"Xu Changsha wants to sell the blueprints of his weapon?"

After listening to Wang Xiaoyi's report, Nangong Sui and Nangong Que fell into shock.

"Daddy! This is a great opportunity! That weapon is so powerful! As long as we get the drawings, we can produce secretly, and as long as we reach a certain size, we can arm a powerful army! When the time comes, maybe the East China Sea can be replaced! Nangong Que's face was overjoyed.

Nangong Sui frowned, a little hesitant: "Everyone knows that the weapon in Xu Changsha's hand is so strong, he will sell it easily?" Will there be fraud in this? ”

"Dad, Xu Changsha's waste prince, what else can he not do? I think he's really short of money! Nangong Que didn't think so, he imagined secretly buying Xu Xiang's drawings, and then letting the craftsman build the weapon, when he held such a powerful weapon, who else would dare to provoke him?

"Master Hou, since the destruction of Chu by the Northern Meng, the gold and silver given to him by the Chu State on a monthly basis have been cut off since then, and now he has to marry the princess again, there is indeed no money available!" Wang Xiaoyi also agrees with Nangong Que's opinion.

"No, no!" Nangong Sui still shook his head, "This weapon is powerful, it is impossible for the East China Sea royal family not to understand." will never let Xu Changsha sell to others, what if it falls into the hands of secret spies of other countries? ”

Wang Xiaoyi saw that Nangong Sui still had some doubts, so he said: "Master Hou can rest assured, although Xu Changsha asked the villain to help find a buyer, but isn't all this the villain's final say?" When the time comes, arrange for someone to pretend to be a secret spy of another country, so that he will not know that you bought the drawings. And ......"

Speaking of this, he paused, and there was a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes, "Master Hou can also take the opportunity to put him together, so that he will never recover." ”

Nangong Que hurriedly asked, "How can you make Xu Changsha doomed?" ”

"Hou Ye also said just now, the East China Sea royal family will definitely not let Xu Changsha hand over the weapon drawings to others, so ...... As long as we pass on the news of Xu Changsha's plan to sell drawings to his country's secret spies to the royal family, does Hou Ye think Donghai will let Xu Changsha go? ”

"Wonderful! Wonderful! Nangong Que was overjoyed, which could not only get the drawings, but also make Xu Xiang, who he hated, deflated, and won his heart.

Nangong closed his eyes and pondered, and did not make a decision for a while.

"Dad, what are you waiting for? What an opportunity! Nangong Que saw that Nangong Sui still hadn't made a decision, and he was a little anxious at the moment.

"Although this matter seems simple on the surface, my father still thinks that Xu Changsha will definitely not sell the drawings easily." Nangong Sui opened his eyes, "In this way, Wang Xiaoyi, you first confirm where Xu Changsha's weapon blueprint came from, this is definitely not what he originally had." If their Chu State itself had such a powerful weapon, it would not have fallen to the point of letting Northern Mongolia invade the country! ”

Nangong Que and Wang Xiaoyi looked disappointed, but Nangong Sui seemed to have made up his mind, and the two didn't say anything more.

Outside Linzi City, a hidden place, this is the place where Jiang Zhen and Jiang Fu chose to make weapons.

It has been two days since Donghai got the drawings, and Jiang Zhen was very concerned about this matter, so he arranged for him to come over and take a look.

Early in the morning, Jiang Fu came here.

The musket was made of wood, and the other parts were made of iron. So most of the craftsmen here are blacksmiths and carpenters.

The whole place is very secretive, it is a small valley, the outside of the mountain is full of secret sentinels, and the place where it was made is guarded by more than a thousand soldiers, in addition to preventing others from entering, and forbidding the craftsmen inside.

After passing through the sentry post, he came to the valley. The chief officer of the Ordnance Department welcomed him in, he was anxious to know the progress of the manufacturing, and took the lead in asking, "Li Huaimin, how is the situation now?" ”

"Your Highness! After the efforts of our Ordnance Division in the past two days, half of it has been completed! The chief replied with a smile on his face.

"Oh? It's going so well? Jiang Fu looked at the drawings by himself and felt that it was very complicated, he didn't expect the drawings to be in the hands of the Ordnance Division, but it was so easy, it seems that professional things still have to be handed over to professional people to do!

"Take Prince Ben over and have a look!"

Soon, they came to the heart of the area, where the clanging of iron was heard one after another, and many craftsmen were making parts according to the drawings.

After passing through the core area, we came to the warehouse, which was not large, about fifty square meters, and the whole warehouse was not stacked with other things, but rows of wooden shelves, and on each shelf were carefully crafted earthen guns, at least more than a hundred.

