Gou in Daming, I was overheard by Zhu Yuanzhang

Early the next morning, Zhu Yuanzhang woke up outside.

"Third grandson, there is a Tianning Temple in Jinhua Mansion. We visited it more than 20 years ago. I really don't know how it is now."

"The scenery on both sides of the Fuchun River is beautiful, and it can be reached in half a day by water."

"You and Mu Yao, accompany us to relax."

"Old Zhu, this arrangement is quite good!"

"There is a chance to find this person!"

"I want him to understand that scientific experiments must be scientific."

"Don't be reckless!"

"What you have done will cause people in the future to never dare to think about flying in the sky!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's heart tightened, did this person fail to fly to the sky?
"This person is an acquaintance of Lao Zhu."

"My name is Tao Chengdao, from Jinhua, Zhejiang."

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized that it was Tao Chengdao!

Tao Chengdao was familiar with poetry and books since he was a child, but he never took part in the imperial examinations of the Yuan Dynasty.

Because he doesn't love official positions, he likes to be a Taoist priest.

Of course, it is not the kind of Taoist priest who sets up altars everywhere and pretends to be a ghost.

Tao Chengdao was keen on alchemy, and an explosion happened once, which aroused his interest in studying firearms.

Finally, a fire gun was finally produced.

At that time, we were still the king of Wu. After going down to Wuzhou, Tao Chengdao led a group of disciples to join us and offered fire artifact skills.

He has repeatedly made outstanding achievements in previous wars and was awarded "Wanhu".

It was him!

I only know that he can study firearms, but I don't know that he can fly into the sky!

But San Sun said he failed.

Despite the failures, there are certainly redeeming qualities!

Otherwise, the third grandson would not give him a very high evaluation!

Later generations will not respect him as the ancestor of the world's spaceflight.

If the third grandson is to guide him, can he really fly into the sky?
The third grandson has never let us down!

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but get excited.

……

Jinhua Mansion, the Tao Family Manor ten miles away from Tianning Temple.

Tao Chengdao, who was nearly fifty years old, was pouring gunpowder. His servant came to report, and an old friend from Beijing came to visit.

It has been many years since Tao Chengdao left the capital and returned to his hometown.

For a long time, Tao Chengdao acted in a low-key manner, without publicity or ostentation, simple and frugal, plain clothes and ordinary clothes, and ordinary meals.

After returning to live, Tao Chengdao abandoned his official clothes and wore old clothes, just like a fellow countryman.

Instead, it was praised by Jinhua government officials and villagers.

When talking about Tao Chengdao, everyone calls him the "ten thousand households" bestowed by His Majesty.

Tao Chengdao politely declined the official visits every year as usual.

Officials from Beijing and China rarely come here.

After all, when Tao Chengdao was an official in Beijing, he was not valued by His Majesty.

Now, there is actually an old friend from Beijing and China visiting.

When Tao Chengdao came out, he found that sitting in the hall were Yan Wang Zhu Di and an old monk in black and white eyebrows.

"His Royal Highness, why are you here?"

Zhu Di said: "Master Tao, I came to Hangzhou on business and happened to pass by here. I thought of Master Tao, so I came to visit."

Tao Chengdao said: "His Royal Highness King Yan, Cao Min has retired and returned to his hometown. It is useless."

"It's not that you're returning home, it's just that you don't want to be an official. How many people can match this level?"

Zhu Di smiled and said, "I heard Master Yao, oh, this is the teacher assigned to me by Your Majesty. His surname is Yao and his name is Guangxiao."

Tao Chengdao stood up again: "So it's you! Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, military ink law, everything is incomprehensible! Disrespect, disrespect!"

Yao Guangxiao is both a monk and a Taoist priest, and he also has a lot of experience in alchemy.

Unexpectedly, Tao Chengdao knew his name and had such a good attitude.

Better than King Yan.

In this way, it will be easy to handle.

Zhu Di was very surprised, and then said: "Master Tao, would you like to follow me to the Northland?"

Tao Chengdao's face darkened: "Yan Wang was joking, my firearms are useful in the south. In the north, they are not very useful."

Zhu Di knew that Tao Chengdao had this attitude.

