Chapter 163 Iron Rooster Pulling Hair

After leaving the palace, King Xin wanted to visit Wei Honglian at Xu Xianchun's house. Zhu Youcheng originally wanted to go with him, but was stopped by Wei Zhongxian.

The two found an unmanned front room and sat down.

Before Wei Zhongxian could speak, tears came down first. He said, "Cheng'er, grandpa regrets you, I didn't listen to you. When you advised me, I scolded you and said that you didn't respect your ancestors. I didn't expect that, but you still have a long-term vision."

Zhu Youcheng was confused and asked, "What's going on? Grandpa, tell me slowly."

It turned out that in recent years, Wei Zhongxian was full of ambition and wanted to repair the ancestral tomb. Zhu Youcheng advised him that the tomb was built too luxuriously and would cause unnecessary trouble. But Wei Zhongxian was displeased when he heard this and said that he was disrespectful to his ancestors and criticized him for a long time. Seeing that Zhu Youcheng could not persuade him, he said that this matter was just a private matter of the Wei family and had nothing to do with the great intention, so he ignored the matter. Unexpectedly, he approached Cangzhou City without getting stuck in mud and found the luxurious ancestral tomb of the Wei family in the suburbs, so he dug the Wei family's ancestral tomb and robbed all the burial objects inside.

Zhu Youcheng was also secretly angry. If you want to rebel, you should concentrate on doing a promising profession, forget it. Why did you change tomb robbing? Have you read too many tomb robbing novels? Although you are reincarnated, your body in this life may be the blood of the Wei family. If you don’t touch mud, you dug your own ancestral grave. Wouldn’t you slapped me in the face?

"National hatred, family hatred, family hatred, family hatred! Cheng'er, don't show mercy, teach them a lesson. The bandit leader is better to capture him alive, I will cut him into pieces!" Wei Zhongxian said viciously. "By the way, don't you want to be fired? I'll write you another note. That boy Gaodi is a wealthy slave. You go with the emperor's will. Although he dare not disobey the order, he will bring good news."

After coming out of the Forbidden City, the sun sets west, but it is still early. Zhu Youcheng estimated that the Ministry of War had not yet gotten off work, so he asked the guards to drive out the carriage from the children's playground and went straight to the troops to ask for artillery.

Gao Di did not leave the Ministry of War. When he saw Zhu Youcheng, he held his hand enthusiastically and praised him without any worries, as if he was close to Zhu Youcheng. However, when Zhu Youcheng said he wanted to borrow cannons, Gao Di frowned and said, "You are not in charge of the family and don't know how expensive the firewood and rice are. Now that the Ministry of War is poor and the arsenal is empty, you can't cast me into the cannons. In fact, I am willing to cast into the cannons. It is my lifelong wish to contribute to the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Youcheng frowned slightly. Although the Ming Dynasty has been in financial tension in recent years, it has been greatly alleviated since the reform of the salt administration in the third year of Tianqi. Sun Yuanhua also said that some artillery have been built one after another in the past two years. Sun Yuanhua and Gao Di's words are completely incompatible. It seems that it is the same as what Wei Zhongxian said. Gao Di is an iron rooster. He didn't talk nonsense and took out the emperor's imperial edict.

Gao Di's face froze. Isn't this cheating me? If you don't take it out, do you want to see me be fooled?

"Haha, today's weather... is really hot." He pointed to the guard. "Who, you go to the arsenal and move the cannons out."

A team of guards arrived behind, and after a long time, they carried out a few big guys in sweat, but they were the general's cannons. Zhu Youcheng looked at the rusty on the cannon, and didn't know which corner it was moved out. Zhu Youcheng stepped forward and touched the cannon body and found a line of inscriptions on the cannon, which was written in the fifth year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty. Damn, this is not a cannon, it is simply the ancestor of cannons, it is so old that it is.

