No matter how worried Sun Chuanting was, Wang Xuan's decision had been made, and it was not for others to intervene.

It's just that things are not so simple, just the model of the crossbow machine must be distinguished, Wang Xuan can't put the high-power crossbow machine in the army out and sell it casually, that's not a capital enemy.

The crossbow machine that can be sold to the outside world is divided into three models, the worst is also the standard crossbow machine in the Ming Army, and the better one is the crossbow machine with steel parts, and the best is the crossbow machine that can be fired three times in a row.

Moreover, the price of this batch of crossbow machines is very expensive, the cheapest is also eighty percent of the cost in the Ming army, and the most expensive three-shot crossbow machine is three times the price.

As for the bed crossbow, the price is even more exorbitant.

For pricing, Wang Xuan also has other plans, the profits of the arms business are still extremely high, and selling them at the cost of eighty percent of the Ming army must be able to attract orders from the military, even if the imperial court prohibits it, it is useless.

After all, the cost alone can save two percent, if you do a little bit of tricks on the scrap rate, the profit can reach more than three percent, and the quality of the cut is much better than the military's own use.

The profit in this is enough to take the risk that these officials have come from afar to order, as for the ban of the imperial court or something, I believe that the money is in place, no one will care, when a system starts to rot from the top, it will no longer be controlled by anyone, even if you have the power of the world, it is useless.

As soon as this ban was opened, the sales of crossbow machines became popular, especially after the newspapers began to hype it up, and within half a month, all parts of the neighboring Jiangnan also knew the news.

The first wave of sales caused by this, even if the production was overtime in three shifts, could not meet the demand for orders, and the prices of raw materials such as animal tendon and fish gelatin rose accordingly.

The big consumers are still dominated by those maritime merchants, fifty or sixty on the big ships, even if it is a small ship, it must be equipped with one or twenty self-defense, on the vast sea, but not land, the law or anything is nonsense, the dark side of human nature is vividly revealed, as long as the opportunity is right, there will be merchant ships turning into pirates at any time, this kind of thing is Wang Xuan has nothing to do, there is a way to move people's hearts, can go to sea to run the sea, where are there any good people, as long as they are not discovered, it is a big business to grab a random one.

With these crossbow machines for self-defense, on the sea, if the interests are not too great, breaking the balance between the interests and the losses that may be caused, this kind of piracy will be much reduced.

On the other hand, these real and fake Japanese who are drifting on the sea don't know the relevant news.

"When" "When" "When", three hurried bells came from the lookout, and immediately spread throughout the whole ship, the sound of warning made all the crew members nervous, recently, everyone knew that countless Japanese robbers suddenly appeared on the sea, but they did not expect that they were also encountered today, and immediately, the ship fell into a panic.

The captain hurriedly ran out of the captain's room, looked at the messy sailors on the deck, and shouted: "Give me peace and run a fart!" ”

"Lookout, it's a wolf, how many people are there?"

The lookout had been looking at the ship on the sea with a clairvoyant mirror, and when he heard the captain's roar, he immediately replied: "The ship is not big, there are about forty people!" ”

'Whew~' The captain exhaled lightly, immediately relieved his heart, and then a wave of excitement surged in his heart, "The third one, the third one, take your people to the deck, bring all the crossbow machines you bought before departure, and have a little color with these Japanese slaves!" ”

That's called the third child when I heard it, hehe Zhile, this batch of more than 20 crossbow machines, after buying, their team is responsible for protecting the safety of the ship, and the guys who fight and kill can't put it down, and they have to take it out every day to practice and maintain their hands, and today they finally have a chance to fight, where can they not be excited.

With a shout of good, he urged the brothers to start running in the direction from which the Japanese boat had come.

The captain didn't know what he thought of again, and suddenly shouted again, "By the way, try to arrest people, I heard that the government buys a large number of pirate slaves, and one can be sold for a lot of money, it's all money!" ”

"Okay, don't worry, captain, brothers!" The third child replied, and while waiting for thirty of his men to walk out of the cabin, there was also a bed crossbow dragged behind him, although it was not as huge as the eight-bull crossbow used on the city wall, but it was relatively terrifying.

The two boats approached quickly, and the clamor of the distant Japanese boats came along the sea breeze, and they couldn't understand what was said, but looking at the pigtails, the shaved hair and the hideous face, it looked a little infiltrating.

Six hundred steps, five hundred steps, three hundred steps, as the distance approached, the third child kept letting people manipulate the ballista to aim, "Don't worry, put in a little, hit accurately, bolt the crossbow arrow with a rope, and the other party in the province has run!" ”

There are more than 20 crossbow machines in their hands, and they have tested the power of this thing, as long as they are hit, they will be seriously injured at least and killed directly at worst, so the third child is full of confidence.

