Chapter 296: Purchasing Officer
"I'll send an innate master to escort you back. After reading the letter, Zhang Rong couldn't judge the truth of the content of the letter, but she also knew that this matter was not trivial.
Fan Jin did not refuse, and after receiving the letter from her hand, he took the people and rode in pairs, and quickly left Nanjing, heading towards Hangzhou, Zhejiang.
Fortunately, the two places are bordered, and the distance is not very long. After hurrying day and night, at noon the next day, he finally came to the Hangzhou Mansion.
found Jia Qi and explained the situation, and the two immediately held a plenary meeting of Wenjiang Pavilion and put Cao Huachun's letter on the table.
"Could this be true? Cao Huachun will have the same heart with us? Why do I think this becomes more and more strange the more I think about it?" Zhuge Hanxing said doubtfully after reading the letter at the end.
Even if the letter was true, he was not as faithful as it was proclaimed. Maybe it's because of the desire for power, or maybe it's because the oppression in the court is too ruthless?" Jiang Huai said.
Lu Shuang looked around at everyone and said seriously: "I think that if you want to find out the truth of the content of the letter, you must find out what a firearm is and what a red-coated cannon is. ”
Jia Qi opened his mouth and said: "The secret guards in the palace, the pavilion guards in the Scripture Pavilion, and the law enforcers in the Administration Bureau have all received my orders and are now investigating these two things. ”
"If it's really as the letter says, as soon as the red-clothed cannon goes off, it can kill an innate master, what are the Dangkou Army waiting for? Isn't it okay to just open the cannon for a decisive battle?" Nangong Yu asked in a deep voice.
"Assuming that the content of the letter is true, is it because the other party is reluctant to fight a decisive battle, is it because they do not have enough red-coated cannons in their hands and do not have full confidence to defeat us directly?" Chen Ping said.
Everyone bowed slightly, and Fan Jin spoke: "If Chen Ping's speculation is true, then the imperial court must be desperately buying this red-clothed cannon now. ”
"We have to get this out before the other side makes a move. If there is really such a thing as a red-coated cannon, our Zhejiang army must also be equipped with it, and the number cannot be less than that of the Dangkou army. Yun Sheng said solemnly.
The officials each said their own thoughts and deliberations, and gradually restored the truth of the matter with various ifs. After they discussed for more than half an hour, their mouths were dry and they stopped to rest, and finally news came.
A pavilion keeper came to the door with a foreign woman with blond hair and blue eyes, knelt down to the people in the pavilion and said, "Meet your lords." ”
Fan Jin opened his mouth for them to get up and come in. Everyone's eyes couldn't help but focus on the foreign woman, and secretly said that this person may be the key to solving the puzzle.
"What news do you have to report, and if the news is useful, the reward will be more than you can imagine. Jia Qi said to the two.
The pavilion keeper looked at the woman beside him and said, "My lords, after I received the order, after many investigations, I always found nothing, and when I returned home to complain, I inadvertently learned that my concubine knew what the so-called firearms and red-coated cannons were. ”
Under the probing gaze of the officials, the woman spoke: "In my country, firearms are the main means of warfare, and the cannons in red coats are the sharp weapons used to attack fortifications.
In a war, whichever side has more firearms will have a greater chance of victory. A gun can hold twelve gunpowder bullets, and one gunpowder bullet can kill a first-class realm master.
In front of the cannon, even if it is a congenital master, it is vulnerable. Of course, this is when the shell is able to hit the innate master. ”
"There really is such a thing. The officials of Wenjiang Pavilion looked at each other, secretly shocked and happy. Fortunately, Cao Huachun, a traitor, was planted in the imperial court, otherwise, Zhejiang would be in danger.
"How could the imperial court have such a thing? Could it be that he went to a foreign country to grab it?" Yun Sheng said.
The foreign woman hesitated for a moment and said, "In our country, firearms can be bought and sold. The rulers were the largest dealers in firearms, selling countless backward firearms to countries that did not have them. ”
Jia Qi's eyes flashed with essence, and he looked at the foreign woman and said, "If you are given a large amount of gold and silver, can you buy this firearm on a large scale?"
The foreign woman thought for a moment and said, "Don't want gold or silver, if you have spirit crystals or cultivation resources, you can." ”
Jia Kui said with a serious face: "From now on, you are the firearms purchasing officer in my Zhejiang army, responsible for the sale and purchase of firearms. If the firearms you buy in the future play a vital role on the battlefield, then it will not be a problem for you at all. ”
The foreign woman paused, glanced at the man beside her, and said, "Can I take over the position of purchasing officer? I can assist him in completing the purchase of firearms." ”
......
......
The Han Dynasty was vast, and compared with the Ming Dynasty, although it was not a drop in the ocean, it was at best an ordinary provincial capital's land area.
It is precisely because of the vast land that there will be a place like the 100,000 Great Mountain, and the academy will choose to choose the place where it will take root in this dynasty.
When receiving the task in the mission hall, Ning Caichen did not pay attention to the location of the mission. When he packed everything and was about to set off, he was surprised to find that the nine tasks he received were all in the Han Dynasty.
From the academy, he rode the winged Pegasus to the foot of Shuanghu Mountain, Ning Caichen had just gotten off the car, and the coachman drove the carriage away from here, as if he didn't want to stay here for a while.
Ning Caichen raised his middle finger at the sky speechlessly, and secretly cursed a coward in his heart. Even if those 300 ringing horses happen to come out, can they still catch up with you driving the winged Pegasus?
For these three hundred ringing horses, Ning Caichen did not walk up openly, denounce their sins, and then pick three hundred with the idea of one by one. Instead, he opened the invisibility ring, hid his figure, and walked silently towards the mountain.
Whether it's to get merit or exchange points, it doesn't say that you have to kill the opponent openly to get it. Therefore, Ning Caichen chose the most labor-saving and safest method, stealth assassination.
The information given by the school said that there were three hundred ringing horses on this peak, but when Ning Caichen really climbed to the top of the mountain, he found that there were more than three hundred, there were more than eight hundred ringing horses here, and there must be nearly a thousand people.
Looking at the longing cottage of the figure, thinking of the reward for completing this task, twenty credits, Ning Caichen felt bad all over.
In other words, can't those people in the mission hall come out to investigate? With so many people, at least they have to raise the reward credits to three hundred, so they can barely correspond, right? )
