Liu Daxia, a scholar in the eighth year of Tianshun, is now nearly seventy years old, has been a magistrate, suppressed rebellions, governed the Yellow River, and suffered from the court staff. The world will call him, Wang Shu and Ma Wensheng the "Three Gentlemen of Hongzhi".

In this era when everyone claims to be a gentleman, being able to be called a gentleman by the world shows how ...... he is Stinky and hard?

To be honest, although Qin Kan often calls himself a gentleman, he doesn't like to associate with real gentlemen, and the so-called gentlemen have gradually changed their taste. This kind of person is stubborn, conservative, strong-tempered, and fights when he disagrees, and like al-Qaeda members in his previous life, he is a ruthless character who is willing to take his life.

Liu Daxia stroked his beard, his eyes were indifferent, and he said expressionlessly: "What does the Marquis of Shanyin mean, mass production of the Franco cannon?" ”

Qin Kan smiled: "Exactly." ”

Liu Daxia snorted coldly: "The Marquis of Shanyin is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, the Gong guards the Forbidden Palace, it is your duty to hunt down thieves and punish the culprits, and the mass production of artillery seems to be the duty of the Ministry of War, right?" ”

"So the lower officials came to plead with the boss, maybe the boss still doesn't know the advantages of the Franco artillery, if you equip my Ming border army, no matter what strong enemy you encounter in the future, the role of artillery on the battlefield will be beyond imagination......"

Liu Daxia smiled: "But after experiencing the war, the Marquis of Shanyin is quite confident when he talks about the war, and even the old man, the secretary of the military department, has to listen to your big words?" ”

The mocking words, coupled with the sneering expression, made Qin Kan's hands hidden in his sleeves ready to move, and he wanted to slap them.

Take a deep breath. Qin Kan decided to endure it.

"Boss, it is precisely because the lower official has personally participated in the war, so he knows a lot about the Fran machine gun, this kind of artillery is powerful, the range is long, much stronger than my Ming artillery, the lower official has to ask, why is the boss opposed to mass production?"

Qin Kan's tolerant attitude finally made Liu Daxia eliminate his mocking expression, after all, he was a gentleman recognized by the world, no matter how hostile he was to Qin Kan in his heart. Others treat each other politely, but he speaks disrespectfully. It is not the way of a gentleman.

So Liu Daxia's tone became calm: "Does the Marquis of Shanyin know how long is my Ming border?" ”

"The Ming Dynasty has a vast territory, and the national border is thousands of miles."

"Do you know how much my Ming treasury earns? What is the annual output of each subway mine? ”

Qin Kan understood what Liu Daxia meant, and said in a low voice: "Boss, it's hard to do anything. You can't do it. This move has worked for a long time. ”

Liu Daxia shook his head and said, "The old man only sees the people in the world turn into molten iron. Cast into this useless cold iron cannon, in the seventeenth year of Hongzhi, the old man knew the advantages of this Franco cannon. It's really a little stronger than my Ming artillery, but it's only a little, just because of this little merit, I want to replace my Ming artillery in an all-round way, can the treasury agree? Even if the treasury can agree, can the old man's conscience agree? The taxes of the world should be used by the people of the world, not to cast this cold thing, which is in vain to consume the people's fat. ”

"The lower officials dare not agree with the boss's argument, if you want to strengthen the country, you must first strengthen the army, this is the order of priority, the country is strong and the army is weak, and it will eventually be coveted by foreign enemies, wolves devour tigers, what will the tiger do? The Tartars outside the border invaded the territory every year, burning, killing and looting, all because of the weakness of our Ming Guard, and the tactical tactics were flawed. ”

Liu Daxia couldn't help but show a mocking expression again, and then regained his peace, and it could be seen that he was also struggling to endure the courtier in front of him, who seemed to him to be unbelievable.

"Another tactic? I don't know what the Marquis of Shanyin has to say? ”

"The Tartars rely on only the cavalry, the cavalry comes and goes like the wind, the so-called soldiers are fast, the two armies are opposed, the cavalry assembles into a formation to launch a charge and is indestructible, and the so-called heavy sword has no edge. This is the biggest reason why Genghis Khan swept the world, and my Ming border army since Yongle, rarely take the initiative to attack the grassland desert, militarily has been to take a stubborn position, especially after the change of civil engineering, the Tartars often resist the infantry when they commit the border, resist the horse shield first, the spear is behind, the consistent method of battle is to first use the shield to resist the cavalry archery and the first round of cavalry charge, and then try to get close to the cavalry battle formation of the Tartars, the two sides are mixed up so that the enemy can not play the strengths of the cavalry charge, but in this way, The casualties of our Ming soldiers were too great, and the victory was also a tragic victory, and almost both were injured. ”

There are also some things that Qin Kan can't bear to say, now the military system of the Daming Guard is erosive, the generals are corrupt, the sergeants are sparing their lives, and there are often many people who flee when they encounter the Tartars, not to mention the tactical tactics, it is a great luck to be willing to fight with them.

After all, it is the book of the Ministry of War, and Liu Daxia still agrees with Qin Kan's analysis.

"According to the opinion of the Marquis of Shanyin, how should we deal with it?"

"First, the development of horse politics, this trilateral general system Yang Yiqing has done a very good job, just wait for time, I will have a good horse and ten thousand horses to build cavalry, with a year or two of training, in the coming day and the Tartars to fight, the odds of victory have greatly increased. Second, the development of firearms. The elder of my Ming Dynasty is only a firearm, and the combination of firearms and cavalry is the way to win. For example, if this Franco artillery, when fighting with the Tartar Plain, dozens or even hundreds of guns, the land of two miles will begin to be overwhelmingly covered by artillery fire, divided into three or even four sections of the rotation to fill the charge and fire the cannon, so that the two sides have not yet fought and the Tartar cavalry will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, the morale of the other side has been lost, the courage has been cold, why should our border army be overwhelmed? If I improve my Ming bird's gun to make it twice or even twice as fast as it fires, the Bureau will create a batch of simple mines and grenades, ......"

