I'm really not the carpenter emperor

It is worrying whether he can win the title!

Not long after, Zhu Youxiao arrived at the Martial Arts Field on horseback, and the surroundings quickly quieted down. He knelt down and shouted, "Long live Your Majesty——"

Amidst the sound of mountains and tsunami waves, Zhu Youxiao rode into the martial arts arena, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and then sat on the high platform, indicating that the ceremony officer could continue.

The ceremonial officer got up immediately and read out the imperial edict seriously. Since the dawn of time, the first martial arts performance based on the examination and inheritance of the royal clan's children has officially begun.

However, there seems to be something unusual about this assessment.

Zhu Youxiao nodded to the surroundings, and Chen Ce, the governor of the Yongwei Battalion, stood at the front desk, casually nodded to one of his generals, and said:

"Dear royal family members, Your Majesty wants to test your abilities. This is an ordinary general in the Yongwei Battalion. Whoever can beat him in boxing will be able to inherit Juelu."

"Is anyone willing to come up and try?"

Hearing this, a group of royal clan children looked at each other in blank dismay.

Everyone knows the harsh enrollment expansion conditions of the Yongwei Battalion, not to mention that this is a general with military exploits.

This dark complexion, tightly clenched fists, not tall and not big, looks ugly, obviously he should be a ruthless character.

In a short time, he can't be the general manager of the Yongwei Battalion.

"Who is there?" Chen Ce shouted again, but there was silence around him, not a single clan member dared to stand up to challenge.

Zhu Youxiao sneered from the bottom of his heart, there were at least a hundred thousand clan members and children in the audience, and they were all idiots. It was really a waste of money to support these people, and it was useless.

With this money, how many more elite soldiers can be supported by the court, how many warships and firearms can be built, and how many people can be fed?

Just as I thought of this, there was a commotion below.

A clan disciple raised his hand, walked out of the crowd, cupped his fists upwards and said, "Your Majesty, Fengguo Lieutenant Zhu Shen, is willing to give it a try."

Zhu Youxiao looked over and found that Zhu Shen had a disheveled look on his face.

Although his words seemed lacking in confidence, at least he was much better than those potbellied princes who shrank back and sneered.

"In this case, you go up." Zhu Youxiao nodded, and then told Chen Ce: "Just click, don't hurt my relatives."

Chen Ce immediately turned around and said loudly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, this kid is smart and won't hurt Lieutenant Fengguo at all."

Chapter 813 Acting

"Hey!"

The two fought for a few times, the general of the Yongwei Battalion shouted loudly, and threw Fengguo Lieutenant Zhu Shen to the ground on his back, it was less than a cup of tea before they fought.

Zhu Shen looked a little annoyed, jumped up, cursed something, then rushed towards the boss, yelling.

But the boss crossed his legs and clenched his fists, standing in place without moving.

Obviously, in his eyes, the clan disciple on the opposite side has already lost, and it is meaningless to continue the competition, and it will make the other party even more annoyed.

Chen Ce looked at the boss, and finally felt relieved. The first match was over, which was considered to save some face for the clan, but his eyes moved slightly, and he winked over.

Take the total understanding, without saying a word.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting on it, had a rather displeased face, and he stopped and said, "Okay, Zhu Shen, if you were on the battlefield just now, you wouldn't be able to stand up."

When Zhu Shen was called out like this, he immediately stopped red-headed, remembering that he was competing in front of the imperial court, and said in a muffled voice: "This brother from the Yongwei Camp has excellent fists and kicks, I lost."

"Well, step back." Zhu Youxiao then glanced at Chen Ce, and said again: "Don't hold back, I want to let these relatives see it."

Chen Ce naturally understood that if he really refused to keep his hand, why bother to order it again.

In fact, even if Zhu Youxiao didn't remind him, Chen Ce knew that the clan should win. After all, this group of people belonged to the Zhu family, the largest clan in the world.

If on the day of the martial arts arena, with all kinds of people watching, the emperor's face would be embarrassing if the clan's children were beaten to pieces.

He responded, went down and said in a low voice to the boss: "Be careful with your actions, don't let the clan members who came up lose too badly, and don't overact."

The boss was a little embarrassed, hesitated for a while, and nodded.

It's not that he doesn't want to act, even if he's just a small boss, he fully understands the matter of giving face to the clan's children.

It's just that the people he killed with his military exploits along the way will be a straight man of steel in future generations, and he has never lost a battle, because if he loses on the battlefield, his life is gone.

But this time, not only did he have to lose, but he also lost beautifully. He had never done this before!

"Your Majesty, I would like to have a try with this brother from the Yongwei Camp!" Suddenly, another person stood up from the crowd of clan members who had been buzzing for a long time.

