The sound of the whip is loud and the horse's hooves are heard.
It is the season of continuous rainy season in Jiangbei. From time to time, drizzles of rain fall from the sky. The rain is not very refreshing, so it never falls cleanly. Even when the rain stops, you can't see the bright blue sky. The sky is always covered with layers of dark clouds, and the air is so humid that it seems like it can squeeze out water. The great plains crisscrossed by waterways are even more lush and green, dotted here and there with scattered villages and towns.
On the newly renovated official road on the east bank of the canal in the Huaiyang area, a rather large team of carriages and horses was walking. There are horse-drawn carts with loads of goods bundled on them. There is a white triangular flag with the word "Shunyi" on it. On top of each cart, in addition to the driver, there is a strong warrior wearing a Mongolian round-necked short-sleeved robe, carrying a waist knife, a bow and arrow, and a revolver hidden under the front of the robe. They all wore Mongolian-style braids and looked around with their chests raised and their bellies protruding. There are two teams of Mongolian warriors in the same costume on both sides of the convoy, all with one person and two horses or three horses. The one or two horses that are not carrying people carry large and small bags of luggage on their backs, and you can tell at a glance that they are going on a long journey.
In the middle of the large convoy, there is a group of quite neat cavalry wearing yellow hoods. Under the hoods, they are all wearing purple robes - this is the standard uniform color of the Ming Dynasty Army. Purple, blue, black, brown, and gray are also the only colors that can be dyed by the synthetic fuels that Zhu Da Devil can currently prepare. It requires a lot of running, and you also need to pay attention to military uniform fabrics that are washable and non-fading. Of course, you have to choose from these colors of fabrics.
The yellow armor worn outside the purple shirt shows that these knights are the bodyguards of the Emperor of Heaven!
Zhu Heji was riding a gray ocean horse at this time. The same young man with a tall body, handsome eyebrows, fair skin, and a very neatly trimmed beard was walking in front of the guard cavalry. front.
This young man is none other than Zhu Yiyin, the second prince of the Ming Dynasty, nicknamed the Nerd King.
He was working as a lecturer in the Magic Department of Jinling University while researching new synthetic dyes - this was a direction that could easily produce results, and the results could be easily realized!
It can be seen that this nerd king is still very financially minded.
The only bad thing is that it is easy to be poisoned and sometimes explodes... Bright dyes synthesized with "magic" are relatively easy to produce, but most of them are toxic, harmful, flammable and explosive, so you must be careful when researching them.
Therefore, Zhu Heji has always cared about Zhu Yiyin, and from time to time they would do experiments together, exchange academic ideas, and discuss philosophical ideas. In short, the relationship between the two father and son was quite harmonious.
This time Zhu Yiyin went north on business, and Zhu Heji personally sent him out of Beijing, and kept sending him farther and farther away, all from Nanjing to Yangzhou!
At this time, more than ten steps ahead of Zhu Heji and Zhu Yiyin, two women wearing long-sleeved white silk Mongolian round-neck robes and sun-visor hats were riding tall horses to clear the way.
From the back, the two women seemed to be carved from the same mold. They both had "plus-size" figures, and they were both trained and not flabby at all.
It was midsummer now, and both of their clothes were relatively thin. They had sweated a lot along the way, and their clothes were soaked with sweat and stuck to their backs.
Looking from behind, we can see their strong bodies rising and falling together on horseback, giving them a healthy beauty.
Zhu Heji liked what he saw, so he smiled and asked his precious son Zhu Yiyin: "Xuewen, what do you think of your girl Zhong Chahai? You can tell from just one look that you have a body that can give birth... is it delicious?"
Zhu Yiyin was stunned when she heard this, then her cheeks actually turned red, and she stammered: "Father, how can you say that about sister Zhong Chahai? Do you want... to accept her as your concubine? This, this It’s against human ethics!”
"You, you..." Zhu Heji turned his head and glared at his son, "You bastard, you actually said that to your father! Are you confused by reading the book? And I never thought about it. "Na Zhong Cha Hai, I'm asking you what do you think of Zhong Cha Hai?"
"Me? I, I... I'm her brother!" Zhu Yiyin's cheeks turned redder, her words became more stuttering, and she didn't dare to raise her voice - sister Zhong Chahai was right in front! How bad would it be for her to hear it? Especially Zhu Yiyin has been coveting Zhong Chahai's body for a long time...