By the time they reached a hundred paces or so, the Japanese had already begun to wave the hook lock in their hand, as long as they got a little closer, the hook lock was put on, then this merchant ship would not want to run away!

"Whoosh" A piercing screech sounded, "Poof! Before he could react, his body was directly shot into two pieces by a huge crossbow arrow, and half of his body was sprayed with blood rain, and most of them let out a miserable howl.

The crossbow arrows that broke the human body did not stop, and the strong power made the crossbow arrows 'boom' into the ship's plank, and the five-centimeter-thick plank was shattered at once, and the crossbow arrow was deeply stuck inside.

All the Japanese looked at the broken human body around them in horror, and looked at the merchant ship along the cable at the tail of the crossbow arrow again, and their faces changed greatly, only to see that on the deck of the merchant ship, a group of people leaned out most of their bodies, holding the crossbow machine in their hands and aiming towards this side.

At a distance of fifty paces, the two boats were facing each other, and they approached in the blink of an eye, only to hear the third son's order, "Shoot these bitches!" ”

"Whoosh" "Whoosh" "Whoosh" There was a sound of crossbow arrows breaking through the air, more than 20 crossbow arrows shot condescendingly, a group of Japanese robbers on the unobstructed deck, there was no place to dodge, such a close distance, a wave of crossbow arrows passed, and more than 30 people fell eight or nine.

When the two ships staggered by, the second wave of crossbow arrows had already been loaded, and at this moment the Japanese no longer had the idea of climbing onto the merchant ship, and desperately swung the giant axe towards the crossbow arrow nailed to the deck.

Another round of arrow rain, this time closer, was directly shot down a dozen or so, two rounds of crossbow arrows down, the pirate ship was not yet dead and the pirate ship rolled and screamed, and the deck of blood flowed everywhere.

There were only a dozen or so men left, and when they saw an axe cut off the crossbow arrow, they roared and prepared to pull the sail to escape, but at this moment, there was another boom, and again a crossbow arrow pierced deep into the side of the ship, and this time even if they wanted to, they couldn't reach it.

"Surrender or kill!"

"Surrender or kill!"

Seeing that there were only a dozen people left, and he was not afraid of any more storms and waves they would set off, the third child was directly forced to descend.

In this way, all these abound in the entire South China Sea, that is, many villages and towns along the coast, there are also crossbow machines, in the face of the invading pirates, directly kill them with crossbow machines, in just seven or eight days, those ant-like pirates will be wiped out, a small number of fleeing and receiving the news of the pirates can only slowly gather together, so that they can use overwhelming numerical superiority to face the merchant ships equipped with crossbow machines.

It's just that, in this way, although they succeeded several times, they were caught by the navy, less than half were killed, and most of them were captured, so that more than 10,000 true and false Japanese pirates were completely wiped out in just over a month.

At the same time as solving the problem of the Japanese invaders, there were also hundreds of homicides under Wang Xuan's rule, which sounded like I had heard of it, but it was not too much to disperse to the five provinces (Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Xiaoliuqiu, and Annam), at least, it was much less than Wang Xuan expected.

This at least shows that under his own rule, the class contradictions are not so deep, but the large-scale outflow of crossbow machines will inevitably spread out through various channels, and in other provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, there are successive children of large families who have been secretly shot and killed.

For a while, everyone in the Jiangnan family was in danger, especially those who like to take Hao slaves to swagger through the market on weekdays, the eldest of the sky, the second of the earth, and the third of his lords.

During this time, they were scared to stay at home honestly, and they didn't even dare to go on the street, there were so many enemies, countless, those people had nothing to do in the face of the wealthy slaves who followed the rich children all the time, but now they are different, for fear that a cold arrow will suddenly shoot out and kill him, it is a serious three-edged arrow with a blood groove barb, as long as it is stained, a large piece of meat will be removed at the lightest, and they can't stand this crime.

In fact, although the issue of the public sale of crossbow machines this time caused an uproar, and countless children of rich families cursed Wang Xuan, all the real big families in Jiangnan understood what was going on, and they were all clear about the conspiracy between the Donglin Party and the Zhejiang Party to collude with the Japanese to disrupt the South China Sea.

These people didn't expect that this cholera Wang Xuan's plan would lead Wang Xuan to directly open the crossbow machine, which was simply stealing chickens and rice, and putting everyone in danger, and those sparrow battles of the would-be robbers could only hehe, and there were sparrows everywhere......

Don't wait for Wang Xuan to come to the results, there are people in Nanjing who can't sit still, hundreds of years of family business, always have to find two back roads, seeing that the Ming Dynasty is not as good as a day, although I don't know when the big ship will sink, but it's just a matter of time or time, if you don't plan early, and regret it late when things come to the end, you can't really bury the Ming Dynasty!
