Chapter seven hundred and forty-first, the uneasy mother-in-law
Indeed, what every dynasty fears the most is rebellion. This is why before I seized the world, I strictly required the army to be trained into the people's army, and long-term indoctrination and strict military discipline to make this army the iron army of the Chinese Empire.
Instead of rebels who will swing their swords at their own people and their country at any time. But even so, people will have long-term concerns without immediate worries. Therefore, this shortcoming of gunpowder weapons has just formed another focus for the court to control the army.
Next, the military general expressed a strong desire to change the requirements of such weapons and equipment as soon as possible.
I could only roll my eyes to answer their thoughts. I first counted the cost of flintlock rifles and cannons with my fingers, which was much higher than that of hundreds of refining horizontal swords and large crossbows. Even after several improvements, the total cost of a flintlock rifle is equivalent to three horizontal swords.
This kind of weapon is absolutely forbidden to be sold out. Each weapon has a number, and the firearm group has strict regulations on the use and storage of firearms, for fear of being obtained by countries and individuals with ulterior motives.
However, after discussion, a decision was made. After the railway from Chang'an to Yan'an County was completed, a steam locomotive would be piloted. If the carrying capacity and speed were far exceeding that of the carriage, then the first thing to do was to build the railway from Chang'an to Jiaozhi so that various precious metals from the south would be transported to Chang'an.
In addition, Wei Yunqi made a proposal, hoping to build a gunpowder factory in the southern region. In the future, it is best to build an ordnance factory in the southern region. Only in this way can the consumption of power be minimized and the army of the Nanyang islands of the Chinese Empire can obtain weapons and equipment supplies faster.
I agree with me, but at least I have to wait until the railway from Chang'an to Jiaozhi is completed and the supply capacity of Chang'an's major national ordnance factories will be met first before considering this issue. During this period, it is expected to take five years.
In the past five years, the Imperial Guards' Firearms regiment will be upgraded to a special tester, with a population of more than 15,700. Among them, there will be 8,000 breastplate musketeers, 3,000 breastplate musketeers, and an artillery reinforced regiment composed of 100 artillery and 1,000 breastplate musketeers.
These thousand breastplate musketeers naturally wanted to protect the guards of the artillery positions. With them, three or five thousand people could not approach the artillery positions at all. No matter how many enemies there were, they could prepare for the artillery positions to delay time or evacuate safely.
After all, all artillery soldiers are riding horses, and artillery and shells are all driven by horses, so the maneuver power is extremely powerful, even stronger than infantry.
When I think about being able to form an army composed of hot weapons, I think it makes people feel like I’m saliva. At that time, who else can compete with the world? Damn it, I’m afraid I’m lonely as snow when I fight all over Europe, Asia and Africa.
"My little ancestor, I'm afraid of you. You said you're so big that you're still following those two girls to sit on the slide pole?" The young man fell on the chair weakly. Looking at the Yaoguang girl next to him who was flushed and sweating, he almost fainted on the ground in despair.
"My husband, let me hear it later. I can't afford to be guilty." Yaoguang rushed up and reached out to cover my mouth and smiled flatteringly. The bright eyes looked so clear in the autumn sun.
"Do you still know that you can't afford to be guilty?" The young master pulled Yao Guang's hand away and rolled his eyes. He looked at her erect belly and said with pain: "How old is he? I don't know how much attention you have to be pregnant. If something happens, how can you explain to yourself?"
My young master Taotao's constant complaints made Yaoguang become depressed, and he squeezed out a flattering smile and said in a low voice: "Okay, husband, I'll just listen to you, but don't let my mother-in-law and my mother know?"
"Little guy, I won't allow it next time. You can do it, but you can't use the temperament of those two little girls to do it." I raised my face and pinched the pretty nose of the Yaoguang girl, warning.
"Okay, okay, I know, I will definitely not let you see it again next time. Uh, no, I mean I will not do these dangerous games again." Yaoguang quickly raised his hand and swore.
I almost laughed when I saw her serious appearance, but I still held back so that the woman would be spoiled and almost beat her face.
"Mom, are you asleep?" After chatting with Yaoguang, I saw the food on the table, and I walked to my mother who was leaning on the chair and admiring the autumn scenery of Bihu outside the window and whispered.
"No, what's wrong with Silang?" My mother turned her head and smiled at me.
