Chai Ke was silent.

To be honest, he also had some doubts about the utility of the firecracker, but he also admitted that Feng Ziying's words were reasonable.

As the power of the Jianzhou Jurchens expanded rapidly, their level of armor tanning became higher and higher, and their inherent superiority in mounted archery, especially in crossbowmen, put the Zhou army at a disadvantage when facing this opponent.

To break this pattern, the fire gun is undoubtedly a very suitable choice at the moment.

In particular, Feng Tang and the heavy firecrackers he mentioned called the turtledove or the hawkbill, the lethality can reach 120 zhang away, this kind of powerful heavy firecracker, when aiming and shooting, it needs to be supported by a bracket, which is very inconvenient, but its power has far exceeded the range of the Jurchen bow and arrow.

The lethality of the Jurchen bow and arrow is generally between 30 zhang and 40 zhang, and there are very few more than 40 zhang, compared to the three-eyed gun, the target gun and other musket guns only have about 20 zhang lethality, and the Jurchen archers far exceed the Zhou army's firearms in terms of range power and shooting frequency, which is why the Great Zhou court is not optimistic about the firearms.

The range of this batch of Lu Mi guns has reached forty zhang, which is comparable to the Jurchen bow and arrow, but the requirements and training time of a Jurchen archer are not comparable to the fire guns that ordinary soldiers can serve, and Chai Ke also knows that this should be what Feng Tang values the most.

It only takes a little time for an ordinary soldier to train, and in a year and a half he can quickly become a barely qualified firecracker, and it is unthinkable that he can become a qualified archer.

In view of this, Zhang Jingqiu and Chai Ke did not object to Feng Tang's request, after all, as the new governor of Jiliao, if he didn't even have the power to act cheaply, it was indeed unreasonable.

Their thoughts were that they might as well observe and see how effective Feng Tang's plan for the Fire Gun Army was, if it was really unsatisfactory, it could also make Feng Tang die earlier.

Now it seems that Feng Tang's idea may have been germinated with Feng Ziying's support, which also makes Chai Ke even more curious.

He really wanted to see what the two fathers and sons' attempt would bring.

"Ziying, since you and Ling Zun are so confident in this matter, let's try it, and Ling Zun also mentioned the issue of the Haixi Jurchens and the Chahar people and the Horqin Ministry, I think there are also some of your ideas in it?"

Feng Ziying did not deny this, "My father is still familiar with the Chahar people, he has been in Datong for many years, so he is a little worried that the Chahar people have been dormant for so many years, and now this Lin Dan Batur is still young, but he has already revealed some clues, so he plans to touch the bottom of the Chahar people, Haixi Jurchen, I have the same opinion as my father, we must try our best to keep the Ula Ministry, prevent the Jianzhou Jurchens from destroying the Ula Ministry, and open the door to the East China Sea Jurchens, and the East China Sea Jurchen forces are scattered, It is easy to be annexed by the Jianzhou Jurchens,......"

"So this is achieved by supporting Ye Hebu and Jianzhou Jurchen against each other?" Chai Ke thought thoughtfully, "My father thinks that it may be difficult for Ye Hebu to contain the Jianzhou Jurchens, so he feels that when necessary, the Liaodong Army will have to go into battle in person." ”

Chai Ke was taken aback, "Ling Zun thinks so?" Will it lead to a war with the Jianzhou Jurchens? ”

"Lord Chai, I think my father has a sentence that is still very reasonable, the more you want to avoid war, the more you need to show that you are not afraid of war, I think this is also suitable for the relationship between us and the Jianzhou Jurchens, not to mention that I think if Nurhachi is smart enough, before the Haixi Jurchens are resolved, the Jianzhou Jurchens will never be able to really turn their faces with our Great Zhou." Feng Ziying said confidently: "So the more this is the case, the more we can't let the Jianzhou Jurchens destroy the Ula and Yehe tribes." ”

At this point, Chai Ke agreed with Feng Ziying's point of view, although the Jianzhou Jurchen has increasingly become a major disaster for the Great Zhou in Liaodong, but before the Haixi Jurchen is solved, Nurhachi will not take such a risk.

"By the way, I heard Fei Xiong say that you are very worried about the changes in the southwest?" This is the purpose of Chai Ke to recruit Feng Ziying today.

Feng Ziying's keen eye and unique perspective on the issue of the rebellion in Ningxia Town made Chai Ke feel particularly deeply, so when Wang Yingxiong mentioned that Feng Ziying had been paying attention to the movements of the Tusi in the southwest, it immediately made Chai Ke nervous.

……

When Feng Ziying left the military department, she knew that she had made Chai Ke afraid that she would not be able to sleep for a long time.

Although there is not enough evidence to prove that Yang Yinglong will rebel, the close contact between the three Tusi of Banzhou, Shuixi, and Yongning is itself a bad sign.

No one said that these toasts couldn't come and go, but they didn't before, and now they suddenly move closely, which has to make people suspicious.

