The imperial physician was also arrested and placed under special guard by Liu Qiao and his direct descendants. Because the other party was stubborn and refused to tell the truth, and wanted to play hard to get, he was starved for a few days and then tortured and interrogated to see the results.
It's impossible not to ask, just let the bullets fly for a while~
After Taichang Emperor Zhu Changluo vomited more than a dozen times, he was exhausted but still sober. After knowing that Zhu Youxiao saved him, he decided to give him more real power.
However, Zhu Youxiao didn't ask for much. He just set aside an area in the palace for the royal guards to strengthen guarding, practice and study.
Zhu Changluo thought about it and felt that the Jinyi Guards were crucial, so he allocated a special area south of the East Palace so that they could easily practice and study and rest.
Zhu Youxiao first asked a team to practice defense and guard tactics, while he took the resting team to study in the east of Wenhua Hall, familiarizing themselves with and inventing some gunpowder weapons.
He took matters into his own hands and after several attempts, he made a cylindrical explosive the size of a palm.
"This is propellant, this is explosive. I heard that some Ming troops were using magic arrows, so ours is called magic thunder."
Zhu Youxiao made a two-kicker with his own hands. The gunpowder at the tail ignited and exploded, popping out the explosive part. The explosive part had a delayed fuse. In fact, it burned when it was ignited. It was just that the fuse of the explosive part was longer and it exploded a little later.<
/p>
"At that time, the explosive part will not just be paper-wrapped gunpowder, but will be wrapped in two layers of sandwich and put iron nails or iron filings. The explosion alone will not be powerful in killing the enemy. The flying nails and iron filings are the key."
Through drawing, practical operations and explaining principles, Zhu Youxiao taught the study group almost everything in one morning.
"Can you wrap it up?"
"Yes!"
The second kicker is indeed easy to make. After mastering the principle, all Jinyi guards know how to use it safely.
When using it this time, instead of laying it flat on the ground, you pour it on the ground and light it. Put a brick at the end, so that the propellant can impact the brick and provide a reaction force to make the two kicks fly forward. It flies to the enemy's feet and explodes iron filings, which is very effective.
After a few seconds, he produced a hand-sized throwing object.
"Grenade, thrown by hand to explode the enemy."
The firecracker in his hand is still a large firecracker. As long as the firecracker is wrapped with a layer of sealing paper and iron nails and iron filings are sandwiched in the middle, it will be a throwing firearm.
It's just that black powder is less powerful, and one grenade can only blow up two or three enemies.
A young man in the Jinyi Guards asked: "These two are quite dangerous. Please be careful, Your Highness. I will do it later."
"No, it's not possible at all~"
Zhu Youxiao directly rejected the suggestion with this mantra: "When you know its principle and power, don't be too worried about it. When two kicks are kicked, and the grenade is not wrapped with iron nails or iron filings, don't be too afraid of them."<
/p>
Some other Jin Yiwei nodded. They were all really afraid of the explosion. When they heard the sound of explosion, they followed their instinct and lowered their heads and closed their eyes.
"I have found a batch of books for you, including the fifty-three volumes of "Mozi", "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", "Elements of Geometry", "New Book of Jixiao" and "Artifact Spectrum", study them carefully.
This study has nothing to do with fame and fame, it is just for real talent and practical learning. These are my favorite books. I hope that everyone can understand them and practice while learning. This is why I let you take turns to study and rest in groups."
"Those who hold humble positions must try their best to learn skills."
Seeing them working hard and practicing, Zhu Youxiao was very pleased. This group of Jin Yiwei was indeed specially selected, and their moral character was quite good and had not been contaminated by the customs of civil servants or military officials.
I want to have people who can do things, and I want to raise the red flag with the name of the Mohist family. I hope that this group of royal guards will have a good start, and the next target will be the enlightened ones among craftsmen and civil servants.
Most of the Mohists are righteous men with various abilities. To fly the red flag, you need a gathering of righteous men.
From one's own point of view, craftsmen are of course the force that one has to rely on, especially during this period when the labor-employment system has quietly developed. From the perspective of the Mohists in the pre-Qin period, craftsmen are also known as hundreds of workers, and they are also the mainstay of the support team. Then there are the enlightened scholar-bureaucrats, who have strong social power and some who are loyal and progressive in their thinking.
But nowadays, most of these scholar-bureaucrats are influenced by Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, and even Confucianism itself despises the practice of cultivating flowers with hundreds of hands.
Do you despise hundreds of workers and cultivate roses? Isn’t that just despising workers and peasants?
This is absolutely necessary.
Watch me use magic against magic.
Support the active thinking of Wang Xue and attack the conservative Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism; promote the revival of hundreds of schools of thought in the pre-Qin Dynasty, and all kinds of talents break through the shackles.
Of course, this is only the first stage. Fundamentally, there must be social and economic changes, especially changes in productivity and production relations.
Without changes in production relations and without a social change in the right direction, it would be difficult for these traditional intellectuals and martyrs to really stand in the direction of China's development.
In order to change productivity and production relations and achieve the desired social changes, effective policies must be adopted and implemented.
In the end, it was still obstructed by the Chinese civil servants in the court, especially the so-called "righteous men" Donglin Party.
Come full circle and come back again.
Hehe~
Zhu Youxiao doesn't feel any pressure, because some civil servants in the court who are tolerant and even open-minded in their thinking, and whose abilities are suitable for the revival of Mohism and Baijia, already have potential relationships with him.
After writing two short letters quickly, he went to see Liu Qiao to see how he was doing.
I happened to see Liu Qiao and his people training inside Donghua Gate.
I saw that they were training tactics to defend the city and prevent sneak attacks.
Some hooked various enemy siege equipment from hooks on the city wall, and then threw tinder and fire to kill the enemy soldiers fighting for the equipment and set the equipment on fire.
Some buried jars in the ground, and everyone practiced listening to the voice and arguing the direction. They dug tunnels inside the walls and waited for the enemies to emerge and destroy them.
"Good, very energetic!"
Zhu Youxiao first praised everyone's mental outlook, but then the topic changed and he raised several questions:
"What if the enemy uses cannons and doesn't have to push the siege equipment to the wall at all? Or if the enemy digs tunnels to the wall and instead of digging in, they plant explosives to blow up, how do we defend?"
When this question was asked, Jin Yiwei looked at each other, feeling that the defensive method just now was indeed unable to prevent these new offensive methods.
Liu Qiao had no choice but to reply: "We should take the initiative to counterattack. Mohism also advocates active defense and counterattack to kill the enemy. Therefore, we should fight with our back to the city and not give the enemy a chance to slowly bombard or plant explosives."
"As expected of Liu Tongzhi!"
The prince praised him with satisfaction. After all, the name of the Mohist family was not a mechanical application, but a "backdoor listing" to raise a red flag.
When Liu Qiao saw that the training matter had been explained, he asked: "What should we do with the imperial doctor in prison? He kept claiming that he was not guilty and that he had been using those medicines before, but accidentally the two medicines were inconsistent with each other.
He also said that Eunuch Cui had the intention to harm Your Majesty. He knew a lot of medicines, but he still used red stone resin on a daily basis. After Euphorbia, he suggested using bezoar, because he had the intention to harm Your Majesty."
Of course Zhu Youxiao felt that there was something wrong with the imperial doctor, but he really couldn't convince the public without a confession.
"If this matter continues to be closed for a while, after it ferments, the people behind it will jump to the wall."
