Chapter 604 Conspiracy

After seeing the warship, King Yu was shocked. He never dreamed that there would be such a large warship.

"Well. All are made of iron. Let's go up and take a look!" Zhang Hao said, and then he went through the gangway to the side of the warship. The warship was already laying the deck.

King Yu was also very curious. He stood on the deck and looked down at it, very high.

"Be careful, go and come down with me!" Zhang Hao said as he entered the bridge, went down from inside, and got down below, and saw rows of cannons, all of which were fixed in their positions.

"Are these artillery?" King Yu asked.

"Well, artillery, these are specifically designed to deal with Japanese pirates, and in addition to dealing with sea warships from other countries!" Zhang Hao said to King Yu with a smile.

"Good thing, is this warship invincible?" King Yu still looked at Zhang Hao excitedly and asked.

"Now, it's true. However, the war is hard to say. It's not that anyone with good equipment can win. There are many factors that affect it. However, if the other party's warship is bombarded by us with cannons, it will probably be very troublesome!" Zhang Hao nodded with a smile,

Then I continued to look at the warship. The upper floor is the cannon, the lower floor is the place where the soldiers live, or the ammunition depot, but there is no ammunition inside now. Then I went down and it was divided into many areas. Zhang Hao also introduced it to King Yu.

"Your Highness, do you know how much land there is outside the Ming Dynasty?" Zhang Hao looked at King Yu and asked.

"How old is it?" King Yu looked at Zhang Hao incomprehensible and asked.

"At least ten times more than our Ming Dynasty. No, not only it is probably twenty times more. If we take all those lands back, it will be our Ming Dynasty territory. At that time, my Ming Dynasty flag can be inserted throughout the whole world!" Zhang Hao said happily as he looked at King Yu.

"So big?" King Yu looked at Zhang Hao in surprise and asked.

"Yes, it's so big. Do you think we want these lands?" Zhang Hao said to King Yu. Ambitions must be cultivated since childhood. King Yu is still young now. Indoctrinating his ideas at this time will make King Yu ignite ambitions. In this way, at least he will not be a fool in the future!

"I definitely want it, Brother Man, then you will take our Ming army back!" King Yu's face turned red with excitement and said to Zhang Hao.

"Well, these warships can send us to those places. We use cannons to open their national gates and make their army surrender!" Zhang Hao said to King Yu with a smile. When King Yu heard this, he also laughed.

Then Zhang Hao continued to take King Yu to visit. All morning, Zhang Hao took King Yu to see the docks. King Yu was very surprised. There were too many warships under construction here. He did not expect that Zhang Hao would do such a big thing here.

"It's so majestic. If my father saw it, I don't know how happy he would be!" King Yu stood there and said with emotion.

"That's right, your father hasn't seen these warships. If you have seen them, I believe that the emperor will definitely order my Ming army to hurry up and train, and we should go and rob it!" Zhang Hao said to King Yu with a smile.

"Let your father come and have a look!" King Yu said happily.

"That must be. When the warship is launched, we will ask His Majesty to come and see!" Zhang Hao said with a smile.

King Yu also nodded. At noon, Zhang Hao took King Yu to eat at the shipyard. Almost 100,000 people came here to eat, all of whom worked in nearby workshops. The work here is for food, and the food is very good. Zhang Hao can check it. Moreover, if anyone dares to deduct the food money from those workers, Zhang Hao will kill people.

"Your Highness, look, these are the unknown workers in the Ming Dynasty. There are 180,000 people here, all craftsmen. They have been working here for the Ming Dynasty warships for more than half a year. In the future, maybe they will work here all their lives, silently contributing their own strength to make my Ming Dynasty stronger." Zhang Hao looked at the workers and said.

King Yu nodded, remembering in his heart that the workers were dirty and their hands were not washed clean, and they were all pitch black. King Yu did not dare to dislike them. He also knew that these people were ensuring the strength of the Ming Dynasty.

"It's not easy for them. Can I do something for them?" King Yu sat there, looking at Zhang Hao and asked.

Gu Hao

"No, the wages we give are already very high. I just hope that you can treat the people of the Ming Dynasty well in the future. They actually have very simple requirements. They can have enough food, have fair treatment, and don't be bullied. But those officials can't do it. If they want to be corrupt, there is no fairness. Therefore, Your Highness needs to deal with those corrupt officials in the future. Don't let those corrupt officials depose our Ming Dynasty!" Zhang Hao sat there and said to King Yu.