After stammering for a long time, Prince Zhu learned the principles of saints and finally defeated the "human desires" deep in his heart. This is called "using heaven's principles to suppress human desires"... You can't go away, you can only suppress it. One press. How could a vigorous young man with good health and a heart full of dirty human desires resist the temptation of a graceful young girl like Zhong Chahai?
Besides, Zhong Chahai, a woman who grew up on the grassland, was passionate and unrestrained, and didn't care much about the defense between men and women. She has a particularly close relationship with the Nerd King... When she first came here, the Nerd King even tutored her in classes.
Boys and girls, facing each other day and night!
"What brother? Her surname is not Zhu, she is always a Chuaros..." Zhu Heji already understood his son's thoughts and whispered, "Just go with him if you like him. You are my second prince, she She is just a prisoner of our family and the daughter of a sinner. It is her blessing that you want her body. I really think she is willing to serve you."
"Father, speak softly so that others can hear..." Zhu Yiyin spoke while looking at the back of Zhong Chahai who was more than ten steps away.
Zhu Heji smiled and lowered his voice: "Second brother, I see that Zhong Chahai's face is also a prosperous husband and protector of the Lord, and she is also interesting to you. You can be considered childhood sweethearts... If you accept her , she will definitely protect you wholeheartedly in the future.
She is the king of Yarkand (Yerqiang) vassal and has some strength. Her biological brother is the king of Shunyi. Among her three half-brothers, two are kings in the northwest, and Zhu Celing is the Khan of the Yin family.
With this strength and connections, there is also Zhong Chahai, the wife of a prosperous husband who protects the Lord. Only in a hundred years can you replace me as the leader of the Ming Dynasty! "
"Leader?" Zhu Yiyin was stunned, "Father, what do you mean..."
At this time, Zhu Heji suddenly lowered his voice and said to his son: "Xuewen, what do you think the Ming Dynasty relied on for its current prosperity?"
"Of course it's because of your wise father and the blessing of your ancestors!"
The Nerd King spoke clichés... It seems like he, a nerd, only stays when he needs to.
"Tell the truth!" Zhu Heji said with a smile, "You and I are both smart people, don't say such useless things."
Zhu Yiyin said: "Then let me tell you... our family was completely dead, and we can only come back because of my father's natural magic!
When our army in the New Ming Dynasty rose, it all relied on the power of sugar and medicine and the fierceness of rockets! Without these two, Jieyang would probably be..."
This is not a weapon-only theory, but technology is the primary combat power... If you buy some second-hand goods from the imperialists and think you are good at fighting, that is a weapons-only theory!
When Sugar Gunpowder first came out, it was a weapon exclusively owned by New Daming!
Moreover, Zhu Heji also controlled the entire sugar and gunpowder industry chain, and later monopolized the international sugar supply for many years. Although the secret of sugar gunpowder has long been revealed, the sugar monopoly has also been broken.
Zhu Yiyin paused, and then said: "Father, if we, the Ming Dynasty, want to be prosperous and prosperous for a long time, we must not relax our research on natural magic. We must continue to improve."
Zhu Heji nodded and asked: "How can we improve natural magic? You have been studying it for two or three years, do you have any experience?"
"I have some experience," Zhu Yiyin said, "If you want to improve your natural magic, you have to explore the world... Everything contains the magic of heaven, but we know very little about everything in the world. If the proven nature of all things There are only about twenty elements of Yuan, which is probably less than one percent of the total number of elements!
The second is to rely on continuous trial and error verification. The yellow dye method that Erchen has been studying for the past two or three years is to use various materials extracted from coal tar and various already known materials day after day, using various methods. Mixing... Although it has never been successful, Erchen has extracted something different from aniline from coal tar, although he still doesn't know what it is? But it’s considered a gain, right? "
That stuff you found could be phenol! Zhu Heji often looked at his son's experimental records, so he knew what he might have tinkered with?
Emperor Zhu Da really wanted to help his son clear up his doubts.
This phenol is a good thing. It can be used for surgical disinfection and can also be used to prepare trinitrophenol, which is picric acid!
But he finally held back because he didn't want to train a true scientist to become an "archaeologist."
And he now has nitroglycerin, so he is not in a hurry to get picric acid.
"It's amazing to discover new things!" Zhu Heji said to his son, "I really did not misjudge you...so you are the only one who can inherit my mantle in the future!"
