Chapter 966 The autumn scenery is getting deep

The scenery of the capital with the autumn wind blowing is still colorful.

Outside the Nanchu Iron Factory in the outer city, there are many ginkgo trees planted, with golden leaves and classical houses shining in the sun, as if a layer of streamer was shrouded in the sun.

The weeping willows by the river and the ripples on the water surface sway in a soft posture.

However, Ma Xingguang's yard was still dead and he could not see every grass or tree.

Today it was lively because Emperor Zhu Gaoxu was here again, and there were many ministers and nobles, as well as Jinyiwei and court attendants.

This is the second time that Zhu Gaoxu personally inspected the Southern Administration this year. He attached great importance to the improvement of the Beijing camp's military and placed high hopes.

Ma Xingguang was talking with something in front of everyone. When he forged the gun barrel, the outer layer was forged into a hexagonal shape.At first glance, it looks like a round tube, and you can see that it is a hexagonal shape with a little attention. Please check it.

Zhu Gaoxu sat next to him, without saying a word, just nodded.

So Ma Xingguang picked up two castings and put them on the gun barrel. The two things were also skillfully cast, just hooked on the gun barrel.

The docking area is thinner, but it is complete when put together, just like the shape of a nut; there is also a convex mechanism at the bottom, probably riveted to it.

There are holes pierced at the two splicing points.

Then Ma Xingguang picked up the tongs, picked up a red copper strip from the stove, and said to himself, "It's just right."He put the copper bar into the butt hole, then put an iron bar into the barrel, took a small hammer, and began to carefully hit the burning copper bar.

The copper bar quickly stabilized the splicing area like a rivet.

Ma Xingguang used the same trick again and fixed the other place with copper nails.

He was concentrating on his work and he didn't talk much later, but he wasn't very good at speaking.

Ma Xingguang picked up a sharp knife with double-edged and blood-trough.

The sharp knife should be made of a whole iron rod, with a slender body and the back half of it is an iron rod; the iron rod is equipped with a wooden handle.

He put the handle of the knife on the mechanism under the barrel, stood up the musket, and then picked up the hammer and knocked it for a while.

The sharp knife slowly stumbled into the mechanism under the iron hoop and the wooden hole at the rear.

It looks very solid.

Zhu Gaoxu took the musket with great interest, reached out and shaved it gently, and tried to find it very strong.

However, there are pig iron parts on it, and the strength and thickness of the material limit the strength. Zhu Gaoxu said: It is still easy to break, but it can be used twice.

A nobleman next to him said: Ordinary soldiers come to the battlefield to catch the enemy, and killing one or two of them is considered brave.

Officials from the Ministry of War said: The infantry in the front row can be equipped with a waist knife.

At this time, Mao Kaishan, a bachelor of the Fake Academy, said: It is better to use a gun, the wooden pole is always lighter than an iron knife.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded immediately and said: It makes sense, but practicality is more important.

Another person behind him said: It is not easy to make Xingguang guns, and they are used as spears, and the iron gun barrels are easily damaged, which is a pity.

Zhu Gaoxu turned around and said: War is about fighting for national strength. If you don’t have money or create capabilities, what kind of war can you fight?

Everyone watched and discussed for a while before leaving the workshop.After Zhu Gaoxu walked out, he found that there was a lot of carbon ash on his robe, which made him look dirty.

So everyone came to the courtyard where the southern office was hosting guests on the Qinhuai River. Most of them sat and rested in the living room. Zhu Gaoxu went to a room to tidy up his clothes.

After a while, Xue Yan, the Minister of Justice, asked for an order to come in.

The eunuch Cao Fu was holding Zhu Gaoxu's black hat and gently brushing away the ashes from his body with a piece of silk.Xue Yan hurriedly walked up and helped Cao Fu hold his black hat.

The emperor clearly stated that when I arrived at the Liaodong Dusi, how should I check?Xue Yan asked softly.

The court had determined the candidate a while ago, and Xue Yan would go north to handle the work, including investigating the crimes of the generals of the Liaodong Metropolitan Commander and presiding over the situation in Beijing.

Zhu Gaoxu reached out to take the hat, put it on again, straightened it out, and said in our living room.

When the three of them walked into the living room from the eaves, all the civil and military officials stood up and bent down to greet Zhu Gaoxu.Zhu Gaoxu waved his sleeves and said: Find a place to sit.

Thank you for your kindness.Everyone bowed.

Zhu Gaoxu sat down on the chair of the superior throne, picked up the teacup next to him and took a sip, then said directly: Liaodong is very cold, I only stayed last year.It’s too late to start winter this year, and the war should be launched after spring next year.However, Xuebutang and the soldiers of the Jing camp can leave for a while and go to Liaodong to spend the winter. Next year, after the firearms and supplies are transported to Liaodong by sea, they will deploy the battle.

Wang Bin and others worshiped: The wise man.

Zhu Gaoxu was silent for a while, looked at Xue Yan, and said with some emotion: If you missed some opportunities, you will missed them.Opportunities for the general trend, opportunities for the country.

Xue Yan and others were pondering.

Zhu Gaoxu took a breath and then said: I have governed the border troops to enrich the country and strengthen the army.Those who are stubborn and harm the country will harm the public with their own personal harm and ignore the overall situation. Even if they are a mantis armed with a chariot, they will die!

