    Liu Daxia was a Jinshi for the eighth year of Tianshun. He is now nearly seventy years old. He has served as a local official, suppressed rebellions, governed the Yellow River, and endured the imperial staff. He has done everything that a minister of the Ming Dynasty should experience.  The world calls him, Wang Shu, and Ma Wensheng the "Three Gentlemen of Hongzhi".

    In this era where everyone claims to be a gentleman, to be called a gentleman by the world clearly shows how smelly and tough he is?

    To be honest, although Qin Kan often calls himself a gentleman, he doesn't like to associate with real gentlemen. The so-called gentleman nowadays has gradually changed his taste.  This kind of person is stubborn, conservative, has a strong temper, and will fight if they disagree. Like the members of Al Qaeda in the previous life, they are ruthless characters who are willing to be killed.

    Liu Daxia stroked his beard, his eyes were cold, and he said expressionlessly: "What the Marquis of Shanyin means is mass production of Franco machine guns?"

    Qin Kan smiled and said, "Exactly."

    Liu Daxia snorted coldly: "The Marquis of Shanyin is the commander of the Jinyi Guards, guarding the Forbidden Palace. It is your duty to arrest thieves and punish the perpetrators. The mass production of artillery seems to be the responsibility of the Ministry of War, right?"

    "That's why I'm here to plead with you. Maybe you don't know the advantages of Fran machine artillery yet. If it is equipped with our Ming Dynasty Border Army Dusi, no matter how powerful the enemy is in the future, the artillery will be more effective on the battlefield."  Unimaginable"

    Liu Daxia chuckled: "But having experienced the war, the Marquis of Shanyin is quite confident when talking about the war. Even I, the Minister of War, want to listen to your big talk?"

    The mocking words and sneer expression made Qin Kan's hands hidden in his sleeves ready to move, wanting to slap him.

    Taking a deep breath, Qin Kan decided to endure it.

    "Sir, because I have personally participated in the war, I know the Fran machine gun quite well. This kind of artillery is very powerful and has a long range. It is much stronger than the artillery of the Ming Dynasty. I have to ask, why  Are you opposed to mass production?"

    Qin Kan's tolerant attitude finally made Liu Daxia lose his sarcastic expression. After all, he was recognized as a gentleman by the world. No matter how hostile he was towards Qin Kan in his heart, it was not the way of a gentleman to treat others politely but he spoke rudely.

    So Liu Daxia¡¯s tone became calm: ¡°Shanyin Marquis, does he know how long is the border of our country, the Ming Dynasty?¡±

    "The Ming Dynasty has a vast territory, with national borders tens of thousands of miles long."

    "Do you know how much the Ming Dynasty's treasury revenue is? What is the annual output of iron mines in various places?"

    Qin Kan understood what Liu Daxia meant and said in a low voice: "Sir, even if the matter is difficult, you must do it. This will be a great success for a long time."

    Liu Daxia shook his head and said: "I only saw that the people of the world turned into molten iron and cast these useless cold iron cannons. In the seventeenth year of Hongzhi, I knew the advantages of this Franco machine cannon. It is indeed better than  Our Ming Dynasty's artillery is a little better, but only a little. Just because of these few advantages, we want to completely replace our Ming Dynasty's artillery. Can the treasury agree? Even if the treasury can agree, can my conscience agree? The world.  Taxes and taxes should be used by the people of the world, rather than casting this cold thing and wasting the people's fat."

    "The lower official dare not agree with the old man's opinion. If you want to strengthen the country, you must first strengthen the army. This is the order. If the country is strong but the army is weak, it will eventually be coveted by foreign enemies. If a pack of wolves eats a tiger, what will the tiger general do? The Tatars outside the pass commit crimes every year.  The situation, burning, killing and looting are all due to the weakness of our Ming Guard and the flaws in our tactics. If we change our tactics and use our strengths and avoid weaknesses, we may be able to change the current situation of fewer victories and more defeats."

    Liu Daxia couldn't help but showed a mocking expression again, and then regained his composure. It could be seen that he was also struggling to endure the sycophant in front of him who seemed to him to be ignorant.

    "Change another tactic? I wonder what the Marquis of Shanyin has to say?"

    "The only people the Tatars rely on are cavalry. The cavalry comes and goes like the wind. This is called the speed of the soldiers. When the two armies are facing each other, the cavalry gathers in formation and launches an invincible charge. This is the so-called heavy sword without an edge. This is how Genghis Khan swept the world back then.  The biggest reason is that our Ming Dynasty border troops rarely took the initiative to attack the grassland and deserts since Yongle. Militarily, they have always adopted a defensive trend, especially after the civil war. When the Tatars invaded the border, they often used infantry to resist, and the first was to resist horses and shields.  , with the spear at the back, the usual tactics are to use shields to resist the cavalry arrows and the first round of cavalry charge, and then find ways to get close to the Tatar cavalry battle formation. The two sides engage in a melee so that the enemy cannot take advantage of the cavalry charge.  But in this way, our Ming soldiers will suffer too many casualties, and even if they win, it will be a disastrous victory, and almost both sides will suffer losses."

    There are some things that Qin Kan didn't have the heart to say. Nowadays, the military system of the Ming Dynasty Guard is corrupt, the generals are corrupt, and the sergeants cherish their lives. Many Tatars often flee when they encounter them. Not to mention the tactics and tactics, it is a blessing to fight with them.

    After all, he is the Minister of War, so Liu Daxia quite agrees with Qin Kan's analysis.

    ? ?Rolled forward a few times.

    "What a bunch of bastards! Who asked you to bet on this?"

    When everyone in high spirits saw Qin Kan, their faces turned pale and sweat dropped like rain.

    Qin Kan was like a fierce tiger entering the flock of sheep, kicking them one by one in turn, scolding them while kicking them.

    "You bastard, you dare to bet on whether the child in my mother-in-law's belly is a boy or a girl. Are you tired of life? With so much time to spare, why don't I follow Eunuch Liu's example and make a few hundred and fifty?  How many days will I have to wear this heavy cane for you?"

    Ding Shun covered his head and squatted on the ground, not daring to fight back. He screamed and defended: "Master Marquis, please forgive me, I don't dare to do it anymore! Master Marquis, please calm down, your subordinates are also kind"

    Qin Kan became even more angry: "Good intention? Do you dare to say you are kind?"

    Pointing to the middle of the gambling board on the floor between the words "men and women", Qin Kan roared angrily: "It's just betting on men and women. Who wrote the word 'egg' in the middle? Huh? Someone actually bet on it.  Five taels of silver, who is it?"

    As soon as the words fell, there was a whoosh, and Tana, dressed in red, ran away, her body turned into a line of red smoke, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
