Take the arsenal to Da Ming

Chapter 34
How Tangning supported such a team was naturally not something that Wang Mazi could find out.

So Wang Mazi tactfully kept this question in his heart, took a light breath, and changed to another topic: "General Tang is able to equip everyone with one of those weapons, which means that the general should have a surplus in his hands. Master Liu..."

Before Wang Mazi could finish speaking, Tangning interrupted directly, "It's easy to talk about it, Master Liu gave me such a big convenience, we won't be ignorant of the good or bad. However, you must know about this kind of thing, it won't be cheap, so No matter how generous we are, we can’t give it away in vain.”

"How much silver is that?" Wang Mazi asked cautiously.

Tangning thought for a while and raised two fingers.

Seeing Tangning's raised two fingers, Wang Mazi was slightly startled, "200 taels?"

Tangning shook her head. Wang Mazi took a deep breath and guessed, "Is it 2000 taels?"

Tangning nodded seriously. He definitely didn't want to sell weapons in his heart, but since the county magistrate proposed it, it's definitely not good to refuse directly, so he simply quoted a price that would make the other party give up.

Of course, Tangning's expression didn't reveal the slightest bit. He sighed softly and said, "This is a friendship price for Mr. Liu. If it's less than 500 taels for someone who doesn't have any friendship with me, Tangning, he won't even try to touch it." .”

"As for the projectile, it can be counted as two taels of silver."

Hearing these words, Wang Mazi almost bit his tongue in shock. The cost of this red-clothed cannon weighing several thousand catties is only about 2000 taels of silver.

And the price of such a small firearm is comparable to that of a cannon?Who can afford it?

And the bullets cost two taels of silver. When Tang Ning launched them like that yesterday, wouldn't it be that one tael of real gold and silver flowed out.

Thinking of this, Wang Mazi could only smile awkwardly, and then asked tentatively, "General Tang, is this something from the West?"

Tangning chuckled, "Western? Hehe, you might as well go and ask, see if those Frangji people and Hongfan ghosts recognize me, my baby."

Although Tang Ning didn't say it clearly, the meaning was very clear. This thing didn't come from the West at all.

"That is……"

Tangning picked up the teacup and drank it on her own, as if she didn't hear anything.

Wang Mazi could only smile awkwardly, then slightly turned his head to look at the four people on both sides, as if to say, "You have also seen it, it's not that I, Wang Mazi, didn't try my best, it's really powerless."

"How many sticks will Mr. Liu want? I can make arrangements here." Tangning asked as if she didn't see Wang Mazi's embarrassment.

"This, this, Master Liu didn't say anything, and asked General Tang to let me go back and report."

"Easy to say, easy to say."

After finishing speaking, Tangning touched her body and took out her own gun. The muzzle of the gun swayed over Wang Mazi's body several times.

When Wang Mazi saw it, his heart trembled, thinking that Tang Ning was about to turn his back on him suddenly.

However, Tangning just looked at the gun, then gently placed it on the table, got up and pushed the gun towards Wang Ma, and said, "This is my own gun, just as a gift, please give it a try. Hand it over to Master Liu."

"Master Liu, after receiving the gift, please send my regards to Mr. Liu. I, Tangning, would like to thank Mr. Liu for the convenience of the trip. I hope we will put aside the past."

Wang Mazi was startled, and then he let out a sigh. It turned out that he wanted to give a gift, and he was about to pick it up.

However, a big hand was quicker to press on the gun. It was a big man sitting next to Wang Mazi. He smiled at Tangning and said, "I thanked General Tang on behalf of Master Liu. I will hand over this item myself. For our adults."

Tangning nodded with a smile, and let go of her palm. The big man immediately picked up the gun, but Wang Mazi had no choice but to withdraw his hand in embarrassment, filled with resentment.

"Company Commander Song, lend me your gun," Tangning said to Song Yuankui at the side.

Song Yuankui obtained his own gun through his own efforts yesterday, so without further ado, he took out his own gun and handed it to Tangning.

