That's what the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion thought, but these arquebuses were not just the soldiers who conquered the Shenji Battalion. As Yang Yiqing brought this batch of arquebuses to the border army, this batch of arquebuses also completely conquered all the border soldiers who had seen and used arquebuses.

This batch of arquebuses is much better than the previous guns, not only powerful, simple and fast to load, shoot far, can aim with both hands, but also very stable, good quality!

The Ordnance Bureau's firecrackers have always been shoddy, just make them, I don't care if you can use them, plus the inner government buckles, the craftsmen themselves can't eat enough, and the materials are also fraudulent, so it's strange to be able to make a good firecracker!

If it weren't for Zhang Zhijie taking control of the Ordnance Bureau, this situation would have intensified, even if the arquebus was introduced to the Ming Dynasty in the end, it didn't make any waves, anyway, it was made with the same virtue as the previous firecracker!

But Zhang Zhijie was personally in charge of the Ordnance Bureau, and he spent his mind on the Ordnance Bureau, which completely changed all this! Even if Zhang Zhijie supervised the construction of the original arquebus, it would be welcomed by the soldiers, not to mention that this is a new arquebus.

These two thousand arquebuses soon became the treasure of the border army, and a battle that coincided with them made this arquebus famous! Shoot far, hit accurately, powerful, reload fast, and very stable!

This arquebus quickly became popular in the border army, and the arquebus was naturally held as a treasure, and more soldiers without arquebuses were naturally very hot-eyed, and they found Yang Yiqing one after another, no other meaning, just a word, to guns, to arquebuses!

Yang Yiqing was surprised and had a headache, the surprise was that he really didn't mistake this arquebus, and the headache was that he took away these two thousand arquebuses from the capital with great difficulty, and the soldiers all came to ask for guns, where did he get them?

Yang Yiqing could only explain bitterly that this arquebus was not easy to make, and the Firearms Bureau couldn't come up with much, and there were only 2,000 in total, all of which were given to the border army.

These soldiers are not stupid, since they are from the Firearms Bureau, that is, the Firearms Bureau can make arquebuses, so please ask the court to adjust the arquebus! This court can't help but give, right? You can't let them beat the Tartars with their bare hands, right?

When Yang Yiqing heard it, he felt that it was right, which also fit his mind, and he knew that after the arquebus made meritorious contributions, he also had the idea of continuing to ask the court to adjust the arquebus. So these generals unceremoniously said, you are two thousand, he is three thousand, and he is four thousand。。。。。。

Hearing this, Yang Yiqing was already dumbfounded, and waved his hand weakly and said: "Don't bother, this adds up to 100,000 arquebuses, do you think it's possible?" ”

Then the hall began to shout, and every general began to talk about how important and dangerous the place he was guarding was, and how lacking the ordnance of the army was。。。。。

Yang Yiqing had a headache, waved his hand and said, "Okay, then report 10,000, and then divide it then!" ”

"Ten thousand? My lord, is 10,000 too little? That's not enough for the brothers! "That's right, my lord, this ten thousand is too little!"

Yang Yiqing glared and said, "You think this is the sand in Saibei, grab a handful!" The official told you that these two thousand arquebuses were only begged by the official in the capital to ask grandpa and grandmother! ”

"Why is the Firearms Bureau able to build arquebuses today? Why are arquebuses so stable? That's because now the Firearms Bureau belongs to Admiral Zhang Zhijie! ”

The surroundings are quiet, even if these soldiers are eating sand in the north, it doesn't mean that they don't know Zhang Zhijie's reputation! Zhang Zhijie has become a legend of Daming!

Yang Yiqing continued: "Therefore, whether or not to give this arquebus, and how much, is not the final say of the Ministry of War, nor the cabinet, but Admiral Zhang!" ”

"This time, these two thousand arquebuses, Admiral Zhang also understands the suffering of our border army, so he didn't even have the Shenji battalion, so he gave it to our border army first!"

"Therefore, it is hard to say how many of the 10,000 arquebuses can be reported this time!" In the end, Yang Yiqing also sighed a little, of course, for him, it is best to give arquebuses to the border army first, but for the imperial court, the palms and backs of the hands are all meat!

Moreover, for Zhang Zhijie, the Shenji Battalion can be regarded as his descendant. Before Emperor Zhengde ascended the throne, Zhang Zhijie had already taken over the Shenji Battalion, and in recent years, the Shenji Battalion had been fighting with Zhang Zhijie in the south and the north, and was born and died, how could Zhang Zhijie not take care of the Shenji Battalion?

These soldiers also thought of this, but in the end they were still very enthusiastic about the arquebus, and shouted: "Let's join the book, shall we?" The imperial court will not ignore it! ”

So a letter signed by the soldiers of the border army was quickly sent to Beijing, first in the Department of General Affairs, and then sent to the cabinet!

Yang Tinghe, the cabinet, was also very shocked after reading this letter, and it turned out that it was the officers and men of the border army who jointly requested the transfer of 10,000 arquebuses. He also remembered the last time Yang Yiqing jumped up and down in Beijing, and he also knew that in the end, it was Zhang Zhijie who gave Yang Yiqing 2,000 arquebuses and sent them away!

As for what the arquebus looks like, he didn't care about it, but he didn't expect that the arquebus played a great role in a battle when it first arrived in the border army, and was favored and sought after by the border soldiers, so there was this medal.

In the final analysis, this matter is still related to Zhang Zhijie, and it can be regarded as Zhang Zhijie's toss, so Yang Tinghe doesn't have a headache, he learns to be obedient. I saw that he directly took the pen and said: Send it to Zhang Zhijie of the Admiral Ordnance Bureau for disposal.

After the ticket was drafted, Yang Tinghe appreciated it, couldn't help but tilt it slightly, and then put down the piece and waited for it to be presented to Emperor Zhengde.

In the end, this joint letter was sent to Emperor Zhengde's imperial case, and Emperor Zhengde was reviewing the recital with a sad face, and suddenly turned to this recital, and couldn't help but be very interested. The above refers to warfare, and it is the first use of arquebuses on the battlefield.

Unexpectedly, the role of the arquebus in the end was very significant, favored by the border soldiers, and the more Emperor Zhengde looked at it, the more he liked it, this arquebus was made by him and Zhang Zhijie. Yes, Emperor Zhengde unceremoniously added himself to it.

Therefore, this arquebus was sought after by the soldiers of the border army, and he also had a glorious face, and he didn't feel anything when he saw that the soldiers of the border army jointly asked the court to transfer 10,000 arquebuses.

It is estimated that the cabinet should also agree, after all, it is a joint petition of the soldiers of the border army, and the request is not outrageous. As a result, Emperor Zhengde looked at the cabinet's vote, hey, it turned out to be "sent to Zhang Zhijie of the Admiral Ordnance Bureau for disposal".

Looking at this handwriting, it was Yang Tinghe's, and Emperor Zhengde was immediately happy, and this Yang Tinghe was sometimes quite slippery.
