Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 859

However, the matter was of great importance, and Wei Wu could not conceal it, so he pondered for a moment and then spoke:

"Uncle Zhu, the most troublesome thing about the artillery in the hands of the Japanese pirates is not that they have obtained the manufacturing technology."

"Instead, they had already obtained the finished product before acquiring the manufacturing technology, and it even flowed out from the Ming Dynasty."

"What you just said is correct. Someone did betray the Ming Dynasty, but... I'm afraid you can't kill his entire clan."

Upon hearing Wei Wu's words, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately frowned. He knew that Wei Wu would not speak nonsense about such matters.

Now that Wei Wu said this, it proves that this matter is far more troublesome than he thought.

So the question is, as the emperor of the Ming Empire, there is no one in this land whom he cannot kill with his entire clan.

If there is, then he must be involved, because he himself is among these nine clans, so he cannot be killed.

So after Wei Wu finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang lowered his brows and remained silent for a while before slowly speaking:

"It's because of us, right!"

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's current appearance, Wei Wu couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes! Whether it was the one who supported the two traitors from the Institute of Science and Technology or the one who sold the artillery to the Japanese pirates, it was all that Jin merchant."

"Uncle Zhu, I'm sure you're familiar with Jin. That place is now the fief of the King of Jin!"

After hearing Wei Wu's words, Zhu Yuanzhang slowly closed his eyes, and his expression showed how sad he was.

He thought of many possibilities, but the only thing he never thought was that the person who betrayed the Ming Dynasty would be his own good son.

But Zhu Yuanzhang was upset not only because of Prince Jin, but also because he couldn't figure out what he had done wrong.

At the beginning, it was from Wei Wu that we learned that the fourth son, Prince Yan, launched the Jingnan Rebellion to usurp the throne. Fortunately, because of Wei Wu's existence, this would not happen.

Then came the cruelty of the second son, King Qin. It was thanks to Wei Wu that the current King Qin changed.

Now it's his third son, Prince of Jin. What sin did Zhu Yuanzhang commit to raise such a group of sinful things?

Just as Zhu Yuanzhang was feeling uncomfortable, Zhu Biao beside him could no longer bear it.

"Xiao Wu, are you saying that the person who betrayed the Ming Dynasty and sold the artillery to the Japanese pirates was my third brother?"

Although Zhu Biao is a veteran Tangyuan maker, his feelings for his younger brothers are unquestionable.

Now that he heard that Prince Jin had actually betrayed the Ming Dynasty, how could he accept it and how could he remain calm?

Wei Wu also knew that it was difficult for them to accept, but after a moment of silence he continued:

"The Japanese pirate who was doing business with that Jin merchant was called Hosokawa Sawato. He fell into my hands and I got a lot of information out of him."

"Brother, you should also know that all firearms manufactured by our Daming Guards will be engraved with the date and place of production."

"Among the cannons that Hosokawa Sawato bought, the inscriptions on most of them had been worn off, but one of them hadn't been completely worn off."

"I can vaguely see that it's Yuanwei. The only four garrisons related to these two words are Taiyuan's front, back, left, and right garrisons!"

Even though Zhu Biao was unwilling to accept this fact in his heart, he had to admit that what Wei Wu said was right.

The facts are before our eyes.

At this moment, the expression on Zhu Biao's face was even more painful than Zhu Yuanzhang's!

The eldest brother is like a father. When the Ming Dynasty was not yet established, Zhu Yuanzhang was busy conquering the world, and all his younger brothers were raised by Zhu Biao.

Although there was not much difference in age between them, their identities and status were different, and Zhu Biao did fulfill his responsibilities as an older brother.

But who would have thought that the fourth brother participated in the Jingnan Rebellion, the second brother was cruel and inhumane, and now the third brother is even involved in betraying the Ming Dynasty.

Artillery is a national weapon and the most sensitive. It is only deployed at border crossings, coastal defenses, and strategic military locations.

Among these places where artillery was placed, it would be best if one could be found to be related to the "original guards".
