Li Laohan saw that Zhu Youxiao was very satisfied with the musket he had built. His old face turned into a smile, and he bowed and said: "Long live my lord, this musket that I built, let alone fire two hundred shots in a row. Even five hundred shots will be fine. If you can¡¯t get five hundred shots, I will take the little old man¡¯s head!¡±
Zhu Youxiao patted Li Laohan on the shoulder and said: "This head of yours is very precious, and I would never want to part with it. I just ask you elders to live a long life and bring more brains to us in the Ming Dynasty." Some master craftsmen come out!"
Li Laohan's eyes filled with tears when Zhu Youxiao said that. He wiped his tears and said: "Long live my Lord, don't worry, I will definitely not hide my secrets. I will pass on this skill intact. When I go back, I will follow them." The old guy said that if anyone dares to hide his secrets when leading a disciple, I will fight him to the death!"
Zhu Youxiao gave some kind words of comfort, then pulled Li Laohan aside and asked in a low voice: "Has the new colored glaze I asked you to make finished?"
The tears in Li Laohan's eyes have not yet dried, but at this moment he showed a hungry wolf-like gaze, nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, Long Live Lord, the thing has been made, pure and transparent, I have been working on it for a lifetime." Liuli¡¯s Wang Ben¡¯s eyes were swollen from crying, but according to your instructions, only the general supervisor and us old guys know about this matter!¡±
Zhu Youxiao frowned when he heard that so many people knew about his secret mission, but he didn't say anything more. He praised Li Laohan a few more words and asked him to leave with his musket!
After Li Laohan left, Zhu Youxiao looked at the four adults who had been standing aside for a long time and said, "What do you think of this musket?"
Zhang Weixian, who has been appointed Minister of the Ministry of War, immediately raised his thumb and said: "This musket can hit far and has great power, especially the emperor's marksmanship is superb, but this thing is obviously a musket, why does the emperor call it a musket?" Woolen cloth?"
Only then did Zhu Youxiao remember that guns in this era only referred to long guns, and muskets were called fire guns. However, Zhu Youxiao didn't feel any embarrassment. He just smiled and said: "Fire guns are originally from The sudden musket evolved from the Song Dynasty, so there¡¯s nothing wrong with calling it a musket, right?¡±
Zhang Weixian immediately bowed and saluted and said: "So that's what happened, I learned a lesson!"
Zhu Youxiao turned to Fang Congzhe, Liu Yishui, and Xu Guangqi and asked: "I wonder what the three adults think of this new musket?"
Fang Congzhe said: "This new type of musket is indeed a sharp weapon in the army. If distributed among the army, it will definitely be able to defeat the enemy. However, it is too powerful and the army should not be equipped with too many, otherwise there will be disaster!"
Zhu Youxiao rolled his eyes and sneered: "Mr. Fang Ge is still too petty. Naturally, such a good thing needs to be equipped with a large number of armies. If I have a hundred thousand musketeers, it will be enough to stabilize the world. If I have fifty Thousands of musketeers, even if they hit the horizon, it won¡¯t be a problem!¡±
Liu Yishen couldn't bear to hear the kind of militaristic remarks that Zhu Youxiao often made. Even though he had just been entrusted with an important task by Zhu Youxiao and was shocked by Zhu Youxiao again, Liu Yishui had the kind of militaristic remarks in his heart. The deep-rooted conservative ideas of Confucianism have not changed, so Liu Yishen must speak at this time!
"Your Majesty, it is said that even if a country is large and prone to war, it will surely perish, and the affairs of the military strategists are always unknown. Please think twice, Your Majesty!" Liu Yishuo's words were quite satisfactory, and there was no fireworks at all, but he seemed a lot more respectful!
"Yes! Mr. Liu Ge is right. It is not a good thing to go to war. But Mr. Liu only remembers the first sentence, but forgets the following sentence. Even if the world is peaceful and forgets to fight, it will be in danger. What's more, it is not a peaceful age yet. Donglu, Mongolia is enough of a headache for us. There are also enemies coming from afar on the sea. Macau and Taiwan are occupied by Westerners. They have traveled thousands of miles to come across the sea for land and wealth, but now their strength is insufficient. So we can only be sea traders and pirates. But if one day they become powerful enough, they will drive and slaughter us like livestock. By then, the ancestral temples, Taoist traditions, and ancestral halls will all be turned into powder, Mr. Liu Ge "Should we start preparing now, or should we sit back and wait for the disaster to come?"
