Chapter 1406: Give birth to a son like Zhu Ping'an, but it's a pity that the Za family is a eunuch
"Master, Master...are you okay...we are late, please punish us."
When Zhu Ping'an was preparing the official document, Liu Mu, Liu Dadao and others rushed to rescue him anxiously. When they were led by Wei Guogong's soldiers to receive the sponsored military equipment, because they were unprepared, they were attacked by the sudden appearance of rebel soldiers with strong bows.
He was surrounded by hard crossbows, and he didn't get free until just now. As soon as he got free, he couldn't wait to come to his rescue. After learning that Zhu was safe and sound, he let go of his worries.
"I'm fine, not even a hair is missing, don't worry."
Zhu Ping'an was relieved after seeing that Liu Mu, Liu Dadao and others were safe and sound. Although he knew that the target of the rebellion was Wei Guogong, He Eunuch and himself and others, Liu Mu and the others' safety was relatively guaranteed, but he still couldn't help it.
He was a little worried, but now that he saw that they were safe and sound, Zhu Ping'an was finally relieved, and his writing was smooth and flowing, without any extra points. In an instant, an official document appeared on the paper.
"Great kindness!"
"Wonderful!"
"Master Xiao Zhu deserves to be the number one scholar! This official document was written in seconds, even a veteran swordsman and penman can't pass it. It was originally a letter of apology, but in the hands of my nephew, it became more like a letter of apology.
!”
After reading it, Wei Guogong and others were full of praise. They did not add a single word or change a word, and appended their names at the end. After signing, Wei Guogong and others immediately sent people to rush to submit a report to the capital department.
In order to express his gratitude to Zhu Pingan, Wei Guogong added an additional hundred firecrackers and five stones of gunpowder.
"It turns out that Mr. Xiao Zhu prefers firearms. It just so happens that the Za family still has two bowl-mouth cannons produced by Baoyuan Bureau that are not available to his parents, so the Za family will distribute these two bowl-mouth cannons to Mr. Xiao Zhu's team training to help Xiao Zhu.
Mr. Zhu lends a helping hand."
After Eunuch He learned about Zhu Pingan's preference for firearms, he generously said that he had two bowl-mouth cannons that he could give to Zhu Pingan.
"Thank you, father-in-law."
Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard that Eunuch He could allocate two bowl-mouth cannons. Now the regiment training is in urgent need of artillery. Although there are only two guns, the number is a little less, but it can finally make up for the shortcomings of the regiment training.
"Master Xiao Zhu saved two lives of the Za family. Why are you so polite to the Za family? These two bowl-mouth cannons are just a small thing. The Za family will be richly rewarded in the future." Eunuch He said with a smile as he held up his orchid.
"Two lives?" Zhu Ping'an was startled when he heard this. When had he saved Eunuch He's life again?!
"One is the physical life of the Zajia family, and the other is the official life of the Zajia family." Eunuch He said meaningfully.
"My father-in-law said something serious," Zhu Ping'an said politely.
"It's not serious, I'm not serious. Mr. Xiao Zhu can send someone to drive to guard the Yamen tomorrow and take away the artillery. Oh, by the way, there is also a box of experimental firecrackers produced by the Military War Bureau in the Yamen warehouse. Mr. Xiao Zhu will also take it away.
Bar."
Eunuch He narrowed his eyes and smiled.
When the Marquis of Linhuai saw that Wei Guogong and He Gonggong had expressed their feelings, he felt embarrassed and said to Zhu Ping'an, "My dear nephew, there are still a hundred horses in my camp. Although they are not good horses and fine horses, they are just ordinary horses that can be used for transportation."
, it can also be used to pull carts. There are many sailors in my camp, and they can’t use it, so I gave it to my nephew."
"Thank you uncle."
Zhu Pingan did not reject anyone who came, and everyone accepted it happily.
Today is another great harvest, and Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
Let’s take a look and see how much wealth the group training team has now.
