"Bang Bang ......"

"Oops, oops......"

The arm-thick cane slapped down on the buttocks, and Gao Xiaochuan let out a sharp scream.

Seeing this scene, Liu Erneng secretly said that it was bad, and I told that Liu Daneng was hot-headed, and he didn't think about success at all, but he didn't expect that now he was implicated in Gao Gonggong.

It's okay now, I've offended the big eunuch of the War Bureau, and I won't have a good life in the future.

As the last stick fell, Gao Xiaochuan lay on the ground like a dead dog, humming and chirping.

"Gao Xiaochuan, you also bother about gunpowder."

Tianqi said lightly, because just now he had told the best ratio of gunpowder, as well as the production process of granular gunpowder and fixed-loading ammunition to the twenty craftsmen found by the Gunpowder Bureau, and even gave them samples of several sets of hydraulic machinery.

The Gunpowder Bureau is a subsidiary yamen of the War Bureau, and it is naturally under the jurisdiction of Gao Xiaochuan.

After listening to the apocalypse, Gao Xiaochuan did not dare to be indifferent, endured the pain in his buttocks, and tried to get up and respond: "Yes, long live." ”

Apocalypse seemed to think of something, and immediately added: "Also, if you are not angry in your heart, and dare to take revenge on these craftsmen, I will ask you." ”

Gao Xiaochuan hurriedly said: "Long live back, the slave and maid don't dare, the slave and the maid don't dare." ”

"That's good." Sweating profusely, Apocalypse took out a handkerchief and wiped it.

The clever Wang Tiqian hurriedly asked someone to bring a thick cloak and wrap the whole body of the Apocalypse, because he was sweating a lot inside just now, and it was very cold outside, and if he didn't do a good job of protection, it was easy to catch a cold.

The apocalypse didn't dare to get sick easily in this era, and if it wasn't good, he would take himself away with a cold.

After carefully making preparations, Wang Tiqian shouted: "Drive back to the palace." ”

After the apocalypse and his entourage left, Gao Xiaochuan wailed loudly: "Quickly pass on the imperial doctor, pass the imperial doctor, our ass." ”

He really wanted to cry without tears, two days ago he suddenly jumped from a young eunuch to a palm print eunuch, and thought it was the blessing of the ancestors, and the time came to run, but he didn't expect his ass to bloom today, it is really a companion like a tiger.

After this, our family has a hard time.

Indeed, his worries were not unfounded.

Because the War Bureau is in the Imperial City, and it is not far from the Forbidden City, the Apocalypse will make surprise visits from time to time.

There is no way, he really doesn't worry about some of the people below, for fear that they will give birth to some moths and turn the flintlock pistol he has in mind yellow.

But this made Gao Xiaochuan suffer, his butt injury could not be healed in three or two days, for fear that Banzai would suddenly visit, so he didn't dare to go to meditate and recuperate, it was really a big sin.

In fact, the apocalypse could directly issue a message to him to recuperate, but in order to make him have a long memory, he deliberately did not.

At this time, the apocalypse was a little relieved to allocate 200,000 taels to the War Bureau.

If this was placed in the past, it is difficult to say whether it can really be used in practice.

But now, even if there are many people who are greedy, they don't dare to easily hit the attention of the 200,000 taels, which is under the nose of Banzai, and the risk is too great.

However, to Tianqi's surprise, the household department did not cry poor, and quickly allocated the money very happily, it seems that Wei Zhongxian did not want to make any stumbling blocks in this matter, because Guo Yunhou, the secretary of the household department, is also attached to the eunuch party, and it is impossible not to consult Wei Zhongxian's opinion.

……

In Xian'an Palace, Ke Baba asked with some surprise: "Zhongxian, 200,000 taels will be given, why don't you make some trouble for our Banzai?" ”

"Even if you want to give it, you can't let him take it so easily, you have to let him know that it was your idea to let him get it, so that he can remember your goodness."

Wei Zhongxian understood what Kebaba meant, that is, to let the household make some trouble first, create some trouble for Banzai, and make him anxious.

In this case, Banzai may become more and more dislike of political affairs.

