When he returned to Nanjing City, Zhao Peng settled Chen Yuanyuan in the original Duke of Wei's mansion, accompanied Kou Baimen, and then arranged Wu Xiaomei to the Nanjing Jinyi Guard Barracks, and built a small courtyard for her in the barracks. The rest of the Wu family were picked up by Qian Qianyi and temporarily arranged to be in the Hongdou Pavilion in Yushan. Zhao Peng went to ask Emperor Shaowu to request funds to build a house for the Wu family. After the house was repaired, he moved away from Qian Qianyi.

The permanent barracks of the Nanjing Jinyi New Army are located on the riverside north of Xuanwu Lake. One side is facing the river and the other side is against Xuanwu Lake. A large area of ​​construction sites is under construction. In addition to schoolyards, barracks, canteens, halls, clinics, officer dormitories and other facilities, there are also surrounding academic and industrial areas.

Zhao Peng had already thought of the president of the Academy of Sciences, and that was Song Yingxing. At that time, Song Yingxing will serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Works and the President of the Academy of Sciences. The Academy of Sciences will be responsible for the research and development of various new weapons and new mechanical equipment.

The industrial zones are mainly steel factories and military factories, including steel factories, casting gun factories, armor manufacturers, musket manufacturers, artillery truck factories, gunpowder manufacturers, cold weapons manufacturers and other factories.

Zhao Peng's main attack weapons are flintlock rifles and new artillery. The new artillery is actually slightly improved on the basis of the original artillery. It mainly adopts the new internal mold water-filling cooling method to cast artillery. The cast artillery barrel wall is thin, light in weight, low waste rate, reduces cost, and is not easy to explode. This was originally a technology from the American Civil War, but was copied by Zhao Peng.

The difficulty of flintlock rifle is steel, and he is capable of producing high-quality steel used for flintlock springs. In addition to solving the problem of steel, Zhao Peng also plans to manufacture human machine tools such as drilling machines, boring machines, etc. With drilling machines, the speed of producing barrels can be greatly improved, and the drilling machine can also produce the latest rifled guns.

The rifled rifle, it feels good to think about it. No matter how powerful the archers of the Qing army are, can they be more powerful than the rifled rifle of the scattered soldiers? Moreover, the rifled rifle can snipe the key generals of the Qing army.

However, all this takes enough time, and the key to gaining time lies in how long Li Zicheng in the north can hold on. In short, the longer Li Zicheng can hold on, the more beneficial it will be to the Ming Dynasty.

"Brother, the Jiannu mission will arrive in the capital soon." A spy from the Jinyiwei sent back a message.

Zhao Peng turned around and asked Gao Wencai: "Who in the court is promoting peace talks between our court and Jiannu?"

Gao Wencai replied: "Most of the Dukes in the court supported the alliance to defeat the enemy, especially Shi Ge Lao."

"I have to go to the palace quickly and explain the situation when facing the saint. If the enemy really joins forces to pacify the enemy, my Ming Dynasty will be in danger!" Zhao Peng said a word and quickly went back to change his clothes to prepare to enter the palace.

Zhao Peng returned to the former Duke of Wei who was temporarily acting as his mansion, changed into a purple flying fish suit, stepped on his waist with a jade belt, and hurried to the Forbidden City.

When entering the palace, Zhao Peng did not go directly to find Emperor Shaowu Zhu Cilang, but ran to Rouyi Palace to find Princess Kunxing.

"Zhao Lang, you are here," Seeing Zhao Peng coming in, Princess Kunxing threw herself into Zhao Peng's arms with joy, buried her head in his arms, but suddenly pushed Zhao Peng away, "Zhao Lang, are you satisfied with getting along with Wu Xiaomei these days?"

"Your Highness, Wu Xiaomei is the daughter of the sect. Wu Xiang was killed. The two brothers were detained by Jiannu again. I also sympathized with her, so I let her live in the military camp. She knows some martial arts and has learned military tactics. She is still capable of leading troops to fight." Zhao Peng explained, but his explanation was obviously far-fetched and a little weak.

Princess Kunxing suddenly smiled: "Hehe, how could I blame Zhao Lang? Zhao Lang has great kindness to my Zhu family. If it weren't for you, Zhao Lang, my mother and the prince's brother were still trapped in the north, and maybe they would have died. Zhao Lang has also been kind to the Wu family, but Wu Xiaomei is a lady after all, she is neither a palace maid like Miss Fei nor a firework woman like Kou Baimen. Isn't it suitable to be a young girl?"

Zhao Peng walked forward, hugged the princess, and gently stroked her long hair: "Princess, Peng cannot give her any name, so he temporarily kept her as a female general in the army, and could command the female camp of the Jinyiwei. Otherwise, it would be too unreasonable to be led by a man in the official camp of the Jinyiwei female doctor."

