Chapter 173 Hu Yuancheng! The God of Firearms!

Zhu Gaoxu didn't know the little movements of Big Pang Pang and Husky.

Even if he knows, he won't take it to heart.

When Chen Ji and others compiled the new teaching materials and the Ministry of Education established a new one, the government and the people would naturally understand what he wanted to do.

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu once again came to the military camp to inspect the cement production work.

Although Eunuch Haishou is a foul-free product, these eunuchs are better than obedient.

Due to the snow disaster in Shandong, Zhu Gaoxu ordered the military to draw craftsmen to produce cement with all their efforts.

This order was implemented perfectly. With the help of the Ministry of Works, eunuch Haishou was able to execute this order without fail. At the risk of delaying the military aircraft of the Northern Expedition, with the help of the Ministry of Works, most of the craftsmen of the military war were drawn to go to the hard-hit areas such as Shandong and Hebei to produce cement to help the victims rebuild their homes.

This alone has improved Zhu Gaoxu's attitude towards Haishou a lot.

No wonder Emperor Yongle likes to value eunuchs. Such a clever and obedient eunuch is much easier to use than those noble and arrogant literati and doctors.

Eunuch Haishou followed Zhu Gaoxu step by step and said with a flattering smile: "Prince, news has been heard from Shandong and Hebei. The people have praised the cement of our military battle, and are even more grateful to you."

"I even heard that many people spontaneously set up a sign of immortality for you at home, thank you for your kindness and pray for you for your longevity."

Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu was a little confused.

This...isn't that good?

If this matter falls into the ears of the boss and the princelings, he might scold him and win people's hearts.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu also sighed.

The common people are simple and honest, and they will remember who treats them well.

If you want to blame, you can only blame Zhu Gaoxu for being soft-hearted and unable to stand the people suffering and always want to do something.

"Okay, don't flatter me. One thing you need to pay attention to is that the cement production process cannot be leaked now, otherwise it will become a tool for merchants to make money and make profits!"

Zhu Gaoxu's face turned right and his expression reminded him of this with a serious expression.

Cement is a magical building tool. At this stage, it is necessary to be in the hands of the court and vigorously build people's livelihood development and military bases, and cannot be promoted hastily.

Eunuch Haishou nodded deeply, "Don't worry, prince, I will understand."

Cement production technology is the only thing that can compete with the first game in the second game, and Eunuch Haishou naturally attaches great importance to it.

The craftsmen sent out were all old men in the military battle, and their wives, children and young people were in the military battle. Before leaving, eunuch Qianhai Shou personally warned them that no mistakes were allowed.

But in this way, the Second Bureau has drawn personnel to support the disaster area, so how can we compete with the First Bureau?

Thinking of this, Eunuch Haishou gritted his teeth and said, "Prince, if this happens, the second game is unlikely to compete with the first game!"

"And the competition between the two bureaus is mainly about military equipment. This cement is far less important than weapons and supplies for the army..."

"Well, I understand what you mean, and I am here to solve this hidden danger today."

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand with a smile, "I specially invited a talent. I believe your second game will soon have your own competitive firearm."

Eunuch Haishou was overjoyed when he heard this, and at the same time he was full of expectations for the "great talent" mentioned by His Highness the King of Han.

Soon, there was a chat about it all, and soon a green robe official over 40 walked in.

When Eunuch Haishou saw this person, the smile on his face was as bright as a chrysanthemum.

"The lower official Hu Yuancheng, met His Highness, the King of Han, and the Duke of Haishou!"

Zhu Gaoxu immediately stepped forward and helped him up with a smile.

"Mengyuan, please get up quickly, there is no need to be polite. I have always wanted to see you, but unfortunately I am plagued by trivial matters."

This is not a scene, but the truth of the Han prince.

After all, the legendary figure in front of me is not an ordinary person!