Liu Daxia suddenly interrupted Qin Kan's words, and Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed a few times: "Speaking of which, it is still for this Franco machine artillery, it is difficult to spend a lot of words for the Marquis of Shanyin." ”

As soon as Qin Kan, who was talking eloquently, heard Liu Daxia's tone, his face suddenly turned a little cold.

"Lord Shangshu thinks it's ridiculous?"

"The heart of serving the country is commendable, but nothing can be done." Liu Daxia shook his head slowly: "If the Ming treasury is exhausted for this inexplicable exotic artillery, won't Liu become a sinner of the Ming Dynasty?" Firearms and other things, but strange and ingenious skills, in the past battles, are mainly swords and guns, firearms as a supplement, there is no precedent for firearms to dominate the war, the Marquis of San'in this remark is shocking. Never do it. ”

Qin Kan took a deep breath, and his face gradually turned blue.

I understand, what I said just now is playing the piano to the cow, people like Liu Daxia will never understand that the development of cold weapons to the era of hot weapons is an inevitable trend of history, not only him, maybe no one in the whole world understands this now.

After a moment of silence, Qin Kan suddenly smiled, and arched his hand towards Liu Daxia: "Xiaguan Meng Lang, don't blame you for losing your words." Lord Liu. Leave. ”

****************************************************************

Walking out of the gate of the military headquarters, Qin Kan's face was covered with frost, and his eyes were gloomy and terrifying.

Liu Daxia is a good man and a gentleman. It is an old minister of the Four Dynasties. It is a highly respected Yuanju. Everything is good, it doesn't matter, it matters. He is now blocking Qin Kan's way.

Qin Kan has never had a very clear distinction between right and wrong, good and evil, no matter whether good or evil, loyal and traitorous, whoever gets in the way will kick him away, and Shangshu is no exception.

is seventy years old, and it is time to return to his hometown, occupying the position of the secretary of the Ministry of War, misleading the country and the people, and then looking at Liu Jian Xie Qian, who bravely retreated from the torrent, is he ashamed?

The moment he left the yamen of the military department, Qin Kan had secretly decided in his heart to remove Liu Daxia from power.

has nothing to do with personal grudges, in fact, Qin Kan still has a lot of respect for Liu Daxia, a group of Hongzhi old ministers. It's just that when these people became the roadblocks to the realization of his ideals and the stumbling blocks to the development of the Ming Dynasty, they had no choice but to ask them to return to their hometowns. These people don't leave the court, and Qin Kan's voice is difficult for people in the world to stop and listen.

"Excluding dissidents" is not necessarily a derogatory term, some people don't kick him out, things can't be done, they are destined to be eliminated, and it is not Qin Kan who will eliminate them, but the big waves of the times.

Of course, the dignified military department Shangshu does not say that it can be brought down if it is overthrown, although Qin Kan is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he cannot casually order Liu Daxia to be taken to prison, Liu Jin may dare to do this, but Qin Kan does not dare.

…………

…………

I came home with a stomach full of anger, but I saw Ding Shun, Li Er and a large group of guards waiting for him at the door of the house, and everyone gathered in a circle under the stone lion in front of the gate and shouted, and Tana was playing with them.

This Mongolian girl has been not dealing with Du Yan since she lived in the Qin Mansion, but she has become a rough man with Ding Shun, in view of the kindness of Tana who led the troops to save them, Ding Shun also took great care of Tana, and the guards danced knives and guns or gathered to gamble on weekdays, and did not forget to call her together, the environment of the Beijing division is too strange to Tana, and the identity is not embarrassing, Tana can only find a little happiness when practicing martial arts or playing money with them.

Qin Kan looked at Tana's pretty face from afar, which was red with excitement, and exhaled softly.

In the future, let's be kind to this girl, marry or not marry and don't talk about it, at least her heart is pure, and now she has no relatives in Beijing, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, how miserable she is in her heart is probably only known to herself.

Quietly stepped forward and leaned over to take a look, everyone was really gambling, and they were gambling very big, gambling very devotedly, and no one noticed that Qin Kan was coming quietly.

After staring at it for a long time, Qin Kan, who had just been in a calm state, understood everyone's gambling methods, and suddenly became furious, and raised his foot to kick Ding Shun, who was sitting in the village, to roll forward a few times.

"A bunch of bastards! Who told you to bet on this? ”

When the elated people saw Qin Kan, their faces were like earth, and their sweat was like rain.

Qin Kan was like a tiger entering the flock, kicking them one by one, scolding while kicking.

"Bastard thing, the child in my mother-in-law's womb dares to gamble whether it is male or female, it's boring, isn't it? is so idle, do you want Ben Hou to follow the example of Grandpa Liu, and get a few pairs of 150-pound flails for you to wear for a few days? ”

Ding Shun squatted on the ground with his head covered, and didn't dare to fight back, and justified while screaming: "Master Hou spares his life, don't dare anymore!" Hou Ye, Hou Ye is angry, and his subordinates are also kind......"

Qin Kan became more and more furious: "Goodwill? Do you dare to say that you are well-intentioned? ”

Pointing to the middle of the words men and women on the gambling plate on the ground, Qin Kan roared angrily: "It's just a matter of betting on men and women, who wrote the word 'egg' in the middle?" …… Well? There is still someone who bet five taels of silver on it, who is it? ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a whoosh, and Tana, dressed in red, ran away, her body turned into a cloud of red smoke, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
