Volume II, Chapter 35
Zhang Bin knew that Bi Maoliang should have misunderstood his intentions, he was not here to ask for help, but to pull the two brothers into his camp.
As for how to win them over, he hasn't thought about it yet, because he is not familiar with these two brothers at all, so he can only get familiar with them first.
He didn't think that when his tiger body was shaken, the two brothers immediately bowed their heads, and this situation basically did not exist.
Anyway, the time is still very sufficient, if it doesn't work once, it will be twice, and if it doesn't work twice, it will be three times, as long as the kung fu is deep, the iron rod can be sharpened into a needle for him, and he doesn't believe that he can't impress these two brothers.
However, before this began, it was misunderstood that they were here to ask for help, which is not good, and these two brothers can't be allowed to underestimate themselves.
He took out the words that fooled Yang Wenzhong last time, and said half-truthfully: "Master Bi, don't hide it, the reason why the younger generation came here is the meaning of Grandpa Guo, there is a lot of competition in the capital here, and Grandpa Guo is afraid that I will accidentally get involved, so let me come here for a few years first, and then go back when the wind and waves are calm over there." ”
Bi Maoliang was stunned when he heard this, and asked with some surprise: "Grandpa Guo, which Grandpa Guo?" “
Zhang Bin then explained: "My ancestor had the honor to serve under the command of King Dingxing. “
It turned out to be a British duke, it seems that he wanted to go wrong, this young man has the support of the British duke, and he doesn't need to help himself at all, he is relieved: "Lord Zhang turned out to be the old British duke, and the future is immeasurable, the future is immeasurable." ”
Zhang Bin hurriedly said modestly: "My lord has won the prize." ”
Bi Maoliang continued to ask, "I don't know who Ling Zun is." ”
Zhang Bin hurriedly introduced in a respectful tone: "My father is Zhang Chengde, a thousand households of the Dajin Institute in Funing Prefecture. ”
Bi Maoliang suddenly said: "Oh, it turns out that Ling Zun is Zhang Qianhu of Dajin." ”
Zhang Bin was surprised: "Adults know my father? ”
Bi Maoliang nodded and recalled: "When I pacified the Haikou Yuan Jin, I had the honor to meet Ling Zun a few times. ”
Zhang Bin had heard his father mention the pacification of Haikou Yuan Jin, but at that time, it was the governor Huang Chengyuan and the famous general Shen Yourong who were in command, and his father never mentioned Bi Maoliang.
However, this topic can just be pulled to gunpowder weapons, maybe he can talk about some resonance or something, he hurriedly flattered: "It turns out that what my father said about Master Bi is you, the adult strategizes and wins a thousand miles, and the younger generation admires it." ”
In fact, Zhang Bin didn't know what Bi Maoliang did when he pacified Haikou, but when there were military generals leading the troops, civilian officials generally gave advice, so he blinded this sentence.
Sure enough, Bi Maoliang said a little smugly: "I just moved my mouth, I didn't dare to take credit, I didn't dare to take credit." ”
Zhang Bin sighed and said: "Alas, my lord doesn't know, now, there are more and more pirates in the southeast, and they are about to catch up with the Jiajing Dynasty." ”
When Bi Maoliang heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked: "Ah, so serious? ”
Zhang Bin added fuel to the last pirate attack on the southeast coast, and showed his wounds.
