My Pen Pal Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 76 Why does Lao Zhu need the heaven to judge him?

As for camouflage, concealment, reconnaissance and communication, they require the support of modern equipment.

The concealment of the starry sky camouflage is quite good. Considering that the Ming Dynasty’s primary combat target is the desert, they will first adopt the desert version of camouflage.

As for the Geely suits, give Lao Zhu a set of design drawings and let them make them according to local conditions.

For reconnaissance, a telescope with night vision effect is a good choice. The battery problem is also easy to solve, so you might as well buy some.

The last thing is communication. In sniper operations, the main purpose of communication is to report the reconnaissance situation to the headquarters at any time, as well as report the effectiveness of the attack.

There is no need to deploy communication equipment on a large scale. You can consider buying some professional radios and pair them with wireless headsets.

With this whole set, except for the gun which was a little lacking in quality, the rest of the equipment was enough to make Daming Ye stop using it and start moving towards modernization.

When I thought about how, thanks to my efforts, the Ming border troops stayed up all night, one by one wearing camouflage uniforms and sneaking secretly in the night, I felt a sense of accomplishment.

Li Han did what he said. He closed the shop and went out to do some shopping.

You won’t know until you buy it, and you’ll be shocked once you do.

Military products are still a bit expensive.

As for camouflage uniforms, you can't buy the original ones on the market, only high-quality imitations. But if you add desert combat boots, the price of a set will be several hundred after a discount.

Buy twenty sets of various models and sizes at once and sprinkle some water on them.

Li Han was mentally prepared for professional-grade radio stations and bought ten sets.

But telescopes with night vision are really expensive!
Domestic ones are still okay, with prices ranging from one thousand to several thousand, but imported ones are astronomically priced.

Of course, there are also cheap ones, such as infrared night vision equipment specially used by anglers, which can be bought for a few hundred dollars.

Fishing and sniping are two different things after all, so I carefully selected a monocular night vision telescope that can be used as a sniper scope and also for reconnaissance.

It feels really good to do a lot of shopping. Li Han suddenly understood why girls like shopping.

After returning home, he wrote the letter and then sent the things to Zhu Yuanzhang in batches.

……

Zhu Yuanzhang has been so busy lately that he can hardly stop. The Military Equipment Bureau has started the trial production of needle-fired guns, and the imitation of steam engines is also in full swing.

At the same time, he also ordered people to find several large coal mines and iron mines according to the mineral map provided by Li Han.

Although he had expected it, when the mineral deposits were actually discovered, Zhu Yuanzhang was filled with surprise and emotion.

The mineral map given by Lao Li has immeasurable strategic significance and economic value for the Ming Dynasty.

Even if there was no industry, the Ming Dynasty would still need a large number of iron and steel products. The hoes and plows of the people, the pots used at home, and even the various weapons used by the army, which one does not require iron ore and coal mines?

Once the mineral deposits were discovered, the construction of the mine was quickly started. At the same time, the corresponding iron smelting and steelmaking factories were also under intensive planning and construction.

Meanwhile, in the imperial court, two ministers, Li Min and Yang Siyi, were under tremendous pressure.

In order to build an iron smelting and steelmaking plant, Yang Siyi transferred a large sum of money from the Ministry of Revenue to Li Min. This move aroused strong doubts from the civil officials.

They accused the project of not only being extremely expensive, but also competing with the people for profits, which would likely lead to the bankruptcy of folk craftsmen.

In particular, the censors of the Inspectorate were ready to impeach the two ministers in an attempt to stop what they considered a "luxury" project.

During this period of time, the two ministers have been losing a lot of hair.

Fortunately, all of this was forcibly suppressed by Zhu Yuanzhang. He would not let his industrial plan be ruined by short-sighted civil officials. However, there are two good news. One is that in addition to marking coal and iron mines, the mineral map also marks the specific locations of many other non-ferrous metals and precious metals.

Just like the copper mines in Yunnan, fortunately he had a long-term vision and had pacified Yunnan last year. With the establishment of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Criminal Justice and the Ministry of Military Affairs, Yunnan returned to the embrace of the Central Plains again.

With copper mines, the raw materials for making copper coins were available.

In addition, several silver mines were found. With a large amount of silver added to the national treasury, the money for building the factory was available, and it also laid the foundation for the anchoring of the treasure banknotes.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not intend to fully exploit the domestic silver mines. His eyes were always on the three super silver mountains in Japan.

Another thing is that Yang Siyi has ordered people to find several suitable fields as experimental fields for growing sweet potatoes and potatoes.

I believe that good news of a good harvest will come soon.

After the court session, he once again walked into the Buddhist temple.

Although my body is very tired, my spirit is very full.

I wonder what result Lao Li got when he asked God?

I wonder whether God thinks Zhu Yuanzhang is a famous emperor or a foolish ruler?
When he thought of this, he felt a little uneasy.

As the supreme ruler, the emperor is most concerned about this. Isn't this a manifestation of the Mandate of Heaven?
Looking at the Buddhist table filled with things again, Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth curled up, revealing a long-lost smile.

Although I am no longer surprised by Li Han's magical operations, I am still full of expectations.

Anyway, the answer will be in the letter, so just read it first.

However, when he saw the first sentence, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression immediately became extremely interesting.

"Old Zhu, you are the one who is going to lead the Ming Dynasty towards industrialization, why are you still so superstitious and still asking God for help?

You are simply too deeply influenced by the small peasant mentality, which is unacceptable.

Yu Gong, for China, you have reunited the north and south of China and prevented the Han people from being bullied by the Tartars. This achievement alone is enough to make you famous in history.

Personally, you have deep feelings for Empress Ma, and although you are not a completely qualified elder to your children and grandchildren, you have done your best."

Zhu Yuanzhang's brows were twisted into a "川" shape. Is Old Li praising me or scolding me?
I think I should praise it a little more.

"But no one is perfect. As long as you, Old Zhu, are worthy of the people of Ming Dynasty and the world, why do you need to let the illusory heaven judge you?

Lao Zhu, just be yourself!"

For some reason, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes suddenly became moist.

Since he became emperor, only two voices have appeared in his ears.

One is "Long live Your Majesty."

The other is "Your Majesty is stubborn and self-willed, and does not practice benevolent governance. Heaven will surely punish you."

But no one has ever said to him, "Old Zhu, just be yourself."

In the eyes of all the civil and military officials in the court, he was the emperor. In the eyes of the empress and concubines in the harem, he was still the emperor. Even in the eyes of his children and grandchildren, he was still the emperor.

Only Li Han, this free and easy, omniscient and omnipotent man, regards himself as "Zhu Yuanzhang".

He looked up and looked into the distance outside the Buddhist hall. Although he didn't know where Li Han was, at this moment, he felt that his thoughts were connected with Li Han's.

Old Li, you are right. I am Zhu Yuanzhang. Why should we let God judge us?
