Chapter 576: Detaining the King of Korea

Both Zhu Youxiao and Sun Chengzong were very satisfied with Li Zong's statement. The two of them had no intention of continuing to say it. They took Li Zong to have dinner together, and after dinner, they sent Li Zong away.

What Li Zong thought doesn’t matter.

After Li Zong left, Sun Chengzong and Zhu Youxiao were drinking tea and chatting together.

Regarding this matter, we need to communicate. Sun Chengzong felt that he should talk to His Majesty.

"Your Majesty, is it a bit inappropriate to sell weapons to them?" Sun Chengzong asked hesitantly.

What Sun Chengzong hesitated was not about selling weapons, but about taking into account Zhu Youxiao's attitude.

This emperor thought a lot about things and was very decisive in his work. Generally speaking, it was not that easy to persuade him. So this made Sun Chengzong feel a little cautious, for fear of angering His Majesty and causing His Majesty to have a rebellious mentality.

After looking at Sun Chengzong, Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "What do you think I want to sell them?"

"There are so many weapons in the warehouses in the capital now. If you don't have to worry about it, you will all be abandoned there. It's good to sell them some, at least you can make some money back."

When Sun Chengzong heard that it was a weapon in the warehouse in the capital, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He is the Chief Secretary of Staff of the Office. Of course, he knows what weapons are in the warehouses in the capital, and they are basically eliminated.

In addition to flintlock rifles, there are also some clamp guns and there are many artillery guns, but they are not the later steel cannons, many of which are early bronze cannons and tiger squat cannons.

There are many other things that come from the Jiajing Dynasty. Not to mention using them, they cost a lot of money to repair them every year.

The Ministry of War has already said that there is no need for these things to exist and are ready to be rebuilt. The reclaimed iron tools are used to forge kitchen utensils or agricultural utensils.

As for the recovered bronzes, you can make some jewelry, or see if they can be made into copper plates. If so, it would be the best.

And depending on what His Majesty meant, he planned to sell these things to the North Koreans.

"Can they agree with this?" Sun Chengzong really hesitated this time.

He said with some uncertainty: "These things are different from what they see. What if they don't want them?"

"Why don't they want it?" Zhu Youxiao said naturally: "These things are much worse than what we use, but they are much better than their own, and even much better than the Japanese ones. Why don't they buy them?"

"Buying is better than not buying. Want our most advanced ones? We are not enough for ourselves."

Sun Chengzong nodded.

However, he had a problem of protecting short-term protection again and said hesitantly: "For them, can they study these things by themselves? They can even develop them by themselves? If they are allowed to study them, we will have great trouble."

"It's better to give these things to the border troops or to the local garrison troops. There are still many people who can't use such equipment. Our Ming Dynasty is also short of them now. Although it's not the best and is a little behind, it's better than what we use now, right?"

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Sun Chengzong and sighed: "If our things can be so easy to imitate, that would be great."

Zhu Youxiao's words were really inspired.

How many years has the Ming Dynasty spent and how much money it invested, so that we can gain what we are doing now?

It is impossible for others to imitate the Ming Dynasty research and development, but the industrial foundation is here. If you want to imitate, you must have the capital.

Not to mention this time, World War II was not enough. If the Qing Dynasty wanted to produce rifles, Jiang Guangtou wanted to produce rifles, then they all had to be introduced into the production line.

Want to imitate by yourself?

It's simply a fool! It's unqualified for steelmaking and steelmaking, and all kinds of processes are not qualified. What are you doing?

The clamp and flintlock rifle are both equipped with muskets in front, and they are different from the rear-mounted gun they use now.

How much effort does it take to just a metal fixed ammunition? How can it be so easy to make it?

Zhu Youxiao was very confident at this point. By the time North Korea created it, the Ming Dynasty had already been replaced.

Zhu Youxiao said: "I have thought about using it for our people. But you must understand that if the royal family members are not given to local troops, they may cause their dissatisfaction. At that time, the border troops and the personal troops will be in opposition, which will be bad."

What Zhu Youxiao was considering was actually just a simple consideration, and it was not a reason at all. If you want to use this to convince Sun Chengzong, there was no hope at all.

Because of maintaining the equipment of the central army and the generation gap between the local army, this kind of thing is not only done by the Ming Dynasty, but also by all dynasties.

The most outstanding ones were the imperial guards and the wing army of the Song Dynasty, which were completely different things.

If you don’t accept it, what conflicts have you ever caused?

