Chapter 386 What are you afraid of?
Huang Taiji held the letter sent by the messenger, unable to speak for a long time.

So much so that the letter fell to the ground, and he didn't notice it. 2000 people disappeared in a few breaths. This was the first time he heard of such a thing. Deep in his heart, he felt an inexplicable sense of fear It wasn't the fear of Mao Wenlong, nor the Ming army, nor the fear of hand grenades. Huang Taiji couldn't tell what it was, but he clearly felt it.

"Profuse sweat, profuse sweat?" Fan Wencheng has been following Huang Taiji's side, seeing the letter sent by a fast horse, he has an ominous premonition in his heart, and seeing his own profuse sweat read the letter, he is even more distraught In this way, you know something big happened.

"Oh..., Xiandou! Ben Khan has lost his composure..." Huang Taiji withdrew his sad face and said, watching the letter in his hand fall to the ground, he didn't pick it up, but said weakly: "Xian Dou take a look at this letter, Ben Khan has no clue now!" After reading the letter, Huang Taiji's head was blank, and the inexplicable fear in his heart has been lingering in his heart, Huang Taiji tried his best to think I can't remember what I am facing and why I am so afraid.

Mao Wenlong lured the East Road Amin army to Zhenjiang Fort by deception, and then killed 2000 of them in just a few breaths. Huang Taiji couldn't believe it, didn't dare, and didn't want to believe it. Huang Taiji understood the thunder and flint explosion mentioned in it. Mao Wenlong used a grenade. He already knew about the grenade in the Ming Dynasty, and even got a grenade from the Ming Dynasty, but what he never expected was , This kind of grenade is actually thrown thousands of at a time, which is completely beyond his understanding of warfare. If he shoots thousands of arrows at a time, he can imagine, but, that kind of iron bumps of several kilograms, one The Ming Dynasty dared to throw thousands of iron lumps that cost a lot of money at a time. Is this a war?It's like throwing money at you!Hasn't Mao Wenlong always been poor?Why is war so extravagant now?Huang Taiji was puzzled, where did the sense of fear in his heart come from?
Fan Wencheng picked up the letter and read it carefully. This letter introduced in detail the whole process of Amin, the East Route Army, dealing with Mao Wenlong, from being tricked to being killed by a grenade in a few seconds. Fan Wencheng's veins twitched wildly, the world is too crazy, he has seen that grenade before, don't you want money?Throwing thousands at a time...

After thinking for a long time, the blue veins on Fan Wencheng's neck calmed down slightly, he swallowed hard and spit, and said, "Khan, I didn't expect that thing to be so useful. Lied! I still underestimated the emperor of the Ming Dynasty! Nanming dared to take the lead this time, and dared to launch an attack on the ground thousands of miles away, but he still hid some tricks!" Fan Wencheng had to sigh with emotion, they had seen I have personally tested the power of the grenade. Although I paid attention to this thing, I still did not expect that the people of the Ming Dynasty would throw thousands of grenades together to achieve the effect of "thunder plow". There is no one who is not afraid.

"...Hey, Xiandou, what should Ben Khan do now? Ben Khan has lost his sense of proportion!" Huang Taiji was in a state of confusion. According to the style of play mentioned in the letter, their big gold is only 20, which is not enough for the Ming Dynasty. How many grenades.

As Huang Taiji's main counselor, Fan Wencheng had some ability to be reused. Although this incident was shocking, he soon calmed down.

"Big Khan, now it's up to Khan what to do? Should he continue beating Mao Wenlong around Zhenjiang Fort, or withdraw his troops..." Fan Wencheng said after thinking for a while.

"Withdraw? Now that the Quartet is extremely unfavorable to my Dajin, how dare Ben Khan withdraw? My Dajin has few strengths and is supported by every battle and victory, just like a drowning person, holding on to hold his breath Once the breath is released, I will be drowned immediately. It is because of this breath that I, Dajin, can gain a foothold outside the Liaodong Pass. It is equivalent to the fact that most of my Dajin's tone has been dissipated. This time I can't defeat the enemy and let Mao Wenlong go. What about next time? I will continue to let it go? Then my Dajin still has a foothold?" Huang Taiji thought It's a mess, but there is still some common sense.

