Chapter 673: Another Lecture in the Imperial Prison Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, he did not expect that the rebellion would happen at this juncture. He took a deep breath and said calmly, "Everyone return to their posts immediately. We must deal with the rebellion as soon as possible." The artillery was ready for battle. The hall suddenly became noisy. Officials left one after another, busy sorting out their equipment. The artillery was loaded onto the car and began to gather towards the border troops. Cannon, are you ready? Zhu Yuanzhang walked to the cannon and patted its body gently. The cannon did not answer, but Zhu Yuanzhang could feel that it seemed to be telling everyone that it was fully prepared. The team stopped at the border, and a messy scene came into everyone's eyes. The enemy had carried out crazy destruction here, and looting was almost everywhere, causing the entire border to fall into chaos. Officials ordered the army to reorganize and prepare to meet the enemy's attack. Zhu Yuanzhang stood in the front, silently watching the arrogant faces of the enemy. After Commander Gu Bao scanned the area with a telescope, he turned back and reported to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, the enemy is huge, with at least three thousand people. When they saw our artillery, they were afraid and looked hesitant." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly. He understood that the existence of artillery had changed the balance of power on the battlefield. A sense of confidence rose in his heart, believing that through the power of artillery, the enemy could be defeated. The artillery fired. At Zhu Yuanzhang's command, the artillery made a deafening roar, and a huge fireball gushed out, like a lightning bolt splitting the sky. The shells whizzed past and accurately hit the enemy's position. A burst of screams rang out, and dozens of enemy soldiers were blown into the air and fell to the ground in pieces. Faced with such terrible power, the enemy's morale collapsed immediately and they retreated one after another. Zhu Yuanzhang saw all this, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He knew clearly that as long as the artillery continued to bombard, the enemy would not be able to resist. The artillery roared, sparks flew, and shells were fired one after another, like a tiger's body swiftly pouncing and killing, repelling the enemy. The battle was fierce, but the power of the artillery gave Zhu Yuanzhang and his officials hope. After active cooperation, they successfully repelled the enemy. After the battle, Zhu Yuanzhang carried the officials across the battlefield. They were surrounded by fallen enemies and their own soldiers. Zhu Yuanzhang silently sighed that the price they paid was so huge, but they also proved the value and power of artillery. This was a hard-fought victory, but it was only the beginning. Zhu Yuanzhang whispered that he was determined to continue to promote the country's modernization based on artillery. In the future, they would not only be the guardians of the border, but also the weapons for conquering cities. Returning to the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang summoned the artillery research and development team to commend their hard work and contributions. They stood up one by one and saluted Zhu Yuanzhang, expressing their gratitude and determination to serve him. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at these people who silently risked their lives, and his heart was filled with gratitude and humility. The birth of artillery is inseparable from the efforts and contributions of everyone. It is their unity and cooperation that make this great achievement a reality. The road ahead is more difficult, but I believe that we will meet the challenge and move towards a more glorious tomorrow, Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly, his voice was loud and clear, making everyone feel hope and confidence, and everyone nodded in agreement. They stared at Zhu Yuanzhang, their eyes flashing with expectation and determination for the future. Zhu Yuanzhang came to the imperial prison, eager to eavesdrop on Lin Che's lecture today. Hesitant about the importance, Zhu Yuanzhang chose the prince to accompany him alone. They came to the gate of the imperial prison, and some of Jingzhou walked in. However, when they arrived at the imperial prison, they found that Lin Che had not started the lecture yet. Zhu Di and Zhu Chong were chatting in the imperial prison. They were very excited and seemed to have prepared a lot of delicious food to entertain Lin Che. The table was filled with a variety of delicacies, exuding an enticing aroma. Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao looked at the temptation of the food and were drooling. These dishes seemed ordinary, but the superior cooking skills and carefully selected ingredients made our harmonious dishes appear particularly delicious in the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang and others. Zhu Di introduced to Lin Che with a smile, "Mr. Lin, I know you have always had a good appetite, so I specially prepared a few specialties, I hope you can taste them." Lin Che smiled and said modestly: "Hahaha, okay, I'm just a scholar. It's my honor to have the opportunity to taste so many delicious dishes." After saying that, his eyes stopped on a dish of crispy grass pigeon on the table. The pigeon's skin was crispy and crispy, while the inside was tender, juicy and fragrant, making people salivate. Lin Che took the chopsticks handed over by Zhu Di, carefully picked up a piece of pigeon meat, put it in his mouth, chewed it carefully and nodded. "Boy, this crispy grass pigeon is a rare delicacy with a delicate texture and delicious taste. It is simply the best of cooking." Zhu Di smiled happily after hearing this. He was very interested in the appetite of Lin Che, a gourmet. Zhu Chong looked at Lin Che's expression and couldn't help moving his chopsticks. He gently picked up a small piece of tender pigeon meat with a slender white jade hand and put it in his mouth. After taking a bite, his eyes lit up and he exclaimed in praise, saying that this crispy grass pigeon was unimaginably delicious, tender, juicy and very tasty. Zhu Di looked at Zhu Chong's expression and couldn't help but feel curious. He couldn't help but put a small piece of meat into his mouth. A delicious taste instantly filled his taste buds and made him intoxicated. After tasting this tasteless crispy grass pigeon, Zhu Di asked Lin Che to introduce other delicacies. On the table, there were also golden and crispy fried shrimp balls, steamed buns, fragrant braised pork and so on.

Every dish was fresh, tender, and full of color, aroma and taste. Lin Che, with his keen sense of taste and unique sense of smell, gave a meticulous evaluation of these delicacies. Every word he said was so insightful that Zhu Di and Zhu Chong could not help but admire his talent. As the meal progressed, the atmosphere became relaxed and pleasant. Next door, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said to himself, "Lin Che, I didn't come to the imperial prison today just to eavesdrop on your lectures. I hope to learn from your talent and wisdom and make suggestions for the court." Zhu Di and Zhu Chong who were walking with him next door also cast expectant glances at Lin Che. They hoped that Lin Che could help them solve the current predicament. Lin Che smiled slightly, and a sense of mission surged in his heart. After all, he was a time traveler and had a little understanding of the development of history. He knew that there were many drawbacks and problems in the Ming Dynasty during this period. He had to learn a sense of responsibility for the rise of these two guys. Before, Lin Che told them some of his views and suggestions on the Ming Dynasty court in the past. He talked about the corruption of the government, the lax administration, and the financial difficulties. (End of this chapter)
