After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Wang Pu came to Yue Yang and said with a smile: "Yue Garrison, your drill in response to the Zhou Army is indeed an eye-opener for us." To be honest, the brothers were still a little suspicious of your more than 2,000 fighters, but now all that's left is admiration. After speaking, Wang Pu stretched out his thumb and shook it at Yue Yang.

Yue Yang smiled slightly, he was not stunned by Wang Pu's high hat. He smiled slightly and said: "General Wang has won the award, and the last general has just done his duty, so he deserves your praise." ”

"Alas...... You are too modest, you have cut more than 2,000 ah, this battle feats are amazing. Wang Pu praised it for a while, and then he changed his mind and asked: "Yue Garrison, brother, let me ask you, I don't know if there is any surplus of those firearms equipped by your Yingzhou army, can you sell some to us?" ”

As soon as Wang Pu's words fell, Yue Yang noticed that the originally noisy voices on the table had quieted down, and the eyes of several generals around him were fixed on him.

Regarding Wang Pu's question, Yue Yang had already prepared in his heart, and this opening must not be opened. Yue Yang shook his head and said with a resolute expression: "General Wang, it's not the last general to refute your face. Let me tell you this, we can't make the barrels of these guns now, we have to rely on those Franc machine people to transport them from overseas, not to mention the long distance along the way, the price is still frighteningly expensive, a barrel costs a hundred taels of silver, plus the processing fee or something, a gun gun can't be taken down without one hundred and twenty taels of silver, do you really plan to buy it? ”

"Hiss...... One hundred and twenty taels! ”

The people around were stunned, Nima's, is this fire gun made of gold, why is it so expensive.

Wang Pu also counted with his fingers, one hundred and twenty taels of firearms, and one thousand guns would cost 100,000 taels of silver, if all his soldiers were replaced with this kind of firearms, it would not be hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, Nima's, I really can't afford it.

In fact, it's not just Wang Pu. Even the surrounding Xuan generals frowned. These people are not stupid, they have all seen the power of those firearms today, the killing distance of two hundred steps is really terrifying, they don't say they have seen it on weekdays, they have never even heard of it. They liked such a good thing at a glance, so they instigated Wang Pu to come over to find out, but now everyone was stupid when they heard it. "Nima's. A firearm costs 120 taels of silver, and they can't equip a few even if they smash pots and sell iron! ”

At this time, a general sitting opposite Wang Pu frowned and asked, "Yue Shoubei, don't lie in front of real people, are these firecrackers really so expensive?" ”

The general who spoke was nearly fifty years old and not tall. But it is extremely strong, with a rough black face, full of wind and frost, and his eyes are sharp when he speaks, quite powerful, and he has the image of a standard soldier.

Yue Yang thought for a while before he recognized it, this general was the governor of the department and the chief soldier of Shanxi Town, Hu Dawei. Yue Yang also had a slight impression of him, this person was born as a soldier outside the Saiwai, known in history as a brave and strategic general, from a tired officer to a general in Shanxi, a deputy general, and a general officer, and finally died in the battle with the peasant army.

Just when Yue Yang was groaning, Yang Guozhu, the chief soldier of Xuanda on the side, saw that Yue Yang was silent. Thinking that Yue Yang was unhappy in his heart, he said on the side: "Yue is not strange, Chief Tiger is this straight temper, not to question you specifically. ”

Yue Yang nodded: "General Yang misunderstood, the last general didn't mean that." However, the last general did not lie just now, although this kind of firearm is powerful, it is indeed expensive and abnormal. The last general also threw almost all the silver that he had been trading for more than a year into it, and this was the only way to make up these things, and these firearms were still unusually delicate, and those rifles would be smoothed out after a year or two of use. At that time, it will have to be replaced with a new one, and it will be said that by the last general. But the last general thinks that in fact, my Ming firearms are still good, such as bird guns, Lu Mi guns, and three-eyed guns are all very easy to use, why don't you like to use firearms? ”

After listening to Yue Yang's words, Yang Guozhu and the rest of the generals glanced at each other and said with a wry smile: "Yue Shoubei doesn't know, my Ming firearms are good, but what are the firearms like now?" If we make our own firearms, it is better, if it is a firearm made by the Ministry of Industry, we don't dare to use it at all, a newly made firearm as long as three shots in a row may explode, do you think we dare to use this kind of firearm to kill the enemy? It's that the soldiers would rather fight with broadswords, spears, and tartars than use firearms! ”

"Is that so?"

