I'm really not the carpenter emperor

I think these Chahar savages are not even interested in torture.

The soldiers of the Datong Army have been battle-tested for a long time. Although Wang Pu was originally a battalion officer who was bought, but because of his bravery in combat, he also achieved the high position of a general by virtue of his military exploits. He is used to life and death.

But even he, seeing the scene in the tent, still twitched slightly.

There is no soldier who is not shocked and angry when he sees the people of his country being so insulted outside.

Zhang Wanbang couldn't bear to watch it any longer, turned around and went out of the tent, and ordered:

"Search for the captive people in the pass, and bring them back to the pass to reunite with their relatives. Try not to surprise them."

Wang Pu nodded, turned around and went down to give orders.

At dusk after a night and a day, the Datong Army was ready to go outside Chahanhot City. Dozens of suppressing captive guns aimed at the majestic pavilions of the city gate, and suddenly swallowed flames.

As the spire at the top of the city, which symbolized the capital city, turned into rubble and fell, the Datong army turned around one after another, returning with many carts of supplies and surviving civilians.

On the road, Wang Pu rode beside Zhang Wanbang, turning his head and watching.

The latter glanced slightly and asked with a smile, "What are you looking at?"

Wang Pu smiled and said: "Commander, there is one thing that I am puzzled about at the end. Why did we destroy Chahanhaote? After finally conquering it, we should send troops to garrison it like Guihua City."

Zhang Wanbang shook his head and said: "Wang Pu, you are not from a general family, and you have not experienced much training in the art of war since you were young. When you are leading the army, you should think more about it."

"Is it really worth sending troops to garrison these places in Monan, even in places as rich in water and grass as Chahanhot?"

"Monan is not inside the pass. Here is an endless grassland. Our army is mainly infantry. If we want to go out of the pass once, it will take a lot of effort!"

"It's easy to attack, but it takes a lot of troops to defend a place. If you want to occupy it for a long time, you have to emigrate to guard the border and build a city."

"This dynasty is full of martial virtues, and the tribes dare not make mistakes, but what if the next Ru Yingzong suffers another defeat in a civil fortress?"

"Have you ever thought about it, when that time comes, not only will we not be able to defend these places, but even the immigrant people and the soldiers stationed there will be ghosts outside the Great Wall."

"Countless weapons, money and food will be lost in the hands of the enemy!"

Zhang Wanbang said, holding the rein of the horse with one hand, took out the binoculars to look at the distant dusk, and said with a smile: "Mongolia is like this sunset, it's already lonely."

"As for my Ming Dynasty, it is like the rising sun. As long as the army is not damaged and the national strength is growing, the various tribes of the Western Captives will not dare to make trouble. These places do not need to send troops to garrison the people, and they will naturally be peaceful."

Wang Pu nodded and listened, feeling more and more admiration for this handsome man with both civil and military skills.

Originally, he spent all his wealth to buy an official, just to get over the addiction of leading the army in the Wanli Dynasty. Who would have thought that the Tianqi Dynasty would reorganize the military and the military, and the generals would start to be valued.

Wang Pu also changed from being "forced" to fight at the beginning, to voluntarily following Zhang Wanbang to conquer the east and west, and made a lot of contributions.

Up to now, his character has improved a lot, and he can be regarded as a member of the Datong Army.

As long as Zhang Wanbang is around, he dares to rush up screaming.

……

Five days later, Zhang Wanbang's good news spread to the capital, which caused great shock in the government and the public.

Zhu Youxiao was sitting in Xinuang Pavilion, holding the good news in his hand, very excited.

Zhang Wanbang went deep into the battle of the Mongolian Khan Court. The details are unknown, but the result was good. Ezhe was driven away. After the Datong Army passed, Chahanhot was left with only ruins.

The Ming army did not leave a single soldier behind, they all withdrew from Chahanhot, and brought back more than 3 remaining people in the pass.

Chahanhot, the last capital of Mongolia, which Lin Danhan worked hard for decades, ceased to exist.

Although the Mongol Yuan Empire has not been counted as officially destroyed, it is already lingering, and it is not counted as a real country at all.

"Okay, good!" Zhu Youxiao put down the victory report and said: "In recent years, I have received frequent success reports. This is the blessing of my ancestors and the virtue of God. This victory should be announced to the world."

"In another day, I will reward Zhang Wanbang and his subordinates heavily!"

Why do you say another day, because Zhu Youxiao is going to run away with the entire harem today.

Today is the fourth day of the fifth month of the sixth year of the apocalypse, and the time of the apocalypse explosion in history is the sixth day of the fifth month of the sixth year of the apocalypse, which means that it will explode in less than two days.

Even before that, Zhu Youxiao was fully prepared.

