Why did Zhu Rong not hide anything about the flintlock from Minmin Moore?
In fact, it was very simple. Although he had hand-rubbed the flintlock, due to technical reasons, it was impossible for the people of the War Bureau to mass produce it in a short period of time, let alone assemble it into the Northern Expedition Army.
To put it bluntly, he was simply lying to Minmin Moore.
However, if this false information were to reach Kuo Kuo's ears, he would definitely be able to take flintlock guns into consideration when he deployed them in battle. After all, flintlock guns were too threatening.
But in reality, the Northern Expedition Army was not equipped with flintlocks at all. As a result, it was easy for the deployment of the expansion to be chaotic, giving the Northern Expedition Army a slight advantage.
The emperor is good at planning and attacking the heart.
However, Kuo Kuo was one of the few famous generals in Northern Yuan. It was hard to say if this trick could disturb his mind.
However, this was Zhu Rong's doing. Even if it didn't work, it wouldn't affect the overall situation.
"It's time to test the power of my hand-rubbed flintlock.”
The corner of Zhu Rong's mouth curled up slightly. After dressing up, he prepared to go to the War Bureau.
However, the moment he stepped out of the door, his personal guards came looking for him.
"Wangye, the guards are here!”
"Guardian Division?"
"What are they doing here?" Zhu Rong was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion.”
The Gongwei Division was the predecessor of the Jinyiwei. It was an intelligence officer that belonged solely to Old Zhu. To put it bluntly, it was a special agent.
"It's said that His Highness the King of Yan has gone missing!"
"Fourth Brother is missing?"
Zhu Xi had a strange expression on his face. Because of the delay in the construction of King Yan's Mansion, Zhu Di was still living in the palace. How could the inner court of the palace lose face?
Just as Zhu Rong was feeling puzzled, the guard continued,"His Highness the Prince of Yan came to the Prince's mansion late last night and forcefully asked for a hundred-household waist token. Will His Highness be implicated because of this matter?”
It was obvious that this personal guard also knew how powerful the Guardian Division was.
"It's fine. Just tell the truth to the people from the Guardian Division.”
Zhu Xiong replied nonchalantly," I didn't even see Fourth Brother last night. Moreover, Fourth Brother was the one who forcefully snatched the identity token. What does it have to do with me?"”
If he was not mistaken, Old Zhu probably did not allow Zhu Di to participate in the northern expedition.
Zhu Di did not yield, so he secretly ran out of the palace and hid in the military camp.
However, if Zhu Di really ran into Xu Da's military camp, he would probably be beaten up.
"Fourth Brother, you're on your own!"
Zhu Xiong shook his head and smiled faintly. Then, he walked toward the War Bureau with his hands behind his back.
The War Bureau was huge and heavily guarded.
Just as Zhu Rong had expected, he was stopped by the eunuch in charge before he even entered the door.
"Your Highness Wu Wang, your body of a thousand gold is really not suitable for entering the military. It's too dangerous.”
"If I let you in, His Majesty will definitely chop off this servant's head.”
"Please take pity on this servant and let this servant off.”
The eunuch begged as he retreated.
"Eunuch Liu, don't stop this king. Today, this king has an extremely important matter to attend to.”
Zhu Xiong kept walking forward.
The eunuch didn't dare to stop him and could only retreat.
However, he wasn't stupid. He knew that he couldn't stop Zhu Rong, so he gave a look to the young eunuch beside him.
He told him to quickly enter the palace to report to His Majesty.
"Your Highness Wu Wang, please be magnanimous and let this servant off!”
Eunuch Liu was on the verge of tears when he saw Zhu Rong about to enter the workshop.
"Eunuch Liu, this prince guarantees that Imperial Father will definitely not punish you for this.”
"Alright, move aside!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Xiong stepped into the workshop.
....
ciqing Palace
A young eunuch stumbled in.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Wu Wang is going to enter the War Bureau. Eunuch Liu can't stop His Royal Highness Wu Wang."
