"Third brother, do you think the firearms from foreign barbarians are really that powerful?" Qi Jingtong said this with concern, but it was not He Jin standing opposite him, but Yu Yuanzan.

Because after the New Year, Qi Jingtong's current four-person group of charity is still the second brother, and Yu Yuanzan is the third brother.

The reason for this is that Yu Yuanzan has a lush beard, rough and bold, and looks like an irreconcilable middle-aged uncle, rather than a 25-year-old cream boy.

However, after deciding on the position of the second brother, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt a little sad that the position of the "second brother" was a little sad. What's there to grab? Besides, with He Jin's degree of swornship, he might soon have a lot of fucking brothers and sisters.

"Second brother, I think those barbarians in foreign countries cannot be that powerful."

Yu Yuanzan frowned when he heard this, looking thoughtful, and finally concluded, "This must be the fourth brother who is scaring the governor."

Speaking of this, he looked at the left and right, and then secretly told Qi Jing, "Second brother, I recognize you, the second brother, so I told you the truth."

"What's the truth?"

"The three bird guns I seized were not like that." Yu Yuanzan was now in memory and said, "After I came back from seizing the bird gun, the fourth brother ran over first, as if he was very happy. But after seeing it, he curled his lips disappointedly, thinking that the bird gun was not advanced at all."

"Then what?"

"Then the fourth brother took away all the three bird guns and sent them back three days later. The bird guns sent back were a little different from before, and they became what we saw yesterday."

After saying that, he smiled proudly and said, "I'm afraid my fourth brother thinks I'm careless and won't show these things. In fact, I'm fine and detailed, and I've seen through everything."

Hearing this, Qi Jingtong understood what Yu Yuanzan meant and said in surprise, "Third brother, are you talking about the fourth brother secretly improving the bird gun?"

"It should be like this."

This was not what Yu Yuanzan said, but Zhang Lun came out from somewhere and said, "You don't know, second uncle and third uncle. When we were fighting in Guyuan, my uncle kept complaining that our firearms were too backward."

"During the time in the capital, he had already recruited a group of skilled blacksmiths. He also opened a secret workshop in Xishan. He was ding-dang and boom all day long, and most of them were thinking about how to improve the musket."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chengyou's voice rang again, saying, "It's not 80% that my uncle is just thinking about improving the musket. The Jinyiwei has investigated this matter, but the conclusion reached was ineffective. In addition, the workshop is only of a small scale, and Your Majesty is too lazy to ask about it."

Looking at the people constantly emerging, Qi Jingtong found that this incident was quite touching.

But the more I heard it, the more confused I felt, and wondered, "Did the fourth brother improve the bird gun? Even if he improves it, why are he doing so sneakily?"

At this time, Yu Yuanzan's face became serious and said in a low tone, "I seem to know that he will probably not rebel in this matter, but I should want to use Your Majesty and the Cabinet to let him take charge of the Maritime Bureau of the Ming Dynasty. In his words, he should be Heshen of the Qing Dynasty."

As he said that, he scratched his head in confusion and asked Zhang Lun and Li Chengyou, "Which dynasty was the Qing Dynasty and who was Heshen? You two have followed him for a long time than us. Do you know this person?"

"Heshen was the most famous corrupt official in the Qing Dynasty. He was rich and rich, and was as rich as a country. People in the world thought that he had accumulated a lot of money because he was greedy, but in fact, he monopolized the import and export trade of the Qing Dynasty and was so rich."

At this time, a familiar voice sounded from behind.

He Jin also appeared with a dark face and teased, "Okay, I didn't expect that you four cobblers gathered together and actually chatted and restored most of my plan."

As soon as he saw the real person appear, Zhang Lun and Li Chengyou stood at the scene immediately, looking like they were ready to be beaten. Yu Yuanzan looked at the two of them, but because she was talking too much, she felt a little guilty.

However, Qi Jingtong was full of righteousness and frowned and asked He Jin in reverse, "Fourth brother, did you really improve the bird gun?"

"That's right." Since the matter was about to be exposed, He Jin didn't hide it, so he simply replied in detail, "Although the bird gun seized by the third brother is much higher than the Shenji gun of our Ming Dynasty, I didn't expect that the bird gun was originally a medley gun."

