"Is it only a thousand"? Rong Tianyuan whispered and underestimated twice.

A thousand people is a thousand households, there are not many people in the hands, and the official position is not very large.

However, Xia Ziang is right, this is just the beginning, the official position is too big, it is inevitable that it will not be true, and he will be impeached in the court.

"Well, a thousand is a thousand." Rong Tianyuan didn't care about these either, and said, "Although there are a little fewer people, the first time is really enough." ”

"Huh. It would be nice if you could think of it that way. Seeing that Rong Tianyuan had no opinion, Xia Ying said with a smile:

"And every time the Dongying people travel, there are dozens of people, or hundreds of people, and they never go to the thousands, for example, this time they slaughtered the village, there were only more than 300 people. They just saw that no one was their opponent, and they were so arrogant that we couldn't do anything about them. ”

"So in your first battle, I believe that the Dongying people will not exceed five hundred, so as long as you train these thousand people well, you will naturally be able to deal with them easily."

Hearing Xia Ying's words, Rong Tianyuan nodded, agreeing with what he said, he also knew this, if he remembered correctly, his world, in the Ming Dynasty of this matter, was chased and killed by dozens of Dongying people along the way, and it felt embarrassing to think about it.

But those people are really strong, you can't get close to him, the arrows you shoot can be grabbed with your bare hands, and you are shooting those Ming soldiers, this alone can frighten people to timidity, so you still have the heart to kill those Dongying people.

"In addition to these, if you have any requirements, put them together, and I will order them to go down and let people prepare them for you." Seeing that Rong Tianyuan agreed, Xia Ying's heart was also relaxed, and her mood was good, and she was not affected by the previous events at all.

"What else do you want, that's a lot." Hearing Xia Ying's words, Rong Tianyuan smiled and asked, "I don't know if you have firearms?" ”

When Xia Ying saw Rong Tianyuan's smile, she always felt that the latter seemed to have some idea, but when she heard if she had any firearms, she said with a smile: "Of course there are firearms, I don't know what you asked." ”

"Are there any firearms?" Hearing that there were firearms, Rong Tianyuan immediately became interested, and said with a smile: "Then I don't know if there are fire guns and bird guns?" Is there a Hongyi cannon? Is there a Franc machine? Are there any rockets? ”

After Rong Tianyuan asked this, he looked at Xia Ying like a profiteer.

When Xia Ying heard what Rong Tianyuan asked, she suddenly felt that it was not a good thing in her heart, but she said it a little, but she still nodded and said: "There are fire guns and bird guns you said, as well as Franc machines, but the number is limited, and they are all equipped to those people at the border gate, if you want these equipment, so I think you should not pay attention to this." ”

"But what kind of firearms are you talking about rockets and cannons? How come I haven't heard of it? Xia Ying first killed Rong Tianyuan's idea of fighting these, and then asked if he didn't know the other two.

Rong Tianyuan saw that he still had to say it, and this Xia Ying actually vetoed his next request, which made him a little unsure of how to start, but when he heard this ask what the red-clothed cannon and the rocket were, he was suddenly surprised in his heart.

Is it difficult that this red-coated cannon hasn't come in yet? But after thinking about it a little, you will know that now the corresponding time is 1555, and this red-coated cannon has only appeared for a short time, and it is only equipped with those small countries in Europe, and it has not yet been rushed into this side, and only when those European ships carrying red-coated cannons enter the area of this Yi Dynasty can they officially enter the sight of this Yi Dynasty, as for the rocket, let alone it.

Thinking about all this, Rong Tianyuan had no choice but to reply lightly: "Hehe, this red-clothed cannon is a cannon with a longer range and higher damage than the Franc machine, and the same is true for that rocket." ”

"Oh, with a longer range? Tell me how this thing is made. If we can just come out, when the Mongols invade, we will be able to better fight them with this kind of thing. Hearing Rong Tianyuan talk about this red-clothed cannon, Xia Ying suddenly became interested.

"I still have this method for the time being, but I think those red hairs who came from across the ocean are also equipped at this time, so they definitely know how this thing is made, Uncle Xia wants to know, go grab a few and ask, don't you know."

For this Xia Ying to be so eager to know, Rong Tianyuan didn't plan to tell him now at this time, the main task now was to negotiate the conditions he needed.

