Chapter 275: Paving the Way for the Future of Firearms

"Isn't that a question about my arrangement?"

Back at the boss's camp, Fang Jue looked at Ye Hongyi and Wei Feng and said with a smile.

"As a subordinate, you shouldn't doubt the general, but is it appropriate to let He Feng be in charge of the firearms battalion?" Wei Feng was very serious.

Firearms are a force that must be in the hands of His Majesty, and this is well known throughout the dynasty.

Whoever dares to stretch out his hand to a firearm will inevitably have his palm cut off.

However, Fang Jue left a firearm from a hundred households camp to He Feng.

"Fang Jue, will Your Majesty agree?" Ye Hongyi couldn't help but say.

In front of He Feng, Ye Hongyi wanted to remind him, but he couldn't help but say nothing.

"If He Feng needs to use Zheng Jun's firearms battalion, it means that he can't hold Danzhou, don't worry, He Feng won't go that far."

"I left him with firearms, just to let him know the power of firearms, adapt to the new era in time, and actively join in this new era."

Fang Jue said lightly: "What's more, in order to save his life, there is a firearms camp, even if Yanzhou is lost, he can protect He Feng and return to Linzhou." ”

Wei Feng understood: "What does the general mean that He Feng will not call the firearms battalion?" ”

"Of course." Fang Jue said.

"He Feng is so arrogant, don't look at him now, he is very sophisticated, in fact, seeing the firearms come out, a veteran like him is holding his breath in his heart."

"If he uses a firearm, it means that he admits that he is outdated and cannot keep up with the times...... He won't give in easily. ”

For He Feng, Fang Jue is clear about the investigation, this person is very good at dealing with people, but don't think that he is really amiable.

Arrogance in the heart is a common problem of the strong.

Especially a person who was destined to become a famous general from birth and take over the military of Great Xia.

He Feng must be co-opted as soon as possible and let him become one of the supporters of firearms.

The development of firearms has made a good start, but then Fang Jue does not think that it will go very smoothly.

The imperial court will value firearms, but it will also suppress firearms, because it is too shocking, and once it loses control, there will be endless troubles.

This is more fearful and jealous than ordinary military power.

"Woo He Feng?" Ye Hongyi's eyes widened, he couldn't believe that Fang Jue actually said it so bluntly in front of himself and Wei Feng.

When the hundred officials saw He Feng, they had to take a detour, for fear of being suspected and suspicious by the emperor, because they wanted to get involved in military power.

Are you still sticking it up?

"Didn't you deliberately avoid befriending powerful figures in the military before?" Ye Hongyi said.

"Heh, I want He Feng to support the development of firearms, not to support me, there is an essential difference." Fang Jue glanced at Wei Feng and saw that he seemed to have a little bit of this meaning, so he told the two of them.

Ye Hongyi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Firearms are the artifacts of the country, and we need the support of the entire court, not just He Feng...... Some people are not necessarily effective in doing good deeds, but they are very effective in making stumbling blocks. Fang Jue meant something.

Wei Feng didn't know who he was talking about.

Ye Hongyi knew it, and said with a smile: "The letter from Jingzhong said this? ”

On that day, at the imperial court, the good news entered Beijing and the firearms were meritorious, but they were attacked and suspected, and Ye Hongyi naturally got a report from the Hanging Sword Division.

She also paid attention to the wind and grass in the Jinling court.

"Some people don't know if it's really for the sake of Great Xia or for their own selfishness, anyway, there are many people who are not happy to see the rise of firearms at the moment...... In fact, there are many such people in the military. ”

Fang Jue looked at Wei Feng meaningfully.

"General Wei didn't seem to be very willing to transfer over before he entered the Musket Bureau, right?" Fang Jue teased.

"Ahem......" Wei Feng touched his nose, a little embarrassed, he didn't expect Fang Jue to even know this.

"General, the last general must support the development of firearms!" Wei Feng is colored.

Ye Hongyi laughed: "Of course you support it, you are the commander of the firearms battalion." ”

"......" Wei Feng was stunned, at present, it seems that the most direct beneficiary of firearms is actually him Wei Feng himself.

In addition to Fang Jue, the military exploits brought by firearms, the one who benefited the most was definitely Wei Feng, who was the chief general of the firearms battalion.

"He Feng is the first person of the younger generation in the military, and with his support, we have won the support of the entire He family faction......"

"The three largest families in the military are the Mo family and the Wei family."

