Chapter 683 What Happened to Qingwen in Volume E
Chai Ke remained silent.

To be honest, he also had some doubts about the effectiveness of the firecracker, but he also admitted that what Feng Ziying said was reasonable.

With the rapid expansion of Jianzhou Jurchen's power, its level of armor tanning is getting higher and higher. Coupled with its inherent advantages in riding and shooting, especially its strength in crossbowmen, Zhou Jun is facing this opponent. at a disadvantage.

To break this pattern, the fire gun is undoubtedly the next very suitable choice.

Especially the heavy-duty firecrackers mentioned by Feng Tang and him, which are called turtledove blunderbusses or eagle-billed blunderbusses, have a lethality of up to 120 feet away. This kind of powerful heavy-duty firecracker needs a bracket to support it when aiming and shooting, which is very inconvenient , but its power has far exceeded the range of Jurchen bows and arrows.

The lethality of Jurchen bows and arrows is generally between [-] and [-] feet, and very few exceed [-] feet. Compared with three-eyed blunderbuss and target guns, which only have a lethality of about [-] feet, Jurchen The archers far surpassed the firearms of the Zhou army in terms of range, power and shooting frequency, which is why the Zhou court was not optimistic about the firearms.

The range of this batch of Lumi guns has reached forty feet, which is comparable to that of Jurchen bows and arrows, but the physical requirements and training time for a Jurchen archer are not comparable to that of ordinary soldiers who can act as musketeers Chai Ke also knew that this should be Feng Tang's most important thing.

Ordinary soldiers only need to spend some time in training, and they can quickly become a barely qualified gunner in a year and a half, but it takes an unimaginable amount of time to become a qualified archer.

In view of this, neither Zhang Jingqiu nor Chai Ke expressed any objection to Feng Tang's request. After all, as the new governor of Jiliao, if they don't even have the power to do things cheaply, it really can't be justified.

Their idea is that they might as well observe and see how well Feng Tang's firearms plan works. If it is really unsatisfactory, it can make Feng Tang die earlier.

Now it seems that maybe Feng Tang's idea was only sprouted with Feng Ziying's support, which also made Chai Ke even more curious.

He really wanted to see what the father and son's attempt would bring.

"Ziying, since you and your father are so confident in this matter, let's try it. In addition, your father also mentioned the issues of the Haixi Jurchen, the Chahar people, and the Horqin tribe. I think there are some ideas of yours in it." ?”

Feng Ziying did not deny this point, "My father is quite 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. He is still young, but he has already revealed some clues, so he intends to get a good feel for the bottom of the Chahar people. On the Haixi Jurchen side, I agree with my father. We must try our best to keep the Ula tribe and prevent the Jianzhou Jurchen from being wiped out. The Ula tribe opened the door to the Jurchen of the East China Sea, and the Jurchen of the East China Sea is scattered and easily annexed by the Jurchen of Jianzhou,..."

"So this is achieved by supporting the Yehe tribe and the Jianzhou Jurchen?" Chai Ke thought thoughtfully, "My father thinks that it will be difficult for the Yehe tribe to contain the Jianzhou Jurchen, so he thinks that when necessary, the Liaodong Army will have to ask for help." Go into battle yourself."

Chai Ke was taken aback, "Does your father think so? Will it trigger a war with the Jianzhou Jurchen?"

"Master Chai, I think what my father said is 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 Jianzhou Jurchen. What's more, I think that if Nurhachi is smart enough, Jianzhou Jurchen will never be able to completely turn against us in Dazhou before the Haixi Jurchen is dealt with." Feng Ziying said confidently: "So the more this is the case, the more we will The Jianzhou Jurchens cannot be allowed to destroy the Ula and Yehe tribes."

On this point, Chai Ke agrees with Feng Ziying's point of view. Although the Jianzhou Jurchen has increasingly become a serious problem for the Great Zhou in Liaodong, Nurhachi will not take such a risk until the Haixi Jurchen is resolved.

"By the way, I heard from Feixiong that you are worried about changes in the Southwest?" This is the purpose of Chai Ke in recruiting Feng Ziying today.

Chai Ke was particularly impressed by Feng Ziying's keen vision and unique perspective on the rebellion in Ningxia Town, so when Wang Yingxiong mentioned that Feng Ziying had been following the movements of the southwestern chieftains, Chai Ke immediately became nervous.

……

When Feng Ziying left the Ministry of War, she knew that she would make Chai Ke sleepless for a long time.

He elaborated on some of his views to resist the law. Although there is not enough evidence to prove that Yang Yinglong will rebel, the close contact between the three chieftains of Bozhou, Shuixi, and Yongning is itself a bad sign.

