Behind the door were densely packed soldiers of the Liberation Army, armed with weapons and cold faces.
Obviously, this is a fishing law enforcement!
There are many Spanish craftsmen in the weapons workshop. In terms of treatment, although Zhu Hongyu did not treat these Spaniards differently, he gave them the same salary and treatment as the Chinese.
But to say that he really trusts these Spaniards is nonsense!
The reason is very simple, people who are not from my race must have different minds!
In addition, the matter of weapons and ammunition is related to the fate and future of the Liberation Army, and Zhu Hongyu cannot attach too much importance to it.
The most typical negative teaching material is the explosion of Wang Gong Factory in the late Ming Dynasty!
A big explosion at Wang Gong Factory directly destroyed the firearms research and development and production system of the Ming Dynasty, killing a large number of professional craftsmen and talents.
The cause of the Wanggong Factory explosion is unknown, but there are several possible theories.
One theory is that it was done by the Jesuits in collusion with the Chinese who had converted to the Jesuits, and the other is that it was done by the spies of the Later Jin Dynasty.
But it is more said that the big explosion was caused by the loopholes in the management system of the Ming Dynasty!
But the possibility of the last one is actually the smallest!
Wang Gong's factory is located in the capital, and it is also a place where gunpowder is stored. It is very important. If it explodes, it will disturb the nobles, and no one can afford it.
Even if the nobleman is not disturbed, the gunpowder explosion will kill him.
Who dares to slack off on this kind of thing?!
Therefore, nothing happened to Wang Gong Factory for more than 200 years.
But why did something happen at the end of tomorrow?
Since the cause of the explosion is unknown, the investigation has no clue.
In line with the principle that whoever benefits is the murderer, the suspects in the Wanggong Factory explosion are either foreigners or Hou Jin.
Needless to say, the explosion in the Wanggong Factory caused the Ming Army's firearms research and development and production capabilities to collapse directly. As the Ming Army's biggest enemy, they must have benefited the most.
What about foreigners?
The most direct result of the Wang Gong factory explosion was that in the Chongzhen period, when the imperial court wanted to organize a new Denglai army, it had to hire Portuguese firearms craftsmen to make cannons and muskets.
Moreover, after this incident, China's firearms research and development capabilities completely lagged behind the West.
You know, before this, the development level of firearms in the Ming Dynasty was no worse than that in the West!
So, who dares to say that foreigners have not benefited?
Regardless of who is behind the explosion at Wang Gong Factory, the word spy cannot be escaped!
Zhu Hongyu murmured in his heart, since the spies could cause a big explosion in Wang Gong Factory in the late Ming Dynasty.
Then can we give him a replica and destroy the weapons and ammunition production capacity of the Liberation Army?!
Just thinking about it makes me scared!
Therefore, there is this fishing law enforcement!
He sent his cronies, claiming to be spies sent by the Governor-General of Manila.
He organized a large-scale network in the weapons workshop, and used the name of the Governor's Palace to encourage the restless elements in the weapons workshop to rebel.
He wants to use this fishing to enforce the law and clean up the weapons workshop from top to bottom!
Only then can he feel at ease!
Obviously, this fishing law enforcement was successful!
A lot of unstable elements were fished out!
Zhu Hongyu stood in front of everyone, staring at the six people outside the door with extremely sharp eyes. He sneered and said.
"good very good!"
"It seems that this general is too merciful to you, and has actually allowed you to have such ungrateful thoughts!"
Four of the six people turned pale with fright at the scene before them.
Especially when they were looked at by a group of Liberation Army soldiers as if they were looking at dead people.
Henridova's legs went weak and he collapsed on the ground. A large area of his crotch was wet, and there was a foul smell.
Zhou Tianxu took a step forward, knelt down on one knee in front of Zhu Hongyu, and spoke loudly.
"The final general Zhou Tianxu fulfilled his mission and successfully completed the mission!"
One of the two Spaniards also stood up and said.
"Dear General, I have already done what you asked me to do. The hundred silver dollars you promised me..."
Zhu Hongyu nodded and said to Zhou Tianxu.
"Thank you for your hard work. This general will not forget your contribution, nor will the rest of the Liberation Army!"
Then he said to the Spaniard again.
"Leon, your mission has been completed beautifully!"
"It's a total of one hundred and twenty silver dollars. I've already ordered someone to send it to your room!"
"Of course I will not go back on what I promised you, not even a penny less. The extra twenty yuan is a reward for your performance this time."
Leon's face suddenly burst into light, and he said in a very sincere tone.
"My dear General, I sincerely praise you. You must be the most generous, kind, smart, and brave person in the world..."
"May the Lord bless you always healthy, always strong and always energetic!"
Leon had a lot of good things to say, and he was laughing so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes.
Zhu Hongyu said with a chuckle.
"sincere?"
"Haha, how much does it cost per pound? Can I eat it?"
Leon didn't care either. After saying goodbye to Zhu Hongyu, he happily walked towards his thatched house.
He can't wait to hear the sound of the cute silver coins clinking against each other!
Zhu Hongyu's eyes suddenly turned cold and he said in a cold tone.
"Come here, lock up all four thieves and put them on trial tomorrow!"
Zhu Hongyu gave an order, and the soldiers of the Liberation Army pounced on Henrivado and others like wolves and tigers.
When Henrivado and the other four were taken down, Zhu Hongyu rubbed his brows and then made arrangements.
"The patrol team has stepped up their vigilance. Zhou Tianxu will come with me. Everyone else should go and rest!"
…
Zhu Hongyu took Zhou Tianxu to his thatched house.
The two entered the thatched house and sat down separately. Zhu Hongyu said.
"Tianxu, you did a good job in enforcing the law this time. The arrest of the four unsettled elements has eliminated a major hidden danger for the military-industrial system of our Liberation Army."
"However, this also exposed the lack of intelligence capabilities of our Liberation Army!"
"I intend to rebuild the Ming Dynasty's Jinyiwei, responsible for intelligence collection, spying, assassination and other work. This important task will be entrusted to your hands."
"I'll figure out the funding issue!"
"First go and select a group of capable people to build up Jin Yiwei's frame!"
"I will leave the heavy responsibility of being the first commander of the Royal Guards to you!"
Zhu Hongyu's idea of rebuilding Jinyiwei was not just a temporary idea.
But Jinyiwei, as an intelligence agency, must be in the hands of trustworthy people.
Zhou Tianxu is the commander of the Imperial Guard selected by Zhu Hongyu.
Like Zhou Tianxu and Li Guangyuan, they grew up together with Zhu Hongyu, so they are reliable in terms of loyalty.
And in the process of fishing and law enforcement, he also showed his abilities.
Therefore, Zhu Hongyu had the idea of asking him to rebuild Jinyiwei!
Zhou Tianxu accepted the task assigned to him by Zhu Hongyu and embarked on the task of rebuilding Jin Yiwei, and instead spoke.
"General, you asked the general to form a royal guard. This is your trust in the general."
"Even if the final general is shattered to pieces, he will never say a word!"
"But the general please take back his orders and don't appoint the junior general to be the commander of the Imperial Guard. Just appoint the junior general to have a general banner!"
"The Jinyi Guards are newly built, and there are not many people under the general's command. If he claims to be a commander, I'm afraid he will be laughed at."
