Chapter 11 Shenwu Cannon

Zhu Yuanzhang became more and more curious about Zhu Yunwen's mysterious gift. In the end, he couldn't suppress his curiosity and went to Zhu Yunwen to find him, but the answer he got was that the gift was not in the capital. If you want to see it, you must go to Zhu Yunwen's territory.

"Yunwen, can't you bring the gift to the capital?"

"no!"

"Why?"

"This is a secret. Grandpa Emperor must be there before he can see it."

"Oh well!"

Zhu Yuanzhang decided to go to Zhu Yunwen's fiefdom and checked the people's situation. In fact, everyone knows that he has obtained Zhu Yunwen's governance. After all, this is not the first time Zhu Yuanzhang did such a thing. He also visited Zhu Biao's fiefdom. Zhu Yunwen actually had no fiefdom. His fiefdom was actually the territory of his father Zhu Biao. Since his father's death, Zhu Yunwen took over the fiefdom. Zhu Biao's fiefdom was unique in geographical location, but the fief nearest to the capital was also the only barrier to the capital. This fiefdom was guarded by Zhu Yunwen's father-in-law Ma Quan, which also shows that Zhu Yunwen attaches great importance to this fiefdom.

"My good grandson, tell the emperor what kind of gift is that."

"Grandpa Emperor, I said that you must be there before you can tell you."

"real?"

Zhu Yunwen's tone was really very dense, and he refused to reveal the whole half of the sentence. In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang was too lazy to ask. After less than two days of travel, he finally arrived at Zhu Yunwen's territory, but at this time Zhu Yunwen made another request.

"Grandpa Emperor, we will see the gift tomorrow, but I am worried about seeing my gift for those who are interested."

"Yunwen, don't worry, this time the emperor's grandfather brought all his personal soldiers. If tomorrow, I will only take me to the Twelve Guards."

"Grandpa Emperor, I understand."

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang understood the importance of this trip. If he was not mistaken, Zhu Yunwen showed him this time it was definitely a secret weapon. After all, Zhu Yunwen's creativity during this period was all in this regard. Zhu Yuanzhang also discovered that Zhu Yunwen actually knew the words of Fanbian. It seemed that he had learned the techniques from Fanbian. Zhu Yuanzhang guessed some content, but he didn't even think that these techniques came from the future.

The next day, they set out at dawn, crossed the two hills and arrived at their real destination. Zhu Yuanzhang found that this place was an easy-to-defense and difficult-to-attack place, and there were heavy troops to guard it. It seemed that here we would talk about Zhu Yunwen's secret garrison.

"Grandpa Emperor, this is the destination."

"Yunwen, how long did it take to get this place out?"

“A year.”

"Very good! It's so good."

"Grandpa Emperor, wait until you see my gift, you will feel better."

Zhu Yunwen ordered a dozen strong men to push them in front of them with an iron lump. Looking at the thing made of black steel, Zhu Yuanzhang became even more curious.

"Yunwen, what is this?"

"This thing is called a cannon. Can Grandpa Emperor give me a name for it?"

"OK."

"Grandpa Emperor, then press your ears and I'll let you see the power of this thing."

Zhu Yunwen once again gave orders to let the big men push the cannon to the designated position. Finally, he aimed himself and aimed the cannon at a mountain with a radius of five miles. This was also the best result of the cannon.

"Boom!"

A loud noise like thunder sounded instantly, and then the mountain five miles away broke instantly. Everyone was shocked to see this situation. Even Zhu Yuanzhang, who was used to the big scenes, couldn't speak for a long time. Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked when he saw the power of the cannon. Finally, he held Zhu Yunwen's hand tightly and said, "Yunwen, you are the blessing of our Ming Dynasty..."

"Grandpa Emperor, you're too rewarded..."

"I have never had any award at all. This is a matter of fact. With this cannon, I am not afraid of those barbarians in the Ming Dynasty."

"Grandpa Emperor, my cannon has not been completely built yet and there is only this one."

Wen Xing told Zhu Yuanzhang a kind lie. After all, he was still worried that the weapon would fall into the hands of others. In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang also saw his concerns and he did not ask him any questions about this cannon.

"Yunwen, this cannon is called the Shenwu cannon!"

"Okay, Grandpa Emperor, this is called the Shenwu Cannon."

Zhu Yuanzhang originally wanted to rest for a few days in Zhu Yunwen's area, but the border war was in a tight position, Zhu Yuanzhang had to go back to the capital to take charge. In the end, Zhu Yunwen accompanied him back. Along the way, their grandfather and grandson were talking and laughing, but when they arrived near the Qin King's fiefdom, they were stopped by a group of people who sought justice. After asking, it was the good thing that the Qin King did.

"Master, you're seeking justice!"

"What the hell happened, folks?"

"King of Qin, we must hand over the beauty in every village. If we cannot hand over the army, the woman will even be sold to brothels."

"It's outrageous!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious in an instant. It can be said that he wanted to strangle this useless son to death immediately. Fortunately, Zhu Yunwen was around to persuade him, otherwise he would go to the King of Qin to raise his troops to question him immediately.

"Grandpa Emperor, the war in the northwest is tight, so it is not wise to settle the score with the King of Qin now."

"Yunwen, can he dare to rebel?"

"Grandpa Emperor, this is not the case. If you blame the King of Qin now, as his brother, King of Jin, will not be interested in fighting, and the final loss will be our Ming Dynasty."

"Then what do you think should be done?"

"This is simple. Just ask someone to tell the King of Qin that he will inspect his fiefdom soon."

This is not the first time that the Qin King Zhu Ceng bullies the people in the fiefdom. Once, he asked his subordinates to turn the bad money he stored into new money, but he actually set up the idea of ​​the people and use the bad money to buy things from the people's homes. After the transaction, he asked the people to redeem their things with new money. This time, his bad money turned into new money, but the people suffered losses. These things are just the tip of the iceberg. The bad things that King Zhu Ceng did have far more than these. He

He beats and scolds officials at any time, especially when he is unhappy, he vents his anger on his subordinates. It is common to beat and get rid of his traitors. Some of them are unlucky and can't find the body even if they die. He treats the people even more cruelly and unkindly, and he has more tyrannical taxes than any fiefdom. In the end, many people were forced to sell their children and daughters. He was too reluctant to let him down and not only kept a large number of beauties in his palace, but also forced the people in his fiefdom to find beauties. This time, he even forced the people in his fiefdom to find him beautiful women.

"Old man, I wonder where your village is under the jurisdiction of which place?"

"Jinling County..."

"It's OK!"

Zhu Yunwen finally took Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial edict to kill the county magistrate of Jinling County. This is to kill a warning to a hundred people. His approach was to make the King of Qin restrain himself, but the King of Qin also remembered all this on him.
