The emperor Zhu Yuanzhang paid so much attention to the drawings that he even rushed over overnight. The person who drew the drawings must be quite trusted by Zhu Yuanzhang.

And just by looking at the content of the drawings, these people from the Baoyuan Bureau also know that anyone who can come up with such a design is amazing!

"continue."

Zhu Yuanzhang shouted again.

Just one shot cannot truly reflect the advantages of this flintlock style.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The soldier who was testing the gun immediately began to reload the ammunition. Although he was wearing a thick protective suit, he was able to finish it quickly as he had been testing guns all the time.

"Ready, let go!"

Bang!

The second shot was much crisper than the first shot, and even the white smoke seemed to float less than normal.

Target No. 2 was hit, and the way it fell to pieces proved its power.

At this moment, everyone present was excited.

The successful test firing of the second shot proved that this new design is truly feasible.

From now on, Ming Dynasty's fire cannon can be operated by a single person!

This is not a little bit of progress, this is a leap-forward improvement in combat power!

"good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang shouted.

He was as excited as anyone present.

"You, and you, I am very happy today, all of you are heavily rewarded!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said excitedly.

The improvement of firearms was of great significance to the Ming Dynasty.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Everyone present immediately knelt down and thanked Zhu Yuanzhang.

Even though Zhu Yuanzhang didn't specify what kind of reward it was, as long as it came from his mouth, it would definitely be generous.

"Hahahahaha!"

Zhu Yuanzhang drove directly back to the palace with this first new-style fire gun.

As soon as they arrived at the palace, Queen Ma rushed over anxiously.

"You all should leave."

Zhu Yuanzhang said to the people around him.

After waiting for the crowd to disperse, Queen Ma said with a straight face: "Chongba, what's the matter with you? You left the palace in the middle of the night and didn't even sleep. You really don't take your body seriously."

"You already deal with enough government affairs on weekdays, but you don't rest at night. You are not so diligent in work!"

Although he was teaching Zhu Yuanzhang a lesson, his words were full of concern.

You know, Zhu Yuanzhang's work and rest schedule is already super high-intensity.

Every day before dawn, I get up at four or five in the morning.

After changing clothes and washing up, I reviewed a few memorials.

At five or six o'clock, it was his study time. Because he was poor in his early years, he had no time to study and had to make up lessons.

At six or seven o'clock, we have breakfast and prepare lesson plans for the upper court. We have to know everything we want to talk about and discuss.

From 7:30 to 11 o'clock, after the court meeting, I mainly spent time in Fengxian Hall, dealing with memorials, summoning the heads of various departments, and discussing solutions.

From 11 o'clock to 11:30, I took a nap and turned over the cards.

After that it was lunch time, and Zhu Yuanzhang would not waste too much time on it.

At twelve o'clock, when Zhu Biao was there, it was time for him and Prince Zhu Biao to be alone together.

Ask Zhu Biao about his views on state affairs and teach him how to handle government affairs.

Usually lasts about an hour.

Then from one to three o'clock, important ministers will be called to hold a small meeting to discuss national policies.

After that, the memorial will be reviewed, and the time will depend on the number of memorials.

If there are too many, you can mark them later. If there are too few, you can have time to leave Fengxian Hall at 5 or 6 p.m. to go shopping, go to the main hall to see other sons taking exams for school exams, etc.

It doesn't take long to have dinner after six o'clock, because after eating, you have to continue dealing with government affairs and take some time to study.

At ninety o'clock, I chatted with Queen Ma to relieve stress.

This was the most relaxing time of the day for Zhu Yuanzhang.

Of course, sometimes Empress Ma would take the initiative to show some care when handling government affairs, such as sending some cakes and soup.

After all, for high-intensity work, it is important to replenish energy in time.

Then there were the concubines who slept with him, but Zhu Yuanzhang never let his concubines stay overnight.

As soon as twelve o'clock passed, the concubine had to leave, and Zhu Yuanzhang went to bed alone in the palace.

However, if the person sleeping with you is Queen Ma, then this is an exception.

In general, Zhu Yuanzhang's daily work and study time is more than ten hours.

It's open all year round.

With such intensity and staying up most of the night, no wonder Queen Ma was so worried.

If he really does this, even if Zhu Yuanzhang is in good health, he will still collapse.

"Sister, I'm fine. During the uprising, there were a lot of big and small battles. I just didn't sleep. I can handle it."

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately patted his chest, looking like he was doing well.

"You're still trying to be brave! You don't want to go to the morning meeting today, do you? Go and rest first!"

Queen Ma said rather forcefully.

It's almost morning time now.

But Zhu Yuanzhang stayed up all night. In Queen Ma's heart, Zhu Yuanzhang's health was more important.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: "Don't worry, sister, I have canceled today's morning meeting. We will talk about it in the afternoon."

After hearing this, Queen Ma breathed a sigh of relief.

But then, Zhu Yuanzhang's next sentence made her blood pressure rise again.

"Sister, I have something else to do. I'll go to bed after I'm done."

"Chongba, what happened?"

Zhu Yuanzhang did not sleep like this, and Empress Ma also realized that things might not be simple.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Sister, look at this."

Zhu Yuanzhang did not let go of the new fire gun in his hand for more than half a second.

A perfect interpretation of the love you can’t put down.

"Isn't this just a firecracker? Did you just do it all night?"

Queen Ma said a little puzzled.

Although she had never used a firecracker, she had seen it before.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and explained to Queen Ma: "Yes, but this fire gun is not simple. Look here, a flint is added..."

Zhu Yuanzhang excitedly explained the structure of this new fire gun to Queen Ma.

His emphasis on firearms is completely reflected in his words.

The structure of the fire gun was unique to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Even with this new style of firecracker, he still understands it very well.

As the first one to see the drawings, he had already studied them.

Now that there is something actually made, Zhu Yuanzhang is both excited and excited when talking about it.

Queen Ma actually didn't understand much, but she understood a little.

It is this firecracker that can greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the Daming Shenji Battalion.

That's enough!

"I see. I asked you, Chongba, why are you so impatient? But since the fire blunderbuss has been made, let Baoyuan Bureau continue to build it. Why don't you go and rest first, Chongba?"

Queen Ma said to Zhu Yuanzhang.
