Chapter 166 Family World(1/2)
Bitter meat plan.
This is an absolute cruelty.
Yang Feng and the little princess looked at Zhu Yunwen who was crying with some shock...
This guy is really cunning!
However, it is still a bit too low-level to play this in front of Zhu Yuanzhang. Of course, it is impossible for Lao Zhu's mind not to see that even his daughter can see that Zhu Yunwen is seeking death, but it may also be that he is seeking death deliberately, or that he is still willing to die.
And the younger generation made it clear that he wanted to fight for the throne, so that Lao Zhu had to face this option.
He has no way out.
If he was honest before, then Zhu Yunxi might let him go after he succeeds to the throne.
Of course, it's just a possibility.
In fact, this possibility is unlikely. Since ancient times, people in his situation have basically met a dead end or been imprisoned for a lifetime. After all, his younger brother is not a good person. There is no mercy in this kind of struggle for the throne, and even if Zhu Yunxi can let it go
He, Lan Yu, and Chang Sheng who were around Zhu Yunxi were all ruthless.
They would not let Zhu Yunxi make such a mistake.
In short, he would have to be imprisoned even if he didn't kill him.
But after all, there is still some possibility of survival.
But now it’s gone!
It has been gone since the assassination of Zhu Yunxi, and the struggle between the two sides has been a life-or-death struggle.
He must die when Zhu Yunxi succeeds to the throne.
So there was no need for him to continue acting. He just openly announced that he wanted to fight. This obviously self-directed and self-acted assassination was to tell Zhu Yuanzhang that he wanted to fight for the crown prince. Be prepared to face the battle for the crown prince between his two grandsons and a son.
Right! Princess Lu must have guessed right. He has the support of some vassal kings. Otherwise, he would not have the courage. Why should he fight for what he wants? He must have supporters, and very strong supporters, before he dares.
The road was so smooth, and the only people left in the Ming Dynasty who had the strength to back him up were the vassal kings headed by King Jin.
Behind him is King Jin.
In this way the three major factions are clearly defined.
Zhu Yunxi, who had already obtained the position of prince, especially with the support of a group of military generals, tried to compete for the position of prince, Zhu Yunwen, who had the support of civil servants and vassal kings behind him.
In this way, Zhu Di became the weakest.
At most, he can only get the support of King Xiang. His real advantage is his invincible record. However, an invincible commander is not popular because he will be very powerful and neither the vassal king nor the ministers or generals will like him.
A strong emperor.
In this way, he received the least support, but fortunately his small circle was still united.
"I finally understand where these weapons beyond the control of the imperial court come from."
Yang Feng sighed with emotion.
King of Jin.
There is military manufacturing there.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang did not authorize him to manufacture magical muskets and flintlock short guns, the military manufacturing capabilities of King Jin were at the same level as the Ministry of Industry, and there was also Shanxi's iron smelting industry...
Shanxi's steel technology level was very high during the Ming Dynasty.
They could even use incense coal with very low sulfur content to avoid the sulfur problem of ancient iron smelting, and then smelt high-quality steel that could be directly used to cast Hongyi cannons. Most of the iron Hongyi cannons used on the Great Wall in the late Ming Dynasty were produced in Shanxi.
Production. To be precise, it is the Shannan area dominated by Jincheng, which relies on incense coal or low-sulfur anthracite, which is a specialty of the Yangquan area of Jincheng. So now they want to imitate these new models as long as they can obtain the structural drawings and part of the process flow.
The weapons are not difficult, and the Ministry of Works does not keep them secret.
Originally it was all managed by the Ministry of Industry.
It's a system.
As long as some internal operations are carried out and a few excellent craftsmen are transferred from the factory affiliated to the Nanjing Ministry of Industry, these weapons can be easily copied.
In fact, it's not just King Jin.
Several Sai Kings have this ability.
For example, the King of Liao.
The level of iron smelting in Liaoyang is also very high with the help of Yang Feng. For example, the four-wheeled carriages used more and more in Liaodong transportation rely on various parts and components manufactured by Liaoyang Iron Smelting. Even Yang Feng’s machinery in Huining
It's also produced there.
