Domineering Daming

This is also a help, Fang Kongzhang is able to bend and stretch, immediately walked a few steps, and said with a loud smile: "My lords, please, let's talk in detail, come and serve tea..."

Wang Beicheng nodded imperceptibly, as long as Fang Kongzhang needed him, then his Wang family would be able to keep him.

Everyone else has the same thoughts, they are old and sophisticated, they see through the world, and they all want to keep everything in their family.

Fang Kongxuan had just led the people in, before the tea was served, the guard came to report again: "My lord, Mr. Xu has arrived."

Everyone in the room had already put on a smile, and was ready to be polite. They were all taken aback when they heard this, and then smiled even more.

Fang Kongzheng was the one with the most joy, and hurriedly said loudly: "Please, no, I will go to greet you in person..."

Wang Beicheng already understood who this "Master Xu" was—Xu Jie, who was transferred from the cabinet secretary!

Although this person is transferred, no one knows that this is an "imperial envoy" of the cabinet with a heavy responsibility, who dares to underestimate it! ?

When Xu Jie was taken in, he looked dazed. The governor's office in Jiangsu was a little too enthusiastic, and he had been shut down by the prefect of Suzhou several times in Suzhou.

He was also used to seeing the ups and downs of the officialdom, so he quickly figured out the way, and stood aside with Fang Kongxuan calmly.

The arrival of Xu Jie greatly boosted Fang Kongxuan's confidence. After sending Wang Beicheng and others away, he discussed the "New Deal Plan" with Xu Jie behind closed doors, and let the outside world stir up trouble.

The most proud thing now is the Hui Gang. Seeing that the entire Shuntian Mansion has begun to "quiet", it seems that they have seen the court compromise and continue to let them occupy the Yanzheng, and even go further.

The other merchants who were coerced by the salt merchants were all nervous at the moment, and they were all looking forward to it. It would be the best if they could return to the Apocalypse Year!

And like a hungry tiger, the Wu family, which was quietly hiding behind, was still terribly quiet at this moment, without any sound, the door was closed tightly, and no one came in or out.

Zhu Xu's carriage drove directly into the Jiangsu standing army barracks, and a group of leaders were already waiting.

"Minister Cao Wenzhao (Wu Xiang, Yang Zhaoji) see my emperor, long live my emperor!"

Just as Zhu Xu got off the carriage, Cao Wenzhao, Wu Xiang, and Yang Zhaoji knelt down on one knee and shouted loudly.

Zhu Xu condescendingly looked over, there were not three people, there were more than ten generals from various ministries, all kneeling on the ground.He smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "Excuse me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

A group of people shouted loudly, then stood together, bowed slightly, lowered their heads, waiting for the emperor to speak.

In fact, none of them encountered such a situation. The emperor of Ming Dynasty never left the palace.

With his hands behind his back, Zhu Xu looked at these people. They were all the mainstay of Daming, and none of them made him dissatisfied. He said politely: "There is no need to be formal. Don't be like those adults outside. I didn't come to look for you. Troublesome, relax and be natural."

No one moved, but some people felt that the emperor was not as scary as in the legend, at least his tone was very gentle.

Cao Wenzhao glanced at the two people beside him, and in order not to stand coldly, he had to say with a smile: "Your Majesty, everything is ready, why don't you watch the military exercise first?"

Zhu Xu smiled, and said: "It's still you, old Cao, who understand me well. Well, I don't want to be polite and talk nonsense. Just show what I have. Okay, let's watch the military exercise first."

Yang Zhaoji and Wu Xiang quietly looked at each other, and breathed a sigh of relief, they had been worried all the time, for fear that the emperor would come to "purge".

Surrounded by Zhu Xu, he walked towards the center of the camp, where there was a tall watchtower.

Cao Wenzhao followed Zhu Xu, and introduced with an eager face: "Your Majesty, the three armies of Shandong, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu have all assembled. There are nearly [-] troops. They have already practiced yesterday, and they can start military exercises at any time..."

Zhu Xu nodded his head from time to time as he listened, and looked around the camp.Concrete roads, concrete pillars, and concrete floors are full of concrete creations. The entrance looks like a fortress, which is quite unbreakable.

"what!"

"drink!"

Not far away, a group of soldiers brandished long knives and slashed at the dummy fiercely.

After walking a few more steps, I saw a group of soldiers holding black iron guns and shooting at a target a hundred meters away.

When Zhu Xu saw it, he couldn't help but stop.

The transition from cold weapons to hot weapons, among which "gun" is a very important symbol, if a relatively advanced musket can be designed, the world at this time will not be as simple as occupying a small island, it can completely flow across!

But soon Zhu Xu shook his head secretly. Although many problems have been improved, he still doesn't have the ability to sweep in field battles.

When Cao Wenzhao saw it, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the range of this Polu gun has been greatly increased. When combined with cannons, it is very effective in defending the city and attacking the city, especially the attack on the island."

Zhu Xu was startled, and said, "You mean attacking the island?"

Cao Wenzhao said: "Yes, I waited for the military exercise in turn, and at most half an hour can destroy a fortress! Even if it is a mountain and sea on the sea, the pass will not last long."

Zhu Xu squinted his eyes, this was beyond his expectation, he couldn't help being in a good mood, and said, "Okay, get ready, I'll watch the military exercise first."

"Yes!" Cao Wenzhao was overjoyed.He has been preparing for a long time.

Chapter 683

A group of people from Zhu Xu came to the watchtower. Everyone on the tower held a telescope in their hands and stared at a flat concrete road not far below the tower.

Cao Wenzhao said: "Your Majesty, this military exercise is based on the one I performed at the base of the Firearms Bureau, but it is more grand."

Zhu Xu looked forward to it, looked back at the crowd, and said with a smile: "I can't wait to talk about it, let's start."

"According to the order!"

Cao Wenzhao looked serious, and then made a gesture to another watchtower not far away.

The flag above made the soldiers turn around violently, wave the flag vigorously, and make a rustling sound.

Boom boom boom!

At the same time, the sound of huge drums on both sides seemed to shake the entire camp.

"Definitely!"

From Zhu Xu's left side, three chariots were pulled by nine white horses. There were soldiers beating drums on the chariots, rumbling across slowly.

Behind them, there are 300 shield soldiers in a phalanx, squatting slightly, leaning forward, wearing a helmet, holding a shield in their right hand, and a knife in their left hand, stepping neatly, stepping forward slowly.

Then came the archers, carrying heavy bows and arrows on their backs, with black iron eggs on their waists, with their left hands across the sword, their waists straight, and their expressions dignified, following behind the shield soldiers.

Zhu Xu's blood was surging as he looked at them. These are already in good shape, completely different from the miscellaneous names before he ascended the throne.

Cao Wenzhao and the others didn't speak. They had already seen it once, but they still couldn't help being excited.

The most thorough and obvious change in Ming Dynasty is the army. Hesitant that the army can use iron and blood methods without any scruples, which is much simpler than government affairs.

And now these are just for the emperor to check first. The real military exercise is an army of 10 people!

After the bow and arrow, came the spearmen, then the infantry, and finally the artillery.

The artillerymen use bullock carts to pull huge cannons through slowly. There are a total of fifty guns, each of which is huge and heavy, and the black hole of the muzzle is daunting.