Hu Yuancheng's original name was Li Yuancheng. He was originally the eldest son of the powerful Annan and the monarch of the Hu Dynasty, Hu Jimao. He served as the Situ of the Chen Dynasty and the left prime minister of the Hu Dynasty.

Hu Jimao was originally a relative of the Chen Dynasty, and then took advantage of the situation to seize power and attack the common people. He eventually usurped the throne of the Chen Dynasty and changed the country's name to Dayu.

To put it bluntly, this is a traitor, but he was still restless and reported that Zhu Laosi claimed that the royal family of the Chen Dynasty was exterminated. He was recommended by his ministers as his nephew as his nephew and requested his enthronement.

The world was far away, and Zhu Laosi didn't know the truth, so he directly enthroned his son Hu Hancang as King of Annan.

As a result, many remaining ministers who survived fled to the Ming Dynasty to expose this lie. Zhu Laosi sent the governor Huang Zhong to escort the fake royal family Chen Tianping back to the country and ascend the throne. As a result, Hu Jimao directly ambushed the Ming Dynasty's mission and executed Chen Tianping Lingchi.

Hu Jimao's stupid behavior completely aroused Zhu Laosi's furious and directly ordered Duke Cheng Guo Zhu Neng to be the general of the conquering Yi, Duke Xiping Mu Sheng as the left deputy general, Zhang Fu as the right deputy general, Li Bin, Duke Fengcheng as the left sergeant general, and Chen Xu of Yunyang as the right sergeant general, and led 800,000 troops to conquer Annan.

In the face of the mighty power of the Ming Dynasty, the Hu army completely lost its combat effectiveness. The Ming Dynasty annexed the county and county Annan, destroying the Hu Dynasty.

Hu Jimao, Hu Yuancheng and his son were captured and were escorted to the imperial capital together with many civil and military officials of the Hu Dynasty.

This is the Battle of Annan when the Ming Dynasty destroyed it.

Later, Hu Yuancheng was highly valued by the court because he was good at growing weapons. Zhu Laosi ordered him to "supervise the construction of troops and command guns and arrows and gunpowder."

Even Hu Yuancheng himself was surprised, saying that this was an "adventure" and devoted himself to the construction of the Great Bright Firearm.

Hu Yuancheng made an indelible contribution to the emergence of the Ming Divine Cultivation Camp, and was highly respected by the government and the public, and was hailed as the "God of the Great Bright Firearm"!

After that, Hu Yuancheng's official career was very prosperous and he was promoted to the head of the Ministry of Works.

Zhu Gaoxu knew that the weapon master in front of him would sit at the high position of Minister of Works in the future!

"Mengyuan, I invite you here to solve a problem."

"My Ming Dynasty iron cannon is not only very heavy, but also very easy to explode. Although copper cannons have excellent performance, their cost is too high and they are not capable of producing energy at all. Can Meng Yuan have a good solution to this dilemma?"

While talking, Zhu Gaoxu found it funny himself.

When fighting, the enemy was not even able to fight, he was killed by artillery first!

Where can the soldiers make sense?

Hu Yuancheng frowned and did not rush to speak, but instead inspected the entire blacksmith workshop under the leadership of Haishou.

After a long time, he spoke: "Prince, the root cause of the problem lies in the iron smelting process!"

"The iron ore and coal of our Ming Dynasty, the pig iron smelted is extremely brittle and hard, far less tough than charcoal iron smelting. The cannons made from this are not only very heavy, but also have poor toughness and are easily exploded!"

As soon as these words were said, Zhu Gaoxu immediately understood that after all, it was because the content of phosphorus and sulfur in iron ore and coal ore was relatively high, which led to extremely poor quality of the steel produced!

When he first changed the Military Weapon Bureau, he once mentioned that he would improve the production method of steel. Now the Military Weapon Bureau has built a lot of blast furnace iron smelting, but crucible steel smelting has not yet been achieved.

Now that the navy is about to go out to sea to suppress bandits and conquer Japan, artillery and muskets are the top priority and must be fully produced.