"What's wrong with this Fifth Brother?!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately slammed the table in anger and said angrily,"Is he allowed to enter a place like the War Bureau as he pleases? He really ignored our words.”
"Fourth Brother sneaked out of the palace, and Fifth Brother barged into the War Bureau. How did we give birth to such troublesome brats?”
Zhu Biao was also in Ciqing Palace. When he heard the young eunuch's report, he was so frightened that he immediately asked for forgiveness.
"Father, it's…"
However, before he could finish, Zhu Yuanzhang stopped him.
"Boss, what crime are you asking for this time?"
"Hurry up and follow us to take a look. Don't let that bastard Fifth cause trouble and affect the firearms manufacturing of this northern expedition.”
Zhu Yuanzhang flung his sleeves and took the lead out of Ciqing Palace, heading towards the War Bureau.
Seeing this, Zhu Biao quickly chased after him.
....
An hour later, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao finally rushed to the War Bureau.
However, as soon as he arrived at the War Bureau, he was stunned by a deafening gunshot.
"Who the hell dares to open fire in the War Bureau?”
"We want to destroy the other three clans."
Zhu Yuanzhang instantly exploded.
What kind of place was the War Bureau? It was filled with gunpowder. Normally, even open flames were not allowed, let alone shooting.
Which bastard was preparing to blow up the War Bureau?
Zhu Biao shrunk his neck. He suspected that the one who fired was No. 5.
But he did not dare to speak.
The people from the War Bureau saw that His Majesty had arrived.
Along with the eunuch in charge, everyone in the War Bureau knelt on the ground, trembling.
Eunuch Liu had also heard the loud noise just now. Who else could it be other than His Highness Wu Wang?
At this moment, he was on the verge of tears. He really didn't look at the almanac when he went out today and bumped into that lunatic Wu Wang.
If the War Bureau opened fire, even if he didn't do it, he, the eunuch in charge, wouldn't be able to escape punishment. He might even lose his head.
"Where is he? Where is that little bastard Zhu Rong?”
Zhu Yuanzhang asked loudly as soon as he entered the military station.
"Your Majesty, His Highness King Wu has entered the workshop in the backyard.”
Eunuch Liu replied shakily.
After knowing Zhu Rong's location, Zhu Yuanzhang strode towards the workshop in the backyard.
As soon as he arrived, he heard a burst of arrogant laughter.
"Haha, it's done!"
Looking at the muzzle that was still smoking, Zhu Rong said to himself in satisfaction,""The aim is very good."
"Hmm? What a big commotion!"
Zhu Rong turned around and was shocked.
Old Zhu's face was dark as he strode towards him.
He looked at the smoking muzzle, then at the dozen or so small holes on the wall that had been made by the flintlock, and then at the furious Mr. Zhu.
"Not good, we've caused a huge disaster. Damn it!”
Zhu Xiong instantly realized that a disaster was imminent.
He was filled with regret. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have tested the gun here.
He had been too excited just now and had forgotten that this was the War Bureau.
Opening fire in the War Bureau was like an old man eating poison.
"Alright, I was wondering which audacious bastard dared to open fire in the War Bureau. So it's you, you little bastard.”
The place was narrow, and the only exit was blocked by Zhu Yuanzhang's men. Zhu Rong had no way to escape and was caught by Old Zhu.
"Dad, it hurts, it hurts ~"
"My ears are about to be torn off by you!"
"Let go, Dad, let go!"
"Big brother, save me!"
Zhu Rong's face was twisted by Zhu Yuanzhang's tugging.
"You want Boss to save you? Stop dreaming.”
"I just taught you a lesson two days ago. You don't remember. Today, I'll definitely beat you to death.”
Zhu Yuanzhang grabbed Zhu Rong by the ear and walked out.
"Father, wait. I have something to say, I have something to say!”
Zhu Xiong begged for mercy.