For example, it took more than a month and a large amount of manpower to move the entire Wang Gong factory from the prosperous neighborhood in the southwest of the capital to a desolate and uninhabited area in the outer suburbs.

For another example, let the factory guards and Xicheng Bingmasi Yamen check all the yamen, government offices, and private houses in the southwest of the capital.

Even the Bureau of Computing Affairs has stopped doing anything recently. It is paying close attention to this matter and has not found anything suspicious.

In the end, Zhu Youxiao still felt uneasy, and sent Wang Chengen to Wang Gongchang to sit in court eight days ago.

In the past few days, as the largest arsenal in the capital, Wang Gong's factory has undergone a major change from top to bottom, and has been carefully investigated.

Wang Chengen and Jin Yiwei carefully sorted out everything from the chief craftsman and small craftsman to the chief craftsman, small craftsman, and even scribes, clerks, and factory stickers, and eliminated a large number of people whose details were unknown.

That's it, Zhu Youxiao was slightly relieved.

After all, this explosion in history not only frightened his son to death, but also caused Daming to lose gunpowder with a total power of [-] to [-] tons of TNT equivalent and a large number of firearms and equipment.

More importantly, this explosion killed many firearms experts at Wang Gong Factory, and these people are priceless treasures.

Some people even described the big bang as the beginning of the failure of the Ming Dynasty. Tell me, can Zhu Youxiao not care?

Not only was he concerned, Zhu Youxiao was terrified to death. His eyelids had been twitching for the past two days. After doing so much preparation, he was still not at ease.

At this moment, even the joy of seeing the good news has been diluted a lot, and he is thinking about whether to run out to hide in advance.

Chapter 764 Nanhaizi Palace

As night fell, Zhu Youxiao felt increasingly restless.

There are different opinions about the apocalyptic big bang in history. There have been gunpowder explosions, earthquakes, tornadoes, etc., and experts in later generations have different opinions.

As the unsolved mystery of the three major "natural" disasters in human history, no matter how you study it, no statement can fully explain the various weird events that happened before and after it.

Therefore, this matter has not been accurately concluded.

Later, even aliens, post-Jin Xizuo, and Donglin Party conspiracy... these sounds absurd at first sight.

As one of the parties involved in this incident, Zhu Youxiao has tried his best to prevent it from happening, but he is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

Is the apocalypse big bang really just an explosion caused by the mishandling of the arsenal?

Zhu Youxiao was not sure, so he could only do what he could do, run ahead of time, and solve the danger on his side first.

Upon hearing the emperor's summons, Wang Chaofu immediately got up from the bed, stood aside and asked:

"Master, what are the orders for the servants to come?"

Zhu Youxiao stood on the edge of the window eaves with his hands behind his back, opened his mouth, and was about to speak, when suddenly a little eunuch rushed over and said:

"Not good, not good."

Wang Chaofu immediately reprimanded, "What is the panic, is there any sense of dignity?"

Seeing these two uncles, Xiao Xie was even more frightened, and hurriedly knelt down and shouted: "Your maidservant is guilty, this servant girl is guilty, it's because there was a fire at the West Sixth Palace, and the matter was urgent..."

"What did you say?" Zhu Youxiao was taken aback for a moment, then turned around to look around, only to find that the palace in the west, the sky was red and the flames were rolling.

Now, it was Zhu Youxiao who was in a hurry.

Wang Chaofu accompanied the emperor to the other side, and asked, "Why did the West Sixth Palace catch fire? How is the fire? Is it under control?"

Without further ado, Zhu Youxiao rushed to the Sixth Palace of the West, looked at the busy palace people and the imperial guards of the Yongwei Battalion, and exhaled.

Fortunately, it's under control.

Zhu Youxiao's expression became a little weird. What's going on? I didn't hear that the imperial palace was on fire a few days before the apocalypse explosion in history.

It seems that in this incident, there are still many secrets that future generations do not know.

In this case, things will be difficult...

The governor of the Yongwei Battalion, Chen Ce, was commanding the imperial army to put out the fire. When he saw the emperor and his party coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to pay homage, saying:

"Your Majesty, fortunately, the palaces have added a lot of water tanks recently, and this time it has achieved a miraculous effect."

"If it weren't for these newly installed water tanks, the fire would have caused heavy damage. Thanks to His Majesty's wisdom, there were no casualties. The empress and the emperor's heirs are all fine."

Hearing these words, Zhu Youxiao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Chen Ce, this time you put out the fire in time, and you have made a contribution. Go to the Supervisor of Ceremonies to receive the reward."

"This is the duty of the minister, and I dare not take credit for it!"

After hearing Chen Ce's words, Zhu Youxiao just nodded and didn't say much.

