"You'll make the arrangements?"
Queen Ma was stunned, then looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Chongba, what do you mean, you have already agreed?"
Zhu Biao's letter was to seek Zhu Yuanzhang's consent.
Of course, the most important thing is to tell Zhu Yuanzhang that Su Jing is going to Shandong.
Otherwise, it would be bad if there is some misunderstanding.
"I agree, of course I agree, why not?"
Zhu Yuanzhang replied: "Sister, do you understand what Su Jing did in Shandong?"
Queen Ma looked at Zhu Biao's letter again and said, "Mr. Su, aren't you looking for something? It's called graphite."
"Is it necessary for Biao'er to follow?"
The mother is still worried.
Although I know that Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely make arrangements along the way, as a mother, my worries will not diminish one bit.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Sister, you still don't understand. Su Jing is looking for this graphite to make iron, to make better and stronger iron."
"The main raw material for making firecrackers is iron. Su Jing obviously wants to improve the firecrackers. For such a big event, it would be perfect for Prince Biao'er to follow him!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's thinking was still in place.
He has firmly grasped the relationship between Su Jing's iron-making and fire guns.
With his emphasis on firearms, there is also this new type of fire gun that he just made.
It was enough for Zhu Yuanzhang to look forward to Su Jing's next improvements.
Zhu Yuanzhang would be worried if no one followed Su Jing.
Zhu Biao is the prince, so it is appropriate for him to do this.
"Then have you ever thought about it? There are only a few months left in the new year. What will happen if you can't make it by then?"
Queen Ma said to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "Biao'er's trip is for the Ming Dynasty, but it's just a new year. What's wrong if he can't come back? As a dignified prince, you still have to have this responsibility."
Lao Zhu's cultivation of Zhu Biao was never doting.
"Then you have to make arrangements!"
Queen Ma made no further objections. It was meaningless what she said now that the matter was at this point.
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: "Don't worry, I will definitely arrange everything properly. Su Jing will set off tomorrow, taking Biao'er and Lao Wu to Yingtian first, and then to Shandong."
"tomorrow!"
When Queen Ma heard this, her expression suddenly changed and she shouted at Zhu Yuanzhang: "Chongba, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
No, you didn’t let me say it either?
Zhu Yuanzhang thought in his heart that he would definitely not dare to say it on his face.
"I'll go back and prepare something for Biao'er and Mr. Su first."
Queen Ma left in a hurry. This son was going to travel far away, and the mother had to be well prepared.
Seeing Queen Ma leaving, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little unhappy.
Aren't you still very concerned about yourself staying up late and not being able to bear it anymore? Now when you hear that your son is going to Shandong with Su Jing, you immediately stop caring about yourself.
The speed of this face change is really too fast.
But Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have much time to worry about this matter. He had to arrange the itinerary for Zhu Biao.
No matter what, Zhu Biao is the prince.
On the way to Shandong, we can’t make any mistakes.
After a brief thought, he thought of a suitable escort candidate.
Muying!
Fujian is along the coast, and Shandong is also along the coast.
Moreover, Su Jing's Langxian and Yuanyang formations were originally created to fight against Japanese pirates along the coast of Shandong.
It would be best to have Mu Ying personally teach the garrisoned generals.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the new gun in his hand again. To be precise, this should have been renamed a flintlock gun.
"Su Jing, you are really a genius!"
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but admired.
He has already imagined what it will be like after all the Ming Shen Machine Battalions are equipped with this new type of firecrackers.
The news that Baoyuan Bureau had made new firearms did not last long.
Zhu Yuanzhang made such a big fanfare and asked Baoyuan Bureau to immediately produce new fire guns. This news must not be trivial.
Baoyuan Bureau.
Xu Da and Chang Yuchun just met at the door.
"Tiande, why are you here?"
"Boren, aren't you here too?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The two exchanged greetings, but the expressions on their faces said it all.
As the first and second-in-command who often go on expeditions, the relationship between the two is quite good.
It can be called the "Twin Stars of the Ming Dynasty".
"The Duke of Wei, the Duke of E."
The person in charge of Baoyuan Bureau was waiting early.
As soon as this new firearm came out, he thought of the current situation.
This type of firearm, which can quickly increase combat power, is extremely attractive to generals leading troops.
"It seems that you also know the purpose of our coming. Where are the things?"
Xu Da said to the official in charge of Baoyuan Bureau.
