Daming Junior Scholar

He Jiaan was dumbfounded when he heard Bai Huatian's revelations. One must know that with the production speed of the Bingzhan Bureau, dozens of Franco cannons can be produced every month, and these cannons are quickly distributed to the guards in need across the country. So, if these artillery pieces are not up to standard...the consequences would be unimaginable.

Thinking of this, He Jiaan calmed down for a moment, and then asked, "Old man, if these unqualified artillery are fired, what will be the most serious consequences?"

Bai Huatian said without hesitation: "Explode the chamber."

Well, to put it bluntly, he used the artillery shells given to the enemy on himself, which is fine if it is used in normal times, but if it is really used in wartime, it may cause chaos.

Thinking of this, He Jiaan said slowly: "Since the old man is like this, let's make a long story short. In fact, I came to you this time because I want you to come out of the mountain again, but this time we are not going back to the military battle, but going to Paju to rebuild. As a cannon-making workshop, the quality will be entirely up to you, and you must make the best cannon in Ming Dynasty."

A few words from He Jiaan rekindled the enthusiasm in Bai Huatian's heart. To be honest, when he left the Military Bureau, he felt a little helpless in his heart. If he didn't leave, he would have to join them. He didn't want to do that. So I just kept out of sight and out of mind, and left the military battle directly, and now when I heard what He Jiaan said, I immediately nodded and said: "Since Mr. He is talking, how can I, Bai Huatian, not agree? I will let a few The apprentice put out the fire and went to Paju immediately."

He Jiaan finally breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly said: "But before that, Mr. Bai will have to hide for a few days."

"hide?"

Chapter 1152 Whose Cheese

Chapter 1152 Whose Cheese

He Jia'an never thought of himself as a saint, and he would act like a knife when he saw injustice on the road. In his opinion, there are too many injustices in this world, let alone relying on himself alone. Even if the emperor came, he could only take care of the matter in front of him.

If the matter wasn't too urgent, He Jiaan didn't want to do it so desperately. On the one hand, he asked Bai Huatian to take his daughter and son-in-law to hide first, and on the other hand, he went straight to the leopard room.

When they got outside the Leopard Room, even the guards guarding the gate were taken aback. Most of these people had known He Jiaan in Datong, and when they saw him go back and forth, and his face sank, they reacted immediately It seemed that something extraordinary had happened, someone went in to report immediately, and after a while, a young eunuch came out and brought He Jiaan in.

This time, Zhengde did not appear in the imperial study room, but appeared on the school ground that He Jiaan was familiar with. He took out his golden helmet and armor, and was playing with several guards when he saw He Jiaan's At that moment, Zhengde just put down his sword, walked over sweating profusely, and asked curiously: "Why is He Aiqing in the mood to come here if He Aiqing is not going to prepare for leaving the city?"

He Jiaan said seriously: "Your Majesty, just now I wanted to go to the Bing Zhan Bureau to find Mr. Bai Huatian Bai, and wanted him to make some thicker and bigger cannons, but I didn't expect that after arriving at the Bing Zhan Bureau, they told me that Mr. Bai had left the Bing Zhan Bureau." Now that the battle is over, I am a little curious, besides making cannons, Mr. Bai has no other hobbies, so why did he leave the war?"

"Could it be that you are getting older and want to rest more?" Zhengde interrupted suddenly.

He Jiaan shook his head slowly, and said with a wry smile: "In the beginning, I wanted to go with His Majesty, but I was not reconciled. After finding Mr. Bai again, he talked to me differently."

"Oh?" Zhengde faintly felt that these words should be very important, and asked curiously: "Then what did old man Bai say?"

After a pause, He Jiaan said slowly: "Old Master Bai said... In the past six months, all the Franco cannons cast by the Military Bureau are defective."

"What?" When Zhengde listened to He Jiaan's words, his face was stunned for a moment, he opened his mouth and looked at He Jiaan in disbelief, and after a while he said slowly: "He Aiqing, do you know what you just said ?”

"I am willing to take responsibility for what I just said." He Jiaan said firmly.

This time it was Zhengde's turn to be confused. In fact, since He Jiaan said this, he had already believed it in his heart. Believe what he said is false.

But the problem lies with the eunuch who is in charge of the military battle. That person was called by Zhang Yong. Does this matter have anything to do with Zhang Yong?

Thinking of this moment, Zhengde couldn't help looking up at Zhang Yong who was standing in the distance. Because Zhang Yong was far away, he didn't hear what He Jiaan and Zhengde said. Seeing Zhengde looking at him, Thinking that the emperor had some orders, he quickly ran to Zhengde, bowed and said, "What orders does your majesty have?"

After a pause, Zhengde said: "Prepare the horse, I'm going out of the palace."

For other emperors to go out of the palace, it would really take a lot of trouble, but Zhengde's going out of the palace was like a routine, and soon the four-horse cart was ready. He Jiaan wanted to ride behind the carriage, but Zhengde called him to the carriage with a word.

Soon, the carriage drove towards the cannon foundry, and after walking for a while, Zhengde asked slowly: "He Aiqing, let me ask you, you said that all the Franc cannons are defective, but Is there any way to verify it?"

He Jia'an nodded and said: "Yes, I heard from Mr. Bai that the thickness of the cast Franco gun barrel is about half thinner than the original one. After three or four shots, the gun will be in danger of exploding."

"Three or four cannons?" Zhengde's voice came faintly: "I can afford to wait."

