Chapter 429: Tang's Arms Plan
Despite his reluctance, Tang Yu agreed to the ministers' requests. In fact, he doesn't agree and can't, and he can't even come to someone who insists on getting out of the way like before.
Because the fault was in Baiguan last time, he is the party that takes advantage, and there is no problem if he does not compromise. But not this time, the fault lies with the royal family, the ministers are safeguarding the interests of the Tang Dynasty, they are right, Tang Yu is an indiscriminate calf protector. If he still insists on not compromising, it will definitely be revered.
"Okay, you Tang Jin...... I'll settle this account with you in the future. ”
I thought so in my heart, but reason told Tang Yu that Tang Jin was right in doing this. Whether it is from the perspective of Tang Hao's competitors or from the responsibility of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, he is not wrong.
But people are emotional animals after all, Tang Jin is loyal to his duties, but he hurt his son, this is wrong! Miss by a mile!
Tang Jin, who was thousands of miles away, didn't know about this, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
Tang Yu hated himself and let him hate it, after this incident, Tang Jin was confident that he could get the special attention of Dingtian Pavilion, and when Tang Yu wanted to move himself, he would have to find a valid reason, if it was far-fetched, Dingtian Pavilion would not be able to spare him. But want to find a justification for yourself? Hehe, come on.
At this time, Tang Jin didn't know that the capital was in turmoil because of himself, and he now devoted all his energy to the research of tobacco.
The tobacco that had been sent to one of Tang Yun's uncles had a good effect, especially in terms of recreation, so that the soldiers who had been training for many years and were highly tired physically and mentally found a new and quick way to rest. Nowadays, in the entire military camp, a cigarette has almost become the norm after training, and even a special time for soldiers to smoke is even set up. While greatly reducing the army's expenditures, it has also improved the training effect of the army, and almost made the "uncle" happy.
"What are you studying?"
The form of cigarettes is very good, and the other party has written many times to express that he wants to buy cigarettes in large quantities. Tang Yungang wanted to discuss with Tang Jin, but found that the goods were in a room full of various bottles and cans, and they were recording something in front of a few tobaccos.
"Do experiments." Tang Jin replied to him without the slightest intention of explaining. What if it is explained? Do you understand this?
"Uh...... You ...... Experiments, is it important? Although he didn't understand what the experiment meant, seeing that Tang Jin deliberately changed into a white coat and wore a mask, Tang Yun felt an inexplicably dignified atmosphere.
"It's important in terms of results, but it's not important at this stage."
The purpose of my own experiment was to improve the tobacco plant and increase its quality in order to make better cigarettes. However, this stage is only the initial stage of sample cultivation and recording, and it will stop if you want, and it will not have any impact.
"Tell me, what are you looking for me?"
Taking off his mask, taking off the white coat on his body, and pulling Tang Yun out of his laboratory with him, Tang Jin asked in a deep voice. He doesn't like others to enter his laboratory, especially a guy who doesn't know anything, and it's not a big problem that he is studying agriculture now, if he is studying a virus, poison gas or something, Tang Yun can't help but itch his hands to move this, play with that, and the two of them may have to explain here.
Tang Yun also saw Tang Jin's displeasure, scratched his head and said with some embarrassment, "It's still my uncle's side, he has urged him several times, saying that he wants to purchase tobacco in large quantities......"
Tang Jin frowned before he finished speaking, "Didn't you tell him that the tobacco planting area is small, new tobacco is being planted, and there is no way to expand the supply for the time being?" What did he think was growing tobacco? Plant it today and grow it tomorrow? Fuck off again! ”
The current Tang Jin has the strength to say this. With the pilot of the first batch of tobacco, its powerful effect spread throughout the Tang army at a speed like the wind. Nowadays, in addition to the major legions in the Western Regions, even the legions in the Eastern Regions, the Southern Regions, the Northern Regions, and even the Central Regions have sent letters to rush to buy, and the prices are still higher than one another.
It can be said that Tang Jin now looks down on the small military town in charge of the "uncle", if it weren't for the fact that the other party is the first supporter, he would have sold his house a long time ago.
