In the end, Chongzhen didn't say whether to do it or not......

Of course, as a good employee who understands the boss's thoughts, Yang Qing also knows that he will definitely not be able to make a clear statement about this kind of thing, and he is also the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, colluding with thieves to kill his own subjects and invading his own land This kind of thing is too weird, at least he can't say it clearly, and he didn't pretend to be angry and scolded him for talking nonsense, which is already considered Chongzhen's henchman.

But it doesn't matter.

Anyway, he has already drawn it out, Chongzhen can leave it or not!

But it's really worth looking forward to!

Close the door, let Li Zicheng go, let the Shun army go south to the Yangtze River, scared the Jiangnan gentry fart and urine, this scene makes people a little excited, although the time to Nanjing is short, but he already has a great desire to take out those wealthy nobles and put the stick. The extravagance of the city and the starvation of the northern region formed a stark contrast, those on the Qinhuai River with the profits of smuggled maritime trade, the wealth accumulated with tax-free privileges, and the gold and silver obtained by the collusion of officials and businessmen sang songs day and night, the beautiful lights of the painting boats kept the city awake all night, and the extravagant banquets indulged in carnival in the elegant gardens.

It's like a paradise in this era.

And this paradise is built on the bones of countless starving people, and it is not the clear flowing water that holds up the painting boat in the Qinhuai River, but the blood and tears of the poor who are pressed by the exorbitant taxes and land rents of up to eighty percent.

Outside the gates of this paradise is hell.

But he was helpless.

He could only vent with those wolf howls.

If you can really scare them, it can be regarded as comfort.

Chongzhen shouldn't refuse, after all, he really has no other way, these days he and the cabinet have been entangled for more than a month for a whip law, and in the end there is still no result, and this is just a whip law, and Yang Qing's last two are more ruthless, if the former still has the possibility of fighting, then there is no possibility for the two, and the last two, especially the last one, are precisely the most effective way to solve Chongzhen's current predicament.

Nothing could be more effective than that.

This is the magic weapon that the fourth elder brother gave us the Qing Dynasty to renew its life.

Otherwise, the mess left by Kang Mazi would be the second Chongzhen at most.

Chongzhen couldn't resist such a temptation.

Full of malice, Yang Qing left the palace and returned to the wolf's den.

As soon as he entered the door, he got good news, just like he had predicted, Dolgon launched the third invasion of Korea on the grounds that the envoy of the king of Korea was rude, in fact, it was precisely to grab grain, at this time the autumn harvest in Korea had just passed, it was the best time to start, and if he did not grab a handful, I am afraid that there would be a large-scale famine in Shenyang this winter.

They also have no choice.

Then the lonely egg Wang who was missing one egg was unabated, and he beat North Korea like his brother back then, and the momentum along the way was like a bamboo, and it was like a devastating thing to Pyongyang, and it is estimated that it has now hit Seoul, after all, Yang Qing's news was sent to North Korea in the name of a businessman, even if it was smooth, it would take half a month, and half a month was enough for the speed of the Qing army to advance to Seoul in one go, and it is estimated that Li Liang would have to wipe his tears on Ganghwa Island at this time.

But what does this have to do with Daming?

North Korea is no longer a subject country of the Ming Dynasty, Li Liang has long been a vassal to our Qing Dynasty, when he re-declared himself a vassal to the Ming Dynasty, this is related to the Ming Dynasty, at this time how Dolgon abused him has nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty, but at that time they have to pay something, the Ming policy towards the subject country is too good, the good ones are a little unreasonable, they must be changed, these guys want to enjoy the protection of the Ming Dynasty in the future, then they have to pay the corresponding price.

This news has to be reported to Chongzhen.

But there is no need for him to report in person, this is just a trivial matter for Chongzhen, send someone to report to Wang Chengen, and then whether Wang Chengen loves to report or not has nothing to do with Yang Qing, Uncle Zhong Yong dealt with his official documents in the wolf's den, and then ran to the training base outside the city. It is said that his brocade guard is not just a raider, in the future, he is an agent, and he must be proficient in all kinds of assassination, explosion, poisoning and other special operations methods, even including sniping, although there is really no sniper rifle, but ......

"This thing is better than a shotgun!"

Yang Qing picked up a steel-armed crossbow and said.

To be precise, it is an iron arm crossbow, in fact, Yang Qing does not know this kind of carefully selected iron ore, and smelt raw molten iron with charcoal, and then keep stirring until it really can't be stirred, and then repeatedly forging and squeezing out impurities, and then re-carburizing things are considered steel or iron.

But the quality is still okay.

Yang Qing actually did not carry out technological reforms, and this era was how the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty smelted wrought iron.

He just changed the process of smelting coke into pig iron to charcoal.