Zhu Youxiao lowered his eyebrows and found that it was Zhu Yipai, the third son of Lu Wang Zhu Shouyong, who was not yet of age, so he had no title.

At present, the title of King Lu basically has nothing to do with him. In fact, there is no need for Zhu Yipai to come to this assessment, let alone stand up for the competition.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao felt a little fond of him and signaled to start.

The second martial arts competition started, Zhu Yihai got permission, and then walked out of the team, kowtowed to Zhu Youxiao who was sitting on it, then stood up, took a few steps back, turned around, and faced the commander of the Yongwei Battalion total.

Lu King Zhu Shouyong and other clansmen of the Lu King line were all pointing and pointing here. Zhu Shouyong always disliked this third son, not only did not encourage him, but sneered and said:

"This king doesn't want him to go, but he insists on asking for trouble, which is really embarrassing to my Lu Palace! When I get back to the palace, let's see what I will do with him!"

Zhu Yipai listened to the laughter of his relatives behind him, and focused his eyes on the brave guard commander who had experienced many battles in front of him.

President Ba was also looking at Zhu Yipai, and shook his head secretly.

This son of the clan was neither tall nor strong, and although he didn't have the feeling of being weak like others, he probably couldn't withstand his full-strength punch.

But if you just beat him to the ground like this, it would really be too embarrassing for the emperor. Anyway, the relatives of the royal family still have to act.

In the eyes of everyone, the two began to circle slowly on the red carpet at a distance, seeming to be accumulating energy.

In fact, he was always thinking about how much he could use to bring Zhu Yipai down, and it wasn't too fake for the people around him to see it.

Zhu Youxiao was also staring down. Although he said that the clan's children were nothing, he still hoped in his heart that there would be such a few people who would stand up and have some skills.

Suddenly, the handlebars moved.

He roared like a fierce tiger, soared into the sky, and rushed towards Zhu Yipai with the momentum of Mount Tai.

No one expected that the moment Zhu Yipai was about to kick the president over, he dodged to the side extremely nimbly, and the speed of the movement surprised even the president.

Ba always knew that although he had lost most of his strength in the kick just now, it was not something ordinary people could dodge at will.

Obviously, he underestimated this seemingly ordinary son of the clan.

Zhu Yipai had obviously practiced, or learned a little boxing kung fu. Thinking of this, the boss was stunned, but his eyes suddenly went dark.

When he was thinking about how to make a move next, Zhu Yipai would not give him this opportunity to calmly think about it, and rushed over with a punch.

Blocking the general instinct, after blocking it, he took a few steps backwards, and actually felt in his heart that this son of the clan might be a little too serious.

At this moment, Zhu Yipai's fists and kicks came like raindrops again.

In the eyes of everyone, the general manager of the Yongwei Battalion was beaten so helplessly by the clan's disciples that he was kicked away by Zhu Yihai in shock, and he lay heavily on the ground, motionless. .

"Won?"

"Zhu Yipai won!"

King Lu Zhu Shouyong's eyes widened, he was stunned for a while, unable to speak, and after a long time, he murmured, "This kid actually has this kind of ability."

The concubine Wang said: "Yes, my lord, Your Highness the Third Highness has given Lu Fan a good face this time, and your Majesty may also reward him."

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Youxiao laughed loudly and said:

"Zhu Yipai did a good job, and the emperor's uncle taught his son well. Look, this kind of clan is what I need, and what Daming needs."

"Zhu Yipai listens to the order!"

Zhu Yipai was still intoxicated in the joy of victory, but when he heard the words, he suddenly became alarmed, and quickly knelt down on the ground, saying: "My minister Zhu Yipai is here!"

Zhu Youjiao sat down in distress and said:

"You still have two years until you reach the age of adulthood. I am in a good mood today, so I will make it for you to be crowned King Taixing in the future."

Zhu Yipai was overjoyed, and quickly said: "My minister, Zhu Yipai, thanked the emperor for his kindness. In the future, he will be loyal to His Majesty and do his best for Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Youxiao was very satisfied. Firstly, the acting was so clever that ordinary people couldn't see it, but the defeat was too straightforward.

The main reason was Zhu Yipai's first flash, even Zhu Youxiao didn't expect him to be able to dodge it, after that flash, the rest of the counterattack seemed to be a matter of course.

These two martial arts competitions can be regarded as the experience of many clan disciples.

How weak most of them are, and there are indeed some of them who can complete the assessment and get Juelu.

What's more, it's much easier to be judged and judged than to defeat the general of the Yongwei Battalion.

Chapter 814 Line Tactics

The assessment lasted for three and a half days, and Zhu Youxiao also attended the three and a half days. The reason why he did this was to show that he attached great importance to the reform of clan inheritance.

The three guards of Tongzhou returned to the guards in batches to garrison. Under the tight precautions, it seemed that everyone knew that the imperial court attached great importance to the assessment, and there was no disturbance.

