Chapter 183 East Factory uses cannons to handle the case

"Execute all!"

Zhu Youxiao left this sentence directly.

Since Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, Dongchang has been strengthening its strength for more than two years, and its eyes are already densely spread to the government and the country. Therefore, Zhu Youxiao can more powerfully eliminate those who are unfaithful to him.

When several scholars like Kong Wenxiu travel together, the Dongchang's eyeliner will take the opportunity to intervene in to prevent these scholars from gathering together to design any conspiracy.

Once you find out who is dissatisfied with the court or the emperor.

Zhu Youxiao will not be polite either.

Naturally, it is directly eliminated by the body.

Although Zhu Youxiao admitted that he was cruel, he just refused to let others say that, and he would be killed if he said that.

Otherwise, Zhu Youxiao would feel sorry for his name as a tyrant.

Anyway, Zhu Youxiao no longer cared about anything but reputation. Now he would rather force everyone in the world to say that he is the emperor of the ages against his will than let these people who scold him generously by ruthlessly.

Just like Emperor Renzong of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Youxiao admired Zhu Gaochi's internal affairs ability very much, but he disagreed with Zhu Gaochi's behavior of being angry because a civil servant criticized him.

In Zhu Youxiao's view, as an emperor, it is not okay to reason with reason if he wants not to be scolded. He has to cut off his head and his mouth will naturally be sealed.

Even if the knife cuts hard enough and has a little bit of eye ability, his head will automatically close his mouth and know how to use his head to direct his mouth to say good things.

Of course, in this way, some people will definitely say that if you block the way of speech, you will cause thousands of horses to be silenced and will break the backbone of scholars in the world.

But after summarizing history, Zhu Youxiao found that those who like to argue are not necessarily hard-working.

Zhu Youxiao remembered that on the eve of Li Zicheng entering Beijing, a person named Guang Shiheng refused to let Chongzhen move south. He tried his best to argue, and seemed very tough. As a result, he turned around and threw himself into Li Zicheng.

In Zhu Youxiao's view, if the person who truly represents the backbone of China is really dissatisfied with the Hu Lai emperor and wants to resist tyranny, he will not be silly behind his back and call himself a tyrant, but will enjoy the privileges given by his tyrant, but will directly raise an army to rebel, and then say "Is there any kind of king, prince, general, and minister?"

"I am the destiny of heaven. All power in the world is granted by me, and the power to speak is also granted by me. I cannot just say whatever I want."

Zhu Youxiao looked at Wei Zhongxian leaving and said something in his heart.

...

A section of canal in Jinghai County.

Kong Wenxiu, Huang Daozhou, Zhan Jiasheng and his sons were heading south on a luxuriously decorated ship.

Although the canal has been frozen now, Kong Wenxiu still took a boat, because it is more comfortable to take a boat than a carriage. Moreover, the interior of this luxurious ship is like a brothel, which is naturally more suitable for them to enjoy the snow while walking.

As for the power, it is naturally provided by the boatman along the river.

The boatmen used ropes to pull the big ship forward on both sides of the canal. Although it was very slow, it was indeed more stable than riding a carriage.

However, these people use public funds.

In the Ming Dynasty, it was a common phenomenon that officials and scholars invaded post stations.

The officials of the post station along the way naturally did not dare to offend these juren with different families, and were forced to spend money to hire nearby boatmen in the name of the post station to pull boats for Kong Wenqiu and others.

Therefore, when the people from the Dongchang arrived here, they saw a large ship decorated with lights and colorful ship slowly advancing on the frozen canal.

There were unclothed boatmen on both sides of the boat staggering forward in the snow, shouting horns and exhaling like fog;

The scholars on the boat laughed loudly in the warm cabin, and sometimes there were women laughing.

"Stop this ship!"

Fei Han, the head of Dongchang, who was responsible for carrying out this task, shouted at this time.

Suddenly, the two teams of Dongchang soldiers wearing black clothes came to this big ship, like two dragons. They soon stood side by side on the frozen river surface, standing between the white snow fields.

These Eastern Factory soldiers came with cannon trucks.

Because Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Tianqi Emperor merged the Military War Bureau and the Military Weapons Bureau into the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau and recruited a large number of craftsmen. After using the reward system to increase the enthusiasm of craftsmen, the output of the Ming artillery showed an exponential increase. Although the efficiency of a single craftsman casting guns did not improve much, there were many people in the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty's artillery production capacity is very high and the equipment is abundant. Even the secret agencies like the Dongchang have their own artillery.

Now the Dongchang military service plans to directly bombard the big ship with artillery, and is too lazy to send people to chase it, so as to avoid casualties caused by the slaves on the ship. After all, many powerful people also have their own thugs and even privately hide firearms. Therefore, Dongchang often has to handle cases in the form of war.

As for gunners, Dongchang is not short of them.

Because there were many retired camp soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, the East Factory recruited a large number of retired camp soldiers.

In Zhu Youxiao's view, these retired camp soldiers are people with military skills, and it is a waste to let them retire and return to their hometowns. Moreover, once these retired veterans go bankrupt, they either become bandits or join wealthy families as wealthy slaves and thugs. In either case, they will increase social instability and increase stability maintenance costs for the court. It is better to recruit them as the emperor and keep them for their own use.

Anyway, Zhu Youxiao has money now. He relies on Shanggong Supervisor to buy spinning machines for the Xu family and run cotton yarn and Chongwen Store to distribute dividends. In addition to saving tens of millions of taels of silver in the treasury, the treasury has also made a lot of money every year, and it is no problem to spend a lot of money to hire these battalions and soldiers to enrich the Dongchang and Jinyiwei.

Therefore, this is also a benefit for the emperor after he has money. With money, he can naturally hire professional soldiers and enhance the power of the imperial power.

Many of the foreign soldiers who came from the camp in the East Factory were veteran gunners in the border towns. They were very skilled in the artillery and accurate.

Therefore, after these Eastern Factory soldiers appeared behind the ship, they immediately began to fill in bullets and ignite the artillery rope.

boom!

boom!

boom!

Soon, several cannons rang out.

The shells of the Folang machine cannon hit the big ship, piercing the cold air, and directly hitting the big ship.

The big ship suddenly shaking violently.

Kong Wenzi, who was in the boat, didn't know what was going on. He was holding a woman and pecking around, so he pecked directly on the ground and smashed his front teeth on the spot.

Soon, a woman screamed.

Kong Wenqiu also cursed with a bloody mouth: "How did those boatmen pull the boat? Believe it or not, I let someone beat them to death! Damn it, let them come in the forefront!"

But at this time, the ship shook violently again.

Kong Wenxiu sat on the ground with a "Ouch".

The other picks also screamed.

Huang Daozhou was also unable to stand firm for a moment and looked outward, but the people from the East Factory who discovered it was shocked: "It's the East Factory, the people from the East Factory! They have artillery!"

At this time, Xiao Yingtou of Yidong Factory also shouted: "Dongchang handles the case! Stop the ship immediately! Get off the ship and kneel down, otherwise, kill it without any hesitation!"

The boatman who pulled the boat began to stop consciously when he saw this scene.
Chapter completed!
