Chapter 264: Sudden Opportunity
It was only now that Li Yan realized that he was more like doing business than being an official, because no matter what he did, it would definitely be linked to silver in his eyes......
Li Yan didn't understand why this was the case, could it be that he was born to be the life of the rich man?
The Rich Landlord...... Thinking of these words, Li Yan felt a chill in his heart, is it too big a change, is it obviously a handsome son, is it good!
I went to the Firearms Bureau in the afternoon, and the scale of the Firearms Bureau of the Ming Dynasty is not too large, after all, the firearms of the Ming Dynasty are only equipped by the Shenji Battalion, and the other armies can't even touch the edges, so naturally, those guys in the Ministry of War will not allocate more money to the Firearms Bureau.
The master of the Firearms Bureau was very interested in Li Yan's idea, and looked at the design of the gunpowder gun proposed by Li Yan, and then nodded, praising Li Yan's design for being really superb.
In fact, Li Yan made the base map according to the toy gun he played with in his previous life, and then modified it, as for the toy gun, it is the kind of revolver, which can be loaded with several bullets, and the bullets can be changed after a circle.
In view of this difficulty, Li Yan directly turned the bullet into gunpowder mud, then hid the iron sand in the gunpowder mud, and then stretched the barrel, and the shape was somewhat similar to a shotgun.
Thousands of descriptions are just one sentence, and that is the extended version of the big revolver!
There are many skilled craftsmen in the Firearms Bureau, and after Li Yan communicated with them a few times, the enlarged revolver of the Ming Dynasty was made.
After Li Yan showed it to Li Dongyang, Li Dongyang was also very curious, after all, as a civil official, he had never been in contact with this kind of thing, so he pulled the trigger in curiosity, and directly blasted out a big hole in the door of his house without noticing!
Li Dongyang was shocked and called the killer weapon ......
With such power, Li Dongyang was naturally overjoyed, but he was a little entangled, on the one hand, he hoped that Daming could be equipped with more gunpowder guns, and on the other hand, he did not want to be equipped with this kind of gunpowder guns.
There is no other reason, the power is too great, and it is easy to cause murder!
Regarding Li Dongyang's idea, Li Yan took retreat as advance, and promised Li Dongyang that this kind of gunpowder gun was only equipped in Jinyiwei, and other armies would not give it, and the production process and process of this kind of gunpowder gun would never be passed on.
Li Dongyang is worthy of being a human spirit, and after listening to Li Yan's words, he immediately reacted.
"Li Yan, you are a vertical son, are you keeping all the good things for yourself? Don't equip other armies yet, I think this was your selfish intention in the first place, right? ”
Li Dongyang's words are not inaccurate, just a few words directly saw through Li Yan's heart.
Hearing this, Li Yan smiled. "Li Ge always thinks so?"
Li Yan said so, and after speaking, he quietly waited for Li Dongyang's answer.
"It seems that what the old man said is true?" Li Dongyang did not answer the rhetorical question.
"That'...... Does Li Ge Lao support the kid's idea? Li Yan deliberately pulled a long tone, but his expression was very serious.
Behind Li Yan, Mike and Zhao Shun stood, side by side, like two invincible guards.
Li Dongyang looked at the three people in front of him, these three people stood in a zigzag shape, Li Yan was in front, and the two were behind.
"If the old man doesn't agree, will you coerce the old man?" Li Dongyang asked in a deep voice.
"Haha......" Li Yan laughed a few times in embarrassment, his face bitter. If Li Ge refused, then the kid had to use his old methods. ”
Li Yan smiled helplessly, after all, it is not a very glorious thing to be a scoundrel, let alone a scoundrel with an old man?

With the design drawings, the master of the Firearms Bureau quickly made the gunpowder gun, and after making it, it was put into large-scale production, during which the captain of Li Yan patted the Jinyi Guard surrounded the Firearms Bureau, and the main masters were invited by Li Yan to their homes every day to be 'guests'.
What is the reason for this, Li Yan doesn't say that these masters also know, and the news can't be leaked!
Within a few days, Sun Mao was nominated, Li Dongyang launched a court meeting, and the two directly crushed all the opposing ministers with a tough posture, plus Zhu Houzhao helped in the Golden Palace, and the matter of equipping Jinyiwei with gunpowder guns and guns was quickly settled.
Within a month, all the Jinyi guards went into battle with guns on their backs.
For this new type of firearm, Mike is relatively more interested, and when developing this thing, Li Yan called Mike, Mike is a Westerner, and the transformation of thinking is a little different from the master of the Ming Dynasty, and he can always put forward some very useful ideas at critical moments.
After thinking about these ideas, Li Yan also accepted them happily, after all, gunpowder guns were the first to be popularized in the West, so it is not too much to ask Mike.
As for the 'miraculous skills' mentioned by some ministers of the DPRK and China, Li Yan did not care at all, and the next day he asked Zhu Houzhao to dismiss them from their posts and investigate them.
In this way, all the ministers understood better that there was some Zhu Houzhao's support behind Li Yan's doing!
This is a good thing, the ministers who originally had some complaints about Li Yan suddenly all shut up with an unusually tacit attitude, and did not waste a word, but also expressed their support openly and secretly.
Now Li Yan is also a person with great power, and it is naturally more convenient to do things than before, without so many scruples, he paid his own money to let the Firearms Bureau make a lot of bullets, and took Jinyiwei out to practice every day.
Not only that, Li Yan also bought a hill in the name of Donglai Bank and built a shooting range in it, which is called a shooting range.
Not only did Jinyiwei come here to practice, Li Yan also invited many ministers of the DPRK and China to come and visit, and some good things came to take a look, touched the gunpowder gun, and after trying to fire a shot, he gave Li Yan a thumbs up in the smell of gunpowder on his face.
"This is really a weapon of the country!"
"Daming has this, how can he not prosper?"
"Commander Li is really a genius!"
Civil officials have also changed their tunes.
To make such a big battle, it is naturally indispensable to miss Zhu Houzhao, Li Yan's shooting range opened and cut the ribbon, Zhu Houzhao's first shot, followed by Li Yan, and then Li Dongyang, the old man of the Central Cabinet, and others, each shot one shot, a total of one hundred and eight shots, with the number of each heaven and earth.
……
…………
Jinyiwei's drill was in full swing, Li Yan was happy to see it, and his mood was a lot better, thinking about when to take it out to practice and practice, this thing can't just practice, it has to be practiced, right?
Li Yan thought so, but he didn't expect that the opportunity for actual combat would come so quickly!
Within a few days, the northeast border was in an emergency again, and the Tatars almost rushed out and pressed towards the Ming border! There are so many Tatar troops that they can't see the end from the beginning to the end!
