Chapter 232: Salvage
Boom!
Xu Hongji finally couldn't resist Wang Siyuan's momentum oppression, and fell down in vain, and the whole person fell softly on the chair, leaning down with his back, and making a soft bang. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I ...... I ........" Xu Hongji's face struggled, but he couldn't say the last few words. Wang Siyuan was not in a hurry, and continued his language offensive.
"Except for the fall of Liaoyang and Shenyang, now is the best time." As he spoke, Wang Siyuan also took out a newspaper, pointed to the article on it and said, "Look here, the Apocalypse is recruiting soldiers, I don't know how many people are for the time being, but in the face of several provinces in the north, the number will definitely not be small, the newspaper will come here from the north, it will take more than ten days, and the conscription must be in full swing now, and his Yulin Army will be scattered out, and it will definitely not be collected for a while." ”
"Look at here, about the introduction of Liaodong, you look carefully and clearly, all the land is nationalized and then redistributed. Haha, the cultivator has his field, what a good wish. I just don't know how a big landlord like you, Lord Guogong, will deal with himself when this policy is implemented in Jiangnan. Wang Siyuan laughed and said.
"The Xu family has already agreed." He suddenly retracted his smile and said something lightly.
"Which Xu family?" Xu Hongji asked in astonishment.
"Which Xu family can it be, comparable to your family's land, the Xu family of Songjiang Mansion with tens of thousands of acres of land." Wang Siyuan sneered, "They are much happier than you, as soon as they saw this news, they immediately agreed and acted together." ”
"A dignified prince is so indecisive." Wang Siyuan continued to use the radical method, "Tell you, I don't just have this hole card in my hand, the testament of the first emperor that was rumored at the beginning, and even the deathbed of Lord Li Sancai, are all in my hands." ”
"I can tell you with great certainty that the Apocalypse will not only collect agricultural taxes, but also nationalize the land, collect commercial taxes, and talk about the business at sea in your hands.
Wang Siyuan's words were like a steel needle, nailed to Xu Hongji's heart, making his heart completely shattered.
"Don't say it, I promise you." After saying this, Xu Hongji was completely soft, and there was no longer any strength in his body.
"Very good, Lord Guogong is very wise, the adults will rest first tonight, and I will come to discuss specific matters with the adults tomorrow." Wang Siyuan clapped his palms and left satisfied.
Soon after, there was a soft sobbing sound from the study, which was not loud and seemed to be violently suppressed.
"I'm sorry for my ancestors!"
Ningbo, Ningbo Port.
There were blackened burning residues in the water, and some ships floated above the harbor with a winch attached to it, and the rope in the winch was dragged and dived.
After a while, the rope sank, and the whole rope was jumped straight, and the big man on the boat saw this, and began to turn the winch, pulling it up hard, and soon, a swarthy thing came out, and if you looked closely, it was a cannon.
On the shore of the port, Yu Zhigao stood, his face full of relief, and his heart became even happier as a cannon of different calibers was salvaged from the water. With these cannons, with a few days of training, the white pole soldiers who can arrange the spear phalanx can ensure the basic combat power.
"Missionary, the configuration of gunpowder is for you, I hope to make some as soon as possible." Yu Zhigao said to a Franc machine man dressed as a missionary next to him.
"Don't worry, general, I'll leave this to you." Bo Fanji said in a strange tone, "I only hope that the general can take me to Beijing to meet His Majesty the Great Emperor of your country at that time." ”
"There is no problem in taking you to Jingshi, but I can't guarantee that the emperor will definitely see you." Yu Zhigao frowned and said.
"The general can rest assured, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely see me, but I have brought thousands of books, His Majesty the Great Emperor will definitely receive me happily." Bo Fanji said affirmatively.
Yu Shigao felt very strange about the missionary's inexplicable confidence, but it didn't matter to him, as long as this guy could help him prepare gunpowder, and then he would ask the emperor, and the emperor should meet.
The salvage of the cannons continued for several days, and it was finally difficult to search for Yu Zhigao that Yu Zhigao stopped. According to the last statistics, a total of 126 six-pound guns, 24 12-pound guns, and 8 eighteen-pound guns were salvaged.
However, Yu Zhigao did not carry all of them, and the 12-kilogram cannon and 18-kilogram cannon were too heavy to accompany the army at all, so they could only stay in the port and be used as shore defense artillery.
What Yu Zhigao really wants is hundreds of six-pound guns, which is what the army uses. And the caliber is unified, so it is good to make shells on an improvised basis.
Dragging the last cannon caught today, Yu Zhigao returned to the temporary military camp outside Ningbo City, where the shouting was shaking the sky, and the white pole soldiers in the wild land of Tusi in the southwest were receiving regular queue drills. After a few days of training, it looks like it looks like it now.
The main training is Qin Liangyu, his two younger brothers are assisting him, the instructors are the two thousand remaining sailors, and Shen Yourong is taking the one thousand gunners and constantly refreshing and drying the cannons.
"General, you have gained so little today!" Seeing Yu Zhigao dragging things back, Shen Yourong greeted him.
"You're too little, it's nice to have one. Come, let me introduce you, this is a missionary from Bo Fanji, starting today, to help us prepare gunpowder, and that pile of things that we don't know how to play with can finally come in handy. Yu Zhigao said with emotion.
His salvage operation has been going on for several days, and the progress is good in all aspects, but no one understands the configuration of gunpowder, and no one knows how to play with the charcoal, saltpeter, and sulfur that he wants to return from Ningbo Prefecture.
"Welcome, Priest." Shen Yourong said hello to the other party.
"Thank you for your greetings, General, and I hope we can be friends." Bo Fanji bent down and bowed his hand, and performed a twisted Chinese etiquette.
"Hahaha, priest Bofanji, you're so kind." Shen Yourong saw his awkward appearance, and returned the salute with a smile.
"General, where do I work?" Bo asked Ji.
"In the small room over there, there are a few craftsmen in there, and they are your assistants." Yu Zhigao stretched out his hand and pointed, "I hope you can pay attention to safety and don't have accidents." ”
"Okay, General, I'm going to work." Bo Fanji saluted and passed.
"Haha, it's still an acute one." Yu Zhigao said with a smile, the good progress made him feel good.
"It seems that all the people are like this." Shen Yourong also smiled and agreed. The two chatted with each other about work, and then separated, intending to go about their own affairs.
