I am the king of the dead

After the news of the assassination of the king spread, the courtiers were not ready to move, but they were relieved when they saw that His Majesty Fengtian Palace was still full of energy.

The current capital needs His Majesty too much.

His Majesty had just won the battle to defend the capital, when such an outrageous thing happened, almost all the courtiers in the court hall were filled with righteous indignation, even Xu Youzhen, who was from the Welcome Sect, was trembling with fright, and expressed his position on behalf of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

This kind of person, if arrested, must be executed immediately!Even the family members beheaded for public display!

But how to catch people?

Lu Zhong scattered all the Tiqi, and he was in Jinyiwei's yamen, waiting for the news of the scattered minions.

Lu Zhong's anxiety was visible to the naked eye, his forehead was covered with a layer of sweat, and the hand holding the Xiuchun knife was also trembling.

He must use the fastest speed to catch this damned Liu Yu who was premeditated!

Otherwise, some courtiers will be distracted.

Jin Yiwei has the responsibility of resisting arrest and interrogation. They are independent from the judiciary and are directly under the emperor.

Tiqi is the sword in His Majesty's hand!Courtiers will lose respect if their swords are not sharp enough!

This is unacceptable to Tiqi who is loyal to His Majesty.

A Ti Qi rushed in like a wind, and put a scroll in front of Lu Zhong.

"Report! Commander Lu! Under investigation, the people in Chaoyangmen reported that someone had recently visited the old house of Dushi's internal official Han Zheng, and there were still people who lingered! He spoke with a Dushi accent and copied the portrait!"

Another Tiqi rushed into the Yamen again, bowed his head and shouted loudly: "Report, the people outside Chaoyang Gate take the initiative to report! The caravan with Dushi accent is heading north from outside Chaoyang Gate!"

Lu Zhong stood up and said: "Get the portrait quickly, go and identify it! Especially the features of the eyebrows, mouth and nose, interrogate clearly!"

There are a lot of reports of this kind today. Tiqi crosses the road, and there are always people who report their traces to merchants and traveling merchants with a Dushi accent according to the notices posted by the government.

There are also some merchants and refugees from Dushi in the capital.

However, His Majesty's assassination was done by Dushi people, and the merchants and refugees of Dushi were so excited that they took the initiative to verify their integrity in the Yamen.

Monoliths have no two minds, they are loyal, and they are the actions of individuals.

The merchants and refugees who came and went to and from the Dushiren, all went to the Yamen to verify their identities within almost a day.

With more and more information, the case became clear.

"Report! The people of Miyun came to report on their own initiative. A caravan with a Dushi accent came to Miyun and traveled for half a day in the direction of Juyongguan!"

Lu Zhong didn't move, he was still waiting.

until sunset.

"Report! Report from the hotel outside Juyongguan, the caravan with a Dushi accent has already settled down!" a Tiqi shouted, panting with dry mouth and tongue.

When the news came, everyone used the fastest time to gather the news to Lu Zhong.

Lu Zhong closed his eyes and opened his eyes immediately, and shouted loudly: "Han Qianhu, Zhao Qianhu, Wang Qianhu, each with fifty tyrants, and go out of Beijing with someone!"

"Here!"

This is the last news received today. With the continuous investigation and news reports, the figure of Liu Yu, who was not able to escape in one hit, has appeared in front of Lu Zhong.

His Majesty spread out some plausible gunpowder prescriptions, but they still worked. This guy has shown himself!

Lu Zhong took a 150-ti horse and rushed straight to the inn outside Juyongguan.

The hostel also functions as a teahouse and a dining hall. It is a small village outside Juyongguan, which provides a place for passing merchants to rest.

In the past two days since King Assassin killed Jia, all the hostels have received news, and today the Ti Qi even sent portraits.

After Lu Zhong received so many messages, he knew for sure that Liu Yu was here.

"Wang Qianhu, you go to block the mountain road, Zhao Qianhu, you go to surround the mountain forest behind the hostel, if anyone escapes, he will be killed!"

"Han Qianhu, follow someone to break down the door, leaving ten people waiting outside."

Lu Zhong got off his horse, squinted at the inn a hundred steps away, and said, "Move."

