After the three of them sat down, Zuo Baogui asked with a smile: "Chairman, I heard that Da Shang can produce a top-notch riding rifle that can be shot in one shot and continuous shooting. I wonder if it is true or false?"

The king nodded, and he knew that this kind of thing could not be hidden. Then he called Chu Yuan to his side and said, "Chu Yuan, go and give the equipment brought by the brothers a long eye for the two adults."

It was the first time that Qi Yuan and Zuo Baogui met Wang Yi's service officer, Chu Yuan. When they saw that this young man was 1.8 meters tall, with a thin waist and a slim back, a figure with a fan face, and a handsome facial features. They looked like Zhao Zilong who had changed into a Western military uniform, Zuo Baogui couldn't help but praise him in his heart.

Wang Yi is now traveling in the province, with 120 personal guards, which is also a forced arrangement of the two girls. In addition to the conventional 1-guarantee carbine, there are six 1-guarantee sniper rifles and six Type 1-guarantee general machine guns.

"Two lords, I have no choice but to start making guns in order to deal with the Russians." The king initially found a reason for himself to build guns.

Qiyuan and Zuo Baogui just smiled and nodded, probably no one believed it.

While talking, Chu Yuan walked in, followed by Wang Yi's several personal guards, holding two strange guns - the Type 1 Carbine and the Type 1 Sniper Rifle.

"Chu Yuan, explain the performance of the two guns to the two adults."

After some talk, Zuo Baogui picked up the Type 1 carbine with a look of liking, and smiled and said, "This gun is good, it's just that it consumes a lot of bullets."

"Master Zuo, I really let you talk. Our bullets are all copper shells. This time we started a war with the Russians. In less than a month, we lost three million silver dollars. After fighting for ten days and half a month, our Da Shang went bankrupt."

Zuo Baogui ignored him and picked up the 1 sniper rifle again and said, "This gun is unique. It can be shot far and accurate."

"Sir, can you tell me how many silver dollars this gun costs?"

"How many?" Qi Yuan picked up the teacup and was about to drink water, but he replied casually.

"Three hundred silver dollars! Only a lot! If you include bullets, accessories, and the cost of cultivating a sharpshooter, you will need more than two thousand silver dollars a year."

After hearing this, Qi Yuan almost lost his composure and sprayed out a sip of water that he drank into his mouth.

Zuo Baogui reluctantly placed the two guns on the table. Qi Yuan gave Wang Yi a long look, but Wang Yi pretended not to see it. Later, Qi Yuan had no choice but to preach: "Xiao Yi, since General Zuo liked these two guns so much, why not give them to the adults?"

Wang Yi didn't even think about it: "This is not possible!"

This boy's refusal was too thorough, which made Qi Yuan and Zuo Baogui stunned. Because they were afraid that they would misunderstand, Wang Yi quickly explained: "These two guns have their own masters, and Master Zuo has no choice but to do so. In order to prevent the team members from being unworthy, our Da Shang sold guns privately. So all guns were printed with numbers. Once the gun was caught, they would be logged in. If the gun was lost, the person who lost the gun was first locked up. Then a special person would track down the whereabouts of the lost guns. As long as there was a violation of military discipline, the insurance team would not be polite. We must recover the guns, and the relevant personnel would not end up."

Wang Yi smiled at this time and said, "Actually, not to mention throwing a gun, even if the parts in the gun are damaged, the broken parts must be replaced with good parts. Simply put, it is necessary to meet people when they live, and to meet people when they die. People who manage logistics will record all the situations and send them to the logistics headquarters every half a month for summary. There are personnel there to summarize and classify all the problems, check whether they are problems with the gun itself or the problems with personnel use, and then experts will analyze and solve them in detail."

"I didn't expect it to be so strict." Zuo Baogui praised. In fact, the Qing court's gun management was also very strict, but it seemed a bit unprofessional when compared with Da Shang.

"These guns are all guns from my subordinates. They can move the whole body with one shot. There are too many departments involved, so it is very troublesome to change them. I hope Lord Zuo forgives me."

"A gentleman does not take away what others love, Zuo understands it."

Wang Yi said again: "But don't worry, sir, I will send someone to send two new guns for the adults to play with. But there are two requests below, and I hope the adults will agree."

If Wang Yi didn't say this pile of nonsense, Zuo Baogui might not have loved the two guns so deeply, and now he cherishes them for no reason.

"Please say it!"