The living room suddenly became very quiet, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little nervous.

Zhu Gaoxu then calmed down his tone and said kindly: However, Shangshu Xue must not let the criminals involve themselves randomly and harm the innocent.The culprit must have real evidence and be sure to harm the overall situation.Some people who are trapped and impolite with the flow, as long as they are still loyal and willing to be loyal to the country, they will give them the opportunity to kill the enemy, or die on the battlefield, to protect their reputations and make up for their mistakes.Those who have a repentance should also try to give their life as much as possible. Nuergandusi and other places have always been short of people.Our Ming Dynasty court should use all its talents and clean up the stalls at home so that it can dominate the world and exert its power.

Everyone came to their senses and called Emperor Divine Martial Arts one after another.

Zhu Gaoxu said: We do not need to be merciful and ruthless for those who are determined to oppose the court for their own selfishness.However, we have to tolerate forgetting other things and have nothing to do with the overall situation of the country, otherwise it will make people feel that the day is in danger. Should everyone live their lives?

There was nothing else. Wang Bin, who had no problem, immediately laughed out loud and let out a few hehes.

However, many officials present couldn't laugh. Some of them surrendered from the Jianwen Dynasty and Hong Xi Dynasty. They have been very good at officials, but they are inevitably a little scared.

Xue Yan bowed and said, "The emperor is as broad as the sea, and is very generous and generous. I am very lucky."All the civil and military officials agreed, and many of them were sincerely complimenting Zhu Gaoxu.

After Zhu Gaoxu said that, he stood up, everyone had a tea break, and then returned to the city later.

He walked to the door of the living room and heard the voices of everyone, saying: I am honored to see the emperor.

Zhu Gaoxu walked through a corridor and came to a foyer, and raised his hand to signal.Cao Fu asked the people who accompanied him to stop and waited on the spot.Then Zhu Gaoxu and Cao Fu walked into the hall.

Cao Fu rushed over and whispered: Zhang Sheng and a few others have prepared their cars, and the emperor can go out after changing his clothes.I have arranged everything here.

Very good.Zhu Gaoxu said.

Zhu Gaoxu went out to wander out of privately from time to time, and sometimes the ministers would know.But Zhu Gaoxu didn't get in and didn't listen to the ministers' advice, and everyone couldn't do anything about him.

Several men in a civilian dress protected the carriage and left the Nanshu Iron Factory.After walking out of the workshop area, the noise inside was constantly coming, and soon the sound of gunfire on the school ground in the distance came into Zhu Gaoxu's ears one after another.

The drills in the Beijing camp have been very frequent recently. The officials and civilians in the capital can guess that the court is going to use troops again.

However, the large-scale military operation has been too heavy and has never been kept secret, so Zhu Gaoxu did not intend to conceal it deliberately.

The place where the group went was the place where Yàn Quehu Mansion and Enhui lived.Zhu Gaoxu will go with her for a while whenever he has the chance.

When I got to the mansion with a familiarity, I arrived at the inner house, and the followers around the carriage were no longer followed, and there were fewer and fewer people.After Zhu Gaoxu got off the carriage, Cao Fu also left, and the huge yard became more and more purified.

The favor of wearing a light-colored double-breasted white dress was waiting by the corridor. She squatted gently and made a happy fortune, and her courtesy posture was still gentle and elegant.

Zhu Gaoxu stepped forward and grabbed her hand and helped her up.

Enhui gently pulled her hand back and lowered her head and said, "Please, Master."Even though the two were already familiar with each other and there was no slave here, she was still very reserved and seemed not used to being intimate in broad daylight.

It's a bit noisy this time.Zhu Gaoxu looked up at the direction of Hongwu Gate. Did the sound of guns not disturb the purity of the grace?

Enhui said: It sounds lively. As soon as I heard that voice, I would think of the Lord, guessing that you were doing something big again... She stopped quickly and looked up at him a little embarrassedly.

After a while, she suddenly sighed softly.Zhu Gaoxu turned around and asked, what's wrong?

Enhui said: Do Gao Xu know what I admire most about you?

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head.

Enhui said softly: There may be many people who have wrongly accused you and harmed your brother and nephew. I think you don’t care at all, as if you don’t care about your reputation at all?

Just know that I'm not that kind of person.Zhu Gaoxu said, "What do others think and think, the country was shot down by the emperor's ancestors and fathers, and my country was also attacked from Yunnan. So what if I say that my morality is corrupt?If you have the ability to lead the troops to rob me.

When Zhu Gaoxu said this, he remembered that Jianwen had issued an order to kill his uncle Zhu Di, but he spoke in a vague manner, and then said calmly: I think only people with status care about their image, there is nothing we can do about it.

He realized after he said that this sentence might arouse Enhui's unhappiness and sadness.

Unexpectedly, she was silent for a while, but said: You, I sometimes feel a little worried about you.

Zhu Gaoxu was a little happy and said kindly: I was just joking just now, but it wasn't that true, Enhui doesn't have to worry.

The two of them talked and walked, and there were very familiar scenes around them.Zhu Gaoxu came to his senses and thought that the yard he chose would become so friendly in time.