The Tiqis quietly moved towards the hostel.

At this time, Liu Yu was looking at a lot of formulas in his hand, and fell into deep thought.

Which one is true?

He was delayed for half a day because of these plausible gunpowder formulas, but he looked at these formulas and had no idea which one was real.

If it weren't for these formulas, he would have already run outside Juyongguan by now.

But when he thought of the task that he had to confess if he couldn't finish it, his whole body trembled. If he was ordered to go back, he might not be able to survive.

So he knew it might be a trap, but he still had to look for a prescription.

In a dangerous way, after obtaining these formulas, he found that he was completely unable to distinguish the authenticity of these formulas.

Have you been fooled?

Liu Yu frowned and looked at the several recipes in front of him, with a heavy expression on his face.

He had no idea that he had been tightly surrounded by Tiqis in this small hostel.

The Tiqi are the elite of the Ming Dynasty elite, and their bodies and movements are very subtle.

Liu Yu sighed, Han'er's job is really difficult.

He stood up and came to the door, wanting Xiao Er to get some food, but just as he opened the door, Lu Zhong's pistol hit Liu Yu's forehead.

"Take it!" Lu Zhong kicked Liu Yu to the ground with one foot, and rushed up from left to right, tying him tightly, even his legs.

Liu Yu didn't even have room to struggle, and he was tied firmly.

It's okay if you can't walk with your legs tied. When you walk, Tiqi can carry him back, and he doesn't need to walk.

"How did you find me!" Liu Yu shouted in horror as she was pinned to the ground.

He never expected that he would be arrested so soon. His adoptive father, Han Zheng, was guarded by Dushi, and he knew very well how slow Daming was in handling things.

He showed up less than half a day before he was caught?

Of course he didn't know, along the way, his news was told by the people who had seen the government's announcement to the Tiqi who were scattered everywhere.

Lu Zhong looked around, tore off Liu Yu's sock, and stuffed it into Liu Yu's mouth.

"Noisy." Lu Zhong waved his hand, signaling Tiqi to enter the room and seize everything.

The reason why he blocked Liu Yu's mouth was because he was afraid that he would bite his tongue. Although he would not die, he would not be able to speak for a short period of time, which would be troublesome.

Of course, Lu Zhong doesn't think that this kind of man has the courage to bite his tongue.

After careful investigation, Lu Zhong returned to Beijing with Liu Yu on his shoulders.

At night, Lu Zhong finally got a complete interrogation and conclusive evidence, and brought all the case files to Prince Yi's mansion.

The affairs of the country are difficult, and Zhu Qiyu is also very hard, with a lot of thoughts.

Of the 66 people who died in Wenwu in Beijing, 18 were Wu Xun, and the rest were bureaucrats. He must be extremely cautious in every appointment to these positions.

The only thing that matters is equipment and name, you can't be a fake person, and you must be cautious in every appointment.

The censors of the procuratorates in various places also need to be replaced.

Zhu Mingmen's employment depends entirely on his own wishes, and even Zhu Qiyu can see the clues of some people's resumes, and they are not suitable people.

"Your Majesty, I caught Liu Yu." Lu Zhong was finally able to straighten his back in front of His Majesty, and was able to speak loudly.

Even if the assassination of the king was a long-planned enemy agent activity, if he didn't catch anyone, it would be his dereliction of duty!

As His Majesty's minions, it was his fault that they were not sharp enough.

Now he has finally caught him.

"Very good, only one day has passed since the ten-day limit you mentioned. Very good!" Zhu Qiyu picked up the case file that Lu Zhong handed over, and nodded incessantly.

Lu Zhong took down a spy who was hiding so deeply so quickly.

Whenever the courtiers dared to do something bad, they had to ask themselves and their family members whether their necks were stiff or His Majesty Ming's knives were sharp.

It's a deterrent.

This is very helpful to Zhu Qiyu's implementation of the official house law and the implementation of the farm law.

The faster the emperor's knife, the more afraid these bureaucrats will be.

Refusing to use a knife, afraid of using a knife, in Daming, it is not good to be an emperor.