At the beginning, the Marquis of Linhuai sponsored 1,200 sets of old-style military uniforms, 600 spears, 500 swords, 200 longbows, 200 muskets, and a pile of tattered armor.
Then, Wei Guogong sponsored 100 new sets of tents, 100 pairs of armor, 200 firecrackers and 10 stones of gunpowder.
Now, Wei Guogong added one hundred fire blunderbuss and five stones of gunpowder. He Eunuch distributed two bowl-mouth cannons and a box of fire blunderbuss (there must be dozens of them). The Marquis of Linhuai also added one hundred horses.
.
In addition, the imperial court also allocated five thousand taels of food and salary, and I also won several hundred taels of sponsorship from Chu Xiong and others...
Calculated in this way, the group training family is not weak. At present, the firearms alone include 600 blunderbuss and two bowl-mouth cannons... If one person has one blunderbuss, the firearm ratio is almost 100.
The ratio of firearms to Qi Jiguang's troops would only reach 50% in the future.
However, these firearms are not enough, and we must find ways to increase and improve firearms later.
Zhu Pingan knows the importance and revolutionary nature of firearms better than anyone in the world.
Let’s figure it out slowly.
Now there is one thing to do. Zhu Ping'an solemnly handed over his hand to Wei Guozheng, "Uncle, Ping'an has one more thing to ask for."
"My dear nephew, please tell me, no matter what happens, I will do my best." Wei Guogong replied, categorically speaking, but he was still a little embarrassed in his heart. Seeing that Zhu Pingan was so solemn, he thought that Zhu Pingan had taken a fancy to his camp.
I want to ask for the artillery inside. This artillery is a quota issued by the imperial court, so it is a bit difficult to get it.
However, my nephew is a lifesaver after all. As Eunuch He said, he still saved two lives. My nephew said, I have to find a way to satisfy him. Well, yes, Eunuch He is here now.
You can discuss this with Eunuch He and ask him to turn a blind eye. I have disposed of the two artillery pieces in the camp as "scrapped". What my nephew took away was not the artillery pieces, but the scrap metal.
...
While Wei Guogong was racking his brains, Zhu Ping'an then spoke, "Uncle, when the mutiny in Zhenwu Camp was quelled just now, I made my own decisions and promised that your soldiers will ask you for credit on their behalf..."
"Ah?! So that's what happened. Thanks to my nephew for reminding me, soldiers should be rewarded based on their merits."
The Duke of Wei was greatly surprised. He originally thought that Zhu Pingan wanted artillery, but he didn't expect that he wanted to take credit for his own soldiers.
"Old Xu, you can't be stingy anymore. These soldiers have worked hard." The Marquis of Linhuai patted Wei Guogong on the shoulder.
"This is natural." Wei Guogong nodded vigorously, "I have never been stingy with rewards for them."
Things were settled here, and the military equipment sponsored by Wei Guogong were also loaded on the truck. Zhu Pingan declined the banquet invited by Wei Guogong and said goodbye.
"When you have a son, you should be like Zhu Ping'an... It's a pity that the Za family is a eunuch, and there is no hope in this life."
When saying goodbye, Eunuch He looked at Zhu Ping'an's leaving figure and couldn't help but sigh.
"Oh, it's a pity that Zihou has already married a girl from the second son's family, otherwise I would have to marry a daughter to him."
The Marquis of Linhuai couldn't help but sigh.
"For a man, it's normal to have three wives and four concubines. Lao Li, my family still has two girls who are concubines. How about you help Lala Red String to be a matchmaker and let Zi Hou pick one to fill the house?" Wei Guogong asked.
Touching Lin Huaihou's shoulder.
Filling a house?! Marquis Linhuai couldn't help blinking his eyes, as if he had some realization in his heart.
"Hey, Lao Li, why are you so stunned? Can you please give me a message?" Wei Guogong urged.
"Ahem, don't worry, we have a long time to come. Let's talk about it later." Linhuai Marquis laughed.