"Da Khan is right. Come to think of it, Erbeile thought the same way. Although he lost 2000 people, he still surrounded Zhenjiang Fort and delivered letters to Da Khan. He must have thought the same thing as Da Khan. To erase Mao Wenlong, to make the Ming Dynasty invincible." Fan Wencheng said.

"It's good that Xiandou understands it. This point is the consensus of my Dajin. Ben Khan understands it, and Erbeile understands it too..." Huang Taiji said.

"...Wen Cheng understands, the rest is how to get rid of Mao Wenlong..." Fan Wencheng said.

"Xiandou is right. What we have to consider now is how to get rid of Mao Wenlong. The Ming Dynasty must not be allowed to win. Otherwise, once the Ming Dynasty wins, the morale will be high, and there will be no fear of me, Dajin. At that time, But it's a bigger loss..." Huang Taiji said unwillingly.

"Khan, Wen Cheng saw what was written in the letter, the grenade can only be thrown forty or fifty paces away, and the grenade will be useless if it is farther... So, Wen Cheng thought, it can be built at a hundred paces higher than the city wall of the Ming Dynasty. Many arrow towers, like this, can suppress the Ming Dynasty throwing grenades..." Fan Wencheng began to think of a way.

"Well, this is indeed good, but Ben Khan also saw that the letter said that the people of the Ming Dynasty did not show their heads at all, and they all hid behind the battlements of the city walls. The grenade, even if it is built an archery tower a hundred paces away, may not be of much use. Ben Khan is curious, how did the Ming Dynasty know the situation of my Dajin attacking the city, and threw the grenade in time..."

Fan Wencheng thought for a while, but couldn't figure it out, and said, "Back to Dahan, I don't know about this Wencheng, but I think it should be a novelty of the Ming Dynasty. I guess it was made by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. This has to be sent to Only by inquiring in detail in the capital of the Ming Dynasty can we find out..."

As soon as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was mentioned, both of them were silent for a while. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty made the grenade, the telescope, the glass, and the large Kongming lantern that carried people. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty really had God bless it?If he has gods and men to protect him, what about us?Shouldn't it be damned?

"That's right, Ben Khan thought the same way. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty made a lot of new gadgets to deal with me, Dajin. You really have to be careful about this. Now that you have suffered a lot from grenades, you can't suffer any more... ..." Huang Taiji broke the silence and said.

The two of them stayed for a while, and Fan Wencheng said: "Khan, Wen Cheng thinks that the Ming Dynasty's grenade tactics are bullying me. Dajin doesn't have cannons. If Khan can use cannons to bombard the city wall, this kind of tactics is not good. It's self-defeating..." Fan Wencheng thought for a while and said.

"Xiandou is right. I am good at cavalry and archery, and I am not good at attacking cities. In the past, it was difficult for me to attack the city. Now that Mao Wenlong has this kind of grenade tactics, it is even more difficult for me to attack the city. To make it even more difficult, Ben Khan also knows how to use cannons to attack the city sharply, but the cannons are not the director of my Daikin! Where did Ben Khan go to find the cannons to attack the city?" Huang Taiji was very disappointed, and Mao Wenlong was now doing it like this. The possibility of them attacking the city is even lower. As long as there are enough grenades in the city, they will not be able to capture the city at all. Even if they can, the casualties will not be able to afford it.

"Did Khan forget? I, Dajin, captured many cannons from the Ming Dynasty in the early years..." Fan Wencheng reminded.

"But, Xiantai, those cannons? They haven't been used for many years, and they can still be used now? Besides, the gunner who operated the cannon? Where can I find the craftsman who made the gunpowder?" Huang Taiji said with a look of embarrassment. The lingering fear has always puzzled Huang Taiji.

