total war broken

Chapter 447 The only advantage

Beijing, Hall of Mental Cultivation, Chongzhen looked at the memorial as high as a mountain in front of him, shook his head and sighed, "Qin Xiaochuan! He openly robbed the great families of Kaifeng," he sighed, with shock and anger in his voice, it is really a shame to rob the great families. Wang Chengen said helplessly, "Your Majesty,"

Chongzhen, who had just experienced the ecstasy of the great victory, heard the memorial of Qin Xiaochuan's looting of the Kaifeng family, and immediately dispelled the joy in his heart, saying: "This Qin Xiaochuan has never listened to discipline. The family of the thief, this time it's better to grab it directly! It's really arrogant!" He looked at the memorial as high as the mountain in front of him and sighed helplessly.

"Your Majesty, although this person has done many things, he still obeys Your Majesty's orders!" Wang Chengen said with a smile, "No matter what he does, he is your Majesty's servant, and he always obeys Your Majesty's orders. Mr. Qin The general still lives in the capital."

"Alas!" Chongzhen shook his head, looked at the memorial in front of him, and said: "His army this time has exceeded 5 people! 5 people! There is one more total soldier under the Ming Dynasty with more than 5 troops!" He With a wry smile.

Suddenly, a man wearing a flying fish suit walked quickly outside, holding a memorial in his hand with a nervous face, and said: "Your Majesty, Qin Xiaochuan sent troops to the three cities in the north of Henan in succession to maintain order and rescue the victims !"

"What!" Chongzhen immediately sat down on the chair with a bang in his head!They lined up the table angrily and said, "How dare he expand his territory so blatantly!"

"No! Your Majesty said, let Your Majesty quickly send the magistrate and others to maintain order." The man in the flying fish suit said, "Because these cities were ransacked by thieves, there were no big households or officials inside, so I did it out of desperation."

"Huh!" Chongzhen softened his tone when he heard this, and said, "Let the other household department dispatch people to go forward! He's still smart!" He was still angry that this behavior of occupying the city without obeying orders made him angry.

"Your Majesty, calm down. In the past, Han Xin helped Liu Bang to defeat the princes from all walks of life, and begged Liu Bang to make him a fake king of Qi. What happened in the end?" Wang Chengen said, Chongzhen sighed and said, "I am not Liu Bang, he is not Han Xin! Never with him, order the Ministry of Households to send officials to occupy these places quickly! His army can be stationed outside the city, but the officials will be dispatched by myself!"

"Your Majesty" Wang Chengen sighed, His Majesty still takes Daming's prestige too seriously, but he will not be flexible. Chongzhen looked at a memorial on the table again, and said: "Qin Xiaochuan is going to play, asking for the soldiers and horses of Nanfang Hong'er Attack Zhang Xianzhong with him?"

"Your Majesty, sacrificing thieves is my confidant's trouble!" Wang Chengen clasped his fists and said, "It would be great if Qin Guogong and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince exterminate Zhang Xianzhong together!"

"Oh?" Chongzhen shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said, "Hong'er, yesterday he wrote to me saying that it is inconvenient to send troops now. It is a critical time for his military training. He also asked me to transport the craftsmen of Beizhili and other local ordnance bureaus to Nanjing as soon as possible. City! He also asked me if the master craftsman in the capital was sent to Qin Xiaochuan by me."

Listening to Chongzhen's laughter, Wang Chengen was also surprised and said, "My slaves also find it strange. This drought and locust plague occurred in Shandong under Qin Xiaochuan's command only a few years ago. It was also robbed by the bandit Houjin. The population is less than 200 million, and the craftsmen have fewer firearms." But it's very sharp. It's even stronger than Jiangnan."

"Yes!" said Xun'er. The other party's firearms master began to think that the system made it so sharp. "Chongzhen said, the Ming Dynasty had a whole set of departments to supervise the manufacture of firearms. However, in the late Ming Dynasty, it became a place for arguing with each other to make money. Zhao Shizhen once invented the Yingyang After the gun cannon, all parties were arguing that he had no choice but to fail to make the last shot of this sharp firearm. "Later, Xun'er changed the firearms system, but the firearms still could not reach the level of the Shandong Army. His self-generating fire device and the bayonet were not even able to be manufactured by any of the skilled craftsmen in Jiangsu and Zhejiang!"

