The cough...

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace East Warm Pavilion.

The emperor Zhu Yijun fell weakly on the bed, and the disease was bleak.His mate, Zheng, was at the bedside, taking good care of him.Fire Feng stood in front of the bed with a few pills and sniffed, “Which medicine is this too medically advanced?”

The emperor could not resist, and did not respond to the words of the fire.At the age of more than 40 years, Zheng Guifei was a little afraid of the drinking of fire Feng, and replied in a low voice: "Real people, this is the Xiandan sent by Cui Nei, a Shi Li Cui."

Fang Feng immediately sneered: “Xian Dan?Why didn’t the Emperor ask me about the medication?There is a yellow here, this is a laxative, you wish you man would die quickly?"

The princess was shocked, and even Zhu Yijun heard the quarrel and opened her eyes slightly.Fire Feng only sneered, “Forget it, anyway, your man’s life has arrived, and he will die.”Don't come to me if he's going to take any medicine, I can't handle it."

The fire turned around and left, only behind it was a dead bone in the trunchey.

Zheng Guifei wanted to stay but could not stay, but she could only fall back in front of the emperor's bed and cry.The atmosphere of the eunuch in the warm cabinet did not dare to come out, one by one, and one by one, she was afraid.Zhu Yijun, who lay on the bed, stretched out his thin arm and gently touched his woman's bun and gently comforted him: "Ai Xia Mo is crying, I know you are kind."I am the only one who has been with you in my life.”

The Queen is crying and it is difficult to ban her.

There was a little eunuch outside the warm cabinet who suddenly probed his brain and reported: "Shhsh, Fang Shou-su has just sent people to come to the good news, saying that the anti-spoker who intruded Gyeonggi was finally driven away by the Du general and fled to Tianjin."The Du Army is being pursued with men, and it is said that it will be destroyed in the middle of the month.”

This sounds really a great joy, and there is finally a smile on the emperor's face.He waved his hand and told himself to know, "Let the priest supervise the plan and reward the meritorious."

“Yes.”The eunuch bent his head.

The emperor suddenly thought of something, and continued to ask: "A few days ago, did not say that Liu Yi was surrounded by anti-spills in Tongzhou?"Why is this a chorus again?What about Liu Yi?”

The little eunuch was so dumb...

Although the emperor of the world did not go to the government for more than 20 years, but the thieves have all rushed to Beijing, and he had to come forward to ask.However, the Ming army was constantly playing by anti-thrabster, and the Li Li supervisor tried his best to choose some good news to present, but he could not withstand the war situation was too bad.The fire was angry, and the emperor's body was one day worse.

This will ask Liu Yi's whereabouts, the little eunuch does not know what to say.The emperor did not hear the reply for half a day, and couldn't help but ask in anger: "What about Liu Yi?"Wouldn’t he dare to fight?Can they not lose the war?”

The eunuchs said, "General Liu did lose the battle, and 40,000 horses perished."

“What?”The emperor heard a word, struggling to think of himself, "Liu Qiao lost, but Du Song won, the thief also escaped."You are so brave, are you a fool in the palace of bullying me for a long time?”

The eunuch knelt on his knees, and the princess of Zheng Guifu, in tears, persuaded her men not to be angry.Zhu Yijun's chest was violent, struggling to get up but was even more powerless, and his body was soft and breathless on the pier.When she looked at him, she looked pale and shouted to the eunuch, "Too doctor, go to the doctor."

Zhu Yijun leaning on the bed, even tears said to himself: "The country is difficult, and the people of the People's Republic of China even dare to deceive me and deceive me."They cheated, lied to me, and cheated me for decades.There is no faithful inside or outside the court, none of them, none of them."

The emperor's old son can't be sick, and the whole dynasty will also be wrinkled.In the Wenyuan Pavilion in the east of the Forbidden City, the first auxiliary university Shi Zhe is leading several heavy courtiers in the DPRK, and they will be sad with the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry and the general officer who has just entered the city.

Du Song sat half-seat and said in a deep voice: "Adults, the sharpness of this anti-thiopard firearm has reached the point where it cannot be fought."General Liu's army of 40,000 people surrounded the city, but the scene in the morning was all over.According to the generals who escaped back, the anti-thieves fired countless rockets at that time, far away and accurate.General Liu was two miles away from the front foot, and he was also bombed.

Not to mention the anti-thieves and heavy artillery fire and explosives, each of which is a military weapon.Although the anti-thief returned to Tianjin, it stuck the path of the northern transportation.If I don't want to reorganize the military, Jiangnan's food will not come this year."

It is better not to mention the food, and everyone is even more worried about the food.Even the first assistant must scold a sentence, "the thief is a bad, even break my way."There was an egg scolding, and the people could only look at the waiters who came to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War, and the War Bureau and the Ordnance Officer also sent officials and eunuchs to come.In front of them was a "Revolutionary Army" rocket that had not exploded because of the dumb fire.

The impact of the rocket on the ground has been torn apart, and the scene is a recovered fragment.The gunpowder in the rocket is naturally cleared, but it can also be seen in its original shape.In addition to the rocket, there is also a fire rope gun used by the guard female soldiers.For many days, female soldiers also suffered losses, and many firearms were lost.

Several technocrats first greeted the adults present and came to consult the mystery of this thief's weapon.Lord Dosondu said that if the Ming Army also has such a weapon, it will kill countless thieves, which is easy to do.Therefore, the military workers of Da Ming pondered to imitate such powerful ordnance.

