It's just that before this guy can go far, Huang Qiong's cold voice came from behind him: "What this king just said, you still have to leave it to the deputy capital to do." After you finish explaining, you will immediately go to Xiguan to find this king. Remember, bring enough ** and shells. If you put the cart before the horse and don't know what you should do, this king thinks that there is really no need for you, a fellow knower, to go in the present. ”

Huang Qiong's words fell, but the same acquaintance lifted the hem of the official robe, and hurriedly ran back to Huang Qiong, knelt directly on his knees, and the expression on his face was about to cry: "If you go back to the king, you will not dare to have any delay in the matter you confess, but there is really no place for you to get this ** lowly position." ”

"Your Royal Highness, as far as you know, the ** used by these cannons is prepared according to the secret recipe of the King of Guilin back then. Compared with the general ** used in the army, it is a little more powerful. In the early years, I had seen it in the military department, and the artillery sent to the border army was special**, which was different from the powder** used in ordinary armies, and it was all granular. ”

"These ** are controlled in the hands of the imperial court, and the annual consumption and reserves are customized to a certain extent. Losses are reported annually in various places. After being specially made by the Ordnance Supervision of the Ministry of War, it will be uniformly sent to all localities by the Ministry of War. In the army armed with cannons, the number of reserves per year may not exceed the custom of the Privy Council. ”

"Every year, the Ministry of War, together with the Privy Council and the Front Division, sends special personnel to count the stocks of the garrisons in various places. If there is more than the amount specified by the imperial court, it will be destroyed. According to the laws of the imperial court, if the armies make it without authorization, it is tantamount to rebellion. But the Ministry of War has not sent this kind of ** to the Tiger Prison here for decades. At least after taking office, I have never seen it. ”

Although he has been a little slack off since taking office, and has devoted more energy to dealing with conflicts between the military and the people, he does not dare to slack off in these matters. The ordnance, money, and food issued by the military headquarters every year are all accounted for. It can be determined that from the reign of Rizong, the military department was not in the Tiger Prison and sent cannons to use. ”

"Not only that, but even ordinary ** is sent very little. As for the various artillery shells needed, the military headquarters also stopped sending them since the time of Ritsune. The existing cannonballs in Guanzhong are all before the Li Zong Dynasty. I don't know if I can use it. With that, this guy opened the few accounts that had been clipped under his armpit, turned to the ordnance page, and presented them to Huang Qiong.

Although he is a little deaf, he also knows that these weapons are at stake in his net worth and life. So, he still pays attention to this. The Ministry of War has not sent this kind of to the garrison of Tiger Prison Pass for decades, and he is also clear about the extremely expensive ** that is extremely expensive. Although he was frightened and stumbled in his words, he thought that some things should be explained clearly first.

Otherwise, if the king of England has nowhere to find it because of ** and cannonballs, he thinks that it is his own thing. Judging from the current power of the British king, letting himself go home and eat himself is also a matter of his hands. You must know that Northern Liao has been trying to find ways to secretly acquire Daqi's **. even opened a catty **, a tael of gold sky-high price.

Speaking of this, this guy looked at the King of England with a gloomy face after listening to his words, and cautiously continued: "But although there is no new **, there are still some ** left from before in the pass." It's just that these ** have been hoarded for decades. Since coming to the Tiger Prison, I have never opened the seal, and I don't know if it can be used. ”

"In addition, there are some ordinary ** in the Guannai, all of which have been sent by the Ministry of War in the past two years. I thought that since they are all **, they should be able to use these cannons. Lord, can you let a few old men use it? Even if it is less powerful, it is better to think that something is better than nothing. ”

"Bastard, stupid, deserve to be killed." Hearing this Tongzhi's explanation, Rao is Huang Qiong couldn't help but scold no matter how strong her endurance was. It's just that his angry scolding, whether it is the bastards of the military department who scolded, or the colleague in front of him, I'm afraid no one knows except himself.

"The crime of despicability deserves death, please forgive the king." Huang Qiong's words, I don't know who is scolding. But he said that he should be killed, but he scared the acquaintance who had repeatedly made mistakes from the beginning to death. Thinking that the king of England's sentence should be killed was aimed at himself, he hurriedly kowtowed like pounding garlic. This head knock is very sincere, listening to the sound, even Zhao Wuxian on the side hurts for him.

The kowtow of this Tongzhi, who would have misunderstood, stunned Huang Qiong. After thinking about it for a while, it turned out that this guy thought he was going to be angry with him. Seeing this guy's appearance, Huang Qiong wanted to reprimand him. But in the end, I held back. just said in a flat tone: "You better get up and talk." ”

After this guy stood up, Huang Qiong glanced at him before saying, "This king is not in the habit of being angry with others. Since there is no new **, then send the inventory and the ordinary ** to Xiguan together. In addition, 200 more clever sergeants were selected and handed over to a few old men to command. ”

"Thank you for your magnanimity, and the little one will start to handle it immediately." Hearing Huang Qiong's instructions, this guy was also very interesting. He also knew that he could redeem some of the image in the heart of the British king, who is now in charge of the power of life and death in the Tiger Prison, this is the last chance. I didn't dare to delay anything, and I even went down with Zhao Wuxian.

