Chapter 1085 The change in Myanmar
Princess Kun Xingchang's glasses are very thick, with half an inch of the lenses. After wearing this thing with an elegant appearance, it slightly destroys the beauty. This may be the reason why she is unwilling to wear glasses.
Xu Mingwu coughed dryly, bowed slightly, smiled awkwardly and politely, and said, "I have seen Your Highness the Princess!"
Now he has the title of "Academician". The Ming Dynasty, who attaches importance to scientific researchers, is equivalent to a fifth-rank official in the court.
Princess Kunxing Zhu Ma was also a little embarrassed, but after a moment he returned to his normal expression, the blush on her face slowly subsided. She changed into an experienced smile and asked, "Xu Mingwu... are you here all the time?"
"Go back to the eldest princess, I have been here..." Xu Mingwu replied with a grudge.
The eldest princess was upset and asked, "Then why didn't you salute me? Sitting there like a human being? Do you despise the royal family?"
Xu Mingwu was confused. As expected, women turned against each other faster than reading a book!
He mustered up the courage to say, "Your Highness, Your Highness, you misunderstood. How dare you disrespect Your Highness? I heard that the eldest princess is only one year younger than Your Majesty, and suddenly saw a young and beautiful woman coming in. I thought she was your highness's assistant secretary or a little palace maid serving Your Majesty. I never expected that the beautiful girl who seemed to be only twenty years old was actually your deity, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, You are the one who was not good at eyes and offended Your Highness, and you deserve to die..."
As he said that, Xu Mingwu was full of self-blame.
Upon hearing this, the eldest princess was stunned at first, then covered her mouth and giggled: "My dear nephew is really good at speaking."
Xu Mingwu smiled harmlessly and replied: "What I say is the heartfelt words. Your Highness is as light as a chrysanthemum, with dignified appearance, beautiful and beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, and beautiful, and beautiful, and beautiful, and the wind in the water palace brings the fragrance of pearls and jade…"
The eldest princess raised her hand to stop and smiled and said, "I have been in the yard for many years. I have encountered many geniuses, even more weird-minded. My nephew is extremely clever and has a lot of tongues. It's really rare. Sit down!"
Xu Mingwu smiled awkwardly and thought to himself that this eldest princess is really a smart person and is not easy to fool. Fortunately, the effect is almost achieved.
After such mediation, the eldest princess' embarrassment was completely relieved and she was in a good mood.
Women like to be praised for being young and beautiful, especially middle-aged women, who are more eager for this.
Who dares to praise her for being beautiful in person in the Ming Dynasty? Xu Mingwu's slutty remarks directly filled the effect! The two sides unknowingly established a good and harmonious relationship.
The eldest princess was sitting in the middle of the sofa, and Xu Mingwu was sitting in the corner next to the sofa. The more she looked at the young man, the more she liked him. She asked with a smile: "I have seen your hot air balloon performance. My nephew dared to ascend to the sky. It can be said that he is both wise and brave. The Royal Academy of Sciences needs talents like you!"
Xu Mingwu stood up and saluted respectfully, "I thank His Highness the Princess for the praise. I will continue to work hard to win glory for Your Highness and be loyal to the Ming Dynasty!"
The eldest princess pressed her right hand and said gently: "Nephew, sit down and talk. The Royal Academy of Sciences here does not pay attention to the rules outside. You can just treat this palace as an elder and relax."
"yes......"
Xu Mingwu was secretly happy. The eldest princess has such a good personality. She has a chance to play Princess Zhaoyang!
Princess Kun Xingchang seemed to be very interested in hot air balloons and discussed a lot with Xu Mingwu. Xu Mingwu drew pictures and explained them, and even extended to the idea of the plane.
In addition to talking about hot air balloons and planes, Xu Mingwu talked about electric lights and batteries on the spot.
According to his guess, the eldest princess's eyes were highly myopic, perhaps due to the poor light of this immature electric light...
These thoughts surprised the eldest princess and looked at this talented "nephew" even more differently.
"My nephew, today's Japanese Palace asked you to come, and there is a task left to you."
"Your Highness, please say that as long as it is the task you assigned, I must complete it with all my strength when I go through fire and water!" Xu Mingwu patted his chest and promised.
The eldest princess smiled slightly and said, "This morning, I just received the will of His Majesty to allow the Royal Academy of Sciences to build 100 hot air balloons within one month and transport them to the front line of Myanmar. You also know that your invention has been listed as a military confidential equipment and cannot be undertaken by the Ministry of Works."
"Your Highness, will there be a war in Myanmar?" Xu Mingwu said curiously.
The eldest princess hesitated and said without changing her face: "Yes, the King of Myanmar Mangbai invited Duke of Qian Mu Tianbo to Yunnan officials to drink water and swear together on behalf of the Ming Dynasty to show that the two countries are reconciled. Duke of Qian did not know that there was a fraud and went to the appointment. Unexpectedly, he was surrounded by the 3,000 Burmese army in Myanmar, and more than 30 officials of the Grand Governor's Office were killed..."
"What?" Xu Mingwu stood up suddenly, stared at the eldest princess and said, "Then is my brother okay?"
He suddenly remembered the difficulty of cursing water in history! The Yongli regime of the Southern Ming Dynasty was taken down by the Burmese army!
After the Burmese army murdered the Ming entourages, they flocked into the residences of the monarchs and ministers of Yongli to loot women's property, and gathered 25 people including Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang, Empress Dowager, Empress, Prince, etc. in a small house, and insulted the rest of the personnel and the families of the entourage officials.
More than a hundred people, including Liu, Yang, King Ji and concubines of Emperor Zhu Youlang, hang themselves to death. The Yongli court station was in a mess, with corpses everywhere, shocking, and it was called "The Difficulty of Cursing Water".
"These dog-good Burmese people!"
Xu Mingwu was so anxious that he was sweating. His fists were tightly clamped, and he was very worried about the safety of his brother Xu Mingde.
The eldest princess comforted her warmly: "According to the report from the Southern Army Governor's Office, your brother Xu Mingde escorted the Duke of Qian Mu Tianbo to break through the siege. His whereabouts are still unknown, so it should be fine..."
Xu Mingwu looked anxious, but still worried, and bowed deeply to the eldest princess, saying, "Your Highness, please come to Myanmar. I hope your highness will plead with Your Majesty, and I will go..."
Princess Kun Xingchang said: "What's the use of you going? Your Majesty asked you to step up the creation of hot air balloons, just to send troops to Myanmar and reduce casualties. You should focus here. Let the frontline soldiers go for war."
"My minister...follow the order..."
Xu Mingwu's eyes were dim and he immediately left.
Along the way, he condolled to the 18th generation of ancestors of the Burmese King Mangbai, and vowed to make hot air balloons to kill the dogs!
And Gatlin, such a national humiliation, it is necessary to have this killing weapon to slaughter the Burmese army in order to avenge the shame!
In the following period, Xu Mingwu changed his lazy state and went to a military factory directly under the Royal Academy of Sciences during the day to supervise the manufacturing of hot air balloons.
In the evening, he entered the laboratory and worked with several major military and industrial academicians of the Royal Academy of Sciences to overcome the technical difficulties of copper bullets.
Xu Mingwu's serious hard work and a tenacious spirit of study were deeply appreciated by several academicians. Even Vice President Sun Heding came to hear the news and participated in the bullet research plan.
As the leader of military industry research in the Ming Dynasty, the addition of Sun Heding, the tycoon of gun research, has made the research project of the Ming Dynasty bullets more and more progressed rapidly.
