Zhu Youxiao is very leisurely now.

After returning from the Tiangong Research Institute, he issued an order to move the entire institute back. As a place for research purposes, there is no point in staying at the military industrial base in the western suburbs. It is better to put it in the city.

, once protected, and more importantly, staying in the city is more convenient and easier to carry out research.

After coming back, he wrote down some of his understanding of molecules and atoms, as well as his plan for the construction of Chinese standards, including various length regulations, specifications of various measuring tools, ore specimens, material tests, steel divisions, etc.

I wrote down everything I thought was useful. To be precise, I read it out. The person who wrote it was Liu Ruoyu.

Precisely because he did not have to write it himself, these things covered a wider range of topics, were more complex, and were larger in quantity. Anyway, Zhu Youxiao read them when he had time, and then sent them to Xu Guangqi for their study after he finished them.

Xu Guangqi and his two students, Song Yingxing and Sun Yuanhua, also stayed there together, studying, researching and experimenting eagerly.

Technical matters are left to Xu Guangqi, and he feels at ease. As for government affairs, the cabinet is also taking care of them. Now the rectification has not been completed. In addition to handling daily general affairs, the biggest one is the restructuring of Hebei Province. If these are not enough, we will gradually get on the right track.

, he doesn’t need to worry too much.

As for the military, the officers who came from the Yulin Army are gradually growing up. Now these things are also training them to accelerate their growth. Zhu Youxiao will not interfere even more. For a while, in addition to writing books...

....If writing by mouth counts as writing, he has nothing wrong with him.

This made the young emperor, who had been extremely busy since he ascended the throne, panic for a while, but he was unwilling to let him participate in the daily affairs. And the exercises he got from Zhang Xianyong were only to adjust the breath in the morning and evening, which could not be done in one day.

Come and practice.

This kind of leisurely life that is rare for ordinary people made him a little unbearable. In desperation, he had no choice but to read the Empire Daily to relieve his boredom.

"What is written here is nothing. They are all official articles. They are either welfare announcements for conscription, the smooth restructuring of Hebei Province, or they are praising my war. There are no new current events at all." However, after flipping through the newspaper, Zhu

Youxiao's mood got even worse. There was no change at all in the successive issues of the newspaper. Except for some interpretations of government decrees for the world, they were just old announcements. It looked like they didn't look like newspapers at all.

"It seems that I need an editor-in-chief, an editor-in-chief with innovative ability." Zhu Youxiao thought silently. He thought of the reporter system at this moment, but if he wants to implement this system and make the newspaper truly run, he needs someone with experience.

A capable person, a person who is not afraid of power and dares to fight against anyone.

"Just him!" After much deliberation, Zhu Youxiao finally thought of only one person, the person who performed quite eye-catchingly in the Hongwan case, Yang Lian.

"Ruoyu, go and send Yang Lian to me." Zhu Youxiao ordered. He is a man of action. He will do whatever comes to his mind and he will do it today. It will be finalized today.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Liu Ruoyu responded and turned around to go out.

However, after a while, he hurriedly walked in and reported loudly, "Your Majesty, Luo Sigong, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, and Wei Zhongxian, the governor of the East Factory, are asking for an audience."

After the report, he couldn't help but whisper, "Your Majesty, they look very anxious."

"Let them come in." Zhu Youxiao was very puzzled. He didn't know what it meant that these two people came together. Could it be that there was news about things in the south?

"See Your Majesty." The two of them bowed in unison as soon as they came in. After the salute, Luo Sigong shouted loudly before he could get up, "Your Majesty, something serious is going on. The Nanjing Jinyi Guards Qianhu Station is in urgent need of 800 miles. The Navy

The fleet was attacked in Ningbo Port and all the warships were burned."

"What?" The sudden news made Zhu Youxiao stand up from his chair immediately and couldn't help but ask again, "What's going on?"

"Your Majesty, according to the messenger pigeon message from Dongchang, Navy Admiral Yu, the entire fleet entered Ningbo Port on the morning of May 14th. However, the bandits from the southeast had already laid an ambush. As soon as General Yu entered the port, they blocked the road with fire ships.

Twenty huge fireships blocked the entire port, leaving the fleet with no way to escape. All ships in the port, including the naval fleet, were burned."

"How could this happen?" Zhu Youxiao roared angrily. The shocking news made his eyes turn red in an instant, and he stared at the two of them angrily.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down." The two men quickly knelt down and begged the emperor not to get angry.

"Damn, really damned. Those losers from Jiangnan who all deserve to be executed actually colluded with bandits to ambush my fleet. They all deserve to die, ah!" The more Zhu Youxiao thought about it, the angrier he became, and he felt a ball of flame in his chest.

The intense burning made his eyes extremely red, and he just wanted to vent it out.

He is not a deep palace emperor who is ignorant of the world. He would even believe such ridiculous things as the sinking of a tanker in Dengzhou Port. But any port is a sheltered harbor. Such a harbor is small and easy to be blocked, so it is most important to pay attention to it.

For vigilance and observation, there is a guard station around Ningbo Port that takes on such responsibilities.

Yu Zigao's fleet entered the port during the day. How could it not be noticed in broad daylight that the bandit fleet was ambushing at sea? The only answer is that someone colluded with them to help conceal the situation, or even directly provided the location of the ambush, such as

Those health centers.

Zhu Youxiao figured out these things at once, and it was precisely because of this that he became even more angry. Why, exactly why, why were there always so many traitors?

Thinking about the endless stream of traitors and the countless leading parties in the history of the late Ming Dynasty, the flames in Zhu Youxiao's heart became even more intense. His angry roars kept echoing in the hall. In the end, he couldn't help it anymore and pulled out his waist.

He drew his long sword and slashed forward fiercely.

Click!

After a crisp sound, the table made of precious wood broke into two pieces, and the contents on it fell down, scattering all over the floor.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down." All the maids and eunuchs in the hall knelt down, and Liu Ruoyu and the two intelligence chiefs refused to listen to their advice.

"Liu Ruoyu, send an order to Li Yuyu, order all the troops and horses, I will lead the expedition personally!" Zhu Youxiao said coldly, returning the sword to its sheath. Underneath the cold words, there was uncontrollable rage and anger.

Murderous intent.

"The Lord cannot be angry and raise an army, and a general cannot be angry and go to war. Your Majesty builds Yulin and fights against the Jurchens. He has courage and ingenuity. I wonder if he doesn't know this sentence." A clear voice came.

Come, Zhu Youxiao looked up and saw Yang Lian walking in with her head held high.

"Your Majesty, please suspend your thunderous wrath and consider the matter of the imperial conquest in person." Faced with the emperor's stern eyes, he said unhurriedly. His calm attitude really cleared Zhu Youxiao's mind and restored some sense.

.

However, this was still not enough, and the anger in his heart was still burning.

"Yang Wenru, what, do you have any good suggestions?" Zhu Youxiao asked with a sneer on his lips.
