Chapter 52 Jinzhou Rebellion

"Anyway, just help me order some gunpowder mixing and pressing machines. It must be black powder and have the corresponding formula.

I will send you the dimensional drawings of the gun barrel. If Yemen orders it, it shouldn’t be considered a controlled material, right?"

"Oh, I still recommend you to switch to smokeless gunpowder. There are no factories for black powder now.

Well, if you want it, I can just find it for you. There are many factories in Yemen from the last century, so gun barrels are easier to find. I will order a batch for you from Baba Sheep, and you can just tell me the dimensions."

Modern rifled barrels, even those made by places like Baba Sheep, are durable. The only disadvantage for flintlock guns is that they are easy to clog and need to be cleaned frequently.

"By the way, Minister Haima, I need a contact person to register import and export companies in several countries. I can order supplies in large quantities from China. Do you have any recommendations from anyone in this field?"

"You have to ask an American guy about this. I'll make a call for you and ask a guy. He's doing business between the United States and Singapore."

After Haima finished the call, he gave Chen Ye a call. Chen Ye followed the call and made an appointment with an American man named Lewis.

"Hello, Mr. Lewis."

"Mr. Chen, Minister Haima has told me your needs. There are corresponding methods based on different national and regional policies.

I can arrange for you a company under your own name, or controlled by you and your designated account, to ensure that all company orders are normal.

At least according to the Chinese official website, these companies still need to have permanent employees in the country where they are located, which will be a fixed expense for you."

Chen Ye's demand is not high, and even these leather goods companies don't even need financial audits. Chen Ye gave the order and paid the money.

The shipment is directly to Daming Dynasty. As long as someone from the company answers the phone, Chen Ye's domestic company will be responsible for quality control of the goods.

"Money is not a problem. I hope to set up these companies as soon as possible. At least when I have an order in a week, they can help me pay."

"No problem, we are all about efficiency. As long as your money is in place, our staff is guaranteed to be as efficient as the lovely Chinese people."

"Then I wish us happy cooperation."

After Luvis left, Chen Ye sent a message to Su Qing, telling him not to purchase gun barrels, but only to purchase other parts of the flintlock gun that were more loosely controlled.

In Jinzhou during the Ming Dynasty, Zu Dashou was also in a hurry.

"Commander, Wu Basi said he has a stomachache and can't come for the time being."

"What? My stomach hurts? It hurts like crazy. Damn it. Call Qian Hongwen over."

Zu Dashou laughed angrily. He was summoned from the army. Even if he had a stomachache, he wouldn't just say he couldn't come. At most, it would delay it for a while.

With Chongzhen's reminder, in order to prevent Wu Basi from directly taking action, he specially thought of a plan to let Wu Basi go to the inner city to discuss military affairs, and at the same time deployed troops, and waited until he was taken down to eliminate the Mongolian army.

Unexpectedly, just a few days after meeting Jiannu, he actually didn't dare to see him anymore, saying that he didn't have a guilty conscience and that he was not really a traitor.

Jinzhou Outer City Dongguan.

Wu Basi walked around in the tent.

"Oh, brother, please stop spinning. It makes me dizzy."

"But I'm anxious. Except at the end of the month, the commander-in-chief only calls us when he distributes food and wages. We just had contact with people from the Qing Dynasty the day before yesterday, and today we asked people to come to me. Do you think the commander-in-chief knows something?

"

"How is it possible to know? Did he plant eyes outside our camp? I'd say you're just worrying about it, and you also said you have a stomachache. If this is any good, you won't be able to go."

"Do you still want benefits? In the current situation, the imperial court cannot provide money to assist Jinzhou. Jinzhou has also had no harvest from last year to this year. In this situation, you still want benefits?"

Wu Basi glared at his younger brother.

"You ask people to keep an eye on various military camps to see if there are any gatherings. If so, come back and tell me immediately."

"Brother, do you think the commander already knows about our agreement with Jiannu? No, there's not even a note."

"You idiot, I really want to know if you are my brother. Do you need evidence for this? As long as we are suspected, there will definitely be no good results.

And I feel that the commander-in-chief is equally confident around us."

Wu Basi kicked his younger brother, and then he let this useless thing cover his butt and run out of the tent to inform people to pay attention to the movements of the military camps.

Within half an hour, Wu Basi's younger brother ran over in a panic.

"Brother, brother, brother! It's not good! Qian Hongwen, the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Army, is gathering men, and he didn't say what to do with the men."

"I know it, I know it. Get people ready quickly. Forget it, you take people there. Hurry up and go to Daling River to inform Prince Heshuo."

"Ah? Got it, I'll go right away."

Seeing his brother's sudden enlightenment, Wu Basi couldn't help but sigh.

"Only life and death can make people run fast!"

When Qian Wenhong and his men rushed to Dongguan "secretly", the Mongolian soldiers from Qianhu Station in Dongguan were already on their horses.

"Brothers! The general has abandoned the dark side and surrendered to the bright side, and joined the Qing Dynasty. Heshuo and the prince have said that anyone who turns against the bright side today will be rewarded! Everyone has been promoted to a higher level. Come with me!"

"The general said, if you kill in the inner city, you will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver for each man! Five women will be rewarded!"

"Oh, let me go, why did these Mongolians take action in advance? Get out of the way!"

Because of the open terrain and the presence of Mongolian soldiers in Dongguan, there are very few houses in the entire area. It is considered the only area in Jinxiu City where horse racing can be conducted.

Ordinary sergeants were naturally unable to withstand the cavalry attack. The sergeants Qian Wenhong secretly brought over to prepare for a surprise attack on the Mongols were simply scattered.

From the direction of the east gate of the inner city, looking at the outer city that was suddenly being hacked, the city guarding sergeant closed the city gate directly, ignoring the retreating rear army.

Qian Wenhong, who was holding a sword, was using extremely expressive vocabulary to greet him while resisting the sudden rebellion of the Mongolian cavalry.

Of course, Wu Basi did not want to invade the inner city. With their ability, they would only be swallowed up by the army of the inner city if they rushed in. He was just intimidating the people who defended the city.

As long as the inner city is closed, they will be in a defensive state for a while and will not come out. They will be safe until the Qing army arrives.

Because by that time, the entire city gate will really never be opened again.

At the Daling River, Jierhalang led two banners and arrived. He was very satisfied with the news brought back by the messenger the day before yesterday, so he rushed to the Daling River today and looked in the distance towards Jinzhou.

While I was drinking milk tea, suddenly the soldiers brought someone over.

"Your Highness the Prince, really His Highness the Prince, please help His Highness the Prince. Zu Dashou wants to harm my brother, and my brother has already started a fight with the Han army in Jinzhou."

Wu Basi followed the instructions before entering the door and saw Heshuo's prince's python robe. He bowed to the end and kowtowed in prayer.