No one said that these chieftains can't communicate, but they didn't before, and now they suddenly move around closely, which makes people suspicious.

What's more, Chai Ke is also very clear about how fierce the disputes over the land in the Southwest are, and how much pressure the local people have endured. The sky is on fire.

But this is not my duty anymore. He has done his best with the utmost benevolence and righteousness. After experiencing so many things, Feng Ziying has also become more and more aware that he is really not an all-rounder. He can turn the tide even if he cannot do anything. Even if you know it, you can't change it, just like the Ningxia rebellion.

He can even predict that there will be a dispute between the Supreme Emperor or Prince Yizhong and Emperor Yonglong. He cannot determine how this dispute will start and end.

But one thing is certain, there will definitely be countless people who are on the wrong team, and their results will be overwhelming.

"Grandma, what's wrong with Qingwen? Why was she kicked out by the wife?" When Ping'er hurried in, she saw Wang Xifeng lying absent-mindedly on the kang, with half of the water-stained pine-flowered beanie revealing half of the round jade mound. Feng'er next to her was fanning again and again.

Seeing Ping'er come in and play tricks, Feng'er wisely packed up her fan and went out.

"Grandma, what's the matter with you?" Ping'er also felt that something was wrong with Wang Xifeng during this time, she was slumped, not very energetic, and her appetite was not good.

"It's nothing, I just feel tired, and I can't cheer up anything." Wang Xifeng tilted her body, put the Jin Yin Rong mat under her round buttocks, and Ping'er quickly put an azurite money python on the other's back Pillow, "a bunch of eyeless little hooves, grandma is not comfortable, and doesn't know how to put a cushion."

"If you are as shrewd as you, I can rest and recuperate for a few days." Wang Xifeng sighed, "Maybe it's because I had a cold stomach a while ago, my appetite is not good, and my body is also very tired. They're all lazy."

"Then grandma simply handed over the matter in hand, and asked my wife to arrange another person. Well, it's better to ask Grandma Zhu to take care of it for a while, so that grandma can rest for a while, so as not to hurt her body." Ping'er cared typical.

"Hey, it's really hard for me to go to my wife to share this burden at this time. It's inevitable that someone will gossip and my wife will be unhappy." Wang Xifeng sighed, "This house is also a small demon temple with strong wind and shallow water. Wang Baduo, there are always some people who have to stay inside for a while to show themselves. Didn't you ask Qingwen what's going on? It's not because of how good-looking she is, some people say something Let’s just say that she has the appearance and temper of Sister Lin, and this time Sister Lin came back and betrothed to Mr. Feng’s family, which made Baoyu a little dazed, and this word was heard in Madam’s ears, isn’t this intentional to dissuade Madam?”

Ping'er understood immediately.

Someone drugged Qingwen.

She has always had a good relationship with Qingwen. Although she is not as close as she is with Yuanyang, among the maidservants in the mansion who can stand on the stage, apart from Yuanyang and Zijuan, Xiren and Qingwen are the only ones. After leaving Feng's residence, there is less communication now, like other maids, they are all separated by a floor.

Miss Lin is married now, so she is naturally a little particular about it. Men like Bao Erye are cousins, but it is not easy to go to other people's boudoirs casually.

This incident itself was very irritating to Baoyu, and this time, several sisters and sisters all went to the south of the Yangtze River, but he was left at home, and there was a reason for this incident, and Bao Erye became even more sleepy of.

At this time, the wife was afraid that something would happen to Baoyu, and Qingwen's appearance had always been that of a fox in her eyes. After hearing such words, it was okay, and she kicked Qingwen out immediately.

"Then the second master Bao didn't stop him?" Ping'er couldn't help but add another word.

Wang Xifeng glanced at Ping'er, with a half-smile, "What are you thinking, little hoof? My wife wants to drive Qingwen out, and even the old ancestors have to give up this step out of anger. If Baoyu touches this bad luck, it's okay Skywarp?"

Ping'er bowed his head and remained silent.

"If Baoyu wants to bring Qingwen back, he will have to wait a month or two until his wife's anger subsides and find a suitable opportunity." Wang Xifeng also knew that Ping'er and Qingwen had a good relationship, so she said more A few words, if it were someone else, she would be too lazy to say more.

"I'm afraid that Qingwen's temper is too impatient, and she can't bear this kind of anger..." Ping'er couldn't help sighing.

"A girl's life, but she can't stand this or that. Do you really think you are Miss Qianjin?"

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

"By the way, Ping'er, you said that this second master can't be seen all day long. What is he doing? He went out early in the morning and didn't come back until evening. He didn't come back to eat, and fell asleep when he came back... "Wang Xifeng's eyes were a little more cold and puzzled, "I always feel that the second master seems to be a different person, and people can't understand it."