"Yes! Your Majesty, yesterday the Minister of Industry and others also asked whether your Majesty secretly allocated skilled craftsmen from the capital to Shandong," Wang Chengen said.

Chongzhen shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said helplessly, "Assign the craftsmen to Xian'er first! Since Xian'er is unable to go north, Zhang Xianzhong will mobilize Zuo Liangyu, who defeated the Xian thieves several times before!"

"Your Majesty, you can ask the Duke to go with you," Wang Chengen said, cupping his fists.

"Hmph! Could it be that my Ming army can't win the battle without him?" Chongzhen said angrily and left with his sleeves.

****************
"Still can't make it?" With an angry question, Zhu Cihong felt sullen in his heart. Looking at the craftsmen in front of him, they are the most skilled craftsmen in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Guangdong Daming, and said: "You keep saying that you are The most exquisite craftsman in Ming Dynasty, but Qin Xiaochuan can make such a perfect self-igniting fire device in Shandong, a place that has been plagued by natural disasters several times, why can't I do it with all my efforts?"

"Your Majesty, calm down." More than 100 craftsmen nearby knelt down at the same time. Their voices were frightened for fear that the prince in front of them would be angry. They originally lived an extremely miserable life as craftsmen. If the prince in front of them hadn't given them generous treatment, how would they have done it? To be able to live such a comfortable life now.

A middle-aged foreign man with blond hair and blue eyes said strangely: "Impossible, impossible, Europa does not have such a perfect flintlock gun! And this bayonet, it is impossible, no one can make screws so perfect, this kind of The size requirement is that no one can make it unless it is a dwarf." Tang Ruowang joked about the dwarves in European legends.

Everyone on the side bowed their heads and said nothing. Behind the prince, Zhu Hu said, "Oh, Mr. Tang, many people have witnessed this with their own eyes. The firecrackers can get angry without using a matchlock to ignite and pull the trigger. There is never a single shot that fails! It is extremely sharp! "

"I don't think this is realistic." Tang Ruowang said strangely. His Chinese is very good. Looking at the craftsmen around him, he said, "Your Highness, the gentlemen in front of you are even more capable than the craftsmen in Europa. They are my smartest people. I don’t believe anyone can make things that they can’t make.” He said that after coming here, he was always impressed by the wonderful ideas of Ming craftsmen.

So he didn't believe that someone in Shandong could make a self-igniting device, and said: "Last time, a Dutchman told me that people here have weapons like shooting stars. Haha, some people in the north are very superstitious. , they always describe what they see in their dreams as reality or as real.”

"Mr. Tang, you can go and see for yourself to see if it's true or not!" The crown prince snorted and said, looking around at the crowd with dissatisfaction, and said, "How much money does my palace invest in you every month, and you have so much money?" The things made by people are not even as good as those made by others!"

"Your Highness, this Winged Tiger Gun is already the most perfect firearm." Tang Ruowang pointed to the firearm on the side. He was not as scared as other craftsmen, but told his results.

"Hmph! Did you know that Qin Xiaochuan's Yihu blunderbuss has reached the seventh barrel, and even the self-igniting device behind it doesn't need a matchlock!" The prince snorted.

"Impossible, there won't be such a firearm." Tang Ruowang felt that this was impossible, not to mention how the seven tubes were built, but the self-generating device, he thought it was a bit miraculous that such a thing could set fire.

"Hmph! Since I can't reach the quality, let's increase the quantity!" The prince snorted, looked at the fire gun in front of him and said, "How much does this cost per month?"

"Eight hundred." The craftsman held out three fingers with some trembling. The prince shook his head and said, "Not enough! Not enough. My father will mobilize northern craftsmen to come over in a while. I hope to have one thousand, five hundred a month!"

"This?" The craftsman wiped his sweat, and Tang Ruowang took a deep breath and said, "You are making things difficult for your men. Here are the best craftsmen I have ever seen. They have worked hard enough for you, don't you?" They should be punished so harshly!" He felt that these craftsmen were too honest and would not fight for their own rights.

"Hmph!" The prince glared at him. If he hadn't taken his identity into account and wanted to obtain some Western technology from him, he would have driven him away. "I am located in the south. There are no horses, no cavalry, and no tough warriors. The only advantage is firearms! Firearms!"