Back then, when his father was beating Chen Youliang and Bei Yuan, Tao Chengdao went to him with firearms and was very popular.

Because in the south, the rivers are crisscrossed, the cavalry of the Northern Yuan Dynasty cannot be used, and the south generally lacks good war horses, so the effect of firearms is very prominent.

But as soon as they arrived in the north, the vast plains and grasslands, the horses galloped, and the musketeers fired a shot, and the soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty came to the front.

In the northern battlefield, firecrackers gradually became tasteless.

His Majesty specially set up the Gunpowder Manufacturing Bureau for the manufacture of gunpowder.

Tao Chengdao is the person in charge.

However, with the pacification of various evils in the south, the production of firecrackers fell into a trough.

The firearms battalion in Beijing has also been reduced in size.

The imperial court organized several operations against Bei Yuan, but none of the firecrackers came in handy.

For this reason, Tao Chengdao resigned and returned home.

Zhu Di heard from Yao Guangxiao that Tao Chengdao was near Tianning Temple, and he was researching the flying birds that were propelled by gunpowder.

Asuka succeeded once and caused a great sensation in the local area.

Mozi made a wooden bird, which flew in the sky for three days and three nights without landing. Everyone thought it was just a legend.

Tao Chengdao's fire bird successfully flew into the sky, which proves that Mozi's tricks are real.

After Zhu Di heard about it, he didn't take it seriously.

Tao Chengdao put aside his serious misconduct, but came to study these heresy things.

What about a fiery bird flying into the sky?

Yao Guangxiao said: "King Yan, Master Tao can make flying birds, so he must be able to make flying dragons!"

Zhu Di's eyes lit up, and he understood what Yao Guangxiao meant.

His father was born in a farmer, and he has always had low self-esteem, fearing that others would say that he is not the right man.

Before he ascended the throne, he asked people to find out who were surnamed Zhu in their ancestors, and they had more prominent backgrounds.

I searched and searched, but there was really nothing.

If you send a flying dragon to the father, it will be of great significance.

At that time, I will offer the flying dragon and let the flying dragon fly into the palace, preferably around the palace of nourishing the heart of the father.

Let everyone take a look, the real dragon emperor is here!

Send the flying dragon, and create a shocking scene where the flying dragon is in the sky!

This is to help the father further establish absolute authority!
In this way, the royal father will have a big change in his attitude.

Coupled with Yao Guangxiao's secret about Zhu Yunxi, Zhu Di believed: The heir apparent of Ming Dynasty is stable!

Zhu Di came this time not to ask Tao Chengdao to make firecrackers, but to ask Tao Chengdao to make flying dragons.

After explaining the real intention of coming, Tao Chengdao said: "King Yan, forgive Cao Min for not following orders."

Since Tao Chengdao had already abandoned his official position and returned to his hometown, how could he get involved again?
Although he devoted himself to studying gunpowder, firearms, and rockets, he still understood Zhu Di's thoughts.

Zhu Di obviously wants to fight for the reserve!

What would His Majesty think if you were to be a flying dragon for Zhu Di?
This is a head-off thing!

Yao Guangxiao said coldly: "Lord Tao is so arrogant! Can King Yan not invite you?"

Tao Chengdao originally had a good impression of Yao Guangxiao, but looking at it now, he is just a follower of power.

"Cao Min has no intention of going to court, King Yan, please go back."

Tao Chengdao didn't give Zhu Di any face.

"Master Tao, can I not let you go?" Zhu Di's eyes flashed a stern look!
Since Tao Chengdao has left the capital, he will never go back, let alone participate in the muddy water of fighting for storage?
"King Yan, don't talk about you, what the grass people don't want to do, even His Majesty, can't do it!"

Tao Chengdao uttered a harsh word.

Zhu Di's face suddenly changed, and he was about to attack.

Tao Chengdao's housekeeper said: "Master, outside the door, there is a man who claims to be the King of Wu asking to see him."

King Wu?

Tao Chengdao's face was solemn: "Please come in quickly, no, I will pick it up myself!"

Zhu Di's heart is blocked, why is it Zhu Yunxi again?
Why did Tao Chengdao, who doesn't like oil and salt, behave so respectfully when he hears that Zhu Yunxie is coming?