Bi Maoliang looked at the wound on his arm, and couldn't help but say sadly: "Alas, the north is rampant with slaves, the southwest Tusi is in turmoil, and now the southeast is rising again, and the Ming Dynasty is afraid that it will experience a terrible catastrophe again." ”
Finally came to the point, Zhang Bin hurriedly pretended to be righteous and awe-inspiring, and encouraged: "Daming has constant internal and external troubles, it is the time for us to serve the country, can the two adults have a good plan?" ”
The emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuchs are not in a hurry, what is the use of others being in a hurry, Bi Maoliang sighed: "The traitorous eunuch is in charge, and there is no way to serve the country!" ”
Zhang Bin hurriedly offered a plan: "The younger generation has thought of a way. ”
Bi Mao said curiously: "Oh, what way? ”
Zhang Bin didn't answer and asked: "Do you remember the invincible Qi family army in the southern and northern wars?" ”
Bi Maoliang sighed again and said: "No one knows about the Qi family's army, but unfortunately, in the battle of the Hunhe River, the Qi family's army has been wiped out. ”
Zhang Bin reminded: "We can find a way to train another Qi family army." ”
Bi Maoliang shook his head and said: "The Qi family army has no problem dealing with pirates and Tusi, but it is still almost impossible to deal with Jiannu, if the Qi family army can defeat Jiannu, the battle of Hunhe will not be wiped out." ”
Zhang Bin hurriedly arched his hand and said, "This is not true. ”
Bi Maoliang couldn't help but wonder: "Oh, how do you say it? ”
Zhang Bin explained: "If you talk about combat strength, the Qi family army is actually not worse than Jiannu, the younger generation has carefully analyzed the reasons for the defeat of the Qi family army in the first battle of the Hunhe River, the number is too small is one aspect, on the other hand, the weapons of the Qi family army are also a bit outdated, in the past, with arquebuses and tiger squat guns, the Qi family army can easily defeat the Mengyuan cavalry, that is because the Mengyuan cavalry protection is too poor. The protection of the Jiannu cavalry is stronger than that of the Mengyuan cavalry, if they can't be suppressed with muskets and artillery, they can rush into the Qijia army's car formation with two rounds of guns, once they are allowed to rush into the car formation, the infantry will be defeated against the cavalry. In other words, if we can find a way to improve the muskets and artillery, then the Qi army will be able to defeat the Jiannu cavalry. ”
Bi Maoliang didn't understand it yet, but Bi Maokang's eyes lit up when he heard it, originally his brother was here, and he didn't have the right to speak, but at this moment, he couldn't help but speak: "You mean self-generated fire?" ”
Zhang Bin nodded and said: "Yes, the arquebus can be improved into a self-generated fire gun ignited with flint, so that the rate of fire will increase, and at the same time, you can fire a few more shots, and then improve the loading method of ammunition, the rate of fire can be increased several times, if the tiger squat cannon is improved to the loading method of the Franc machine gun, the rate of fire of the artillery will also come up, and when a rain of bullets will go down, it will be difficult for the Jiannu cavalry to rush into the car formation." ”
When Bi Maokang heard this, he said excitedly: "You can also equip the flatbed car with shields and platoon guns, so that even if the Jiannu cavalry rushes up, they will not be afraid, and they can be stabbed to death if they directly push the car and hit it!" ”
Isn't it the same as a hedgehog when the flat car is equipped with a shield and a platoon gun, this is indeed a good way, Zhang Bin couldn't help but admire: "The younger generation has long heard that Lord Xiaobi is proficient in all kinds of weapons, and when I see it today, it is really extraordinary, why don't we develop new weapons together, equip the Qi family army, and defeat Jiannu in one fell swoop?" ”
When Bi Maokang heard this, he couldn't help but be eager to try, but Bi Maoliang poured a basin of cold water, shook his head and sighed: "Alas, what are you kidding about developing weapons, what are the six departments in the capital in chaos now, the old weapons can't be made, and what new weapons are being developed!" ”
Bi Maokang thought of the chaos in the capital, and couldn't help frowning, indeed, now that the capital is in chaos, he ran to develop new weapons, don't even think about it.
Zhang Bin couldn't help but suggest: "The Sixth Department of the Southern Capital is still relatively calm, and you can find a way to develop new weapons in the Ministry of Industry of the Southern Capital." ”
Bi Maoliang still shook his head and sighed: "There is no one in the Ministry of Industry in Nandu, and there is no money to ask for money, let alone think about it." ”
