Chapter 123 Increase the research and development of firearms!
"Master Ni, you don't have to speak for him. He is just proud of himself. He feels that he has made some achievements and is arrogant!"
The ministers said angrily.
Lin Fan said coldly: "Since you think the slaves are rubbish, then fine, I will give you one hundred thousand Xuanjia troops, and I will give you a military salary of one million taels of silver. Which of you will lead the team to destroy the slaves?
"
"If you can't do it, it will be a serious crime of confiscating your home and exterminating the nine clans. I suggest that you guys go together. Don't blame each other because you won't be able to fight!"
Forehead……
After Lin Fan said this, the officials who were clamoring just now suddenly became quiet. They were clamoring here that it was okay. They didn't have the guts to really let them go to the battlefield.
"Lin Fan, is it really impossible to kill that slave?"
Chongzhen asked.
"Of course there is a way! The advantage of our Ming Dynasty is firearms. However, because some people have enriched their own pockets, the research and development of fire in the Ming Dynasty has been very slow."
"Just like the fire gun, although it is powerful, it can only fire one shot, and it is very troublesome to refill. It cannot be used on rainy days."
"If we can make fire blunderbuss fire continuously and mass-produce a batch of these weapons, it only takes 10,000 people to destroy the 100,000-strong Jiannu army!"
Lin Fan said coldly.
"Haha! Lin Fan, Lin Fan, you are really not afraid of flinching when you talk big. The power of this fire gun is already very powerful. You still want to fire it continuously?"
"This is absolutely impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"Your Majesty, some things in this world are predestined. We, the Ming Dynasty, have already developed the fire blunderbuss to the extreme. If we continue to research it, it will just be a waste of money!"
"Lin Fan, I didn't expect that you are also a person who likes to daydream!"
The officials sneered.
Lin Fan rolled his eyes at them and said: "Your Majesty, I have actually developed a new type of fire gun. Although it is still a bit troublesome to operate, it can fire continuously!"
kindness!
After Lin Fan said this, Chongzhen's eyes lit up, and the ministers present were directly shocked. This was a slap in the face of Chi Guoguo. They had just said that there was no such thing as a fire blunderbuss that could fire continuously, and Lin Fan said that he
Research has been done.
"This! How is this possible!"
One official was shocked.
"Here comes someone! Go to Baihu Division to get a piece of Mao Sui and grab it!"
Lin Fan said coldly.
He signed in a few days ago and got the design drawings of Mao Suiqiang. This is the earliest musket that can fire continuously.
It can load six bullets at a time, but it must be reloaded every time a round is fired.
Not long after, Jin Yiwei brought a Maosuigun, and Lin Fan said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this is a new style of firecracker. I named it Maosuigun."
"This kind of weapon can be loaded with six rounds of bullets at a time. However, every time it is fired, it must be reloaded. Just like this, although it is not simple, it is much stronger than a firecracker!"
Snapped!
After saying that, Lin Fan immediately put on a show, loading, firing, loading, firing, and fired six times, each shot hitting the official's hat that had previously refuted him.
ah!
The officials were so frightened that they all trembled, staggered back a few steps, and fell to the ground. Their faces were pale, and when they looked at Lin Fan, they were full of fear.
Emperor Chongzhen was extremely excited when he saw it, and said: "Okay! If all the soldiers of our Ming Dynasty are equipped with such weapons, who will be our opponent in the future?"
"The opponent of my Ming Dynasty will always be my Ming Dynasty myself!"
"Your Majesty, if nothing else, if the officials of our Ming Dynasty can work together and the government's finances are rich, even without this robbery, our Ming Dynasty will still be strong!"
"It's a pity that there are always people who form cliques, there are always people who care for their own interests regardless of the interests of the country and the country, and there are always people who are restless. That's why the Ming Dynasty has become what it is now!"
"Your Majesty, I suggest that we first make 100,000 of these weapons to equip the Xuanjia Army. Later, I will develop more powerful weapons!"
"If the Ming Dynasty wants to be stable, it must speed up the research and development of firearms and improve its military strength. Only when the military is strong can the Ming Dynasty be strong."
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
"Alas! If firearms were developed to the extreme, a single cannonball could destroy a city. What a pity! These pedantic officials will never understand!"
"I'm afraid this old boy Chongzhen doesn't understand the benefits of upgrading armaments. He only knows how to manage the country well and let the people live a stable life!"
"But they don't know that to achieve all this, they need the support of strong military power. This is also the reason why all his previous policies could not be truly implemented."
Lin Fan sighed in his heart.
However, a flash of light flashed in Chongzhen's eyes. This firearm has been developed to the extreme. Can a cannonball destroy a city?
This is too powerful!
However, this guy is right. His previous policies of loving the people were not really implemented at all, which led to the increasing decline of the Ming Dynasty!
And I have always been weak. The Ming Dynasty was short of silver, so I just tried to get officials to donate, but with little success. After a month, I didn't receive one hundred thousand taels of silver.
Moreover, all the tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty was embezzled by these people. After so many years, there was no less than 100 million taels of silver. Lin Fan took action and directly confiscated his family and exterminated his family!
In less than a month, the Ming Dynasty had more money, had everything, and the chaos was settled.
All of this shows that as an emperor, you must be tough, especially when dealing with these sneaky officials. You must not be soft!
"Okay! What Lin Fan said is very good! Our Ming Dynasty must have a strong military. I strongly support the research on firearms!"
Emperor Chongzhen said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, if you want to study firearms, you need to put the gunpowder factory under the control of the Jinyi Guards. Moreover, the treatment of the people in the gunpowder factory must be increased ten times!"
"Not only that, the imperial court invests more than three million taels of silver in the gunpowder factory every year. Moreover, as long as the gunpowder factory is short of silver for researching firearms, the imperial court will approve the money!"
"Anyone who dares to embezzle the money from the Gunpowder Factory will be killed without mercy!"
Lin Fan said coldly.
ah!
The ministers were dumbfounded. Just researching a firearm actually cost three million taels of silver every year. This put too much pressure on the court's finances!
Someone was just about to open his mouth to persuade, but Chongzhen slapped the throne and said with a big smile: "Okay! Lin Fan, I'm very happy that you can talk about this matter so happily!"
"Three million taels of silver will be allocated directly from the Ministry of Revenue to the Gunpowder Factory, and the Gunpowder Factory will be under the jurisdiction of the Jinyiwei. Ni Yuanlu, the money from the Ministry of Finance must not be spent indiscriminately in the future, but must be spent wisely!
