surnamed Wang

Chapter 58 Besieged on All Sides (Please read more!!!)
It is true that the old emperor was very angry at Wang Bingquan, and this kid is even addicted to being a teacher.

Seeing that the other party was about to lose his temper, Wang Gingquan continued to speak quickly: "This... um... Father's words are very reasonable. Don't worry about the rate of fire. Since I brought it up, it will definitely produce a cannon with excellent performance."

After speaking honestly about how to restrain the Tatar cavalry, Wang Gangquan pointed his finger to the upper right of the map.

"This place is called Taligan Dusi, and my father must be very familiar with it. You established this area more than ten years ago to defend Donghan.

But here is a place of bitter cold, and the Southern Qiang tribe has been entrenched here for generations. The Southern Qiang tribe seems to submit to the dynasty, but after all, it is not of our Han blood. The Taliban capital will be left alone and helpless, and enemies from the north and northeast will be able to take the capital directly. "

"The Southern Qiang tribe rebelled?" The old and new emperors fell into deep thought at the same time. Although since the establishment of the dynasty, the Southern Qiang has always been a gesture of submission, but it is not because of the remaining prestige of the Taizu Emperor. If a few decades later, With the new generation of Nanqiang people taking power, I am afraid that the emperor Taizu rode on horseback and beat them with a whip. It is not impossible for Nanqiang to rebel.

Thinking of this time, the two of them couldn't help sweating, but Wang Gangquan still couldn't stop talking, and continued to speak:
"Let's continue to look at the southeast coast. The southeast coast looks rich and there is no threat from neighboring countries, but there is a place called Dongying further east across the sea. This place is still in war, and there will be rogues sailing across the ocean from time to time. The sea invaded the territory of our dynasty, they refused to obey their teachings, they were ruthless and fierce, and they were not afraid of death, usually a dozen people can deter the army of dozens of people in the dynasty."

At this moment, the two people on the opposite side were already speechless in astonishment. The Japanese pirates plundered merchant ships and the southeast coast, which happened one after another in the last six months.

Just like what Wang Qingquan said, they are brave and fearless, and they often kill troops several times their own, and the dynasty army is not very good at naval battles, so they can't effectively pursue them, so they can easily escape every time, because of this The matter was too embarrassing, so the court kept it secret.

But now the southeast coast has begun to train an army to deal with Japanese pirates. Wang Bingxian only came into contact with these things after he ascended the throne. I don't know where Wang Bingquan got the news.

"Also, in Xichi in the west, although the country is poor and the soldiers are weak, they have sent monks to the Central Plains for a long time to spread the scriptures and preach. Now in the area close to Xichi, almost everyone believes in Buddhism. If there is no Brother Wuhuang there Press it, I'm afraid it will be reversed long ago."

Sheng Endi and Xian Endi couldn't care less about being surprised now. If there were traces of the Japanese pirates on the southeast coast before, then the infiltration of Xichi religion could not be detected just by clues.

Ordinary people would definitely not think about that, after all, Buddhism advises people to be kind.However, Buddhism in the Central Plains was spread for thousands of miles, and it has long been integrated into the local Confucianism and Taoism. The closer the Buddhism is to Xichi, the more slanted the sword is. Compared with the Buddhism in the hinterland, it can be said to be the opposite.

Since the founding of the dynasty, the attitude towards religion has always been laissez-faire. At that time, a very far-sighted scholar in the court once bluntly said that the Zen of the Western Red Esoteric School would be a serious problem for the dynasty.

At that time, no one took it seriously, but the turmoil that occurred in Qu Xianwei later sounded the alarm for the dynasty.Since then, the dynasty has begun to pay more and more attention to the Western Red Tantra.The bachelor who issued the warning back then was also promoted in an exceptional way, and was directly promoted to a first-rank bachelor in charge of religious affairs. As for how he handled it, that's another story.

But in general, religion is a seemingly harmless thing, but it will actually affect the stability of the dynasty.From this we can see how vicious Wang Gangquan's vision is.

"To sum up, we are now besieged on all sides. If we want to deal with them, blindly expanding the army will only increase expenses and waste money. It is more practical to upgrade the guys in hand, so I want to set up a new ordnance factory, mainly I don’t know why you two are satisfied with the production of firecrackers and cannons?”

Hearing that Wang Quanquan had finished speaking, the other two were stunned for a while, and they were still immersed in shock and did not come out. In the end, Emperor Shengen nodded first and replied: "Just do as you said, I will give you a decree, what's the matter?" If there is a need, just carry out the decree and do it.”

Immediately, the new emperor drew up an edict, sealed it and handed it over to the king.

"Look at you two!" Then he went out in a hurry.

The two people who stayed in the room looked at each other, and Wang Bingxian spoke first: "Father's choice is indeed right. The emperor has a unique insight into politics and pays attention to current affairs. In these two points, my son is not as good as him. It's a pity..."

The old emperor nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Unfortunately, he has no ambition." Wang Bingxian was noncommittal, but it also explained his attitude.

Wang Gangquan, who is in the hands of the imperial court, is very confident. First, he went to the Ministry of Finance to approve the money. Naturally, the Ministry of Accounting still refused to give it. Wang Gangquan didn't bother to talk nonsense with them. He was so scared that he hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy, and the funds were naturally approved smoothly.

Then Wang Gangquan went to the Yantie Division again, and ordered a batch of iron pipes with the money given by the user department, and repeatedly asked that they must meet the requirements. Salt Iron Envoy did it right.

Having settled everything, Wang Bingquan went directly to the Liu Mansion, and after confirming to the housekeeper that Mr. Liu Ge was not at home, he swaggered into the Liu Mansion and went all the way to Liu Luming's studio.At this time, Liu Luming was busy testing the homework that Wang Gangquan had left for him yesterday, when he saw Wang Gangquan coming in, he said excitedly: "Brother Wang, the machine is ready, please take a look at it."

Wang Gangquan stepped forward to check it out, and then pointed out that some areas could be optimized, while Liu Luming listened humbly.

"Brother Wang, I always thought that no one would be interested in these things except me. I didn't expect that Brother Wang is so proficient in these strange and obscene skills, and his level is far superior. I really feel inferior!" Liu Luming couldn't help feeling, Although everything he did was not recognized by outsiders, but he was born as a confidant, and it somewhat tasted like he would die without regrets.

Wang Gangquan shook his head: "This statement is wrong. 'Extraordinary obscenity and skill' is just a misconception of the world. In my opinion, this is not only an unreasonable way of doing things, but a feat that benefits society. Just imagine , if no one invented papyrus, everyone would still be wiping their asses with stones and leaves."

The words were rough but not rough, Liu Luming stepped forward and grabbed Wang Gangquan's hands, "Brother Wang said it very well", which seemed to be a bit of sympathy for seeing each other and hating the late meeting.
