Chapter 52 Using Cannons

Monk Jingwu jumped back and dodged, saying: "Oh my god, the donor did not bring a monster, but a hammer!"

"Yeah, I didn't say what I brought~"

If you have anticipated that these enemies will come to cause trouble, this is a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain.

Monk Jingwu jumped back and dodged continuously, climbed up to a nearby house, clasped his hands and said, "Since the gifts given by those evil spirits are not there, I will leave so that I can take care of myself."

Wang Hongyu and Meng Biao laughed.

There's a big wave coming, can you still personally bring the self-ringing bell with you so that you can intercept it?

...

at the same time.

The retainer Wei Jinzhong sent to Wang Hongyu led 10 Sichuan troops to the capital in a low-key manner.

Along the way, Eunuch Wei had arranged manpower to eliminate hidden dangers.

This time it was Wang Hongyu and Meng Biao who diverted a large wave of enemies. Eunuch Wei's men and the Sichuan army escorted him to ring the bell and arrive safely outside the Meridian Gate.

Wang Hongyu had just finished solving the problem and met in front of the Meridian Gate.

"Haha, what a move to bring the tiger away from the mountain."

Meng Biao admired Wang Hongyu's wisdom and courage very much.

Wang Hongyu is very sober, and even has many shortcomings.

For example, that monk looked like a very skilled man specially invited by the enemy.

If he hadn't hidden a sledgehammer in his bag and said something to make him upset, he wouldn't have been able to escape so easily.

Next, face the danger with a smile and deal with the enemy calmly.

I have been near the capital for more than a month and have steadily advanced several goals, but I have also offended many powerful enemies.

First there were businessmen and officials selling illegal goods, then the Zhejiang Party and the hostile Xiong Tingbi, a group of people from the Southern Army, and now more people who were very hostile to the missionaries intervened.

If you want to do something, you will definitely offend others, but you have to learn to keep a low profile and cover up, so be more careful next time.

Currently, my martial arts skills are pretty good, but I must work hard to recover and improve.

At present, it almost all depends on one's own excellent physical fitness. If you don't have special training, you will probably suffer a big loss on the battlefield.

Once you understand your own shortcomings, there are still many things to do next.

An hour later, the delicate little self-ringing bell was sent back to Wanli, and Wang Hongyu was invited to Meishan again.

Wanli was naturally very happy. According to records, Wanli couldn't put it down after getting the little self-ringing bell, and usually took it with him wherever he went. Now he finally fixed it without losing face and letting the missionaries know about it.

Looking at Wan Li who smiled like a child, I felt that the longest reigning emperor in the Ming Dynasty was actually very lonely.

In this large harem, apart from Concubine Zheng, there is probably no one he truly trusts.

Wanli also asked him to briefly introduce the story. Of course Wang Hongyu did not dare to hide it and told the truth about the missionary's manipulation.

This not only repaired the clock, but also forced them to be more friendly to Ming Dynasty.

As for the subsequent obstruction, I will simply mention it in one sentence and cannot directly criticize it here.

"I probably know what happened. You did it quickly and well. Of course I will reward you heavily."

After listening to Wang Hongyu's narration of the entire process, Wanli didn't seem surprised at all, nor did he show any dissatisfaction with the blockers. It seemed that it was natural for them to take action.

This is quite subtle, or it could be said that Wanli already knew about this and knew it well.

"Before I give you the reward, I have some good news for you.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, Huang Kezuan, and the Chief of the Ministry of Punishment, Hong Chengchou, wrote letters respectively, confirming that the incident of Zhou Dunji, Zhang Shenwu and other Sichuan generals was indeed an unjust case. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, the matter will not be officially announced, but appropriate arrangements will be in place."

Emperor Wanli said this, which can be regarded as repaying the innocence of the eldest brother and the second brother.

Their positions will soon be restored from guerrilla to general.

Wang Hongyu felt that Wanli's move was safer.

Wanli also said: "Your investigation will continue. Both I and King Fu want the assassin and the main messenger to pay the due price."

Second brother and Qin Ling have resumed investigation into this matter.

The killer of the She family in the capital was targeted by the second brother.

However, tracking down the killer cannot change the overall situation, and we must make arrangements to contain the chaos in She'an.

Last time I mentioned the establishment of governor of Yunnan and Guizhou and proposed four candidates. I wonder how Emperor Wanli will arrange it?

Emperor Wanli was actually thinking that his last proposal was very good.

To establish the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, it was necessary to select a suitable official. After much thought, among the four people he proposed, Yuan Yingtai was the most suitable.

However, the difficulty is that I rarely deal with political affairs, so it would be too strange to suddenly appoint a governor of Yunnan and Guizhou.

This is the disadvantage of "lazy administration".

Normally, we don't pay much attention to matters other than military matters. If we suddenly appoint a governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, it will definitely attract great attention.

But this matter should be considered. Since Shen Shixing, there have been gradually fewer ministers who can confide in the emperor like himself.

At this time, I was very hesitant and didn't know how to deal with it.

As an emperor, it is really difficult for me to directly ask the young man in front of me.

Especially since he is a descendant who was deprived of his title.

I always feel like there is a layer of factors that I can’t let go of.

Although Emperor Wanli has been in power for 48 years, his relationship with his ministers has gone from one awkward direction to another during these 48 years.

Now, I am very lonely...

That being the case, let’s talk about other related things first.

Wanli looked slightly towards the south and said with some worry:

"I have long hoped to promote the reform of the soil and return to the local people in the southwest, but She'an and other chieftains will inevitably take advantage of the situation to cause chaos. Ai Qing, combined with the local people, what do you think about the reform of the soil and the return to the local people?"

Wang Hongyu was well prepared and expressed his views on the southwestern chieftain's conversion to native land.

It is the general trend to change the land and return it to the current situation.

But it will inevitably affect the current beneficiaries. If it is not implemented properly, it will easily change, and if it is too laissez-faire, it will be easy for treacherous people to seize status and wealth.

Therefore, along the main arteries of the Yunnan-Guizhou River, major prefectures, and population gathering areas, priority should be given to land reform and return. During the advancement process, the original chieftains should be allowed to leave the land that they have occupied for hundreds of years, and they should be given more generous political benefits.

Economic treatment has changed the long-term situation of separatist rule in one place.

Faced with the inevitable Tusi rebellion.

They should be destroyed with the force of thunder to deter other evildoers.

"There are many hills and rocks in the southwest, so it is difficult for the chieftains to build fortresses and attack them by force. Now that the main force of the Sichuan army is moving north, they cannot besieged like they did to quell the Bozhou Rebellion. Aiqing said that the force of thunder is powerful, so how should we deal with the chieftains' fortresses?"

"Use a cannon."

Wang Hongyu replied with great certainty.

Because he thought of one thing, that is, the Battle of Jinchuan and Jinchuan in the Qing Dynasty to pacify the southwestern chieftains.

They can conquer a fortified city with red cannons.

As for the red cannon, you can start preparing now, without waiting for Governor Yuan.

Huang Kezuan and Xu Guangqi are currently building cannons.
