Chapter 151
  Chapter [-]

Yu Qian originally wanted to oppose Wang Ying to lead the army and hope to mobilize Guo Sheng or Xu Xianyong to lead the army. They had fought before, and even said that Shi Heng could lead the army. But before he could finish, Gao Gu stood up and objected. Then, other cabinet ministers nodded in agreement with Takatani's statement.

Zhu Qiyu glanced at Yu Qian and sighed inwardly. Yu Qian could not support the court alone, and it was difficult for a tree to support him. Unfortunately, he had not found the right person to support Yu Qian yet.

Zhu Qiyu saw that everyone had made this decision, but he was still a little hesitant in his heart. Yu Qian was the Minister of the Ministry of War, and he had the right to recommend who should be chosen as the general to command the army. So he looked at Yu Qian and asked again: "In your opinion, who should be chosen? "

"Wu Qing Marquis Shi Heng, Cheng'an Marquis Guo Sheng, or Xincheng Bo Zhao Rong, or Xu Xianyong are all fine!" Yu Qian immediately named his candidate.

Chen Xun stroked his beard, glanced at Yu Qian, and said calmly: "Wu Qinghou needs to guard the capital now. Once Yanmen Pass is defeated, Wala's army will march straight into the capital. Wu Qinghou cannot mobilize . Cheng'an Marquis Guo Sheng now also needs to keep an eye on the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion. After all, Wang Ying mobilized the [-]-strong Third Battalion of the Capital Army to dispatch. The other troops in the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion need to be restrained so that Cheng'an Marquis can suppress them. Xincheng I am the former Commander-in-Chief of the Military Governor's Office, and I am leading the third battalion of the capital on the expedition. I am afraid that I am not familiar with the soldiers below. As for Xu Xianyong, I am afraid that he is not good at it either. Only Xu Xianyong from the British lineage can do this!"

When Yu Qian saw Chen Xun looking at him, he knew that this was a warning to him and he could not continue to make suggestions.

After hearing this, Zhu Qiyu nodded and said: "Yu Qian is the Minister of the Ministry of War. I still need to pay attention to his suggestions. Yu Qian, do you think it is feasible to let Wang Ying be the main general and Cheng'an Hou to assist him?"

"Okay, of course this is feasible!" Upon hearing this, Yu Qian nodded immediately and said, if there is the help of Marquis Cheng'an, then there will be an extra chance of winning.

"Then it's settled. The Ministry of War will draft a document and mobilize soldiers! I will give them five days and set off in five days!" Zhu Qiyu saw Yu Qian nodding and knew that this was the only way.

The other ministers saw that Zhu Qiyu had already made up his mind, so they stopped arguing. They knew that arguing was meaningless, but they blamed Yu Qian for this matter. They just wanted to transfer Wang Ying away and let Wang Ying, who had never Let those who have commanded large-scale battles fight this battle. Once Wang Ying fails, the fate of his Wang family will be worse than that of the Sun family, and Wang Ying will become a sinner of the Ming Dynasty. This is extremely helpful in weakening Zhu Qiyu's power.

At this time, Cheng Jing knocked on the door and came in. Zhu Qiyu looked at Cheng Jing. Cheng Jing came in front of Zhu Qiyu, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Admiral Wang is here!"

"What's the matter?" When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he asked, "Why are you here again? There are so many ministers here, and Wang Ying is here at this time?"

"Admiral Wang said that there was something important, and there happened to be so many ministers here. This matter also requires the participation of all the ministers!" Cheng Jing continued to answer Zhu Qiyu with his hands raised.

"Oh!" Zhu Qiyu became even more confused after hearing this. Wang Ying didn't like to deal with those civil servants, but now he wanted those civil servants to participate. How could Zhu Qiyu not be surprised, but he also knew that Wang Ying was not a random person, so He nodded and said: "In that case, Admiral Xuan Wang comes in!"

"Yes!" Cheng Jing went out immediately.

Zhu Qiyu also looked at the ministers and said: "Since Admiral Wang said this, it is probably important, so I will waste some of your time and listen to what Admiral Wang has to do?"

When the ministers heard this, they all answered yes, and then sat there waiting, thinking in their hearts, what could happen to Wang Ying?
  Soon Wang Ying strode in, came to Zhu Qiyu, and saluted: "Your Majesty, Wang Ying, pays homage to you!"

"Well, no courtesy, but what's the matter?" Zhu Qiyu nodded and asked Wang Ying.

"Yes, I have just obtained a weapon. I hope that the three martial arts guards can make it as soon as possible. This weapon will be of great help to us against the cavalry!" Wang Ying said straight to the point, knowing that facing those ministers today would be a tough battle. Whether it works or not depends on now.

Therefore, Wang Ying did not intend to beat around the bush, but said it directly.

"Weapon, what weapon?" Zhu Qiyu was very surprised. Is there any weapon that the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry have not seen?

"A crossbow is a type of crossbow with a fast firing rate and a long range. This time we are going to attack the enemy's Wala cavalry. With the help of this crossbow, we will be able to take advantage. Your Majesty and your lords, please agree!" Wang Ying said and held her hands in front of those civil servants.

"Admiral Wang, there are still a few days left. Is it too late to make weapons now?" Jiang Yuan, Minister of Industry, frowned and looked at Wang Ying and asked.

"Yes, if you follow my method, it can work!" Wang Ying nodded and said. Now he can only say that it is his own method. He does not want Lin Cunde to be known by their civil servants, let alone being remembered by them, so he just You can say it's your own.