Seeing this guy's hasty back, Huang Qiong shook her head with some tears and laughter. He is just a temporary prince, is it necessary to make him so afraid? Fortunately, he is also a child of a family, why is his psychological quality so poor? However, although this guy is always suffering from gains and losses, and he can't figure out the priorities of things, he can implement them in specific matters.

Thinking of this, Huang Qiong turned his head to Fan Jiandao, who had been following him all the time, but did not speak: "After the Zhengzhou matter is finished, you remind this king." Our British King's Mansion, isn't there still a Sima? This king made a break and transferred this guy to the British King's Mansion as Sima. Sima of the Prince's Mansion is from the fourth grade, and his fellow acquaintance is also from the fourth grade, which can be regarded as a flat tone. ”

Regarding Huang Qiong's idea, Fan Jian pursed his lips and said: "Lord Wang, didn't you promise him before, when the Zhengzhou counterinsurgency is over, let him be the governor of the state?" Why did you suddenly change your mind now? In fact, this guy is a little confused on the surface, and he can't tell the priorities of things, but in fact, he can still put his mind on it. It's just that there's something wrong with the sycophants. ”

In fact, it can't be said that he did something wrong, if someone else came to this tiger prison, his approach would be the norm in officialdom. You must bow down in person in order to leave a good impression on the errand. Otherwise, in the current extraordinary period, a fold from the top to the top, and an incompetent one is enough to beat him back to his original shape. It's just that he didn't expect that the prince wouldn't talk about those vain things. ”

Thinking of this guy's various performances, Fan Jian always had the urge to laugh. But it's a joke, but Fan Jian knows that this is the norm in officialdom. For the officials below, sometimes after these errands go back, a sentence on the fold can decide whether the hat on the head can be worn or not.

If it's this errand today, it's someone else. He is a son of a family, and these families in the DPRK and China, through marriage and other means, advance and retreat together in the DPRK and China, and they all have a certain influence. Ordinary poor people generally don't find fault with them. After all, the family background behind them is not something that ordinary officials can offend.

But today, this errand can not only decide the life and death of everyone in the Tiger Prison, but also a dignified prince, how can he not let him tremble. Sometimes the more nervous people are, the more likely they are to make mistakes. And Huang Qiong is the kind of person who is extremely pragmatic, and it is not surprising that the guy slapped the horse's hooves.

"Zhizhou, he can't do it. It's not that this guy doesn't live in his mind, but his mind is too alive. If he were to be in charge of a state's affairs, he would have to make a mess. This guy is too superior, if he is allowed to be a parent official in a place and meets a greedy boss, the people of a state must not be made miserable by him? ”

"But this guy still has a certain number in his heart. People like him must use it. But how to use it, you still need to weigh it carefully. With the right position, this guy can also play a role. It's not right, I'm afraid this guy will have to make a mess. ”

"This kind of person, for the time being, it is better to put it by your side and feel more at ease. Anyway, after the Zhengzhou incident is over, this king has time, and he can take care of him. When will ** come out, when will he correct his mentality as an official, and it will not be too late to release it outside. As for now, forget it. Referring to this guy's various performances, Huang Qiong couldn't help but shake her head.

After answering Fan Jian, Huang Qiong didn't speak, took a few veterans who were found, and didn't go down to Guancheng. Instead, he followed the city wall and came directly to the place where the cannon was placed in Xiguan. Seeing these cannons placed on the head of Xiguan City, several old soldiers hurriedly stepped forward and carefully inspected them before turning around and saying, "Lord Wang, although these cannons are poorly maintained, they may not be unusable. ”

"These cannons, although they were all cast in the early years of the founding of the country. But when it was first cast, it was very strong. Although it has been blowing in the wind and rain for more than 100 years, you can see that there is not much patina on this gun. However, it is better to be careful when putting it away. The amount of reloading ** is gradually increasing. Because some small cracks in the cannon body are not visible to the naked eye. ”

"Sure enough, as soon as the expert made a move, he knew that he didn't. At this glance, several old men are experts and know these cannons very well. I don't know, how many old men used to serve in the army here to eat food? Looking at the neat skills of several old soldiers, Huang Qiong suddenly thought of that Jiang Xin, who arrested all the people outside the pass, and I am afraid that he also had this idea.

I also want to find gunners from the area around this tiger prison and among the retired veterans. Otherwise, what did he do with so many people, and what did he do with these thousands of pounds of cannons? This guy should know that among the retired veterans in the nearby army, there are people who have served as gunners in the border army.

"A few people from Xiao Lao'er have been eating food in the border army. Later, when I got older, I really couldn't do it anymore. took the money from the severance and returned to settle in his hometown in this tiger prison. We learned to operate artillery in the firearms battalion on the border of Yanshan Mansion, and we have always been this gunner. Because there is no artillery in the inland garrison, we have always served in the army in Yanshan Mansion and have not been rotated to the mainland to garrison. ”

"To say something that the prince doesn't want to hear, fiddling with these cannons for decades is as smooth as a father fiddling with his own son. However, the cannons we have in the Yanshan Mansion Firearms Battalion are much better maintained than those in the Tiger Prison. There's a lot of dirt in the barrel and a bird's nest like here? ”
