The eldest nephew said that he was worried about Ah Shi, but his body was very honest, and he turned his head and took out a drawing, on which his true love was drawn - a 117 caliber Yongle cannon.

"Uncle, I have a new idea, do you think it's reliable?" He sent the drawings to Zhao Hao as if he were offering a treasure.

Zhao Gongzi glanced at him helplessly, this is not good, this will be a lonely life, eldest nephew. Only then did he look at the drawing, and his eyes lit up.

I saw that the position of the cannon on the drawing had an additional flintlock gun-like device.

"Are you going to change the cannon to flint?"

"Uncle really saw through it at a glance!" Zhao Shizhen nodded hurriedly and explained: "I talked to the gunners and found that they generally agreed that firing the cannon with a fuse would affect the hit too much. It takes a few seconds between the moment the fuse is lit and the gun is fired, and the advance must be grasped. Moreover, each lead burns at different speeds, and it is difficult to catch the amount in advance. In addition, even if a fire fuse is used, the fire rope is easy to extinguish when it rains. ”

"Hmm." Zhao Hao nodded, sure enough, the weapon should be improved in actual combat.

Before the spread of rotating turrets, although the firing angle could be fine-tuned by manpower, it was very inconvenient. That's why it's important to seize the fleeting opportunity to strike with precision. At present, the firing structure of firing guns with fuses is indeed a major shackle that affects the hit rate.

"So my nephew naturally thought about whether he could also change the firing device of the cannon to the Longqing type, and fire it immediately as soon as the trigger was pulled." Zhao Shizhen hooked his fingers, looked at Zhao Hao and said, "Uncle, do you think there is a way to do this?" ”

"There is a door, of course there is a door!" Zhao Hao laughed and hugged his shoulders, like hugging a peerless beauty, and said with infinite affection: "You are really a fucking genius." Just follow this path and try to get it out as soon as possible! ”

As he spoke, he drew a cake for him and said, "Uncle promises, when we come to Japan again, we will definitely get you Ah Shi and her daughter!" ”

"Hey." Zhao Shizhen was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut, and he didn't know whether he was happy for Zhao Hao's promise, or because he was on the right path? Probably...... It's the latter.

This is the top secret of the Royal Navy! In 1745, British warships began to use flint mechanisms to fire their guns, but they kept it a secret and said that the reason why they hit accurately was 'without it, only by hand'...... Napoleon was convinced, like a big fool, and made all French warships hang Nelson's portrait, so as to urge them to be ashamed and courageous, and to train well.

As a result, the emperor did not see the day when the French Navy increased its hit rate until he died.

It wasn't until the middle of the nineteenth century, when Europe began to use the more superior fire pipe to fire artillery, that the French knew that they had been blinded by the British for a century. If it weren't for the fierce Germans, they would never have forgiven him.

Zhao Gongzi was secretly ruthless, and when his eldest nephew came up with an artillery flint engine, he would also learn from it himself, and keep it secret for two centuries!

The whole journey from the Guanmen Strait back to the garrison base is 700 miles, the first half of the journey is countercurrent, and the second half is downstream. Fortunately, the northeast wind has been blowing for the past few days, and it will be there in almost two days.

Taking advantage of this time on the road, Zhao Gongzi held a meeting of all police officers and announced the successful conclusion of his two-month 'disciplinary action', in addition to expressing his gratitude and congratulations to them, he also asked all police officers to summarize the gains and losses of the operation, and carefully study and discuss them after returning to the base, so as to formulate a targeted training plan for the coming year.

After the conference, he had a small meeting with Jin Ke, Wang Rulong and Ma Yinglong in his room.

I will return to Hong Kong soon, and everyone is in a relaxed mood. Zhao Hao asked Qiaoqiao to bring refreshments, and invited the three of them to chat while drinking tea.

"This time I exceeded the target." Zhao Hao held the teacup, leaned lazily on the sofa, and said with a smile: "Not only did the three plans in advance - hunting the Galen ships, destroying the naval armies of Kyushu, and monopolizing the trade of Kyushu, all of them have been achieved. Moreover, through the Battle of the Kanmon Strait, he forced the Maori family to sign the "Treaty of Shimonoseki" and obtained Iwami Ginzan in advance...... I was going to wait two years. ”

"Who would have thought that the two sons of Maori Motoshi were trapped in Moji City?" The three of them couldn't help laughing and said, "It can be seen that the son is blessed with all the sky." ”

"Hahaha." Zhao Hao laughed out loud. "By the way, there is also Sakai City to take refuge. Moreover, it has achieved the effect of training troops through actual combat, and this time it is really worth the trip. ”

"yes." The three nodded approvingly.

"In the battle of the Guanmen Strait, I finally played a little elite." Wang Rulong looked quite proud, and changed his words again: "But there are many problems, and we have to summarize and improve them." ”

"That's right, so we must make a good training outline this year, train strictly in the coming year, and improve our combat effectiveness as soon as possible." Jin Ke also said in a deep voice.

It is about to enter the wax moon, and at this time, the police force has entered a state of vacation, and can only wait for the spring of next year to train well.

"Hmm." Zhao Gongzi put down the teacup and said: "In the fourth year of Longqing, the garrison area is mainly based on expansion training, and there will be basically no major movements. Saying that, he glanced at Wang Rulong and said, "As long as Sado Island and Zhenyuan Island are taken down as planned." ”

Advertisement,[Source change artifact APP] is really good, it's worth installing one, after all, there are many sources, all books, and fast updates!

"Yes." Wang Rulong hurriedly responded.