"Big Khan. It doesn't matter. As long as the Khan makes a promise and promises a big reward, there will be some knowledgeable Han soldiers and Han people. Wen Cheng thought that he should be able to recruit a lot of gunners and craftsmen from the Han Army. They, those cannons can return to the battlefield, and they can go to fight Mao Wenlong..." Fan Wencheng threw out his idea.

"Okay, this is really worth a try, but now most of those cannons are in Shengjing..." Huang Taiji felt quite powerless, playing with cannons is not their specialty, but this time, there is no better way than using cannons.

"Big Khan, Wen Cheng wants to go back to Shengjing overnight, sort out the cannons in advance, recruit some gunners and craftsmen who can handle the cannons, and go to Zhenjiang Fort with the cannons in advance. It won't be too late to catch up with Wencheng, this way, it can shorten the time it takes to transfer the cannon..." Fan Wencheng suggested.

"Well, okay, then there will be Lao Xiandou. After Ben Khan cleans up Lin Danhan, he will go after Xiandou. In this way, there will be no delay in time..." Huang Taiji said.

"As ordered..." Fan Wencheng agreed.

……

Mao Wenlong's few breaths of thunder in Zhenjiang Fort broke a lot of peace.

The 1 elites from Houjin's east line shrank in Zhenjiang Fort, guarding Mao Wenlong to the death. The more than [-] elites scattered by Mao Wenlong were cheaper, and they plundered Houjin's Niulu Weizi everywhere, or besieged Baozi, and they fought loudly. Powerful.

Mao Wenlong's thunder in Zhenjiang Fort also made Yang Reform's hand grenade made by Da Nei become a "famous brand" in an instant, and his business surged.

"You mean, now in Gyeonggi and Xuanda, many prefectures, guards, and castles are asking you to buy grenades? You can't keep up with that situation now?" Yang Reform summoned Fu Mingde by the side of Taiye Pool, very surprised asked.

Fu Mingde, the director of the Royal Arsenal, came early in the morning to announce the good news to the emperor.A loud noise from Mao Wenlong caused the heads of nearly a thousand Tartars, so the grenade became famous immediately and became popular in many prefectures and counties with weak defenses. Even a woman and a child can do it. In the future, with the defense of the city, even if it is really against the real Tartars, it can be used to fight against the Tartars. Good thing, although I knew about this thing before, but it has not been tested in actual combat. Now there is a loud noise from Mao Wenlong, and in just a few breaths, countless people were killed, and after a while of "flattering" by the courtiers, so The well-informed people immediately flocked to grenades, and wanted to buy grenades for defense. The grenades made by Ouchi immediately became "famous brands."

"Returning to Your Majesty, yes, Marshal Mao killed a lot of Tartars in Zhenjiang Fort. Now, many counties, guards, and forts have come to Beijing. They want to buy grenades to go back. The business is very good. At least It's five thousand, usually more than ten thousand, and the servants are really too busy, so I came here to ask His Majesty for help..." Fu Mingde's eyes were cracked with laughter, the better the business of his military bureau, the better. The higher the status in the eyes of the emperor, the higher the status in the inner court. If the emperor looked at him a few times, he would have face, he would be superior to others, and if he spoke loudly, he would be useful.

Yang Reform was very surprised, and also very surprised. He didn't expect that Mao Wenlong actually gave the grenade a reputation... So, in this way, his military industry can make a lot of money?
Fu Mingde saw that the emperor didn't speak, so he happily continued to act obediently.

"...Your Majesty, it's not a slave bragging. Now the news is spreading to Gyeonggi and Xuanda. If in a few days, I'm afraid that the guards in Shaanxi, the prefectures and counties will come here to buy hand grenades made by Da Nei. Shaanxi has never been very safe, and they have to guard against the Mongols and the rioters. They must need a lot of grenades...Farther, the southern Xinjiang, the southwest... Your Majesty, this grenade, I guessed it, and I was afraid. Millions of dollars! The slaves really can’t keep up..." Fu Mingde was crying and laughing while explaining to the emperor the bright future of his arsenal.

millions?Yang Reform suddenly seemed to understand something, thinking about it, this is a good phenomenon, which shows that some tentacles of the Ming Dynasty have reached into the industrial age, and only in the industrial age will there be such products worth millions being sold Made it.Yang Reform's heart brightened instantly, and he kept nodding his head and said: "Very good, very good..." It seems that the industry he spent to promote the industry has achieved certain results. With the first successful industrial product worth millions, Or quasi-industrial products.With the first one, there will be the second one. More and more industrial and quasi-industrial products will gradually open the door to the industrial age. Maybe the Northern Expedition is still needed, and maybe he will become a "great" emperor who expands the territory inadvertently.