"Mom, you are a little unhappy during this period." I sat on the chair beside me and said with concern.
"How could you be unhappy? You just miss Goro a little." My mother shook her head and sighed softly. "I'm really uncomfortable with such a person suddenly missing around me."
"Mom, if you miss him, just let him come over and let him bring Wu to see you." I said with pain. My mother's body is much better now than before, but this sentimental temperament cannot be reversed.
"Let's spend some time, it's not appropriate for Lao Wu and her wife to run around. Alas... I don't know how the couple is now, are they pregnant with a child? By the way, Silang, if they are pregnant with a boy, what name do you think you should be called?"
Looking at my mother's expectant eyes, I wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. "Mom, you think too far, are you?" How long has it been now? Besides, even if you are pregnant, you don't know if it's a man or a woman. My mother has already started thinking about naming the little guy, and I'm dizzy.
"No rush? Your two brothers are not good at it. Now, our Changsun family is only you and your younger brother. Now," my mother glanced at my two wives and lowered her voice a little. "You are just two daughters and don't have any children yet. How can I not be in a hurry?"
I whirled for a long time, but I didn't know how to express my admiration for my mother. How old is we? The problem is that in my mother's eyes, I have become the father-in-law who gave birth to Brother Acer.
"Mom, as the saying goes, isn't it hard to cut wood without delaying sharpening a knife? The facts have proved that your two wives will not be able to have children, and there are only three in just a few years... That boy Li Yuanfang has only two in so many years. Isn't he a mother?"
"Your Brother Acer is about ten, why don't you compare?" My mother glared at me very sharply, and the object she compared was simply not a national father-in-law that ordinary people could find.
The eldest daughter is over 16, and a concubine I just married before is only in her early fifteen years old. I can only look up to this beast and despise it.
"Mom, you have to think about it. Do you really want your child to be a father-in-law for the rest of his life like Brother Acer?" This young man smashed his mouth and said with a smile on his face.
My mother was dizzy in her eyes. When she thought of the scene between her and her first seventeen or eighteen granddaughters, she shook her head firmly. "That's not possible. No matter what, someone must inherit the family business. You are the emperor, you can't have no children, right?"
"Mom, to be honest, our family will definitely have it." This young master promised his mother with the most affirmative and firm voice and expression.
"Oh, I'm just waiting to see if I've seen my grandson on that day." My mother sighed with a grievance. I know that at least most of them are pretending. The most important thing is that I hope that I, the son, will work hard to get a big fat boy as soon as possible so that she can satisfy her wish to be a grandmother.
The most important thing is that my son can have a crown prince. Only in this way can she feel that she can explain to my father who is in the dark.
A few days later, I took a large number of civil servants and military generals to visit the Heroic Spirit Hall, which was renovated for the second time. The Heroic Spirit Hall is located in the south of Longshouyuan in the north of Chang'an City. When it was still several miles away from the Heroic Spirit Hall, you could see a complex of buildings extending from the foot of Longshouyuan to the top of the mountain.
The land occupied is probably almost half of the Dragon Shouyuan. This piece of land is specially allocated to the heroes of China, as well as the royal tombs and the future cemetery of the outstanding court officials. Therefore, the #pan is naturally very large, and the Dragon Shouyuan is not originally crowded, but there are only some wasteland.
Naturally, I either paid for it directly or replaced it, and took down the entire Dragon Shouyuan. After several years of repair and construction, a large-scale building complex has been formed. Along the way, I saw many people walking along this wide cement straight road to the Heroic Hall.
Among them, there are many scholars, or soldiers on vacation, who are heading to the Temple of Heroes to commemorate or pay condolences. Those scholars took a quick look at our group and continued to leave them.
As for those soldiers, after seeing our group, all soldiers who recognized the familiar generals in the team stood up and saluted, and we also returned the gift and rode past them.
After about two quarters of an hour, I finally arrived at the main entrance, which was five meters tall and five meters tall. In front of the main entrance is a square with a length and width of three miles. Near the gate, there is a towering flag station. In the middle of the flag station, there is a flagpole, and above it, a blood-red Chinese Empire flag is fluttering in the wind.
There were many people gathering near the flag platform, pointing at this flag. The main reason was that this flag was different from the flags of all Chinese dynasties in the past. They no longer had Chinese characters, but used patterns to represent the four classes of the Chinese Empire: scholars, farmers, industry and commerce.
