Chapter eight hundred and seventy seventh unexpected
It's your responsibility, you idiot... I'm not a science and engineering major! No, even if I am a science and engineering major, I'm not like that Emperor Taizu. His graduation thesis is a weapon system, and he also travels in real body. Not only does he carry
Bow and arrow, I am good at shooting quickly, I even bring a reference book with me!
Zhang Shou was so disgusted that he wanted to vomit, especially Chu Kuan's enthusiastic look at this moment, which was exactly the same as that of some arrogant middle school boys. But if you want to say that this guy's suspicion was wrong... then he really had no suspicion.
Wrong, he immediately sighed deeply again, and then laughed again.
"It turns out that Eunuch Chu did not hesitate to create this scene just for this."
This time, before Chu Kuan spoke, Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing's face immediately darkened: "Why haven't I heard about the Ordnance Bureau? And, Zhang Shou, what are you talking about? What do you mean by just?"
If there is a problem with the Ordnance Bureau, and those magical weapons that allowed our court to dominate the Northern Lu, and even caused chaos several times without causing catastrophe, can no longer be produced, then..."
Before Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing could finish what he said, Zhang Shou calmly interrupted: "Father-in-law, let me retort, so what if you can't make it? The so-called magic weapon has never been important, the important thing is people.
"
"Just like fighting a war, no matter how good the soldiers are, if they are led by a weak scholar who has only read a few military books and can only talk and talk, it will be a loss of strength and humiliation for the country. However, even a group of peasants who have never been in battle will be
If the people or miners are led by a famous general who is proficient in leading troops, then it will not even take three to five years, maybe three to five months to form an army."
"The same goes for magical weapons. Nowadays, because there are no people who really understand the principles, the drawings are gone, and the people who can assemble them are gone, so there is a danger of being lost. But if someone knows how to draw such drawings, every day
What is the function of each component? When assembling, how can the error be minimized? Isn’t it necessary to have as many magical weapons as there are?"
"And because someone is constantly studying and pondering, the original magic weapons will soon be updated to the second generation, the third generation, and even the Nth generation." Zhang Shou didn't bother to care whether the two people in front of him understood what he was saying.
What does the N mean? He smiled and said word for word, "Otherwise, if you stick to the things of your ancestors, they will be lost if you are not careful."
This time, although Zhu Jing's face turned pale after being robbed, he had to admit that what Zhang Shou said was indeed reasonable. However, Chu Kuan, instead of being annoyed by being squeezed out, had a certain expression on his face that became even stronger.
"I know that those who can unlock Emperor Taizu's secret box will naturally not be like those mediocre ordinary people. No wonder you have devoted yourself to various schools in the past two years. Sure enough, you have long been able to understand Emperor Taizu.
of my mind.”
"Everyone in the world thinks that Emperor Taizu was most proud of his unparalleled achievements in expelling the Tartars and ruling the world. They all think that they are the magic weapons in the Arms Bureau, but they don't know..."
"Emperor Taizu was most proud of the various great halls in the Imperial College where a hundred flowers bloomed. But now, Jiuzhang Hall has been reopened, but those miscellaneous subjects have disappeared without a trace. Emperor Taizu even wanted to open a carpenter and a blacksmith.
The school came for training, but the opposition was so strong that it had to temporarily cease its activities. Even when he set sail after abdicating the throne, there is another theory."
"Legend has it that he hated some people who were stubborn and stubborn, and it was impossible for him to kill all the scholars in a big way, and then implement his own method, so he passed the throne to Emperor Taizong in a fit of anger, bringing with him a large number of fans.
, intending to find a piece of pure land in Haidong, expand territories in foreign lands, and rebuild the foundation!"
Wake up, that's Xu Fu's script, not the Taizu of this dynasty! Only a crazy person would do this!
Although he knew that Emperor Taizu was equal to a god in the minds of some people, even the emperor and Zhu Ying, Zhang Shou still couldn't help but smile and said: "Mediocre people only know how to open borders on land.
He wanted to expand the land, but he didn't know that there were countless unowned fertile lands overseas, so Emperor Taizu set sail to explore the universe, which was of course unprecedented, but..."
"However, during the reign of Emperor Qin Shihuang in the past, when Xu Fu set sail to sea and disappeared without a trace on the pretext of searching for the elixir of death, he brought three thousand boys and girls with him. Today's Japan claims to be the descendants he left behind. But that
It's just a legend, after all, no one knows what the isolated island was like during the Qin Dynasty."
