"It's not that the eldest grandson Chong is nepotistic, thinking that the last general is the person who sacrifices the wine, and the last general is idle, just when the last general is ready to cast a new weapon in Gaochang, he will return to the firearms prison, after hearing about Mohou's peerless weapon, the last general has a new inspiration, and it will definitely be cast, that is, the eldest grandson Chong invited me, I still don't go!" Xue Rengui held his head high and said stubbornly.

"So Changsun Chong has found a suitable candidate for the deputy general." Merton said thoughtfully, as the son of a family, it is impossible for Changsun Chong to be stationed in the army and lead the firearms army, and there must be a suitable deputy general to take charge of the firearms army for him on a daily basis, just as he did before.

Xue Rengui couldn't help but look embarrassed and hung his head silently.

Suddenly, a team of hurried horses' hooves sounded, and a team of men and horses hurriedly came to the firearms prison, turned over and dismounted, and said: "I heard that Mo Saijiu took office today, and Sun Wukai, the deputy general of the firearms army, specially came to apply for gunpowder weapons. ”

"Sun Wukai!" Merton couldn't help but look surprised, he didn't expect that the deputy general that Changsun Chong was looking for turned out to be Sun Wukai.

Mo Jiazi and Changsun Chong had a grudge, and Changsun Chong snatched the firearms army from Mo Jiazi's hands, so he naturally didn't want to come to Mo Jiazi, so he sent the newly appointed deputy general of the firearms army, Sun Wukai, to ask for gunpowder weapons.

Merton laughed and said, "Eldest Sun Chong is still really blind, and he actually reuses your Sun Wukai and abandons the real Sun Wu." ”

"Ahh

"Humble and stupid, how can you compare with Sun Wu." Xue Rengui's face couldn't help but turn red, but he didn't expect that Lord Sacrificial Wine would really stand up for him and elevate him to the level of Sun Wu.

Merton glanced at him and said: "Of course you are not as good as Sun Wu, you are only a good general at most now, and it is naturally not a problem to charge into battle, and you can't lead an army alone, of course, in the new firearms army, in addition to Mo, you are also a rare general, and Changsun Chong does not use you as his loss." ”

Xue Rengui couldn't help but feel proud on his face when he heard Merton's evaluation, he didn't feel ashamed, but was extremely satisfied with being called a good general.

"Humph! Mohou couldn't help but underestimate Sun too much. ”

Sun Wukai couldn't help but snort coldly, and couldn't help but look at Xue Rengui provocatively.

Xue Rengui looked back, and the old and the new deputy generals of the firearms army suddenly looked at each other, and the smell of gunpowder was strong in the eyes of the other party.

"Okay, it's a mule or a horse, but I pity my firearms soldiers." Merton sighed.

Sun Wukai said proudly: "The affairs of the firearms army will naturally be in charge of my firearms army commander General Sun, don't worry about Mohou, Mohou and the firearms supervisor only need to provide gunpowder weapons for the firearms army, and the firearms army will naturally prove itself." ”

"Bring the list of weapons!" Merton waved his hand, did not take a break with Sun Wu, and said lightly.

Sun Wukai understood that Mo Jiazi had the first merit to save the driver, and won the trust of Li Shimin, plus he had a request for a firearms supervisor, so he naturally knew the current affairs and handed over the list of weapons needed by the firearms army.

Merton looked at the list of weapons of the firearms army and nodded: "These weapons are not difficult, but the firearms army has expanded three times at once, and the firearms superintendent does not have so many stocks, and it will definitely be prepared for the firearms army within a month." ”

Sun Wukai couldn't help but glance at Merton in surprise, but he didn't expect that Merton was not embarrassed in the slightest, but responded in one bite.

"After all, the firearms army comes from the hands of this sacrificial wine, and this sacrificial wine will naturally recite this incense and want to make the firearms army stronger." Morton seemed to see through Sun Wukai's heart, and said lightly.

Sun Wukai couldn't help Hao Ran, and arched his hand and said, "Mohou Gaoyi." ”

"However, although these gunpowder weapons can be prepared for you, they are conditional." Merton continued.

Sun Wu said happily and secretly sure enough, he knew that this level was not so easy.

"Please also ask Mo Hou to speak clearly!" Sun Wu opened the way.

Merton said: "Needless to say, the importance of gunpowder, I believe you also know, this is the biggest secret of the empire, so the responsibilities of the firearms army and the firearms superintendent should be clearly divided, the firearms superintendent is responsible for the production of gunpowder weapons, and the firearms army is responsible for the use of gunpowder weapons, which is the reason why His Majesty divided the firearms superintendent into two." ”

Sun Wukai nodded solemnly, he naturally knew the importance of gunpowder in the army.

"Not only that, but also the gunpowder weapons are huge, and they can't be prevented, and there are foreign spies who constantly peep at the firearms superintendent and the firearms army, so they must not let any gunpowder leak, so every time the firearms army uses gunpowder, it must declare the quantity and type of use to the firearms superintendent in advance, and it needs to be used under the supervision of the firearms superintendent, and after the training is completed, all gunpowder weapons must be sealed, and there are special personnel from the firearms superintendent to guard them, and there must be no private possession or theft of gunpowder weapons in the firearms army, otherwise it will be dealt with according to military law." Merton said with a solemn expression.

Sun Wukai's face was embarrassed, nominally the firearms army had been separated from the firearms supervisor, but the eldest Sun Chong could not interfere with the firearms supervisor, but was actually interfered with firearms and military objects by Mo Jiazi on the grounds that gunpowder was a state secret.