Zhu Youcheng was so smart that he knew that Gao Di bullied him at a young age and did not know the performance of the cannon, so he fooled himself with antiques. Zhu Youcheng didn't argue, took out a note and handed it to Gao Di, and said, "Master Gao, Eunuch Wei has something to say to you."

Gao Di glanced at the note and his face stiffened again. You cheated, if you don’t take out the note, isn’t this bullying? Do you think it’s fun to change your face? I’m changing here, but it’s so hard.

"Haha, now there is a cool breeze coming, refreshing."

Zhu Youcheng looked at the weeping willows in the yard of the Ministry of War, and the branches were hanging quietly, without moving at all.

"You unopsy things. Lord Zhu went to the battlefield in person, how could he give them these things? Those things are for training for ordinary troops."

Gao Di scolded the guards and pulled Zhu Youcheng into the arsenal intimately.

After entering the arsenal, Zhu Youcheng's eyes were dazzled. There were a wide range of weapons there, dazzling. What are the swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, halberds, hooks, forks, whips, maces, hammers, grabs, thrusts, sticks, spears, sticks, sticks, sticks, sticks, crutches, meteors, only you can't find them. Zhu Youcheng secretly looked at the place where the muskets were stored, such as the three-eyed guns, crutches, guns... There are many varieties, but they are not as advanced as the muskets of Xizhen Fushi.

Gao Di gave Zhu Youcheng to the back and said, "Mr. Zhu, all the artillery is here, you can pick it and take it at will."

Zhu Youcheng saw that there were many types of artillery behind, such as red cannons, Francs, and tiger squat cannons... There were all kinds of artillery. The red cannons and Francs were heavy, and the tiger squat cannons were light and had two wheels, which was convenient for field combat, so he chose this light cannon.

He pointed at the tiger's cannon, and the guards came up and pushed the cannon out with all their strength. Twenty cars were pushed out, and Zhu Youcheng asked the guards to stop. Look at Gao Di, his face turned pale, and he probably would have to cry in the quilt tonight for half a day.

It’s not possible to have cannons, there are still shells.

Gao Yi pointed to the iron ball piled in the corner of the wall and said, "Mr. Zhu, the shells are here."

When Zhu Youcheng saw the hunt, he couldn't help but feel itchy. He couldn't help but reach into his arms and pressed his heart beating violently.

Gao Di's face changed again. The first note belongs to the emperor, the second note belongs to Wei Zhongxian. Who is the third note? Gao Di didn't dare to think about it, so he held Zhu Youcheng's arm and refused to let him take it out, saying, "Mr. Zhu, if you have something to say, don't use the note to press people at any time. These solid shells are beautiful outside, and high-end goods are inside."

Speaking of Shous, Gao Di took out the key and opened a small house in the corner. He saw that it was densely packed with iron balls, but the iron balls looked much more advanced, and they were all in anti-collision boxes made of wooden strips.

Zhu Youcheng knew that Gao Di had misunderstood, but he didn't say it out loud, pointing at the iron balls and asked, "What is the difference between this kind of shell and the shell outside?"

"The difference is so big. These are flowering shells, and they will be shot out, and they will explode one by one."

"Where is that gunpowder?"

"In the next room, you can move as much as you want. In order to help you defeat the enemy, I have ordered to transfer forty skilled gunners from the Shenji Camp to assist you in using the cannon."

Speaking of guard, Gao Di ordered to find forty skilled gunners from Shenji Camp to report to the Ministry of War.

Zhu Youcheng nodded with satisfaction and asked the guards to come in to carry the bombs. However, he not only moved the flowering artillery shells, but also some solid artillery shells. He thought it very clearly, the flowering artillery shells exploded the enemy soldiers and the solid artillery shells exploded the enemy city, so that he could maximize the advantages of artillery.

Looking at the shells and gunpowder brought out from the arsenal, he couldn't help but sigh at the advanced nature of the big open firearm. Turning to look at the small warehouse, he really didn't expect that so many advanced weapons were placed in such a narrow space. Zhu Youcheng suddenly remembered a huge disaster and his face turned pale. (To be continued)