Before there was enough technology to remove impurities, smelting with charcoal was the only option to ensure quality, although this was costly and much less efficient than coke, but fortunately, it did not care about the cost. Besides, Europe did not change coke until nearly a hundred years later, and at this time it was all charcoal smelting, don't think of Europe as advanced in this era, the steel industry that supported the European Age of Discovery was charcoal, plus high-quality iron ore, and coke was only used in the eighteenth century.

Purely technically speaking, they are not more advanced than the Ming Dynasty.

"Sir, please!"

An old craftsman said respectfully.

Then he handed a crossbow arrow to Yang Qing with both hands.

He and a hundred craftsmen of all kinds, Yang Qing separately asked the Ministry of Works, in this base alone have their workshop, all products are directly tried by Jinyiwei, the product test failed three times, the whole process of people are all called back to the Ministry of Industry, saying that here their wages are three times that the Ministry of Industry can get, and there is no such a good day when you go back.

This guarantees quality.

Yang Qing took the crossbow arrow and loaded it, aiming at the target in front of him, but then gave up and aimed at a bird parked fifty meters away, with the trigger pulled, the crossbow arrow flew out of the target in the blink of an eye, and there was a shout of praise all around, Yang Qing was satisfied and handed this to the Jinyi guard on the side. At this time, fifty brocade guards on both sides were practicing shooting, and in other parts of this training ground, more brocade guards were also sweating on various equipment he designed, saying that he was regularly assessed, and those who failed to pass would be whipped directly, and it was the kind of whip that could open the skin with one whip, and on the contrary, those who performed well were directly rewarded with silver.

"Is there a way for you to put a clairvoyant mirror on this crossbow?"

He said as he watched the hot scene.

"Claircase?"

The old craftsman was stunned.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty had already begun to make its own telescopes, and there was a man named Bo Yu under Zhang Guowei, the secretary of the Ministry of War, who not only made this, but also installed it on a cannon for observation.

"Yes, clairvoyance, and I want to carve a cross line in the clairvoyant, but the line must be very thin and thin, and the central axis of this clairvoyant should be parallel to the central axis of the crossbow, which means that I can aim at the target through this clairvoyant, so that the crossbow shot must also hit the target."

Yang Qing said.

His brain hole is indeed a bit strange for this era.

The old craftsman was stunned.

"What do you mean, sir, that you can use this to aim at a distant and invisible target?"

A young craftsman said cautiously.

"Yes, you can think about it, if anyone can make it, then the reward is a thousand taels of silver!"

Yang Qing said.

Since it's a sniper crossbow, of course, you have to have a scope, although it's really a bit brain-opening, but what if it can be successful? It's not that you really have to snipe long-distance targets with it, but this can ensure the success rate, sniping is naturally going to kill with one shot, the muzzle velocity of this thing ensures accuracy within fifty meters, but the problem is that those crossbowmen can't do it! The person who looks at fifty meters is nothing more than such a small point, how can he still ensure that he aims at the deadly part? To put it bluntly, if you can shoot the torso, you are a master, and this is to be used to carry out assassination missions.

It's not the same with this closing the distance.

Throwing his brain hole to these craftsmen, Lord Yang left satisfied.

In other words, he can actually build a compound gun.

This thing is not difficult, at this time Europe actually already has, of course, it must be a hammer to smash bullets, this thing seems to have appeared in Europe a hundred years ago at the earliest, he wants these craftsmen to engrave a few rifling wires in the bird's gun, it is definitely possible, at least it is much easier than to put a sight on the crossbow, the latter is obviously a brain hole, the world's first rifle with sights got the mid-nineteenth century, and a large number of equipment had to be made by Zeiss on the eve of World War I.

But......

He didn't want to be shot in the head.

No matter how fast the muzzle velocity of the crossbow is, it is nothing more than 100 meters per second, and the muzzle velocity of his crossbow will definitely not exceed 100 meters, and the crossbow arrow target is large, with his strengthened vision and hearing, the crossbow sound can definitely be heard within tens of meters, and he can barely see the crossbow arrow at the end of the same flight.

It was something he was able to dodge.

But shoot him back and forth, he's a fart!

Hearing the gunshots, the bullets basically arrived, and if he was ambushed within a few tens of meters, it was estimated that he would not have time to react.

It is said that Lord Yang knows very well how many people want to shoot him in the head at this time, he doesn't want to one day the rifled gun he worked so hard to build becomes something that ends his life, just this he has already suffered the assassination in Yangzhou last time, these days the hat on his head has been replaced with a specially made helmet, and there is a fart curtain with an iron plate behind the helmet, and he also wears a two-millimeter-thick wrought iron carburized cuirass every day, and even the little brother has a piece in front of him, that is, he doesn't care about the limbs, so there is no special protection.

He's scared of death, too!

Although he was sure that there should be an immortal covering him above his head, he didn't dare to guarantee that this immortal would have time to protect him around the clock.

So let's save money on the gun or something!

If he is not strong enough to put hundreds of guards around, he still has to try to restrain himself and not make trouble for himself, if he can play cold weapons, try to play cold weapons!
