Zhu Ying frowned slightly.
The old man arranged for him to meet Lan Yu, what did he mean?
After pondering for a moment, Zhu Ying replied: "Okay, I haven't seen Duke Liang's style before."
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "Don't be scared by him."
After hearing this, Zhu Ying said confidently: "If Duke Liang leads 5,000 men and I lead 5,000 men, maybe I have to avoid it."
"If we fight alone, hey, old man, one Liang Guogong may not be enough for me to fight."
This may sound like bragging to others.
But Zhu Yuanzhang knew clearly that his eldest grandson was really a ruthless person.
Coupled with the work-for-relief program a few days ago, he really can be regarded as a civil and military character.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang felt very pleased.
"Okay, we know that the great grandson is unparalleled in bravery and can be defeated by ten thousand people. However, marching and fighting is not a one-person effort. What is important is the formation of troops. I wonder what the great grandson thinks about fighting." Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
Zhu Ying heard this and knew that the old man was testing his military ability.
After thinking for a moment, he did not directly reply to the old man's question, but turned around and said:
"Yesterday, the eldest prince of Prince Yan's Mansion and I went to see the Gunpowder Department together."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he put down the glass in his hand and listened.
Zhu Ying continued: "Now that we are the Ming Dynasty, we are ranked first in the power of firearms. The way we fought in the past has been quietly changing. When I look at future military operations, firearms should be the first priority."
"Better use of firearms to coordinate combat operations should be the focus of exploration now."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly. Dasun did not talk about the things in the military book. Instead, he talked about firearms, which obviously had the same views as his.
Firearms are crucial to conquering the world. From beginning to end, Zhu Yuanzhang attached great importance to the research and development of firearms and their large-scale use in the army.
"Dasun went to the Gunpowder Department to see what he had in mind." Zhu Yuanzhang asked casually, without taking it too seriously.
He didn't think that Da Sun could come up with any unique insights. After all, the technology and production of gunpowder had always been strictly controlled by him and would never be allowed to be leaked.
Hearing this, a trace of hesitation flashed across Zhu Ying's face.
In fact, as far as the current firearms production is concerned, due to industrial restrictions, there will not be many changes in a short period of time.
The only thing that can be improved and quickly increase the power of firearms is gunpowder granulation.
When he looked at the powdered black powder in the Gunpowder Department, he had already discovered a very small amount of granulated gunpowder.
People today don't understand enough about gunpowder granulation. At that time, there were many craftsmen who crushed the granulated gunpowder into powder.
This is a matter of cognition and habit, and Zhu Ying is not surprised.
Naturally formed granular gunpowder like this actually has no obvious effect when used. Instead, it will more easily cause the chamber to explode.
Zhu Ying's current hesitation is that he doesn't know whether he should tell the old man about the effect of gunpowder granulation.
Seeing his grandson deep in thought, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly and did not rush him.
He took a bite with the vegetables, drank the wine in the glass, and filled it up for his eldest grandson.
Nowadays, people don’t pay as much attention to wine as later generations. They can just take a sip and be done with it.
Zhu Ying saw the old man pouring wine for her, and remembered what the old man said earlier about letting her meet Lan Yu. After thinking for a while, she said:
"Old man, in fact, in the Western Regions, gunpowder has undergone new reforms."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang paused, frowned, and asked, "What reform?"
"Gunpowder granulation." Zhu Ying replied.
Zhu Yuanzhang himself knew a lot about firearms, and was even familiar with gunpowder formulas and firearms production.
This word was easy for Zhu Yuanzhang to understand, and he asked: "Can this make the power of gunpowder more powerful?"
"That's right." Zhu Ying said with certainty.
"The current powder gunpowder is extremely susceptible to moisture and is inconvenient to transport. Even a little rain can only stop the use of the fire system."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded when he heard this, currently in order to ensure the normal use of gunpowder.
Fire commanders would carry saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal powder separately, and then mix them into gunpowder just before going to the battlefield.
This is a big flaw on the battlefield. Sudden encounters and bad weather will cause great trouble in the temporary configuration of gunpowder.
"The method that Da Sun said, we will know when the time comes."
Zhu Yuanzhang said after hearing this. The tone was relatively calm and not overly exciting.
If you don't see some things, you can't understand them simply by relying on other people's words.
Zhu Ying was not surprised. He knew that it would be impossible to make the old man realize the huge changes brought about by gunpowder granulation in just a few words.
In fact, this technology had begun to be gradually discovered and used by the middle and late Ming Dynasty.
But for current gunpowder technology, it is really a black technology.
Once it is completely changed, it will bring a devastating blow to the enemy.
When drinking wine, I don’t feel much, but the stamina is much greater.
Gradually, the old man started to feel a little tipsy.
Being with Da Sun, the sadness caused by Mu Ying's death was immediately diluted.
"We have arranged a few teachers for you. Bring them over tomorrow. Then you can learn more from them."
Zhu Yuanzhang drank another drink and said to Zhu Ying with a smile.
Zhu Yuanzhang's current preparation is to train his grandson like his own son.
Wencheng, a military commander, gradually built a strong team for Da Sun.
He knows very well what Dasun will face in the future. Only a strong team can suppress all dissatisfaction.
He had already sent an urgent edict to Lan Yu who had conquered Handong, ordering him to return to the capital immediately.
At the same time, Jin Yiwei was asked to stop collecting blue jade, as well as a series of criminal evidence against Huaixi generals.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion, Da Sun was more outstanding than Zhu Yunwen.
The most important thing is that if Lan Yu recognizes this nephew, the Huaixi Generals Group will be the best sword in his grandson's hands.
Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang knew very well that his eldest grandson came out of a fight with him.
I will never guard this home safely.
The current eldest grandson is only eighteen years old, and there are still so many years in the future. With his temperament, let alone anything else.
Defeat Japan for sure.
As a grandfather, what can he do?
If you can't be persuaded, then you can only continue to fight.
Fight early.
No matter how hard he fights, the eldest grandson can still gain meritorious service. When the time comes to inherit the throne, no one will dare to make irresponsible remarks.
"Although the wine is good, the old man can't be greedy. After drinking this glass, go and have a rest." Zhu Ying poured the old man half a glass and said.
"It's full, it's full, it's just such a small wine glass, you're looking down on us." Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the half glass of wine and pretended to be angry.
Zhu Ying had no choice but to give it to him.
It is now the custom of the Ming Dynasty to see off guests with tea and toast with wine.
If the old man takes this as an example, there is nothing he can do.
Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled, picked up the glass and drank it in one gulp, laughing and saying: "It's refreshing."
Wine can lower blood pressure and protect the heart.
Drinking it appropriately is obviously better for the old man's health, and it is also easier to promote sleep.
It didn't take long for the wine's stamina to kick in, and the old man felt a little sleepy.
"Today, Dasun will sleep with us."
Zhu Yuanzhang was supported by Zhu Ying and walked into the room with a hint of pleading in his tone.
Hearing this, Zhu Ying did not hesitate, nodded and said: "Okay, I will sleep with the old man today. I am not worried about you sleeping alone after drinking."
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed happily.
In the room, Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the bed, and Zhu Ying helped the old man change his clothes and take off his shoes.
Zhu Yuanzhang took off his coat, and his underwear made of silk and satin was extremely luxurious.
Zhu Ying saw it and didn't show any surprise.
After helping the old man finish it, Zhu Ying also took off her coat and slept next to the old man.
Looking at the side face of his eldest grandson, who was close at hand, Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes and fell asleep quickly with the staying power of the wine.
