Chapter 62: Two Articles
"Oh, muskets? I've heard Jin'er say that you can talk to him later, and as for materials such as steel and silver, you can rest assured that I will fully cooperate with you......"
The imitation of the musket was proposed by Liu Huayun, and later the Shenji Battalion began to improve the Shenwei cannon at his suggestion, and these emperors He Yu heard the prince He Jin say.
knew that once muskets and new cannons were equipped with various armies, they could completely replace repeating crossbows, bows and arrows, etc., and become Dafeng's unique weapons of killing;
And in front of him, his good son-in-law is so attentive, and he wants to be loyal to Dafeng, so the old man nodded very happily.
"Okay, old man, I'll quit first."
According to the old man's instructions, after leaving the imperial study, Liu Huayun took Liu Ruoping and went to see the crown prince He Jin;
I wonder what they're talking about. It wasn't until half an hour later that the two carriages left the imperial city under the protection of Zhao Yuanfang and other internal guards, heading in the direction of the Shenji Battalion......
Today's capital is very prosperous and lively, and many people already know about the arrival of the envoys of the four countries, especially with the release of the two lists, the people have more to talk about.
"Brother, have you heard? Our Emperor His Majesty will openly recruit horses for Princess Yunling the day after tomorrow; You and I are not married yet, is this pie in the sky?
Let's go and sign up for the literary audition, maybe we will have a chance to enter the top three, be selected by the princess, and become the envy of everyone......"
"Yes, this time I came to Beijing in advance to prepare for the palace test next spring, you and I are indeed lucky, let's go, don't miss such a good opportunity!"
At a bustling intersection, in front of the notice posted on the imperial list, there was a crowd of people pointing and pointing, and two young talents with handsome books on their backs were talking like this;
Listening to their meaning, it seems that they have hugged the beauty and stepped out of the cold door to enjoy the wealth.
"Princess Yunling, I don't know what she looks like? can it be compared to He Zixun and that damn Liu Ruoxi;
But whatever? This is a great opportunity for me Lin Feng to show off her talents, even if she is short, ugly and fat, so what, as long as she can become a concubine, everything is worth it......"
In the Guozi Prison of the Royal Academy, in the study room full of dozens of young talents, after listening to the sacrifice wine Jing Yu said such a great news, there was a strange flash in Sedum Tianhao's eyes; Even Lin Feng in the corner was secretly making up his mind.
"What? The killers of the Black Evil Alliance who will be beheaded at the noon gate tomorrow and attack the palace a few nights ago are very lively now, I heard that many of the Black Evil Alliance's people are from Dongying, is it possible that our saint is killing chickens and monkeys! ”
"Brother Feng, what you said should be true, these damn Dongying people, yesterday they dared to roar at the court and ignore the Tianwei of our Dafeng, they should let them know that they know how powerful ......"
"Yes, the small Dongying Island country, vainly trying to take advantage of the war between the Mongolian Tatars and us has not stopped, they whimsically come here to show off their power and ask for a large amount of money and materials, and they should be ruthless and kill their prestige."
"Expelle the Dongying people and defend Dafeng; Those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away! ”
On the other side, next to the notice posted by the officials, the crowd of onlookers was also discussing, and I don't know if someone was secretly instigating, but later it turned into a cry of excitement from hundreds of people.
And with the passage of time, the enthusiasm of the people has not only not diminished, but has a tendency to intensify;
Looking at the wave after wave, the high-pitched shouts of those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away, Han Zhong at the window of the teahouse on the street, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but have a faint smile.
"Yaga, this matter must be related to the surname Liu, not sooner or later, but I chose to behead Aoki-kun and them tomorrow, is this to force me Tokugawa Ichiro to make a move?"
In the courtyard where the Toei mission lived, Tokugawa Ichiro, a middle-aged man with a mustache, and Akihito Hironomiya, who was fat and swollen and leaky, immediately crushed the teacup in his hand angrily after hearing what the man in black in front of him said.