"Go back to Wei Guogong. They are all ready at the shooting range and can be tried out at any time."
"Okay! Boren, let's go take a look now."
When Xu Da heard this, he immediately excitedly said to Chang Yuchun.
"Okay, let's see how powerful the new firearm that makes His Majesty so excited is!"
Chang Yuchun also rubbed his hands and said impatiently.
The two of them soon arrived at the shooting range, and someone handed two new firearms that had passed the quality test into their hands.
Teach two people how to use it at the same time.
Before they started filling ammunition, Xu Da and Chang Yuchun were already shocked.
"You mean, this firecracker doesn't need to light the fuse?"
Xu Da asked the officials on the side.
This Ming Dynasty general Xu Da is the magic needle in the army.
Firearms also played a huge role in the battles he commanded.
Xu Da knew a lot about firearms.
This can be fired without lighting a match, which is obviously an extremely novel design.
"Back to Wei Guogong, yes, this new style of fire gun does not have a match rope design. If you want to fire it, you only need to pull the trigger here."
The official explained to Xu Da.
Pull the trigger?
Xu Da was stunned for a moment. Isn't this the same as using a hand crossbow? Is it so convenient?
"That is to say, I can use it alone. Is that what you mean?"
Xu Da said.
The official nodded and said: "Wei Guogong is right, you can try it."
"Okay! I want to see if it's as magical as you said."
Xu Da immediately raised his firecracker and aimed at the target not far ahead.
Put your finger on the trigger and pull it directly.
boom!
After a gunshot, the target in front of him fell into pieces.
boom!
Chang Yuchun on the other side also pulled the trigger, and the same scene appeared.
"Hahahahaha!"
"Hahahahaha!"
The two looked at each other and burst into laughter.
"Okay, okay! With this, our fire gun team will at least double its combat power!"
Xu Da said excitedly.
"Who came up with this? It's really amazing!"
Chang Yuchun asked the official beside him.
The official replied: "Your Majesty brought the drawing last night, and I don't know who designed it."
Zhu Yuanzhang personally delivered it overnight.
When Chang Yuchun heard this, he immediately looked at Xu Da.
"Boren, it seems you want to be with me again."
Xu Da said with a smile.
Such a clever design made both of them think of Su Jing.
Because other people were not worthy, Zhu Yuanzhang went to Baoyuan Bureau overnight to supervise the production in person.
News of the emergence of new firearms quickly spread throughout the Ming Dynasty.
After all, the morning pilgrimage, which had always started on time, rain or shine, had actually stopped!
This is a big deal for Yingtian Mansion officials who have to go to court every day.
The generals naturally rushed to tell each other, extremely excited and excited.
It would be better to have more of this kind of thing that directly enhances the combat power of the army.
Although the civil officials were not as excited as the generals, there was still a lot of speculation.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang rushed to Baoyuan Bureau overnight to supervise the work in person.
Who is it that has such a great reputation that Zhu Yuanzhang can trust him so much?
For a time, various speculations continued.
At this moment, in the Governor's Mansion.
Mu Ying was explaining the handling of various affairs to her subordinates.
Even though he had just arrived at the Governor's Mansion as an errand not long ago, he was already quite proficient in handling large and small affairs.
Mu Ying is very good at leading troops in combat, and he is also a good hand at handling these military affairs.
All kinds of squeezed military affairs, large and small, can be implemented quickly under Mu Ying's handling.
It's no wonder that Muying was able to guard Yunnan later, and the army and the people caught him.
Such people are born with management talents.
At this time, his three subordinates were listening to him, and they were writing furiously in their hands.
Mu Ying explained in detail how to deal with different situations and who to ask for advice on.
Just because Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to go to Shandong with Su Jing, he might not be able to stay in the governor's mansion for a while.
During this trip to Shandong, Zhu Yuanzhang also directly told Mu Ying Su Jing's purpose.
In order to improve the firecracker, search for raw materials.
Mu Ying also experienced the first new fire gun that Zhu Yuanzhang took from Baoyuan Bureau.
Mu Ying also couldn't put it down for this new style of fire gun.
He understood more and more the heavy responsibility of his trip. He must protect Su Jing well and never let any accidents happen to him.
…
the other side.
Lishui County.
Su Jing was busy in the kitchen, Zhu Zhu was sitting at the mouth of the stove and burning the stove, while Zhu Biao was helping Su Jing.
