Chapter 510 The head that can't be cut off [3 more]
"Escort me, where are my guards? Hurry and escort me!"
Chu Yi, as the one-word king of the Ming Dynasty, had his own royal status. Now he was suddenly bombarded. The surrounding guards immediately divided into two groups, and one of them came towards Chu Yi crazily, making it clear that they were going to fight with flesh and blood.
The body was blocking the artillery fire for Chu Yi, while the other part was heading straight for the merchant ships that were firing cannonballs wildly.
When the smoke filled the air, Chu Yi looked calm, with his hands behind his back, his figure erratic, left and right, no matter how much fragments of the shells flew around, none of them could hurt Chu Yi, not even the corners of his clothes.
With a ding sound, a silver needle shot out, but it blocked a shell fragment and blocked Yu Dayou's fatal blow.
With Chu Yi's cultivation, even in a hail of bullets, unless he himself wanted to seek death, the muskets and shells of this era could not threaten his safety.
Of course, if we talk about modern artillery shells and barrage, even if Chu Yi's cultivation level is higher, it will only be torn into pieces.
However, Chu Yi's expression gradually became gloomy as he looked at the shells exploding around him.
This is a shell, especially when you feel the power of the shell exploding, it is basically a shell that he arranged to improve.
Although this explosive shell is not a top secret, the shells produced are guarded by special personnel, so it is unlikely that it will appear among the public.
However, now his assassin was able to use these explosive bombs, which were the most lethal weapon in the Ming Dynasty army, against him, which meant that the explosive bombs had been leaked out.
Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, when he actually faced it, Chu Yi was filled with murderous intent.
No matter how many officials he kills, he still does not have the ability to replace all the officials. Even if he replaces all the officials, can he guarantee that these new officials will be honest and law-abiding and dedicated to the people?
?
Even the hundreds of civil and military officials in the court, first Chu Yi, and then Zhu Houzhao, the monarch and his ministers jointly failed to replace all the hundreds of civil and military officials in the court. Even now, at least half of the civil and military officials are still in the court.
.
Chu Yi doesn't find it strange to resell ordnance supplies. Some people are so bold that there is nothing they dare not do for the sake of gold and silver, let alone reselling the weapons and weapons in the armory.
All utensils are sold at the same time. As for the explosives, it is not surprising that they were sold and became homeless.
A unified artillery attack, at least a dozen shells exploded all around, and the fragments flew around. If it were an ordinary person, he would probably have died without a burial place.
At least the situation of Xu Bang and other officials who were affected was very bad. Even if the desperadoes under Wang Hai targeted Chu Yi, they could not perfectly control the impact point of the shells. Some
Errors are perfectly normal.
However, it was this error that allowed Chu Yi to save his life with his cultivation, while Xu Bang and other officials suffered the same fate.
Among the more than a dozen officials, at least two officials lost their lives on the spot. As for the other officials, they were either extremely embarrassed or injured. Even Xu Bang's arm was scratched by shell fragments.
On the merchant ship, Wang Hai's figure had long since disappeared. How could an old fox like Wang Hai put himself in danger?
When the first cannonball was fired, Wang Hai jumped into the sea and disappeared into the harbor like a fish.
As for Wang Hai's men, they were also a group of highly skilled people. When Chu Yi's guards boarded the merchant ships in small boats, these people had already fled.
Yu Dayou, who was waiting for the news, looked disgraced and embarrassed. When he learned from his subordinates that no assassin had been caught, Yu Dayou went into a rage at such a young age and scolded these subordinates with their heads hanging down.
.
Xu Bang's forehead was now covered with cold sweat. Standing in front of Chu Yi, he didn't know whether his arm was hurt or because he was frightened by the sudden assassination.
He is the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture, and the Shanghai port is under the jurisdiction of Songjiang Prefecture. If Chu Yi is attacked in this port and there is something unexpected, he, a mere prefect, will never be able to block the emperor's wrath from Lei Teng.
ah.
Anyone in the officialdom doesn't know the deep friendship between Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao. If something happened to Chu Yi, it would be strange if Zhu Houzhao, the emperor, didn't get angry.
Even when he saw that Chu Yi was safe and sound, Xu Bang felt uneasy, as if his parents were dead. He knelt in front of Chu Yi and kept saying: "This official is guilty. Your Highness is guilty. Please punish me."
ah!"
Behind Xu Bang were several officials. These officials were not bad luck, at least they were not killed by shelling like their colleagues.
At this moment, he was kneeling there like Xu Bang, with a look of fear on his face.
