Wang Jin mentioned the guns, and Zhu Gaoyu remembered.

Before he went to sea, he recruited several craftsmen and asked them to study new guns and artillery.

Originally, he had always kept this in mind, but there were so many things that happened today that he forgot about it.

Thinking of the drawings he left for the craftsmen before leaving, Zhu Gaoyu couldn't sit still.

Let Wang Jin watch here, and he took the guards and returned to Jinling.

By the way, I also brought back my personal belongings and two beautiful little maids.

"Your Highness, you're back!"

Zhu Gaoyu had just arrived at the gate of the palace with his people, and Uncle Zhang, who was still waiting at the door, happily ran over to greet him and personally led Zhu Gaoyu's horse.

"The slave and maid pay a visit to His Highness and congratulate His Highness on his safe return!"

The families who were waiting in line on both sides of the palace gate hurriedly bowed to each other!

Zhu Gaoyu waved his hand and instructed Uncle Zhang: "On the carriage are my personal maids, arrange them next to Chun'er's room, and by the way, find a mother-in-law to teach them the rules of the Ming Dynasty, and choose clothes that match their status." ”

Uncle Zhang hurriedly nodded and wrote down, and followed Zhu Gaoyu into the open middle door.

"There's a family banquet in the palace tonight, so there's no need to prepare our dinner."

waved his hand to the maids who saluted in the courtyard, Zhu Gaoyu explained, and went straight to the right house.

This is the forbidden place of the palace, except for serving the people here.

The subordinates of other mansions entered without notification, and the guards guarding the door could be killed directly.

"Your Highness, someone wrote a letter of impeachment last year, saying that you raised private soldiers here with the intention of rebellion."

walked into the right house, and when there were no other people around Zhu Gaoyu, the old housekeeper Uncle Zhang, reported a situation.

Zhu Gaoyu, who was thinking about how far a few masters had studied, stopped slightly.

"Who is it?"

"The right of the Inspectorate is the imperial history of Jianghan!"

Uncle Zhang whispered a name and official position.

"Whose people have found out?"

Zhu Gaoyu frowned, recalling this person's memory in his heart.

Although there were many officials in the imperial court, Zhu Gaoyu thought that his memory was very good.

As long as he has seen people who have seen two sides, he can almost remember it clearly.

But this Zuo Du Yushi, he has no impression at all.

That's a little weird.

No matter what the other party says, it is also the imperial history of the fourth grade, and he is not a petty official, so how can he not have any impression at all.

"He's just been promoted after you went out, and as for the people in the back... I don't know. ”

Noticing that Zhu Gaoyu's brows were slightly furrowed, Uncle Zhang hurriedly told the other party's situation.

Zhu Gaoyu suddenly realized.

And he said.

Officials above the fifth rank of the imperial court, he can almost call out the other party's name, how could there suddenly appear one that he didn't know.

"Hmph, it doesn't matter if you don't know, if you dare to come out and come out, you will be killed directly, I think he has a few heads enough to beat."

Don't look at Zhu Gaoyu's instigation in front of the old man, in fact, he is a very tough person, and he is also a cautious person.

For this kind of person who dares to frame him, Zhu Gaoyu's response is a slap to death.

"That, Your Highness doesn't need it, he's dead."

Seeing that His Royal Highness was a little annoyed, Uncle Zhang hurriedly said what happened to the other party.

Zhu Gaoyu looked back in astonishment.

"Dead?"

Uncle Zhang nodded.

"He died that day, and was beaten to death by His Majesty on charges of slandering the prince and disturbing royal relations."

"I'm still going to see the corpse, the old ......... dead"

Zhang Bo was just about to tell the other party's tragic situation, but was glared back by Zhu Gaoyu's eyes that wanted to kill.

Zhu Gaoyu took a deep breath, "Has the mastermind behind it been found?" ”

Lao Zhang shook his head.

Zhu Gaoyu pointed at him.

"If you're idle, go to the back kitchen to help pick up vegetables and wash the dishes......"

Zhu Gaoyu was really speechless.

People are dead, why are you still talking about this, are you idle and boring?

was killed because of an impeachment note, and the real culprit behind the scenes did not continue to investigate, Zhu Gaoyu could guess with his toes who the murderer behind the scenes was.

can make the old man so angry, except for the three elder brothers, there must be no one else.

But speaking of which, Zhu Gaoyu is really a little curious.

Which brother is planning to take advantage of his absence to attack the palace?

Glaring at Lao Zhang, who had left in a gray manner, Zhu Gaoyu pushed open the closed courtyard door and strode in.

It is an empty courtyard without any vegetation decoration.

The ground was tamped with loess, and several blacksmith furnaces glowing red were burning.

Next to the blacksmith's furnace, there were several shirtless men, under the protection of the soldiers, smashing the iron with hammers.

"Stop, Your Highness is down!"

Noticing that the door was opened, an old man who watched everyone work hurriedly asked everyone to stop.

"Meet Your Highness!"

Everyone in the courtyard, including the soldiers, hurriedly bowed to the ground and saluted.

"Get up, I've been away for more than a year, and I've worked hard for everyone."

Zhu Gaoyu is very polite to these capable people.

not only smiled and let everyone get up, but also personally helped the old man who spoke.

"Master Li, how have you been researching for more than a year?"

Know that these craftsmen are all low-level people. is not good at relationship communication, Zhu Gaoyu went straight to the topic and asked the other party about the research results of more than a year.

Master Li, who had only met Zhu Gaoyu a few times, was indeed a little nervous.

Originally, he was still thinking about how to communicate with Zhu Gaoyu, so as not to offend this big man and lose his job.

I didn't expect the other party to go straight to the topic without nonsense.

Speaking of his expertise, Master Li relaxed a lot, and while talking about the situation, he warmly invited Zhu Gaoyu and walked to the next room, which was guarded and locked by the soldiers.

"Your Highness, according to your drawings and the principles explained to us, we have made some samples."

"It's just that we didn't test it because the place wasn't suitable, but based on the old man's experience in making guns for so many years, there was absolutely no problem with firing."

Leading Zhu Gaoyu into the house, Master Li opened one of the long, locked boxes, revealing the contents of the box.

Zhu Gaoyu was in no mood to talk to Master Li at this time, and his whole attention was attracted by the contents of the box.

This is a near-perfect flintlock rifle.

According to Zhu Gaoyu's visual inspection.

The barrel is about 120 centimeters long, and the caliber is estimated at 20 millimeters.

The overall shape is close to the most perfect state of the flintlock pistol.

Perhaps in order to make the gun look better, the craftsman also carved a pattern on it.

As a later generation, Zhu Gaoyu is second in his understanding of guns in this current world, and no one dares to call him first.

Daming's firecracker, Zhu Gaoyu can't look down on it at all, it's okay to listen to that thing, forget it about killing the enemy.

Although he wants to make the kind of assault rifle that can break through, he can use the current manufacturing capacity of the Ming Dynasty, let alone an assault rifle, and it is enough to draw rifling for the gun.

Retreating, Zhu Gaoyu chose a smoothbore flintlock pistol, intending to be the main equipment in the early stage of his future army.

Although Zhu Gaoyu is not a military fan, he is also a little interested in guns, and he has also seen some information when he watched the video.

After coming to this world and having hands-on ability, he relied on his memory to copy those materials to prevent accidental forgetting.

Now, more than ten years have passed.

These materials, which were only graphics and words, were finally turned into real objects and displayed in front of his eyes.
