Dayan Khan not only sent Aheima to the Ming Dynasty to find a way to buy red-coated cannons, but even arranged the same task for Bars, who intended to leave the steppe, and even promised Bars that if he could successfully bring back the red-coated cannons, he would be the heir to the throne of Khan.

Bars was not interested in the position of Khan. However, he realized that the left and right flanks were now torn apart, and if the victory was not decided quickly, the steppe would be plunged into endless war.

The unfortunate ones are the ordinary herders who are already living a difficult life.

I don't know how many more children have become orphans.

He is a descendant of Genghis Khan and has the blood of the Golden Family. He could not afford to watch his compatriots become cannon fodder for war.

Finding a new red-coated cannon for Dayan Khan has become his most urgent task at present.

As for his beloved fiancée, he has been sending Hai Dongqing and those little teenagers under him these days, but unfortunately he has not brought back any news of her.

Bals was worried, but he still knew what was important—first getting the Red Cannons to end the Prairie War, and then going to find his fiancée.

The Ming Dynasty was very strict in the control of iron weapons, and the high-precision weapons of mass destruction such as red-coated cannons were strictly supervised, and the relevant information was not accessible to ordinary people.

Bars had to ask someone to customize the style of the rusty red-coated cannons on the grassland.

Even so, after a long search and a high price, an ironsmith workshop agreed to try it.

Ah Heima's idea is simpler and more direct: "Instead of making cannon barrels here, which is easy to be discovered, it is better to catch the craftsmen who can make them to the grassland and make them for us on the grassland." ”

That's a good idea. Anyway, there are those old red-coated cannons from the Mahami era, and the difficulty of imitation should be much lower.

Bars and Ahehema had a lively discussion about the task of capturing the blacksmith and going to the steppe, and worked out a quick and feasible course of action as much as possible.

……

Luoyang City, the former residence of Liu Jian.

The white-haired Liu Jian was sitting on a recliner with a blanket on his legs, listening intently to the report of his third son, Liu Jie.

He looked at his only remaining son with emotion. The eldest son and the second son are very promising and became officials, but unfortunately they are gone early.

This youngest son, who can't study, can take care of his knees and help him take care of various affairs.

"Anhua King Zhu Ningxiao's rebellion is a great opportunity to get rid of Liu Jin. Ying Ning surrendered to Li Dongyang at the beginning of the year according to your instructions, and this time to quell the rebellion in Anhua, Li Dongyang really recommended Ying Ning to the emperor. ”

"The emperor ordered Ying Ning to take charge of military affairs, put down the rebellion with the chief military officer Shenying, and appointed the lieutenant officer Zhang Yong to serve as the overseer. Ying Ning's former general, Qiu Yue, was a talent, and it only took eighteen days to quell the rebellion and arrest Zhu Ningjiao before the arrival of the imperial army. ”

"This Zhang Yong and Liu Jin are already on the same page, if he complains to the emperor and brings down Liu Jin, the matter will be more than half successful."

Ying Ning is Yang Yiqing's word. Yang Yiqing is the eldest brother of Liu Jian's second son Liu Dong, the elder brother of Liu Xuejiang's stepmother, and a member of Liu Jian's right-hand man.

Liu Jian waved his hand: "It's not enough." ”

Liu Jie was puzzled: "Why did my father say that?" The slogan of 'Qing Jun's side and punishment of Liu Jin' has been clearly put forward in the text of King Anhua's rebellion, can't this defeat Liu Jin? ”

Liu Jian closed his eyes and said slowly: "In the past few years, Liu Jin has presided over the government, reformed drastically, abolished redundant officials, suppressed Enyin, cleared the land, and reformed the army. Although it caused the hearts of the people in the world to fluctuate and the people's resentment boiled, it cut the expenditure of the imperial court and brought the corrupt and corrupt government into a new atmosphere. ”

Liu Jian sighed: "Although Liu Jin is a eunuch, he dares to be the first in the world and does what the old man wants to do but does not dare to do." It's just that he is impatient, his methods are frequent, and he is too drastic, if he doesn't brake sharply, he is afraid that there will be a big mess. ”

"King Anhua, the prince of such a remote and poor place in Ningxia dares to rebel, I am afraid that the world will be in chaos again!"

"Liu Jin, it's time to be pushed down."

Liu Jie was puzzled: "Why does my father have such a high opinion of Liu Jin?" The death of the eldest brother and the second brother is inseparable from this thief. The fall of Ah Jiang's world is also the bane he buried......"

"One yard to one yard. In terms of selfishness, Liu Jin and I have a grudge against killing our sons and grandchildren. Back then, if he hadn't sent someone to strangle Ah Jiang's mother and son, your two elder brothers, and Cheng En, would not have died tragically. However, in the imperial court, in the emperor, and in the Jiangshan Sheji of the Ming Dynasty, he has the credit of putting things right. It's just that when a good thing is overdone, it becomes a bad thing. ”

Liu Jie hesitated: "In this way, if the emperor misses Liu Jin a little bit of old affection and refuses to suppress it with a heavy hand, how can it be good?" ”

Liu Jian suddenly opened his eyes, and there was a gleam in his eyes, "He can't make a fool of himself in this matter." The new policy offended civil and military officials and royal relatives. If you don't push Liu Jin out as a scapegoat. He was the one who died! How could the old man watch him kill himself and live up to the dying instructions of the first emperor? ”

"Take the two hostas that Jiang is carrying!"

Liu Jie carefully took out a small bamboo tube from the drawer of his desk and handed it to Liu Jian.

Liu Jian opened the bamboo tube, looked at the silver tickets and two hostas that were tightly stuffed inside, and handed them back to Liu Jie.

"Send this to the capital, and it will come in handy if necessary."

Liu Jie took the bamboo tube carefully, but was a little skeptical: "Can this be useful?" After all, Liu Jin has served the emperor for many years and has a deep friendship. ”

"No matter how deep the friendship is, deceiving the superiors and hiding the subordinates, killing his wife and destroying his children, how can the emperor tolerate him?"

Liu Jian paused, closed his eyes again, and said two words softly: "Go." ”

……

At this time, in the Forbidden City, Liu Jin, the eunuch who was known as the "Emperor of Stations", sneezed loudly.

He looked around in fear, trying to find the one who cursed him and wanted to frame him.

It's a pity that I didn't find anything, only a small brocade guard Qianhu crawling on the ground in front of me, Qian Ning.

Since the news of Anhua's rebellion came to Zhu Ningxiao, Liu Jin has often panicked in his heart, and always feels that there is an invisible net that wants to tie him up and strangle.

He wanted to resist, but he couldn't.

Liu Jin picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea to calm down.

After thinking about it, he felt that as long as the important things that the emperor always had in mind were solved, no matter how others poured dirty water on him and slandered him, the emperor would definitely protect himself!

The tea was slightly cold, and Liu Jin angrily threw the teacup on Qian Ning.

"Waste, what do we want you for! It's just a young woman and child, and it's been almost three years, and you haven't even found a clue! ”

Qian Ning was hit on the forehead by the teacup, and was splashed on the face by the tea and the tea leaves, looking embarrassed.

He hurriedly cried and begged for mercy: "The righteous father is angry, the righteous father is angry!" The villain didn't know that the woman was Liu Xuejiang, the granddaughter of the former Shoufu family, and failed to target...... However, since the righteous father pointed out last year, the villain has also found out some clues, as long as it takes time, it is only a matter of time before he finds someone! ”

Liu Jin was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Oh? Tell me more about it. (End of chapter)
