Regarding Li Zong's statement, both Zhu Youxiao and Sun Chengzong were very satisfied. The two had no intention of continuing to talk, so they took Li Zong to dinner together, and sent Li Zong away after eating.

It doesn't matter what Li Zong thinks.

After Li Zong left, Sun Chengzong and Zhu Youxiao drank tea and chatted together.

Regarding this matter, it is necessary to communicate, and Sun Chengzong feels that he should talk to His Majesty.

"Your Majesty, isn't it inappropriate to sell them weapons?" Sun Chengzong asked with some hesitation.

Sun Chengzong's hesitation was not about selling weapons, but about taking into account Zhu Youxiao's attitude.

The emperor of his own family thinks about a lot of things, and he is very decisive in doing things, and it is not so easy to persuade under normal circumstances. So this made Sun Chengzong's attitude a little cautious, for fear of angering His Majesty and making His Majesty rebellious.

Glancing at Sun Chengzong, Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "What do you think I'm going to sell them?" ”

"There are so many weapons in the treasury of the capital now, and if they don't let them out, they will all be put there and scrapped. It's good to sell some to them, at least to make some money back. ”

Hearing that it was a weapon in the warehouse in the capital, Sun Chengzong breathed a sigh of relief.

He is the chief of staff of the General Staff, and of course he knows what kind of weapons are in the warehouses in the capital, and they are basically eliminated.

In addition to flintlock guns, there are also some arquebuses, and there are many cannons, but not those steel cannons in the later period, many of them are early bronze cannons and tiger squat cannons.

There are many things that came from the Jiajing Dynasty. Not to mention those things, it costs a lot of money to repair them every year.

The military department has already said that there is no need for these things to exist, and they are ready to go back to the furnace and rebuild them. The recovered iron tools are used to forge kitchen utensils, or to forge farm tools.

As for the bronze that has been recovered, you can make some ornaments, or see if you can make copper plates. If you could, it would be great.

And depending on the meaning of His Majesty, he intends to sell these things to the Koreans.

"Can they agree to that?" Sun Chengzong really hesitated this time.

He said in a somewhat uncertain tone: "These things are different from what they see, if they don't want them, then what?" ”

"Why wouldn't they?" Zhu Youxiao said as a matter of course: "These things are much worse than what we use, but they are much better than their own, and even much better than those in the Japanese country, why don't they buy them?" ”

"It's better to buy than not to buy. Want our most advanced? We don't have enough of it ourselves. ”

Sun Chengzong nodded.

However, he made another mistake in protecting his shortcomings, and said with some hesitation: "Give these things to them, can they study them on their own?" Or even be able to develop on its own? If we let them figure it out, we'll be in big trouble. ”

"It's better to give these things to the border army, or to the local garrison. There are still many people who don't need such equipment, and our Daming is also in short supply now. It's not the best, it's a little behind, but it's better than what you use now, right? ”

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Sun Chengzong and sighed: "It would be great if our things could be imitated so well." ”

Zhu Youxiao's words are really motivated.

How many years has it taken and how much money has been invested in Daming, so that we have the current harvest?

If others want to imitate Daming's research and development, it is simply impossible, and the industrial foundation is here. If you want to imitate, you must also have that capital.

Not to mention this time, World War II will not work. If the Qing Dynasty wants to produce rifles, and Jiang Guangtou wants to produce rifles, then all of them must be introduced into the production line.

Want to make your own?

It's a dream! Steelmaking is unqualified, and all kinds of processes are also unqualified, what to do?

The arquebus and flintlock pistol are both front-loading muskets, which are different from the rear-loading guns that you use now.

How much effort does it take to have just one metal fixed ammunition? How can it be so easy to get it?

At this point, Zhu Youxiao is very confident. By the time North Korea comes out, Daming will have already been updated.

Zhu Youxiao said: "For our people, I haven't thought about it." But you have to understand that these things that the royal army is using now, if they are not given to the local army, I am afraid that they will be dissatisfied. When the time comes, the border army and the pro-army will be opposed, and this will not be good. ”

The things that Zhu Youxiao considered were actually just simple considerations, and they were not the reason at all. If you want to use this to convince Sun Chengzong, there is no hope at all.

Because of the generation gap between the equipment of the central army and the local army, this kind of thing is not done once, and it is not only done by the Ming Dynasty, but also by all dynasties.

The most desperate thing is the forbidden army and the box army in the Song Dynasty, which are completely two things.

If you are not convinced, what contradictions have you caused?

That simply doesn't exist. As long as people from the local level are transferred to the pro-army every year to maintain this mobility, there will be no problem at all.