"Next year, the garrison area will put up the shelves of various water police stations and police stations, and build forts and docks." Zhao Hao instructed Ma Yinglong again: "You bother with this matter, share it for Brother Jin." ”

"Understood." Ma Yinglong hurriedly took over the task.

"I'll go back and urge again, and strive to complete the boats for the marine police stations within a year." After Zhao Hao finished speaking, he thought about it, and then told the two of them: "You remember, try not to mix in the affairs of Kyushu Island, and don't care if they play dog brains." Otomo Zonglin is a little floating, and he has to be sober. ”

"Understood." The two hurriedly responded.

"As for the Maori family, don't rush to Oki Island, there should be a good show next year." Zhao Hao touched his chin and thought for a while, and felt that it was better to speak clearly, so he explained:

The reason why Mao Liyuan was in a hurry to redeem his two sons was not only because of his love for his sons, but also because he wanted them to lead the troops to pacify the remnants of the Nizi family and the Ouchi family in the territory. Don't look at the Nizi family's movement is quite big, and the offensive is quite fierce, but it is definitely not the opponent of the Maori two rivers, and eighty percent will retreat to Hidden Island. At that time, if you show up at the right time, you might as well help the Nizi family. ”

"If they can swear allegiance to us, they can give Oki Island to the Niko family as a base camp, and you can establish a base on the nearby West Island. It's a natural roundabout, and it's a fitting naval base – and then let the Nizi help us mine the silver mountains, and we protect them so that the Maori don't act rashly. ”

"Yes." The two of them hurriedly wrote it down, and Ma Yinglong asked softly, "Is Childe worried about the Maori family breaking the contract?" ”

"Hmm. These Japanese daimyo have little credibility to speak of. Breaking a contract is as easy as shitting and farting. Zhao Hao said lightly: "And we will at least double the output of Iwami Silver Mountain, it is strange that the Maori family can not be blushing." Although they don't dare to rob openly, they are secretly making trouble, and it is very simple for us to stay in. ”

"But Iwami Province has always been the territory of the Niko family, and it is basically a mountainous area that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the mountain people and miners have their hearts set on the Niko family. If we let the Nizi family help us mine, not only did the Maori family not dare to make trouble, but they also had to obediently curry favor with us, begging not to let the Nizi family become bigger. ”

Zhao Hao said with a teasing smile: "Otherwise, with the support of our warships, Shikanosuke will become a nightmare for the Maori family, and they will never be at peace." ”

"Childe's name!" The three of them couldn't help but be impressed, and said in their hearts that no one knew Japan better than Childe.

"What about the other one?" And they asked.

"The Ouchi family let him fend for himself. Backing them is a loss-making deal that cannot be done. Zhao Hao sighed lightly, who let them not see the silver mountain in stone?

He also admonished in a deep voice: "In short, remember that the strategy for Japan is the four words 'offshore checks and balances'. It is necessary to make it impossible for each side to eat the other, so that we can sit back and watch the tiger fight, and obtain the maximum strategic benefits at the minimum cost. ”

"Yes!" The three of them responded in unison.

On the twenty-third day of the winter month, the coast guard fleet returned to Tamna Island, which had been absent for more than two months.

Ten warships of the Tongzi Power Lingcheng Shanshui Police Station lined up outside Niudao to greet the soldiers and fired a salute to welcome the soldiers' triumph.

Amid the jubilant sound of firecrackers, the battleships with patched sails and scarred hulls slowly entered Chengshan Harbor one after another.

The wharf of the military port was noisy. The remaining police officers, the construction workers, the mayor of Singang Tang Woo-deok, the Jeju pastor of the Lee Dynasty, the Jeolla Jeju Governor Park Sung-seong, and a group of merchants from the Tamna Chamber of Commerce gathered at the pier to greet them.

Seeing the coast guard members wearing straight police robes and standing on the side of the ship in a majestic manner, the police officers and the people all let out a heartless cheer.

In the eyes of Tang Youde and others, there is only the high-spirited Zhao Gongzi.

When the gangway was erected, Zhao Gongzi walked off the flagship surrounded by the generals.

"Childe is worried about the death of Old Tang!" Tang Youde wiped his tears while coming out like a cannonball, hugging Zhao Hao's legs.

That is, he can have this treatment, and if he changed to someone else, he would have been kicked into the sea by Big Brother Gao.

"Okay, okay, so many people are watching." Zhao Gongzi patted Tang Fatzi's head and looked behind him.

"Xiaguan meets Childe!" Li Ruotong and Pu Chengxing were busy leading the crowd to bow down devoutly. They had already heard from Jin Xishan, who rushed back to receive the goods first, about the heroic deeds of Zhao Gongzi's fleet and killing all sides in Japan.

If the Li Dynasty said that he had been confronted before, it was mainly because of the aura of the Heavenly Empire under the influence of the 'Great Doctrine'.

At this time, what they were in awe of was the Zhao Gongzi himself, who led the army to victory.

Zhao Gongzi is invincible! Being Zhao Gongzi's dog, it's so secure! Barking!

On the same day, a grand celebration banquet was held at the base of the garrison area.

In the large open space under the castle mountain, piles of bonfires were lit. Singang City and Jeju Prefecture sent abundant supplies for the labor army, such as stewed beef, roast whole sheep, roast suckling pig, fried fish, roast chicken......

There are also liquor, wine, rice wine, and three-whip wine......

The officers and men of the Coast Guard, who have not drunk a drop of alcohol for more than two months, can finally drink happily!

ps. I did an outline for a day today, and I didn't have time to write two chapters, only this one chapter, and I tried to make it up tomorrow.