What's more, Chai Ke also knows very well how fierce the contradictions are in these disputes over the drift of land in the southwest region, and how much pressure the local people are bearing, like a bundle of dried grass, maybe a spark thrown down will cause a fire all over the sky.

But this is not his duty, what he can do has been done to the fullest extent of benevolence and righteousness, after going through so many things, Feng Ziying is also more and more aware that he is really not an all-rounder, and he has the ability to turn the tide if he can't do anything, even if you know about some things, you can't change them, just like the Ningxia Rebellion.

He could even predict that there would be a dispute between Emperor Taishang or Prince Yizhong and Emperor Yonglong after all, and he couldn't judge in what way this dispute would start and what kind of outcome it would end with.

But one thing is for sure, there will be countless people who are on the wrong side, and their results will be overwhelming.

"Grandma, what's wrong with Qingwen, why was she kicked out by my wife?" When Ping'er hurriedly entered the door, what she saw was Wang Xifeng lying on the kang absentmindedly, half of the water ribbon pine flower jacket revealing half of the round jade mound, and Feng'er next to him was fanning again.

Seeing Ping'er come in and make a color, Feng'er also picked up the fan and went out with interest.

"Grandma, what's wrong with you?" Ping'er also felt that something seemed to be wrong with Wang Xifeng during this time, he was slumped, he didn't have much energy, and his appetite was not good.

"It's not much, I just feel tired, and I can't lift my spirits for anything." Wang Xifeng tilted his body, and the brocade was placed under the round plump buttocks, and Ping'er hurriedly put a stone blue money python pillow behind the other party, "A bunch of little hooves without eyes, grandma's body is not cool, and I don't know how to pad a cushion." ”

"If I can have you as shrewd and sharp, I can rest in peace for a few days." Wang Xifeng sighed, "Maybe my stomach was cold some time ago, my appetite was not good, my body was very tired, and my whole body was lazy." ”

"Then grandma simply handed over the matter in hand, please ask Mrs. to arrange another person, well, it is better to ask Grandma Zhu to take care of it for a while, grandma is also going to rest, don't hurt your body." Ping'er cares about authenticity.

"Hey, it's really hard for me to go to my wife to unload this burden at this time, and inevitably someone will gossip, and my wife will be unhappy." Wang Xifeng sighed, "There are also small demons in this mansion, and there are many people in the shallow water, and there are always some people who have to come out on the whole day to show themselves, didn't you ask Qingwen what's going on?" It's not that she has a bit of a posture, some people say that she looks like Sister Lin, and this time Sister Lin came back and promised it to the Feng family, which made Baoyu a little stunned, these words spread into the ears of Mrs., isn't this deliberately Mrs. Ying? ”

Ping'er immediately understood.

This is someone who drugged Qingwen.

She has always had a good relationship with Qingwen, although she is not as close as she is to Mandarin Ducks, but there are a few maids in this mansion who can be on the table, except for Mandarin Ducks and Purple Juan, that is, attacking people and Qingwen, Jin Chu'er went to Feng's Mansion, and now there are fewer contacts, like other maids, they are all separated by one layer.

Miss Lin is now a promiser, so she is naturally a little particular, and men like Bao Erye are cousins and sisters, but it is not good to go to other people's boudoirs at will.

This matter itself is very stimulating to Baoyu, and this time several sisters and sisters have gone to Jiangnan, but he is the only one who is thrown at home, and there is a reason for this matter, and Bao Erye is even more embarrassed.

Mrs. was afraid that something would happen to Baoyu at this time, Qingwen's appearance has always been a fox in her eyes, and when she heard such words, she could pay it back, and she didn't immediately kick Qingwen out.

"Then Second Master Bao didn't stop him?" Ping'er couldn't help but say more.

Wang Xifeng glanced at Ping'er, smiling, "What do you want with this little hoof?" Mrs. wants to drive Qingwen out, this anger is that the ancestors have to let this step, if Baoyu touches this moldy head, then it must not make a fuss? ”

Ping'er bowed her head and was silent.

"Baoyu just wants Qingwen back, so she has to wait for a month or two until her wife is angry and finds a suitable opportunity." Wang Xifeng also knew that Ping'er and Qingwen had a good relationship, so she said a few more words, and if she changed to someone else, she was too lazy to say it.

"I'm afraid that Qingwen's temperament is too anxious and she can't stand this kind of anger,......" Ping'er couldn't help but sigh.

"A girl's life, I can't stand this and can't stand that, I really think I'm a daughter?"

Wang Xifeng was unhappy, and Ping'er didn't dare to say any more.

"By the way, Ping'er, you said that the second master can't see the shadow of people all day long, what are you doing? I went out early in the morning, and I didn't come back until the evening, and I didn't come back to eat, and I ,......fell asleep when I came back," Wang Xifeng's eyes were a little more cold and confused, "I always feel that the second master seems to be a different person, which makes people unable to understand it." ”
