The old man arranged for him to meet Lan Yu. What does this mean?
After pondering for a moment, Zhu Ying replied: "Okay, I haven't seen Duke Liang's style before."
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "Don't be scared by him."
After hearing this, Zhu Ying said confidently: "If Duke Liang leads 5,000 men and I lead 5,000 men, maybe I have to avoid it."
"If we fight alone, hey, old man, one Liang Guogong may not be enough for me to fight."
This may sound like bragging to others.
But Zhu Yuanzhang knew clearly that his eldest grandson was really a ruthless person.
Coupled with the work-for-relief program of the past few days, he really can be regarded as a character with both civil and military skills.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang felt very pleased.
"Okay, we know that the great grandson is unparalleled in bravery and can be defeated by ten thousand people. But marching and fighting is not a one-man effort. What is important is the formation of troops. I wonder what the great grandson thinks about fighting." Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
Zhu Ying heard this and knew that the old man was testing his military ability.
After thinking slightly, he did not directly reply to the old man's question, but turned around and said:
"Yesterday, the eldest prince of the Yan Palace and I went to see the Gunpowder Department."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he put down the glass in his hand and listened.
Zhu Ying continued: "Now that the Ming Dynasty has the most powerful firearms, the way we used to fight has been quietly changing. When I look at future military operations, firearms should be the first priority."
"Better use of firearms to coordinate combat operations is now the focus of exploration."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly. Dasun did not talk about the things in the military book, but instead talked about firearms, which obviously had the same views as his.
To conquer the world, firearms are crucial. From beginning to end, Zhu Yuanzhang attached great importance to the research and development of firearms and their large-scale use in the army.
"Dasun went to the Gunpowder Department to have a look. Do you have any ideas?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked casually without taking it too seriously.
He didn't think that Da Sun could come up with any unique insights. After all, the technology and production of gunpowder had always been strictly controlled by him and would never be allowed to leak out.
Hearing this, a trace of hesitation flashed across Zhu Ying's face.
In fact, as far as the current firearms production is concerned, due to industrial restrictions, there will not be many changes in a short period of time.
The only thing that can be improved and quickly increase the power of firearms is gunpowder granulation.
When he looked at the powdered black powder in the Gunpowder Department, he had already discovered a very small amount of granulated gunpowder.
People today don't understand enough about gunpowder granulation. At that time, there were many craftsmen who crushed the granulated gunpowder into powder.
This is a matter of cognition and habit, and Zhu Ying is not surprised.
Naturally formed granular gunpowder like this actually has no obvious effect when used. Instead, it will more easily cause the barrel to explode.
Zhu Ying's current hesitation is that he doesn't know whether he should tell the old man about the effect of gunpowder granulation.
Seeing his grandson deep in thought, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly and did not rush him.
He took a bite with the vegetables, drank the wine in the glass, and filled it up for his eldest grandson.
Nowadays, people don’t pay as much attention to wine as later generations. They just take one sip and it’s over.
Zhu Ying saw the old man pouring wine for her, and remembered what the old man said earlier about letting her meet Lan Yu. After thinking for a while, she said:
"Old man, in fact, in the Western Regions, gunpowder has undergone new reforms."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang paused, frowned, and asked: "What kind of reform?"
"Gunpowder granulation." Zhu Ying replied.
Zhu Yuanzhang himself knew a lot about firearms, and was even familiar with gunpowder formulas and firearms production.
This word was easy for Zhu Yuanzhang to understand, and he asked: "Can this make the power of gunpowder more powerful?"
"That's right." Zhu Ying said with certainty.
"The current powder gunpowder is extremely susceptible to moisture and is inconvenient to transport. Even a little rain can only stop the use of the fire system."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded when he heard this. At present, in order to ensure the normal use of gunpowder.
Fire commanders would carry saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal powder separately, and then mix them into gunpowder just before going to the battlefield.
This is a big flaw on the battlefield. Sudden encounters and bad weather will bring great trouble to the temporary configuration of gunpowder.
"The method that Da Sun said, we will know when someone tries it."
Zhu Yuanzhang said after hearing this. His tone was relatively calm and he was not overly excited.
If you don’t see some things, and you just rely on other people’s words, you won’t be able to understand them at all.
Zhu Ying was not surprised. He knew that it would be impossible to make the old man realize the huge changes brought about by gunpowder granulation in just a few words.
In fact, this technology had begun to be gradually discovered and used by the middle and late Ming Dynasty.
But for current gunpowder technology, it is really a black technology.
Once it is completely changed, it will bring a devastating blow to the enemy.
When drinking wine, I don’t feel much, but the stamina is much greater.
Gradually, the old man started to feel a little tipsy.
Being with the eldest grandson, the sadness caused by Mu Ying's death was immediately diluted.
"We have arranged a few teachers for you. Bring them over as soon as possible. Then you can learn more from them."
Zhu Yuanzhang drank another drink and said to Zhu Ying with a smile.
Zhu Yuanzhang's current preparation is to train his grandson like his own son.
Wencheng, a military commander, gradually built a strong team for Da Sun.
He knows very well what Dasun will face in the future. Only a strong team can suppress all dissatisfaction.
He had already sent an urgent edict to Lan Yu who had conquered Handong, ordering him to return to the capital immediately.
At the same time, Jin Yiwei was asked to stop collecting blue jade, and there were also a series of criminal evidence of Huaixi generals.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion, Da Sun was more outstanding than Zhu Yunwen.
The most important thing is that if Lan Yu approves of this nephew, the Huaixi Generals Group will be the best sword in his grandson's hands.
Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang knew very well that his eldest grandson came out of a fight with him.
I will never guard this home safely.
The eldest grandson is only eighteen years old now, and there are still so many years in the future. Given his temperament, let alone anything else.
Definitely defeating Japan.
As a grandfather, what can he do?
If you can't be persuaded, then you can only continue to fight.
Fight early.
No matter how hard he fights, the eldest grandson can still gain meritorious service. When the time comes to inherit the throne, no one will dare to make irresponsible remarks.
"Although the wine is good, the old man can't be greedy. After drinking this glass, go and have a rest." Zhu Ying poured half the glass for the old man and said.
"It's full, it's full, it's just such a small wine glass, you're looking down on us." Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the half glass of wine and pretended to be angry.
Zhu Ying had no choice but to give it to him.
Nowadays, it is the custom of Ming Dynasty to see off guests with plenty of tea and respect others with plenty of wine.
If the old man takes this as an example, there is nothing he can do.
Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled, picked up the glass and drank it in one gulp, laughing and saying: "It's refreshing."
Wine can lower blood pressure and protect the heart.
Drinking it appropriately is obviously better for the old man's health, and it is also easier to promote sleep.
It didn't take long for the wine's stamina to kick in, and the old man felt a little sleepy.
"Today, my grandson will sleep with us."
Zhu Yuanzhang was supported by Zhu Ying and walked into the room with a hint of pleading in his tone.
Hearing this, Zhu Ying did not hesitate, nodded and said: "Okay, I will sleep with the old man today. I am not worried about you sleeping alone after drinking."
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed happily.
When they got to the room, Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the bed, and Zhu Ying helped the old man change his clothes and take off his shoes.
Zhu Yuanzhang took off his coat, and the underwear made of silk and satin was extremely luxurious.
Zhu Ying saw it and didn't show any surprise.
After helping the old man finish it, Zhu Ying also took off her coat and slept next to the old man.
Looking at the side face of his eldest grandson, who was close at hand, Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes and soon fell asleep as the wine continued to drink.
