After Zheng He and Liu Sheng finished eating, they came to the school grounds. In the afternoon, Xu Qin came here to watch these people perform.
Shi Buyu's sentry finally passed the drill and entered the second to last stage, the practical stage. Seeing Zheng He coming, Xu Qin quickly stood up to greet him.
"Master Xu, thank you for your hard work, Zheng." Zheng He said.
"Don't say those kind words. If you really want to repay me, bring me some beauties when you come back from the West. You know that I am greedy and lustful."
Xu Qin was too lazy to be polite. He really didn't have the energy.
"No women are allowed on board. I'm afraid Zheng won't be able to help with this requirement." Zheng He shook his head and said.
There are naturally rules for going to sea, and it is not easy for him to break them.
"If you want to break the rules, gold, silver and jewelry are fine." Xu Qin said casually. He took out a cylinder from his sleeve and handed it to Zheng He.
"What is this?" Zheng He asked, holding the iron bucket.
"You can call him clairvoyance, but now this technology can only see seven or eight miles, and it will be blurry if it is more than ten miles." Xu Qin finished teaching Zheng He how to use it.
Zheng He stood on the high platform and adjusted the focus of the telescope. As expected, the scene seven or eight miles away seemed to be in front of him.
"This thing is so magical. With it, you can predict the enemy's opportunities. You said at the beginning that the soap can allow King Zhongshan to predict the enemy's opportunities. In fact, it is this thing. Isn't it?"
Zheng He held the telescope hard and said excitedly.
Xu Qin chuckled in his heart, what an ignorant Ming Dynasty man. How could Xu Da have this thing? It's fine if you want to rely on him, as long as you don't treat me like a monster.
"That's right, but don't lose this thing. It's not difficult to imitate." Xu Qin said.
"Don't worry, Zheng will take good care of such military and national weapons." Zheng He said solemnly.
Then he picked it up with itch and looked into the distance to observe.
Xu Qinxin said, I believe you, you have to tell that old guy Zhu Di after you leave the military camp.
Take out a box from under your butt.
"There are three more guns inside. Please give them to His Majesty for me so that he can add more craftsmen to me. If you still want to go to sea, bring enough fire blunderbuss."
Xu Qin said that he is in urgent need of craftsmen. And it seems to be in an endless loop. The more craftsmen come, the more things happen.
Then there were not enough craftsmen. Xu Qin didn’t know how many craftsmen there were in the Ming Dynasty, but he always asked Zhu Di for some benefits.
Venture capital must give investors some hope before they can continue to invest money.
"I can't hold it anymore, I want a woman. My beautiful maid, damn it, let me go home."
Xu Qin exploded, shouting into the air angrily. Zheng He was shocked.
But the three thousand households next to it seemed to have long been used to it.
The soldiers present were also used to it.
"It's just this once in a few days. Don't worry, Sir. Sir Xu just wants to vent." Shi Buyu explained to Zheng He.
Sure enough, Xu Qin yelled a few words, picked up a stick and slapped the air, and returned to normal when he was exhausted.
"What a joke, being with these stinky men will drive me crazy." Xu Qin explained to Zheng He.
Everyone around him turned his head away, laughing too embarrassedly and feeling very uncomfortable.
Zheng He tried his best to remain gentle. This little prince grew up in fine clothes and fine food, and he grew up in a heap of beauty and powder. I guess it was a bitter experience for the first time.
But he also felt really uncomfortable, thinking about a woman in front of so many people. It is truly unprecedented and probably unprecedented.
Zheng He couldn't bear it and said goodbye to Xu Qin quickly. After riding out of the military camp to make sure that Xu Qin couldn't hear him, Zheng He burst into violent laughter.
He ran into the imperial city laughing all the way.
When Zheng He met Zhu Di, Zhu Di was discussing matters with Yang Shiqi, Yang Pu, Jian Yi and others.
Regarding the establishment of the Xuanwei Department at Srivijaya Old Port.
"Zheng He, you are here at the right time. The envoy of the Xuanwei Department of Srivijaya Old Port is appointed Shi Jinqing. When you go, take the official seal and the imperial edict with you."