"Remember, you must bring high-calorie food with you when you go out, otherwise you won't be able to bear it."
Su Jing braised the beef and explained it to Zhu Biao and Zhu Ru.
Zhu Biao listened very carefully, but his anxiety never stopped.
Because he has never received a reply from his father Zhu Yuanzhang.
He still doesn't know how to deal with this matter.
Just the improvement of this new fire gun should be heavy enough for my father.
"Give me the knife."
Su Jing shouted.
Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, and then handed the bone-cutting knife at his hand to Su Jing.
"Niu Yi, what I want is the boning knife. What's wrong with you? You're distracted."
Su Jing said helplessly.
He obviously wanted to remove the meat rather than chop the bones. Judging from Zhu Biao's eyesight, such a thing should not happen.
"I'm sorry, Master Su."
Zhu Biao immediately apologized.
"It's okay, just be careful. There are many sharp objects in the kitchen, so don't accidentally hurt yourself."
Su Jing comforted.
The whole afternoon was quickly finished. Since everything was open, I naturally wouldn't go out to eat.
A grilled sheep head, made by Su Jing, is quite soft and tasty.
Zhu Zhu ate happily, but Zhu Biao lost his appetite.
"Master Su, I'm full."
After all, Zhu Ru was young and had a small appetite, so he couldn't eat much.
Su Jing smiled and said: "Okay, then go and wash yourself, and then go back to the room. It's cold, so be sure to close the doors and windows."
"Yes, Master Su."
Zhu Ru nodded and Su Jing left the restaurant.
At this time, Su Jing looked at Zhu Biao and said, "What's wrong, Niu Yi, you seem to have something on your mind."
Zhu Biao nodded and said: "Yes, Master Su, the student wants to go to Shandong with you."
Su Jing smiled and said, "You're not Niu Su, so it's not impossible to take you with me, but will your parents agree? Have you ever thought about it?"
Zhu Biao will be sixteen after the New Year, and he is an adult according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty.
Su Jing was not that resistant to bringing Zhu Biao with her.
Moreover, Su Jing chose a carriage for this trip. After all, only a carriage can bring enough supplies.
So it’s not difficult for multiple people.
Su Jing had already learned how to drive, so it wasn't a big problem.
But Zhu Biao's family situation is not that of a child from an ordinary family.
"Master Su, this is not what students are worried about."
Zhu Biao shook his head and said.
That's not it?
Su Jing was stunned for a moment, but then he figured it out. He looked at Zhu Biao and said, "Are you worried that I won't be able to leave Lishui County?"
Su Jing has always been aware of Gong Weilang's existence.
I just don't know that those people are the guards, but I am sure that they are the guards of my own student.
"Master Su, do you know everything?"
Zhu Biao looked at Su Jing with a surprised look on his face. He was very surprised.
He never knew how to speak, but he didn't expect Su Jing to know.
"No, Niu Yi, teacher, in your eyes, don't I have any IQ at all?"
Su Jing looked at Zhu Biao and joked.
Zhu Biao immediately said: "No, no, Master Su, the student doesn't mean this, it's just..."
Zhu Biao wanted to explain, but he didn't seem to know how to explain. He was so anxious that sweat broke out on his head.
"Ha ha."
Su Jing smiled and said: "I won't tease you anymore. I just guessed this. After all, there were many 'treasonous and unethical' remarks in the classes you and I took. Your father, as an important minister in the court, was on guard against me. It should be."
Su Jing knows the dangers of key politics.
But when we really get serious about politics, we often forget about danger.
Su Jing has a system, so she often puts danger behind her.
He still has some black technology stuff that he hasn't used yet. If he really wants to yo-yo, I can only say that no one should be able to find him in Daming.
"Then why Master Su still..."
Zhu Biao asked Su Jing, but he did not finish his words completely.
Su Jing naturally knew what he meant, looked at Zhu Biao and said, "I believe you."
Su Jing's words immediately stunned Zhu Biao.
After being stunned for a while, he said: "Master Su, what you mean is that you believe in me, that's why..."
"Yes, you are my student. I know your character best. I believe that the father who trained you will not be any worse."
Su Jing explained with a smile.
Of course, Su Jing definitely didn't tell the whole story and believed Zhu Biao was true, but he also had his own insurance measures.
However, there is no need to say it so clearly in front of your students.
Zhu Biao looked at Su Jing, his eyes full of gratitude and emotion:
"Master Su, students will never betray your trust!"
