Since the last time Yang Shuang went on the expedition, Yang Guang gave him a few firearms, Yang Shuang now writes to ask Yang Guang for firearms every once in a while, Yang Guang always excuses himself on the grounds of insufficient production capacity, experimental weapons, and cannot go to the battlefield in a short time.

But this kind of thing has been pushed too far into the fifteenth day of the first month, and it is okay if it is pushed in the letter, and now it is about to go to the expedition, Yang Shuang took people to the Jin Wangfu early in the morning to ask for firearms, and chased after the barracks without finding anyone, no matter what happened, Yang Guang must be asked to hand over the firearms.

"Uncle Wei Wang, don't you embarrass me, the manufacture of firearms is not so easy, and our production capacity is insufficient."

"I inquired, you expanded the workshop, absolutely."

"Uncle Wei Wang, I really ......"

bang

Bang bang bang

Just when Yang Guang was making excuses, the sound of muskets suddenly sounded in the barracks behind him, and it was really timely.

Listening to the continuous voice, Yang Shuang's face turned pale: "Insufficient production capacity? ”

"Slightly...... Slightly insufficient. ”

bang

Bang bang bang

Bang bang

"Well...... Slightly ...... Insufficient. ”

Yang Shuang walked straight back, came to the school field, and saw a group of people researching new firearms, although he had not seen the arquebus, but in terms of production technology, it was much better than the firearm given to him before, and his face was full of anger for a while.

suppressed not to get angry and said to Yang Guang: "King Jin, you come with me and talk alone." ”

Facing the invitation of the Great Sui Military God for a private chat, Yang Guang was a little apprehensive in his heart, but he could only follow him into the military tent.

"Da Sima!"

Facing King Wei's almost restrained roar, Yang Guang spread his hands helplessly: "Uncle Wei Wang, you and I don't need to be so honorific in private. ”

"You think the gag thing will be over? I'm not here to joke with you, do you know that the border war is urgent, and if firearms can be spread out on a large scale, how many casualties can be reduced among the border soldiers? ”

Yang Guang also put away his smile and sighed helplessly: "Uncle Wei, what I said to you is not groundless, it is indeed a lack of production capacity." ”

"There is not enough capacity, you put so many firearms on the school grounds?"

"Uncle Wei Wang, that's all the firearms I have now, because I'm also going to the border gate soon, and I have to keep these firearms myself, otherwise I won't be gone when I get to the border pass."

Yang Shuang stared at Yang Guang with his eyes like torches for a while, and then said, "I don't care, you must make a batch for me." ”

"Hey, Uncle Wei Wang, do you know how much it costs to make these firearms?"

"The iron for making firearms has to be specially manufactured, the cost is extremely high, the manufacturing process is complicated, the craftsmen have to polish it repeatedly, the craftsmen work hard day and night, I naturally have to add more money to them, work overtime to do it, it takes so long to make this, how can I divide it?"

Yang Shuang's tone softened a lot: "Money, I have it in my house, you can just say it if you lack money, I will buy these firearms." ”

"Uncle Wei Wang, money is one thing, people are even more difficult to find, it is very difficult to train a qualified firearms craftsman, the biggest limitation in my workshop is on this, and cultivating people is not an overnight thing."

"I don't care, I want all the batches here, I will load the truck and go to the border with the grain and grass today, and you can figure out your own way later."

This is the first time Yang Shuang has been unreasonable, he does have a soft spot for firearms.

"Uncle Wei, you can't rob it hard."

Yang Shuang strode out: "I'll go to Your Majesty to ask for it." ”

"Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang......"

No matter how Yang Guang shouted, Yang Shuang had already hurried towards the direction of the palace.

Yang Guang turned to smile: "Hehe, hehe's taken the bait." ”

"Wang Yi, prepare the horse, we will also enter the palace and play a bitter trick."

The emperor met with King Wei, King Wei said a bunch of things, in the final analysis, he wanted Yang Guang to give him firearms, the emperor didn't know much about firearms, but he looked at King Wei's meaning and attached great importance to firearms, as if he would be able to win the battle with this thing, and even made the emperor suspicious.

Yang Jian rarely saw his younger brother so anxious, so he asked people to announce Yang Guang, but he didn't expect Yang Guang to be waiting outside the palace gate, so he entered the palace to see him.

"Ammor, King Wei said that the firearms you made have miraculous effects, let you share some for him to take to the front line."

"Father, it's not that the sons are unwilling, but the manufacture of firearms is extremely troublesome, and there are very few craftsmen in the sons and daughters' workshops who can really make firearms, and the amount of production now is not enough for my own use, so I can't tell the difference."

"Your Majesty, firearms can improve the combat effectiveness of our army, you let King Jin make more of them, I will take this batch to the battlefield first, and I can also help King Jin test the power of new firearms first."

Yang Shuang himself didn't expect that in order to get Yang Guang's firearms, he actually learned to set up a name.

Seeing that Yang Shuang actually used these words, Yang Guang had no choice but to say: "Father, the son is indeed a clever woman who is difficult to cook without rice." ”

Yang Jian had a headache, he didn't know what the use of firearms was, the two of them had already come to the door, so he had to say, "Let people go and get firearms first." ”

When Yang Guang came, he was well prepared and took the arquebus directly.