"Even if the trigger is available, the fuse must be kept smolder before it can be fired. It is greatly affected by the weather. If the battle in the plains is fought in dry weather, the fuse will undoubtedly be more powerful than the archers. However, duels in the dense forest in wet weather are not as good as the bows and arrows that were bright thousands of years ago."

All four of them led troops to fight. After hearing He Jin's words, this is indeed the case.

"As for my research in Xishan, I have developed a flint ignition device, so that it can be less affected by the weather and has a much faster firing rate." Speaking of this, He Jin couldn't help but sigh and said, "It's a pity that the key flint click device has been created, but there is a problem with the gun barrel."

"The gun barrel of the bird gun must be made of fine iron, but the kind of fine iron needs to be made of ten kilograms of thick iron to make one pound, and steel drills must be drilled into a smooth and straight gun barrel with a smooth and straight inner wall. The drilling gun is very sophisticated, and each person can only drill about one inch per day, and it takes about a month to drill into one."

Speaking of this, he sat down and said depressedly, "We have craftsmanship in Ming Dynasty, but the backward craftsmanship system cannot meet the mass production."

"The third brother then seized three ready-made bird guns, and I asked the craftsmen to click the flint device and directly install it on the bird gun. So, the most advanced and powerful flint bird gun in the world was born."

"The whole world?" Qi Jingtong grasped the keywords in one go.

"That's right, it's definitely the whole world." He Jin thought about the wise man of the flints in Europe. Like Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou, he has not been born this year. At this time, these three bird guns are not the best in the world, which is strange.

As for what kind of breech gun, the hehe of rifled gun, how can the technology of firearms be so rapid?

If we follow the normal historical process, it will take at least three hundred years before that something that truly ends the era of cold weapons will appear - counting the time, it happened to be the beginning of the first Opium War.

"Then, why are you exaggerating and intimidating the governor?" Qi Jingtong, who finally breathed a sigh of relief, then this question arose again.

He Jin looked depressed and said lonely, "Because His Majesty and I have a grandmaster, I am really too well aware of it."

"I know their length, they know my depth, and my couple must know how to manage their lives, not to mention that I want to open the sea and change the national policy. I always have to have some fresh tricks."

"I used to coax them, but now this trick is obviously not working, so I will naturally be scared."

Speaking of this, he continued to sigh lonely and said, "If I were to scare myself, they would definitely be prepared, so they had to be loyal and selfless governor, which was more convincing."

"In this way, His Majesty and the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet are unable to be prepared for danger in peace and look at the world openly. In addition, I am so active in the court. If they don't send me to do it, who else can they send to do it?"

"And then, you can monopolize the Maritime Mansion and monopolize the import and export trade and become Heshen of our Ming Dynasty?" Yu Yuanzan understood this time, and understood the routine. It turned out that everything was a routine, and it was a big game of chess played by He Jin!

When the four of them heard this, they felt very uncomfortable.

We are all good generals of the Ming Dynasty who were born in prosperous dynasties and were full of loyalty to the emperor and serving the country. You should use the relationship of sworn and nephew to tell us in a noble way that we should plot against the court. Do you want us to expose you or not!

But He Jin didn't care at all, but instead waved his hand and said, "Anyway, I have told you the way of money. I can borrow money if I lack money. As for whether to do it or not, it depends on your choice."

"What, what kind of money is the way to make money?" Qi Jingtong and Yu Yuanzan had not known each other for a long time, so they didn't understand the key points at the critical moment.

Li Chengyou and Zhang Lun's eyes lit up. Zhang Lun said first, "Carry iron ore quickly! My uncle has sent a musket into the palace. After nothing unexpected happens, his Majesty will definitely need to be equipped with the Ming army vigorously. Then his uncle said that the most precious thing in bird guns is the management of the general, and the demand for fine iron is the demand."

"I made my first pot of gold by purchasing iron ore, and my uncle happened to be in charge of the Maritime Warehouse. At that time, we could make another profit after exporting silk, porcelain, tea, etc.," Li Chengyou added later.

As soon as these words were heard, Qi Jingtong and Yu Yuanzan looked at each other and revealed their fuck. Go back and spend all your money to buy iron ore. This is the serious thing!

But just when the four of them were holding a fire in their hearts, Liu Huoer came over, "Boss, the governor invited you to discuss the military. I heard that it was the Japanese pirates who finally couldn't hold it in, so they came to Huai'an."

"Oh?" He Jin's eyes lit up, and then waved his hand and said, "It's time to solve this problem."