"But there is one truth that is very clear, that is, population reproduction. Xu Fu brought 3,000 boys and girls with him. After a certain mortality rate was eliminated, and they married each other, they would at least be able to give birth to many children, and then reproduce them from generation to generation. So far,
In more than a thousand years, it is indeed possible to accumulate a considerable population. Of course, the premise is that too many ships and people are not lost at sea."
"The Haidong Continent is more than ten times farther away than Japan. How many ships and how many people can arrive safely? After arriving, if you really want to thrive, expand overseas, and establish a nation...
So, how many women followed the ship? Most importantly, after so many years, are there any signs of large-scale population outflows in various parts of the Ming Dynasty? "
"If there is no continuous replenishment of the population and the establishment of a country in a distant foreign land, unless 200,000 troops are sent out in one go, just like the story I once told about the disappearance of 200,000 troops of Youhou Xi in the late Shang Dynasty, then there will be no
It is possible to establish a state of some size in a foreign land because there is a basis for recuperation. Otherwise, even a saintly king and a wise master cannot make a meal without rice."
"Therefore, if Emperor Taizu was really prepared to do it, he would have raised his arms and raised his arms, not to mention millions of soldiers and civilians willing to go to sea with him, but at least one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand, right? But how could such a big thing happen?
Only now do the so-called descendants of Taizu appear?"
Chu Kuan looked at Zhang Shou with unclear meaning, his mood was so complicated that he was confused.
Compared with him, Zhu Jing's reaction was relatively calm and restrained. After all, he was kidnapped here. Even though he had always admired Taizu, he actually scorned the theory of Haidong's founding of the country, and at this time
What Zhang Shou said is indeed reasonable.
Which of the founding emperors would be willing to abandon the country they finally conquered, and then go to a barren land in a foreign land to continue to open maps and fight? Emperor Taizu was certainly still young and powerful when he abdicated, but you must know that he was not as old as he is now.
It's not much different. The damage caused by half a lifetime of military service cannot be seen from the surface!
Therefore, Zhu Jing said decisively: "Chu Kuan, what Zhang Shou should say has been made very clear, what else do you want now? Although he is proficient in arithmetic and has dabbled in miscellaneous studies, it is as if he does not understand astronomy at all.
, I can’t recognize stars like the Twenty-Eight Constellations, and even the Emperor Star Ziwei is a little ignorant, and he doesn’t know anything about things like artillery and muskets.”
"Are you going to put a knife on his neck and force him to dream of the Emperor of Heaven on the spot? I think Wang Jinggong once wrote an article "Injury to Zhongyong". That is not a child prodigy born in an ordinary family? It's just a difference.
He was a man who eventually fell into obscurity because of his father's stupidity, but Zhang Shou was able to shine because he was eager to learn and had Mrs. Ge's words and deeds to teach him."
Zhang Shou rarely heard Zhu Jing praise him, especially in front of Chu Kuan, so he couldn't help but stand there with a smile. After Zhu Jing finished speaking, he said very sincerely: "Thank you, father-in-law, for the compliment.
"
I'm not complimenting you, I'm hinting that Chu Kuan should step back from the brink!
Zhu Jing was angry about this, but he couldn't say it out loud. Although he was proud of his martial arts, now the Baiyun Temple was full of imperial attendants brought by Chu Kuan. It was not that he didn't try to blame each other with justice, but these
It was as if people were deaf and selectively ignored his words, so of course he would not expect to be able to lead Zhang Shou out.
Even if he knew that Zhang Shou should have brought Ah Liu, he would not dare to take such a risk. Otherwise, if Zhang Shou was harmed in any way, how could he be worthy of his precious daughter! What's more, according to Zhang Shou, Zhu Ying and Zhu Tingfang
Maybe Chu Kuan was also plotting against him!
Therefore, seeing that Chu Kuan's face became more and more uncertain, he felt anxious and shouted sternly: "What's more, when I asked Wu to take Zhang Shou to Rongshui Village, I did transfer the old troops to take care of them nearby, but...
It is just to allow those former veterans to have a place to live and settle down, and no one will keep an eye on him all the time. His mother and son are not prisoners!"
"Perhaps some overseas wise men really discovered his identity, and thought there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, so they specially taught him? You should know that although Emperor Taizu went to sea after abdicating the throne, he later disappeared.
After Emperor Taizong mourned him, some wise men who had studied in the Imperial Academy also took ships to go overseas! After so many years, they may not have any students or disciples!"
This is the benefit of having someone behind you...
Zhang Shou took a breath and thought that he had suffered a little hardship during those three years in the countryside - it couldn't even be called hardship, because it was just the life of a thrifty and frugal landowner - ever since he had a teacher,
There are more engagements, although there are more wind and frost swords, and sometimes people are targeted for no reason, but there is always a big tree to support me.