There are quite a few beautiful women and concubines living in the West Sixth Palace, most of whom Zhu Youxiao has never even seen.

At this moment, they seemed to have finally seized the opportunity to meet the emperor, and gathered around one by one, crying together.

Zhu Youxiao heard these Yingying and Yanyan, but his mind was completely on the other side. In the entire West Sixth Palace, there were only two people he really cared about.

Because the big bang of the apocalypse was less than two days away, Zhu Youxiao had been feeling irritable for the past few days, so he ignored them and walked away.

"Noisy..."

The emperor's indifferent but merciless cold words reached the ears of beautiful women and concubines, and they were so harsh.

At a young age, she chooses to enter the palace and abandons her original youth, but only to usher in such an ending.

Even if the harem was on fire, the emperor didn't even bother to look at them a few more times. The girls looked at each other, gradually stopped crying, and stared blankly at his back.

"How is it, are you and Shu'e all right?" Zhu Youxiao threw away many beautiful women and concubines, rushed to a woman, and asked with concern.

Such a soft voice was in stark contrast to the previous indifference towards the beautiful girls and concubines. The girls saw it from a distance, and they were not without jealousy.

Tong Jing'er shook her head, hugged the eldest daughter of the emperor, and said gratifiedly: "Fortunately, the prince rushed in in time, and we didn't even inhale the smoke."

Zhu Youxiao nodded, looked to the side, and said:

"Wang Cheng'en, you are credited with rescuing the empress and noble concubine. I have promoted you to the eunuch Bingbi of the Supervisor of Ceremonies. Go to the Supervisor of Ceremonies together with Chen Ce to receive your reward."

Wang Chengen was ecstatic in his heart, but his face was extremely indifferent, he bowed slightly and retreated, leaving this time for the emperor and Concubine Yu.

Zhu Youxiao looked down at his daughter Zhu Shu'e who was still sleeping, and got up silently:

"Chuan Changchen waited for me at Xinuang Pavilion."

……

The fire in the harem this time, because it was dealt with in a timely manner, did not cause much damage, and the reconstruction after the disaster will not consume much manpower and financial resources.

Compared with the last misfire, the result this time is quite satisfactory.

But even though Zhu Youxiao was satisfied, he had to check.

Zhu Youxiao accompanied Tong Jinger and Zhu Shu'e in the harem for a while, and then returned to Xinuang Pavilion with his hands behind his back. Wei Zhongxian got the order and had been waiting here for a long time.

Wei Zhongxian had a keen mind and realized that the limelight was not right during this time.

Not to mention that the emperor first ordered the relocation of Wang Gong's factory, and then actively prepared to deal with the disaster in the palace, even among the people and officials, there are already rumors.

However, these rumors have little impact so far.

He sat in the Xinuang Pavilion and waited. Hearing the heavy footsteps behind him, he immediately got up, bowed to greet him, and said, "This old servant has seen the emperor."

"Long time no see, how is the emperor?"

"It's okay." Zhu Youxiao responded, and sat back on the Kowloon throne, and said in a deep voice: "In the past month, there have been fires inside and outside the capital. Today, there is a fire in the palace. I think someone is evil."

"I'm sending you to Dongchang to investigate secretly. I have ordered Jin Yiwei Qianhutian Ergeng to return to Beijing soon to help Dongchang investigate the case."

Wei Zhongxian had expected it a long time ago, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry, this old servant will definitely find out the truth and not let the treacherous plan succeed."

Zhu Youxiao glanced at him and said, "With you here, I can feel at ease."

"Proceed with my will, order the Yongwei Battalion to go to Nanhaizi first and take over the garrison. I will handle government affairs in Nanhaizi for the next month."

"Concubine Tai, Empress, Concubine Yu, Concubine Chun, Concubine Liang, all the beautiful women and concubines of the courts will be taken to Nanhaizi for temporary residence, and the Yongwei Battalion will be responsible for the protection."

"During the period when I was not in the inner palace, let the craftsmen investigate and repair the hidden dangers in the palaces and halls, and repair whatever they see. I don't want to hear the news of the fire in the inner palace."

Hearing this, Wei Zhongxian was shocked.

Since Ming Dynasty, the entire imperial palace has been moved to other places, even if it really only stays for a month and a half, this is a precedent.

This can only show one thing, the fire this time is not that simple, the emperor knows something and has been preparing for it recently.

Something big is going to happen!

Chapter 765 Apocalyptic Big Bang

The people in the palace only said that because of another fire, the emperor ordered the inner court to be repaired. Concubine Liu, Zhang Yan, Concubine Yu, Concubine Chun, Concubine Liang and Mongolian concubine all temporarily lived in Nanhaizi Palace.
