The Emperor's Son-in-Law

"That's not okay."

"The entire Knight Rider builds its own weapons."

"Military expenditures have to spend most of the money, and the expenditure is on ordnance..."

Duan Chun frowned.

"What can I do?"

"Fortunately, His Majesty is very kind to our Cavalry Guard."

"Every year we will provide more military spending."

"Otherwise, we will be overwhelmed by the Ordnance Department of the Ministry of War."

Xu Wu said disdainfully.

Duan Chun lowered his head and stopped asking, he already understood.

Dad's Cavalry Guard must have built many workshops in several military towns in various places.

Create enough ordnance specifically for the Cavalry Guards.

But after looking at the arrow just now, Duan Chun already understood.

The military workshop built by my father was not only made of useless materials.

Technology is also extremely backward.

He stood up immediately, under the puzzled gazes of Xu Wu and Yuanda.

He hurried out of the hall and came to the door.

"Uncle Zhang and Uncle Zhao, open these boxes."

"How about showing me the weapons of the Ordnance Department?"

Duan Chun said.

"As you command!"

Zhang Wu and Zhao Changlong immediately led the sergeants to open the wooden boxes one by one.

Duan Chun walked to the wooden box and looked at the shiny rifles among the straw.

Wooden bows and bundles of arrows.

He had just seen the arrows of the Knight Cavalry, and then took out an arrow from the Ordnance Department.

With just one glance, Duan Chun understood the difference.

The arrows produced by the Knight Rider's workshop are far less refined than the arrows produced by the Ordnance Department.

However, the materials used by the Cavalry Guard are far more solid than those from the Ordnance Division's workshop.

Just because the craftsmen of the Cavalry Guard are all veterans, they know how to forge ordnance to ensure the lives of their brothers.

Duan Chun's eyes were fixed on the arrowheads of the Ordnance Department's arrows.

Although the two arrows are somewhat different, Duan Chun understands the actual situation.

Neither of these two arrow clusters can fully utilize the arrow's flight distance and armor-piercing ability.

The Ordnance Division uses the simplest two-winged arrowhead, while the Cavalry Guard uses a three-winged arrowhead.

It is the so-called three-edged arrowhead, but its three wings are very large.

This kind of arrowhead is really backward.

He already knew what to do.

This time when he came to the army camp, Duan Chun couldn't help but have the idea of ​​​​helping his father transform ordnance.

There is even one who can help Dad build more military workshops and help the Knights make a lot of money!

Moreover, it can also help Emperor Dakang save more military expenses...

"My dear nephew, what are you..."

While Xu Wu was still curious about Duan Chun's actions, he heard the sound of horse hooves and shouts coming from a distance.

"The general is back!"

"The general is mighty!"

…

Uniform shouts echoed throughout the three schools.

The sergeants who were training in the school field had already seen the general riding a war horse.

He led his guards into the military camp at lightning speed.

Duan Chun raised his head and looked at his father...

Only now did he realize that Duke Duan Ning's prestige in the military was so amazing!

The war cavalry galloped, Duan Ning wearing a mighty bright light armor and black cloak.

The war horses came in a hurry.

Wherever his horse passed, the sergeants knelt down neatly in rows and saluted.

"I heard that my child is here?"

Duan Ning's war cavalry charged wildly, but before anyone arrived, a thunderous sound resounded over the military stronghold.

"Meet the General!"

Suddenly, everyone bent down and saluted with fists in their hands.

"My little boy, Duan Chun, wants to meet my father."

Duan Chun put down the arrow and bowed.

"Chun'er is here."

"In the military camp, there is no father for you."

"Next time you can only call me General."

Duan Ning jumped off his horse and threw the whip to the captain behind him.

Smiling, he strode over to help Duan Chun up.

"Everyone is free of charge."

Duan Ning waved his hand casually, but when he saw the carriage and ordnance in front of him.

His eyes suddenly widened.

"Who sent this weapon to me?"

"Did you treat me like a beggar?"

Duan Ning turned around and shouted angrily.

"General, please forgive me!"

"I just received your Majesty's order yesterday."

"The general sent a letter this afternoon."

"The subordinates quickly followed the general's military orders to escort the ordnance without delay."

"But the treasury is empty..."

Yuanda quickly clasped his fists and explained.

"It turns out that Mr. Yuan personally escorted it."

"But these ordnances don't even amount to three thousand people."

"How do you want me to go on an expedition?"

Duan Ning asked coldly.

"General, calm down."

"The general should be very aware of the situation in the Ordnance Department."

"Blaming Lord Yuan will not do anything."

Duan Chun said with cupped fists.

"Major General, you will accompany Mr. Yuan to the military camp today."

"Is it Master Yuan's idea or your own?"

A sharp male voice sounded from the bodyguards.

This voice... sounds like that of a eunuch.

Duan Chun looked around in confusion and saw a scribe wearing a long gown.

He landed from the horse with the help of his bodyguards.

Walking quickly towards the crowd.

Duan Chun was even more curious because he had never seen this person in his memory...

When this person appeared, Duan Chun was not the most surprised.

But it was Yuanda who stood aside with his head lowered and smiling in apology.

The first time he saw this person, his heart skipped a beat.

The face was suddenly covered with fine beads of sweat!

Oh my god, why did he return to the imperial capital...

What to do now?

"Chun'er, hurry up and meet Mr. Gan."

"He is my general's right-hand man, the person I trust the most."

"It is Gan Yuanyuan, the supervisor of the army sent by His Majesty to the Knight Cavalry Guard."

Duan Ning said.

"Junior pays homage to Uncle Gan."

When Duan Chun heard this, he immediately understood.

This military supervisor should be the supervisor sent by the ancient emperor to the army.

Help the emperor monitor the movements of generals and troops.

He has a lot of authority!

"You're welcome, Major General."

"Major General, don't think that I am a eunuch who specializes in supervising the general."

"I'm just helping the general come up with ideas."

"I just heard the Major General say that there is no need to blame Mr. Yuan."

"I beg to differ."

"If Master Yuan is not blamed this time, the Ordnance Department will take the General's military orders less and less seriously in the future."

"This time it's about the general's upcoming expedition to the west."

"If this continues, the Ordnance Department of the Ministry of War will no longer be able to rely on it!"

Gan Changyuan looked at Yuanda and said coldly.

"Mr. Gan, please spare your life!"

Yuanda was so frightened that he quickly knelt down on his knees.

Duan Chun was dumbfounded...

Who is this Superintendent Gan?

Why would a fourth-grade minister be so timid?

You know, Yuanda is the director of the Ordnance Department of the Ministry of War, and when he is transferred to the local area, he will be a proper county guard.

In front of this middle-aged eunuch, he wouldn't be so frightened...

"Forget it, Lao Gan."

"He is Lao Yuan's younger brother after all."

"No matter what, you have to look at the kindness of your old friend."

Duan Ning said softly.

Duan Chun was even more stunned. He thought his father would add fuel to the fire and directly order the arrest.

But I didn't expect that Dad would still intercede for Yuanda.

"For the sake of the general and the young general, the father and son are interceding for you."

"I'll spare you just once."

"All remaining ordnance must be gathered within ten days."

"Otherwise, don't blame me for not giving Lao Yuan face!"

Gan Changyuan shouted coldly.

"Thank you for your forgiveness, Mr. Gan!"

"I must gather the weapons within ten days."

"Don't dare to delay..."

Yuanda was so frightened that his whole body trembled.

"Go away."

Gan Changyuan waved his long sleeves and shouted.

"I'll take my leave."

Yuanda quickly wiped his sweat, turned around and almost lost his ability to walk.
