Zhang Yang sat in the tent and started cultivating the [God's Seal]. His entire body was exuding an aura that was above everything else.
If an ordinary person felt this aura, their knees would go weak and they would kneel on the ground.
Zhang Yang opened his eyes and the next second, a person walked in from outside the door."Commander, as per your instructions, I brought a few production masters near the Yangtze River. They are waiting for you in the military camp.”
a
It was Chang Yuchun. His face was a little pale, and it seemed like he had been in contact for many days.
"Bring me there."
The two of them arrived at the military camp. This was a place specially designed to receive outsiders. Of course, it was also set up by Zhang Yang. After all, the military camp should be a place where secrets were kept. If anyone could enter, it would be a little chaotic.
When he entered the tent, he saw his three masters restless. One of them was even trembling.
Zhang Yang knew what was going on. When he had ordered Chang Yuchun to go over, he had told him to use any means to invite these people over. Now, it seemed that the method was a little cruel.
"Masters, I am Zhang Yang. I invited you here as a last resort. Please don't take offense.”Zhang Yang greeted him with a smile.
As the saying goes, one should not hit a smiling person. Even if the few masters were a little resentful, they did not say anything at this time.
After Chang Yuchun left, the curtains of the tent were pulled down, leaving only Zhang Yang and the three masters in the small room.
In the confined space, the old masters felt their hearts in their throats. One of the more courageous masters said loudly,"Commander, I've always known that you love the people the most. May I know why you've asked us to come here today?”
"Looking at your figure, you should be Master Luo Youtian, right?”Zhang Yang's eyes flashed, and information about Master Luo appeared in his mind.
Luo Youtian, who grew up in the Yangtze River, had a wealth of experience in making cannons. Moreover, it was a skill passed down from his ancestors. However, ever since the Yuan people took over the world, there was no room for them to survive.
Now, he and those who had experience in making cannons were hiding in a town, making a living by forging iron.
Firearms actually existed as early as the Song Dynasty. However, due to the complicated and difficult manufacturing process, coupled with the high cost of manufacturing, the successive dynasties did not pay much attention to the production of cannons.
After the Yuan people obtained the world, they did not take these things to heart at all. They had their own cannon craft and obtained the world, so they had a feeling of being in a corner.
"It is my fortune to be remembered by the governor. However, I really don't know why the governor asked us to come here. We are just a few old men who know how to forge. If you ask us to forge weapons, I'm worried that we will ruin the war. If you ask us to go to the battlefield, look at my little brother's trembling hands.”
Master Luo had a pitiful look on his face." Commander, please have mercy and let us go back. We just want to make a living by forging iron."”
Was he trying to hide it?
"Master Luo, don't worry." Zhang Yang took a sip of tea and said,""Are you really just old men who know how to forge? Why did I hear it differently?”
"Oh? What is Commander saying?" Master Luo continued to play dumb.
" You know that I have always loved the people, and I have never used them indiscriminately," Zhang Yang said calmly." Then, you should know that I am a man of my word. If someone lies to me, it will bring disaster to their family."”
The few elders trembled. The person whose hands were trembling earlier had the urge to admit it.
Fortunately, Master Luo quickly stopped his hand and stabilized him. Then, he turned to Zhang Yang and said,""Commander, we are a group of old men who only know how to forge. We don't even know how to read.”
Zhang Yang nodded slightly." Alright, then you can leave after you answer one of my questions."”
Phew...
Hearing Zhang Yang's words, the few of them felt relieved.
"Commander, please ask." Master Luo was a little more daring. He had always believed that Zhang Yang did not know their origins and was just testing them.
"Are you saying that making guns is forging?”Zhang Yang's eyes were cold.
He had long found out that these people knew how to make guns. If they still wanted to hide it, he would do as he said.
Boom!
Their bodies trembled. Master Luo hurriedly knelt down and said anxiously,"Commander, what are you talking about? We only know how to forge some simple weapons!”
"Sigh, Master Luo, do you think I don't have the confidence to summon you?”Zhang Yang's eyes were filled with disappointment. He shook his head and said,""I'll give you one more chance. Remember, only by telling the truth can you save your life.”
" I, I'll talk…" Before Master Luo could speak, the trembling man beside him spoke,""We used to serve the Great Song's Ministry of Works 'Imperial Military Armament Department. Now that decades have passed, if the commander needs it, we might be able to make that fire gun!”
Master Luo deflated like a balloon and his body went limp.
"Master Luo, do you know the consequences of lying to me?" Zhang Yang asked coldly.”
Master Luo nodded in despair and swallowed his saliva."" Commander, please spare my family…"
The brother beside him hurriedly said," Commander, Commander, we can make cannons. Please let Brother Luo go. He's only doing this for our own good!"”
As he spoke, another person hurriedly explained,"Commander, you don't know this. Previously, there were officers and soldiers from the Yuan Dynasty who were looking for us. They said that they wanted to execute our old party members. That's why we didn't dare to say what we used to do.”
Zhang Yang saw that it was effective, so he did not want to kill them all. However, he only wanted to intimidate them so that they would do their best."I won't kill you, as long as you work for me. I have a question for you. You've all made guns before, but have you ever thought of making them dozens of times bigger? Or even a hundred times?"
A hundred times?
The few of them were stunned, and then their faces revealed a terrified expression."If we really succeed, we can destroy any city!”
As they imagined this, they became excited.
Back then, the Song Dynasty was able to produce three million firearms every year, but the effect of these three million firearms was not as good as producing a few cannons!
They did not think of this at the beginning and thought that firearms were the end of gunpowder weapons.
Now that they were reminded by Zhang Yang, they could not wait to try it out.
Zhang Yang saw how excited they were, so he arranged a place for them to rest. It was right next to the military doctor's office. With Taitish's protection, it was the safest place in He Zhou.
Of course, Zhang Yang's location was an exception.
After arranging everything, Zhang Yang began to plan something in his room. The table was filled with white papers and black paintings.
