Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 676 If people don't save themselves, who can save them?
Huitong Hall is not too far from the Yamen of Honglu Temple, but it is not close either.

Therefore, when Jin and Cui saw a four-wheeled carriage parked outside the gate of the meeting hall.Its decoration and listing show that it is dedicated to Honglu Temple.

The two of them got into the carriage together with the green-robed official, sat down, the groom gave a soft cry, and the horses pulled the four-wheeled cart forward steadily, not at a slow speed.

The two had been in Nanjing for more than two years, and they had seen a four-wheeled carriage a long time ago, and even made a public four-wheeled carriage several times.

Even so, the two of them couldn't help sighing secretly every time they took a ride: Probably only Ming Dynasty, who was the kingdom of heaven, could build such a good carriage.

This four-wheeled carriage is not only much wider than the two-wheeled one, but also very stable. Even when driving on a dirt road, the bumps are not so big that it is not unbearable.

In addition, its steering is flexible and labor-saving-someone in Nanjing City once conducted an experiment in which the old-fashioned two-wheeled carriage and the four-wheeled carriage carried the same weight and were pulled by the same horse on the same road.It takes less time to run the same distance in a four-wheeled carriage.

Of course, compared with electric lights, trains, iron-clad steamships and the legendary "divine bird", carriages are nothing...
Sitting in a four-wheeled carriage, Jin and Cui quickly arrived at the Yamen of Honglu Temple. After getting off the carriage, they were led by a green-robed official, and walked through the corridor to a courtyard inside.

The green-robed officer first went in to report, and then led the two of them in.

Entering the room, the two couldn't help squinting slightly.

Now, when you see me defeating the Qing captives in the Ming Dynasty, you will become a vassal of the Ming Dynasty again.Such repeated horizontal jumps, is it what the vassals should do? "

One of them is Yuan Shu, the current Shaoqing of Honglu Temple in the Ming Dynasty. There are also a red-robed official and a green-robed official.

Immediately there was a burst of joy—Da Ming was willing to sell weapons, it was better than doing nothing.

But this is the cost, and if it is sold, it will definitely increase the price.

This magic weapon capable of generating electricity was originally only used in the Forbidden City, but it began to be used in various important government-run factories in Nanjing the year before last, and it was also used in various important government offices in Nanjing this year.

Of course, the small amount of money sold to the Zhungeer Ministry and the Korean matchlock guns was not taken seriously by Aimee Zhu and the Ming court, but it was just a matter of convenience during the strategic layout.

"Why, don't you buy it when the price is too high?" Jing Hui asked indifferently, without waiting for the two to answer, he said again: "Don't worry, since His Majesty said to help North Korea, he will naturally sell it to you at a low price.

Looking away from the lamp, the two noticed the people in the room and found three people present.

These matchlock guns were said to be replaced by the new army, but they were never equipped.It costs ten taels to sell one to the Zhungeer Ministry, and only six taels for the cost of selling one to you. "

With my Ming guns in hand, if North Korea still dare not resist the Qing captives, then I can’t blame my Ming for not thinking about the good friendship between the two countries in the past. "

Kim Hyo-sung looked up, didn't there are two "little suns" hanging on the roof?That is, electric lights.

However, there was not a single candle lit in this room, but it was bright as if under a small sun.

As for the portable lamp used by the Guards for patrolling, the two looked at it many times, but they dared not look closely because of awe.

He said with bitterness on his face: "Elder Ge doesn't know something. Now that North Korea is under the control of the Qing captives, it is really difficult to get rid of it by ourselves. The only way to do it is to ask the help of the upper kingdom."

The two green-robed officials did not know each other.

After speaking, Ma Shiying got up and left directly.

Jin Xiaocheng had to explain again: "North Korea is a small country with little strength. At that time, the Qing captives invaded the capital, and the lives of the monarchs and ministers were all in the hands of the captive chiefs. It is helpless to surrender to the Qing. Please forgive me."

So they greeted Ma Shiying and Jing Hui again.

The two had been active in Nanjing for more than two years, and naturally they had inquired about the appearance of some important ministers of Zhaowu. At this moment, they immediately recognized that the red-robed official was Ma Shiying, the second assistant.

After the ceremony, Ma Shiying said in a slightly majestic tone: "North Korea is a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, and has been friendly for many years. However, since the ninth year of Chongzhen, you have rebelled against the Ming Dynasty and turned to the Qing Dynasty, and helped the Qing captives attack my Ming Dynasty. Even if there is a reason for the incident, it is an unforgivable crime.

