Ye Fan stood up and looked at Dai Li below. He confirmed again," Is that true?!!"
Dai Li nodded. The elderly craftsman also said,"Dai Li's father was indeed an official during the Retired Emperor's time, but in the end, he was framed and sent to the Ning Ancient Pagoda. I can testify to this."
Dai Li nodded again.
Dai Li's expression darkened when he heard this, and he said,"" My father has been exiled to Ninggu Tower for the rest of his life, but he won't be able to enter the capital…"
Looking at Dai Li's regretful expression, Ye Fan waved his hand and said,"So what? Men! I order the ten of you to escort Dai Li to the Ning Ancient Tower to bring the old mister back to the capital. If anything goes wrong, I will hold you accountable!”
"Yes, sir!"
As the ten musketeers replied, Dai Li immediately revealed a pleasantly surprised expression and said,"Milord, can my father return to the capital?"
Ye Fan smiled slightly and said,"Old Dai worked hard and made great contributions only because he was framed by that crafty sycophant." Moreover, the things that Dai Lai developed were extremely important to the entire Qing Dynasty. No one in the previous dynasty recognized his value, but I do. Old Dai's talent should be the backbone of our dynasty! How can you live in Ninggu Tower? In the past, this Ye thought that Old Dai was already dead, so it was fine. Now that he knew, how could he let him suffer in that bitter cold land?”
When Dai Li heard Ye Fan's words, he was moved that Ye Fan respected his father so much and protected him so much. Moreover, he firmly believed that his father did not collude with the pirates. Most importantly, Ye Fan actually agreed to bring his father back to the capital from Ning Ancient Tower!
This was simply a great gift to their family!
"I, I, I thank you for your kindness!”
A burly man knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face from excitement.
"Alright, get up. This isn't any kindness from me. This is what old man Dai deserves! Previously, it was just that the people in power did not know how to judge people. Go!"
Seeing everyone leave, only Ye Fan and a few musketeers who were specially assigned to protect him were left in the entire hall. Ye Fan's face finally revealed an excited expression!
Dai Zi!
If it wasn't for Kangxi's poor judgment of people, thinking that the Manchu people had relied on horses to conquer the world, thinking that soldiers only needed bows and arrows and horses, and didn't value firearms, and knowing that Dai Zi was wrongly accused of colluding with the Japanese pirates, he still sent him to Ningguta. How could China have suffered from the Eight-Nation Alliance?
China was a vast country with abundant resources, but it was being beaten up by a few small region countries and was fleeing everywhere. Moreover, the other party was an army that had come from afar. Only Li Shimin, Qin Shihuang, and Han Wudi could not see this after they died. Otherwise, they would be so angry that they would come back to life.
Others did not know his ability, but Ye Fan's ears were like thunder!
Countless people in the later generations asserted that if Dai Ziruo was put in an important position, China would still be a powerful existence that stood at the top of the world. It could even reach an invincible level.
Although the strength of a country could not be judged by the level of advancement of military equipment, one had to be clear that it was only in ancient times. It was an agricultural civilization. Advancing from archery to firearms and cannons was a qualitative leap!
Moreover, wasn't the Qing Dynasty weak when it came to national governance?
The Qing Dynasty's comprehensive national strength and abundant resources were still the most impressive existence in the world. Even in the later stages of the Qing Dynasty, when the imperial court was corrupt, it was still the same. Otherwise, the Eight-Nation Alliance would not have coveted China and even crossed several oceans to plunder it.
And why did so many people praise Dai Zi?
It was simple. He was the one who invented the most awesome letter cannon of the Qing Dynasty, the later General Weiyuan.
There was once a Dutchman who came to China to show off with his Dutchman gun. Kang Xi asked Dai Zi to make a replica. Before the Dutchman could finish his act, Dai Zi made a replica for him in just a few days.
What did this mean?
It meant to tell him not to act pretentious. It's not that he couldn't make these things.
The Dutchman left dejectedly.
However, Kang Xi really thought that everyone could replicate it. He had no idea that it was all because of Dai Zi's familiarity and talent with firearms.
In this era where all guns had to be reloaded after each shot, Dai Zi, this old fellow, had come up with a simple semi-automatic machine gun. In this era, it was called the Lianzhu handgun.
However, this firearm was not handed over to the imperial court. It was rumored that Dai Zi had a dream after making it. The immortal told him that once this thing appeared, he would be beheaded and have no descendants. Therefore, he did not take it out and decomposed it.
Just think about it, if that old fellow Dai Zi worked a little harder and slightly improved this Lianzhu handgun, what would happen?
And what about the Eight-Nation Alliance?
However, such a great talent had been delayed for his entire life.
From the looks of it, the guns that the system automatically allocated to the soldiers were probably created by Dai Zi. Although the Repeating Fire Gun was a little more powerful, it had already been broken down by him, so it should not exist in this world.
Moreover, that thing was a little big. Before Dai Zi had improved it, it was not suitable for the musketeers to wear.
