After the general direction is communicated, the secondary problems in the rest of the cooperation, such as logistics, will be solved casually.

Sun Yuan incarnated as the governor of Denglai and was the highest military commander in the Liaodong flank theater. The Ming Dynasty includes the administrative areas south of the Shandong Peninsula, and the war materials supplied to the war zone in peacetime will be assembled in Dengzhou and dispatched by Sun Yuanhua.

So when it came to logistics arrangements, Sun Yuanhua groaned slightly, and allocated a large amount of military grain and grass to Sha Zhengming, and took out temporary supporting facilities such as school yards and military camps.

The amount of grain and grass was allocated according to the daily ration of the local army in Dengzhou.

From this point of view, Lao Sun still attaches great importance to the arrival, because according to the convention, the supply of the guest army is one level less than that of the main army.

However, Sha Zhengming is different from other guest soldiers, he doesn't care much about these. After a few polite sentences, he put forward some requirements for the local business environment.

Sun Yuanhua smiled when he heard this, revealing the exclusive mysterious expression of the scholar looking at the businessman: "These are all trivial things, why worry about it." ”

In this way, the first day after the aid fleet arrived in Dengzhou and settled down was very meaningful.

At the beginning of the second day, the fleet docked to rest, and the water city was bustling.

On the side of the civil wharf, Lifu, wearing a tattered homespun short robe, carried bags, boxes, and bags of goods, stepped on the swaying ship, and unloaded the goods into the warehouse. At this moment, there are many people on the dock, and the indigenous bigwigs of the three mountains and five mountains have gathered, staring greedily at the goods, and at the same time, they are talking to each other, trying to find a good way to ask to meet the owner of the goods.

As for the owner of the goods...... The owner of the goods will not care about dealing with the merchants, and they are all "playing martial arts" on the official wharf.

With a crisp burst of gunfire and uproar, a row of clay pots turned into broken porcelain on the official wharf lined with soldiers.

——————————————————————————

Sun Yuanhua was a man who studied under Xu Guangqi, a pioneer of Western Chinese studies. These two can be said to be the representatives of the Ming Dynasty version of "opening your eyes to see the world".

Of course, there is also a connection to seeing the world with open eyes. Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua were both regular Catholics, who had embraced some of the ideas of modern Western natural sciences and were the most valuable believers in the development of missionaries such as Matteo Ricci in the East.

Sun Yuanhua wrote many books in his life, among which the works on natural sciences are particularly valuable, such as "The Original of Geometry" that he participated in translating, "Geometric Usage" and "Taixi Calculations" and other books written by him.

Although Sun Yuanhua was undoubtedly the most outstanding geometrician in the 17th century in the East, he was best known not for geometry, but for his works on firearms and the art of war.

It seems that such an indigenous scientist is naturally interested in the various types of firearms that are extremely sharp in the legend of the time-traveler.

This is also the reason why Lao Sun is easy to talk in front of the traverser: exchange knowledge and communicate with each other.

So he came early this morning to "visit" the guests. The governor appeared, followed by a vote of highly interested Dongjiang miners, after all, it is said that there are very advanced cannons on the passenger ship, and as a martial artist, he naturally can't let go of a good opportunity for military observation.

So there was a gunshot on the pier - the big guy became interested and opened a shooting range on the spot, without any regard for the safety of the people who ate melons.

After watching the firearm shooting, a cadre of people who were full of interest personally went down to the field to fire a few rounds of live ammunition, and then not only Sun Yuanhua, but also a cadre of generals, including Kong Youde, said that the fire cap gun was "sharp" and "difficult to be defeated".

After that, the main event: watching the cannons.

Warships that are ready to fight at all times have long been ready to go. Guests step on deck with their front feet and leave the port with their back feet.

There are so many places to visit on the warship. There are not only advanced artillery sighting and shooting systems, but also mysterious auxiliary power systems. In addition, the battleship itself, which has a smooth line shape and extremely fast speed, and can also be used as a platform for stable launch, is also the focus of geometry expert Sun Yuanhua.

Soon, the gunboat fired shells at a reef in the waters near Dengzhou.

This reef is randomly designated from a nearby reef. When Sha Zhengming, who was in the war room, gave the order, the staff officer began to measure the range and work on the map, and then the fire control officer used the copper wire sound transmission system to inform the battery to shoot Zhu Yuan, and then the battery fired a volley.

From the time the order was given to the start of the shelling, the whole process was controlled within 3 minutes.

The guests were amazed by the speed of the artillery response, and then looked through the binoculars and found that the accurate hit rate of the naval guns reached more than 90%.

All this, including the unheard-of reloading speed of the rapid-fire artillery, left a shocking impression on the viewer.

"Amazing! Dare to ask, this ability to measure and make pictures, I am afraid that there is geometry in it? ...... This is Sun Yuanhua's question.

"Good cannon! Hit accurately! I don't know if the general can intentionally make a move? ”...... This is the question of the head of the army.

"Geometry is a basic discipline, observing the sky and measuring the earth, measuring the sea and the land, all of which are inseparable from geometric knowledge."

