Chapter 105: Yin Jieshu's Request
"Brother Ye, brothers, everyone has worked hard......"
In the interval between Zheng Cheng's departure, Liu Huayun found Ye Xunxi and others who were assembling muskets, and told him to make a few more short muskets and bullets when he was free;
So he took twenty muskets and a few boxes of loose ammunition and left the Shenji camp and headed for the Horse Mansion.
"My lord, is this a musket?"
"Yes, this is the musket."
"My lord, is this musket powerful? How is it better than a bow and arrow? How do I use it? ”
"Hehe, you'll know in two days, as for the use, so let's show you......"
Back in the mansion, when the dozen or so carpenters and bricklayer masters who were found were busy in the martial arts arena, Liu Huayun summoned Lu Feng, Guo Jing and others.
These sons and daughters were all in contact with muskets for the first time, and they couldn't help but ask very happily, and Liu Huayun asked them to practice aiming while also taking the trouble to explain.
Although the martial arts training ground for the disciples and dead soldiers was very large, this improved musket was much stronger than the current European musket, and the firing range could easily reach 150 or even 200 meters.
lest the sons and daughters usually practice and shoot through the wall behind them and accidentally injure the family and the maid, some necessary protective measures must be prepared in advance.
For example, multi-layered wooden targets spaced one or two meters apart are used to strengthen resistance, and walls are thickened with masonry...... Wait, these preparations are down, and it will not be possible to do it without two or three days.
Therefore, Liu Huayun only asked Lu Feng, Guo Jing and others to familiarize themselves with the drill with empty guns, and did not provide guns and ammunition.
"Sir, are you looking for a guest?"
Near noon, several ladies had not come back, and Shen Lei, the doorkeeper, ran over with a strange face.
"Who's looking for me? It can't be that Korean chick......"
Instructed Lu Feng and the others to continue to take turns to master the operation of the musket, leaving this side courtyard, and on the way to the front hall, Liu Huayun glanced at the young man beside him, and asked with a smile.
"It's Miss Yin Jieshu, the little palace maid from Goryeo who has looked for you many times."
In the most months of his absence, Yin Jieshu had been to Shilang's Mansion several times, Shen Lei was a little suspicious, she had an impure relationship with her master, and when she heard the master say this, she smiled and replied truthfully.
"What kind of eyes are you kid, what can she do with me? Your master is sitting upright, and he is afraid that the ladies will not be jealous? Okay, what are you going to do......"
After smiling and scolding the young man around him, Liu Huayun stepped into the hall.
I haven't seen her for most of the month, and the Korean chick was a lot haggard, and she didn't even have the heart to touch the tea brought by Chunhua.
"Miss Xie Shu, what are you looking for me?"
Knowing that the Goryeo mission had been staying in the capital and refused to leave, there must have been something to ask Dafeng for help.
If it was a trivial matter, the old man would have agreed a long time ago, why did Yin Jieshu want to ask himself three times and twice;
Not wanting to cause unnecessary trouble, Liu Huayun smiled coquettishly, nodded at her, and asked straight to the point.
"Liu Gongzi, can you take a step to speak?"
Yin Xie Shu squeezed out a smile and got up to salute him.
"Okay, Chunhua, you go down first."
"Yes, slave and maid obey."
After Chunhua left, Liu Huayun waved his hand, "Sit down, Miss Xie Shu, if there is anything, you might as well say it directly......
"Gongzi Liu, Xie Shu is here to ask for your help this time, Dongying and Jurchen both want to invade Goryeo, and our soldiers and horses are really difficult to resist......
The Li family dynasty has always been friendly with you Dafeng for generations, but the emperor is unwilling to send troops to help, don't you want to solve the tree? As long as you are willing to help persuade the emperor and help us get through the crisis, I will obey you. ”
During these days, a large number of Dongying's ships wandered in the waters of Pusan, and sometimes had some friction with the Goryeo defenders, and the Jurchen iron cavalry in Dandong was even more ready to move;
Goryeo, who was attacked on the back of the abdomen, could easily ruin the country, and Li Chengzan met He Yu several times to ask for reinforcements, but was rejected by the old emperor who was worried about the situation in Dafeng.
In desperation, Yin Jieshu planned to sacrifice himself, but he looked for Liu Huayun several times, but he was not in Shilang's Mansion, and he finally saw him today;
After biting her lower lip and saying these words, the woman had lowered her head deeply, and there was mist in her eyes.
This chick, you think too highly of yourself, don't say that it was just a joke at the beginning, even if I really like you, I won't persuade the emperor to send troops because of a woman......
Moreover, there are only two ways to go to Goryeo now, one is to beat the Jurchens back to the hinterland and enter Goryeo from Dandong;
The other is to cross the sea, even if it starts from Yantai, the voyage of hundreds of miles is not something that Dafeng's current navy can easily do.
"Hey~~~, Miss Xie Shu, to tell you the truth, I was just joking with you at the beginning, you don't need to be like this......
As for helping? I will try my best to persuade the emperor, if the old man is determined to ignore it, I can only love and helpless. ”
While slandering in his heart, he sighed, Liu Huayun said very tactfully.
"Liu Gongzi, please, you must help us Gaoli, woo woo woo ......"
Hearing him say this, Yin Jieshu, who knew that he was innocent and carefree, felt a little lost in his heart, and then thought of the recent situation in Goryeo, and actually cried with a whimper.
I'm going~~~, the wives are coming back, this chick is crying at this time, I don't know, I still think I've done something angry? In case he was hit squarely, Lao Tzu wouldn't have jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it away.
"That, Miss Xie Shu, don't cry, Goryeo is not really hopeless......"
While slandering in his heart, Liu Huayun hurriedly said so.
"Liu Gongzi, how do you say this?"
"Miss Yin, the friction between you Goryeo and Dongying and Jurchen is not only in the last year or two, to put it mildly, they had the intention of annexing you hundreds of years ago;
But now Goryeo is not the world of the Li dynasty, you can rest assured, when the country is ruined, even the most ordinary Goryeo people will rise up to resist......"
Seeing that the little palace maid of Goryeo stopped crying, Liu Huayun smiled faintly and continued to follow the good path.
"But wouldn't most of our relatives die......
Yin Jieshu, who had just ignited hope, suddenly turned gloomy again.
Your sister, your relatives' lives are precious, and our sons and daughters of Dafeng are not so worthless.
At this moment, Liu Huayun finally understood the intention of the Goryeo mission, not that they did not have the strength to fight, but that they wanted to use Dafeng's forces to resist foreign enemies.
As the so-called lips and teeth are cold, if it is put in the heyday of Dafeng, it is not impossible to send people and horses from Dandong into Goryeo to help them stop Dongying, but now......
"Miss Xie Shu, we have an old saying in Dafeng, it is better to ask for others than for yourself;
Rather than pinning our hopes on the slim amount of foreign aid, it is better to recruit young and middle-aged people in the country to form a reserve force in which all the people are soldiers, and annihilate all the enemies who will attack in the future......"
"Liu Gongzi, what you said is not unreasonable, but Goryeo has been weak for many years after all; Dafeng has been friendly with us for generations, can you ask the emperor to lend us some cannons and muskets....."
In fact, what Yin Jieshu wanted to ask for was the process drawings for making muskets and artillery, but she also knew how important Shenwei cannons and muskets were to Dafeng, so she retreated and said so.
