Borrow the day to change the day

On the ship returning to Daming, many captains of Jinyiwei were still puzzled by these days' mysterious changes, and Wang Yijian, a hundred householder of Jinyiwei, was also among these confused people.

He couldn't help but found an opportunity to ask Sun Chuanting alone: ​​"You admit that you set the fire and you are not afraid of the Japanese becoming angry. Is it really bad for us? After all, the fire was not small."

Sun Chuanting successfully completed the mission and was in a good mood, so he explained to him: "Before coming here, I have studied the Japanese and found that they are bullying in their bones. When China was strong, they were very humble. There have been many proofs since Tang Dynasty.”

Wang Yijian realized something, and said with a little surprise: "So we are so strong, they can't figure out the situation, are they afraid?"

Sun Chuanting nodded, then shook his head and said, "No matter what, if it weren't for my great military power before the Ming Dynasty, no matter how strong we acted, it would be useless. Do you think that if we were North Korean envoys, this would have happened?"

Wang Yijian shook his head with a smile. If the North Korean envoy dared to do this, he would have been thrown into the sea by the Japanese.

He found that when people face external forces, if the motherland is strong, it will not only strengthen the waist, but also have many corresponding benefits.

However, Sun Chuanting did not expect that Ke Jianichiro was actually a member of Tokugawa Hidetada.He was ordered by him to disclose the news of Jianlu to Sun Chuanting.It's just that none of them expected that Sun Chuanting would be so ruthless that he set fire to it.

In addition, what Sun Chuanting did not expect was that this trip to Japan was one of the most important events in his life.He still doesn't know some things, so he doesn't understand the benefits brought to Daming by the result of this mission.It was not until many years later that he understood why the imperial court promoted him by leapfrogging him.

Of course, the imperial court didn't know the results of his mission to Japan at this time, and they were discussing other things in the Wenhua Palace at this time.

"Yang Qing, you are the Minister of the Ministry of War, do you think you should agree to Master Sun's request?" Emperor Chongzhen patted the memorial on the imperial case lightly, and then asked Yang Hedao.

Not long after Yang He took office as Minister of the Ministry of War, he respected Xiao Shenwei and thought for a while before replying: "Your Majesty, I think the reason Sun Gelao proposed to set up an ordnance supervisor in Jinzhou is indeed reasonable. The capital is far away from the front line. Starting from the capital will consume a lot of manpower and material resources."

When he said this, Hou Zhongxing, who caught sight of him from the corner of his eyes, seemed to be frowning, and he couldn't help being surprised.

After Yang He came to the capital, he heard various deeds of Zhongxing Hou, and he put Zhongxing Hou in an important place in his heart.

Now he turned his mind a little bit, and saw that Emperor Chongzhen was asking Zhongxing Hou for a question, so he immediately added: "But I just came back from Qin, and I am not familiar with the Liaodong War. I suggest that Your Majesty can consult Yu Marquis Zhongxing, he has great victories against the captives and knows a lot. His suggestion should be the most pertinent."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen nodded slightly.No matter what, he is still very satisfied with Yang He's modest attitude, and he will not pretend to understand like Liang Tingdong before him, and draw random conclusions.

On the other hand, Wen Tiren, the chief assistant of the cabinet, looked at Yang He and said secretly that he was an old trick.

Of course, the Emperor Chongzhen didn't know what his subordinates were thinking, so he turned to Zhong Jinwei and asked, "Master Zhong, what do you think?"

Zhong Jinwei had an idea just now, and now that Emperor Chongzhen asked him, he immediately replied: "Your Majesty, I do not agree."

"Oh, why is that?"

Emperor Chongzhen was quite curious when he heard Zhong Jinwei bluntly made such a conclusion.In fact, he himself, like Yang He, was in favor of setting up an ordnance supervisor in Jinzhou.

Seeing the expressions of several people in the hall, Zhong Jinwei seemed rather surprised, so he explained: "Your Majesty, Lord Sun asked for the establishment of an ordnance supervisor in Jinzhou. The main purpose is because the Dalinghe City will be built and a large number of city fire artillery will be needed. And My Ming Dynasty now has two ways of casting cannons. Among them, the old mud-cast cannons have to be eliminated. If the Jinzhou Ordnance Supervision uses this method, it will not only take time, but also have a very low pass rate of cannons, so a lot of manpower will be wasted Material resources are not cost-effective."

"Yes, if an ordnance supervisor is set up in Jinzhou, of course the new casting method will be used." Emperor Chongzhen nodded in agreement.

With the new cannon casting method, of course no one in power is willing to waste manpower and material resources to use the old cannon casting method, there is no doubt about it.

Zhong Jinwei also nodded in response: "Since the new cannon-casting method is going to be used, it means that more people will know about this cannon-casting method. What if it is leaked?"

As soon as Zhong Jinwei said this, several people in the Wenhua Palace understood why Zhong Jinwei did not agree with the establishment of an ordnance supervisor in Jinzhou.

"This new casting method is not technically difficult to put it bluntly. As far as the current craftsman level is concerned, if others know the name, they can figure it out by themselves. Therefore, I dare not imagine that if we go to Jinzhou to set up an ordnance supervisor, this new casting method Can the artillery technique be preserved?"

When Zhong Jinwei said this, his face was solemn and his tone was very serious.When Emperor Chongzhen, Wen Tiren and Yang He heard this, they all became serious. This matter is really easy to think about.

Zhong Jinwei did not intend to give up on this, and continued: "Jinzhou is on the front line. If Jianlu works carefully and steals the new cannon casting method, then Jianlu will definitely bring siege cannons when he comes to attack Daming's city in the future. Then there are How many cities can be defended without being bombarded by Jianlu's cannons?"

Emperor Chongzhen listened to Zhong Jinwei's words, and thought that if what Master Zhong said really happened, except for a few fortified cities with heavy soldiers and artillery, all other cities would fall.If Jianlu carried siege cannons when he attacked the capital at the beginning of the year, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Thinking of this, cold sweat began to appear on Emperor Chongzhen's forehead.If Master Zhong was not here today, and he was just discussing with other courtiers, he might simply agree to the establishment of an ordnance supervisor in Jinzhou because of the manpower and material resources spent on transportation.

Unexpectedly, Zhong Jinwei was not finished, and continued: "I asked Gonza from the Portuguese army. At present, there is no such new casting method in Europe, and it is still clay mold casting. Therefore, this new casting method is exactly what I surpassed with the Great Firearms. If the sharp weapon of the West is leaked out, there will be one less magic weapon to defeat the enemy in the future when confronting the strong enemy in the West. In this way, it will inevitably affect the feudal overseas national policy of the feudal lord, and it will inevitably affect the process of Ming Dynasty's struggle for world hegemony .”

Emperor Chongzhen broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this. He knew the new cannon-casting method was good, so when he first saw the new cannon-casting method, he immediately ordered it to be kept secret, and the grade was still first class.But no matter what, their sense of secrecy is not as strong as that of Zhong Jinwei from later generations, so there is an inadvertent negligence.

In the original history, Jinzhou set up an ordnance supervisor, directly casting cannons on the front line, and in the end it was cheaper for Jianlu.