"Okay...... Then I'll go talk to my uncle. ”
Knowing that Tang Jin was in a bad mood and that he was inexplicably at a loss now, Tang Yun didn't stay long, so he hurriedly left.
Tang Jin didn't bother to pay attention to him, and after thinking about it, he didn't go back to record the data, but walked directly to the study. Hearing that there were several letters from the capital and the Eastern Regions today, Tang Jin planned to see if there were any important matters to deal with first.
There are several letters in the study, and the first one is a letter from the Dongxian Palace. Of course, rather than saying that this is a letter, Tang Jin thinks that this thing is a courier, after all...... Have you ever seen a letter in a chest the size of a whole wardrobe?
Quite speechless, he opened the box in front of him that was worthy of a wardrobe, and inside was a neatly stacked small box, with a thick pile of letter paper on top.
Tang Jin didn't even look at what was in those boxes, so he directly took out the letter paper. Then I took out the top six sheets, and all that was written on them was some nonsense about that guy Tang Duo, what is my son handsome now? Is the martial arts refined again, and then pick up how he was back then. Tang Jin selectively skimmed over these contents.
Then, the content and font on the envelope changed, from nonsense to Datang's military affairs, and obviously the writer of this part was replaced by Pei Ming.
"Come in and receive 500 38 rifles and 300 mortars from the Khan and Meng tribes
There are 200 cannons, a number of bullets and shells of various types, and the godfather has conducted preliminary training for the soldiers in accordance with the manual you sent back, and has recently conducted live-fire training, and the results are excellent, and the power of firearms is really amazing. Your father and I plan to set up a fifth firearms corps in addition to the original four legions, and specialize in using firearms to assist other legions, I wonder what Jin'er's opinion is? ”
"Tsk, Godfather's idea is good, but unfortunately he still hasn't been able to jump out of the grip of traditional thinking."
Pei Ming wanted to add another firearms corps, which means that he recognizes the power of firearms, but he does not regard firearms as the main combat method, but as an auxiliary, obviously because of the influence of the previous war thinking, he still pursues the competition of real swords and guns, and firearms will only be used when necessary to turn the tide of the battle or lock in the victory. I have to say that this is very different from Tang Jin's conception.
"It's also true that guns and ammunition are produced in limited quantities these days. Although firearms are powerful, they are also very expensive after a big battle, and it is really not good to be the main force. ”
After thinking about it for a while, Tang Jin had a bold idea. The production of guns and ammunition is all in the Khan and Meng tribes, although Khan and Meng are large, but after all, the manpower is limited, and it is okay now, but it is obviously not enough to meet Tang Jin's needs for large-scale manufacturing of firearms in the future. So why not...... What about expanding production?
Thinking of it, Tang Jin immediately picked up the pen and wrote, "I think that firearms are the most important weapons of the country, and they should be taken seriously, and it is best to be equipped with the whole army, and abandon swords, guns, swords, and halberds to use firearms, but it is extremely difficult to realize this idea due to production restrictions." I thought that my Eastern Regions should unite with Khan Meng to help him integrate other barbarian tribes and expand production. ”
Yes, this is Tang Jin's plan, to use the forces of the Eastern Regions to help Khan Meng integrate other tribes, and then vigorously develop the military industry.
Although once this kind of thing is known by the imperial court, it will be 100% accused of rebellion, but who calls Datang's intelligence network in his own hands? is still the same sentence, what Tang Yu knows is what Tang Jin wants him to know, and what he doesn't want him to know, even if he goes to check it in person, he can't find any clues.
Some people may say that Tang Jin is a loyal minister, how can he be worthy of the words loyalty and patriotism?
Tang someone said...... When am I going to be a loyal servant? Also, talk to a terrorist about loyalty and patriotism? Hehe, there's something sick in the brain, right?
Then, the content of the letter did not involve too much political affairs, but more of the parents were short, and the last five pages directly became gift lists, that is, the contents of those small boxes.
Not to mention, things are quite rich, except for the fact that money or gold, silver and jewelry cannot be given because of the rules and restrictions of ten thousand sons, there is everything, all kinds of supplements and pills alone account for half, and there is even a 38 rifle, saying that it is for Tang Jin's self-defense. Although he couldn't use it, Tang Jin still felt warm in his heart.