"Tokugawa-kun, this is obviously a trap, you must not act rashly, and Princess Yunling is about to recruit a horse, we can't make any more extraneous branches, otherwise this trip to Dafeng will really be wasted......"
Today, he was beaten by Liu Huayun and ignored by Emperor He Yu, and Mingren Haogong, who was greatly humiliated, seemed to have grown a lot, he rubbed his fat face in pain and said so.
However, because of the lack of seven or eight teeth, this guy's speech was a little leaky, and if it weren't for the fact that the house was full of Dongying people, someone would have been amused by his funny expression and couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Yuxi, Your Royal Highness, you have grown up, I am very relieved; Don't worry, Tokugawa Ichiro is not a reckless person, and I will definitely do my best to win Princess Yunling for you, so that I can carry out the task assigned by the adults......"
Listening to Akihito's persuasion, Tokugawa Ichiro nodded, the anger in his eyes instantly disappeared a lot, and he opened his mouth to say so.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't worry, the ministers have already made the parts of the musket according to your and Lord Liu's instructions, so that the parts of the musket will be made by the division of labor, and it will definitely ensure that the craftsmanship of the musket will not be stolen by outsiders......"
Just when the people of the capital shouted slogans to drive away the Dongying people, and Tokugawa Ichiro was angry but helpless, in a hall of the Shenji Camp, Zheng Cheng, who had gone and returned, saluted He Jin with a smile.
Although the construction of muskets is on the agenda, it is necessary to prevent them from being stolen by foreigners.
Of course, most of these measures were proposed by Liu Huayun;
According to his suggestion, from now on, except for Ye Xunxi and more than 100 people under him, the craftsmen of the other Shenji Battalion will not be able to touch the complete processing and production of muskets, and they need to create different parts or bullets separately.
The musket assembled by Ye Xunxi and others also needs to be strictly coded with Arabic numerals, and in addition to teaching each other to use one for practice protection;
Every half a month, He Jin would send someone to take away the finished musket and store it in the imperial city heavily guarded by the Imperial Forest Army, and then select the young elites in the garrisons from all over the country to form a musket battalion unique to Dafeng.
In addition, during the period when the envoys of the four countries did not leave, the area of several hundred meters outside the Shenji Camp would be turned into a forbidden area, and trespassers would be killed.
"That's good, Brother Liu, let's go!"
The improved musket, He Jin has already test-fired, and he is very satisfied with the power, and now that everything has been arranged, he smiled lightly and beckoned Liu Huayun on the side to prepare to leave.
"Brother He Jin, junior brother still wants to equip my firearm with a few guns and bullets, and I will leave later, you and Brother Yuan Fang will go back first."
Liu Huayun ordered a lot of short firearms and scattered bombs from Ye Xunxi yesterday, and he wanted to stay to see how the progress was, so he said with a smile.
"Oh, in this way, this treasure is indeed a weapon for self-defense, go back and build more, get a hand for your younger siblings, and you don't have to worry about their safety."
After an unfathomable smile, He Jin beckoned Zhao Yuanfang to go to the imperial palace and return to the imperial city.
"I'll go, the prince's brother won't see my careful thoughts, he is really much wiser than the old man, I really hope that there will never be a day when we will never meet in the future."
At the gate of the Shenji Camp, watching the carriage disappear at the end of sight, Liu Huayun's heart was complicated and difficult to understand, and he was silent for a long time.
"Xianggong, big brother, shall we go home now?"
Seeing that he hadn't gotten in the car yet, Liu Ruoping, who had been letting Uncle Hua outside the Shenji Camp, couldn't help but poke her head out and ask.
"Sister Ping, you follow me to find Brother Ye, let's leave later."
Smiling, Liu Huayun beckoned to her, and then took the woman back to the Shenji camp again.
With the prince's order, at this moment, all the craftsmen in the Shenji Camp stopped their original work and began to build musket accessories.
Carpenters, skilled carpenters, quickly carve and polish the butts, some forge the barrel, others hone the hammer and trigger......
In short, with a steady stream of resources, a large number of muskets and bullets will be formed from the Shenji Camp in the future.