"In this way, then you can expand the scale. You can produce as much as others want. Of course, the quality must be guaranteed. Don't smash the brand made by Ouchi. In addition, you must strictly control the whereabouts of the grenades. Anyone who comes to buy grenades, Be sure to check the official certificates and licenses issued by the local government, don’t let cats and dogs come to buy grenades, understand?” Yang Reform didn’t think too much, and decided to expand the scale. This military industry has taken a big step forward. It is said that once the cannon is fired, there will be ten thousand taels of gold. You can also make money from this war, right?Yang Reform is not afraid that his enemies will take it away. This thing is a consumable. When a war starts, it is simply a dream to fight with the little supplies you have accumulated. How do you fight in the industrial age?The consumption of materials was estimated at hundreds of millions. Yang Reform was not afraid that his opponent would take the grenade away from the dark anyway.

"The servant obeys the order..." Fu Mingde happily agreed.

"Hahaha... Work hard, Fu Mingde, this time you have made a great contribution, and I haven't thought of anything to reward you yet... This jade pendant is what I often wear on my body, so I will reward you with this jade pendant." You..." When Yang Reform was happy, he gave Fu Mingde a jade pendant on his body.

Not only the people around were jealous, even Wang Chengen was a little jealous, this jade, although it was worn by the emperor, was it just rewarded to Fu Mingde like this?
Fu Mingde was stunned for a long time, then cried and said: "... woo woo woo... Your Majesty, this jade is too heavy, I can't bear it... It is the duty of slaves to do your best for your majesty, slaves Dare not to ask for a reward from His Majesty..." Fu Mingde was also taken aback by the emperor's move. The emperor actually gave him a jade pendant, which symbolized the status of the emperor. It goes without saying that the jade pendant is so precious. Although Fu Mingde wanted to ask the emperor for credit and reward, but he never dared to ask for such a thing.

"Hahaha...it's okay, if I say you can afford it, you can afford it. This expansion of the factory, you put your heart into it, don't let me down with this piece of jade...I know best how much credit you have, Don't refuse, just take it..." Yang Reform was in a very comfortable mood. Unintentionally, he actually gave birth to a successful product that could barely be regarded as an industrial product. This was a signal, a signal of the coming of the industrial age. Yang Reform knows best how much productivity and energy the times have. Therefore, this seemingly inconspicuous eunuch is doing something quite "great". Yupei seems to be a bit too much, but in fact, it is not at all compared to what he represents.

Fu Mingde was stunned for a while, he came to see the emperor this time, just to show his face in front of the emperor, to brag about his work, and he would be very satisfied if he could get a good word from the emperor. A jade pendant, this thing is much more than what I expected, he is a eunuch, wearing the jade worn by the emperor, isn't this courting death?How did Jiuqian die?He doesn't want to be the second nine thousand years old.

Wang Chengen wanted to persuade the emperor, but seeing the emperor's serious words, he didn't persuade him anymore. The emperor is not a child anymore, so there must be his reasons for doing so.

"My servant, thank you for your majesty's kindness. This servant will be rewarded by your majesty. I will enshrine this piece of jade in the high hall and worship it day and night..." Fu Mingde saw that the emperor wanted to give that piece of jade wholeheartedly. It was suitable, so I had an idea and came up with a way. Next, I will worship it. In this way, it can be regarded as the best of both worlds...

Yang Reform smiled and said nothing. It's his own business to give or not. I don't care if you want to worship. As long as you have this attitude, it doesn't matter what you do.