"The Mo family is the guard of the Son of Heaven, Mo Yuan has always stood on His Majesty's side, His Majesty supports firearms, and the Mo family also supports firearms."

"There is still the Wei family left, General Wei Feng has already expressed his position, and Wei Ran has also expressed his support, so there is no obstacle."

Fang Jue rubbed his hands and baked on the charcoal fire, this cool winter in the north was too cold.

Wei Feng exclaimed: "The general has been here for a long time, paving the way for the development of firearms?" ”

This should be the next thing Your Majesty should consider, but Fang Jue has already started to test it for His Majesty.

"He Feng should understand what I mean."

Fang Jue said: "After Zheng Jun surprises him, he will understand that the future of firearms is unstoppable." ”

"Huh?"

Ye Hongyi: "What military order did you give to Zheng Jun's 100-household battalion?" ”

"The young master has lent [Zero Two] to Zheng Baihu for the time being." Dianyi said lightly.

"Zero two?" Wei Feng looked puzzled, "What's that?" ”

Although he was in the firearms battalion, Wei Feng didn't know about Fang Jue's "Zero" series of firearms, which were all muskets that even Fang Jue couldn't mass-produce.

At present, the best "Zero One" is carried by Fang Jue, and the follow-up is a copy of it, the quality is insufficient, and the service life is less than half of that of "Zero One".

But on the battlefield, it's enough to settle the day.

"It's Fang Jue's custom-made firearm, and it's more powerful than a regular musket." Ye Hongyi understands something.

"Custom-made firearms?" Wei Feng's eyes lit up, and his eyes revealed longing.

Fang Jue glanced at him and said with a smile:

"General Wei should have one, but it's out of stock now, when you go back this time and make meritorious contributions, I'll ask the Musket Bureau to customize one for you as a reward."

"Really?" Wei Feng smiled.

Fang Jue suddenly said: "Yes, customized firearms can be used as a reward for the soldiers of the firearms battalion after their meritorious service...... It's like the traditional armor in which soldiers are rewarded? ”

"General, what an honor this is, it's worth a try!" Wei Feng agreed.

Traditional armies have their own ordnance that represents honor, but firearms battalions don't have it, which is not good.

"But I have to go back and report to Your Majesty, and I can't make the decision, I just propose it." Fang Jue didn't say too much, but he felt that this was indeed a good idea.

"If the general speaks, His Majesty will definitely consider it." Wei Feng is colored.

As the emperor's confidant, Wei Feng knew how much His Majesty trusted Fang Jue.

With Fang Jue's current contribution to Great Xia, he is afraid that His Majesty will agree to this kind of suggestion without even thinking about it, and he will praise the young master for being really whimsical.

"Okay, let's go back and rest, tomorrow He Feng will go to Yanzhou, and we will also go to the Rin River to meet the Yulin Army, and then the army will return south."

"Is this triumphant?" Wei Feng rubbed his hands, as if he didn't feel that he had beaten enough.

Fang Jue said: "Your Majesty ordered me to return to Beijing before the beginning of spring, and I can't delay any longer." ”

"But it's still more than a month before the beginning of spring, let's go back slowly, will it be too early?"

"General Wei still wants to rub some military merits?" Ye Hongyi said with a smile.

Wei Feng scratched his head, he didn't plan to hide it at all.

As a forbidden army in the capital, although he is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, he does not need military merits and has a set of promotion processes, but it is too slow.

If this trip can accumulate enough military merits, Wei Feng will not need to boil his qualifications, and he can save a few years.

"General Wei doesn't have to be a pity, this time we won't go back directly, first go to Suzhou to see the disaster relief situation, and then go to Ganzhou...... In the end, I went straight to the capital. ”

"Ganzhou?" Wei Feng was puzzled.

Ye Hongyi said: "You already know? ”

Fang Jue nodded: "King Ning is going to rebel, I can't let him officially raise troops like Luo Yang, then my Great Xia will be too embarrassed, and I plan to nip it in the bud." ”

"King Ning rebelled?" Wei Feng's eyes widened, "This ......"

Wei Feng's expression was strange, and he felt that this year was not a good year.

Yue Pingchuan, Xiao Luoye, Tian Deyi...... Another King Ning.

Why do so many people want to rebel?

"We just laughed at Bei Liang, but we didn't expect that something would happen to our family." Wei Feng was very upset.

"How are you going to suppress King Ning?" Ye Hongyi asked.

Fang Jue looked at her and said with a smile: "Hongyi, it's time for you Hanging Sword Division to come in handy." ”
