Chapter 384 Two Requirements
The impeachment did not succeed, but it gave the family more positions and more military power. Although there were only 10,000 men and were mainly used for training and garrisoning, who said that the garrison was limited to the door? I think you are a threat and there is evidence, and I will send someone to your house to kill you, which can also be said to be a guard.
Looking at Tang Jin, who was proud of the spring breeze at this time, Tang Hao couldn't wait to go up and cut this guy with a knife right now. In order to deal with Tang Jin, Tang Hao not only gave up his face to ask for the help of his mother, but also promised a lot of benefits to the eldest grandson's family as a backup hand to deal with Tang Jin.
Yes, Tang Hao never thought that he could directly abolish Tang Jin's position by relying on an impeachment, he only proposed it today just to throw out an introduction first, and then rely on the power of the eldest grandson's family to incite the people step by step, unite hundreds of officials, and finally force the emperor to sanction Tang Jin.
Fortunately, now I just threw a three-sided pair and there was a king bomb, followed by a wave of straight flushes, and I directly gave myself a spring.
Now don't talk about the eldest grandson's family, even if the civil and military officials plus the entire harem unite to resist Tang Jin, it is estimated that Tang Yu will also resist the pressure to protect him, if nothing else, just because of this arquebus, just because of this thing that is enough to change the situation of the war.
To be honest, Tang Hao doesn't care about military affairs, and he doesn't even read much military books, but he still knows some simple common sense. What are the factors restricting the development of military strength?
First and foremost, there is the issue of the number of warriors. In the Tang Army, non-martial artists are not allowed to enlist, after all, in the case of martial artists on the other side, the attack power of an ordinary person may not be as great as a fly. Secondly, there is the issue of weapons. The strength of the warrior is strong, and the quality and weight requirements of the weapons used are naturally high, which leads to the difficulty and consumption of weapons to be made is an absolute majority.
But now, with arquebuses, all that will change. It can be used by ordinary people, and it is so powerful that ordinary masters don't even want to dodge it, and even if a dozen people gather fire, it is not a problem to kill a first-class master. In terms of manufacturing, as long as the technology is mastered and the appropriate tools are made, two skilled workers can build one in a few days, and the materials are much less than other weapons, such a weapon is simply perfect!
Therefore, even with Tang Hao's only military common sense, he understands the importance of this arquebus, not to mention the emperor and the generals who have dealt with the battlefield for most of their lives
Didn't you see that they were about to become brothers with Tang Jin one by one? If it weren't for the wrong occasion and wrong identity, they would all be eager to pull Tang Jin to worship.
In this case, if you want to deal with Tang Jin, the emperor is willing to say it first, just face off with a group of generals who control more than half of the Tang Dynasty's military power...... Hehe, you don't have to be so unscrupulous to find death, right?
"Master Tang, you are really young and promising, a talent! How can you make such a powerful weapon! ”
"Yes, yes, Master Tang is really a genius!"
"In the future, on my Tang Dynasty Soldier Book, Master Tang will definitely leave a strong mark!"
A group of five big and three thick generals gathered around Tang Jin, looking for words of praise from their few words as much as possible, and whether it was right or not, they all slapped Tang Jin anyway.
"Ahem......"
Tang Yu coughed lightly in embarrassment. I know that you all want to pull the relationship and equip your army with this new weapon as soon as possible, but can you wait until after the next dynasty? I'm still here! I've never heard you praise me so much before, usually one by one is like a mallet, which pestle will go to the upper court, and the next court will follow, but now it's good, all the mouths are about to catch up with those civil officials.
"Tang Aiqing, with the configuration I just said, how long will it take you to build a thousand arquebuses?"
Jokes are jokes, the business still has to be asked, giving Tang Jin so many people, isn't it just for him to make things as soon as possible? As for the issue of installation...... Ask when it will be built, otherwise it will be useless no matter how good it is.
"The minister has two requests, if the emperor agrees, even if the manpower of Fang Cai is halved, the minister can make 5,000 guns in half a year, but if he does not agree...... You can make about a thousand in a year or so. Tang Jin hesitated.
"So much worse? Tell me about those two requirements. "Although the gap is a bit big, Tang Yu didn't agree without thinking, in case Tang Jin comes to me and I want the throne, then I will also agree?
"First, the minister hopes that the emperor will allow the Ordnance Department to be characterized as a chamber of commerce rather than a court department, and the emperor will take a stake in the name of the royal family, and allow the Ordnance Department to recruit laborers on its own and set its own work system and salary standards."
Tang Yu was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he immediately understood what Tang Jin meant. army
The stakes are very high, and the arquebus will definitely become a necessity for the various legions in the future, and because this is the only one that can produce, the benefits of it will definitely attract countless people to watch. Just like Tang Jin said before, when the benefits reach thirty percent, businessmen dare to trample on all the laws in the world. If the Ordnance Department belongs to the imperial court organization, then I am afraid that Tang Jin, the head of the Division, will have to be impeached once a day, a big impeachment once every two days, and there are countless frame-ups and so on.
But if it is transferred to the Chamber of Commerce and Tang Yu is invested in the name of the royal family, this nature is different, not to mention that the Ordnance Department that has been transferred to the Chamber of Commerce can no longer use the imperial court to sanction it, and no one dares to think crookedly just by hanging the royal name. After all, robbing business with the emperor...... Tired of being crooked?
"I promise this request, but what about the other?"
"The minister needs to buy a tool from a tribe in the north, and with this he can greatly speed up the production of arquebuses."
The tribe is naturally the Khan Meng tribe, and as for the machinery, what else can there be besides the steam engine? Although the internal combustion engine is a better option, the internal combustion engine on the Khan Meng side has only just developed, and it is still very early to make a mature machine, and gasoline is extremely difficult to prepare, even with the current development level of Khan Meng, it can only supply a small number of internal combustion engines, and it is not even necessary to think about exporting anything, so you can only use the steam engine first.
"Oh? Where to buy tools from the barbarians? Tang Yu frowned slightly, but then he was relieved. For barbarians, Datang has always despised them from all aspects, but there is only one aspect that Datang really can't compare to, that is, metal smelting and forging, which is after all the craftsmanship of other people's eating. If you want to say that you are purchasing other Tang Yu from the north, you may still be puzzled, you said that you purchased weapons and tools...... That's not a problem at all.
"Yes, I will agree to both of these requests, but the Wang family has fallen, and my Datang's trade in the north has been greatly affected, and it may take time to purchase tools."
"Your Majesty can rest assured at this point, the minister and the shopkeeper of the Tianlu Chamber of Commerce are friends, and the Tianlu Chamber of Commerce under his command is itself engaged in the trade between the Tang Dynasty and the northern border, and the tools that the minister needs can help them purchase on their behalf."
Taking advantage of the opportunity to purchase steam engines, the Tianlu Chamber of Commerce was pushed out, paving the way for it to become a foreign trader who replaced the Wang family, killing two birds with one stone, which is really exquisite.