Sun Chengzong also probably understood that His Majesty didn't look down on those things and didn't want to equip his country's army.

However, he can also understand that if these old things can be sold, it will certainly not be a cheap price.

Wouldn't it be nice to use the money to make new gear? Why use all this old gear?

The new gear is sure to be enjoyed by more people.

"Then everything is up to Your Majesty." Sun Chengzong nodded and said, "After the minister goes back, he will come up with a charter and see the specific price." When you go to the capital, take stock first and see how much you can take out to sell them. ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded and smiled gently: "That's very good." ”

"Don't worry too much about the king of Joseon, Yi Zong. When I returned to the capital this time, I was going to take him with me and let him go to the capital of Daming to have a look. As for when you'll be back, let's wait until we're done. ”

Zhu Youxiao did this, in fact, there is a suspicion of kidnapping hostages.

If there is any chaos in North Korea after Li Zong arrives in the capital, and someone rebels, it will be even better, and the Ming Dynasty will have a better excuse to send troops to North Korea.

What a good reason to help you quell the rebellion!

At that time, Li Zong will definitely beg Daming, and after Daming's army enters North Korea, it will not be so easy to come out.

Sun Chengzong and Zhu Youxiao discussed this matter. It can be regarded as understanding His Majesty's thoughts. Now that you understand the idea and don't have much impact, you don't need to advise, just go back and prepare well.

"If there is nothing else, then the minister will take his leave." Sun Chengzong said directly.

Zhu Youxiao nodded, didn't say anything more, and watched Sun Chengzong leave.

Sun Chengzong is gone.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Chen Hong, who was standing beside him, and said: "Let this news out, let everyone know that Daming and North Korea have negotiated, and Daming is ready to sell their weapons." ”

"Yes, Emperor." Chen Hong hurriedly and respectfully agreed: "The slave will arrange someone to do it immediately." ”

Since arriving in Liaodong, public opinion has been the focus of Chen Hong's busyness.

After being busy these days, the effect of public opinion is indeed very good. Now most of the public opinion in Shenyang City is controlled by Chen Hong.

After doing a lot of these things, it is called a mastery, even if you go to a new place, there will be no rustiness. As long as you figure out the routine, you will be able to complete the layout in no time.

Now Chen Hong and the others have completed this layout, so after Zhu Youxiao's words are spread, they will soon be able to spread and let everyone who should know know about it.

And who should know who it is, of course, is the Mongols, the Horqin tribe, the five tribes of Inner Khalkha, and other tribes.

Zhu Youxiao's purpose in doing this was to divide and frighten the Mongol tribes.

Why not give these weapons to the Mongols?

Just kidding, they can't produce it themselves, they can't even repair it, they can't use it in their hands.

The tiger squat cannon may be considered, if the Mongols want it, they can sell them some, and let them go to fight Lin Dan Khan.

More will not work, too large a cannon will affect their marching speed, and neither will the musket. If it is a flintlock pistol, the pomp and circumstance cannot be played against them, and the forced use will make the cavalry very helpless, slow down the pace of the cavalry, and will greatly reduce the combat effectiveness.

Better breech-loading muskets then don't think about it, it's impossible to give them it.

After Zhu Youxiao walked around a few laps with his hands behind his back, he felt that it didn't mean much, so he turned to the back.

Anyway, after the news spread, the hairy ones must be those in Mongolia, and there must be many people who are tempted, such as Wu Keshan.

If he can have these equipment, he won't be afraid to turn against others. When the time comes, whoever doesn't listen to him, he can beat them and even swallow up all their tribes.

Although Wu Keshan may not have the courage to start a war with the Ming Dynasty, after annexing all the tribes, his prestige is different.

Sure enough, after the news spread, the entire Shenyang city was in an uproar.

Many people of the Ming Dynasty don't understand, why should they sell good things to North Korea?

Although the North Koreans are very deferential, it is because they are not strong enough. Who knows if they will covet the land of Liaodong after they have the strength?

There is no even need to guess that North Korea will definitely covet the land of Liaodong. Isn't this a legacy of tiger farming? How can such a thing be done?

The Mongols are not worried about this, they are worried about whether the Ming Dynasty will give weapons to Wu Keshan?

If this is the case, then Wu Keshan has strong strength. The power of the Ming people when they used firearms is vivid.

So these Mongolians are busy again.

Since they arrived at Shanhaiguan, they have all sent the news back, and there have been actions in the family. For example, the beauties sent by each tribe have been sent to Shenyang City at this time.
