Zhang Zhijie entered the palace, which is very eye-catching. Because everyone knows Zhang Zhijie's influence on Emperor Zhengde, if Zhang Zhijie agrees to open the sea, then Emperor Zhengde is likely to agree to open the sea.

If Zhang Zhijie did not agree with the opening of the sea, Emperor Zhengde would have shelved the request to open the sea, and under Zhang Zhijie's persuasion, he would definitely directly refute the request to open the sea. Then no one can do anything.

The relatives of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military emperors were all nervously waiting for the final result, and even Xu Sanye, who had been guaranteed by Zhang Zhijie, was also nervously waiting.

When Zhang Zhijie went to the leopard room, countless people paid attention, and when Zhang Zhijie left the leopard room, there were still countless people. Knowing that Zhang Zhijie had left the leopard room, a question mark popped up in those people's minds, did the emperor agree to open the sea? Or did you not agree to open the sea?

Zhang Zhijie left the leopard room and went straight home, these officials and nobles scratched their ears and cheeks one by one after knowing the news, and they were very curious about the final result, and they couldn't wait to grab Zhang Zhijie's clothes and ask loudly, what happened? Of course, this can only be thought of in their hearts.

However, they didn't scratch their ears and cheeks for too long, because Emperor Zhengde soon issued a decree, and Zhang Zhijie had full authority to set up a maritime yamen and set up a city department to open the sea. The will soon reached the Cabinet, and the news broke out at once.

The imperial court is really going to open the sea! Emperor Zhengde's will has been clearly handed down to the cabinet, and the cabinet has long agreed! There is no change now, and the policy of banning the sea that has been implemented in the Ming Dynasty for more than 100 years is finally going to change!

Everywhere the news went, all the officials were shocked, there have been officials calling for the opening of the sea for more than a hundred years, but the sea ban is there! I didn't expect it to open the sea so simply and suddenly at this moment.

And those noble royal relatives did not have these feelings, they felt ecstasy, Zhang Zhijie took a trip to Haila and pulled 200 carts of silver back to Beijing. One by one, they were really shocked, and their eyes were extremely red!

Because most of their nobles and royal relatives are eating their old books, and many of them are only left with a glamorous empty skin! Now that they have such a good opportunity to make a fortune, how can they not be blushing?

Even if they don't have Zhang Zhijie's ability, even if they only have one-tenth of Zhang Zhijie's ability! Zhang Zhixing brought back the silver of the 200 carts, and they can bring back the silver of the 200 carts!

Not to mention the 20 big cars of silver, even if they can bring back the top ten cars and five big cars of silver every year, they can also live a good life! It can also change their appearance and emptiness on the inside.

Different from the ecstasy of the royal family, Xu Sanye and they sighed that they really had a long experience when they entered Beijing this time! The relatives of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military emperors jumped up and down, but as a result, it was useless! And the Admiral just entered the leopard room to see Emperor Zhengde, and everything was solved! The contrast doesn't need to be too stark!

Now that the will has come down, the Admiral will set up a maritime yamen and set up a city department to open the sea, which means that in the future, the maritime affairs will still be under the control of the Admiral! After this trip to Beijing, they understood a truth, no matter what, they should not go against the Admiral in the future!

Although the will has been handed down, Zhang Zhijie is not in a hurry to set up a maritime yamen, because Feng Haisheng and the Western firearms they brought back from overseas have finally been sorted out.

These Western firearms still occupy a very important position in Zhang Zhijie's heart, so Zhang Zhijie immediately wanted to go to the Ordnance Bureau to see what this firearm from the West was like.

However, Zhang Zhijie had to enter the palace before going to the Ordnance Bureau, because Emperor Zhengde was very interested in the firearms of these Westerners. Or that he was a little unconvinced, Zhang Zhijie always praised the firearms of Westerners, and Emperor Zhengde wanted to see if they were more powerful than the firearms of the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Zhengde and Admiral Jinyi Wei came to the Ordnance Bureau in person, this is the first time, and the entire Ordnance Bureau attaches great importance to it. A group of craftsmen gathered on the school grounds, and when they saw the mighty brocade guards escorting the carriage to the school grounds, they all knelt down.

Emperor Zhengde jumped out of the carriage and immediately rushed to the Westerners' firearms. The firearms that Feng Haisheng brought back from the West were mainly arquebuses and artillery from the Franco. Five guns, twenty arquebuses were neatly placed there.

Emperor Zhengde looked at it curiously, stepped forward and touched it: "This Franc machine's cannon doesn't look like much, it's not as powerful as our Ming cannon!" And what kind of arquebus, it looks like a bird, it looks weird, it doesn't have as many patterns as our fireworks, it looks like Wuwei! ”

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "It is said that people cannot be disguised, and sea water cannot be measured, which is also a truth when used on firearms!" ”

Emperor Zhengde was noncommittal when he heard this, and Zhang Zhijie smiled: "Is there anything to touch, let's talk about it!" ”

The ambassador of the Ordnance Bureau has been waiting by his side, the Ordnance Bureau is actually just an insignificant yamen, and the ambassador of the Ordnance Bureau is just a nine-rank official. When has the Ordnance Bureau seen such high-ranking officials and ministers as Zhang Zhijie, let alone Emperor Zhengde.

The ambassador of the Ordnance Bureau has been waiting for the two tremors on one side, and now after listening to the words of the Admiral, he hurriedly instructed the craftsman kneeling there: "Li Er Mazi, why don't you come over and explain to the emperor and the Admiral!" ”

Li Ermazi got up from the ground, hunched over, came to the back of the ambassador of the Ordnance Bureau, pounced and knelt down. Zhang Zhijie smiled and said, "Li Er Mazi? Get up, come over here! ”

Li Er Mazi raised his head cautiously, and saw the Admiral in a golden python robe smiling and waving, so he got up cautiously and walked over slowly.

As soon as he got closer, Li Ermazi's knees were about to kneel, Zhang Zhijie was already smiling and waving his hand: "Okay, don't kneel!" The emperor and the governor didn't come to the Armory Bureau to see you kneel! ”

Li Er Mazi bent his knees, kneeling is not, not kneeling. Zhang Zhijie had already smiled and said: "Li Er Mazi, have you figured out all these Westerners' firearms?" ”

When it came to firearms, Li Ermazi's face showed a different kind of brilliance, and he said with a smile: "My lord, the villain has figured out a little, and I don't know if it's right!" ”

Zhang Zhijie smiled: "Oh, then you just say come and hear it!" ”

Li Er Mazi immediately laughed and said: "This Franc machine gun, one barrel is equipped with several sub-guns, and after one gun is fired, it can be quickly loaded with another sub-gun, and the gunpowder has been loaded in the gun in advance." Several sub-guns were used in turn, which increased the rate of fire; It has a longer barrel for increased range; Thanks to the sighting device, it was possible to hit the target more accurately, and the Franc cannon was very powerful. ”