Zhu Youxiao made a long speech, and Liu Yisui was dumbfounded. He looked at the other three people. Fang Congzhe and Zhang Weixian, like him, both looked stunned and confused, but Xu Guangqi frowned and seemed to understand better!
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for my stupidity. The Northern Huru have always been a serious problem in the Central Plains. You have come and fought with me for thousands of years, but the Central Plains is still the Central Plains, and the Han people are still Han people. How come those red-haired barbarians are more powerful than the Huru? Do you want to destroy our ancestral hall and destroy our culture?" Liu Yishen has now learned to be sensitive and eager to learn, so he is not ashamed to ask, since he does not understand Zhu Youxiao's??, just ask clearly!
"You can ask Xu Shangshu about this, he will tell you why!" Zhu Youxiao pointed at Xu Guangqi and said!
Three surprised eyes flicked to Xu Guangqi, who was still frowning. Fang Congzhe cupped his fists and said, "Xu Shangshu, please clear up our doubts!"
"Alas!" Xu Guangqi sighed and said, "I made good friends with the Westerner Matteo Ricci in my early years. From him, I learned that all Western countries believe in Catholicism, and Catholicism is a monotheistic religion. All people who do not believe in God are Those considered heretics will be burned to death!¡±
Fang Congzhe frowned slightly and said: "There are countless gods and Buddhas in the world, and there are even more countless believers. Can those red-haired people kill everyone in the world?"
Xu Guangqi shook his head and said: "As far as I know, wherever they go, if the local people are strong, they will preach and do business with them. If they are weak, they will kill their people and seize their land!"
Liu Yishen snorted coldly, clasped his fists at Zhu Youxiao and said: "These people are no different from bandits. I ask your majesty to issue an order to expel all the people from the Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Youxiao was still very satisfied with Liu Yishen's xenophobic attitude. He smiled and said: "What Liu Aiqing said is absolutely true. However, since the Yuan Dynasty BC, an Italian named Marco Polo returned to Europe from China and wrote After a biography called "The Travels of Marco Polo", Westerners who were originally just fighting in their own land began to explore the entire world. It can be said that they now understand and are more familiar with this world than we do. Although their character is not very good, I think it is still necessary to learn from their strengths and eliminate their weaknesses!"
Fang Congzhe twisted his beard and smiled and said: "The Master said that among three people, there must be a teacher from me. Choose the good ones and follow them, and change the bad ones. Your Majesty is well versed in these three flavors!"
"Hahahaha!" Zhu Youxiao said with a laugh, holding his hands behind his back: "What Mr. Fang Ge said is true. Our great dynasty must not only have the courage to lead all nations to do good, but also have the heart to tolerate all nations. In the past, we had no courage. If you don¡¯t have a big heart, you will know that you are living in your own small circle and you are really unworthy of the name of the Celestial Empire. Therefore, I want Liu Gelao to start a new study, which is to revive Confucianism and make Confucianism easy to understand and all-inclusive. , is on the road to benefiting all directions, so I think the new study should be named Universal Study, which means universal study. I wonder what Mr. Liu Ge thinks?"
Where can Liu Yishen care about anything else at this time? He quickly bowed and said: "Old minister, I think this is very good!"
Seeing that Zhu Youxiao was so ambitious, Xu Guangqi was moved in his heart and saluted: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask your Majesty's permission to recruit people from Macao to train the army!"
Zhu Youxiao knew that Xu Guangqi had indeed made such a request in history, and that the Ming Dynasty had indeed recruited more than twenty European officers. However, due to language and military system barriers and other barriers to communication, these people were only retained for less than half a year. Fired!
Now Xu Guangqi put forward his own suggestions based on the historical context. In addition to letting Zhu Youxiao lament the great inertia of the wheel of history, he also felt that this was a good opportunity to launch his own money-making plan!
