Chapter 98 Sun Chuanting buys weapons
Sun Chuanting sat in the study of the governor's yamen, and on the table was the transfer order from the Ministry of War.

His face was very pale, his brows were furrowed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Sometimes stand up, sometimes sit down, sometimes scratch your head, sometimes sigh.

It's like fidgeting like a light on your back.

Looking to the north, I don't know if he is thinking of Sun Jie, or he is thinking of building slaves.

After a long time, he walked out of the Yamen.

With a dozen or so attendants, he stepped on his horse and headed towards Fuping.

He was about to set off soon, rushing to deploy defenses near the capital in mid-July.

There is not much time left for him, and he does not know how long it will take to come back after leaving.

It was not easy for Shaanxi to restore peace. If it were to be ravaged again, the consequences would only be worse.

Today, the unstable factor is Sun Jie.

He was afraid that if he left, Sun Jie would start to stir up trouble and create chaos again.

So I want to settle these things as soon as I can before leaving.

He didn't know whether he could solve this matter, but he just thought about it in his heart.

Besides that, there is another purpose.

Sun Jie's army is elite, and the armor and weapons on his body are the most powerful in the world.

It would be best if you could get some.

The official roads outside the Xi'an Mansion are much better than before, and Sun Jie had someone repair some of them.

Going north, there are more and more various earth slopes and earthen walls, but the roads in between are very smooth.

Walking on this road, the speed is much faster.

Those Yebushou cruising around Fuping Fort soon found them.

Sun Jie can now be regarded as one of the Ming Dynasty's official army ranks, but he is essentially two of them.

Now that the officers and soldiers suddenly appear here, it is inevitable to be suspicious.

These nights were not accepted and soon stopped these officers and soldiers, and they stood in front of Sun Chuanting.

"Who are you? What are you going to do?!"

A night does not accept soldiers, riding a horse to stop in front.

Holding a "Single Soldier Air Thunder" in his hand, he aimed at Sun Chuanting and the others.

There are also three or four nights like him behind him.

This single soldier's air thunder is much more powerful than the firecrackers of this era. What is contained in it is not a solid projectile, but a small bomb that can explode.

The individual air thunder is smaller, and there is a shoulder rest on the back, which can be placed on the shoulder.

The traditional fire cap is used for excitation, which can be done by ordinary firecracker factories.

This is the reason for the "fried chip" revolver toy gun that I played when I was a child.

It is somewhat similar to the firecracker, but there are essential differences.

This empty thunder is disposable and cannot be reused.

Smaller in size and weight than the firecrackers of this era, it is simple to activate and powerful.

It mainly relies on the fragments produced when the projectile explodes to kill the enemy, instead of relying on the kinetic energy of the projectile to kill the enemy like the firecracker.

Every night it is not accepted to carry a dozen or so, and then bring a dozen grenades and incendiary bombs.

With these things in place, you can handle almost everything you encounter so far.

These things were recently brought by Sun Jie from modern times.

As for making guns, why bother.

It's better to wait for the opportunity in the future and go abroad for a while.

Now these things are enough, but it is not so urgent.

Sun Chuanting looked at the empty thunder in his hands for the past few nights, although he didn't respond on the surface, but he was extremely shocked in his heart.

Not everyone can play firecrackers.

There are so many troops in Ming Dynasty, and there are only a handful of teams worthy of firecrackers.

Even in Liaodong, the firecrackers used are basically three-eyed blunderbusses.

This kind of fire is extremely backward, with slow excitation speed and limited range.

Sun Chuanting's army also has firecrackers, but there are only a handful of them.

The "fire blunderbuss" in his hands these few nights looked very elite, which inevitably shocked Sun Chuanting.

There were so many weird things in the previous battle, and now there are such firecrackers, the mood is getting more and more complicated.

"I am Sun Chuanting, governor of Shaanxi. You are General Sun's soldiers, right? Tell your General Sun that Sun Chuanting has something to see!"

When he calmed down, his words were full of modest words.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was the law of the jungle, whoever had the biggest fist was right.

Having suffered Sun Jie's defeat before, his attitude is naturally much more submissive.

"It turned out to be you guys, waiting here, we're going to report!"

These few nights did not charge horses to leave.

There is no need to be afraid of Sun Chuanting and the others running around, there are large and small Ye Bucha all over the vicinity.

……

Waiting until dusk, those Yebushou who had left reappeared at the end of the earth.

They took Sun Jie's order and took Sun Chuanting and the others to the city.

It was already dark, in the front hall of the general's mansion.

Sun Jie sat on the main seat, looked at Sun Chuanting who was sitting next to him, and said with a smile, "Master Sun is here today, what are you talking about?"

Sun Chuanting's face was calm, and he said: "The imperial court has sent an order, and in a few days they will lead the army northward to the capital.

Once I leave, only your family will be left in Shaanxi.I hope you can focus on the overall situation and the people of Shaanxi! "

Sun Jie's expression changed, it was obvious that he didn't believe what he said.

The smile on his face disappeared, and his voice sank a bit, "It seems that in the eyes of Mr. Sun, I will never be able to get rid of my identity as a traitor!"

"Jiannu knocked on Jinzhou, so I had to go north to fortify the capital. General Sun is originally a son of Shaanxi, so I think he should focus on the elders of Shaanxi!"