Chu Yi glanced at Xu Bang and others, waved his hands and said: "I am not the kind of person who is ignorant of things. Although you are guilty of negligence in this matter, the fault is not yours. Your Majesty, I will take care of myself."
I will explain."
"Your Highness is merciful, Your Highness is merciful..."
Several officials thought that they were definitely doomed this time. Even if they were not held accountable, their official uniforms would probably be stripped off.
But what they didn't expect was that Chu Yi was so easy to talk to and had no intention of holding them accountable.
Chu Yi glanced at Xu Bang and said: "Lead the way and take me to rest!"
Here Xu Bang hurriedly led Chu Yi to the manor they had prepared to rest. It seemed that he was stimulated by the shelling. Xu Bang was a little worried about whether there would be any problems with the manor they had prepared, so Xu Bang
While Bang was taking Chu Yi with him, he sent people to rush back quickly, and then ordered people to search the manor carefully to prevent assassins from sneaking in.
The entire port was completely sealed. The soldiers who originally escorted the huge amount of wealth were now left with only a part to guard the incoming fleets, and a part of them came to dig deep in the port to catch suspicious people.
On a merchant ship, a figure sat there, with a face full of joy, he put down the telescope in his hand, and murmured: "The big thing is done, even if Chu Yi has the ability to reach the sky, he can't escape the gunfire."
, Chu Thief, you never dreamed that you would die under the gunpowder developed by your own people!"
It could be seen that this man was very proud. Seeing Chu Yi being engulfed in smoke, this man concluded that Chu Yi must have died under the gunfire.
It was not just one person who was secretly watching this scene. After all, there was more than one person who went to see Wang Hai before. Although they couldn't tell each other's details, they had some guesses about each other's identity.
At this moment, someone was so angry that he smashed the telescope in his hand against the wall.
With a click, the extremely valuable telescope was shattered into pieces and scattered on the ground.
"Damn it, can't you kill him even if you do this?"
Apparently this person saw Chu Yi's figure through a telescope. Apparently he never expected that Chu Yi would still be standing there alive and well under the bombardment.
You must know that they spent a lot of effort to assassinate Chu Yi this time. Even the explosive bullets were obtained by someone among them who had smoothed the relationship and got dozens of them.
I thought this was a sure shot, but I didn't expect that Chu Yi was unharmed after being bombarded by a unified force.
A group of soldiers were boarding one merchant ship after another and searching them by force. Anyone suspicious was tied up and taken away without saying a word.
The scene where Chu Yi was bombarded in the port just now was seen by everyone. In this situation, all fools knew that Chu Yi must be furious.
Facing these officers and soldiers, it is enough to cooperate honestly. If anyone dares to resist, even if he is not the person who assassinated Chu Yi, I am afraid that he will not end well in this limelight.
The county seat of Shanghai is not very big, but due to the existence of the port, with the opening of the sea, a large number of maritime merchants gathered, making the county seat very prosperous.
A manor that looked quite elegant and quiet appeared in sight. Xu Bang, who was leading the way, said to Chu Yi: "Your Highness, this is the residence of an old censor, but the descendants of the old censor are incompetent and failed.
Family business, sold this piece of family property to Meng Yi, a wealthy businessman in the city. Meng Yi has always admired His Highness and specially cleaned this house to welcome His Highness."
Chu Yi frowned. People like Xu Bang had been quietly paying attention to the changes in Chu Yi's expression. Now when he saw Chu Yi frowning slightly, he reacted quickly and said: "Your Highness, don't misunderstand, this member Meng Yi is not
He is a well-known philanthropist in Shanghai County. He has built bridges and paved roads for more than ten years and helped the government to provide relief to the victims. He is the leading philanthropist in the entire Shanghai County. He is loved by the people and his prestige is so high that even in the countryside, he is a village elder.
Nothing can compare to it.”
Chu Yi was surprised and said: "Oh, I never thought there were such kind people in this county."
The steps paused slightly, and Chu Yi said: "In this case, I will see you as a member of the Meng family! It's better to thank him in person. After all, this house is the private property of the Meng family! But I want to express my gratitude."
Xu Bang was slightly startled and said: "I would like to thank Your Highness on behalf of Yuan Meng first. I believe Yuan Meng would be very excited if he knew that His Highness was willing to give him the opportunity to meet him."
As he spoke, Xu Bang nodded to a close government official behind him and said: "Board Chen, go and find Member Meng immediately, and then tell Member Meng that His Highness has summoned him and ask him to come quickly!"
Meng family mansion
At this moment, the Meng family was all white and hung with mourning cloths. In the mourning hall, an old man was carefully putting a head together with the body.
