Chapter 163: Life is not easy
This final shaped musket was named Chongzhen Fire Gun by Gao Han, the name originally didn't have much meaning, but he believed that if the emperor who was far away in Beijing heard this name, he should be very happy, and even he decided that once the ten-pounder cannon was developed, this name could also be used, and it was called Chongzhen Cannon.
This kind of trick can be taught to him without being taught, and he doesn't feel ashamed at all.
Speaking of artillery, the five-pounder cannon has been successful in the quiet test of artillery, however, this is only as a technical reserve, Gao Han does not plan to produce this kind of cannon now, a large number of three-pounder guns, in the future in naval battles can be used as a ship gun, developed a ten-pounder gun, in land warfare, can be used as a city artillery, five-pounder guns are not embarrassing or embarrassing, there is really not much need for production.
The development of the 10-pound cannon was a little difficult, but when I learned that the firearms factory was developing the 10-pound gun, the cow manager of the household department went to the firearms factory almost every day, and after half a year, his hair was a little gray, which was urgent, and it was estimated that if the 10-pound cannon had no eyebrows, he would have the heart to jump into the sea.
But this kind of thing is not in a hurry, even if there is a merit of making this cannon to His Majesty the Emperor, Tang Ruowang burst out with all his enthusiasm, it is useless, a lot of calculation work, the manufacturing of various models, these things, all have to come step by step, if not everything is ready, with enough certainty, a ten-pound cannon casting failure, can waste thousands of catties of fine iron.
Gao Han felt that his family's small business was small, and he couldn't bear it. Like Bourne's courage to do it as soon as his eyes are closed, no matter how many pounds or eight pounds he dares to do it directly, speaking of which, it is quite admirable to John Tang. Of course, he wasn't so reckless.
Over there in the mercenary training camp, after a month of hard training, Olivia's mercenary group has gradually taken on some appearance, and the cooperation of the mercenaries has also been present, but here in Haojingao, the security is really good, and even the mountain bandits can't find a few, Gao Han pulled this mercenary out to try their quality, but they couldn't find a partner for the time being, however, Qian Lianghu seemed to have some ideas, and Gao Han planned to wait for him to take the initiative to tell him.
With the emperor's approval, the sign of the Overseas Townsman's Hundred Households in Haojing Ao can actually be hung up, Gao Han found a place, repaired it quietly, and then planned to move out of the Four Seas Restaurant that had stayed for so long and live on his own territory.
He originally planned to do this quietly and forget it, and there was no need to make a big fuss, but on the day he moved out, basically the leading figures of Haojingao, the people in the government, the army, the city, and even the sailor, all came to congratulate him, and a small hundred households yamen seemed to be the reopening of the yamen of the political envoy, which made Gao Han feel a little ostentatious.
Everyone who went out of the Four Seas Restaurant seemed to be very happy, but Boss Li of the restaurant was a little unhappy, Qin Yi's brother-in-law, now he wished that the adults would live here and not leave, and the adults who watched the wind would live in his restaurant, and he spoke a lot louder in Xiangshan.
In the past six months, he has opened a few more industries, and the money he made is even more than what the Four Seas Restaurant made at the beginning, and his brother-in-law's troubles in the officialdom disappeared.
Not to mention, now that the Lord has been promoted again, he has become the pacification of this Jinyi Guard's overseas Zhenfu Division, and the Jinyi Guard who is in charge of the entire Zhenfu Division, it's scary to think about!
"Hey, it's not going to be easy!"
Sighing heavily, he looked back at his deserted restaurant, and the few listless guys, he didn't have any excitement to regain the restaurant.
This is the second time Kong Youde has come to Ho Jing O.
From Dengzhou to Haojingao, it doesn't take much time, but he, a cavalry general, has too many times to be stared at, even if Governor Sun takes a lot of photos, he can't be too ostentatious.
He knew very well in his heart that if Yuan Chonghuan didn't fall, his own Mao Dashuai would not be able to correct his name, and as Mao Dashuai's former confidant, he would definitely not be able to swagger, it was too high-profile, even if others didn't say it, some people would attack him in order to win the favor of Yuan Inspector who was far away in Liaodong.
But, this time, he had to come.
As soon as July passes, it will be August and September, according to the usual practice, the Tartars in Liaodong will definitely be restless again, although Dengzhou is in Shandong, but if you take the waterway, the Tartars' soldiers and horses may really come from here.
Especially last year, Liaodong severely frustrated the Tartars' spirit, and the Tartars vented all their anger on the North Koreans, according to the news over there, the North Korean side has basically been occupied by the Tartars, and Dengzhou is only a few miles away from North Korea.
It's better to keep the enemy out than to let them in.
Dengzhou also has a sailor, very weak, but since the governor took office, the sailor has been purged by the governor, and now it can be regarded as a force that can be used, and the strength of the Guangzhou sailor, the Fujian sailor, and the Shandong sailor is obviously ugly, and the two or three hundred big warships in the sailor are basically invisible.
However, the governor doesn't care about this, the warships that are expected to be two hundred times, in the past two years since he took office, have already accumulated dozens of them, although these small warships alone can't compete with the big warships, but they can't stand him much.
Whether it is patrolling the coast, warning enemy sentinels, or intercepting and fighting with Tartar warships in the future, it can be regarded as a very good force.
The only flaw is that there are too few soldiers who can be planted on these warships, and with the importance of firearms on Sun, the firearms available on these warships are really unavailable.
There are many firearms and they are sharp, and the combat power of this warship is sharp, which even Kong Youde knows clearly.
Therefore, when a friend of Lord Sun wrote to him to tell him that at the Haojingao Firearms Factory, the three-pound Xiyi ship cannon had been successfully tested, and now dozens of them had been produced, Sun Yuanhua did not hesitate to send Kong Youde, who was not very suitable for showing up.
Getting off the boat from the pier, Kong Youde was not as reckless as last time, and went directly to the temporary residence of the Lord who watched the wind - the restaurant he had been to, but when he arrived at the door, he was a little stunned when he saw that the restaurant was full of those inexplicable diners.
However, his subordinates were clever, and after grabbing the shopkeeper of the restaurant and inquiring, he learned that the master of the wind watcher had now gone to the Jinyi Guard Yamen in Haojing Ao.