Wang Ying also knew that if he said this, he wouldn't be able to hide it for long. It was estimated that someone here would be able to guess it, but he still had to continue to hide it and could not admit it.

"Oh, how?" Jiang Yuan looked at Wang Ying in surprise and asked. As the minister of the Ministry of Industry, of course he was curious.

"This matter will be discussed later. Now we need the approval of the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War. If they agree, then please start preparing for production tonight. I hope to produce [-] tools and [-] arrows within five days!" Wang Ying continued to talk to them. Lin Cunde said he wanted [-] pieces, but Wang Ying only said [-] pieces, which also gave the civil servants room to bargain. "How is it possible, Wang Ying, this is impossible! How can you produce so much in five days?" When Jiang Yuan heard this, he immediately stood up and shouted to Wang Ying.

"Regardless of whether it is possible or not, I just hope that everyone can agree. If you agree, I can send people to supervise the three martial arts guards. But now, I still need the consent of all the ministers!" Wang Ying did not want to argue on this issue. On the way here just now, Wang Ying read what Lin Cunde wrote and clapped her hands all the way. She thought to herself that her son-in-law could think of such ideas.

"Well, what kind of crossbow is it? Bring it in and take a look!" Zhu Qiyu said to Wang Ying, and now he was also curious.

"This, Your Majesty, is a murderous weapon. Moreover, I want to try it for Your Majesty in person. I would like to ask Your Majesty and the ministers to move over and make a decision after reading it!" Wang Ying clasped her fists at Zhu Qiyu and said respectfully.

"Okay, let's go and have a look!" Zhu Qiyu said without hesitation. He trusted Wang Ying and knew that if he could come with this weapon at this time, it would definitely be of great use. Moreover, Zhu Qiyu didn't have to think about it. I know that these weapons must have been made by Lin Cunde.

The ministers saw that Zhu Qiyu had gone out, and everyone followed him out. Yu Qian was also very curious and wanted to know what kind of weapon Lin Cunde had made. Although Wang Ying did not say who made it, Yu Qian didn't have to think about it. He just identified it as Lin Cunde. Made.

Soon they arrived outside. Wang Ying picked up a crossbow, pulled the string, loaded the arrow, and pulled the trigger at the tree that was almost fifty feet tall. With a hiss, the arrow flew over quickly and struck hard. Pricked in the tree trunk.

And Wang Ying did not look at everyone's surprised reactions. She continued to pull the string, loaded the arrows, pulled the trigger, and continued to pull the string. In this way, Wang Ying pulled the trigger five times in succession towards the big tree in the distance, and five arrows were fired. All the arrows shot into the big tree.

"Okay!" Zhu Qiyu shouted very happily when he saw that it was so fast and had such a long range.

"What a crossbow!" Yu Qian also smiled and touched his beard and said very happily.

However, Chen Xun, other cabinet ministers, and Jin Lian, the Minister of Household Affairs, did look solemn, and Jiang Yuan was indeed a little excited.

"Admiral Wang, do you have the drawings?" Zhu Qiyu asked Wang Ying happily at this moment.

"Yes, the drawings are in my arms!" Wang Ying replied immediately. At the same time, she put the crossbow away and handed the arrows to Cheng Jing.

"Okay, Jiang Yuan, you can make it according to the drawings immediately!" Zhu Qiyu said happily.

Chen Xun and the others were very anxious and immediately winked at Jin Lian. Jin Lian immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, no!"

"Why not?" Zhu Qiyu immediately stared at Jin Lian and asked.

Jin Lian didn't think of why he couldn't do it. He only came out to say it because Chen Xun winked at him.

When Chen Xun saw Jin Lian's hesitation, he immediately stood up, raised his hands to Zhu Qiyu and said, "Your Majesty, although Admiral Wang said it could be produced, I think it is impossible. Moreover, making [-] of these crossbows, plus arrows, It costs a lot, but now that the expedition is about to begin, we don’t have that much money!”

"The money comes from my inner treasury, and there is still money in the inner treasury!" Zhu Qiyu said without thinking, knowing that if he had to argue with the Ministry of Revenue, the time would be delayed. It is indeed a bit difficult to make [-] pieces in five days. , he looked at Jin Lian and asked, "Do you still have any questions?"

"This, if so, there is no problem!" Jin Lian immediately answered with his hands raised, thinking that if the money matter was solved, what problems would he still have?

"Is there any problem with the Ministry of Industry making [-] tools?" Zhu Qiyu turned to look at Jiang Yuan and asked.

"Your Majesty, yes. First of all, I took a preliminary look at this crossbow. The craftsmanship is complex and it may not be that simple for craftsmen to make. Therefore, I estimate that it will be difficult to make a thousand crossbows in five days!" Jiang Yuan stood up and handed over his hand. He said that he had just made an estimate and estimated that it was about a thousand. However, if he gave himself a month, he could make [-]. After all, once the craftsman is familiar with it, he would move much faster.

"Can make [-] tools, Jiang Shangshu, do you think this method is feasible?" Wang Ying said, taking out what Lin Cunde wrote and handing it to Jiang Yuan.

Yu Qian glanced to the side and found that it was Lin Cunde's handwriting. Now, basically every ten days, Lin Cunde will hand over an article to Yu Qian. Yu Qian is very familiar with Lin Cunde's handwriting. This glance just now is also to verify himself. thoughts in mind.
