Amidst the eight thunderous roars, everyone covered their ears.

"Ahem!"

Amidst the thick smoke, Zhu Zhanji was choked and coughed.

When the smoke dissipated and I looked at the courtyard wall of Ji Gang's mansion, I saw that the original five or six meter high courtyard wall had become dilapidated.

Under the collapsed walls, from time to time there were one or two unlucky people who were pressed by the fallen walls and were still struggling and screaming.

This large general cannon looks amazingly powerful, but this time it only uses solid shells.

As long as one shot is not directly hit by the shell, it will basically have no killing effect.

The damage is basically caused by being hit by a wall collapsing or being splashed by something else.

But in general, the damage caused by solid shells to buildings is still very huge.

The more than 100-meter-long courtyard wall will have a big hole wherever it is hit. Even the wall next to it is shaky, fearing that it will collapse with just a slight push.

This is still using solid bullets to bombard buildings.

When the two armies are facing each other, the general's artillery will use smaller shotguns, one shot at a time, like an enlarged version of a shotgun. After one shot, Zhu Zhanji estimates that not many of these people will survive.

But relatively speaking, the range of shotgun shells will be shorter. In comparison, solid shells are more suitable for destroying buildings, while shotgun shells are more suitable for dealing with living people.

Think about the scene on the battlefield, where a cannon blasts out a cloud of scattered shells, and then the enemy is directly killed and wounded. In fact, the power of this kind of cannon is quite impressive.

However, the biggest drawback was the smoke of black powder. After a burst of shelling, the entire artillery position was covered by gunpowder smoke.

Zhu Zhanji waited until the smoke had almost cleared, then looked at Xiaosniu and Jin Zhong aside and said:

"Send orders to Dongchang and the Yulin Army to rush in. Anyone who resists will be punished on the spot!"

"I (servant) accept the order!"

The two of them saluted accordingly, nodded, and then waved their hands and began to convey Zhu Zhanji's orders to the following:

"Pass the grandson's order, and anyone who resists will be punished on the spot!"

"Pass the grandson's order, and anyone who resists will be punished on the spot!"

"kill!"

…………

…………

The sound rang three times, and with the word "kill", groups of imperial guards and eunuchs from the East Factory quickly transformed into two groups and rushed towards the collapsed courtyard wall.

Amidst the shouts of killing, a group of dead soldiers also rushed out of Ji Gang's mansion and quickly faced the Imperial Forest Army and the people from Dongchang.

Swords collided, and occasionally cold arrows were shot. Without the courtyard wall, in comparison, the Yulin Army and Dongchang were more skillful in cooperating, and they also had the upper hand in numbers.

The dead soldiers who rushed out were quickly killed and returned.

As more and more Imperial Guardsmen and Dongchang eunuchs rushed in.

Gradually, the battle line began to deepen into the courtyard, and the courtyards and corridors were quickly divided into small battlefields.

Obviously, without the wall, not long after the siege started, the winner was almost decided. Although these dead soldiers in Ji Gang's mansion were more familiar with the terrain, they faced obvious resistance against the more numerous Yulin Army and Dongchang.

Just in vain.

As the screams became less and less, the sound of swords clashing became smaller and smaller.

Zhu Gaochi walked up to Zhu Zhanji, touched Zhu Zhanji with his arm, made a fat face, and whispered:

"Son, our family is tied to you this time. If no evidence of Ji Gang's rebellion can be found in Ji Gang's yard, just wait for your grandfather to come back directly with the army!"

Seeing that his father was still frightened at this time, Zhu Zhanji was speechless and comforted in a low voice:

"Don't worry, Dad, I'm not stupid. Since I want to deal with Ji Gang, I will definitely beat him to death with a stick. If no evidence can be found, can't I arrange some evidence on the spot?"

"How many evidences should be arranged at the scene?"

Zhu Gaochi was stunned when he heard the words, and for a moment he didn't realize what he meant.

But Zhu Zhanji didn't say anything more, but looked at the other officials and said:

"The rebel gang has surrendered. Sir, would you like to go in with me and see what is hidden in this mansion that is heavily protected by Ji Gang?"

It's come to this. At this moment, these ministers have no way to look back. They all nodded when they heard this.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhanji laughed. He should say it or not, but his silly father had managed the country for so many years and still had considerable power in the court.

