The artillery workshop that exploded was newly established by the Guangzhou government, and in the last battle, the officials and soldiers suffered too much from the artillery. Although the nonsense of ten miles of erosion in one shot cannot really be taken to heart, this kind of suppression of firepower is indeed the main reason for the defeat of the official army. After all, most of the officers and soldiers were fishing boats, and there was no firepower that could hurt the Franc ship, and if one shot was fired, the hull would be seriously damaged.

Later, the government recruited a few craftsmen from the Buddha machine, they followed the Buddha to make weapons, knew how to make Yi cannons, and also knew about Yi boats, Wang Feng relied on these craftsmen very much, specially raised funds to make weapons, and personally went up to learn. In the entire officialdom environment of Daming, such an official is definitely an outlier, and when several colleagues mention him, their tones will inevitably carry a little contempt and ridicule.

"After all, fighting a war is beating people, and blindly relying on equipment will not become a big atmosphere. The last defeat was obviously due to the refusal of the three armies to use their lives, and the improper command of the generals, all of which were blamed on the equipment, and this battle was still bad. Wu Tingju seems to have a lot of opinions about Wang Hong, and he hurried to say bad things about him

"In order to make this artillery and artillery, I spent a lot of money not to mention, and I didn't see any results, this time the artillery workshop was blown up, and there was no account, but I was not afraid of people checking. With so much silver, leave it and give it to the wolf soldiers, and they may go straight to the island. Brother Cheng Zhai, as a platform, should be in charge of the punishment and clean up the unjust prison. As a result, he was either busy with military equipment or making weapons, and if he didn't know, he thought he was still patrolling the sea road. ”

Guangzhou's military affairs, logically speaking, are indeed under the control of the Patrol Seaway. However, the patrol is only a dispatch, not the official, and the people who serve as the patrol are all from the yamen of the inspection department, and the boss of his own family came out and said that he wanted to arrest this case, and who would dare to let go of the subordinates below. However, Wu Tingju seems to have a great opinion of Wang Hong's behavior of overstepping his bounds, and what he said is indeed fatal.

Making guns is not a money-saving thing, from preparing raw materials to making samples, silver is spent like running water. When the workshop was blown up when Qin sent to inspect, it could almost be seen as a fire dragon burning warehouse, even if it was fine, it was easy to make people feel that something was wrong. Yang Chengzu couldn't determine whether Wang Feng was loyal or treacherous, but he was quite interested in him personally making weapons with craftsmen.

When he was training the new army before, he also made bird guns, including later building big ships and imitating foreign cannons, but he always allocated money, and he didn't care who did it. Like what kind of development of science and technology tree farming, the first is not the ability, the second is not the interest.

For something like Wang Hong's in-depth front-line, he will definitely feel out of place, and there are no beauties among the craftsmen, what's the point? But he also has to admit that it is indeed rare for an official to do things so seriously in the Ming Dynasty. Thinking of him as a platform, he took the initiative to lead the troops to suppress the thieves, and he had some ideas about such an official who was looking for something to do on his own.

Wang Feng himself was rescued by his subordinates when the workshop exploded, and he was only slightly injured, and there was no major obstacle. After all, he had to take medicine to regulate, and he didn't have time to visit the Qincha, so he had nothing to do with the reception. Zhang Cheng was very supportive of Wang Hong, and tried his best to say good things for him during the banquet, saying that the defeat last time was not Wang Hong's responsibility, and if he wanted to be held accountable, it was also his own fault. The manufacture of guns was also agreed by himself, and with Wang Chengzhai's personality, it was impossible to be greedy for those money.

Shen Xiyi took advantage of the toast, first pleaded guilty to Yang Chengzu, and then took the initiative to say: "Cen Meng has always been rebellious, and the court really has to be wary of him early, lest he really have any accidents in the future, but he is in a hurry." He fought recklessly in Tianzhou, and also sheltered many Jiangyang thieves, and attacked the surrounding Sicheng, Longzhou, and Zhen'an, which made a lot of trouble. According to the foolish opinion of the general, this person may be a disaster in Guangxi after a long time. ”

Yang Chengzu looked at Shen Xiyi, thinking that this general was on the side of Tusi, but he didn't expect to turn around and tell himself about Tusi during the banquet, this kind of behavior is quite interesting.