Zhu Di said.
"I obey your decree." Zheng He said, holding the box in his hand.
"What are you holding in your hand?" Zhu Di saw the box in his hand.
"This object is a treasure made by Master Xu Qin. Because he was too busy, he specially asked his ministers to present it to His Majesty." Zheng He said.
"What's eating again? This kid only scratches while eating, that's all." Zhu Di chuckled.
This was said lightly, but these important ministers all knew that His Majesty was satisfied.
If he is not satisfied, he will not respond to every request, and people will transfer a large number of craftsmen from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Gunpowder Bureau of the Military War Bureau.
Zheng He opened the box and took out a cylinder to teach Zhu Di. Zhu Di looked at it and seemed to be inedible.
"What is this?" Zhu Di asked.
"My young father-in-law said that this thing is clairvoyant. But now his skills are still far behind. He can't see it from a thousand miles away. It can be clearly seen within ten miles or eight miles."
Zheng He said.
"Seriously? So magical?" Zhu Di was surprised, but it wasn't that he didn't believe it. He 100% believed what Zheng He said.
What's really surprising is that if this thing really existed, it would be a weapon for the military.
Zheng He immediately gave an example to Zhu Di. Zhu Di took the telescope and adjusted it carefully, and sure enough, he could clearly see the brick sculptures within a few dozen meters outside Wuying Hall.
He was so itchy that he immediately took several important ministers to the highest point of the imperial city and looked around with binoculars.
So a group of old men with white beards turned into curious babies. Yang Shiqi actually took the opportunity to peek into the inner palace, where a palace maid and a noble concubine were playing Cuju.
Zhu Di saw the King of Han striding into the palace, while the arrogant young eunuchs and palace maids stayed away.
There was even a little eunuch who was a little slow and was kicked over by Zhu Gaoxu, who also pointed at his nose and cursed him.
Jian Yi and Yang Pu were fighting for the remaining telescope. Both of them were stunned by this kind of thing. It was incredible that something so far away suddenly appeared in front of them.
"If that kid doesn't engage in loss-making business, why do you want to be so diligent?" Zhu Di said, stroking the telescope.
In fact, his eyes were looking in the direction Zhu Gaoxu came from.
"Master Xu still wants some craftsmen." Zheng He whispered.
"Here, if he can always create this kind of treasure, I will give him as much as he wants. How is the boy doing lately?" Zhu Di turned around and asked.
Zheng He couldn't help but laugh when he thought of Xu Qin's appearance. Immediately, he told Xu Qin that he went crazy intermittently and yelled about missing women.
Zhu Di couldn't help but smile.
"If you are greedy for money and lustful, you only know about money and women. Those who are worthless will suffer from women sooner or later. Just hold it in, quitting sex will be good for him."
Zhu Di said happily.
"My young father-in-law also grew up among a lot of people. I guess he has never experienced such hardship. This time it is really hard." Zheng He said in a low voice.
"It's rare that you have never asked me for anything or said good things to anyone in these years. This is the first time. It seems that he has done a good job."
Zhu Di said while stroking his beard.
"I'm talking too much. Your Majesty is naturally clear and knows everything." Zheng He quickly lowered his head and said.
"Haha, people who are close to Mo are dark. Once I get to know him, he is also good at flattering. I like to talk like this from now on."
Zhu Di said with satisfaction. There is no magnanimity at all.
"Your Majesty, the young prince also gave me one as a gift. He warned me that this thing is very easy to imitate and should not be easily lost."
Zheng He took out his own and said.
"Forget it, just take what's yours. You'll need them for your voyage to the West. I'll keep these myself. I'll give them to the commander for use if there's an important expedition."
Zhu Di said as he fumbled for the telescope in his hand.
Groups of craftsmen were once again transferred from various yamen in Yingtian Mansion. They even started to be deployed in several nearby provinces.
Zhu Di knew all about Xu Qin's eating, drinking and sleeping habits, so he naturally knew that he had been a little crazy recently. But what he built amazed him.