Therefore, he looked back at Chu Kuan innocently. It was not until he saw the other party gently flipping his wrist and showing a sharp knife that his face turned cold. The next moment, he heard Zhu Jing's voice coming from behind.
sound.
"Zhang Shou, come behind me! This guy is crazy!"
Almost as soon as Zhu Jing finished speaking the first two words, Zhang Shou pounced on the ground without thinking, and rolled to the side regardless of his image. Sure enough, there were continuous bangs and explosions next. He didn't even think about it.
He didn't rush to approach his father-in-law because of Zhu Jing's words, but directly took a look at the pillar standing tall on the side.
It wasn't until his back hit the pillar that he stopped, and when he heard the sound of a fierce fight in the middle, Zhang Shou smiled bitterly in his heart.
Even Zhu Jing could see that Chu Kuan was crazy, not to mention Ah Liu, a man with sharp eyesight and skill. However, once the fight started, the other guys in Baiyun Temple would not be able to arrive in an instant, and they would be difficult to defeat with both fists.
Hands, can this boy still carry down all the imperial servants?
Even if Hua Qi arrived, he probably wouldn't be able to stop such a group of people! Sure enough, the next moment, he heard Chu Kuan's effortless laughter.
"Scholar Zhang, just now Zhao Guogong said that you don't understand artillery and firecrackers, and that you don't understand astronomical images, which is just a nerd who knows arithmetic. But the sound just now was like a firecracker exploding, and the thing that was splashing with fire was
What the hell? Do you dare to say that in your workshop that day, you only made clocks and spinning machines? You never made such exquisite firearms?"
Knowing that Chu Kuan wanted to capture Ah Liu's heart, he waited for an opportunity to get closer to him. He could hear the explosions still ringing continuously. The side hall was still filled with smoke. He had just covered himself with a silk scarf soaked in the jade gourd he had brought with him while he was rolling.
Zhang Shou, who had his mouth and nose covered, still didn't speak.
However, Ah Liu, who had always been silent, spoke up and said, "Young Master said that it was a poisonous fire bomb, do you believe it?"
Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing, who had retreated to a corner of the hall and was about to approach Zhang Shou, couldn't help but shuddered slightly. But while he was hurriedly tearing off his sleeves and covering his mouth and nose, the next words Ah Liu said made him almost feel guilty.
The knot of anger.
"I'm lying to you, it's a cannon made for children during the Chinese New Year. It explodes when thrown on the ground. It also emits smoke and the sound is quite loud. The young master also got some gunpowder and asked someone to make a box.
, I’m afraid that if I do too much, the underground Tiangongfang will be blown up!”
Zhu Jing usually doesn't have any good or bad feelings towards Ah Liu. Such a boy is the most qualified as a guard, but as a housekeeper... Zhang Shou was fooling around, but Zhu Ying followed suit, so he was too lazy to say anything. But now
Before the person had a complete advantage, he actually directly pierced the mysterious thing that exploded just now. How to fight next?
However, Chu Kuan couldn't help but pause for a moment. In a moment of confusion, he was hit on the shoulder, and then he yelled angrily: "Throwing a cannon? Zhang Shou, what you made in the workshop that day may be novel and ingenious."
, or it can benefit people's livelihood, but you don't think about something more useful, but do this kind of useless thing?"
Aware of the rapid pace around him, Zhang Shou, who was already half-sitting up, turned his head and saw that Zhu Jing had already rushed to his side. He waved his hand to stop his father-in-law from pulling him up, and instead sat there and laughed.
"Why, what does Mr. Chu think is in the box that Ah Liu is holding? A magical box that releases countless hidden weapons as soon as it is opened, a mysterious mechanism that can fly out flying knives to take out people's heads, or a magic box that can take out people with one blow.
The magic weapon of life?"
After throwing out a series of taunts angrily, he smiled lazily and said: "My ability only stops here. It can only benefit people's livelihood at most. But students are better than masters. Maybe some of my students can do it in the future."
To defeat me and make a breakthrough in the field of magical weapons, even if they can't, there must be someone among their students, students' students, who can do it."
"There is no end to learning. As long as the school continues, inheritance will continue. The result of continuous generations is that talented people emerge from generation to generation, and new generations replace old ones. In the future, there will always be someone who can restore those magical weapons based on the remaining physical objects, and then use them again.
Update and iterate to create a better one. Eunuch Chu, there is a time when conspiracies are exhausted, and there is no end to learning. You are not old yet, and you have the skills to use your brain to play conspiracies..."
"It's better to learn something more useful and don't get too carried away!"