"Shen Tongzhi, since you also don't like Cen Meng, why don't you let this official kill him just now?"

"The last general and Cen Meng have no personal enmity, speaking of which, there is still some friendship, we are sworn brothers, and we have changed the stickers. In Guangxi, there are no more poor mountains and bad waters, 100,000 mountains, and if you want to have a good relationship with these Tusi, you must sing their songs and tune them. The last general said these things for the public, not for the private. It is to be prepared by the imperial court, not to deal with a certain toast. If Qin Cha kills him on the grounds that he doesn't kneel, then all the Tusi in Guangxi will not be convinced. Because every Tusi would not kneel when he saw the imperial court, even if he was forced to kneel, they were not convinced. Killing him on this charge today will make all the toasts turn their hearts towards the Cen clan and be detrimental to the imperial court. It's better to let him pass, reflect the kindness of the court, and compete with the Cen family for the hearts of the people. Most of the toasts are still loyal to the imperial court, as long as we find evidence of his rebellion and arrest him, those toasts will not only not help Cen Meng, but will come to help us. ”

Wu Tingju suddenly coughed a few times, "Shen Tongzhi, don't go over and talk to Qincha, if you have something to say, it's better for everyone to hear it." Today is to wash the dust of the Qin mission, a matter of official business, and it is not too late to get started when you turn around. Now, if we spread the word, we think that we are giving and receiving privately, and who are we calculating? ”

Everyone laughed loudly, Shen Xiyi, as a military general borrowed from Guangxi, obviously did not dare to fight with Fang Bojie in this province, and drank a few glasses of wine with a smile. Zhang Cheng didn't see all this, and what he said to Yang Chengzu was a matter of peace and victory, but it was indeed not involved in official business.

When the banquet was over, Yang Chengzu returned to his mansion, and Ma's face, which had always been cold-faced, was rarely full of smiles, ignoring the eyes of Mi Niang and others, and leaning on Yang Chengzu's arms, "Chengzu, what you said to that toast today, my heart is really ...... I'm really happy. Even if I am broken for you, I am willing. ”

She was given away by her husband once, and she was most concerned about such things, as for whether Yang Chengzu dared to give away a woman from the leopard room as a concubine, she couldn't imagine it. only thought that Yang Chengzu was willing to offend anyone for her, so no matter how reserved or decent, she took the initiative to hug him and pull him to his bedroom.

Qingqing was pregnant again, and she vomited all the way, so she had to say nothing about the intimacy between the two, and her mother whispered something to Tie Sango, who couldn't help shaking her head with a red face, and then nodded again.

The two didn't take a few steps, Leng Feishuang walked in from the outside, looking at the intimacy between the two, she also had a strange smile on her face, and said softly: "Wu Fangbo came to visit Qincha, do you want him to wait for an hour, or send him back first?" ”

"Don't make trouble, Wu Fangbo must be looking for me to find something, so naturally I have to go and see him." Ma Shi also nodded obediently, and took the initiative to let go of his hand, "Chengzu is going to do big things, I won't stop you, I will leave the door for you tonight, no matter how late, I will wait." ”

Iron Coral looked at Ma pitifully, as if he wanted to remind him that tonight was his day, Yang Chengzu had already nodded in agreement, and as Leng Feishuang went out, Ma's side smiled proudly at Iron Coral, pointed to his face and chest, and pointed at her again, snorted lightly, and returned to the room with a relaxed step.

In the living room, Wu Tingju changed into a Confucian scarf and dressed like an old pedant, and when he saw Yang Chengzu coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute. "Chin has come all the way to help us fight pirates, and if it is just a banquet, it will be too lazy. It is good for Zhang Junmen to be an official, and in terms of hospitality, it is inevitable that he is too unkind, so he will do his best to be a landlord by the old man. ”

After the two sat down, Wu Tingju quickly cut to the chase, he changed into people's clothes to meet Yang Chengzu, just to catch him up and wash the dust, and take him to go shopping, the Qing Mansion in Guangzhou.
