Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1078

In other words, under Yao Guangxiao's operation, the Northern Yuan Dynasty has now entered the steam industry era.

Now all the problems are correct.

Bei Yuan had blueprints for steam engines and rifled flintlock rifles, but he lacked the time and various resources required.

Therefore, the development is not particularly fast. At present, it can only equip a small part of the troops and cannot arm the entire army.

Although the Ming Dynasty had the technology and resources, its early industrial capacity was insufficient and it was unable to quickly equip its entire army.

After all, Sun Chang’s homemade machine tool had just been made. Before that, everyone was scrambling to use industrial machine tools.

For this reason, Yang Chao led the firearms team for a long time, rubbing the gun barrels and rifling with his painful hands.

Although the nine border checkpoints are important, they need to be equipped one by one, and now it is the Hongwu period, not the Yongle period.

The capital of the Ming Dynasty was in Yingtian Prefecture in Jiangnan, so the important cities near Peking were not the first to be equipped.

What's more, the Ningshan Guard led by Zhu Biao and the two supporting guards were not guards in important border towns.

Now Wei Wu can basically be sure of one thing: there are two reasons why the Northern Yuan Dynasty suddenly attacked Datong this time.

First of all, the Crown Prince Zhu Biao of the Ming Dynasty is here. As long as he is caught, Zhu Biao's identity as the crown prince can be used to control the Ming Dynasty.

Secondly, it is for testing. After all, it is a new firearm and equipment, and it needs to be verified through actual combat on the battlefield.

If the two key conditions are met at the same time, then there will be no disadvantages for the Northern Yuan Dynasty in launching a local war.

Facts have proved that the Northern Yuan Dynasty's decision was correct. It crippled three Ming Dynasty garrisons and besieged the Ming Dynasty's crown prince in Jin.

After pondering for a long time, Wei Wu took a deep breath, raised his head and looked at Heilang and asked:

"So, His Majesty sent you to inform me that he wants me to go to Jin and rescue His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"No, sir!"

As soon as Wei Wugang finished speaking, Hei Lang immediately denied it and explained:

"Your Majesty has no intention of sending you to Jin. I sent this official to Suzhou only to inform you to return to the capital immediately for consultation."

"If we return to Beijing, what will we do about the land tax system in Jiangnan?"

Hearing Wei Wu's question, Black Wolf shook his head in response.

"Sir, His Majesty did not discuss the issue of the land tax with me. He only asked me to come and escort you back to the capital."

After Heilang finished speaking, Wei Wu fell silent again. To be honest, it was impossible for him to return to Beijing now.

It’s not because the land-based tax system is being implemented. Anyway, the overall situation in Suzhou has been determined, and we can just follow the steps from now on.

The real reason why Wei Wu was unwilling to return to the capital was that Zhu Biao was now trapped in Jin and his life was in danger at any time.

With the current mobility, it is unknown how long it will take for the court to dispatch troops.

The situation in Jin is now critical. The faster the reaction, the higher the chance of rescuing Zhu Biao.

Otherwise, if Zhu Biao died in Jin, the historical trajectory that Wei Wu had worked so hard to change would return to the starting point.

Therefore, Zhu Biao must not die. From Wei Wu's perspective, Zhu Biao must not die both for public and private reasons.

From a public perspective, Zhu Biao was the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty and the next emperor. He was also a person who strongly supported Wei Wu's scientific research.

On a personal and emotional level, Zhu Biao always cared for and loved him like his own brother.

People's hearts are not made of iron. Wei Wu also regarded Zhu Biao as his elder brother, but now his elder brother is in danger.

It is impossible for Wei Wu to watch his elder brother being killed when he is clearly capable of doing so!

It would take time for the garrison troops to rush to the rescue, but Wei Wu had a helicopter and could get there in a few hours.

After making the decision in his heart, Wei Wu no longer hesitated and looked up at the black wolf.

"I'm afraid I can't go back to the capital with you. Go back and tell His Majesty that I'm going to Jin to rescue my elder brother!"

"what!"

After hearing what Wei Wu said, Heilang felt terrible and his face looked as ugly as if he had eaten a fly.

It’s another case of disobeying the imperial order, and it’s still the same problem.

The last time in Japan, the emperor ordered Wei Wu to be brought back to the capital, and then Wei Wu directly disobeyed the order.

This time in Suzhou, the emperor again ordered Wei Wu to be brought back to the capital, but he again directly disobeyed the order.

Unfortunately, he came alone, and Shen Lin and Zhang Hai were standing next to Wei Wu, so they couldn't use force.

He couldn't handle Shen Lin alone, not to mention that he also sensed dangerous information from Zhang Hai.

Anyone who can stand beside Wei Wu with Shen Lin must be no worse than Shen Lin in skills and martial arts.

After struggling for a while, Black Wolf could only look at Wei Wu with a bitter face and asked in a low voice:

"Sir, are you going to disobey my order again?"

"Yes, that's right. Just consider it as me disobeying His Majesty's order. Go back and explain it clearly to His Majesty. Don't worry, His Majesty won't blame you!"

After saying this, Wei Wu laughed and pointed at Shen Lin and Zhang Hai beside him and said:

"With them by my side, you can't take me away. Instead of wasting time, you should return to the capital as soon as possible to report. What do you think?"

"Oh! I understand, Lord Zhenguogong. I will report the truth to His Majesty when I return to the capital!"

"Go ahead! Oh, by the way, there's one more thing. Please tell His Majesty about this. I'll arrange for someone to handle the tax-to-land distribution issue!"

Hearing this, Heilang said nothing more. He nodded at Wei Wu and turned away.

After Heilang left, Wei Wu did not stay any longer and took Shen Lin and Zhang Hai back to the inn.

This time, the national policy will be implemented in addition to Suzhou, as well as other areas in Jiangnan. Wei Wu needs to make arrangements in advance before leaving.

After returning to the posthouse, Wei Wu immediately sent someone to call Zheng Shiye and dozens of officials from the Ministry of Revenue to his presence.

After everyone arrived, Wei Wu looked directly at Master Zheng and instructed:

"I'm leaving Suzhou now, and I'll leave the implementation of the tax-to-land system to you."

"The overall situation in Suzhou has been determined. You can hand over the work to Zhu Zongshan and then go directly to other areas to continue implementing national policies."

After saying this, Wei Wu turned and looked at the officials from the Ministry of Revenue.

"You will be responsible for cooperating with Master Zheng from now on. Do you understand?"

"Yes, my lord!"

The officials from the Ministry of Revenue answered in unison. Wei Wu said nothing more and took Shen Lin and Zhang Hai directly to the outside of the city.

Then he waved his hand and took out a helicopter from the system warehouse!
