The Rise of the European Emperor

Although there are not as many palace changes in the Ming Dynasty as in the Tang Dynasty, there are also some. For example, in the eighth year of Jingtai (1457), Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty took advantage of Emperor Jingtai's serious illness and launched the "change of seizing the door" and restored him as emperor. And that "change of seizing the door" has only passed 50 years, and many ministers in the DPRK are over 50 years old, and they still have memories of that palace change.

Therefore, when Wang Hao heard the sound of the cannon, his first reaction was the palace change. Then, he hurried to Li Dongyang's room and shouted:

"Brother Bin, something big has happened!"

Li Dongyang heard the gunshots, but he didn't immediately think of a mutiny. After all, it has been a long time since the Ming Dynasty passed through the "Hongzhi Center".

However, soon, there was a second round of gunfire—

"Boom-boom-boom-"

Wang Hao's face suddenly paled:

"It's over, there must be a rebel army attacking the imperial city. Listen to the sound, it should be the northwest direction!"

Li Dongyang also stood up abruptly:

"mutiny?"

"It should be, otherwise, who would dare to fire in the capital?"

"Then quickly go to the palace to find the emperor, and ask for the order to mobilize troops to quell the chaos."

Then two old men in their fifties flew in the imperial city, from the front yard of the imperial city, to the forbidden palace. One is to ask the emperor to move to a safe area; the other is to ask the emperor to authorize the transfer of troops.

Although the cabinet is full of power, it does not include military power. If the cabinet wants to transfer troops, it must be authorized by the emperor. Inevitably, it is impossible to arbitrarily deploy troops. Especially for the soldiers and horses of the capital, the mobilization system is particularly strict. It must be authorized by the emperor, the cabinet will issue a letter, and then a letter will be sent to the Ministry of War. After the Ministry of War has approved it, it will be sent to the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, in order to mobilize the troops and horses in Beijing. This is also to prevent someone from rebelling. After all, the cabinet has great power. If you can mobilize troops and horses without going through the emperor, wouldn't it be easy to launch a mutiny?

As cabinet bosses, it is still very easy for Li Dongyang and Wang Yu to enter the palace. But after entering the palace, the two could not find the emperor. After some inquiries, the two found out that the emperor went to the military battle bureau in the northwest of the imperial city...

Thinking that the sound of the cannons came from the northwest, at this time, more than a dozen rounds of cannons had already sounded, and Wang Hao's face suddenly turned ashes:

"It's over, the emperor went to the battle station, but the sound of cannons came from there. Doesn't it mean that the emperor was trapped by the rebels?"

finished,

Wang Hao took off his obstructing official uniform, picked up a stick from the yard, and shouted:

"All officers and men, the emperor may be in danger, follow the old man to rescue him!"

Li Dongyang was stunned by Wang Hao's wild behavior, but he was still relatively sober, so he discouraged:

"Jizhi, you are a civil official, how can you beat the rebels? Let me go to the Ministry of War to transfer troops!"

Wang Hao also came to his senses. Although he knew the military, he was also a civil official, and he was quite old. If you encounter any random soldier, it is estimated that you will cut yourself with one knife. So, he quickly pulled Li Dongyang to the direction of the Ministry of War.

However, before the two reached the Ministry of War, they saw a eunuch running in the distance, shouting as they ran:

"Misunderstanding, two patriarchs! Misunderstanding!"

After the eunuch caught up with the second old man and explained the situation, Li Dongyang and Wang Hao suddenly had black lines on their foreheads:

"You mean, is the emperor testing guns in the imperial city?" Li Dongyang could not wait to strangle the little eunuch in front of him.

And Wang Hao directly said angrily:

"This is too much of a child's play! This is the imperial city, how can you just fire a cannon? Come on, brother Bin, let's go to the war bureau to find the emperor's theory!"

After finishing speaking, Wang Hao took Li Dongyang straight to the battle of the army and went to spray the emperor...

When Wang Tuzi took Li Shutou to the shooting range of the Bingbattle Bureau, the bear boy was clapping his hands:

"Okay, it really is a weapon, it can easily break the wall!"