The wooden shell rocket, at first glance, is a large monkey.However, Zhao Ze's manufacture is actually called the Hal rocket, which belongs to the British "Congriff rocket" in the future.The difficulty of this technology lies in the rear wing spin, which has requirements for processing accuracy.In the eyes of the big Ming bureaucracy, this is not a wooden shell with black gunpowder, there are ready-made samples, it should be very good to make it.

Several tech-savvy bureaucrats met for a while, but it didn’t seem difficult to look at the samples in front of them, and they all nodded that the rocket could be built.It’s nothing more than a thief, it’s more beautiful.But there is no shortage of good craftsmen, and it can be made better than it.

It can create a work, and the first one is followed by a great joy.They also asked whether the fire of the thief could be made?The answer is naturally also yes - the fire thorn of the Great Ming Dynasty is a universal equipment, and the quantity is very large, that is, the quality is too poor to explode, and the officers and soldiers do not like to use it.Just a lot of money from the court, naturally have durable fire thorns to create.

Rocket fire wand can be built, and finally talked about artillery.

That's trouble.

In the First World War, the rocket was extremely powerful, but the damage was not great.The most ferocious and the most impressive thing for the Ming army is two short-barreled heavy guns of 150 mm caliber.After Zhou Qingfeng led the team to withdraw, Du Song personally led the team to check the formation of the anti-thrabster in the Tongzhou city wall, with the intention of cracking the secret of the anti-thrabster facing tens of thousands of horses but solid gold soup.

Hundreds of corpses in the direction of the gunfire were not cleaned at all, and the bloody scene was clearly placed in front of the Ming Army.In particular, the last 100 meters of the distance was attacked by shotguns, and the ground was fierce, and no one was shocked.There are many artillery pieces, but there is no model that can be compared with them.

To say heavy guns, there is also a big light.But it was a huge city guard that could not move thousands of pounds.It was quite troublesome to carry, and there was absolutely no possibility of following the troops in the march.Small-calibre Franco cannons have proven to be useless, small in power, and unbeatable, and not at all the opponents of anti-thieves.

"I am a great man, Jedi Ling, who is out of the way, can't I make an equally sharp gun?"It is not a shame to say this.

Several technocrats bent down were in their hearts.The Ming Dynasty Junjie is a lot, but they will only sing poetry, when the officials make money, understand the gun can not find a few.Just a first question, no answer is not enough.People who understand technology are at least straightforward, not to create, but they still give a solution.

"Lord Fang, I am very clear that there is indeed a lack of gun art, but the people of Taisi are often proficient in this way."Before, there were the Confucian turmads, who were proficient in astronomy, and had a good understanding of me.Sadly, this number died years ago.

However, there are still many Taixi people in Beijing, and Zhanshifu Zuo Chunfang's left praise is good Xu Guangqi or can help contact craftsmen who are good at casting guns.His disciple Sun Yuanhua is also proficient in Western learning, especially good at making guns, and can also solve the problems for the court.In addition, it is rumored that the people of Taixi occupy the mirror as a port in Guangdong, and have an artillery factory, and can also build guns for my army."

The late firearms technology was backward and forced to learn some scientific knowledge from Western missionaries and merchants.The casting technology of this gun is one of them.Fang first-hand heard that he wanted to learn from the people of Taisi, but it did not matter, nod his head and let people arrange it.

It’s just a way of being strong, and there’s no money.

Fang's head was wrinkled, and the people in the household shouted to discuss it.In a word – money!

Money is not a problem, the problem is no money.

At present, Jiangnan's tax is blocked by anti-throws, so it can only focus on the north.But the northern economy is too far behind the south.It’s hard to get taxes.Think about it, think about it, there is only one idea - to collect the pay.

Two cents per acre.How much you can get up is not known.After all, the silver of the south is not expected now, and the agricultural destruction in the north is extremely serious, and it is not known how much money can be collected.A waiter in the household had another idea - if you don't abolish the post, you can save some money.

The postage of the Ming Dynasty was a wonderful thing, and officials could not pay for accommodation, and they should eat and drink freely, which in theory was a benefit given to the lords of the court.As a result, as long as people with a little relationship with officials are running to fight the autumn wind.But the money given by the court was not enough, so that the manager of the post office had to pay for the officials themselves.

At present, the grain is cut off, and it can save a little bit, and the first support will agree with the situation.

Then someone proposed: "There are many rich households in Beijing, and there are countless treasures in your country.Not long ago, the court sent them nine months of food in one breath, and it is better to ask them to donate to the country?"

"No, not yet."Fang first auxiliary this time the head of the shaking and rattle like a rattle, "forced donation will be boiling to the sun, hundreds of officials hate, this is not appropriate, inappropriate."He directly blocked the road, without any discussion, "at present, stability is the weight, no need to increase the right and wrong."

The state is finished, and the tax is not levied on the richest official squire, but on the poorest and most unpowerful people, or withholding the cable to save some seemingly unnecessary expenses to survive.This is the way to extend your life in the morning.

After a business was discussed, the head of the party also felt quite tired.During this time, he was under a lot of pressure from the field, and he barely maintained the broken house of Daming like a musketeer.Under the storm, the house was shaky and about to collapse, but no one who lived in the house refused to contribute, waiting for another wrong head to come out.

At this point, Fang first-hand just wants to go home and rest.But when he came out of the Wenyuan Pavilion, a small eunuch rushed in and shouted, "Your excellency, the emperor has called you into the palace."

“What’s the matter?”

“The emperor is very sick and too much for a doctor.Call the grown-ups, for fear of something unsatisfying.”

Fang first-hand was suddenly surprised and thought: "Wonderful, it's not good to call me at such a time."“Emperor, can’t you?”
