Chapter 163 His Royal Highness King Yan is born to have a relationship with the Ministry of Industry
Seeing the old general looking at him, the young general couldn't help but feel a chill on the back of his neck.
He thought the other party wanted to use his neck to test the sharpness of the knife.
Fortunately, what made him feel relieved was that the old general over there did not try whether his neck was hard or not.
"Little Mengzi, I heard that your father passed you a sword. I wonder if you brought it here today?"
Hearing this, Baoding Hou Mengying couldn't help but be stunned.
His father passed him a peerless sword.
It is said that it was passed down by Mencius, the ancestor of their family who did not know the truth or falsehood.
But the question is, how could he take out such a precious sword at will?
Not to mention the weapons created by His Highness Yanwang can tell that they are extremely hard at a glance.
Even if he brought it today, he wouldn't dare to take it out!
Immediately, he smiled bitterly and said, "Marquis Fengcheng, I didn't bring the sword here today, why don't you talk about it later!"
Meng Ying's answer made Fengcheng Hou Li Bin look disappointed.
He has just returned to the capital from Annan these days.
The mighty style that I thought I could kill my old opponent's son, but now it seems impossible.
In fact, sometimes he really envies his old opponent Meng Shanzhen for his luck.
If you die, you will die. It’s so great to keep a son.
How like him?
None of the kids in the family can do it!
However, Li Bin didn't want to give up this opportunity, and said with a smile: "Little Mengzi, since the sword has not been brought, it's better to use the sword in your hand. Let's compete and see how sharp the knife is
!”
These words made Meng Ying look helpless.
He could see it.
Why do so many people present? This old man Li Bin, who is a bad guy, come to choose him?
It must be because his father kept pressing this old man under his body when he was alive, so the other party came to cause trouble for him.
He is also taking the blame for his father!
However, in the face of this seemingly losing ending, he certainly couldn't agree.
Therefore, after thinking about it, he smiled and said, "After Fengcheng Hou, His Highness Yan King's sword has just been created.
In order to avoid others saying that I am a young man bullying the elderly, it is better for us to change our weapons. If you use your best weapon, I will use this knife!"
He wouldn't be stupid enough to compare his weapons with the old man Li Bin.
The second is to damage one's own sword, the most important thing is that this loss will definitely be laughed at.
The reputation of his Meng family cannot be destroyed by him.
Hearing this, Li Bin on the other side couldn't help but be stunned, and then his heart was filled with helplessness.
If he hadn't known that this knife was not simple, how could he be willing to compete with Meng Ying, a strong young man?
Change weapons?
Don't even think about it!
But before he could refuse, Zhu Di, who was sitting there, looked at the sky and spoke immediately.
"Okay, just use standard weapons to see the sharpness! After all, you have to equip all the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. Using other weapons doesn't mean anything!"
His purpose today is to give the fourth gang a helping place!
Now that the weapons have been built and the sun is about to set, he has no intention of staying there.
With the emperor's words, although Li Bin, the Fengcheng Hou, felt very regretful, he did not dare to refuse.
So he quickly asked the Jinyiwei people to take out a standard long knife.
After he put it down, he slashed it hard.
Along with a sour sound, it dissipated.
The Jinyiwei's standard weapons were clattered and turned into two sections on the ground.
Seeing this scene, everyone present was shocked.
Although they had expected it, they were still shocked after seeing it.
"If his grandma's slashed on someone, wouldn't it be a piece of it all at once?"
Unlike others, the Minister of Works thought of other possibilities after seeing it.
So he quickly spoke excitedly: "Your Majesty, I think such a hard iron tool can completely improve the explosion problem of the Daming musket!"
"Mirror?"
Everyone was stunned, and then they woke up.
They have been paying attention to the issue of building cold weapons before.
I completely forgot the strongest weapon of the Ming Dynasty: the musket.
This weapon that does not require long-term training to form combat effectiveness is much more cost-effective than a spear and a big knife.
Before, it was because of the explosion of the chamber, so the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty rarely used firearms.
But since the iron billet refined by His Highness Yan King is high enough, it can be completely turned into a musket.
In this way, the combat effectiveness of the Ming soldiers can be greatly improved.
Someone even suggested: "Since you can build a musket, can you also build a cannon?"
But after hearing this, Song Li, the Minister of Works, shook his head helplessly.
"Now, almost all the artillery artillery in the Ming Dynasty are made of bronze. Although the iron is hard enough, the artillery created is easy to explode!"
As the Minister of Works, although he is not as good as those craftsmen who specialize in this art, he also knows the problems in this regard.
Iron tools cannot create cannons, which is the common sense of almost all craftsmen.
If artillery can be really built with cheap iron tools, the number of artillery that the Ming Dynasty currently has would not be so small.
The generals present were disappointed when they saw him saying this.
Originally they wanted to come.
Iron is harder than copper, not to mention that the iron billet refined by His Highness Yanwang is several times the hardness of the previous iron tools.
The cannons created in this way will definitely last longer.
But I didn’t expect that building artillery is not just about hardness!
Zhu Di, who was standing beside him, was also filled with disappointment.
In fact, he didn't think about the firearm at the beginning.
But now it seems that he is still thinking too simple!
However, after restraining his inner disappointment, he quickly came back to his senses.
"Since artillery is not good, then we should develop the musket first! The Ministry of Works will learn more from the Yan King in the future and strive to increase the power of the Ming Dynasty's musket!"
"I obey the order!"
Upon hearing this, Song Li and Zhu Gaoshuo quickly saluted respectfully and shouted.
Originally, improving the weapons and equipment of all the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty required the cooperation of the Ministry of Works.
So even if Zhu Di didn't say it, Song Li would come over and disturb Zhu Gaoshuo.
What's more, what Zhu Gaoshuo has done these days is related to the Ministry of Works.
Build a new capital!
Improve heating equipment!
Now it can enhance the combat effectiveness of the Ming soldiers!
"Your Highness Yan is born with a fate with the Ministry of Works!"
Song Li immediately looked at Zhu Gaoshuo on the side with a smile.
On the other side, Zhu Gaoshuo looked at the old man Song Li with a slutty smile on his face, and couldn't help but feel chilled.
Soon Zhu Di deliberately left the generals in the army and returned to the palace alone.
After all, when he was sitting here, the generals in the army did not dare to get closer to Zhu Gaoshuo.
He has put a lot of effort into the success of the fourth brother in the future!
Chapter completed!
