"Tell me, how much artillery and ammunition were delivered?" Ma Qiang asked, looking at the convoy that was entering the barracks.

"Twelve test type 3 guns, 30 rounds of ammunition each!"

"The name of the test type three is too ugly, take a nice name, let's call it the Chuping two-year tiger squat cannon!"

"Brother Pony is just good when he gets a name!" Yue Yang slapped a sycophant in time.

"Ming Gong! I heard that the artillery arrived?? ”

Without looking back, Ma Qiang knew that the person who came was Gan Shi.

Since Gan Shi learned about the power of artillery from Ma Qiang, it was called a person who couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep.

I dreamed of seeing what the cannon that was blown by Ma Qiang to break through mountains and rubble looked like.

But when he saw it, Gan Shi only felt that his dream was about to be shattered.

It's just a cylinder!

"Battalion master, this thing is artillery?" Gan Shi touched the tiger squatting cannon, with a look of disdain.

It's ugly!

"Yes, this is the god of war - artillery!" Ma Qiang sighed with emotion.

Although there are still 108,000 miles of artillery in later generations, this is the first step in the long march.

Even if he is gone, with these artillery, the Huaxia clan will be enough to lie down and eat for hundreds of years.

Of course, Ma Qiang didn't think that with muskets and artillery, everything would be fine, and he could run rampant in the world.

Didn't the Ming Dynasty have muskets and artillery? When the Qing army started, it relied on cold weapons.

During the First Sino-Japanese War, was the ordnance of the Qing army worse than that of the Japanese army?

Weaponism is absolutely wrong.

Ma Qiang was confident that he would accumulate ten or eight years, and defeat all the princes with the muskets and artillery in his hands.

But he didn't have the confidence to rely on these muskets and artillery to dominate the world.

To put it bluntly, guns are just tools, this is not a game after all, it is not that everything will be fine if you win the war, and you can firmly grasp the legend of the Three Kingdoms in one place.

If he couldn't solve the political problem, Cao Cao would be stolen by Chen Gong and his family would be gone, Ma Qiang didn't feel that he was ten times stronger than Cao Cao.

"Okay, when the artillery arrives, you can finish the gunboat, and after that, you can go to sea to suppress the thieves."

As he spoke, Ma Qiang looked at Gan Shi and asked, "Gan Daochang, since you are willing to come back, you should have figured out the situation of the two thieves Guan and Sun." ”

Gan Dao Chang smiled and said, "Who is Poor Dao, isn't this a hand-to-hand capture?" ”

"Let's go, go in and say, Yue Liang, you go to Wang Ge to hand it over."

Yue Liang sighed, and Ma Qiang took Gan Shi back to his temporary residence.

Ma Qiang's temporary residence is on a hill on the edge of the military port, facing the sea, and the spring flowers are blooming.

Ma Qiang took Gan Shi to his study, and asked Guo Jia and others to attend the meeting together.

After everyone arrived, Ma Qiang asked Gan Shidao, "Okay, let's talk about it." ”

Gan Shi took out two drawings from his arms, put them on the table, and said to everyone, "Poor Dao was ordered by the camp master to investigate the reality of the pirates, and at first I really didn't think of where to start, but finally I suddenly remembered that these pirates have been on the island, if no one is on the road to answer, how can there be money and food."

Poor Dao went to Laoshan again, and sure enough, he found their spies on land on Laoshan Mountain, and then followed the vine to find out their truth clearly. ”

"I said why Gan Daochang has been reluctant to come down on Laoshan Mountain, it turns out that he is holding back a great achievement!" Lin Hai patted his head and said.

"That's it! Who is Poor Dao! I'm from a background."

"Stop! Keep talking! Ma Qiang directly blocked Gan Shi's mouth and asked him to get down to business.

Gan Shi pursed his lips and continued, "The charts for the two places are here, and the two of them have already known the news that the camp master is here to repair ships and prepare for war, and they are preparing to join forces to fight with the camp master!" ”

"How many ships do they have?"

"Most of the ships under management are warships, including nearly 20 Mengchong and fighting ships, and there are even three building ships!"

"Lou ship?"

Ma Qiang couldn't help frowning and asked, "How can he have a ship?" ”

"Then I don't know, Guo Zu, Gongsun Qian and their gang are all fishing boats and small boats, but the emphasis is on the number of people."

Ma Qiang looked at Guo Jia, Guo Jia smiled and said, "Gan Daochang said that the two of them are preparing to join forces, but there has been no movement so far, I'm afraid they are waiting for something." ”

Gan Shi stroked his beard and said, "I know from the mouths of those Taoist chiefs in Laoshan that there will be windy days here every February and March. ”

wind

Ma Qiang immediately thought of the Battle of Chibi.

Could it be that these pirates want to burn down the port of Qingdao?

Guo Jia continued, "I'm afraid it's not just that, just like the Taoist chief said just now, these pirates, if they don't have people on land to respond, they can't be a big deal at all, if Jia is not mistaken, Donglai must still have their allies."

Once our army is engaged with these pirates, their allies will come out from our rear! ”

Allies? I'll it, does this mean that there is a mastermind behind the scenes?

Ma Qiang immediately said to Huang Xu, "Send someone to contact Xi Xi and Cai Ji, here in Donglai, there is a big clan with the most soldiers and the most fields!" ”

"Ming Gong, if what I expected is correct, it should be after Li Zhong, one of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai in the past, Li Hei of Huangxian County!" Guo Jia immediately replied.

"Twenty-eight generals of the gimbal?" Ma Qiang couldn't help but take a breath when he heard this familiar name.

After the revival of Guangwu in that year, Emperor Liu Zhuang of the Han Ming Dynasty painted the 28 people with the highest military achievements in Yuntai Pavilion at that time, and later generations called these 28 people as the 28 generals of Yuntai.

Li Zhong used to destroy Wang Lang with Guangwu, Pinghebei, was named the Marquis of Zhongshui, and his descendants gathered in Huang County, it has been nearly two hundred years, Cai County guarded back to Donglai to prepare Qingtian, the biggest opposition is this Li family.

What's more, when looking at Qingdao's land account books, he found that a large number of fields in Qingdao had been classified into the hands of the Li family in the past three years! ”

Guo Jia's words made everyone imagine the appearance of a heinous warrior who let the pirates attack and kill the people with one hand and embezzle the people's fields with the other.

"Huang County is not close to this, if the Li clan wants to make trouble, how should he use his troops?"

Ma Qiang looked at the map, Huang County was near Penglai in the later generations, and it was four hundred miles away from Qingdao in a straight line.

"Ming Gong, the pirates have a large number of ships, and they can land wherever they want on all the coasts of Donglai County, if they really collude, I think they will definitely attract our army all the way head-on, and land all the way to the shore and kill from somewhere.

If my army is unprepared, it is possible to think that this road is a rebel army and accept it into the camp. ”

In this era, it is normal for the mighty and righteous army to help the official army fight, and if it is an ordinary prince, it is really possible to do what Guo Jia said.

But Ma Qiang knew that he had offended these warriors to death, and he didn't believe that any Haoqiang was willing to help him.

"In that case, what should our army do?"

Guo Jia smiled: "Of course, it is to lure the snake out of the hole!" ”