It can produce steel parts, and of course it also has the ability to manufacture flintlock guns.
Even Peiping also has this ability.
However, this kind of thing is illegal. There are restrictions on what kind of firearms they can make. At present, Zhu Yuanzhang allows them to make their own rapid-fire cannons, three-eyed blunderbuss, and old-fashioned Hongwu iron cannons. This kind of artillery is still widely used.
In use, it is a short-barreled thing similar to a howitzer. Yang Feng has even taught the Ministry of Industry about the explosive shells. However, because of the high cost, it is mainly used to shoot stone shells.
If this is the case, then the supporting vassal king should have made preparations long ago.
"It looks like your family is really going to be in trouble!"
Yang Feng said.
"It's all my fault that my father asked fourth brother to come back, but others thought he wanted to replace him!"
The little princess said very dissatisfied.
In fact, what she said was right. The root cause was Zhu Yuanzhang. He wanted to put some pressure on Zhu Yunxi, but he didn't expect others to think he wanted to replace him. In fact, you can't blame others for such things.
He first had an argument with Zhu Yunxi over the route issue.
This cannot be hidden from the outside.
Then those vassal kings, Liu Sanwu and others behind Zhu Yunwen immediately knew that there were principled differences between the ancestors and the grandson.
Then he suddenly asked Zhu Di to return to Beijing with a high profile.
Can you blame others for their random thoughts?
It can be said that there is an undercurrent surging. If you suddenly drop a bomb, can you blame the water for being disturbed? If he has shown that he is protecting Zhu Yunxi's status as prince from beginning to end without any wavering, then others may simply give up. Now he has put others
The thought came back again.
If you don’t blame him, who should you blame?
"It's difficult for him too!"
Yang Feng rarely defended Lao Zhu.
"What's wrong with him?"
said the little princess.
"me!"
Yang Feng said calmly.
"Well?"
The little princess was speechless.
Indeed, her father still has to consider the scourge of Yang Feng!
Zhu Yunxi was too bewitched by Yang Feng and was too young. He didn't know the sinister nature of people's hearts. He thought that Yang Feng's various reforms were for the good of the Ming Dynasty. However, Yang Feng's various reforms were indeed for the good of the Ming Dynasty, but they were not for the good of the old Zhu family.
It's hard to say. Zhu Yunxi saw the benefits of new education to the Ming Dynasty, and saw that new education could bring enlightenment to the people and a prosperous situation, but what Zhu Yuanzhang saw was that it would become increasingly difficult to maintain the family and the world after the people were enlightened.
The more the people know and understand, the less they can stand the parasite of the royal family, and they will want more things that are more beneficial to the people but not conducive to maintaining the imperial rule.
Zhu Yuanzhang was very sober.
But his grandson is too young.
In this case, Zhu Yuanzhang had to let his grandson understand some fundamental things.
After all, due to the emergence of Yang Feng, the water in Ming Dynasty is getting more and more muddy. Lao Zhu also has to face a new situation and face many things that he did not need to worry about in the past...
There are so many new things in Ming Dynasty now that he is a bit overwhelmed.
Even Tamar's assassination methods have improved.
In the past, it was extremely difficult to assassinate an emperor's grandson. There were a large number of elite guards around him, and it was impossible to get close. Even using a crossbow to snipe from a distance was useless. After all, everyone with this status had the best armor.
.And now two grenades flying from 20 meters away almost wiped out the Emperor Taisun and King Yan, not to mention the sniper kill from 50 steps away by the magic gun. Although it failed, if the Emperor Taisun wore the old-style armor
, that is really a dead end. And if someone randomly runs out on the street, he can draw a gun from his arms and fire at the emperor's grandson. Although this is self-directed and self-acted, it can still be done if it is not self-directed and self-acted.
!
This assassination method is very effective, after all, the short spear is only one foot long.
Just keep it in your arms.
He walked ten steps and pulled it out. Even the armor could not block the shot.
This is just the beginning.
To be continued...
