When Anzabu saw that he and others were stopped, his face sank and he said, "What do you mean? Why did you stop us?"

"Guys, please leave your weapons behind and let us keep them for the time being." The guard who stopped Jamuka and others said.

Jamuka frowned slightly.

"Impossible." Anzabu shook his head and said, "Those of us will carry weapons when we see the Great Khan. Your Tiger Character Banner is just a business company of the Ming Dynasty. What qualifications do you have to ask us to hand over our weapons?"

The guard said calmly: "Don't worry, we are only keeping the weapons temporarily. We will return them to you when you leave."

"That won't work. We Mongolians will not hand over weapons to outsiders for safekeeping." Anzabu shouted.

Shi Bin, who was walking in front, heard the quarrel behind him and led his horse back.

He glanced at Anzabu, then looked at Jamuka, and said with a smile: "General, please cooperate and don't embarrass our guards."

Anzabu on the side spoke first: "What do you mean by our cooperation? What qualifications do you have to take away our weapons? We Mongolians do not have the custom of handing weapons to the Han people."

Shi Bin said: "You guys have misunderstood. They are not taking away your weapons, they are just keeping them temporarily."

At this time, Jamuka said: "It is impossible to hand over the weapons to you. Even if we go to other Taiji camps, we will carry our own weapons with us."

Jamuka refused to hand over his weapons.

"Behind this gate is the military camp of our Tiger Flag. According to the rules of our Tiger Flag, outsiders are not allowed to bring weapons inside. I also ask the general to cooperate. If the general insists on not handing over the weapons, he can only stay outside."

Shi Bin had no intention of giving in.

"This is my Tumut place. When will it be your turn to be the people of the Tiger Flag?" Anzabu said angrily.

Shi Bin said calmly: "If you guys can't come in because of weapons, then I can't do anything about it. This is the rule of our Tiger Flag and cannot be changed."

"You mean that behind this wall is your Tiger Flag military camp?" Jamukha asked.

"Yes." Shi Bin nodded.

Jamuka added: "When we came here, we saw many four-wheeled vehicles entering here, including the cannons from your Ming Dynasty. They should also be sent here, right?"

Shi Bin hesitated for a moment, thinking that those artillery carriages and cannons were all in the military camp. As long as Jamuka and others entered the military camp, they would see them sooner or later, and they couldn't hide them even if they wanted to.

Immediately, he nodded and said: "In order to ensure the safety of the warehouse and prevent what happened last time, my proprietor specially sent a few cannons."

In his words, Jamuka and the others were reminded that they had been besieged by herdsmen at the Tiger Flag warehouse in his tribe.

Jamukha pretended not to understand, after all, they had to settle the matter last time.

If it weren't for the connivance of the Great Khan, Tiger Flag would not have destroyed hundreds of thousands of taels of goods.

"It just so happens that I also want to see your cannons, let's go in!" As he said that, Jamuka took the scimitar from his waist and handed it to the guard with the tiger flag beside him.

Anzabu frowned and said, "General, do we really want to hand over our weapons?"

He was unwilling to hand over his weapons to the people of the Tiger Banner for safekeeping. In his heart, it would be a humiliation for him to have his weapons kept by Han people even temporarily.

"Give the weapons you carry to the people with the Tiger Flag." Jamukha ordered.

Anzabu reluctantly took off the knife from his waist and handed it to the guard with the tiger flag beside him.

Several other Mongolian armored cavalry also handed over their weapons to the people of the Tiger Banner for safekeeping.

"General, please come with me!" Shi Bin greeted, leading the horse in front.

Jamukha also led his horse and followed behind, walking together into the iron gate.

When passing by the iron gate, he touched the iron gate with his hand and asked, "Is this iron gate made of pure iron?"

Shi Bin turned around and explained: "Iron-clad wood has a layer of iron on the outside and solid wood on the inside. A bow and arrow will leave at most a shallow mark on it."

Jamukha touched the iron door with his hand.

The Mongols lacked iron weapons, and most of the herdsmen used bone arrows. Only wealthy Ming Dynasty merchants like Huzi Banner could forge such good iron into iron gates.

After entering the wall, the group walked more than a hundred steps and came to a place where there were horse posts. There were already several horses tied to the horse posts around them.

Shi Bin tied his horse to the horse post. After Jamuka and others had tied their horses, he said, "General, please follow me. Deputy Director Li is in front."

In front of them was a row of houses. They were behind the houses and could only see the backs of the walls.

Jamuka took several Mongolian armored cavalry around him and followed Shi Bin forward.

Under the leadership of Shi Bin, walking through a row of houses, Jamuka discovered that there were several rows of such houses in front of them, neatly arranged, as if they were carved out of the same mold.

After passing four rows of such houses, Shi Bin stopped and said to Jamuka: "General, wait a moment, I will go in and report."

"Wait a minute." Jamukha raised his hand to stop them and asked, "Where are your cannons? Why don't I see any of them? Didn't you say they were sent here?"

Shi Bin said: "The cannon is not here, this is where our soldiers live."

"Can you show me your cannon?" Jamukha asked.

Anzabu on the side said disapprovingly: "General, what's so good about cannons? Those things are so heavy and cumbersome to use. Only people from the Ming Dynasty will use these impractical things."

"Don't underestimate the cannons of the Ming Dynasty. Cannons are powerful weapons for defending the city." Jamukha said.

Shi Bin smiled and said: "What the general said is that the cannon is too heavy and can only be used to defend the city."

Jamuka added, "I heard that your Tiger Flag has specially built something called a gun carriage. You can use horses to pull the carriage and the cannon together. It is more convenient to carry than the cannons of your court."

Anzabu sneered: "It's useless to carry them around. These guns are very troublesome to use. After firing one shot, you have to wait for half a day before firing the second shot. When we meet our Mongolian cavalry on the grassland, we don't wait for them to fire the second shot." , you can kill them all."

Hearing this, Shi Bin smiled calmly and said: "The cannons of our Tiger Flag are really troublesome to use. As the general said, once the enemy gets close, it will be difficult to exert its power."

Many people knew about this shortcoming of the cannon, so he had no intention of defending it.

But he believed that if anyone on the grassland dared to attack their Tiger Flag, they would definitely experience the power of their Tiger Flag cannon.

"General, you heard it too. They themselves admit that their cannons are not as good as our Mongolian cavalry." Anzabu said proudly.

In his heart, the Mongolian cavalry were the most powerful. No matter whether it was the Ming Dynasty's muskets or cannons, if they encountered their Mongolian cavalry, they would only end up being killed.

Jamuka ignored Anzabu and said to Shi Bin: "Can you take me to see your cannons? Although I am a Mongolian, I am quite interested in your artillery carriages and cannons."

Shi Bin said: "I can't make the decision on this. If the general has any requirements, he can talk to our Deputy Director Li."

"Well, take me to see Mr. Li first." Jamukha said.

"General, wait a moment, I'll report it."

After saying that, Shi Bin walked into the room next to him.