When he came to an open place, he set up a target and shot him in front of the emperor.

The emperor was startled with a bang.

Yang Guang hurriedly said: "Father, this is a weapon that I mentioned to you before that it is improved according to firecrackers. ”

Yang Jian sighed: "This movement is too big. ”

Yang Shuang immediately answered: "Your Majesty just wants this big movement, when I ambushed the enemy at the border pass, I took the fire hammer I gave before to open the way, and with a bang, the other party's horses were shocked, the enemy army didn't hear this sound, and I didn't react for a long time, and we were caught off guard." ”

Yang Shuang took the arquebus from Yang Guang's hand and said: "With this kind of firearm, theoretically every soldier can become a pretty good archer, and Your Majesty, think about it, if the group of soldiers can fire muskets on the city wall, how can the enemy attack our city." ”

"And ......" Yang Shuang looked at Yang Guang seriously: "Do you have any private collection, I have studied this kind of gunpowder, and it is definitely not only capable of firing steel balls, but the power of its explosion is extraordinary, hoarding it, and the explosion can also kill the enemy, I have thought of it, don't say you didn't expect it." ”

Yang Jian looked at Yang Guang as soon as Yang Shuang said this, Yang Guang had to sigh and said: "Father, I think I thought about this thing, I told you when I fired firecrackers before, it was too dangerous, and I almost killed people when I was researching, and the danger factor was too high." ”

"It's going to be dangerous, if you're not dangerous, how can I use it to fight the enemy, I know you must have it, hand it over quickly."

"Uncle Wei Wang, don't worry, this thing is still a certain distance from use, after studying it, it will be sent to the battlefield after the research is completed."

Yang Shuang said to Yang Jian very seriously: "Your Majesty, please also order the King of Jin to immediately supervise the manufacture of firearms, I want my army to have a handful of this thing." ”

"Uncle Wei Wang, everyone has one hand, you just demolished my Jin Wang's Mansion to make guns, and the money is not enough."

Yang Shuang said very decisively: "Your Majesty's military expenditure structure has changed, firearms will be listed as military supplies, if you believe in the courtiers, you will vigorously develop firearms, this is the future of the Great Sui far superior to other surrounding countries." ”

Yang Jian was a little puzzled as to why Yang Shuang believed it so much, but considering Yang Shuang's incomparable talent in military affairs, Yang Jian always trusted Yang Shuang's words inexplicably.

"Ammor, let you do this with all your might, how far can you go."

Yang Guang scratched his head a little embarrassed: "Father won't tell you, you also saw that this arquebus is well-made, and the cost of labor and materials required is very high, and the rest of the firearms that Uncle Wei wants will cost a lot of money to develop, and Erchen doesn't dare to do it on a large scale, otherwise I won't be able to hold it." ”

"Then what if, as King Wei said, it is procured as a munition?"

"Uh...... It's not that you care about the money, you know the son, the son is not the greedy person, it's really technically difficult, there are many personnel restrictions, and the production requirements are high. ”

"But according to Uncle Wei Wang's suggestion, it is really a military procurement, as long as the price is reasonable, it should be able to continue to expand production, barely maintain the operation of the workshop, if you can ask a little more, maybe it will be enough for the workshop to develop other firearms."

Based on Yang Jian's understanding of his son, the implication of his words is.

Give money! Just give the money and you'll be done.

Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, Yang Jian carefully looked at the firearm in his hand for a while, and asked Yang Shuang emphatically: "King Wei, are you really so optimistic about the future of this thing?" ”

"Your Majesty, firearms are subversive to the war situation, and after our army is equipped with a large number of firearms, it can almost crush the Turks."

Yang Shuang, who was so confident, made Yang Jian also make up his mind: "Then do it, Amo, you let the workshop expand production, increase production, and the production method must not be outflowed, and set a reasonable price for the imperial court to procure." ”

Yang Guang didn't like it: "Yes, father." ”

This arms business is the most profitable business, and if this business is maintained, won't the money come in in a hurry? Yang Guang looked at Yang Shuang's eyes and even had to be a little grateful, if Yang Shuang hadn't spoken, how could Yang Jian have agreed so happily.

The two walked out of the palace gate together, and Yang Shuang said directly: "King Jin, now that His Majesty has promised the imperial court to purchase firearms, the funds of the firearms workshop will not be a problem in the future, and production will not be a problem." ”

"It should barely be able to hold on, but it may not be able to produce and process it quickly in a short period of time."

Yang Shuang didn't care about all Yang Guang's excuses: "Your purpose has been achieved, then all the firearms on the school field today belong to me, no problem." ”

"Huh?"

Yang Guang really didn't expect Yang Shuang, who had such thick eyebrows and big eyes, to rob himself so bluntly.

"Ah what, you made a lot of money today, don't act in front of me."

How could King Wei's ingenuity not see that today's obvious little trick was just pushing the boat along the water.

Yang Shuang didn't say much, he directly rode his horse and whipped up, looking at Yang Shuang who was galloping away, Yang Guang had to shout: "Uncle Wei Wang, I'll give you some more gunpowder." ”
