Xiao Chen is sure of this, because what? Because he had a batch of Western muskets in his hand, and more than a batch......

At that time, the madman's arsenal had just begun to be built, and it was still unknown whether it could make muskets, so Xiao Chen asked Wilson to help order 2,000 of the latest Western tunnel-fired muskets.

As a result, when it arrived half a year later, the madman had already developed the first batch of muskets, and their performance was even better than that of Western muskets.

This incident made Xiao Chen extremely depressed, and he would have known that he would not have spent this unjust money!

Those Westerners are really not particular, their muskets are no problem, and the quality is guaranteed, but there are only guns, and there are no replacement vulnerable parts.

These parts are extremely difficult to manufacture, and the time-consuming, labor-intensive, and labor-intensive parts are not worth it.

But this thing can't be distributed, because all the weapons used by Yan Yunjun are all standard, and the caliber of ammunition used in this batch of Western muskets is different from the ones they produced, and they can't be used at all, so Zhuge Xiaosheng Lin Yue and they don't want it.

Later, the muskets in the arsenal were constantly updated, and their performance had already far exceeded these Western muskets, and they all had a generation difference, and it was impossible to use them.

The high-end goods bought at a great price are not used, and the return to the furnace is not enough to pick up the fee, and it is a pity to lose it, so it can only be placed in the warehouse to fall into the dust.

This was all two years ago, if it weren't for Li Wanyun mentioning it, Xiao Chen would have forgotten that he still had such a batch of 'treasures'!

In addition, after Xiao Chen and his team captured Shunfeng City and Jinsha City, they found two secret arsenals, which contained more than 20,000 brand-new Western muskets, which were still when Governor Peter smelled the crisis and urgently applied for transfer from Rus's country.

But they were captured before they could use it, so these became Xiao Chen's trophies.

If it was before, Xiao Chen would be ecstatic when he got such a batch of arms, but now he really didn't look at it, and he also ordered someone to seal it directly.

It wasn't until Yan Pingqiu attacked Gao Juli that Xiao Chen gave him 5,000, and now you know how awesome the equipment of the Northern Border Guard is, right?

How surprised the Dongying people of Gaojuli were when they saw that the cavalry of the northern frontier had such advanced firearms!

These nomadic tribes of Bageya Road have actually changed their guns for guns, and their superb horse archery skills are already a headache, and now they are all using muskets, who can stop them?

The main practical musket is the soldiers of Yanyun County under Chen Zicheng, because the cavalry of the northern tribes are still not used to this thing, after all, it takes a long time of training to become familiar with it......

Instead of putting it in the warehouse to fall into the dust, it is not bad to take it out and give it to Li Wanyun, which can not only make him owe himself a favor, but also have some funds back, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

"When is the prince going to leave for Jiangnan?" Xiao Chen asked.

"The Queen Mother is seriously ill, I want to send her old man away...... The emperor also meant this. Li Wanyun let out a long sigh and his eyes turned red.

Although the family affection of the emperor's family is weak, after all, it is a mother-son connection, and the queen mother is about to die, and he is inevitably sad as a son.

"The Queen Mother's health has always been excellent, who would have ...... Alas......" Xiao Chen could only sigh.

"My father was a craftsman, hehe, in fact, he was a cooper, at that time, there were many droughts in Shanyou, and there was no grain harvest for many years, and the business was extremely depressed, and my father had to go out to work to make a living.

At that time, the emperor and I were both young, and it was not easy for the queen mother to pull us alone......"

Li Wanyun suddenly recalled the old things, and was extremely moved, and Xiao Chen could only listen to it.

In fact, they are all from Shanyou, only later moved to Jingzhou, their father worked hard in Jingzhou for more than ten years, accumulated some silver, and then started a business, it was also his time to come, and he made a fortune in a few years, and the Li family also became a big family in Jingzhou.

It is precisely because of the silver that Li Wanjiang can summon troops to start an incident, but the fact that his father has been a cooper must not be mentioned, for the sake of His Holiness.

So he has always regarded himself as a Jingzhou person, but he erased all the experiences on the right side of the mountain and didn't mention it, but if you don't mention it, don't you mention it, do the folks in the township know that you are fine?

I also know that you have been nicknamed 'Li Bucket' since you were a child, because you are the son of a cooper......

said that since you are from Jingzhou, why don't you need us Jingzhou people to be big officials when you become the emperor? There are also those imperial relatives in the DPRK and the central government, who are all from Shanyou, but there is no one from Jingzhou.

It's really a shame that our Jingzhou disciples have died in order to achieve your imperial cause...... You Li bucket is so ungrateful!

In other words, can the country of the barrel hoop be strong? Sooner or later, you'll have to leak the bottom!

However, he said that Li Wanyun recalled the difficulties of his childhood for a while, and talked about the difficulty of fighting the country with Li Wanjiang, but somehow he talked about the dictatorship of his relatives, of course, he did not say it directly, but mentioned it very vaguely.

"If you want to say that they are not sensible, let's take that Shi Mingtao as an example, right? Relying on the protection of the Queen Mother, he secretly did smuggling business and made a lot of ill-gotten gains...... Why did I hear that Xiao Chen, you have a good relationship with him? Li Wanyun suddenly asked.

"It's okay, it's just a little bit of business." Xiao Chenxin said that I have a good relationship with Shi Mingtao, but Shi Mingtao also has a good relationship with Nanfeng, so I don't believe you don't know!

"Well, there is also that Qin Gang, Shi Mingwen is even more arrogant, although everyone is dead, but the reputation is still not very good, don't you say they are smearing the Queen Mother's face? The emperor is also a dutiful son, knowing that they are doing misdeeds, but he has not been able to punish them......" Li Wanyun's hints became more and more obvious.

"And this Lin Han, I remember that he was originally a small hundred households, and he became a Jiangdong general in just a few years? In the final analysis, it still depends on the Queen Mother...... Of course, this has nothing to do with the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother's old man is dedicated to worshipping the Buddha, and she doesn't ask about these mundane things at all, it's all the guys in the Ministry of War who guess the Queen Mother's intentions. ”

"I saw the emperor this time, and I also told him about it, and persuaded the emperor to put the world first, family affection first, and make up his mind to destroy his relatives with righteousness! It's just that the emperor is still hesitant...... "Li Wanyun This is no longer a hint, but an explicit."

Warn Xiao Chen, if you kid have any dealings with those relatives, you must cut it off immediately! Because the emperor is about to attack them when he speaks, it is the so-called pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud, but I am afraid that this time it will involve a lot of people.

He only took Shi Mingtao and Lin Han as examples, showing that these two are not a big problem, as long as they are interested, they can still save their lives, but other relatives may not be, because with Li Wanjiang's style of doing things, either don't do it, or do it absolutely!

It wasn't until the afternoon that the banquet was dispersed, Lin Han and Chen Ziang were both drunk, and Xiao Chen didn't know where they lived, so they simply took them all home and settled them down.

Shi Mingtao never left, and was still chatting with Xu Wenzhou, Xu Wenzhou was very interested in his smuggling channel, and the two talked very deeply.