The clan assessment in the sixth year of Apocalypse has become a topic of discussion for many people.

Zhu Youxiao changed out of his military uniform and just returned to the gate of Qianqing Palace. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw Wei Zhongxian waiting in front of the gate.

Zhu Youxiao glanced up, walked straight into the Nine Dragon Throne in Xinuang Pavilion and sat down on his buttocks, he said angrily:

"Zhongxian, what happened again?"

Wei Zhongxian squinted his eyes and smiled, "Master, this time is a good thing. The Khan Shuolei of the Chechen Ministry accepted His Majesty's reward, and under the persuasion of the Caliph, he expelled the envoy of the Raksha Kingdom."

"This is God Bless Daming, ancestor Tokuzawamoto..."

"Okay, don't say flattery, I'm not in the mood today." Zhu Youxiao laughed at himself, "If God bless Daming, what do you want me to do?"

Wei Zhongxian nodded repeatedly, claiming to understand what Tian Qi said.

It's a pity that he is not a time traveler after all, and he will never understand the other meaning of the words. In this world, there will be no second person who will know.

"Caliph..." Zhu Youxiao thought for a while before murmuring:

"If I remember correctly, he is the Caliph, the son of Horqin Chief Oba who came to me a few months ago to ask for pardon, and is now Horqin's Khan?"

"Korqin's Liaodong Army, which even gave me his headquarters, was wiped out. Now it is the place where Saibei and other troops stationed pastures. He really made it?"

Wei Zhongxian's brows widened, "Yes, my lord, the old servant didn't take it seriously at all, but I didn't expect that this caliph really has some skills."

"Hmph, he has eyesight." Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly, "At least he's better than his father who didn't live up to expectations. If that's the case, it can be regarded as his meritorious service and atonement."

"Pass down my decree, forgive the caliph's son Wengele and his daughter Yuzhe and the Horqin people for their sins, and rush to Fuyuwei in the north of Saibei to be a pastor."

"Give the Horqin people a place to settle down, and ask Wengle to lead them, and never think about going back to Horqin, and be ruled by Uziyet, King Zaisai of Fuyu."

Wei Zhongxian nodded, but did not leave yet.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at him and asked, "Why, do you still have good things to report?"

"Nothing can be hidden from His Majesty's eyes." Wei Zhongxian smiled immediately, stepped forward flatteringly, and said, "It's about the Navy Division. The first batch of utensils purchased by the Armament Division from the sea has arrived, and we can start making them." Paper casings."

"This is Bi Maoliang's memorial, please read it."

With that said, Wei Zhongxian handed over a notebook, Zhu Youxiao took it in his hand, and said with a smile: "This is still good news, let me take a look."

With that said, he opened the book.

Bi Maoliang said in the memorial that since the beginning of the year, the Ordnance Division has been studying the technology of the paper shell casings that the Spaniards called, and until now, it has finally been thoroughly understood.

Although the current birdcracks have used the sudden-firing technology, they are still front-loading guns, and gunpowder is added from the muzzle, and then loaded into the bullet of the lead bullet. The operation is slow and the amount of charge each time is uncertain, so shooting The effect is also unstable.

Bi Maokang, the ambassador of the Armament Department, is a weapon expert himself, so he naturally understands that quantitative charging is nothing more than an effective way to solve this problem.

In this era, Ming did not have such advanced processing technology as it is now, but the instruments purchased from Spain, as well as the chief Spanish royal technician John of the Bogarao Cannon Factory, helped them overcome this difficulty.

In order to speed up the loading speed and keep the amount of medicine constant, it is imperative to implement paper eggshells in the Ming army.

For those engaged in the military industry, this is another reform for them.

Under the vision of the Ordnance Department, instruments purchased in the West can be used to roll hard paper into a tube, fill it with gunpowder, and then fill it with warheads.

In this way, the warhead and gunpowder are loaded into the paper shell together, and a paper projectile that can be directly fired after being filled in the front muzzle can be produced.

If it can be successfully applied on the battlefield, soldiers only need to carry paper projectiles with them before combat, fill them with bird guns during combat, and then ignite and fire them.

This greatly saves the steps of reloading and changing the medicine, indirectly increases the shooting speed, and is almost not affected by the weather.

Zhu Youxiao didn't know how to make these things, but he knew that firearms should be developed non-stop, and the funds were never less.

Moreover, the Military Weapons Department recruits talents from all over the world who are willing to study firearms. Except for the first "second bi", Bi Maokang and Bi Maoliang brothers, there are already a lot of people in one place.

So far, there are more than 120 senior technicians in the Armament Division. These people are well-known craftsmen in local craftsmen, and were later absorbed into the Armament Division to serve the country.
