In the Ministry of War warehouse, everyone was completely stunned by this miniature version of the gun.
"My lord, you are an outstanding talent of our Ming Dynasty. If this kind of firearm can be popularized, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army will reach a higher level." Xiao Chen admired the lord in front of him from the bottom of his heart.
"Haha." The minister paused and said, "My lord, I don't know. This kind of ignition device was just discovered by the official, and there are many areas that need to be improved. Moreover, this kind of device is also extremely complicated. If you want to equip all the troops,
It won’t be possible for a while.”
"With the first one, you can make the second one. I believe that you can live up to expectations and improve all the firing devices for the firearms of our Ming army." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Ashamed." The minister shook his head, "I have been researching on such a miniature handgun for more than a year and just made it recently. A lot of materials require deep processing. At present, our Ming Dynasty
With the national strength of the country, it is really difficult to fully equip the army."
"How long does it take to make a firearm?" Xiao Chen was also stunned, "It seems that the improvement of our Daming firearms has a long way to go. This matter can only be pinned on adults."
"As the Minister of War, and mainly responsible for firearms, I will do my best to improve our Ming Dynasty's firearms." With a slight bow, the Minister handed the small gun in his hand to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen was stunned: "Sir, what is this?"
"At the beginning, the official said that the mysterious gift given to you is this miniature version of the gun." The servant said with a smile.
Xiao Chen waved his hands hurriedly: "I can't do it, I can't do it. This is the crystallization of your efforts for a year, and it will be a reference for the improvement of Daming firearms in the future. How can I take it away casually? I understand your wishes.
, I absolutely cannot accept this weapon."
Seeing Xiao Chen rejecting him, the waiter was obviously surprised.
There are not many people in this world who are not curious about new things. Why am I so unlucky that I happened to meet one?
Originally, I was hoping to use this blunderbuss to build a relationship with Lord Ziyi so that he could speak kindly to the emperor and broaden his career.
Now, he actually rejected his gift, which was really beyond his expectation.
"My lord, I don't know. Although this gun has taken more than a year of hard work by the official, if you want to make a second one, it can be done in half a year at most. This is your wish, please accept it."
The waiter handed out his gun again.
Hong Tianren has been the Minister of the Ministry of War for more than ten years. Now, as he is over seventy years old, he already feels a little overwhelmed. And there are many people in the court who covet the Minister of the Ministry of War.
Although he also moved around in the court and made connections, the purple-clad captain often worked for the emperor, and his recommendation carried much more weight than others.
He worked hard to increase the production time of three hundred fire guns to five days, just to have a good impression in front of the other party that he was capable of doing things.
Now, these three hundred improved handguns were delivered on time, but the small handguns that were originally used as icing on the cake were rejected by the other party. The waiter felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
As if he had sensed the other person's thoughts, Xiao Chen took a step forward and looked at him with a smile: "I understand the intention of the Minister. However, rejecting your gift is not because I don't like it. On the contrary, I like you very much."
I have this little hand gun, and I want to take it as my own. But this is your hard work, and if it stays with you, it will be more useful for the transformation of the firearms of our Ming army."
"Sir, do you really like this little gun?" Listening to Xiao Chen's words, the servant felt much better.
"I like it, I like it very much. When I have nothing to do in the future, I would like to come to the Ministry of War and take a look at this little gun of yours. I wonder if the minister will welcome you?" Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Welcome, welcome." The waiter nodded with a smile on his face.
Giving gifts to Xiao Chen was just to please him so that he could be promoted to Minister of War.
Now, he said that he would come to the Ministry of War Warehouse more often in the future, which was a great thing. As long as he was given the chance to get in touch with him, I don't believe he couldn't please him.
As long as you can sit in the position of Minister of the Ministry of War, even if you are humble, so what?!
"Okay, it's settled. Today, I will transport these three hundred fire blunderbuss back first, so that I can disturb the Lord Assistant in the future. I hope you won't find me annoying." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"My lord, you are joking. You are dressed in purple, and the entire military department can come and go at will, not to mention my small military department warehouse. Since you don't want this hand gun, I will put it away. However, if the officer makes the second decision,
Second, I hope you won’t refuse." Looking at Xiao Chen, the waiter smiled happily.
"The second one, I will never refuse." Xiao Chen also laughed happily.
The three carriages, under the protection of everyone, slowly left the Ministry of War warehouse and walked towards the direction of the Thirteenth Battle.
"That thing just now is very exquisite. I wanted to give it to you, so why don't you want it?" Duan Tianming, who was walking next to him, felt very unhappy.
When he came, Xiao Chen also said that there was a mysterious gift. This was good, but he didn't receive the gift after seeing him.
Xiao Chen stopped and gave Duan Tianming a hard look: "What is that?"
Duan Tianming was startled: "It's a gun."
"Is it a firearm?" Xiao Chen asked sharply.
Duan Tianming scratched his head, wondering why Xiao Chen was suddenly so harsh, and whispered: "Handgun, of course it is a firearm."
"Do you know how much trouble the factory master and I went through to be able to equip the Dongchang with these 300 firearms? You are not unaware of how strict the Ming Dynasty was in managing firearms, and the emperor was even more afraid of firearms.
It was like a war broke out. These three hundred firearms were not only approved by the Emperor, but also by Hong Tianren, Minister of the Ministry of War, who finally agreed after checking them at all levels. And the Minister of the Ministry of War gave me a gun, Dongchang
The number of firearms increased to three hundred and one. If the emperor knew about it, and if Hong Tianren, the Minister of War, knew about it, there would be no hope of establishing the Dongchang Shenji Service."
Looking at Duan Tianming, Xiao Chen's eyes were solemn.
"Then tell me, the Minister of War insists on giving you a gun. What does he want to do? He should know better about the strict management of Daming firearms?!" Duan Tianming seemed to have reacted suddenly.
"He is just eyeing the position of Minister of the Ministry of War. If I didn't have this purple clothes, he wouldn't give me a gun." Xiao Chen smiled faintly.
"What if he deliberately wants to increase the number of firearms in Dongchang to 301?" Liu Rufeng, who had been silent for the whole time, whispered.
