Seeing that the emperor was so sure, the two surnamed Bi looked at each other, so they had no choice but to press down and not rush to send troops. Because they also know that the focus of the imperial court now is to solve the problem of Liaodong Jianlu.

But knowing that there is such a big news, their emotions can't calm down no matter what. That's more gold and silver than the total wealth of all the people in the Ming Dynasty now! And it is certain that this mountain is definitely a high mountain, not a hill.

With excitement, Bi Ziyan hurriedly bid farewell to the emperor, and he was going to hurry to arrange negotiations with the Oirat Mongols on the arms deal.

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and watched the two courtiers retreat, there was actually one more thing in his heart, or the benefits were not said. That is, if Oirat Mongolia has sharp firearms and can win against Tsarist Russia, those small countries around it will not be a problem.

And if the Oirat Mongols want to keep buying arms from the Ming Dynasty, it is definitely not enough to rely on their own cattle and sheep. Then, they had to use the firearms in their hands to rob the countries and tribes around them, and then resell the looted materials to Daming. In other words, they basically acted as Daming's thugs and worked hard for Daming.

When he was thinking like this, he suddenly saw Bi Ziyan, who was about to reach the gate of the hall, turn back again, and with excitement, he bowed down and played: "Your Majesty, the minister has a plan to play!" ”

"Quasi-play!" When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was a little surprised, and nodded curiously in agreement.

I saw Bi Ziyan raise his head excitedly and played: "Your Majesty, since the Oirat Department is on the Mongolian side, what about the other tribes and vassal states?" The minister thought that it would be better to sell these firearms to other tribes and vassal states as well, so that my Ming would make more money! ”

This was what he thought of before, and he had been waiting for the emperor to make a suggestion after he finished speaking. Unexpectedly, as soon as I was shocked by the emperor's previous news, I almost forgot it, and I thought about it when I came to the door of the palace.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he shook his head and said: "At present, the production of flintlock pistols is not high, and more firearms cannot be sold for the time being. Moreover, the benefits of this flintlock pistol must be experienced by the buyer himself, just like the Mongols of the Oirat Division, who participated in the training of the new army and knew how to train the strongest firearms army, they would be willing to pay a large price to buy it. And this is also the reason why I agreed to let the Mongolian envoys of the Oirat Department go to Beijing to train in the new army from the beginning! ”

Hearing this, Bi Ziyan suddenly realized. It turns out that the emperor has been thinking about these things for a long time, and he has been arranging this since years ago!

He had nothing else to do, so he quit again. After leaving the palace gate, he hurried and caught up with Bi Maokang, who had taken the first step, and immediately asked him to find a way to increase the production of flintlock pistols as soon as possible. The principal is not enough, he can go to see the emperor together, and he can allocate a little more to the Ordnance Bureau.

Bi Ziyan's enthusiasm scared Bi Maokang, it wasn't like this before! He also understood that the reason why Tobe Shangshu had changed so much was there. In this regard, he naturally agreed, and at the same time, he also felt a lot of pressure.

The two were walking out, and suddenly, Bi Ziyan patted his head and said angrily: "What's the matter today, this official originally had something to play the emperor, but he didn't remember it until now." ”

As he spoke, he looked a little embarrassed, and at the same time shook his head with emotion.

Bi Maokang couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

So, on Emperor Chongzhen's side, he heard the inner servant tell him again that the head of the household department was from Ziyan and came to ask for an audience again.

"......" Emperor Chongzhen was speechless, but naturally he would not refuse, so he let Bi Ziyan meet him again.

As soon as Bi Ziyan entered the palace gate, after saluting again, he said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, I heard that the new army will open Haizhou soon, but the military supplies are difficult to gather for a while. There is also the fact that firearms training costs a lot of money and food. If His Majesty still wants to train a new army as a firearms army, the household side will really not be able to supply it. ”

Indeed, if the firearms army is to meet the operational standards of the new army, then the amount of firearms and gunpowder consumed in training is not small. And the finances of the imperial court are mostly rootless water, and there is only so much money from the house last year. Although the seeds of money have been planted, they are still only seedlings, and it is not yet time to blossom and bear fruit. Bi Ziyan's words cannot be said to be unreasonable.

Emperor Chongzhen listened, frowned and thought for a while, then said to Bi Ziyan: "The reorganization of the new army is the top priority, otherwise, my Ming army will have combat power." Therefore, the reorganization of the new army cannot be delayed for a single day. As for the source of money and food, I will find a way! ”

Bi Ziyan listened, a little disappointed, but he couldn't object, if the emperor could find money, then he wouldn't object. So, this time, he finally left the temple and did not return.

And Emperor Chongzhen sat on the throne, deep in thought, quietly thinking about where the money and food would come from?

After thinking about it for a while, his eyes finally lit up, so he entered the chat group, clicked on Man Jianghong's icon, and asked in a private chat: "Dongwu, do you have eyebrows?" ”

This is full of Jianghong, that is, the king of Tang. At this time, he was in Yunnan, and together with Min Hongxue, the minister of the Qincha and the auxiliary minister of the cabinet, he recruited troops for training, as a basis for attacking Dongwu.

Hearing the emperor's initiative to ask, King Tang didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, that King of Dongwu Talong seems to be different from the previous King of Dongwu's belligerent nature, and it seems that he has a move to recuperate, which is quite supported by the people of Dongwu. Min Ge always thought that the sooner the battle for Dongwu, the better, once the waiting time was too long, let King Long gain a firm foothold and win the support of all his subjects, then the war would be difficult to fight! “

In the original history, after King Talon seized the throne, he did begin to recuperate. He moved the capital to Awa, rectified the administration of officials, appointed talents, rectified and strengthened the Ahmudan organization, surveyed and registered the population and land of the whole country, reformed the administrative system, strengthened the centralization of power, used and controlled religious forces, encouraged farming, developed production, encouraged fertility, and developed the population, etc., so that Dongwu's national strength was greatly improved. As a result, Dongwu under the rule of the Donghu Dynasty once again appeared in a situation of political stability and economic prosperity.

If you wait until such a situation appears, if Da Ming attacks again, it will indeed become difficult to fight.

"But at present, the ministers have only completed the recruitment of the first batch of soldiers, and it will take at least a few years to prepare for training and putting them into attack Dongwu." Tang Wang continued to chat privately, "I'm afraid Dongwu is not easy to fight!" ”

When Emperor Chongzhen saw these words, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