After saying this, Zhengde stopped talking, and waited for a group of people to suddenly come to the workshop of the Bingzhan Bureau. Such a large formation shocked everyone here. Knowing that it was the emperor arriving, someone immediately went to inform Eunuch Yu Chuan of the Military War Bureau. Not long after, he saw the disheveled Yu Chuan running over. When he got in front of Zhengde, he knelt down and hurriedly greeted Zhengde.

The expression on Zhengde's face was very relaxed. After Yu Chuan got up, he didn't ask any other questions. He just said that I have some leisure recently and wanted to see the power of our great firearms. Let Yu Chuan take him to see the cast cannons. The place.

Yu Chuan had ghosts in his heart, but he was not afraid that Zhengde would see something. Since Zhengde had spoken, he thought it was a good opportunity for him, so he quickly led the way and took Zhengde around the factory.

Soon, a group of people came to the warehouse where the artillery was installed. Looking at the rows of mighty artillery, Zhengde hesitated for a while. Are these artillery really defective?Is it really like what He Jiaan said, firing three or four shots will blow up the chamber?

After standing and watching for a while, Zhengde suddenly pointed to one of the cannons and said, "Yu Chuan, pull out this cannon for me and fire a few shots. I want to hear it."

Uh……

Hearing that Zhengde actually wanted to test the cannon, Yu Chuan's heart was stunned, and the expression on his face seemed a little nervous, and he quickly smiled at Zhengde and said, "Since it is the order of Long Live God, I will definitely follow it."

After finishing speaking, he pushed out one of the cannons in front of Zhengde, placed it in the test field of the factory, pointed the muzzle at the mountain, and then began to prepare for firing.

"How many times does Long live Lord plan to listen?" Yu Chuan approached nervously.

Zhengde stretched out three fingers and said, "Three rings will do."

There were only three shells, so nothing should happen. Yu Chuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly got the shells ready, and fired them all one after another.

Sure enough, after the three shells, the artillery was still the same artillery, and there was no difference in appearance. Yu Chuan came to Zhengde with a smile and said, "Return to the emperor, the three shells have been fired."

"Then fire three more shots." Before Yu Chuan could finish speaking, Zhengde had already stopped him and ordered coldly.

When he heard that Zhengde was going to fire three rounds, Yu Chuan's face suddenly changed slightly. His family knew what kind of goods he had. If he fired six rounds, even if the shells didn't explode, the gun body would still be scalded by heat. It has changed shape, and a discerning person will know it at a glance.

Until this moment, Yu Chuan finally started to murmur in his heart, the emperor seemed to have some purpose in coming here, could it be that his cutting corners was discovered and stabbed in front of the emperor?

But I have been doing it relatively covertly, and how did the emperor know?

Looking at the expressionless Zhengde, Yu Chuan couldn't procrastinate any longer, he could only pray that the cannon would give him some strength, and don't explode at this time.

Chapter 1153 Delegating power to him

'Boom', after another cannon shot, Yu Chuan's tense mood finally got a bit of relaxation. There are still two cannonballs left. As long as he survives these two cannonballs, he will transfer Long Live Lord's interest to other places no matter what. Even if it is to let him see where he hides his money, he will not hesitate.

Better to lose money than to lose life.

The people present, except for He Jia'an, the rest didn't know what kind of madness the emperor had gone. He didn't wait in the leopard room, he had to come out to watch the cannon fire. Could it be that the sound was really so nice?

However, considering the usual behavior of Long Live Lord, this is really not too outrageous. Just when everyone was about to leave after listening to these cannonballs, the person who fired the cannon over there had already put a new sub-gun into the cannon Among them, someone then ignited the powder twist on the powder bag, and when the sparks penetrated into the stomach of the cannon, the expected sound was not remembered for a long time.

Just when everyone was curious about what happened to the artillery, suddenly a huge explosion sounded not far away. The sound was so sudden that it probably shocked everyone. Thinking of the power of the artillery, he hurriedly fell to the ground.

The moment the explosion sounded, He Jia'an was already prepared. When he realized that the situation was wrong, he immediately stood in front of Zhengde and quickly pushed him into the crowd.

Really fried.

Sure enough, just like what He Jiaan said, there is indeed something wrong with the artillery. When the sound of the explosion ended, Zhengde ignored the embarrassment on his face, pushed away the people around him, and quickly looked around. When he found Yu Chuan At that moment, I immediately rushed up, grabbed Yu Chuan's collar with both hands, stared at him with wide eyes and cursed: "You dog slave, all the money is on me, don't you today! Explain the matter to me clearly, and I will kill your nine clans."

The moment the cannon exploded, Yu Chuan knew in his heart that he must be doomed this time, but even so, there was still a little luck in his heart, maybe Long Live Lord only regarded this as an accident.

But when Zhengde grabbed his collar, all the luck in Yu Chuan's heart was shattered at that moment. He already understood that Long Live Lord didn't come here on a sudden idea. Some people must have passed the news to Long Live Lord. ear, that's why he came.

Although I don't know who this person is, I don't want to know now. I intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Zhang Yong's face not far away, and said dejectedly: "Long live Lord, please forgive me, it's all the slave's fault."

Zhengde was so angry that his face became disfigured, he glared at Yu Chuan and cursed: "These cannons are all used to protect the Daming country, can you solve it with a sentence of your own fault? Come on."

"Yes." The pro-army on both sides hurried forward.
