Chapter 552 Tight Control

It's also really too busy.

Otherwise, it would not be a big problem for Zhu Youjian to get some snacks, but one or two telegraph machines are of no use. If they are manufactured and developed, they must be produced in large quantities for use by the government and the army.

We have to let the people below be the main force in manufacturing, and use Black Flag's existing industrial environment to create it, so that we can start mass production according to the situation.

Today is different from the past. The time required to develop a production line like a double-barreled shotgun is unacceptable to Zhu Youjian.

I was busy before.

It can only be said that it has become a little easier recently. The function of the telegraph is also particularly attractive to the current black flag, so Zhu Youjian had to take time.

The telegraph is full of drawings and theories about electricity and wiring.

You have to deal with other things according to your arranged schedule.

It also made Zhu Youjian a little nostalgic for the days when he first led Lao Heiqi. The main thing was to be leisurely and happy, and to fight and kill in person, which was very enjoyable.

I was looking through the booklet when I heard an urgent message from the stick.

Sent from the south.

Nowadays, in Nanjing, only two people can send emergency reports on important matters.

Liang Yu, the commander of the Nanjing Jinyi Guards, was carrying several major cases on his body, and he might lose his head at any time, so much so that Wang Chengen had to help take care of it. If he was really taken down and his head was about to be lost, he would quickly replace the civet cat with a prince.

Send it to the north.

And there is Wang Chengen.

Therefore, only Zhu Youjian was qualified to open the Nanjing Urgent Report. Anyone else who passed an envelope had to be questioned and closely monitored.

After Zhu Youjian opened it with a knife, he found that in this slightly thick envelope, there were reports from Liang Yu and Wang Chengen, put together.

Let’s look at Wang Chengen’s first.

He was talking about the advance fleet heading to Nanyang.

After Longwu's only son was assassinated, he directly allowed Wang Chengen and the eunuch party represented by the Nanjing eunuch group to become rampant to fight against the Donglin party, which was not so 'righteous' in his eyes.

At the same time, a large number of troops were lost in the northern war, the land fell, and the battle against Daxi was also entangled. The Ming Dynasty used its superior troops to create a see-saw effect, so more financial expenditures were needed to raise and strengthen the army to stabilize the situation and defend the Black Flag.

Qing's attack.

This also forced Longwu to rely more on Wang Chengen.

Therefore, the Nanyang Company under the command of Wang Chengen was allowed to go to Nanyang, open sea trade routes, and fight with the Zheng family.

What Wang Chengen mentioned in his letter was the fight with the Zheng family.

The Zheng family, Zheng Chenggong and Zheng Zhilong have been completely separated in terms of power. One settled on land and loyally served the court, while the other was still an official pirate and warlord attached to the Ming Dynasty at sea.

Wang Chengen's Nanyang Company's large fleet made great fanfare to open sea routes and trade routes, which was considered to be an 'invasion' of Zheng Zhilong's sphere of influence.

Shangzhezi failed to stop it, and sending people to try to sneak into the stationed fleet to sabotage it also failed.

All that's left is to lead the troops and apply pressure.

but.

When the black flag treasure ship loaded with cannons cruised the river and headed for the sea, Zheng Zhilong knew that just on the river alone, his troops and ships could not compare with this huge ship.

So he could only say that he would hold a banquet at sea to wait for the prince's fleet.

Others may not understand it very well, but Zhu Youjian knows that Wang Chengen seems to regard following Zheng He's voyage to Nanyang as perhaps his highest mission in life.

So Zhu Youjian took out his pen and wrote the correct word on Wang Chengen's note.

Zheng Zhilong wanted to use Lao Wang's advance fleet to go to Nanyang, and Lao Wang was angry.

Not only did he ask for orders to engage in a head-on battle with the Zheng family at sea, he also asked for the cooperation of the Black Flag navy to attack the Zheng family together.

"Send it back to Nanjing quickly, pass on another oral message, and do it boldly!"

The Zheng family may have contributed to the Ming Dynasty, but they must be beaten when they deserve it, and now is a good time to beat the Zheng family.

After finishing speaking, Zhu Youjian looked at the next letter.

Liang Yu’s.

The news that the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty was in the hands of the Black Flag Qing Dynasty has reached Nanjing, which has cleared some of the suspicions on Emperor Longwu, but the blame for the disappearance of Prince Ding and Princess Kunxing is still on his back.

It’s just that Zhu Cixi was already the former crown prince of the Ming Dynasty.

The current crown prince of the Ming Dynasty is Zhu Linyuan, the eldest son of Emperor Longwu.

What was originally a major case of the prince's disappearance has long since become a major case of the prince's assassination.

Liang Yu was talking about the assassination of the prince.

He found nothing in the previous three disappearance cases, but this time about the assassination of the prince, Liang Yu followed the clues and investigated it all the way, and then found the head of Zhu Yousong, the blessed king of the Ming Dynasty.

And the evidence is conclusive.

However, at present, he has only reported to Longwu that Zhu Yousong is highly suspicious. He has not yet put the exact evidence in front of Emperor Longwu, but sent it to Zhu Youjian.

Zhu Youjian also had to pay attention.

If there was a civil war in the Ming Dynasty, the Western thieves might come out of Sichuan and cause harm to the southern land.

'Investigate carefully, and if necessary, give death to King Fu and his family. If Longwu investigates the crime, come to the north.'

Putting pen to paper gently, this envelope must be sent back to Nanjing as soon as possible.

At this time, Zhu Youjian was even more hopeful about the telegram.

With this hope in mind, there was only one last task left on the schedule, which was to go to the workshop arranged by the Ministry of Works to personally supervise the production of telegraph equipment.

Meet Azig.

"Chuang Aixinjueluo Azig~!"

The eunuch shouted.

Awakened Azig who was waiting quietly outside the Wuying Palace in the imperial city. As soon as he regained consciousness, he couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his head.

This day has finally come.

Just now, Azig was thinking about the scene when he first met the Black Flag Wuerte in the old forest, as well as the history of the Black Flag Wuerte family over the years.

The more I think about it, the more sad I become.

What a monster this is.

Not just witchcraft.

The intelligence and ability of those people he bewitched were far inferior to that of the Wuerte. Even without sorcery, the Wuerte was still an extremely terrifying monster.

Facing such a person, Azig could only grit his teeth!

Send it to your door and let it be used! It won't die!

Try to stay as far away as possible, evil spells may not affect you!

With this thought in mind, Azige stepped into the Wuying Palace.

As I walked, my mentality changed.

Just die!

With such a sudden change of heart, Azig was not too afraid anymore, he just thought about not showing his timidity!

So he entered the hall door with his head held high, his eyes widened and he looked at Zhu Youjian who was sitting on the throne. His body was trembling with excitement and nervousness, but he did not kneel down, but only bowed slightly.

"Meet the regent!"

"Okay, okay! The King of England does not need to be polite!"

Zhu Youjian wanted to control the last flag of the Eight Banners, and he did not hesitate to be courteous. He stood up with his huge body and eagerly stepped forward to perform a drama of warmly inviting Azig to sit down with his arms.

Little did he know that this moment frightened Azig!

Seeing Zhu Youjian approaching! Subconsciously take two steps back!

'It's over! It seems that evil magic is inevitable after all!'

But Zhu Youjian came quickly and was grabbed by him.

I feel a lot better today, so I haven’t checked my cardiovascular system for the time being. I will check it tomorrow. But it seems that I will definitely recover if I have a regular schedule, so I will strive to achieve the 10,000-word daily update I promised before on the 31st.