Tangning took Song Yuankui's gun and taught Wang Mazi and the others how to use the gun. It was easy to use. As for whether Mr. Liu could use it well, it was none of Tangning's business.

Afterwards, Tangning gave them another [-] rounds of ammunition.

Things have come to this point, and the conversation is basically almost the same.

This time, Wang Mazi and his party had three main purposes. One was to appease the new army, the other was to obtain weapons, and the third was to scout the strength of the new army.

Now, it can be said that the three goals have basically been achieved, or it can be said that it is impossible to achieve them.

First of all, it is almost impossible to recruit new troops. Although people are willing to sell weapons, the price is too outrageous.

There was no way to figure out where the real channels of these weapons were. Tangning obviously didn't intend to say anything.

As for the strength of the new reconnaissance army, after going up the mountain and seeing the drills of those hundreds of people, you can already get a glimpse of it.

If, as Tang Ning said, each person was equipped with a weapon like that, they might not be able to take down the precipitous Red Lotus Mountain even if they mobilized the Chaozhou government's garrison.

Unless, the entire Red Lotus Mountain is surrounded, and they are trapped alive through a long siege.

But to besiege today's Honglian Mountain, there is no [-] troops, and I'm afraid there will be no trace.

Now that the situation is so turbulent, Guangdong as a whole is unable to spare eight thousand troops for a long-term siege.

So, Liu Zhixian's little illusion about Honglian Mountain has been completely shattered, and it's not bad that he didn't take the initiative to trouble you.

After all, the biggest gain from this trip was probably the item that Tangning gave just now.

Now that the things he wanted to say were almost finished, Wang Mazi didn't want to stay any longer. Every minute he stayed here, he felt more pressure.

This nest originally belonged to him, Wang Mazi, but now it was the place he wanted to escape the most.

However, before Wang Mazi could say his goodbyes, he heard Song Yuankui, who had not spoken all this time, say coldly: "Wang Mazi, since the matter between Mr. Liu and our General Tang has been dealt with, should we talk about it next?" It's between us."

Hearing this, Wang Mazi's heart skipped a beat, thinking something was wrong.

However, Wang Mazi had led hundreds of people at any rate, and he had a lot of lives in his hands. Since he couldn't escape, he simply forced himself to calm down and said, "Song Yuankui, I know you never want to go against the government. Now I, Wang Mazi, He belongs to Mr. Liu and represents the government."

"Right now, Lord Liu and General Tang cherish each other dearly. In the future, the two sides will have to communicate with each other. Let's let go of the little grievances between us sooner or later."

Hearing this, Song Yuankui grinned his teeth in anger, slapped the table and stood up, roaring ferociously: "A little grievance? My wife just gave birth to Wan'er three days ago, and died in my arms with seven knives in her body. Follow me My brother died tragically by my side for many years, is this a bit of grievance?"

"The scar on my face reminds me every day that this enmity is irreconcilable..."

After all, Song Yuankui instinctively touched his waist, but was taken aback for a moment, thinking that Tangning still had his gun.

"Let me chop off the dog's head..." A big man next to Song Yuankui was about to rush up while screaming with wide eyes.

Although the other person didn't speak, he was aggressive.

Wang Mazi's face darkened, and he immediately cried out in surprise. The four companions beside him also stood up quickly and looked around warily.

A hero doesn't suffer from immediate losses. If he really falls out completely, even if he, Wang Mazi, has great abilities, he will never be able to escape.

So, he immediately cast his hopeful eyes on Tangning, and said anxiously, "General Tang, the two armies are at war, and I'm the envoy sent by Lord Liu."

"If you kill me like this today, it will not only embarrass Mr. Liu, but also ruin the reputation of your new army."

"I know that the enmity between me, Wang Mazi, and Song Yuankui cannot be resolved, but if you really want to take revenge, make a move and kill me openly, then no one has the right to say anything."