"Well, Brother Man, don't worry, I will definitely deal with those corrupt officials!" King Yu nodded and said to Zhang Hao.

"Okay, that's good. Have a meal, have a rest after dinner, and take you to see the supporting workshops in the afternoon. Those workshops also do a lot of things for those warships!" Zhang Hao said to King Yu.

"Okay!" King Yu pointed at him. Now he admired Zhang Hao very much. He was able to build such a large warship and manage so many people.

The workers just saw Zhang Hao, but they all smiled at Zhang Hao and said, "Mr. Marquis, you are here." They all said with a smile. Zhang Hao was able to chat with them for a few words, which made the workers very happy.

However, King Yu ate a lot today. After leaving for a whole morning, King Yu was tired and hungry, so he ate a lot of food. After dinner, Zhang Hao also took King Yu to the supporting workshops to see.

Zhang Hao also asked King Yu to listen to the workers. Zhang Hao asked the workers to talk about the current situation, the situation at home, and the situation of their local officials. King Yu listened carefully, but on the side of the capital, Concubine Jing was also sitting in the living room of her palace, standing in front of him, looking like a fourth-rank official.

"Empress, the news is clear, and I'm indeed going!" The official said to Concubine Lu Jing.

"Go? Go with Zhang Hao?" Concubine Lu Jing continued to ask. The official nodded.

"The emperor is too partial. Why is it that he only cultivates King Yu? Why is our King Jing not good? Isn't he just a month younger than King Yu? Now that the prince is like this, why don't we give King Jing a chance?" Concubine Lu Jing said very annoyed at this moment, and the officials stood there, not daring to speak.

"If you go, you can find a way. Since he dares to go out, then don't come back!" Concubine Lu Jing looked at the official and said with a gloomy face.

"Empress, it may be difficult. At least it is difficult in Tangshan. Not to mention now, just before, many people wanted to inquire about what Tangshan was doing, but those people couldn't find out. Now, if we want to send people there, it may be even more difficult. Zhang Hao was originally the commander of the Jinyiwei. As soon as we move, they might know!" The official hurriedly bowed his hand to Concubine Lu Jing and said.

"It must be done even if it is difficult, otherwise, King Jing has any chance. Now King Yu is with Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao is not only the commander of the Jinyiwei, but also the marquis. His father is the Duke of England and his grandfather is also the Duke of the Kingdom. With Zhang Hao's support, who can shake his status?

Also, you also know that what Your Majesty trusts most now is Zhang Hao. You don’t know, what will happen outside when King Yu follows him out? If King Yu can successfully return to Beijing, his reputation will be even greater in the future. Will there be a chance for my son at that position at that time?" Concubine Lu Jing said to the official with great unhappiness!

"Yes, Empress, but now, we really have no choice. But we heard that King Yu might follow Zhang Hao to Shandong by then. If this is true, there will be a chance. Queen Yu also knows that King Lu has always been incompatible with His Majesty. If he knows that King Yu is going to Shandong, he will definitely find a way to get rid of it. King Jing's opportunity will come.

King Lu has been operating in Shandong for so many generations, but he will not surrender. This time I heard that King Lu contacted many vassal kings just to get rid of Zhang Hao. While getting rid of Zhang Hao, I believe they will also get rid of King Yu!" The official looked at Concubine Lu Jing and said,

Concubine Lu Jing looked at the official, and after a while, he spoke, "Cousin, I'll ask you to do this. Contact King Lu to see what their requirements are. No matter what their requirements are, you can mention them. When my King Jing takes office, it will naturally be fulfilled!"

"Yes, don't worry, I will do it!" the official immediately bowed his hand and said.

"If King Yu doesn't go, you have to find a way to let King Yu go with him. Humph, this time they will get rid of Zhang Hao, it will be beneficial for our King Jing. Let them let go!" Concubine Lu Jing continued to say to the official.

"Yes!" the official immediately bowed his hand.

"Go!" Concubine Lu Jing waved at him, and then the official went out.

At this moment, at the Danfang side, Yang Jinshui arrived at the Danfang side and said to Jiajing who was chanting scriptures: "Your Majesty, the young minister of Dali Temple, Lu Zhenhai, went to Lu Jing Concubine to pay homage!"

"Hmm?" Jiajing heard it and opened his eyes.

"They want King Yu to follow Lu Anhou to Shandong, and said that if King Lu wants to get rid of Zhang Hao, let him get rid of King Yu together. I guess Lu Zhenhai may contact King Lu!" Yang Jinshui continued to whisper to Jiajing,
