Ming Dynasty: The Rampant Crown Prince

Zhu Cihong found an excuse to dismiss the palace maids and eunuchs, and came to the school yard alone, and at a glance, the entire venue was large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people.

Now is the time when the palace guards are on duty, so there is no one, so Zhu Cihong released the white horse Yicong.

"Ding~ is releasing the White Horse Righteous Servant, once released, it cannot be recovered. Suddenly

, I saw that the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and the next moment it was all over the school field, and Zhu Cihong, who was blown by the wind, closed his eyes, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a group of white horse cavalry densely appearing in the school field!

All of them were wearing soap clothes and chain mail, holding spears, and hanging big bows on their backs, all of them were mighty and extraordinary!"

I saw a mighty man with a body of one meter eight dismounted, walked to Zhu Cihong, knelt on one knee, and roared, followed by the five hundred cavalry behind him, and also dismounted, knelt on one knee, and let out a heaven-shattering roar in unison!

Zhu Cihong smiled happily, this group of light cavalry, the advantage is high mobility, long-range shooting, used to fight against the Houjin Eight Banners Iron Cavalry is the best, and once they dismount, they are also an elite infantry.

"Get on the horse!" Zhu

Cihong laughed.

"Your Highness, please go up to your subordinates.

At this time, Gao Yi led his white horse over, and after helping Zhu Cihong on the horse with his own hands, he led the horse and walked slowly.

"Good horse, handsome and strong.

Zhu Cihong showed a bright smile, touched the hair of the white horse, and couldn't help but sigh.

Five hundred white horses slowly walked across the stone floor of the palace, and the hooves of the horses were hurrying, and a group of white horses made a loud hoof in their noses, spewing out a string of white gas, and making a long neighing sound.

A vigorous white horse cavalry walked in the palace, and all the palace maids and eunuchs who passed by shouted again and again, and the guards rushed over, but when they saw that His Royal Highness the crown prince was the leader, they dispersed one after another.

Zhu Cihong rode a white horse to the outside of the Imperial Horse Prison, then dismounted and walked in.

"Slave and maid Imperial Horse Supervisor Lu Jiude knocked on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Chitose!" Lu Jiude

was sitting in a rocking chair drinking a little wine, and suddenly saw a person walking in, and immediately the frightened wine glass fell to the ground, and he hurriedly ran over and knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Come out with Hongu.

Zhu Cihong said and walked out first.

Lu Jiude walked behind and didn't know why, why did this prince's daughter's body suddenly run away from the Imperial Horse Prison, and when he went out to take a look, he was suddenly startled.

A group of white-horse cavalry stood outside, imposing, which was not comparable to the soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion.

"This is the personal soldiers of the palace, you arrange a camp for them, and then the white horse is also taken care of, dare to be a little slack, the palace has killed you alive, do you hear clearly?"

Zhu Cihong turned around and said with a smile.

Looking at the smile of the prince, Lu Jiude's heart jumped violently, the prince has recently taken over power, and no one dares to provoke him, so he is naturally a good student.

......

In the following days, Zhu Cihong had been waiting for the three people that Jinyiwei had come to find, and only when those three people arrived could they develop agriculture and gunpowder, as well as rectify the Beijing camp.

Most of the time in the cabinet to discuss politics, learn to Xi to govern the country, and then wait for the news of Jinyiwei's raid, and Qian Qianyi also came with news, saying that the plan to raise people is going relatively smoothly, although there are not many people raising donations along the way, but it has also achieved initial results.

A month later, Zhu Cihong finally received the news from Jinyiwei, saying that Qian Qianyi's family property had been copied and all of it was taken to the capital, and in addition, Wei Zaode, Chen Yan and other six people's hometowns did not have much property, less than 10,000 taels, and the fertile land was 800 hectares, so that all of them were confiscated, handed over to the local government, and distributed to the local people.

On this day, Li Ruolian took a group of people, and carried hundreds of large boxes, shuttling through the entire palace, and carried them into the East Palace in full view.

"Chen Jinyi Wei Dai commanded Li Ruolian to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Chitose!" Li Ruolian

said: "The minister lived up to his high expectations and has confiscated all Qian Qianyi's family property, of which 28 shops have been auctioned off on the spot, all of which have been converted into cash, a total of 2.2 million taels of silver and 20,000 taels of gold.

