However, this blueprint was indeed what Zhu Yunhao urgently needed.
As long as he could mass-produce this flintlock, he would be invincible.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yunhao did not hesitate and directly exchanged the blueprint.
Then, a blueprint appeared out of thin air in his hand.
Looking at the blueprint in his hand, Zhu Yunhao was not too happy.
The production of flintlocks might not be difficult, but mass production was not so simple.
Zhu Yunhao's resources were limited. If he wanted to mass produce them, he would definitely need more resources.
Although Qiongzhou had a lot of resources, it was very difficult to mine them. Qiongzhou did not have enough manpower to mine them.
Although he had 200,000 craftsmen, he didn't have a single craftsman who could make such firearms.
Only the imperial court had craftsmen like the flintlock gun, and they specialized in making firearms for the imperial court.
These craftsmen were basically protected by the imperial court, and even their families were strictly controlled by the imperial court.
It was very difficult to find it among the people.
Therefore, if he wanted to make this flintlock, Zhu Yunhao had to do it himself and teach a group of craftsmen. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to mass produce it.
However, all of this required time.
What Zhu Yunhao lacked the most now was time.
He didn't have much time left, and it was getting closer and closer to the time when Zhu Di, the King of Yan, would launch the Battle of Jingnan.
Zhu Yunhao had to enter the game at the same time as Zhu Di launched the Battle of Jingnan.
Otherwise, once Zhu Di succeeded, he would be in a passive position.
"The hunting team has been out at sea for more than a month. I hope they can catch more slaves this time. This way, their progress should be faster.”
……
At the same time, Zhu Yunhao quickened his pace.
Zhu Di, who was far away in Beiping, also began his own plan.
In a cellar under a pigsty.
Countless topless craftsmen were hammering away at weapons.
Zhu Di sat on a chair with his hair disheveled. His eyes were ruthless and murderous.
His three sons stood on his left and right.
Zhu Di's eldest son, Zhu Gaochi, was a little worried.
"Father, the Imperial Court is monitoring us even more closely now. We won't be discovered, right? We're making armor right under their noses. If we're not careful, something bad might happen.”
The second son, Zhu Gaoxu, said in a rough voice,
"Scared my ass. At most, we can just rebel in advance. Our Zhu family is not afraid of death.”
Zhu Gaosui shook his head calmly and said,"
"Big Brother, Second Brother, don't worry. This is called darkness under the light. They definitely won't expect that there's such a big cellar under this pigsty.”
Zhu Di listened to his three sons and remained silent.
He was enduring. He had been enduring.
Zhu Di really didn't want to rebel. He really didn't want to.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have pretended to be crazy and hid in the pigsty for an entire year.
However, his nephew had gone too far. He had reached the point where he could not tolerate it anymore.
Prince Xiang's death was a fuse.
Zhu Di knew very well that Emperor Jianwen's next target would be his family.
In fact, if Emperor Jianwen only wanted to cut off the military power and power of these vassal kings, it would be fine.
However, look at how ruthless Emperor Jianwen was. Some were demoted, some were stripped of their titles, some were imprisoned, and he even forced the King of Xiang to death.
No matter what, they were the elders of Emperor Jianwen. Even if they wanted to cut off their vassals, they couldn't be so ruthless.
This did not give the vassal kings a way out at all.
If he, Zhu Di, didn't rebel, wouldn't he be waiting to be slaughtered?
Zhu Di had been hesitating and struggling until Zhu Gaochi's first son was born.
She looked at her first grandson, who was so small and cute.
Only then did Zhu Di make up his mind to rebel.
He, Zhu Di, had never been a person who would sit and wait for death. Even if he had to fight, he would fight for a way out for his descendants.
"Don't talk nonsense with me. Now tell me how many weapons have been forged, how many armors have been forged, and how many death warriors are in position.”
Zhu Di waited for the craftsmen to forge the armor and said fiercely.
"Father, we've already made five hundred short crossbows, eight hundred battle sabers, and more than four hundred armors. Now, the eight hundred dare-to-die warriors reared in the mansion are all in position. As long as Father gives the order, we'll charge out and kill Xie Gui, Zhang Xin, and the other sons of bitches.”
Zhu Gaoxu shouted.
"We can't. There are countless pairs of eyes watching us in the Imperial Residence. If we don't get rid of them and let them go back to ask for help, we will definitely be surrounded by the army outside the city. Now that Father's subordinates have been transferred away, if we act rashly, it will be no different from sending ourselves to death!”
Zhu Gaochi hurriedly stopped him.
Zhu Gaoxu did not agree.
"What are you afraid of? If you die, your eggs will face the sky. If you don't die for tens of thousands of years, you might as well go out and kill to your heart's content!”
Zhu Gaosui was silent for a while before saying,"
"What Big Brother said is not without reason. Father, can we think of a way to get rid of those people who are watching outside? "This way, we can go straight to the government office. After capturing the thief, we can first help the king. Then, we can send people to recruit all of father's subordinates. This way, won't we get twice the result with half the effort?”
Zhu Di narrowed his eyes and asked Zhu Gaosui,"
"Do you have any ideas?"
Zhu Gaosui whispered into Zhu Di's ear.
After Zhu Di heard this, he pondered for a moment and suddenly stood up.
"Good! We'll do as you say. Do this immediately. Everyone, listen up! The uprising will happen tonight!"
Zhu Gaochi was shocked. He didn't expect his father to start a fight without giving him any time to consider.
Zhu Gaoxu was overjoyed and shouted,
"Yes, sir! Tonight, watch me kill! I've been holding back for a long time!”
Zhu Gaosui didn't say anything and turned to leave.
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaosui's departing figure and muttered to himself,"
"Jianwen, you're my good nephew. You made me eat pig feed for a year, I'll definitely repay you.”
A great change in the Ming Dynasty was about to begin.