Sha Zhengming first answered Lao Sun's question: "I know that Master Sun has learned a lot of geometry knowledge from foreign priests. However, it's not that I'm boasting, the things of foreigners are put in Yizhou at the moment, that is, the level of social studies. ”

Sun Yuanhua was not only not annoyed when he heard this, but showed a surprised expression: "Oh, I don't want Yizhou to be in a remote place, where culture and education are so prosperous. These learnings are probably taken from a foreign country in Haidong by your uncle? In this way, the official intends to find out. ”

Sha Zhengming picked up the surveying ruler on the table and handed it over: "If you have a chance, you can have a chance at any time, staff officers like me have all learned geometry." ”

Seeing that Lao Sun began to discuss the ruler and map with the staff officer, Sha Zhengming turned around again and said to Kong Youde with a smile: "Brother Ruitu (Kong Youde), this cannon is a militaristic weapon and will not be sold." However, since you and I are good friends, there will definitely be a lot of cooperation. ”

Kong Youde did not feel lost when he heard this. He knew the identity of the big southern warlord who came, and he also knew that the other party was much stronger than a small warlord like him. Since he is a warlord, it is natural that he is not willing to sell the things of the town's house, and it is wrong to sell them.

"The last general knows the benefits and disadvantages, and I hope that the adults will give you advice in the future."

When Kong Youde said this sentence with a little regret, he would not have thought that the purpose of such a large fleet going north to Dengzhou was himself. And the word "cooperation" in the mouth of the other party is not a flower, but a real all-round cooperation, the so-called RCEP in the 17th century.

Surprises and surprises that can be found everywhere will keep guests entertained on the standard frigates built by the Crossing Forces. Including the power system of the bilge, the sail system, and even the crew cabin and galley, you can find a lot of differences from the common sense of this era.

In this way, when it was time to hold the lights, the gunboats that were slowly moored off the coast of Dengzhou were lit up with sporadic lights.

As the governor, Sun Yuanhua had a lot of valuable affairs and finally returned to the city by boat. However, before returning to the city, Lao Sun still praised the various learnings on the ship, and agreed with the traveler that he would visit the door as soon as he had time, not only to study geometry, but also to study the way of "water and fire" in the power cabin.

As for the rest of the generals, in view of everyone's high interest today, plus there is work to be done, Sha Zhengming directly ordered a night flight, intending to entertain the guests for a night tour.

"I can't afford to raise it."

At dinner time, in a secluded place on the deck, with glass gas lamps hanging overhead, a group of local military generals in Dengzhou were sitting together, eating a standard meal from the ship's canteen.

Geng Zhongming, a short and stocky general of the Dengzhou Chinese Army, said vaguely while eating cowpea stew in an enamel jar: "This group of southerners is too arrogant. According to this method of raising soldiers, in less than two months, Lao Tzu will have to go and ask for food. ”

"It's true that the southerners have silver." A red-faced man next to him chewed his meal slowly: "I have shown people the boats anchored in Shuicheng, and most of them are used for trading. In this way, there are only three or five ships that can be used to carry artillery and troops. ”

"Sss Geng Zhongming gasped like a toothache: "What a lot of money." Ninety percent, you are thoughtful, and it is only right to find a way to get some benefits. ”

The general, named Jiucheng, laughed to himself when he heard this: "Everyone is in the same hall as ministers, and we are in such a situation, there is really no way." ”

Geng Zhongming let out a long sigh. He was so sad that he put the enamel jar on the ground: "The southerners are dignified uncles who have been exchanged for Tartar heads, and we lost dogs are not all the way...... Hey, the same palace is a minister, which door is the same palace!? ”

At this time, Kong Youde, who was immersed in eating on the side, finally interjected: "Big brother, in my opinion, his generation is not necessarily a southerner. ”

Geng Zhongming was stunned when he heard this: "Oh, how do you say it? ”

"My brother has dealt with him a lot in the past two days. In my brother's opinion...... That uncle is even if he is a northerner. ”

"Really?"

"Looking at the words and deeds of his henchmen, they are not like southerners."

"It's a novelty. Virtuous, so you might as well get closer to those people, and now we look up to people...... More friends, more ways. ”

"Yes."

While the Liao people were eating and drinking and pondering, Zhang Zhongqi and Sha Zhengming, who were in the captain's room, were also communicating their opinions.

Before that, the Traveler had started in the middle of nowhere, relying on the technology and military capabilities of the times, but whenever they faced the rest of the forces, they were in fact smashed all the way through - first shooting, then shooting, and then absorbing, and no force had ever been able to pass through the hands of the Traveler for three rounds.

However, Kong Youde's generation was different from the other forces he had come into contact with before crossing the forces.

Due to the distance and insufficient force, and the fact that there was still a court in the north, there was no way for the traversers to forcibly absorb this group of warlords.

Therefore, they can only adopt the "coexistence" mode that they are unwilling to and are not familiar with.

This has brought great pressure to Zhang Zhongqi, who is actually operating: the difficult scriptures.

However, on the whole, according to the results of the two days of dealings, the attitude of the various forces in Dengzhou towards the traverser is generally not much different from the pre-assessment.

In this way, Zhang Zhongqi plans to take the next step tentatively: make an appointment with Kong Youde to discuss cooperation.

It's just that in Zhang Zhongqi's opinion, this work is still very difficult after all, and it is difficult to grasp the severity, so he is always worried that it will not be good to handle.
