Capital Datang

Chapter 497 Firearms for nothing?

Li Yin came out of the main hall, looked back at the mother and daughter of the Wu family who were talking and laughing, and suddenly felt like a big stone was missing in his heart, after all, he was really sorry for Mrs. And all these years, he has been unable to tell the other party the news that Wu Meiniang is still alive, which makes Li Yin feel a little guilty. Now that Mrs. Yang finally sees Meiniang, and she will live in the future, this also gives him a chance Make up for the damage done to the old man.

After leaving Wu Meiniang's small courtyard, Li Yin came to the front courtyard of the palace again. There are many courtyards here for guests, among which Li Zhen and Li Yun are arranged to rest here.But now Li Yun's concubine and Wen Xin are visiting the palace together. Wu Meiniang is very happy to see her second sister, and she may not come back tonight, so now there is no one around Li Yun and Li Zhen. When Li Yun finds them, the two Drinking tea in the garden in the front yard to hangover.

Although Li Zhen pretended to be drunk before, she did drink a lot. When he came back, he lay down for a while, but couldn't fall asleep anyway, so he just got up, ran to Li Yun's place and pulled him up, and then the two came Drink tea in the front garden.

"Eighth brother, I think you and sixth brother seem to have something to do, otherwise, with your drinking capacity, I'm afraid you won't be drunk even if I'm drunk, and looking at you now, you don't look drunk at all." Li Yun looked at Li Zhendao with a smile that was not a smile. At the banquet before, he could see that something was wrong between Li Zhen and the sixth elder brother Li Yun, but since they didn't say anything, he didn't want to ask too much. Now it's just him and Li Zhen , so this question came out.

When Li Zhen heard this, she said with a smile: "Seventh Brother, don't ask, I guess Sixth Brother is being scolded now." Capital Datang 497

Li Yun was even more confused after hearing this, the sixth brother Li Yun is the master here.And the whole of Taiwan is his territory, who dares to scold him?Even turn over the entire Tang Dynasty.There are probably very few people who are qualified to scold him, and these people are still in Chang'an.In this way, who else would dare to scold Li Yin?

Seeing that Li Yun didn't understand, Li Zhen didn't explain. It wasn't that he didn't trust Li Yun, but that this matter was too sensitive. Naturally, the less people knew about it, the better.

At this moment, Li Yin finally found them, walked into the pavilion with a big smile and said, "Why, you two have been on the boat for so many days. I don't know how to go here to drink tea gone?"

After hearing this, Li Yun smiled wryly and said: "It's because the sixth brother knows how to love others. I was about to fall asleep, but the eighth brother insisted on dragging me to drink tea. I really don't know where he got the energy from?"

After hearing this, Li Zhen gave Li Yun a blank look, and then said to Li Yun with a smile: "Sixth Brother, don't listen to Seventh Brother's nonsense, when I went to him just now, he still had the energy to flirt with his concubine ..."

Li Yun heard Li Zhen tell his lie.Moreover, he also told about his flirting with the concubine, and immediately rushed forward with some embarrassment, trying to stop Li Zhen from talking, but unfortunately, Li Zhen moved very quickly.He walked away with a smile on his face, and while he had time to dodge, he asked Li Yin: "Brother Six, have you finished your work?"

Li Yin nodded with a smile.Then he poured himself a cup of tea, because Li Yun was there.So he didn't say anything either.Li Yun also seemed to be only interested in gagging Li Zhen's mouth, and didn't ask anything else.

It was hard to wait for Li Yun and Li Zhen to calm down.Only then did Li Yin put down his teacup, and then said with a smile: "Seventh brother, eighth brother, you can give up everything in Datang, and develop overseas with me. I ordered people to collect it. I have already sent it to you some time ago. During this time, I have some new information. I will send it to you in a while. In addition, if you have any difficulties, feel free to mention it to me. As long as I can help, I will definitely not refuse!"

At the banquet just now, the three of them talked about some personal matters, and now they really talked about the serious business.

When Li Yun and Li Zhen heard Li Yin's words, they immediately sat upright, among them, Li Zhen was the first to speak: "Thank you brother six, the information you gave us has been of great help, as for the difficulties..."

Li Zhen looked at Li Yun at this point, and then said: "As for the difficulties, there are indeed many, the most important of which is that we need a batch of firearms, including artillery, muskets and grenades. There are some sabers, leather armor and other ordnance, which also need to be purchased from the sixth brother."

"Firearms?" Li Yin frowned after hearing this. He didn't know that Li Shimin had lent Datang's firearms troops to Li Zhen and Li Yun, so he was a little puzzled and said, "It's okay if you want grenades, but Both muskets and artillery require professional arms, and it takes a lot of time to train them. It takes at least half a year to form an army. You don’t have time at all. In addition, you have very few Han troops in your hands. The others are grassland people. You don’t know how to Do you want to train these prairie people into firearms troops?"