"There are other party members!" Zhu Qiyu put down the case, Liu Yu is the chief culprit, but he is not alone, there are some spies.

Zhu Qiyu said very confidently: "Get rid of the evil!"

"Commander Lu, I order you to add to this case, arrest all of them and bring them to justice, no matter whose servants are involved, investigate and deal with them."

"It must be strictly enforced, otherwise how can we gain authority?"

"The minister leads the order!" Lu Zhong bowed his head and took the order.

When it comes to catching spies, we have to dig to the bottom, and there is no room for forgiveness.

Zhu Qiyu looked at the case file, and what surprised him the most was not only Lu Zhong's ability to handle the case, but also the provider of these clues.

I have guarded the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and the people in the capital have reported clues enthusiastically, which is very comfortable.

With a flash of inspiration, he said with a smile on his face, "Also, the people inside and outside Chaoyang Gate, the people in Miyun, and the Jingji Hotel all provided precious clues."

"Is it possible to give some appropriate silver taels as a reward?"

"There are millions of people in the capital, and there are more than three million people in the capital. Is it possible to catch spies with just 5000 people?"

"This time, the common people actively provided clues. If a certain amount of reward is given, this matter will not become a source of water, but can become a common practice."

"From one tael to 50 taels of silver, according to the importance of clues, is this a good way?"

Zhu Qiyu put forward a point of view, which made Lu Zhong feel suddenly enlightened. This method of relying on the common people to handle the case is indeed a wonderful method.

Especially this kind of thing of finding a needle in a haystack and catching spies is indeed an effective method.

"Your Majesty leads the decree!" Lu Zhong bowed his head again, His Majesty's wonderful ideas can always solve many difficult problems so skillfully.

"Well, what's more, the gunpowder workshop of Wang Gong Factory should also be kept an eye on. I don't want the Wala people to have new gunpowder, at least not for a few years."

Zhu Qiyu's exhortation was very solemn.

Chapter 1 The Emperor of Ming Dynasty Observes the People's Feelings

Zhu Qiyu strongly disagrees with the view that science has no borders.

The four great inventions of the Central Plains Dynasty spread to the West, which directly promoted the Renaissance in the West. The result of learning from the east and west was a century of humiliation.

There is no such reason in the world for others to take their own technology and bully themselves in turn.

Zhu Qiyu would rather not be able to distinguish the true from the false, even if it is black powder, he is not willing to spread it to the outside world.

Black powder is still quite powerful.

There was a Civil War in America.

The Northern Industrial Group, represented by Lincoln, fought against the Federal Group of southern farmers. Although there were many new firearm applications on the battlefield, such as time-delay fuzes, cannons, and so on.

But the use of gunpowder is still black powder.

Moreover, applied engineering is a gradual process. In the early stage, smokeless powder was inferior to black powder in terms of stability, reliability, and power. It took nearly 30 years to complete the replacement of smokeless powder with black powder.

But it does not mean that black powder has officially withdrawn from the stage of history. For example, the famous 69-type 40 fire is black powder projectile.

The prescription that Zhu Qiyu is holding now is the finished black gunpowder. If calculated according to the Western calendar, it will not be outdated in 500 years, and at least it can maintain the leading level for 200 years.

Why let others know?

Okay, cover it up.

Zhu Qiyu, the emperor, is very petty.

He thought about it for a long time, and expanded production was inevitable. The nitrate cooking camp in Tongzhou needed to expand production, and the output of the nitrate cooking camp could no longer meet the needs of the expanding Wang Gongchang gunpowder factory.

The Beijing camp of the Ming Dynasty urgently needs to restore its combat effectiveness, so a lot of training is inseparable. Sweat more during training, so that you can bleed less when fighting.

The use of firearms is an inescapable link for the Ming army. The previous training volume of 30 rounds in 30 days has been forcibly increased by Zhu Qiyu to the requirement of shooting training of [-] rounds in [-] days.

And Jin Yiwei has a training volume of 30 rounds in [-] days, and all of them are hand guns, hand gun teams.

The pistol team has been affirmed by history in the melee of the Beiyang warlords. For example, Feng Yuxiang has a special pistol team responsible for security work.