"Mantle?" Zhu Yiyin was stunned for a moment.
It is not his turn to inherit Zhu Heji's empire... He has Zhu Yixin above him and Zhu Yigang below him, they are both legitimate sons!
Even if they are gone, Daboling still has two sons!
The status of the concubine Da Bo Ling is higher than that of the imperial concubine Bei Jiaxin, and because the imperial concubine Bei Jiaxin is half Portuguese, Zhu Yiyin is also of mixed blood.
Therefore, Zhu Yiyin, the second son, is actually far away from the throne. Perhaps it is for this reason that Zhu Yiyin has little interest in power and is obsessed with learning...
But Zhu Heji couldn't let him be an idle prince who didn't hear anything outside the window. He needed to be the leader of the future Ming Dynasty! A leader who can lead Ming Dynasty into the industrial age!
This leader must have political influence and control a large amount of wealth. Otherwise, he would be a scientific madman at best and would not be able to move forward with the entire civilization.
At the same time, this leader cannot have too much power or wealth, nor can he be involved in disputes over the reserve, and of course he cannot go overseas to join the country.
The marriage between Zhu Yiyin and Zhong Chahai will allow him to have a certain degree of strength while staying away from the highest power - if he does not marry Zhong Chahai, then the Yanping Zheng family will probably bring their daughter in.
Then the problem becomes a bit complicated!
And Zhong Chahai is Galdan's daughter. If she marries her, she will really have nothing to do with the throne.
"Father, the mantle you are talking about is..."
Zhu Yiyin still wanted to ask, but Zhu Heji interrupted him and said: "We will talk about Yibo after you return to Beijing... What you have to do now is to capture Zhong Chahai! Go if you like it, don't be so hesitant. , you are the prince of Ming Dynasty, she dare not disobey!"
Zhu Yiyin glanced at Zhong Chahai's back and finally nodded.
...
"Daughter, you must remember that the rules on the grassland are always to respect the strong!"
At the same time, Anu was also encouraging his daughter Zhong Chahai to throw herself into the arms of Prince Zhu.
Although Zhong Chahai is a "big girl", she is not as thick-skinned as my mother... After all, she is a eldest daughter of the Yellow Flower, and she has also learned a lot of Confucian etiquette from the Ming Dynasty that men and women should not be intimate with each other.
"Mom, isn't this appropriate?" Zhong Chahai was in a state of confusion, his face was already burning, and his heart was even more confused.
"What's inappropriate?" Anu said, "I don't think there is anyone more suitable than the second prince... The eldest prince is the prince and has been engaged to the Zheng family for a long time. The third prince is famous Huaxin, his princess must be chosen from the daughters of the generals of the Su family. The situation of the fourth and fifth princes is similar, and they will most likely marry into powerful families in Chaozhou and southern Fujian. If you don't want to be a junior, then only this second prince Yes. He is a quarter of Portuguese descent and has no interest in politics. Moreover, he has not been sent overseas, so he just happens to marry you. And this is what the Holy One means too!
So as long as you let him sleep, it will be done... If you miss this opportunity, you will regret it. "
"Why can't it be revealed that the matchmaker is marrying him?" Zhong Chahai was still a little unhappy.
"Why isn't the matchmaker marrying you?" Anu glared at her daughter, "I'm just serving the second prince for a few days... When the raw rice becomes cooked rice, no one can object to this matter!"
Although Emperor Zhu Da had long linked the Yarkand Territory to winning Zhong Chahai, Bei Jiaxin did not show any interest... Several bachelors seemed to be opposed!
In addition, the Emperor, who had returned to Nanjing for retirement, seemed not to approve of marrying Zhong Chahai.
In short, if this good thing wants to succeed, Zhong Chahai and Zhu Yiyin must take the initiative... and get it done, then no one can object.
Zhong Chahai was still unhappy and kept shaking his head. At this moment, there was a sound of horse hooves behind her, and then she heard Zhu Yiyin's voice: "Sister Zhong... When we get to the palace later, I will help you review natural magic and arithmetic! Jinling Women's College My husband said you didn’t do well in these two subjects, so I have to teach you well!”
When Zhong Chahai heard this, she wanted to refuse in her heart. She had graduated from Jinling Women's College and even had a job, so why should she take extra classes? But after he opened his mouth, he said: "Well, okay, brother Xuewen, I will listen to you."
