Emperor Zhengde had already learned from Wu Shan that Zhou Chong had some special gifts to give to him, but Wu Shan didn't know what gifts they were, so now that he could also get along with the Folang machine cannon when he heard that Zhou Jin gave to him.

Bi's gift surprised him, and he said, "Zhou Chong, take out your gift quickly and see, what kind of gift is actually comparable to the Florian cannon?"

Seeing Emperor Zhengde's face full of excitement and looking like a big child, Zhou Chong couldn't help but smile slightly. He turned around and took a long box from a entourage, opened it himself and presented it to him, "Please, Your Majesty, please."

Look, this is a telescope developed by Caomin. Although it cannot be used as a weapon like a cannon, its purpose on the battlefield is not worse than any weapon!"

What Zhou Chong took out was a long cylindrical telescope. Each box contained five, two boxes in total. Emperor Zhengde was confused when he heard the name of the telescope, because he really thought in his mind.

What does a so-called telescope do?

Seeing that Emperor Zhengde didn't understand, Zhou Chong took a telescope from the box, then adjusted the focal length and presented it to Emperor Zhengde, pointing to the distance for him to see. As a result, Emperor Zhengde just put one end of the telescope on his eyes.

He was immediately startled because he felt that the scenery in the distance had been pulled closer a lot. This feeling made him very uncomfortable. He even thought it was a spell, so he almost threw away the telescope in his hand.

However, after the initial shock, Emperor Zhengde soon discovered the benefits of the telescope. The distant scenery that was not clear was enlarged by the telescope, and it suddenly seemed to be in front of him. It looked very clear. This was for him

It's definitely a very interesting thing.

I saw Emperor Zhengde playing for a while, then he put down the telescope with unfulfilled pleasure, and said with excitement on his face: "Not bad, the name of this telescope is indeed very appropriate. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes today, I

I can't believe that there is such a wonderful thing in this world that can bring the scenery in the distance closer and see it very clearly. Well..."

When he said this, Emperor Zhengde's face suddenly changed, and then he showed a contemplative look. After a while, he suddenly said with some ecstasy: "Haha, so that's it. I understand that this telescope is not just for

If you are here to play, if you use it on the battlefield, then my generals of the Ming Dynasty will hold a telescope in their hands. You can discover the enemy situation early, and when commanding on the battlefield, you can see the situation on the battlefield more easily. This is simply

A weapon tailor-made for generals!”

Emperor Zhengde has two major hobbies, one is fun and the other is martial arts. Although he doesn't like reading those sage books, he is familiar with military books. It can be said that he has extremely high military literacy, otherwise in a few years.

He would not defeat the little prince Lai Fan later. Therefore, Emperor Zhengde soon saw the military value of the telescope, and to some extent, the value of the telescope is higher than that of the artillery.

Seeing His Majesty the Emperor was so excited, Gu Dayong beside him, Qian Ning and others were a little confused, and at the same time they were even more curious about the telescope in Zhou Chong's hand. However, Emperor Zhengde soon asked Zhou Chong to distribute the telescope to everyone, but as a result,

After they saw the magic of the telescope with their own eyes, they were also extremely shocked. Qian Ning and several other warriors, like Zhengde, thought of the role of the telescope on the battlefield, and they all showed an excited expression and looked at Zhou.

The eyes of Chong are a little different.

"That's great. With the Folang cannon and this telescope, it will definitely greatly enhance the force of our Ming Dynasty. If the Mongols dare to go south again in the future, I must let them remember a profound lesson!" Emperor Zhengde

He walked back and forth in the same place excitedly for a few times, and suddenly ordered again, "Come here, go and prepare a banquet. Today I will be drunk with Zhou Chongyi before I can stop!"

Zhou Chong would have taken this opportunity to deliver several other gifts together, but seeing Emperor Zhengde's excited look, he probably didn't have the time to listen to himself about the significance of sweet potatoes and corn, so he thought in the end.

After a moment, I decided to wait until the banquet was at that time, Zhengde calmed down before delivering other gifts one by one.

It can be seen that Zhengde is indeed very concerned about military affairs. Next, he took Zhou Chong to the training ground in front. While visiting the drills of Shenji Camp, he asked Zhou Chong about the Flang machine artillery and telescopes.

Zhou Chong did not hide these things, after all, he knew that Wu Shan must have reported the situation at Shuangyu Port to Zhu Houzhao.

So Zhou Chong told the story of his introduction of the Florian craftsmen, and at the same time he also told the story of the Portuguese expedition from Europe and occupying the Indian route, and then entering the South China Sea soon, hoping to attract the attention of Zhengde.

Unfortunately, Zhengde seemed not very interested in the overseas situation, but was very interested in the Florian craftsmen. He asked many questions for this. When he learned that the Europeans advocated not to take a bath, he even laughed.