"And the 800 hectares of fertile land have been handed over to the local government and distributed to the people. With that

, Li Ruolian took out an account book and handed it to Zhu Cihong.

"Qian Qianyi is really rich, and he deserves to be a great writer in the south of the Yangtze River, and he can spend money and build a mansion for Liu Ru.

Zhu Cihong took the account book and opened it, and immediately smiled, of course he was happy to save money for him.

"Point out 100,000 taels, you give it to the brothers.

Zhu Cihong handed over the account book to Qiu Zhizhong and said, "Move these into the inner treasury of the palace." "

Thank Your Highness for your grace!" Li

Ruolian looked at the prince's bold appearance, and was very excited, eager to go to the house for the prince every day, thinking in his heart: No, it seems that I have to investigate more corrupt officials.

After that, Qiu Zhizhong showed Zhu Cihong the account book of the East Palace, and the present silver amounted to a total of 5.1 million taels of silver, 100,000 taels of gold (1 million taels of silver), various jewels converted into 1 million taels of silver, and 300,000 stones of grain.

It can be said that Donggong is extremely rich!

Looking at Qiu Zhizhong's happy look, Zhu Cihong is the queen, this money is not used, and it will disappear in a blink of an eye.

Three days later, Zhu Cihong finally waited for the person he thought about day and night, Bi Mao (mao four sounds) Kang.

"Minister Nanjing Hubu Shilang Bi Maokang See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Chitose!" "

After Bi Maokang received the summons order from Jinyiwei in Nanjing, he was surprised in his heart, how did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince think of looking for him, don't look at him as a household squire, a member of the Sanpin, but in Nanjing, basically they are all fictitious positions with no real power, far inferior to the officials in the capital.

"Qiu Zhizhong, sit down.

Zhu Cihong put down the teacup, and then took out the drawing of the flintlock pistol from his bosom and put it on the desk.

This Bi Maokang was also a weapons expert in the late Ming Dynasty, but it was a pity that the Ming Dynasty at that time had no money to develop on this, and a good talent was transferred to do what Nanjing Hubu Shilang and took care of food, isn't this a professional mismatch.

Fortunately, he is a traverser, as if he has a God's perspective, otherwise he will have to take many detours.

Qiu Zhizhong immediately moved a chair over, and during this time, the palace received many ministers, except for the first assistant of the cabinet who was given a seat, this was the second one to be given a seat by the prince.

"Your Highness.

Bi Maokang was terrified, and sat down carefully, but his buttocks were only half touched, thinking to himself what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had come to do with him, which made him very frightened all the way.

This prince was only ten years old when he was able to supervise the country, and he also killed six ministers in a row, and the emperor did not blame him, he was not a simple person at first glance, and when he saw it today, he didn't look like a ten-year-old person at all.

"This palace has seen the illustration of your weapon, how much do you understand the flint gun in it, and can you develop it now?"

Zhu Cihong said directly to deal with the doubts in his heart, and got straight to the point.

"I am deeply honored.

Bi Maokang's face was excited, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was actually interested in firearms, so he said: "When Chongzhen was eight years old, the minister was already studying this flint gun, but it was not perfect enough. (At this time, flint guns had not yet been popularized in Europe, and the technology was not yet mature.)

"Now that I am in turmoil, there are Houjin offenders outside, anti-thieves and natural disasters are raging, and only after the palace is in charge of the country can I understand the suffering of the people of my Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Cihong changed the topic, and suddenly sighed, revealing a sad face.

The prince is like this, and the fool also knows that there is something for him to do, not to mention that Bi Maokang does have the heart to serve the country, but he has no choice but to give full play to his skills.

"Your Highness has any matter, even if you are instructed, the ministers will go to the soup and fight the fire, and they will not give up.

Bi Maokang immediately knelt down and said.

"This palace plans to transfer you here to serve as a squire in the Ministry of Works, to be in charge of the War Bureau for this palace, and to specialize in the development of military firearms.

Zhu Cihong personally walked down and helped Bi Maokang up, which was so shocking that he didn't dare to deal with it.

"It's a great honor.

Bi Maokang showed an excited look on his face, and finally had the opportunity to show his strengths.

"Here, here's a drawing of a flint gun.

Zhu Cihong returned to his seat, and then pointed to the drawings on the table.

Bi Maokang was stunned for a moment, the prince already had the drawings of the

flint gun? He wanted to find a successful flint gun but couldn't find it, why did the prince even have the drawings?