"First, these two guns must not be lost, even the bullets they are equipped with are the same! This can embody the countless hard work and sweat of my great merchant! If it is lost, it will be okay to fall into the country. If it is taken away by the enemy country, it will be very disadvantageous to our country!"

"Don't worry, Chairman, Zuo is also a gun lover, so he will never do this. Today, the chairman handed over two guns to Zuo, and Zuo's life will inevitably be intertwined!"

The king nodded and said, "I believe in you!"

"I wonder what this second point is?"

"The second point... is not to imitate! Although these two guns look simple, the process requirements for each component are very high. If one is not good, it will be destroyed and killed. Besides, these guns are patented. If others rashly imitate them, my Da Shang will definitely not agree."

Qi Yuan and Zuo Baogui looked at each other and thought to himself that this play was in vain and that they knew everything.

"Since I talk about guns, I have to mention something to the two adults. When I started building an arsenal, I had no choice but to do so. Now the war with the Russians has come to an end for the time being. However, with the Russians' nature, they will definitely not give up after suffering such a big loss! Therefore, the trend of long-term resistance is inevitable. Therefore, I plan to relocate this arsenal in Fengtian to the Northeast Republic."

Qi Yuan and Zuo Baogui were stunned, and Wang Yi continued: "However, Wang has agreed to Jilin General Ming'an to provide some equipment for his Jilin Manufacturing Bureau. In fact, it is better to build a Fengtian Manufacturing Bureau, so as to avoid being controlled by others."

In fact, this is the purpose of Wang Yi coming to General Shengjing's Mansion today. First, he explained the matter of the arsenal clearly, and second, he suggested that Fengtian start the Fengtian Manufacturing Bureau. Qiyuan could not do this because he would be transferred to the position of General Chengdu soon, but Zuo Baogui could.

"Sir, the threat of Russians in the Northeast is temporarily alleviated, but our neighbor in the east is becoming increasingly strong. If we don't take precautions early, there will inevitably be endless troubles!"

The two nodded.

"Although I, Wang Yi, don't have much ability, I have a heart to defend my country. So if I am willing, my businessman is willing to provide loans and technology to help Fengtian Manufacturing Bureau be established as soon as possible."

"This is true!" Qiyuan asked.

"Really, it's even more needle-like than an iron rod-ground needle!"

The three of them looked at each other and smiled. Later, because Wang Yi was about to rush back to Da Shang, he took his people away after dinner.

Sitting in the flower hall, leaving the two, Qiyuan asked, "Guanting, how do you think of Wang Yi?"

"It's definitely not something in the pool!" Zuo Baogui thought for a while and said, "It's very good at means, very good at acting. Patriotism...but..."

Zuo Baogui didn't say half of the rest of the words, which meant that Wang Yi was patriotic, but he was not necessarily loyal to the emperor.

Qi Yuan nodded, obviously agreeing with Zuo Baogui's opinion.

"Do you think Wang Yizhen will move the military factory?" Zuo Baogui asked in a low voice at this time.

Qi Yuan smiled and shook his head, saying firmly: "I will never! It is possible to build a new one in the northeast!"

"I think so too!" Zuo Baogui laughed. "He has a great career in the Fengtian family, so how could he give up the force in his hands? By then, he would not be able to chop the board and be slaughtered."

"With that being said, he has given enough face to our General Shengjing Mansion! Besides, he also gave Fengtian Manufacturing Bureau such a big gift. If he provoked him again, he might cause so much trouble!"

Zuo Baogui also understood that Wang Yi sent a gun today and then told the Da Shang internal system, which was actually a disguised display of force. The establishment of the Fengtian Manufacturing Bureau and Wang Yi provided loans and equipment, which was also a complete face of General Shengjing.

Now for Da Shang, it is an extraordinary period. Eighty percent of the troops are in the territory of the Northeast Republic. Dongning, Daqing, and the total troops in Fengtian are not considered newly recruited and have not completed training, there will be less than 10,000 people. The troops in various places are scattered, and Wang Yi has only two thousand cavalry and one thousand infantry. Now he cannot even draw logistics soldiers, so there is no need to think about artillery.

Not long after returning to Da Shang, the Russians suddenly sent a message to the old Scorpion, saying that they would suspend negotiations with him. Later, after Wang Yi asked carefully, he found out that Russian Tsar Alexander II was suddenly assassinated! The whole country was shocked!

