"Don't dare, don't dare, Chief Qin has an order, and the last general will obey the order," Ma Debao said extremely humbly, but in his heart he was wondering, with Qin Lin's ability, and with Wei Guogong behind his back, what else in the world is difficult to defeat him, and he needs the help of the staff of the small Zhejiang army battalion?

Originally, the third-grade general was five levels older than the fifth-grade deputy Qianhu, not to mention that Qin Lin was still dismissed and retained, but in Ma Debao's mind, the other party was the real Shangguan, which was also an outlier in the Ming officialdom.

Qin Lin saw that Ma Shen was interested, so he went straight to the point and proposed to transfer Li Huowang away.

"It's just a trivial matter, why bother?" General Ma Shen stood up straight, and shouted at Li Huowang from afar: "Lao Li, come here, you have met a nobleman with good luck!" ”

Li Huowang's family of three all came over, and before Qin Lin could speak, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, in their opinion, Qin Lin was indeed a great nobleman who saved Li Huowang's life, and a great benefactor of their whole family.

Qin Lin was not busy helping, and after a few rings, he asked with a smile: "Master Li, this official wants to borrow your skill in building a shotgun, so he wants to transfer you to Jinyiwei to be a captain, I don't know if you are willing?" ”

Yes? Li Huowang, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his head and looked at Qin Lin in a daze, dumbfounded for a while, unable to believe his ears.

Hereditary military craftsmen are not even as good as ordinary soldiers, and they are inferior compared with civilian households, and the captain of Jinyi is an out-and-out pro-army of the Son of Heaven, wearing a flying fish suit and embroidered spring knives, majestic, these two are one in the sky and one on the ground, to jump from a warcraftsman to a captain in brocade, it is really a step to the sky!

Li Huowang didn't agree for a long time, and Qin Lin pretended to be surprised: "Why, Master Li is unwilling to serve in my Jinyiwei?" ”

Li Huowang's wife was anxious for him, and quickly pushed him: "The chief asked, you are silent!" ”

"Willing to be willing, the little one is willing to serve Engong!" Li Huowang, who reacted, kowtowed like pounding garlic, his mouth couldn't close with a smile, and he changed from a military craftsman to a captain in brocade, which jumped from a bitter gourd to a honey pot.

In addition to Li Huowang, Qin Lin asked Ma Debao to pick a few skilled military craftsmen for him, Ma Shen General was already guilty, and he also looked at Qin Lin and Xu Xinyi to say a few good words for him in front of Wei Guogong, and he was unwilling, anyway, the Zhejiang soldiers mainly used shotguns, and there were many skilled military craftsmen in the battalion, and it didn't matter if he transferred a few more to Qin Lin.

Qin Lin picked four skilled military craftsmen who would work for Li Huowang in peacetime, and promised to transfer them to Jinyiwei to give them a future for a wrestler, and these people were immediately overjoyed, and knelt down one by one to thank them.

Ma Debao was amused and laughed: "Good guy, it goes without saying that Chief Qin has a great future, but looking at the appearance of a few of you, getting out of the general's camp is like escaping from the wolf's den." ”

Knowing that it was the generals joking, the warcraftsmen touched their heads and grinned, smiling happily.

Qin Lin sighed in his heart when he saw it, no wonder the Ming Dynasty has the latest cutting-edge firearms technology and the most advanced new army, but decades later, when fighting with Jiannu, there are often malaise such as guns and cannons, gunpowder non-combustible, rusty armor and so on.

It's strange that the shotguns made at that time didn't explode!

Sure enough, as Zhang Juzheng said, in the early years of Wanli, the Ming Dynasty was pacified, I replied to pay tribute, and the rebellion of the servants who had plagued the southwest region for hundreds of years was also flattened in one fell swoop.

If it can be corrected drastically, it can still open the prosperous era of China again, if it is delayed and appeased because the current situation is still passable, then it will be said that the complete erosion in a few decades will be the reincarnation of Zhuge and the resurrection of Zhou Gong, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to turn the tide...... Reform is indeed imperative.

"That's why Zhang Juzheng is so eager and unscrupulous!" Qin Lin touched his chin and smiled bitterly, although he did not agree with Zhang Juzheng's various specific methods, he also empathized with his eagerness to implement the new policy.

Fortunately, there are not many words left for Zhang Juzheng, but I still have a long time, decades, and I can do a lot of things...... "Let's go!" Qin Lin laughed and grabbed Xu Xinyi's arm, pulled her and walked towards the place where the horse was tied to the side of the martial arts arena.

Xu Xinyi blinked in confusion, "Where are you going?" ”

"Your home!" Qin Lin replied crisply.

Miss Xu suddenly was secretly happy in her heart, as sweet as drinking honey, and her honey-colored face was also a little red: "What are you doing, pulling and pulling......"

Chief Qin, who was puzzled, turned around and smiled: "Please let Zunbao hold it up!" ”

Xu Xinyi's round apricot eyes immediately narrowed, and she bit her little tiger teeth fiercely, for some reason, she suddenly wanted to bite this guy to death, bite to death, ahh ——

The dust settled on the explosion of the gunpowder depot in the Zhejiang Bing camp, and it was found that the White Lotus Sect wanted to obtain shotgun manufacturing technology, killed innocent passers-by to replace the warcraftsman Li Huowang, and detonated the gunpowder depot to cause the case.

Huang put the general manager and Diao junior brother into the prison to be punished, and the stand-in who was killed by them in the powder magazine was a fisherman in Jiangpu County on the other side of the Yangtze River.

Xu Bangrui, the Duke of Wei, did not shirk it, and immediately gave Qin Lin a baoju recital, and replaced the deputy Qianhu Kai from the five grades with the respect of the Duke of Guo, which was a sure thing.

Qin Lin himself didn't feel anything, but all the brothers under his hands rejoiced, Lu Fatzi didn't care about these, and the wandering crutch even said when he met people, boasting about how good his vision was, and how good he was with this chief.

Nanjing to Yanjing Wenmu came and went, and there were various yamen in the middle to go through the procedures, even if everything went well, it would be a month before the Ministry of War issued a ministry photo to open the reinstatement officer, and Qin Lin was not in a hurry.

Qing Dai's female medical hall has done basic medical training for ten Yangzhou thin horses, and all affairs are almost ready, and it will open soon.

Qin Lin was busy doing something that had been interrupted by the explosion of the powder magazine: trial production of a new musket suitable for the use of Jinyiwei.

He set up another courtyard next to the pencil workshop, and moved the blacksmith's stove, anvil, cowhide bellows and other things into it, and the five craftsmen led by Li Huowang also moved in, and when everything was cleaned up, Qin Lin and Bi Maokang arrived together.

Blue brick walls, old gray tiles, rain-mottled traces on the walls, and the steps were trampled on a little collapsed - who would have thought that such an inconspicuous courtyard would be the predecessor of the Jinling Arsenal, which later shocked the world?