At this time, he came up with another idea, and then secretly asked Tobe to agree, so that Banzai realized his ability and role, so that he could leave everything to himself with peace of mind as before.

Wei Zhongxian naturally wouldn't have thought of this kind of move, and he had used it many times before, and even handed over the chapter when Tianqi was seriously doing carpentry work, which made Tianqi annoyed, and he got the right to approve the red step by step.

But now, the haunting Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly appeared, and let Banzai care about the matter of criticism again.

Although it was just a formality, after all, Wei Zhongxian and Kebaba were a little uneasy, and it was better to let Banzai get involved.

Wei Zhongxian touched his beardless chin and said seriously: "Madame's opinion, our family has not thought about it. ”

"However, compared to 200,000 taels of silver, our family wants to see what the purpose of Banzai is to improve those firearms. Did he just want to rely on this so-called flintlock pistol to block the soldiers of the captives? If that Jianyu is so easy to deal with, my Ming Dynasty will not lose Liaodong. ”

"In addition, is this his own whim, or is it Zhu Yuanzhang's idea for him?"

Hearing these words, Ke Baba's expression sank, and then he realized that the biggest opponent of the two of them was not Banzai, but Zhu Yuanzhang, who could not be seen or touched.

As long as there is no Zhu Yuanzhang behind him, it will be much easier to control the emperor.

It was night, in the West Warm Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, the lights had been extinguished, and everyone thought that the apocalypse and the queen had fallen asleep.

Actually, the couple lay flat on the dragon bed and discussed in a low voice.

"I have millions of soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, but I can be a great user, and there is not one in ten, and most of them are outside the customs."

"If Jianyu makes a detour to Mongolia, the army of the Nine Sides will not be able to stop it, and the land of Jinggi in my Ming Dynasty will be in danger."

"If you want to drive out the Tartars, you must train elite soldiers. If the troops are trained, the Beijing camp will be trained first. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yan was slightly surprised: "Your Majesty, has the nine sides been eroded to this point?" ”

Tianqi said worriedly: "I'm afraid it's more serious than I imagined." ”

It's not that he knows much about the border pass, but from the memories of his previous life, because he has read several historical novels in the late Ming Dynasty, and through the memories of the plot these days, he has remembered many important characters and major events.

Jianyu has entered the prison five times or several times, and each time he comes and goes freely, as if entering a no-man's land, and the so-called nine-sided is nothing.

The army that came to King Qin was hardly an enemy of Jianyu, and the Guanning Iron Cavalry did not have any decent records.

Apocalypse is not sure if there will be a year or two left for Jianyu's first entry, but no matter how long it takes, if some changes are not made within this time, the historical tragedy will continue to repeat.

That's why he eagerly invented the flintlock pistol and personally paid attention to the mass production.

But no matter how good a weapon is, if it is not used by the right person, it is no different from a burning stick.

At present, the army with the strongest combat effectiveness of the Ming Dynasty is probably only the Guan Ning Army, the Shizhu Army, and a few Guangxi wolf soldiers.

However, the Guanning army has already become a trend, and if the flintlock pistol is handed over to them for use, I am afraid that the tail will not be too big and will not be controlled by the imperial court.

And the stone pillar soldiers and wolf soldiers are all local Tusi troops, even if the apocalypse trusts them and is willing to give them advanced muskets to use, other officers and soldiers will not be convinced, and the military department and cabinet will not be able to pass the level.

Excluding these factors, Apocalypse immediately thought of Jingying, and it was also straightforward.

However, the erosion of the Beijing camp is not much better than that of the border army, and if it is not rectified, no matter how good the weapons are given to them, it will be embarrassing and useful.

So Tianqi said so much, and the ultimate goal was to discuss the matter of Jingying with Zhang Yan.

"Although the concubine doesn't understand military affairs, the concubine also feels that what His Majesty said is very true." Zhang Yan agrees with the idea of the apocalypse.

"Zitong, I actually have a suitable candidate in my heart, but this person is from the Donglin Party, so I'm afraid of ......"

Zhang Yan was slightly startled, she knew what His Majesty was worried about.
