Chapter 960 Arms Trade
In the side hall on the first floor of the observation building, the oil lamp was lit for a whole night.
In the room, several designers are leaning back in chairs, or sleeping on the table and clothes.
The charcoal fire was not extinguished overnight, and the house was warm.
Yang Chengying held the oil lamp and glanced at the table full of rulers.
People who haven't slept all night like him are Qi Dazhuang, director of the Golden State Ordnance Bureau.
The drawings laid out on the table show the structure of each workshop of copper, iron and coal smelters, as well as guns and gunpowder factories.
They are all drawn by adhering to the meaning of Yang Chengying.
Jinzhou was Yang Chengying, and he ruled for the longest time, and the people's hearts were high.
Coupled with the good awareness of counter-espionage and the geographical conditions, he was selected by Yang Chengying as the base for foreign trade and arms.
As for the matter of foreign trade and arms, it can only be said that as soon as the mind is opened, everything can be thought through.
After several naval battles, the Western countries had already seen the power of firearms, and they had long wanted to introduce them.
Because of the strict management of firearms, they have never been able to obtain large quantities of firearms.
Knowing that Yang Chengying had started an arms business, they all expressed their desire to trade.
You know, the Western countries have been fighting for a long time, and if they can get high-quality firearms, they will be able to gain an advantage in the next battle.
Who can resist this temptation.
In the face of huge economic interests, Yang Chengying can't resist.
So, taking advantage of the idle winter, he summoned the main figures of the Jinzhou Ordnance Bureau to Shenyang to replan the Jinzhou Ordnance Bureau.
Seeing that the designers were sleeping soundly, Yang Chengying glanced at Qi Dazhuang, and the two left the observation tower and took a walk outside.
"Treading ......"
Cotton shoes step on the snow, making footsteps and leaving a series of footprints.
Yang Chengying said, "I heard that your son has made a great contribution and caught a group of robbers."
Qi Dazhuang heard His Highness mention his son, and his face was proud: "Thanks to His Highness's kindness, let that kid eat enough every day and grow strong, unlike his old man who starved nine out of ten days. When he was a soldier, I told him that if you don't know gratitude, heaven won't let you go."
"Hahaha......" Yang Chengying smiled, all parents are probably the same.
"Your Highness, why are we selling the birds? We've seen the guys in the hands of the red-haired fan before, and they look very similar, and the quality is one day after another."
Qi Dazhuang was very puzzled.
"Actually, you have a misunderstanding. For example, you have heard of the Rakshasa country, it seems to be very powerful, but their smelting skills are very poor, and the plows used by the farmers are made of wood."
"Wow."
"It will be a few years before their smelting technology reaches our level. At that point, we'll be a different story."
"Your Highness's words are true."
"So, you have to put the drawings we designed into practice and build the first military industrial town."
"Understood."
Qi Dazhuang was originally the leader of the hungry people, but under the cultivation of Yang Chengying, he gradually mastered the most powerful weapon of this era - the technology of gun manufacturing.
He knows that no matter who he is under his command, he can rely on this unique skill to worry about food and clothing.
But only under the command of His Highness, he can not only have no worries about food and clothing, but also gain enough respect.
Some people pay respect, and privately call it "Miracle Yin Qiao", and there are many people.
"I have a lot to do, I can't be involved, and the heavy responsibility falls on your shoulders."
Yang Chengying said, "If you think the task is too heavy, you can tell me, and I will send someone to help you."
"Your Highness, rest assured, we can do this. There are so many people that we can't let our good things be stolen by others."
Qi Dazhuang patted his chest and promised.
Yang Chengying nodded.
Zu Dashou hurried from the Privy Council: "Your Highness, Gu Luge sent someone to send a report to the palace, and Omubu took the initiative to surrender."
Subsequently, the letters of Yue Zhen, the general of the expedition, and Li Guoying, the general of Jining, were delivered successively
Yang Chengying's hand.
In the letter, both of them explained the causes and consequences of the surrender of Omubu, and cross-corroborated and could obtain relatively credible results.
Omubu was already frightened because of the revelation of the matter.
Gu Luge, Hang Gao, Eluchen and others were ordered to cut off their retreat, which made Omubu panic even more.
Without waiting for Yue's army to arrive, Omubu took the initiative to surrender.
In addition to explaining the matter, Yue also said in the letter that he would continue to march and return to Shenyang after capturing Sun Cheng.
Yang Chengying put down the letter and asked, "General Zu, what do you think about this matter?"
"The minister thinks that he should send a letter to General Yue and ask him to bring Omubu and the others, but not kill Omubu."
Zu Dashou replied.
"What are you going to do with him?"
"Of course, bring him back and execute him in front of the civil and military forces to make an example."
"Makes sense." Yang Chengying nodded in agreement, "Add one more Maohan, and the rest will not be investigated."
"Your Highness's mercy is a blessing to the people of the world."
"When did you become so talkative?"
"I've been following His Highness for a long time, so it will be natural." Zu Dashou also pulled Qi Dazhuang, "Look at Qi Dazhuang, he wasn't like this before."
Qi Dazhuang scratched his head and said, "People have to grow up."
Seeing a man in his forties say such things, Yang Chengying and Zu Dashou couldn't help laughing.
According to the time calculation, it is estimated that Yue Zhi will lead the army to arrive in Guihua City in November, and it will not be until December to return.
And this matter is in an uproar, it is time to hold a court meeting and talk about this matter well.
Thinking of this, Yang Cheng said to Zu Zepei, "You inform the officials in Shenyang that a court meeting will be held early tomorrow morning to discuss the matter of Omubu."
"Yes." Zu Zepei clenched his fists.
Influenced by film and television dramas, many people think that it is impossible to hold a court meeting every day.
The emperor was originally very delicate, and the affairs of various places were heavy, so he didn't have to do things when he held meetings every day.
The same is true of the court council, which will not be convened without a big event. ap.
The three of them were walking in the snow, and suddenly saw Hai Lanzhu, Deyin and Bumu Butai walking towards them.
"The minister still has something to do, so I will leave first." Zu Dashou saw that the opportunity was not good, so he quickly slipped away.
Before he slipped away, he tugged at Lazi's big sleeve.
Qi Dazhuang finally reacted, and said that he would go back and look at the design drawings and run away.
"You...... You guys!"
Yang Chengying turned around and looked at the backs of the two of them, and was speechless for a moment.
Looking back at the three ladies again, Yang Chengying's face showed a wry smile.
In the early morning of the eighth day of the first month of November, Wang Yong, the chamberlain, found the Ministry of Industry to renovate the Cleaning Officials Division, and had a discussion with the head of the Cleaning Officials Division.
By the way, let the Qing Officials send a new stepping bed to the palace.
The stepping bed is the largest bed in the ancient traditional furniture, and it is mostly used in the south.
Because of the warmth of the south, there are many mosquitoes and flies, and the function of the bed frame is to hang mosquito nets.
Sleep more on the kang in the north.
However, Yang Chengying was a southerner in his previous life, and he felt that it was too hot to sleep on the kang.
When the belvedere was built, he asked the craftsman to repair the bed and sleep comfortably.
In the camp Qing official Shi Langzhong, he asked Wang Yong in a low voice, "What happened to His Highness's bed?"
"How do you know it's Your Highness's need?" Wang Yong asked rhetorically.
"The palace uses a stepping bed, only His Royal Highness."
"Uh." Wang Yong was speechless, and covered up for a long time.
He had to whisper, "The bed is broken."