From an opposing standpoint, Wang Yi did not like Alexander II. After all, he brought too much suffering to our country. But from a historical perspective, Alexander II was also an enlightened monarch, and no matter how you look at it, it was tens of thousands of times stronger than the rulers of the Qing Dynasty.

The capitalist reform he promoted greatly promoted the rapid development of Russian society and greatly enhanced Russia's comprehensive national strength. In many aspects such as society, military, judicial, administration, and transportation, he put forward plans and opinions that conform to the trend of social development. His investment in education has enabled Tsarist Russia to transform from an agricultural country to an industrial country, providing good mental support.

During the reign of Alexander II, the Russian Art Museum, the famous Tretchiakov Gallery, was officially opened to the public (1856), the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg was completed and opened to the public (1860), the Moscow Zoo was opened to the public (1864), the Moscow Conservatory was completed and opened to the public (1866), the Russian Telecommunications Agency was established (1866), the Moscow History Museum was completed and opened to the public (1875), the first power station in Russia was completed and put into production (1879), and the electrification era began. In addition, during this period, a large number of social groups in art, medicine and education appeared, the first social charities, and a large number of writers and scientists appeared.

In comparison, the old ladies in Beijing have built gardens in addition to building gardens... Damn, how big is your fucking buttocks, have you to build so many gardens?

However, reform is often accompanied by many negative effects, and it is inevitable that it will be strongly opposed by vested interests. As the reform progresses in depth, the difficulty will increase!

With the improvement of liberalization in Russian political and social life, coupled with the emergence of other social systems, some underground revolutionary organizations actively carried out terrorist activities, trying to change Russian society by assassinating the Tsar and politicians. During this period, the people who actively advocated assassination of the Tsar were the People's Willers who were in the underground state. Alexander II had been assassinated many times, but due to proper defense measures, they were safe and sound.

On March 1, 1881, Alexander II prepared to sign a decree to announce the reorganization of the National Committee and initiate the political reform process of Russian constitutional monarchy, but on this day he was assassinated again. The first bomb dropped by the assassin injured Alexander II's guards and coachman. Alexander II ignored the dissuasion and insisted on getting out of the car to check the injuries of the guards. As a result, the second bomb dropped by the assassin exploded under his feet. Alexander II's legs were broken and he died ineffectively on the same day.

After Alexander II, the one who inherited the throne should have been his eldest son Nicholas, but because of an accident, the crown prince died early, so Alexander III became the one who ascended the throne. However, in terms of ability, Alexander III was far from being comparable to his father. However, relying on his father's elegance, Tsarist Russia maintained rapid development during this period, which was obviously not good news for Wang Yi.

In May, the old Scorpion held talks in Yingkou at the invitation of British Minister Witoma and American Minister Angeli. The matter discussed was the status of the two countries in the Northeast Republic.

Because they defeated the Russians, the attitudes of these two countries towards the Northeast Republic have to a certain extent, and the conditions proposed by the old Scorpion are very simple.

Opium trade is prohibited, both sides have equal status, independent tariffs and free trade. Of course, this is Wang Yi's attitude!

After some consultations, the three parties signed a memorandum, and Britain and the United States announced the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Northeast Republic, but this was immediately strongly opposed by Russian Ambassador to China Yevgeny Karlovic Bouche! On this issue, French Ambassador to China Baohai and Japanese Ambassador to China Takeo Yoshimoto remained silent.

Negotiations between Russia and the Northeast Republic have been underway, and the two sides have had serious differences. It was just because of the death of the Tsar and the turmoil in Russia. In addition, the new emperor ascended the throne, everything was not yet stable, so the Russians did not threaten war.

However, on this issue, the old Scorpion's attitude was very strange and his performance was very shrinking. As long as Buce's attitude was tough, he would retreat and then show a stance of entrusting the full-time attitude. But when both sides seemed to reach some consensus, the old Scorpion would suddenly become tough again and then overturn everything. However, as long as Buce makes harsh words, the old Scorpion will retreat together to the origin and become weak again.

This feels like the bed master Wang Yi met when he visited Fenglou. At the beginning, the girl always showed a gentle posture, spoke softly and her body was also gentle. Then in the middle of the battle, she would suddenly become wild, and a little tiger who refused to admit defeat launched a perfect counterattack. But when the climaxes started and the song ended and the people dispersed, the girl would become gentle again, and use her charm and limbs to inadvertently express a kind of plucking and willingness that was conquered by the heroic wind. Of course, the result is that we welcome you to come again...