That doesn't exist at all. As long as people are transferred from local governments to the personal army every year to maintain this kind of mobility, there will be no problem at all.

Sun Chengzong probably understood that His Majesty looked down on those things and did not want to equip his country's military.

But he could understand that if these old things could be sold, it would definitely not be a cheap price.

Isn’t it great to use this money to make new equipment? Why use these old equipment again?

The new equipment will definitely make more people like it.

"Then it's up to your Majesty." Sun Chengzong nodded and said, "After I go back, I will take out a charter to see the specific price. Go to the capital to count the inventory first and see how much things I can take out to sell them."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and smiled gently, "It's so good."

"Don't care too much about the North Korean king Li Zong. When I return to the capital this time, I plan to take him with me and let him go to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to take a look. As for when I will come back, I will wait until the matter is over."

Zhu Youxiao did this, but there was actually a suspicion of kidnapping hostages.

If there were any rebellions in North Korea after Li Zong arrived in the capital and someone rebelled, it would be great, and the Ming Dynasty would have a better excuse to send troops to North Korea.

What a good reason to help you quell the rebellion!

At that time, Li Zong will definitely beg for the Ming Dynasty, and after the Ming army enters North Korea, it will not be so easy to come out.

Sun Chengzong and Zhu Youxiao discussed this matter. They also understood His Majesty’s idea. Since they understood the idea and did not have much impact, there was no need to persuade them. Just go back and prepare well.

"If there is nothing else, I will say goodbye." Sun Chengzong said directly.

Zhu Youxiao nodded, said nothing, and watched Sun Chengzong leave.

Sun Chengzong is gone.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Chen Hong who was standing beside him and said, "Let this news be released so that everyone knows that the Ming Dynasty and North Korea have agreed, and the Ming Dynasty is also preparing to sell their weapons."

"Yes, the emperor." Chen Hong quickly agreed respectfully: "I will arrange someone to do it right away."

Since arriving in Liaodong, the public opinion matters have been the focus of Chen Hong’s busyness.

After these busy days, the public opinion effect is indeed very good. Now Chen Hong has mastered most of the public opinion in Shenyang City.

After doing too much of these things, you will be very familiar with them. Even if you arrive at a new place, you will not be unfamiliar. As long as you understand the routine, you will be able to complete the layout quickly.

Now Chen Hong and the others have completed this layout, so after Zhu Youxiao's words are spread, they can be spread soon so that everyone who should know will know.

And who should know is naturally the Mongols, the Korchin tribes, the five tribes of the Neikalka, and other tribes.

The purpose of Zhu Youxiao doing this is to differentiate and scare the Mongolian tribes.

Why not use these weapons for the Mongols?

Just kidding, they can't produce themselves, or even repair them, and these things cannot be used in their hands.

Maybe you can consider the tiger squatting cannon. If the Mongolians want it, they can sell it to them and let them pull and beat Lin Danhan.



More things will not work. Too large cannons affect their speed of travel, and muskets will not work. If it is a flintlock rifle, they will not be able to play with the pomp and forcefully use it will make the cavalry helpless, slowing down the cavalry and greatly reducing their combat effectiveness.

If you want to install a musket in the back, don't think about it, it's impossible to give it to them.

After walking around with his hands behind his back for a few times, Zhu Youxiao felt that it was not very meaningful, so he turned to the back.

Anyway, after the news spread, the people who were furious must be the Mongolians, and many people who were moved must be many, such as Wu Keshan.

If he could have these equipment, he would not be afraid of turning against others. At that time, whoever doesn't listen to him will beat them up and even annex their tribes.

Although Wu Keshan may not have the courage to go to war with the Ming Dynasty, after annexing all tribes, his reputation became different.

Sure enough, after the news spread, the entire Shenyang City was in an uproar.

Many people of the Ming Dynasty did not understand why they sold them to North Korea if they had good things?

Although the Koreans are very respectful, that is because they are not strong enough. Who knows whether they will covet the land of Liaodong after they have the strength?

There is no need to even guess that North Korea will definitely covet the land of Liaodong. Isn’t this a relic for raising tigers? How can you do such a thing?

The Mongols were not worried about this. What they were worried about was whether the Ming Dynasty would give Wu Keshan weapons?

If this is the case, Wu Keshan will have strong strength. The power of the Ming people when using firearms is vivid in their minds.

So these Mongolians became busy again.

Since they arrived at Shanhaiguan, they have sent the news back and have made moves at home. For example, the beauties sent by each tribe have been sent to Shenyang City at this time.