Previously, Emperor Zhengde asked craftsmen to temporarily build a fence a hundred steps away, and also smeared a thick layer of yellow mud on the wall to prevent ricochet and strengthen the resistance to shelling.

But I didn't expect that in just three rounds of shelling, the nine iron balls not only hit the low wall a hundred paces away, but also blasted the low wall... Continuing to bombard, the entire low wall collapsed...

After all, it is a temporary fence, and the bricks are glued with yellow mud instead of standard adhesives such as glutinous rice juice and brown sugar. However, the thickness of the low wall is also sufficient, plus the thick yellow mud was touched. If it was replaced by the short-barreled earth cannon used by the Ming army, it would not be able to penetrate, but the Fran cannon broke through the wall in only three rounds, which was beyond the expectations of Emperor Zhengde.

However, the bear boy just finished clapping his hands in admiration, and when he turned his head, he saw Li Dongyang and Wang Hao who were covered in black lines...

So, the bear child is embarrassed...

Facing the two cabinet bosses, the young Emperor Zhengde was still a little embarrassed. The current Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao is not the Wuzong who later said that he is one of the best, but just a bear child. In the face of Li Dongyang, a respected teacher, and Wang Hao, a big troll whose fighting power is on the list, the bear boy is still a little guilty.

However, although the bear child likes to play tricks, his brain is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart. Seeing that the two bosses were about to explode, the bear boy rolled his eyes, and suddenly thought of a countermeasure:

"Cough...then what...two Aiqings, I was just testing the gun just now..."

"Test the gun?" Wang Da troll was furious...

"Your Majesty, how can anyone test guns in the imperial city? Whether it is the Ministry of Industry's Armaments Bureau or the Inner Court Military Bureau, the most common test guns are in the city. How can anyone test guns in the city? The imperial city was in chaos just now. Old Li Ge thought it was a mutiny, so he was scared and ran everywhere, so he was dispatched to the Ministry of War to quell the rebellion!"

The bear child knew that he was wrong, so he bowed and said:

"It's because I didn't think carefully, but Mr. Wang Ge, the firearm presented by this ghost is really extraordinary. You know it, can you help me comment? It's really a weapon of the military!"

The bear boy knows that Li Dongyang's rank is not high, and the most difficult thing is Wang He. But the bear boy also knew that Wang Shuo was more concerned about military affairs. So, he simply used guns and guns to divert the attention of Wang Yu, a military fan.

Sure enough, the upright Wang Shuo was fooled. In fact, Wang Hao wanted to see these guns for a long time, but unfortunately Mao Cheng kept these guns in the warehouse of the Ministry of Rites to eat ashes, and he didn't have the chance to see them either.

Now, the bear boy deliberately diverted his attention, and the old army fan Wang Hao was also diverted his attention for a while, and went to check those guns.

"Old Wang Ge, look, this is the target of the arquebus. The bullet holes on it are so dense, and the result is from a distance of thirty paces. It can be seen that this Western ghost's arquebus is still very powerful, much better than mine. Three-eyed guns are powerful..."

"Look at this Fran cannon again...it's really ingenious...Westerners are really clever, they actually figured out the way to use the letter gun, use the boy gun to load gunpowder and iron bullets, and then put it into the mother gun to activate it. , it is very convenient to load medicine..." After saying that, Emperor Zhengde also gestured with his hands to show Wang Shuo.

When Wang Hao heard this, he nodded again and again. Then, I had a lively discussion with the bear boy about the technical issues of the arquebus and the Fran cannon...

Li Dongyang saw that the building was crooked, and there were more black lines on his forehead... So he coughed and reminded Wang Shu...

Wang Hao heard Li Dongyang's coughing, and when he looked again, Li Ge was winking at him... Suddenly, he also realized - Nima, he was led astray by the little emperor...

So, he said sternly:

"Your Majesty, even if Western guns are sharp, you can't test them in the imperial city!"

When Emperor Zhengde saw that the method of diverting attention had been cracked, he had no choice but to quibble:

"So what... I am also happy to see the hunter, so I can't wait to test the gun..."
