No matter how Qi Jiguang should be judged, he really doesn't have too much selfishness in the matter of resisting the Japanese. Even if there are economic problems, it is to better crack down on the Japanese pirates, and this should not be overly blamed.

Now Lin Haoran's 10,000 taels is undoubtedly a charcoal in the snow, and it also makes him feel like he has found a confidant, which really moves him inexplicably.

After negotiating this matter, the atmosphere of the banquet seemed to be much more relaxed.

Qi Jiguang's mood seemed to be very good, and he took the initiative to provoke the topic, and followed Yang Chun vividly to tell him about Lin Haoran's deeds of killing the sea thief Xu Liang with a bird's gun.

Shilin paid attention to Lin Haoran's feat of Lianzhong Liuyuan, or the poems of the "Bamboo Gentleman", but the army paid more attention to Lin Haoran's name of "blood scholar".

In fact, not only in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but also in the soldiers of the nine sides heard about it. After all, this is an era of lack of entertainment, and Lin Haoran's incident is indeed amazing, so the scope of the spread is beyond imagination.

Yang Chunlai was also shocked when he heard this deed for the first time, and gave Lin Haoran a thumbs up and praised: "Lord Lin, amazing!" It's remarkable! I didn't expect you to make such a military feat, it's really both civil and military! ”

"Shopkeeper Yang, you don't dare to be both civil and military, this matter is good luck!" Lin Haoran remembered the scene of shooting Xu Liang at the beginning, and still felt extremely lucky, turned his head to look at Qi Jiguang and said with a smile: "Qi Future, you should understand that it was not my courage to be able to kill Xu Liang that time, thanks to Bird Gongye!" ”

Qi Jiguang is a person who has seen Xu Liang, Xu Liang was born tall and mighty, and he has a good martial arts, even he has no certainty of winning, let alone a weak scholar like Lin Haoran.

Therefore, Lin Haoran's words are true, and he really benefited from the bird, otherwise ten Lin Haoran would not be Xu Liang's opponents. It's just that Qi Jiguang is not a pedantic person, but he continued to compliment with a smile: "Lord Futai, you are too humble!" Bird guns are extremely complicated, and most of the people in our army do not know how to shoot, let alone hit the target accurately! If you can kill Xu Liang with a bird gun, it can't be regarded as a fluke, this is a real skill! What's more, you then fought with the injured Xu Liang, which is also very human. ”

"That's right! I also have a bird's gun, or a bird's gun, but I don't know how to play it, and I don't dare to play it! Hehe...... "Yang Chun echoed Qi Jiguang deprecatingly.

"The bird gun seems complicated, but it is not difficult to master, but everyone underestimates the value of the bird gun! Admittedly, this bird gun is complex to shoot and difficult to shoot every shot, but once it is used skillfully, it can defeat the strong with the weak. Lin Haoran said seriously, and then changed his words, looked at Qi Jiguang, who was thinking seriously, and said: "Taking the officials as a reference, the quality of weapons can even determine the direction of the war!" The Han and Tang dynasties were able to make the Siyi surrender, and they also benefited from the benefits of weapons, like the Modao Army, which was able to sweep through the desert tribes. ”

"Weapons are really important to the victory or defeat of war! When I first served as the secretary of the Zhejiang Metropolitan Department and served as a general, I wanted to make a batch of Zhuge repeaters, but unfortunately I searched all the craftsmen, but no one knew how to make this artifact! Qi Jiguang sighed lightly and said with disappointment.

"General Qi, why bother to seek the near and far? Even if it's a Zhuge crossbow, I'm afraid that a person like me who has no power to restrain a chicken will not be able to exert its power! Lin Haoran shook his head, and then extended: "Those Japanese people have been dancing knives and guns since they were children, and the Mongolians have also ridden horses and archery since childhood, while our Ming Dynasty has paid attention to benevolence, righteousness and morality since childhood, and advocated gentlemen to cook far away!" In terms of physical fitness, it is already lagging behind them, and now it is simply too short to continue to compete with them in horseback archery. ”

"What do you think?" Qi Jiguang nodded approvingly, and then asked solemnly.

"The Ming army should develop thermal weapons!" Lin Haoran said categorically.

"What is a thermal weapon?" Qi Jiguang felt puzzled.

"Simply put, a gun or a cannon!" Lin Haoran pondered for a moment and explained.

"Bird guns and Franc cannons?" Qi Jiguang frowned slightly.

"Yes, but not all! We can continue to refine the weapon, for example, the Franc cannon, which is more portable if not siege warfare. Although the power will be weakened and the range will not be too far, it is a powerful weapon for killing enemies in the field! ”

"Wonderful! Qi Jiguang's eyes lit up immediately, his bladder swelled, and he looked at Lin Haoran in ecstasy.

In the research of future generations, Qi Jiguang is not only a military genius, but also a weapons expert. Listening to Lin Haoran's argument, in addition to being shocked, I also felt like I had found a confidant.

He had this idea before, and wanted to improve the Franc cannon, but it turned out to coincide with Lin Haoran. In particular, he is also a weaponist, and he has a feeling of knowing each other and hating each other.

Yang Chunlai was left to dry, but he looked at all this with joy. In the past, he was worried that the two of them would not be able to pee in a pot, but now watching Qi Jiguang, it seems that he has the intention of worshipping Lin Haoran.

Lin Haoran felt that Qi Jiguang was indeed different, and then said with a smile: "General Qi, I think that if the Shendian Guard can have a bird team, its strength will inevitably increase greatly. ”

"I had planned to do so before, but the bird guns in the army have already rusted!" Qi Jiguang said his previous plan, and suddenly found that Lin Haoran looked at Yang Chunlai with a smile, he also knew the strings, and immediately made a request: "Shopkeeper Yang, I want to train a team of 100 birds, can you help me get a batch of birds?" ”

Yang Chunlai had a smile on his face, and said with a guarantee: "No problem! This amount is a bit much, I'm afraid it will take five days, and I will send it to Dianbaicheng in five days, okay? ”

"It's hard work!" Qi Jiguang was also not polite, and thanked him.

He is different from other Ming generals, and he is not averse to birds. Although there are many inconveniences, it is undoubtedly a sharp weapon to kill the enemy, and Lin Haoran is a living example.

As for artillery, he admired it even more and hoped to have more artillery. It's just that these weapons are very lethal, but the loss is large, and the price is not cheap.

Now that he can get a hundred bird guns and form a bird gun team, he is also satisfied.

"Actually, we really want to never be in trouble, it is not enough to develop thermal weapons, we must also develop warships!" Lin Haoran struck while the iron was hot, and continued to throw out the argument: "Look at the warship of the Franc man, there are more than a dozen heavy guns on it, but our ship is mostly used to carry people, and the rear frustration of a heavy cannon may make the hull fall apart." Once we really fight, we will definitely lose, and we will not even have the slightest chance of winning. ”
