Chapter 7 National Security

Early the next morning, Yang Guang received an edict from the emperor, and the father-in-law from the palace was waiting in the front hall in a hurry, and said to Wang Yi: "Manager Wang, why hasn't His Royal Highness the King of Jin come out yet?" Your Majesty is in a hurry. ”

Wang Yi looked embarrassed: "Your Highness was a big day to get married yesterday, and I got up late today, Your Majesty allowed His Highness to rest, this morning, His Highness has not yet freshened up, the messenger is a little calm, I will urge again." ”

As soon as Wang Yi's words fell, Yang Guang walked over, he was in a state of weakness at this time, and he didn't sleep well for long last night.

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, let's go to the palace, we can't let Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wait for a long time."

Yang Guangduo kept an eye on it: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also there?" ”

The little eunuch realized that he had said the wrong thing in a hurry, he didn't need to tell Yang Guang anything else, he just needed to summon Yang Guang into the palace, and now that the prince was also there, it was naturally one more thing, and one more thing was better than one less thing.

"This father-in-law, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what is the matter with the king?"

The eunuch couldn't talk much, and he sweated nervously at this time: "Your Highness, don't embarrass the slave maid, let's enter the palace with the slave maid first." ”

Unexpectedly, Yang Guang didn't get to the bottom of it, and ordered someone to reward him with some silver taels, so that the eunuch would be grateful to Dade.

He just heard that the big eunuch in the palace said that he came to the Jin Palace, not only did he never look down on him, but the King of Jin and the Princess of Jin were very generous, and they would do some things, so they all rushed to come to the Jin Palace.

After passing the palace gate, he went straight to the emperor's imperial study, at this time the emperor and the prince had been waiting for a long time, and Yang Guang walked in, the prince's face was very dark.

"See your father, His Royal Highness the Prince."

Yang Yong directly asked with a dark face: "Second brother, you are becoming more and more unruly now, your father passed the edict, and you actually made your father wait for so long." ”

"Forgive me, forgive me, His Royal Highness the Prince, I was newly married yesterday, after all, it was the marriage of the father and the queen mother, and it was not good to refuse the enthusiasm of my friends, and I drank with a few friends, so I drank too much and fell asleep.

Yang Jian was still writing and said: "That's it, that's it, I shouldn't have called you today, but you have to make up your mind about the matter, and the stakes are so high, I have to let you come over." ”

Looking at Yang Jian's absent-minded appearance, Yang Guang understood that his old father was still sensible, how to do this kind of happy day, there were ignorant people to disturb, and the matter was more important, so he had to call him over, and he thought of what was going on.

Fortunately, Yang Yong went to Li Yuan with his own cleverness before, in a vain attempt to win over Li Yuan, but instead let Yang Guang get what he wanted to do in advance, otherwise he would be really unprepared now.

"Father doesn't know what's going on?"

Yang Jian didn't raise his head: "Prince, say it yourself." ”

"Yes, Father."

Yang Yong walked in front of Yang Guang and said: "Now in the north of Dading, although we still have to take strict precautions, but we can't set off any waves, but in the northeast, Goguryeo and other places have protected Gao Baoning before, and we have to warn that because there is a demand at the border gates, we have to build a new firearms arsenal in Youzhou City, so that we can expand the scale of production and increase the number of firearms equipped by our army." ”

Yang Guang's face was solemn, and seeing Yang Guang like this, Yang Yong felt that he had the upper hand, this appeal was reasonable and reasonable from any point of view, and the starting point was also for the imperial court, could he still refuse?

In the end, Yang Guang didn't look at Yang Yong but asked Yang Jian: "Father, what do you think?" ”

Yang Jian's attention didn't leave the words on his desk, and he replied seemingly indifferently: "You said what you think." ”

"Father, firearms are secrets after all, and it's not good to get them into the hands of others."

As soon as Yang Guang said this, Yang Yong overthrew Yang Guang impatiently: "What do you call someone else, am I not thinking about Da Sui?" In the past, it was time-consuming and laborious to transport firearms from Daxingcheng, and now the output of firearms in Daxingcheng cannot keep up. ”

"Brother Huang, listen to me first."

"Okay, you say."

Yang Guang was much relieved when he saw his anxious appearance: "Father, although the production of firearms is not high now, we have not made any big moves, and the production of firearms can be increased slowly, there is no need to say that all the troops are equipped with firearms, and Erchen believes that for the sake of "national security", the number of firearms should be reduced rather than increased. ”

When Yang Guang said this, Yang Jian's pen paused, as if thinking about something, and then spoke: "You go on, what is "national security"? ”

"Let's take a simple example, Luoyang Yuan Xiaoju Yuan Tsuka Zai now has 100,000 soldiers to rebel, these soldiers are equipped with swords, light horses, if it is a large-scale expansion of firearms, it may be Luoyang Yuan Tsuka's 100,000 musketeers, this security hazard is also big."

Yang Guang smiled slightly and said: "Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince don't mind, I just took Motozuka Zai as an example, not that Motozuka Zai will definitely rebel." ”

Yang Yong's face was not good, and he immediately said: "You can't climb and bite the important ministers indiscriminately above the court." ”

"Brother Chen is an example, don't mind the imperial brother, you have to take people as an example, I have worked with Motozuka Zai in Luoyang for a while, and the relationship is very good before I dare to take him as an example, he himself will not mind."

Yang Yong's face was very dark: "You can't block the ...... because of a suspicion and speculation."

"Alright."

Yang Jian finally put down the pen in his hand, and Yang Guang and Yang Yong saluted separately.

"What Amand said is also reasonable, firearms are such a thing, powerful and dangerous, not only the hidden dangers that Amand considers now, but also the firearms themselves are flammable and explosive, how many times has this firearms arsenal been blown up?"

Yang Guang said a little embarrassedly: "In order to study new things, it is inevitable that my father will blow it up a little." ”

"This thing is also very entangled now, it is really easy to use when there is a war, but it is troublesome when there is no war, when the four seas are peaceful, and the country and the people are safe, the hidden danger of this firearm is greater than the actual use."

"Definitely!"

"Definitely!"

At this time, Yang Guang and Yang Yong both replied with the same words.

Yang Jian looked at Yang Guang in surprise: "Amo, didn't you say that you want to reduce production?" ”

"The reduction in production does not mean that there is no research on firearms, but only that the large-scale rollout of firearms is suspended, and the research on firearms cannot be stopped."

"What's the difference?"

At this time, the crown prince said: "Father, the king of Jin has repeatedly jumped sideways, and his opinions are swaying, isn't this playing with people?" ”

"Big brother, don't take such a false accusation, I'm not swaying in opinion, shrinking the production of firearms, increasing research, so that our firearms are far more advanced than others, until there is a generation gap with the current weapons."

"Generation difference? What is the generation gap? ”

"Generation is the times, the difference is the gap, although firearms have been powerful in the eyes of others, but in my opinion, the current firearms are still on the shelves, the manufacture is very rough, continue to research more powerful firearms, my second-generation firearms will crush the first generation of firearms in practical application and firepower, and then roll out the first-generation firearms after we actually master the second-generation firearms, you can feel much more at ease."

"Crush existing firearms?"

The emperor was a little incredulous, the current firearms are powerful enough, and the second generation will crush the first generation? It's incredible.
