Chapter 351: Old Industrialist

The wheel of history is like a torrent, and no one can stop it.

The road to death of Hu Hancang's father and son has not changed.

One Goryeo and one Annam, from ancient times to the present, have always had unrealistic dreams, vainly trying to divide the river and rule the country, so that the Chinese people can become amphibians......

Dusk knows this.

Of course, he is actually very willing to see Annan jump like this, he doesn't jump like this, how can the Ming Dynasty become famous, how can Annan become the political secretary of Jiaozhi, and how can he use the political secretary of Jiaozhi as a springboard to swallow the entire Indochina Peninsula?

So Annan had to jump.

So Dusk chose to sacrifice morality and humanity to let Chen Tianping continue to walk on his established destiny.

In a way, after experiencing the martyrdom and many things, the heart of the Holy Mother in the ambivalence of the dusk became weaker and weaker, and now in retrospect, I feel that the incident of saving Jingqing was very ironic.

But save Uncle Huang Guan, even if you do it again, the dusk will not change.

If you don't save your uncle, you will be a sinner, and it will be difficult to climb to the top of your career.

If you don't save your uncle, you will be burdened with unfilial piety, and it will be difficult to convince the heart of a scholar.

If you don't save Huang Guan, the talent of the three elements will be wasted.

For example, if there is no uncle Huang Guan for this envoy to Annan, who will write a letter of state?

Xu Huizu will not.

Gao Xianning will not.

Myself...... Even the decree has not yet been fully understood.

Not to mention the national letter.

Annan is easy to solve, but the pattern of dusk is very far, he is actually thinking about the affairs of the Li Dynasty of Korea: in 1392, Li Chenggui founded the country, and Zhu Yuanzhang gave the name Joseon.

North Korea is now licking the Ming to the extreme.

After waiting for a few years for Queen Xu, she will send a concubine over, which is very favored by Zhu Di.

But it was only a vassal state after all.

The geographical location of Korea is extremely important, if you want to change the world pattern and let the royal flag of the Ming Navy Division fly in all continents, Korea and Japan cannot just be vassal countries.

So that's a conundrum.

Fight North Korea...... The division is unknown.

The current North Korea is too well-behaved and obedient.

Hit the Japanese ...... It seems that it is not easy to fight, the Yuan Dynasty has failed many times, Zhu Yuanzhang has also failed twice, can Zhu Di do it?

Dusk is sad.

Lao Tzu is really heartbroken for Daming.

Because the two hundred iron cavalry led by Zeng Qinglong was almost wiped out, the momentum of the mission on the return journey was much darker, only the officials of the Ministry of Rites, plus Xu Huizu, Dusk, Huang Guan, Gao Xianning, Yu Yanliang, and Xu Yin.

There are also twelve women such as Suaqiuna.

Among them, eleven people including Xu Huizu and Ursa were injured, and Xu Yin and Yu Yanliang were not injured because they were responsible for protecting Huang Guan and others, so they were not injured.

The mission walked very slowly.

When they arrived in Lanshan Township, the personnel of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War, who had stayed with Li Li to learn the process of making firearms, had already returned to the Li nationality and continued to go north after converging.

Li Li is also there.

He took a few servants with him and planned to go to Gyeonggi in the Ming Dynasty with the mission to meet the genius who made shower gel, soap and other cross-era products, opening up a new world for the Li people's commerce.

Dusk still hasn't broken this matter, and I'll talk about it when I get to Yingtian.

The journey is long and boring.