Zhou Chong and Gu Dayong crossed the entire capital and arrived at Shenji Camp. It took nearly two hours. Now he met Emperor Zhengde and visited Shenji Camp. As a result, it was soon dusk, and the soldiers were in the afternoon.

The exercise was also completed, and everyone had a simple scrubbing and prepared for supper. At this time, the banquet ordered by Emperor Zhengde was also ready.

However, Zhengde did not take Zhou Chong to the banquet immediately, but stood outside the canteen of Shenji Camp. Looking at the soldiers rushing for food below, they did not speak, and the people next to him did not dare to disturb Zhou.

Looking at Zhengde in front of him, although he didn't know whether his guess was correct, Zhou Chong always felt that Zhengde seemed to yearn for such a military life. If possible, he should even hope to let go of his identity as the emperor and be rude with those below.

The dirty soldiers rushed for the unsavory meals together.

After a while, Zhengde turned around and left the canteen, and then took Zhou Chong to a grassy field next to the training ground. What Zhou Chong did not expect was that a large tent used for marching stood here, which made him even more unexpected.

Yes, this marching tent turned out to be Zhengde's residence in the military camp these days, and it is also the place where he meets guests and handles government affairs.

Looking at the tent that was not very comfortable in front of him, Zhou Chong turned his head and looked at the barracks not far away. Although the barracks were not gorgeous, he felt that they were much more comfortable than the tent. Unfortunately, Zhengde

However, the emperor had this kind of hobby. He couldn't live in a good house, but he liked to live in a tent.

After entering the tent, Zhou Chong found that a banquet had been arranged inside. What surprised him was that this banquet was not like the standard of an emperor's banquet. All the wine and dishes were placed on a table, and two chairs were placed opposite each other.

It seems that Emperor Zhengde planned to drink with him at the same table. Although Zhou Chong didn't know much about the rules in the palace, he also knew that he was sitting opposite the Emperor of Ming Dynasty and drank opposite each other. If this was spread, I'm afraid those of the Ming Dynasty.

The censor will scold himself to death.

"Zhou Chong, I feel that we are very destined to see you. And you also gave me two important weapons for the Ming Dynasty. In addition, this is a military camp rather than a palace, and there are no monarchs and ministers in the military camp, so you don't have to

We are bound by some common etiquette, let’s sit down and eat and chat!” After entering the defeat, Zhengde immediately spoke. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to really regard Zhou Chong as an equal friend.

After hearing what Zhengde said, if it were someone else's words, he might still not dare to sit down, but Zhou Chong's concept of monarch and minister was very weak. Moreover, in his opinion, Zhengde was just a young man a few years older than him, and was in Songjiang Prefecture with him.

The friends were similar, and there was no awe in their hearts, so they did not refuse. After thanking him, they sat down with Zhengde one after another.

After sitting down, Zhou Chong realized that the banquet prepared by Zhengde was also very distinctive. The several large porcelain bowls were filled with large pieces of meat, either steamed or cooked, and the types were different.

A charcoal stove rose in one corner, a little eunuch turned a grill, and a roasted golden lamb was skewed on it. The mud seal on the wine jar had been photographed open, and a strong aroma of wine was emitted, making people feel

Just smelling it makes me feel a little drunk.

I saw Gu Dayong poured two bowls of strong wine for Zhengde and Zhou Chong, and then Zhengde smiled and said, "Zhou Chong, I had wanted to see you for a long time, and even wanted to go to Songjiang in person, but unfortunately the group in the court

The old stubborn people would never agree, so they had to do it in the end. Unexpectedly, you came to the capital, which made me very happy. Come on, let’s do a bowl of food!"

Zhengde said as he picked up the wine bowl in front of him. Zhou Chong did not dare to neglect it. He immediately picked it up and drank it all with Zhengde. After drinking it, Zhengde immediately called Zhou Chong to eat the food. After all, he prepared a strong wine and drank with an empty stomach.

If it is, people will easily get drunk.

After drinking a bowl of strong wine, Zhou Chong felt much more relaxed. At this time, he also realized that Zhengde had calmed down from his previous excitement. He thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, Cao Min has prepared a few things for coming to the capital this time.

Special gifts, including artillery and telescopes, have been presented to Your Majesty, but there are several other special gifts, I hope they can be given to Your Majesty in person.”

After getting the cannon and telescope, Zhengde was already very interested in Zhou Chong's remaining gifts, so he was also happy after hearing this, and immediately said, "Hurry up! Come on, I heard from Wu Shan that you are not only

The artillery was prepared, and there were two kinds of food crops brought by the Folang Ji people. They looked very novel. I had wanted to see them for a long time!"

Seeing that Emperor Zhengde only regarded corn and sweet potatoes as two novel grain crops, Zhou Chong laughed in his heart, not knowing what would Zhengde react when he told the planting advantages of sweet potatoes and corn and the amazing yield?