Li Yin has a vigilant attitude towards those ethnicities other than the Han nationality. Even if he implements the strategy of Sinicization in the territory, he will never give important power to the Han nationality until those alien races are completely integrated into the Han nationality. For example, in the formation of the firearms unit, the most important thing is that all soldiers must be of Han nationality.

Li Yun and Li Zhen were a little complacent after hearing this, and among them, Li Yun continued to laugh and said, "You don't know, Sixth Brother, we now have a ready-made firearms unit, but because this unit is special, it is still in Chang'an. It is estimated that it will take three months to reach Taiwan."

As Li Yun said, he told about the fact that Li Shimin agreed to lease the Datang Firearms Troop, but after hearing this, Li Yun complained that it was unfair. When he attacked Silla and Baekje, he only rented ordinary troops from Zhang Jian. But now that the two younger brothers have come out, Li Shimin has brought out Jingui's firearms unit, both of whom are also sons, so why are they treated differently?

However, Li Zhen and Li Yun curled their lips when Li Yin called Qu. No one in the entire Tang Dynasty knew that their father and emperor liked the sixth brother in front of him the most. The policy of emigrating from the sixth brother made their brothers jealous. Unfortunately, the population of Datang is not large now. One Li Yin immigrant has already made many ministers dissatisfied. If the two of them are added, it will definitely attract all the ministers. Impeach.

Naturally, Li Yin wasn't really jealous, it was just a little joke, but seeing that the two younger brothers didn't show face, he smiled a little embarrassedly, then put away his smiling face and said, "Well, since you all already have If you need any firearms, you can make a list, and I will ask you to quote a price, but you have to be mentally prepared, all firearms are not cheap, even if I only want a cost price, it is certainly not small amount."

Upon hearing Li Yin's words, Li Yun and Li Zhen immediately looked bitter, and among them, Li Zhen cried poorly: "Sixth brother, you also know that our two brothers still have all the properties in the family behind you. In order to earn some pocket money, although we sold all those properties this time, we are poor and useless overseas, and we need money for everything. We have spent a large part of it just to raise various materials, and there is really not much left. So do you see if you can send a batch of firearms to the brothers?"

Li Yin didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard it, and said helplessly: "Eighth brother, if you want food, cloth and other things, it's okay to give them to you, but firearms are not ordinary weapons, and I also know that the father has them If you rent all the artillery and musketeers, you will need at least 100 cannons and 497 muskets. I don’t have much in stock right now. The firearms in my army will be given to you first, and so many cannons and muskets will cost at least [-] million guns together. This amount of money is also a huge number for me. Brother, I really can’t afford it. !” Capital Datang [-]

"Hiss~" Upon hearing the cost of the firearms they needed, Li Zhen and Li Yun also gasped. They only knew that firearms were expensive and that there were not many troops equipped with them, but they never expected that they would be so expensive, more than 100 million guns. , This is also a huge number for Datang, let alone their two poor princes.

Seeing the dejected looks of Li Zhen and Li Yun, he smiled secretly in his heart. His words just now were a bit watery. Last year, the Thunderbolt Academy developed a new type of musket and musket, although it was not much different from the old one. But it is easier to operate than before, and the accuracy has increased, so his firearms unit is changing during this period, and the replaced firearms can just be given to Li Zhen and Li Yun, but although they are old firearms , but in fact, the maintenance is very good, and although the price is a bit exaggerated, it is at most an increase of [-] to [-]% in the actual price.And the reason why he said so, naturally has his intention.

"Sixth brother, 100 million guan is too expensive. To tell you the truth, my seventh brother and I only prepared a total of 150 million guan this time, and most of them were exchanged for supplies. There is not much cash in hand. Although uncle helped me prepare some Money, but those are the expenses of the army and the construction of the fortress, which are prepared to go to Tianzhu, and they can't be moved now!" Li Zhen complained again.And Li Yun next to him also smiled wryly.

Li Yin saw that the timing was about the same, he lowered his head as if he was thinking about something, and after a while, he suddenly raised his head and said: "Forget it, Brother Six also knows that it is not easy for you, and this time you are going to Tianzhu, you It also takes a lot of risk, so this time the sixth brother is in charge, so I will give you the firearms in my hand!"

As Li Yin said, he pretended to be very sad and waved his hand, as if someone had cut a piece of flesh from his body.

Hearing that Li Yin gave them the firearms, Li Zhen and Li Yun were both very happy, but seeing Li Yin's distressed look made them a little embarrassed, and Li Yun said: "Sixth brother, otherwise we should pay some money, otherwise we will feel sorry."

Just waiting for your words!Li Yin said happily in his heart, although he wanted to help Li Zhen and Li Yun, but asking him to send out 80 guns at once was enough to make him feel distressed for a long time.In fact, although Li Zhen and Li Yun don't have the ability to pay the money now, it doesn't mean they won't have it in the future. At least in front of them, there is a huge treasure. (To be continued. Mobile phone users please go to read.)