Princess Kunxing nodded gently and said "um" in her mouth, like a docile kitten.

Zhao Peng said: "Princess, Peng entered the palace today. There is a 100,000 urgent matter to see your emperor brother. Let's go together."

"Well, Zhao Lang, let's go." Princess Kunxing nodded.

Although Princess Kunxing did not object to Zhao Peng looking for another woman outside, Fei Zhen'e has been unhappy these days. When she heard Princess Kunxing call herself, Fei Zhen'e walked out and gave him a fierce look when she passed by Zhao Peng. You must know that Fei Zhen'e has a generous personality and a very hot temper. Otherwise, how could she kill Li Zicheng's beloved general Luo Hu in the original time and space?

On the way to the Qianqing Palace, Princess Kunxing asked, "What's the matter with Zhao Lang to find my emperor brother?"

"It is a major event that concerns the life and death of the Ming Dynasty. If we want our Ming Dynasty to last forever, we must firmly oppose the plan proposed by the Dukes in the court to unite the enemy and suppress the enemy. Only by uniting the enemy to resist the enemy can we save our Ming Dynasty! Otherwise, after the thieves are defeated, the next one will be our Ming Dynasty!" Zhao Peng expressed his opinion to Princess Kunxing.

Princess Kunxing's face darkened: "Zhao Lang, do you know that the one who killed my father was the riot? My Zhu family and I have an irreconcilable hatred. The initiatives of the officials in the court were also what my mother wanted. The Ming Dynasty and I have a deep blood hatred, how can we join forces with the thief?"

Zhao Peng said: "Your Highness, can you tell whether the matter between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty? If the Northern Song Dynasty could temporarily put aside hatred and unite Liao to fight against Jin, how could the Jingkang be ashamed? If the Southern Song Dynasty could temporarily put aside hatred and unite Jin to fight against Mongolia, how could there be a defeat in Yashan and the Han people to destroy the world? The current situation is so bad that it is comparable to the Southern Song Dynasty. The bandit army is difficult to support in front of Jiannu, and it is only a matter of time before the defeat. If the war is defeated, the next step for Jiannu is to drink horses and the Yangtze River and take straight to the south of the Yangtze River! Our army has not yet prepared, how can we fight against Jiannu? The current strategy is to temporarily unite the bandits, even if we do not unite the bandits, we should sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, wait for the bandits and Jiannu to lose both, and our army will revive the Central Plains in another northern expedition."

Zhu Mai was still a very intelligent woman. After hearing what Zhao Peng said, she suddenly realized, so she said, "Since that's the case, what Mom listened to Zhao Lang is. Don't worry, Mom will definitely help Zhao Lang persuade the emperor's brother."

The three of them walked out of Rouyi Hall together and headed towards the Ganqing Palace.

While walking halfway, Zhao Peng seemed to suddenly think of something, and attached himself to the princess's ear and whispered: "Princess, don't tie your chest with Miss Fei in the future. You are all quite big, so you have to tie it into a playground."

Princess Kunxing's face was flushed with shame, and pinched Zhao Peng's arm hard: "Shameless, think about something unreasonable all day long. If you say such things in the future, don't pay attention to me. Go and find your third sister."

Walking into the Ganqing Palace, Zhao Peng and Princess Kunxing knelt down and saluted Zhu Cilang at the same time: "I (the emperor) join Your Majesty."

"Emperor sister, brother-in-law, get up quickly, get up quickly." Zhu Cixuan greeted the two of them warmly.

When the two of them were flat, Zhu Cixuan asked again: "How do you and you have time to come to see me today? You are loyal and brave, don't you build a new army camp and build an army weapon bureau? Why do you come here?"

Zhao Peng bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that the captive chief Zakana, who was supposed to be executed on the day of the throne, is still alive now. I dare to ask Your Majesty why this is?"

Zhu Cilang said "Oh": "It turns out that Zhongyong Bo is here for this matter. I originally wanted to scatter Zakana in front of the Taizu Tomb, but the court opposes it and says that he will temporarily keep Zakana's life to negotiate with Jiannu."

"What's there to talk about with Jiannu?" Zhao Peng said.

Zhu Cilang sighed: "The officials in the court proposed to avenge their father's emperor, and the officials led by Shige Lao proposed to unite the enemy to pacify the enemy. Therefore, the life of the captive chief Zakarna was temporarily left to bargain only when they negotiate with Jiannu."

"Your Majesty, you are confused!" Zhao Peng said with heartache, "When Taizu expelled the Tartars and restored China, it led to the country of the Ming Dynasty for three hundred years. However, the officials in the court wanted Your Majesty to ask Your Majesty for help. Even if it was successful, how could Your Majesty meet Taizu again a hundred years later?"
