Chapter Twenty-Four: The New Rifle Has Been Made

The apparent peace did not lead to peace in the end, and the various contradictions that were constantly stirring up within Manchuria made Huang Taiji unable to hold back.

"Father Khan, do you really want to knock directly this time? Erchen was still a little worried. ”

After Haoge returned from Ningyuan Pass to join Huang Taiji outside Guanning City, he explained in detail that Bi Ziyin was willing to take refuge in the Qing Dynasty, and he was ready to expose the grain and grass sent to Guanning to the Qing Dynasty.

To put it bluntly, this exposure was given to the Manchurians for nothing, and it was dangerous for Bi Zisu to lose the other.

"Order to go down and order all flags, step up armaments, and attack Guanning in three days!"

Huang Taiji knew that only by trying his best to grab more chips for himself could he have more opportunities to negotiate with Emperor Nanming.

The affairs in Manchuria are already in a state of anxiety to him, and the Mongols are still unwilling to submit, and even the Koreans on the Goguryeo side are unwilling to submit to Manchuria.

The Joseon king was still in contact with the Ming Dynasty to ask for help.

The situation was already very tense under the influence of Huang Taiji.

Guanning Pass.

The secret letter sent to Shuntianfu for 800 miles was already on the way, but Bi Zisu was still not at ease, he was worried that the officials and masters above the high hall in the capital would not pay attention to Liaodong.

It's just that after Bi Zisu came to Liaodong, although Yuan Chonghuan was still in the rear, the degree of freedom was still very high.

Zhu Youzhen gave a trust that is difficult for ordinary people to have, after all, Emperor Chongzhen in his previous life can be described as a military bullshit, professional and good at micro-manipulation, but he has to do everything but make a mess.

Although later generations always said that his cultural and martial arts were quite attained, but the country lost it, and said that these later words were just the later Hanchen to try his best to paste gold.

The Manchurians who took over the country and gave it gold just to show that they came from the right way, which was the destiny of heaven.

"Right now, Guan Ning, there are still a lot of problems."

Bi Zisu looked at the Manchu troops stationed in the distance constantly like a boiling hot pot, and he felt uncomfortable.

And in Shuntian Mansion, after receiving the second urgent report from Bi Zisu asking for help, he acted quickly.

"Wang Gongchang secretly reported that 1,000 new rifles have been produced, and gun tests are being organized intensively, and the daily output can reach 500."

After Wang Chengen came to report, Zhu Youzhen seemed to have a boulder in his heart, for the research and development of Wang Gong's Mine rifle, it can be said that the entire Beijing Division as long as the officials of the relevant departments are trying their best to match resources, for fear of slowing down the progress.

The craftsmen who had defected to the various mansions were also recruited for various reasons.

What? You don't want to come back?

It depends on whether the official who originally took you in now dares to keep you, if you don't want to be unlucky, Dongchang will come to the door to collect people in person.

It's better to be obedient.

As the saying goes, those who know the times are junjie, and in the face of this matter, everyone's butt still unanimously chose the most suitable bench.

Originally, a large number of craftsmen from the Wang Gong factory returned, coupled with the transfer of manpower from the famous iron workshop in the south of the Yangtze River, and the skilled craftsmen were constantly stuffed into the Wang Gong factory from the border of the military department.

Let the progress of research and development continue to improve, and professional firearms manufacturing machinery also continues to improve the progress, Zhu Youzhen knows that now the daily output of 500, after which the machinery continues to be produced, more and more craftsmen.

It is not difficult to equip the entire Heavenly Tiger Army.

"Ordered Wang Gongchang to organize production tests while directly starting to send them to the Tianhu Army for actual combat tests, and now that Liaodong is in crisis, I don't have so much time for them."

"The slave obeys."

"In addition, tell Wei Zhongxian that he must do a good job of guarding the firearms escort, and if a gun is leaked! I dare to ask for his head! ”

The Minne rifle is a big killer, although I know that with the current backward manufacturing level of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is still difficult to compete with such an industrial production of the Ming Dynasty.

But in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it is still important to maintain strict confidentiality.

After Wang Chengen received the order, he went to inform Wei Zhongxian.

I have to say that sometimes Zhu Youzhen is sighing that if he comes later and lets Wei Zhongxian die of depression, he is afraid that he will be angry to death by these Donglin parties.

At this point, even if there are all kinds of books in the system or the vision of later generations, they can't make up for their lack of experience in the court dispute.

Within the Beijing Division, the exhibition was officially opened, and the merchants gathered in the capital from all walks of life were also unceremoniously, and a lot of silver was thrown out in exchange for some treasures that can be cherished now.

Antiques, literary toys, calligraphy and paintings are dazzling; Land, homes, and industries make people's blood rush.

Even the shadow of the Japanese merchant group can be seen in the capital, and the golden retriever's Dongban merchant group also appeared.

It's just that the appearance of these outsiders made many businessmen in the capital extremely angry, just because they were too generous.

"A set of large cans of Yuan blue and white winter melon! The starting price is 3,000 taels of silver! ”

"I'll give you three thousand two hundred taels!"

"I'll give you three thousand five hundred taels!"

In the huge auction hall, there are already too many merchants gathered here, and there is a feeling of selling vegetables, but the price can be described as shocking.

"The English Romance caravan bid six thousand taels!"

"Wow!"

The eyes of the audience were firmly fixed on the red-haired fan where the voice came.

"The Dutch East India Company bid eight thousand taels!"

"Wow!"

The audience was stunned again, but they didn't know that this was far from the psychological price of these red-haired merchants.

At this moment, the last thing that Europe lacked was silver, which brought countless resources to foreign colonization, and countries such as England, the Netherlands, and Spain also made a lot of money from it.

Originally, cherished porcelain such as Yuan Qinghua was completely out of reach of merchants like them, and at most they bought some porcelain produced by private kilns from the southeast coast.

"English Romance caravan, bid 10,000 taels!"

"The Dutch East India Company bid twelve thousand taels!"

Crazy, crazy.

The Ming merchants present all felt that these red-haired people were crazy, but they didn't know how to lock the country and avoid the sea for a long time, so that the current Ming Dynasty knew very little about Europe.

At present, both the royal family and the aristocracy in Europe are proud to be able to own a set of porcelain or silver from the East, and the tea trade has long been unable to satisfy these caravans that come to the Ming Dynasty to make money.

Treasures can be sold at a high price, and after returning to Europe, this set of porcelain vases can be sold for at least 100,000 silver coins for a high price, so these people are not stingy here.

And the staff of the Daming Royal Auction House, who is in charge of the auction order, is even more excited, since the abolition of the basic salary and the adoption of the sharing system, although only a small part of the profit can be obtained, the majority of it is still into Zhu Youzhen's internal money, but this is the silver of the white flowers.

The higher the price, the more they will take.

"Is there anyone else who wants to increase the price!"

"Deal!"