Sun Chuanting repeated to himself.

Sun Jie didn't speak any more.

The atmosphere suddenly stagnated.

The moonlight shone into the hall, like hoarfrost on the ground.

The desk lamp on the table was silently on, and Sun Chuanting's eyes came to the desk lamp.

After a long time, Sun Chuanting said again: "This time, I have something to ask for!"

"What's the matter?!" Sun Jie asked.

"Can you sell some of the weapons in General Sun's army?!"

Sun Chuanting was a little worried, with an uneasy expression on his face.

Sun Jie was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect Sun Chuanting to say such a thing.

You can understand it if you think about it carefully.

He fought against Sun Chuanting's army that day, and he had also experienced the power of the weapon in Sun Jie's hands.

After all, Jiannu is not a thief, and his strength should not be underestimated.

If you can buy some weapons from Sun Jie, it will be safer for the war.

"Buy some weapons? Master Sun's words made me a little dazed!" Sun Jie said.

"Hehe, it's ridiculous! The weapons in my lord's army are all powerful and extraordinary. If Mr. Sun wants to buy them, why should my lord sell them to you?"

Standing next to Sun Jie, Chen Hu looked at Sun Chuanting with dissatisfaction.

Sun Chuanting was not annoyed, he had to bow his head under the eaves.

If you can buy Sun Jie's weapons, what's the point of being angry?

"The imperial court is in decline, and the military is exhausted. The entire imperial court has only soldiers from the north to fight. It seems that the imperial court has a million troops. It is possible that the total number of soldiers in battle is not 10.

Every time Jiannu broke through and entered, the officers and soldiers either hesitated or fled in all directions.If there is no powerful weapon, I am afraid the result will be even worse! "

Sun Chuanting did not answer Chen Hu's question, but talked about the difficulties of the current imperial court on his own.

Coming here this time, I have already prepared for humiliation.

His posture is very low, where is his usual unruly look?

After a long time, Sun Jie knocked on the table and looked at Sun Chuanting, "It's not impossible to sell weapons to Mr. Sun, but I have one condition!"

Sun Chuanting's eyes brightened instantly.

"What conditions?"

I started to feel uneasy again, afraid that there was no way to accept the condition Sun Jie proposed.

Sun Jie said word by word, "If you want weapons, you can exchange them with land and people. Around Fuping County, around Xi'an Prefecture, and around Yaozhou, ten mu of land is exchanged for a soldier's weapon.

These include, a suit of armor, a spear, a helmet, and a grenade.

If it is the common people, three able-bodied men will exchange for one pair of weapons, four strong women will exchange for one pair of weapons, and five children will be exchanged. "

Sun Chuanting and Sun Jie had fought each other, so they naturally knew what the grenade was.

This configuration is indeed attractive.

Now that disasters continue in Shaanxi, and the land and population are large, this is a good deal.

Sun Jie thought about asking Sun Chuanting for money, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it.

Sun Chuanting is so poor, how much money can he have?
Might as well ask for something practical.

These things that Sun Jie wanted were actually dispensable.

With soldiers in hand, these lands will be acquired sooner or later.

With the help of Qin Shang to attract people here, there is not a shortage of people.

How should I put it, after all, Sun Chuanting is a well-known loyal minister in history.

In the era of mud and sand in the late Ming Dynasty, it was really not easy to die on the battlefield and serve the country and the people.

At any rate, they are better than [-] boys like Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou.

"Then, what about the artifact that flies in the sky? What is the price?!"

Sun Chuanting was still thinking about the drone.

That's right, that thing is really powerful, and it's much better to detect the enemy's situation than to not accept it at night.

"Don't even think about this thing, no matter how much it costs, I won't sell it!" Sun Jie directly refused, which made him die.

Seeing that Sun Jie was so decisive, he didn't ask any more questions.

"It's just that there are still a few grenades, can you give me a few more?" Sun Chuanting wanted to fight for it.

"Two at most, no more!"

"Okay, it's a deal!"

……

A few days later, Sun Chuanting set off with soldiers and horses.

This time there were many more weapons in the army, five hundred sets of armor, five hundred spears, and one thousand grenades.

With these things, Sun Chuanting felt much at ease.

Soon after, Sun Chuanting led the troops to the vicinity of the capital.

He wanted to go to the city to meet Chongzhen, but he was ruthlessly rejected.

Let Sun Chuanting lead the army and station in Changping, waiting for follow-up orders.

As for why this is so, it is the credit of Cao Huachun and Yang Sichang.

The two people were very guilty, and they were afraid that Sun Chuanting would be careless in front of Chongzhen, so they bewitched Chongzhen and let Sun Chuanting station in Changping.

Sometimes Chongzhen didn't have any opinions at all, and he agreed after being fooled three times and two times.

Hong Chengchou was stationed in Huairou, northeast of Changping, and the distance between the two was not very far.

As for Lu Xiangsheng, he hasn't come yet.

In May, his father passed away, and now he is in mourning.

In ancient times, when the relatives and elders of officials passed away, they had to go back to their hometown to observe mourning for three years, which was for Ding You.

It is extremely important for Ming to rule the world with filial piety.

Of course, there are special cases.

The emperor can force officials to take office, which is called Duoqing.

However, this is generally not done, as it violates the principles of ethics, unless it is absolutely necessary.