Merton could naturally see that Sun Wukai was reluctant, and couldn't help but snort coldly: "Gunpowder is a matter of secrecy, once the gunpowder weapon is revealed, let alone General Sun, even his eldest Sun Chong can't afford this responsibility." ”

Sun Wukai said in a hoarse voice: "What if it wasn't revealed by the firearms army, but from the firearms prison?" ”

Merton laughed and said: "What's so difficult about this, when the firearms supervisor doesn't cast a gunpowder weapon, the inside is printed with a number, and you can clearly find out when and where this weapon came from which craftsman, and where it has gone. ”

"Mo Hou has thought it through, but this matter is not something that can be decided by a humble position, and he will report to General Sun to make a decision after he returns." Sun Wukai bowed his head and said. The only one who can compete with the Mo family is the eldest grandson Chong, one of them is the best among the children of the family, and the other is the best among the children of the hundred families.

Merton nodded, and said indifferently: "Then you can naturally, if you don't want to, you can play to Your Majesty, please Your Majesty decide." ”

"In that case, the last general will retire!" Sun Wu bowed and said.

Changsun Mansion.

The eldest grandson Chong couldn't help but be satisfied, and swept away the previous decadence.

He is the head of the family, backed by the favor of the eldest grandson family and Li Shimin, both the military department and the civilian department have given the green light to the firearms army, and the number or funds are fully supported.

The entire Changsun Mansion could feel the changes in Changsun Chong, which made Changsun Wuji nod secretly, the changes in Changsun Chong were not in vain He risked offending the Mo family and offending the emperor for the position of firearms supervisor and priest wine for Changsun Chong.

"General Changsun!" Sun Wukai hurriedly came to the front of the eldest Sun Chong and watched Sun Wukai come back empty-handed just now, and couldn't help frowning: "Why, the Mo family wanted to embarrass the firearms army and deliberately withheld the gunpowder weapon. ”

The eldest grandson Chong knew that he had snatched the firearms army, and the Mo family must be uncomfortable in his heart, and it was not surprising that he would be embarrassed when he thought about it, but he was not afraid, he had His Majesty's holy purpose, once the Mo family deliberately embarrassed the firearms army, he would definitely not hesitate to play a copy of the Mo family in the Taiji Palace.

Sun Wukai shook his head and said, "The Mo family did not withhold the gunpowder weapon, but said that it could be cast after a month, and the firearms army could get it." ”

Eldest Sun Chong's face was surprised, he didn't expect this trip to be so smooth, and couldn't help but show a smug smile and said, "Count him as acquaintances." ”

"However, Mo Jiazi put forward a request, that is, the use of gunpowder weapons by the firearms army must be under the supervision of the firearms superintendent, otherwise it will ..................."

Before Sun Wukai finished speaking, the eldest Sun Chong suddenly jumped like thunder and said: "The firearms supervisor wants to supervise the firearms army, and his Mo family's hands are too long!" ”

"Mo Jiazi uses the smell of gunpowder as an excuse for state secrets!" Sun Wukai said helplessly.

The eldest grandson Chong said angrily: "As far as he knows that gunpowder is a state secret, how can General Ben not know, how can General Ben do such a leak, why doesn't he Mo Jiazi let the firearms army supervise, no, General Ben must play a copy of Mo Jiazi, Mo Jiazi is communiquéing personal vendetta." ”

"Idiot, what are you going to do to play the Mo family. On the official position, he is the fourth grade, you are the fifth grade, on the title, he is the marquis, what about you? You wait for the old man to die before you are the duke, and by then the title of the Mo family is probably no longer under the old man, and the gunpowder is originally from the Mo family, and the Mo family will be repeatedly assassinated by the Tibetan Turks if he wants to leak the secret. What's more, you think that there is no one to supervise the firearms superintendent, why is Bing Jingsi Deng Chong in the firearms superintendent, most of the first batch of firearms troops are people of the hundred horsemen, but you drove away Xue Rengui, the original captain of the hundred cavalry, what are you playing the Mo family. Suddenly, there was a stern reprimand outside the house, and I saw the eldest grandson Wuji walking in with a wooden face.

"Lord Eldest Sun!" Sun Wukai hurriedly saluted.

"Father! Is it just to let the Mo family bully the child's head? The eldest grandson Chong was not convinced.

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at the still childish eldest grandson Chong, and then thought about the Mo family's vertical and horizontal struggle above the court, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart, but he still patiently said: "Although you and the Mo family are deeply trusted by Your Majesty, in the gunpowder, the Mo family is the absolute authority, otherwise why do you think Your Majesty can't wait to reinstate the Mo family's officials, you can't compare to the Mo family in any way, even if you play now, what do you think Your Majesty will think, all the reasons for the Mo family's supervision of the firearms army are bright and bright, It's all for Datang, what are your intentions if you don't want to accept supervision. ”

"Child............." The eldest grandson opened his mouth, trying to argue but couldn't speak.

The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head and said: "Even if Your Majesty is in the middle, it is not the Mo family that supervises the firearms army will also be the hundred horsemen who supervise the firearms army, you can't get rid of it, and it will leave a bad impression in Your Majesty's heart, you must know that what you control is the most secret firearms army in the Tang Dynasty, once you leave a bad impression in Your Majesty's heart, do you think you can still control the firearms army?" ”

The eldest grandson Chong was speechless for a moment.

"Besides, although Mo Jiazi supervised the firearms of the firearms army, he did not detain your gunpowder weapons, nor did he interfere with your military power, if you want to get rid of the influence of the Mo family, then take a good firearms army, when you prove yourself with a huge record, no matter how much credit the Mo family has in the firearms prison, it is just to make a wedding dress for you." The eldest grandson Wuji persuaded.

"The child understands!" Eldest Sun Chong took a deep breath and said solemnly.