The firecrackers alone are developing in two directions. The long and thin ones are called bird guns. The level of accuracy can defeat the flying birds. So Xu Qin gave him this name.
The shorter and thicker ones are called blunderbuss, and they are large and large. There is also the Crouching Tiger Cannon, which is a good tool for defeating enemies at close range.
The key is that Xu Qin is still thinking about a ground-breaking bomb. The small one can be thrown by a strongman to blow up people, while the big one can be used as a cannonball, and then explode when it lands on the ground.
For Zhu Di, a war fanatic, nothing stimulates him more than good weapons. Not to mention craftsmen, even palace maids will be provided.
Zheng He retreated, and all the important officials had left. Zhu Gaoxu met his father in Wuying Hall.
The whole person is decadent and has no energy. Like a sick child. And he looked guilty. It seems that he came here to confess.
Zhu Di knew what he was thinking, he still wanted Tian Cewei. This time, the Jin Yiwei captured a lot of people from the Han and King's two guards.
Moreover, many people were arrested and never released. Zhu Di took the opportunity to replace many people in his two guards. The King of Han is indeed much more honest.
Zhu Di thought that this punishment was enough. Seeing his second son so sickly in the past two days, he was ambitious and compassionate.
I plan to give Tiance Guard to him again soon. But today I could see clearly through the telescope that everything was just a pretense to deceive him.
When he entered the palace, he was like a tiger descending from the mountain, and he even dared to beat the young eunuch arrogantly. The energy seemed to be endless.
Seeing that I have turned into a little sheep, do you really think I am easy to deceive? Zhu Di watched his second son perform as best as he could, and the scene of beating the little eunuch resurfaced in his mind.
If it wasn't his biological son, he would definitely jump up and point his nose in his mouth and curse, you little bastard, how dare you lie to me.
At this moment, Zhu Di is a successful emperor. He knows some things and can pretend not to know. Zhu Gaoxu was allowed to perform for half an hour.
In the end, he dismissed it with neither salt nor water. If you want Tiance Guard, stop dreaming, brat.
Without Tiance Guard, you are so arrogant. With Tiance Guard, why don't you go to heaven?
After sending Zhu Gaoxu away, Zhu Di looked at the sky. It seemed that when it was time to hold the lantern, the childlike old man suddenly had an idea.
He quietly climbed to the top of the harem's library, took out his telescope and began to observe the concubines' courtyards one by one.
He wanted to see what these concubines who had been so obedient to him in the past were doing.
He asked Wang Zhong to pass the message to a certain noble concubine and ask her to prepare to pick her up. Then look at the reaction of this noble concubine.
It’s really a time to bathe and change clothes with lights and decorations. Then there was no point in asking Wang Zhong to pass the decree.
The lights would be removed from the imperial concubine's courtyard, and then all the palace ladies would be dejected. Zhu Di never tired of it.
Until he found an unusual concubine, Wang Zhong went to pick her up with a message, but there was no movement from her.
Wang Zhong went to deliver the message and the emperor didn't come, so she didn't make any movement.
"It's her." Zhu Di's curiosity aroused and he decided to attack suddenly.
As a result, it happened that one of the concubines had not come out of the bath, and Zhu Di had a mandarin duck bath because of his temperament.
With the telescope, Lao Zhu opened up a new way to play in the harem. Keep giving hope to others and then take it away. Give hope to the disappointed.
Xu Qin also held a regular staff meeting, which was a meeting of all people above the general banner to summarize the new training.
Then start a new routine. At the same time, he also explained the purpose of training and the use of the new fire gun at the meeting.
According to the current progress, a batch of new fire guns will be available in about ten days. At that time, it will enter a new training stage.
These people are his training instructors, and he tries his best to pass on to them the knowledge he understands and masters.
These people will also explain to him the application of actual combat firearms during the conquest of Annan.
For immediate convenience, Xu Qin also took out the sand table. This way everyone will be more intuitive. Many battles in the Battle of Jingnan were reviewed again and again.
