Chapter 99: I'll show you how many guns come together
What I thought was a fortress of safety was nothing but a small boat and wooden boat on the stormy sea, and I never knew how critical my situation would be without opening my eyes......
In the courtyard, Ye Shu spoke calmly, not alarmist, not arrogant, but just told the cruel reality.
In fact, Ye Shu sometimes admires this group of Manchu magnates!
What's more, what kind of birds have become against the wind, and their mentality is still as stable as Mount Tai.
At this time, the Maxim heavy machine gun has been mass-produced by the great powers, and even used it to directly abuse Monk Greenqin, which can be called a cruel scene that only appeared in the novel.
A group of black iron riding horse-drawn bows and knives will go to PK a group of kings with heavy machine guns!
Not to mention the fact that Denmark has developed a light machine gun for single use.
All over Europe, an arms race is quietly going on!
In Germany at this time, the Mauser gun was already able to hold eight bullets, and it was quietly trained, and the gun was not to be shot.
Britain, France and Germany are desperately developing new artillery, and in the case of TNT has been developed and steel smelting has been improved, the caliber of the gun has soared from 70MM all the way, and it has soared!
BEFORE THE FIRST WAR, THE CALIBER OF GERMAN'S ARTILLERY EVEN REACHED AN ASTONISHING HEIGHT OF 400MM, AND THE KING OF ARTILLERY "BIG BERTA" DEVELOPED BY IT COULD BOMBARD PARIS FROM 120 KM AWAY!
Rapid-fire artillery, the butcher of the battlefield, will appear in this world and devour countless lives!
In another ten years, by 1903, the airplane will be developed!
In the late Qing Dynasty, because of the more than a dozen battleships of the Beiyang Navy and Niu B, when he felt that it was easy to beat Ying Island, the number of submarines in the whole of Europe had reached 900......
This situation is like a person who doesn't know the so-called "Mu Zixin" and runs to "Liu Shaochong" and asks us who is thick and who is hard.
Not an order of magnitude at all, okay!
It's really annoying to people, and I'll kill you with one shot!
But the Qing court is stable, his face was trampled on the ground and rubbed, and he was still pretending to be B all day.
This point, Ye Shu admired it so much.
……
As Ye Shu said one by one, the noise, discussion, and disbelief in the courtyard slowly became quiet, but outside the courtyard, because of Ye Shu's "lecture", more and more people were attracted.
As a foreign student, Ye Shu also said that anyone can come to listen to the class, and those who have the conditions to come will naturally come.
Fortunately, this courtyard is very large and can accommodate so many people.
As the owner of this courtyard, Ren Shiping, the third master, was already sweating when he heard it. He is a senior wealthy family in the city of Guangzhou, and his family has been a wealthy family in Guangzhou for several generations, deep-rooted, and seeks stability in his work, so he does not please the Shahe Gang on weekdays, but just makes money with harmony.
Ye Shu rented him this yard, he was reluctant before, thinking that it would show that he and Ye Shu were too close and not stable enough.
Lecture and lecture, what can you do if you stay abroad, take a scholar from the court, or only take the eight shares?
Having been beaten by the great powers for decades, he doesn't live his own small life like this?
Can the Qing Dynasty still die?
Ye Shu lectures, at most talk about the "Four Books and Five Classics" of foreigners!
But now, just because he listened to two words out of curiosity, he was shocked.
Ren Shiping's world has always been only a small one-acre and three-point land in Guangzhou City, only the wine shop street, the shops in the commercial store, and his own field in the west of the city.
He never knew what the outside world was like, and he didn't want to know.
But now, looking at the map in front of him and listening to the world situation that Ye Shu talked about, his whole body was weak in his heart, and his forehead was sweating.
The situation in the Qing Dynasty is not only dangerous, it is simply put in the crater!
According to the general trend of the world mentioned by Ye Shu, the industries of his own family are not enough to impact, I am afraid that if he can't wait for his son's imperial examination, the foreigners will come in!
Didn't you listen to Ye Shu and the traveling merchants in the city, the foreigners have begun to occupy the land and grab money and land!
A spirit, Ren Shiping hurriedly called the housekeeper next to him: "Go to the private school, bring the young master back! Let him listen to Mr. Ye's lectures, go quickly!"
The housekeeper hesitated: "Master, Old Master Liu has always been strict, and the young master left school halfway, so he was afraid of ......."
"I'm just afraid of what!" Ren Shiping wiped the sweat from his forehead, "The troubled times are coming, what's the use of reading those four books and five classics! Go quickly! Ride a horse!"
The housekeeper answered, and hurriedly rushed to the private school.
Gone!
Thinking of this word, Ren Shiping felt another chill in his back, and the terrible things that the older generation talked about, "the chaotic soldiers swept the world, and the people changed their children and eaten", as if they were about to happen in front of him.
The powerful and wealthy have always had a greater sense of crisis than the common people in troubled times, because they will lose more......
……
Ren Shiping is not the only one.
Almost all of the wealthy families in the city who heard the news sent their children over, and even if they were riding on the wall like those mud-legged people to listen, they had to crowd to the front.
Even, in some private schools, the private school gentlemen who were not angry that the students were snatched away and wanted to come to debate with Ye Shu were silent for a moment after they came, and their heartbeats accelerated.
This is not how good Ye Shu's eloquence is, it is really the current world situation, which is too dangerous!
Not long ago, the sailors of the imperial court were just sunk by foreigners!
Of course, there are also doubts.
"Mr. Ye, you are a bit alarmist, right? I am a big Qing Dynasty and all countries are coming to the court, even if foreigners are really proficient in some strange and obscene skills, my Qing Dynasty is also a large number of generals, and the Beijing division is engaged in the Westernization movement, so I can always return to the sky with strength?"
"That's right, it's okay to be stable for decades, and if you Mr. Ye say a few words, the Qing Dynasty is about to die?
"Shhhh
"Hush, what's the matter! Although the foreigners say that the ship is strong and the guns are sharp, we are also practicing martial arts to strengthen our bodies! Hey, not to mention anything else, like Huang Feihong and Master Huang, who has no shadow in one hand, that is an invincible opponent in Guangzhou!"
"That's right, the Yue family knife is also, according to Master Yue, this knife is passed down from Yue Fei's grandfather's hand, and the knife technique left by Grandpa Yue, killing foreigners is not the same as killing chicks?"
“……”
There are many such people, stubborn concepts, and words are difficult to change.
Ye Shu didn't argue with them, and after talking about the world situation, he asked his subordinates to help the people put away the map and steam engine, and walked outside: "The foreigners are strong and the ships are strong, you can also practice martial arts to serve the country?"
"Okay! Then I'll show you how powerful the foreigners' artillery fire is!"
Ye Shu's voice was not loud, but it made everyone follow behind.
On the streets of Guangzhou, Ye Shu was in front of him, behind him were countless people with children and children, and even the officers and soldiers who heard the news, and even the admiral, followed behind.
Outside the city, the militia group and the Shahe gang had already arranged their artillery positions, and when they saw Ye Shuling's flag waved, they complied with the order and began to load the shells.
"Today, I'll show you how terrible it will be when ten thousand cannons are fired!"
