At this moment, Zheng He suddenly came back with a memorial.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Preceptor has something to report."

Zhu Di unfolded it in a hurry, and immediately felt a little confused.

"You want a large number of craftsmen from the Military War Bureau to take the Yangtze River waterway and then by sea to Songjiang Prefecture? In addition, you also need to carry a batch of gunpowder?"

"What does the Imperial Master want to do?"

However, despite his doubts, Zhu Di still maintained his trust in Jiang Xinghuo and changed his order.

"Liu Qianshi, you can go to Songjiang with the craftsmen of the War Bureau with your matchlocks and bronze cannons. The Imperial Guard said he has a way to connect Dahuangpu and Wusong River, and then transport the supplies to the front line by water."

Liu Sheng bowed and asked, "But I would like to ask your Majesty's permission to bring some military students who are well-trained in artillery skills to go with me."

"Of course you can."

Therefore, Liu Sheng and a large number of craftsmen from the War Bureau, as well as Xu Jingchang, Zhu Yong, Zhang Anshi and other military cadets, took several ships of gunpowder and, under the escort of Zheng He, embarked on a new journey.

Jiang Xinghuo didn't know that the memorial he took the time to write before the banquet for the local gentry in Songjiang Prefecture was just to attract some people to help, but it suddenly attracted so many reinforcements.

In fact, this is also the first time that gunpowder and firearms have exerted enough power to impress the ruling and opposition parties in a specific incident.