In fact, most of these officials belong to the prince's party, and even some officials in important positions are directly from the prince's palace.

He was also extremely supportive of his grandson.

If another dynasty had such a prince, he would have been feared and guarded by the emperor long ago.

But Lao Zhu's family is a weird one. It can be said that Lao Zhu's family is definitely the most humane royal family in all dynasties.

Although Zhu Di often pulls Zhu Gaochi out to scare him, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi cooperate very well.

One is in charge of fighting, the other is in charge of government affairs, one is civil and one is military, one is internal and the other is external.

The emperor is not like an emperor. He abandons the government at every turn and leads a group of subordinates to appease the old generals, which is like a personal expedition.

Being a prince is not like a prince. Zhu Di has been in power for twenty-two years, and Zhu Gaochi has been in charge of the country for almost half of the time.

It can be as short as a few months or as long as three or four years. Except for his status, he is almost the same as an emperor!

In addition, the prince was famous for his kindness, which naturally led to almost all the civil servants in the court firmly siding with the prince.

Naturally, Zhu Zhanji, the emperor's eldest grandson, would naturally gain the support of these people.

"Let's go, dad, let's go see it together!"

Zhu Zhanji looked at Zhu Gaochi, who nodded, and then, with the support of Zhu Zhanji, took the lead in walking towards Ji Gang's mansion.

Yanyun's Eighteenth Cavalry stood firmly guarding the two of them. Ji Gang was also carried by the two Eighteenth Cavalry, and a group of people walked into the courtyard that had just been built with copper walls and iron walls.

Passing through the door that had been opened from the inside, the imperial guards and eunuchs from the East Factory carried the corpses still dripping with blood and transported them to a spacious grassland.

Fortunately, many civil servants present had experienced the crisis and were not unfamiliar with such scenes.

At most, he would be so stimulated by the smell of blood that he would cover his nose with his sleeve, and then start looking around expressionlessly!

It has to be said that Ji Gang's appointment as commander of the Imperial Guard for so many years was definitely not for nothing.

This mansion covers an area that is almost as large as some royal palaces. There are various decorations, many of which are tributes sent to the Ming Dynasty from neighboring countries, as well as many buildings, even inside the palace.

An extremely rare treasure!

"hiss……"

As everyone was walking, the prince Zhu Gaochi who was walking in front suddenly stopped in his steps, with a look of shock on his face. He threw away Zhu Zhanji's support and walked to a place that was almost ten meters long when spread out in a few steps.

In front of the calligraphy screen, he exclaimed:

"Yang Shiqi, come and see, is this the "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" painted by Wang Ximeng, a court painter of the Northern Song Dynasty?"

Hearing Zhu Gaochi's exclamation, a large number of officials were immediately attracted.

Suddenly, the ten-meter-long scroll was crowded with civil servants.

Even Zhu Zhanji, the grandson of Zhu Zhanji, was squeezed out of the crowd without knowing who.

"A Picture of Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains?"

Zhu Zhanji stood outside the crowd, glanced curiously, and then looked at Jin Zhong, who didn't know whether it was because his old arms and legs couldn't stand the torment, and asked:

"Is this painting valuable?"

Hearing this, Jin Zhong subconsciously repeated: "Is it very valuable~?"

He pronounced the word "?" very hard!

Zhu Zhanji nodded. There was only two words in his eyes right now, making money. Apart from making money, everything else was empty to him.

If this painting cannot be exchanged for money, it would be more practical to get two golden beans!

Seeing Zhu Zhanji nodding, Jin Zhong suddenly looked disgusted and said: "Vulgar, vulgar is intolerable!!!"

After saying that, Jin Zhong's old face suddenly turned to the side, and even his body instantly took a few steps away from Zhu Zhanji.

You look like I'm not familiar with you!

Zhu Zhanji: "???"

Am I being disliked by this old man again?

He glanced at Jin Zhong and felt that he and the old man couldn't urinate together.

He just can't understand, what's wrong with vulgarity?

Doesn’t he just like vulgarity?

How to make money if you are good?

How can you live without making money?

Pouting his lips, Zhu Zhanji moved his eyes, and then quickly noticed Xia Yuanji who was admiring the paintings on the other side.