Therefore, Daming currently makes a lot of profit from selling matchlock guns.

Hearing that Ma Shiying came up and asked the crime, while Kim Hyo-sung and Cui Wenxiu were nervous, their hearts were also full of bitterness.

At this time, Lang Zhong Jinghui of the Military Supplies Division said: "At present, our Military Supplies Division has [-] matchlock guns, [-] tiger crouching cannons (cast iron), and [-] Frang machines (cast iron).

Yuan Shu smiled and bowed his hands to return the gift, and then introduced: "This is the Minister of the Ministry of Finance of the Ming Dynasty, the second assistant of the cabinet, Mr. Ma Ge, and the one next to me is Jing Langzhong, the Military Supplies Department of the Military Affairs Academy."

It is only because His Majesty wants to give you a chance to repent because he thinks that the two countries have had good relations for hundreds of years.

Not to mention that the price of each is nearly ten taels high, it is not easy to use.

Today is a cloudy day, and the sky is not too bright. There are many buildings and trees in Honglu Temple, so the light is even dimmer. In the daytime, the room needs to be lit with candles to process official documents.

Now under the leadership of Zhu Yuxi, Daming already has a good military industry. The matchlock guns it makes are not only easier to use than before, but the cost is also greatly reduced. The more you make, the lower the average price.There are more than [-] pieces, and the average one only needs two taels of silver.

Because what Ma Shiying said is reasonable-you North Korea wants to get rid of the control of the Qing Dynasty, but you don't save yourself, you want to completely rely on Daming, how is that possible?

Jin Xiaocheng tentatively asked: "Excuse me, Mr. Jing, how much are the matchlock guns, tiger squatting guns, and Frangji?"

These words left Jin and Cui speechless again.

Considering North Korea's current financial situation, the two became worried again.

If you North Korea want it, you should hand over the payment as soon as possible. If it is too late, we will sell it to the Wala Jungar Department. "

Historically, during the Chongzhen period in the late Ming Dynasty, the cost of a finely crafted matchlock gun (bird gun) was about 5 taels.

Jin and Cui did not know the current cost of matchlock guns in Ming Dynasty, but they knew the cost of matchlock guns in North Korea.

Jin and Cui didn't know how to explain, so they thought that Ma Shiying summoned them this time to clarify Ming Dynasty's attitude of refusing to help North Korea, and they couldn't help feeling disheartened.

Jin Xiaocheng and Cui Wenxiu didn't expect such a result, and they were a little dazed for a while.

Today, our new Ming army has replaced some guns, which can be sold to North Korea at a low price to fight against the Qing Dynasty.

Daming is going to sell weapons to North Korea?
Kim Hyo Sung and Choi Moon Soo finally came to their senses.

This time it was Cui Wenxiu's turn to explain.

However, after a while of silence, Ma Shiying cupped his hands to the side again, and said: "Your Majesty is kind, I can't bear to see the Korean people being oppressed and slaughtered by the Qing captives, so I will give you a little help first.

Ma Shiying cupped his hands to the side, and said: "Your Majesty has long said that the officials who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty cannot be forgiven. How can it be forgiven for North Korea's surrender to the Qing Dynasty?

Ma Shiying snorted coldly: "If people don't save themselves, who can save them?!"

If it really depends on Da Ming to turn the crisis into safety, then what is the need for the existence of North Korea?

But two or three years have passed, and you and the others have not even been able to draw a clear line with the Qing captives and clarify your attitude of resisting the Qing. How can I, the emperor and minister of the Ming Dynasty, believe that you and the others have the intention of reforming? "

The Huitong Hall was not one of the important yamen, so it was the first time for both Jin and Cui to see electric lights hanging on the roof.

He has long heard that Empress Zhaowu brought magic weapons from the fairy world, which can generate electricity to drive electric lights, divine birds and other magic weapons.

At the same time, relevant officials can also be allowed to practice how to make money by selling arms.

What's more, the firearms of the Ming Dynasty are notoriously easy to use. Even the matchlock guns replaced by the new army of the Ming Dynasty may be better than those made by the barbarians and North Korea.

But the two were very cautious. At this time, they only saluted Yuan Shu who had dealt with them before, "North Korean envoy Jin Xiaocheng/Cui Wenxiu met Yuan Shaoqing."

Therefore, they couldn't help but be overjoyed when they heard Jing Hui's offer for the matchlock gun.

Then the two asked expectantly the prices of the Tiger Crouching Cannon and the Francophone.

　Second more.

　　The network was disconnected for a while at night, which scared me to death.

　　Good night~