Hearing Rong Tianyuan's words, Xia Ying's face suddenly darkened, and there was an urge to slap Rong Tianyuan twice, damn, I asked you, why did you get involved with those red-haired people, if I knew about this, I could arrest those people, I would have been arrested a long time ago, and now I would still talk to you here. “”

Rong Tianyuan saw Xia Ying's expression, and when he didn't see it, he continued: "Okay, let's get down to business, these two weapons, firearms and artillery, are necessary, if I remember correctly, this Dongying people are also equipped with these weapons, if we don't equip these things, we will suffer a lot at that time." ”

"If the imperial court can't allocate it, then let the imperial court allow us to build it ourselves, just say that in order to deal with the needs of Dongying, I think the one in that position can understand which is more important, if you don't agree, then this matter of killing Dongying people, or ask another master, I can't do it."

Rong Tianyuan said this very hard, almost categorically, there was no room for negotiation, just like he said, if he didn't agree, he would just pick and choose, whoever likes to do it.

But no, people continue to use firearms, but you are holding cold weapons, is this a war? That can only be called to die, no matter how much Rong Tianyuan has the feelings of the National Day, no matter how much he hates the Dongying people, it is impossible to fight like this.

Xia Ying saw that Rong Tianyuan had no room for negotiation, and her brows were deeply furrowed, thinking that it was quite difficult to come to this matter. Because the manufacture of firearms is arranged in a specific place, that is, the capital, but now it is necessary to build firearms in the south of the Yangtze River, and the difficulty can be imagined.

After half a pillar of incense, Xia Ying gritted her teeth and tried it ruthlessly, no matter how difficult it was, she had to apply for consent, after all, this was a matter related to Jiangshan Sheji.

Xia Ying gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll explain this matter to the emperor, I think as you said, that person will agree."

"Mm-hmm, that's pretty much it."

Seeing that Xia Ying agreed, Rong Tianyuan was a little satisfied, but it was not too much, after all, Xia Ying was in a very bad mood at this time, in case he was angry, if he was angry, if he gave him a look, there would be no place for him to shout grievances.

Slightly restrain his satisfaction,. Said seriously: "And if the trouble of the Dongying people is solved, this firearm can also be transferred to the north to deal with those Mongols, so that it is completely the best of both worlds, why not." ”

Hearing Rong Tianyuan's analysis, Xia Ying also felt that this was very reasonable, after all, this was an opportunity to increase her strength, how could she let it go, and she couldn't help but nod with satisfaction in her heart.

However, before Xia Ying was satisfied for a second, Rong Tianyuan's words made him have a little urge to vomit blood, if Xia Wanyi and Xia Ziang were there, they might also go up and beat people.

"In addition to firearms, we also have some weapons." Rong Tianyuan said: "After all, the manufacture of this firearm is time-consuming and laborious, and it takes a long time, if you wait for all the equipment, you don't know how long it will be, so you need a batch of weapons that are specially designed to deal with the long knives of the Dongying people, but I am still thinking about this weapon, and I will give you the drawings when I think about it." ”

Rong Tianyuan knows very well that this era, unlike his era, all the crafts here are manual and manual, not professional mechanization, like that firearms, a few or a dozen pieces a day can be produced, it is also very good, if you want to equip him with a thousand people, I am afraid that it will be difficult to do it in a year.

After a year, I don't know what the entire Zhejiang and Yi Dynasty's coasts have been ravaged by the Dongying people, and I don't know how much money and property will be plundered, and I don't know how many people will die.

"Damn, do you think I'm a free laborer and a rich man? Is there a robbery like you? Do you know what you need and how much money you need? Xia Ying finally couldn't help it, and exploded directly, and he was a burst of applause at Rong Tianyuan.

At this time, Xia Ying didn't pay any attention to her image, she was completely saliva, her expression was hideous, and she didn't care that Xia Wanyi and Xia Ziang were still here, but this roared out, and Xia Ying suddenly felt much more comfortable in her heart.

And Xia Wanyi and Xia Ziang, sisters and brothers, were only slightly surprised when they saw their father like this, and then returned to normal, as if this was normal.

It's not that Xia Ying is doing this to them, but to those below who do things miscellaneously, or if they can't do it out of time, sometimes Xia Wanyi, Xia Yuxuan and Xia Ziang just see it.

However, Rong Tianyuan didn't see it, and said flatly: "How much does this cost, is it Uncle Xia?" It shouldn't be, but the court came out, since it was the court out, what was Uncle Xia afraid of. ”

"And even if the court doesn't come out, Uncle Xia won't come out much, this dignified governor of Zhejiang is the most right place to oil and water, and he can still come up with tens of thousands of taels casually. In addition to this, you can also solicit those businessmen, who are also willing to give this money for his business, so why is Uncle Xia so excited. ”

Rong Tianyuan's words couldn't help but make Xia Ying blush, a little embarrassed.