Dusk invited the director of the Ministry of Works to the carriage, motioned to Suo Qiuna to pour water on the side, sat cross-legged on both knees, drank hot tea each, and asked, "Li Like has helped you find the method of making firearms?" ”

The director of the Ministry of Works, named Hong Jilai, smiled, "I have learned, compared it, and benefited a lot, but the lower officials are a little puzzled, although Annan's firearms are higher than my Daming, but not all of them are higher, and some places are even inferior, I don't know why Commander Huang attaches so much importance to it?" ”

Dusk smiled: "The development of a thing, we can't always stare at our own acres and three points of land, we must know that the world is boundless, there are countless talents, our essence must be retained and carried forward, and the advantages of the outside world, we also have to absorb, regardless of the Annan firearms technology is weaker than our Ming, we only need to take its essence, and then combine with the advantages of the Ming Dynasty to achieve a complementary trend, so that firearms will obtain a step-by-step progress, and this is the environment of our current world, This is enough to make a huge difference. ”

In fact, there is something buried in the heart at dusk.

He didn't know much about the level of Daming firearms, or rather, he didn't know about the development process of firearms, but when he read the history of the Ming Dynasty, he remembered a sentence mentioned in the book: In 1408, Zhu Di conquered Annan and obtained the law of firearms to form the Shenji Battalion.

Therefore, Dusk took it for granted that Annan's method of firearms was completely superior to that of the Ming Dynasty.

Where do you know it's like this?

Hong Jilai's eyes flashed with brilliance, in fact, from the beginning, he and the envoys and officials of the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of War were not convinced by Dusk, and felt that he was just a favored minister who had reached this position by nepotism.

Hearing this deafening remark, I was very shocked.

Officials of the Ministry of Industry, the most sensible.

As the director of the ordnance superintendent, Hong Jilai is well aware of the great prospects of firearms, but unfortunately due to the level of craftsmanship, Daming's firearms are not enough to become the protagonist in the war.

However, this does not preclude the future status of firearms.

Therefore, hearing such any firearms at dusk, Hong Jilai felt that this big official was probably not as flowery as they thought, and his vision and pattern were different from ordinary people.

He said: "That's true, I already have an idea in my heart, and after I go back, I will study it together with all my colleagues in the Ordnance Prison, hoping to complement each other's advantages and improve firearms on the original basis." ”

Dusk smiled: "It's not hope, it's that we must complement each other's advantages, and then the ordnance supervisor of your Ministry of Industry will become the most important department in the six departments of the Ming Dynasty, and the equipment of our most ace army in the Ming Dynasty will be developed by the ordnance superintendent." ”

After a pause, "This is what Your Majesty meant." ”

Hong Jilai smiled bitterly, "Do your best." ”

Dusk glanced at the chief, "This is not like the words of an ordnance superintendent, what does it mean to do your best?" It is necessary to succeed at all costs, and of course, when I return to Gyeonggi, I will be personally involved in this matter. ”

The defects of the arquebus are still too large.

It is necessary to make flintlock in one step.

As for the modern thermal weapons with magazines, this difficulty is too high, and the industrial level of the Ming Dynasty is not enough to support it, so the flintlock's three-eyed gun is a better choice.

As for the artillery, it's still the rope hair, I don't know anything about that thing.

Thinking of this, I gave my thoughts to Hong Ji.

When Hong Jilai heard this, his eyes were straight, and he was extremely excited, as the head of the weapons superintendent, of course he understood the defects of firearms, if he built a firearm that could be fired in a burst according to the idea of dusk, it would play a terrifying effect in war.

The musket battalion in formation can almost crush the cavalry!

Hong Jilai was not calm, his mind was full of instantaneous three-eyed guns, and he kept talking and talking about Dusk, day and night, and put all the designs and ideas about the three-eyed guns in Dusk's heart.

Dusk is also happy, so he poured his heart into Hong Jilai, and finally said: "About the flint, you need flint, after returning to Gyeonggi, you use the right of the military superintendent to find the right flint throughout the country, and then according to our design and concept, you draw a few design drawings out, and then we will go to see Your Majesty together, if you can really do it, this flint three-eyed project has full authority to teach you, once successful, the Ministry of Works, Lang Lang, and even Shang Shu, are beckoning to you!" ”

Hong Jilai didn't care, he just sighed: "If you can make such an artifact in this life, what does it mean to be a mere scholar." ”

It's an old industrialist!