So much was made in two days, and it's still being made. Xu Xiang didn't put this earthen gun because of the spring, so he could only put more than ten guns. If Jiang Xiang knew that Xu Xiang deliberately didn't tell him that he had this drawback, he would probably try his best to find him.

"Your Highness, everything that has been made in the past two days is here!"

Jiang Fu was very satisfied, and casually picked up a gun and compared it with the gun Xu Xiang gave him, it was obvious that the craftsmen here were the best in the East China Sea, so the production was more sophisticated.

"Li Huaimin, you did a great job! The fact that I was able to make a musket so quickly is thanks to my East China Sea! When Prince Ben returns, he will definitely ask for credit to your father! ”

Li Huaimin didn't see joy, and he stopped talking a little.

Jiang Fu noticed his strangeness and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Your Highness!" Li Huaimin knelt on the ground, "The lower officials are incompetent, the musket is only half completed, and it is ......."

Jiang Fu was stunned for a moment, obviously he had already made the musket, and he did it so well, why was he like this?

"Master Li, what's going on?"

"Your Highness! According to the description of the drawings, in addition to the gun itself, this musket also needed to make an important thing - bullets. ”

"That's right! Prince Ben remembered that Xu Changsha said this at that time. But what's wrong with this bullet? Is it just to cut the bamboo tube to a fixed size and fill the bamboo tube with iron beads and gunpowder? ”

"But Your Highness! According to the drawings, we made a fixed-size bamboo tube and filled it with gunpowder and iron balls. Look at this ......" After speaking, Li Huaimin took out a bullet, which they made by themselves.

"Hmm!" Jiang Fu picked up the bullet, "It's no different from Xu Changsha's bullet." ”

"No, Your Highness! Even if we loaded the bullets, nine out of nine did not react, and only a few bullets could be like the second prince Xu. And...... Some even started a fire and set the muskets on fire! ”

"What? Nine out of nine no response? Jiang Fu's brows were tightly locked, thinking about what went wrong.

Li Huaimin whispered, "Your Highness, will it ...... It's the second prince Xu, have some reservations? ”

"You get up first and speak, what do you think, but it doesn't hurt to say!"

Li Huaimin stood up, took out the drawings, and said: "Your Highness, after many failures, our Ordnance Department began to discuss, regarding the internal mechanism of the musket, we can verify all the operating principles, the only thing that cannot be verified is that after loading, the bell will hit the bullet and produce sparks."

"So, the source of all this should be the configuration of gunpowder! It is written in the drawings that charcoal powder, sulfur, and saltpeter ore powder are filled into it, but it does not mention how much charcoal powder, sulfur, and saltpeter should be put in, so ......"

Hearing this, Jiang Fu interrupted him, "I know, you produce muskets first, and I'll go to Xu Changsha for the bullet problem!" ”

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"What has Xu Changsha been doing lately?" As soon as he returned to the mansion, he called Ying Jiu, who was in charge of monitoring Xu Xiang, over.

"Your Highness, since he rescued Lu Tianyao's wife from the Wang family, he has been living in a private house near Qingyinfang. In addition to visiting Lu Tianyao during the day, he went to Lingxiao Gate for a walk! Last night, I went to the palace to see the princess. Everything is out of the ordinary! ”

Jiang Fu listened to Ying Jiu's words, frowned, and asked coldly, "Why did he go to see Shen Yu last night?" Why don't you report such a big thing? ”

"Your Highness's forgiveness!" Ying Jiu hurriedly knelt down and explained: "Yesterday he was the princess who went to see him at the hour, and it was already three minutes after reporting to his subordinates, and your Highness, you were already asleep at this time. The subordinates thought that the second prince and the fifth princess were husband and wife after all, so they ......"

"That's it! Get up, forget it this time! In the future, Xu Changsha doesn't need to report except for eating and sleeping, and everything will be reported to me as soon as possible! Jiang Fu's tone softened slightly.

"Your Highness!" Ying Jiu got up, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and said: "There is one more thing, after you left the city, Ying Qi reported that the house of His Royal Highness the Second Prince was robbed last night. After Xu Changsha found out in the morning, he broke a lot of things. Ying Qi asked if he wanted to report to the official, but Xu Changsha instantly became indifferent, saying that he had lost a dozen taels of silver and did not need to report to the official. ”

"Huh?" Jiang Fu frowned, "If it's really just a dozen taels of silver, then why was you furious at first?" ”

"Yes! That's what his subordinates think. Ying Jiu nodded approvingly.

"Let's go! Go find Xu Changsha! ”
