Chapter 373: The Year Passes
At the experimental site, Hou Hai and a few others stared at the cannon in front of them with a pair of eyes as if they were looking at a rare treasure. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Hou Hai plucked out his ears that were a little dazed, looked at Shen Xingnan with a grin, and shouted loudly: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, this is too good!" This guy usually never calls his brother-in-law when he is outside, but today he was really too excited, and he blurted out the brother-in-law when he forgot the occasion.
Ge Juju also exaggerated his emotion: "This thing is good, this thing is good, even I can't do it!"
Lu Changshan pouted and said, "Giant, although you are big, you are made of meat, how can you compare with this guy?" Did you go out with your brain today?"
"Dead fox, you have a brain! Grandpa, I'm just emotional, sighing, do you understand!"
"Shut up and stop one by one." Zhang Datie really can't bear to look at it directly, and his group of flamboyant brothers don't look at any occasion!
Li Yunbao looked at the group of happy guys in front of him with a smile, and asked Shen Xingnan sideways: "Anan, you are amazing, this guy is very powerful and has good lethality, but you have built a few artillery pieces over there now, is it enough to arm our warships?"
"This is the first one, but there are two of them, and the next manufacturing speed will definitely not be slow. It's just that at the moment we can't load the battleship with artillery. ”
"Why?" Li Yunbao was puzzled.
"The top hasn't heard back yet, we can't do anything about it, and I have to have someone send this first cannon to Beijing to offer."
Shen Xingnan explained lightly, and Li Yunbao understood it in seconds when he heard it.
In order to ensure the safety of this guy, Shen Xingnan deliberately asked Lu Changshan to take a team of lightning and forty elite soldiers of the Shen family army to escort him, and he went directly by sea and land, and entered Beijing with a big treasure sail.
As soon as Lu Changshan left with his things, the flying pigeon biography sent by He Shengyuan over there reached Shen Xingnan's hand, and Shen Xingnan saw the good news delivered by He Shengyuan, and he immediately wrote another secret letter.
told He Shengyuan the good news that all the artillery and gunpowder on his side had been successfully researched, and he had already asked people to transport the big guy to Beijing and present it to His Majesty the Emperor, and asked He Shengyuan to pay attention to this matter.
Because the speed of the flying pigeon was faster than that of Baofan, Shen Xingnan also specially instructed He Shengyuan to pick up Lu Changshan and others.
After these things were arranged, Shen Xingnan ordered to increase the production of gunpowder and artillery, and strive to be armed with at least ten on each battleship.
During this period, the entire Shen family's army devoted themselves to the training of naval warfare.
There is really no way about this, the main force of the Shen family army is hundreds of people from the Northland, and only a very few are familiar with water, but these very few people are also seasick, and they have been trained by Shen Xingnan like a devil a few days ago, in order to strive to get on the ship as soon as possible to fight.
In order to fight for a breath, Zhang Dali and others also fought hard, soaking in the water almost every day, staying on the boat to adapt to the environment, but the effect is also significant.
Everyone looked embarrassed at the beginning, and then slowly got used to it, and now they are no worse than the people who are familiar with water in the south, which shows how much they have paid.
When the ten warships were all armed to the teeth, and when the good news came from the capital, the Minzhou Mansion also entered the Layue, and it was about to be the New Year.
There is no snow in the winter of Minzhou Prefecture, and the temperature is one or two degrees at its lowest, and everyone's winter clothes are gone, as in the north, and it is enough to wear a thin jacket when it is cold here.
Li Yunbao has been in Minzhou Mansion for almost a year, and the New Year is about to be celebrated, Shen Xingnan must also treat everyone well, Shen Xingnan and Li Yunbao were very busy years ago, busy giving New Year's gifts to Uncle Zhong, Uncle Shen Xingnan, and Prince Yu's Mansion, and now that he is married to the Hai family, the prospective son-in-law over there also has to prepare gifts.
There is also Shen Xingnan who wants to give New Year's Day gifts to his generals, from the generals to the Shen family's soldiers, everyone has more or less received silver gifts from Shen Xingnan and his wife, and they just do this with a heart, wanting everyone to have a good New Year.
It's just that this circle has been sent down, and Li Yunbao's purse has lost a lot of weight, but fortunately, someone from the capital came.
This time, the artillery gunpowder offered by Shen Xingnan greatly won the sacred heart, and Emperor Shengde rewarded Shen Xingnan with a wave of his hand, a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, and promoted Shen Xingnan to a level.
Of course, along with the holy decree and reward of this promotion, there was also a line of secret guards, this secret guard has good martial arts, and they all wear silver masks to see their true faces, these people came for nothing else, just to take away the craftsmen who made artillery and gunpowder under Shen Xingnan.
Originally, Emperor Shengde thought that Shen Xingnan brushed him to play, if it wasn't for the artillery gunpowder that Shen Xingnan asked people to offer arrived in the capital, if it weren't for Emperor Shengde taking the opportunity to watch and verify it in person, I wouldn't have heard the holy decree of this son's punishment to Jiaole.
Of course, these are all things that Shen Xingnan doesn't know, at this time, he can only watch this group of people take away their craftsmen, but Shen Xingnan can't resist at all, because Shen Xingnan, who has two lifetimes of experience, knows that these people are the secret guards of the emperor Lao'er, and they are all powerful.
Afterwards, when Li Yunbao learned about this from her husband, Li Yunbao asked Shen Xingnan curiously, if it was lightning and these royal secret guards, who would win and who would lose, only in exchange for Shen Xingnan's angry rubbing of his head, and helplessly--Are you not confident in the lightning you have trained? Do they be weak or not, you don't know?
Although Shen Xingnan said so, there is one thing that the royal secret guard can't do with lightning, that is, people are not only secret guards but also dead soldiers, and when it comes to not dying, it must be a dead soldier, if it really comes to a critical moment, it is not good that lightning will not be able to do others! Shen Xingnan didn't say anything about Li Yunbao.
Not to mention this stubble, Shen Xingnan sighed in his heart, fortunately, his battleship was armed, and fortunately, the gunpowder manufactured was sufficient, even among his wife's treasures, he secretly stored a lot of them, and of course there were twenty cannons stored together.
Lu Changshan, who came back with this group of people, also brought back another good news, that is, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was unlucky again, and Zhang Zhongxian had concluded the trial of the military salary case and found out that although the prince was not deposed, he was also punished to guard the Tailing.
To tell the truth, Li Yunbao was very dissatisfied with such a result, and only felt that the emperor was blind and blind, so why didn't he abolish such a bad thing as the prince.
Or Shen Xingnan's words to solve the puzzle, today's emperor is the best at playing the art of balance, as long as the prince does not rebel, then the emperor will not abolish him in the current situation, even if he commits a heinous crime.