Yue Yang was stunned for a moment, he had only heard that the government was corrupt at the end of the Ming Dynasty, but he didn't expect that even the firearms used to kill the enemy for the soldiers were all rotten, so how could the soldiers still believe in the imperial court.

"Lord Yang, since the firearms in the imperial court are all rotten, why don't you build them yourself?"

"Build it yourself?" Yang Guozhu smiled bitterly: "To build firearms, you have to have skilled craftsmen, right?" Gotta have silver, right? You have to have pig iron, right? But how much money can be allocated by the imperial court every year, at most, so that we will not starve to death, but if we want to build firearms, we don't even think about it. ”

"That's it!" Yue Yang's heart was a little sour when he heard this, and he said without thinking: "That's it, that kind of Mini-style firearm is too expensive, and the general really can't accommodate you." However, it is still possible to build some old-fashioned firecrackers here, as you can see, the firecrackers held by the general's soldiers are all flint structures, and there is no need for fireropes, which saves a lot of trouble. And these firecrackers also try to pass early, too far away to say, but they can still kill people within seventy steps, if they face armor-clad tartars, they can shoot through their two layers of cotton armor within forty steps, and this firecracker is also of good quality, light yì will not blow up the chamber, if you are interested, the brothers have sold you a batch at the price of twenty taels of silver each? ”

"Twenty taels of silver?"

The generals were moved when they heard it, they are all experts, such a price is definitely a conscience price, and the cost of a firearm is so much, it seems that this Yueyang is really righteous.

"Yue Shoubei, can this kind of firearm of yours guarantee that it will not explode?" Hu Dawei on the side also looked at Yue Yang with a blazing gaze.

"Absolutely not!" Yue Yang slapped his chest with a bang, "If the tiger chief soldier is not at ease, you can inspect the goods in advance, and we will trade after you have finished inspecting, so you should rest assured, right?" ”

"Hmm...... If that's the case, I can order a thousand from you right now. Hu Dawei slapped the board on the spot.

"I carry 2,000 ......"

"I also ordered 2,000 ......"

"I order a thousand ......"

The generals immediately placed orders on the wine table, these people are not stupid, they all know that people like Yue Yang, who have a big family, will not ruin their own signboards, if he dares to do anything on these firearms, it will offend all the generals of Xuanda, this kind of thing will not be done by a person with a normal IQ.

Yue Yang and everyone didn't expect that just having a meal would turn into an order meeting. Just when Yueyang and the generals of Xuanzhen started to buy and sell arms, Lu Xiangsheng was also talking about Yueyang with Xu Dingchen and Chen Xinjia.

Lu Xiangsheng drank a few glasses of wine, his originally fair face became a lot redder, he turned his head to Xu Dingchen and said: "Lord Xu, this official sees that Yueyang will not only be able to Tuntian, but also train soldiers and fight, he is really a rare talent, this official intends to change his place to exhibit, I don't know what you think?" ”

What is Xu Dingchen, who is the governor of a province, as soon as Lu Xiangsheng's words came out, his face showed a look of vigilance, "Oh? Changing places? I don't know where Lord Lu wants Zhenghong to work? ”

Not only Xu Dingchen, but Chen Xinjia and the surrounding officials also looked at Lu Xiangsheng. They all know that Yueyang was picked up by Xu Dingchen, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Xu Dingchen's henchmen are going to do it, and now Lu Xiangsheng suddenly proposed to transfer Yueyang away, which is no less than cutting off one of Xu Dingchen's arms, no wonder Xu Dingchen's face is so ugly.
