Chapter 50: The British Mission Arrives

"Sister, will you take Xiaotian back to Beijing this time?" Qian Ruotian pleaded pitifully.

Qian Ruomei wanted to refuse, but suddenly thought about it, maybe she left the Qian family with Xiaotian, and took this opportunity to see if she could rely on Ling Yu, if it did, even if her father took the Qian family to follow the Zhao family to the downfall, at least she and her younger brother could survive, the Qian family still had hope, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt reasonable.

"Hmm... Sister, think about it......" Qian Ruomei said with a pretended gesture.

"Please, sister, I promise to be obedient, and I will do whatever my sister tells me to do." Qian Ruotian hurriedly said.

"Really? Do whatever your sister tells you to do? Qian Ruomei asked with a playful smile, but thought in her heart: "I asked you to follow Ling Yu as a soldier, do you want to go." ”

"Yes, yes, I promise." Qian Ruotian patted his chest and reassured.

"Okay, then my sister agreed, but you can't talk and don't talk, otherwise my sister will send someone to take you home immediately." Qian Ruomei threatened with a smile.

The two sisters and brothers reunited after a long absence, and they talked happily, and on the other side, the battleship Queen that Teucer was riding on was almost past Taizhou Mansion.

On the side of the ship, Traucer faced the sea breeze, looking at the coast of Dazhou, although there was no docking, but vaguely could still see the prosperity of the port of Taizhou Prefecture, Teucer sighed: "Arudo, what a rich country this is, if they were like the Indians, it would be great." ”

"Sir Excellency, this country has a very long history, like India, but unlike the lazy and ignorant Indians, they are vigorous and creative, and you have been doing business with them for so long, you should know how popular their silk, porcelain and tea are shipped back to Europe, and even Her Majesty the Queen is eager to meet them, which is why you have come to meet their Emperor this time." Arudo Road.

"yes, it's a good thing they don't seem to pay much attention to the sea, otherwise I don't know who would be able to defeat them in this vast empire the size of all the countries of Europe combined." Teucer sighed.

"Sir don't worry too much, according to my investigation, our magic is called psionic energy in them, but their combat method is still cold weapons, and they are not developing towards magic technology like us, although it is impossible to conquer them, but it is probably not difficult to get some colonies, needless to say the navy, they don't have it at all." Arudo smiled lightly.

"Hehe, Mr. Captain, we are not here to fight, we have come to trade with the kindness and friendliness of the Queen, what is more lovely than a gold coin? You say yes or no. Teucer laughed.

"Hehe, what Mr. Sir said is not wrong, the commodity profits of Da Zhou are too high." Arudo smiled greedily as he remembered the high prices of silk, porcelain, and tea in Europe.

"Hehe, let's wish the trip all the best, let's go to the captain's room for a drink." Teucer smiled and prepared to pull Arudo on.

"Sir Sir, it's the time of the voyage, and as captain, I can't drink, so trust me in my professional ethics." Arudo laughed and said he was qualified as a captain.

Teucer didn't say much, smiled and went back to the cabin.

The battleship Queen greeted the setting sun and slowly headed north.

"Ling Aiqing, is this the artillery you are talking about?" Zhou Zhengxiong stroked the cold cannon body and asked, this day is the day when Ling Yu and Zhou Zhengxiong agreed to test the cannon, although there were mistakes at the beginning, but fortunately they were all solved, and the emperor did not miss the inspection.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this is the psionic artillery, the effective range is 2 kilometers, the maximum range is 3 kilometers, the gun weighs 1.5 tons, the lower part of the gun body is a gun carriage, there is a gun carriage on it, which can be used to adjust the firing angle of the artillery, the wheels can make the artillery be dragged by several people when necessary, it can move quickly, this model of artillery can shoot 12 catties of projectiles, and it will form ricochets when it smashes into dense crowds, and it can easily harvest dozens of hundreds of lives." Ling Yu led a group of people from the Academy of Sciences and accompanied Zhou Zhengxiong to inspect the artillery.

"Well, then I'll try it out." Zhou Zhengxiong nodded with satisfaction.

After Ling Yu respectfully responded to the order, he ordered people to start moving the artillery, and then loaded, aiming, the gun loading method is similar to that of the rifle, it is all front-loaded, and there is no need to load gunpowder, it is fired through the explosive runes, after Xiaoling's special optimization of the explosive runes used in the artillery, the power of the cannon is much greater, and the cannon body made of the third-level material wrought iron can be comparable to the fourth-level runes, but it is only comparable, not as good as the fourth-level runes, but it is also much more powerful than the rifle.

"Boom, boom" two loud sounds, the two psionic artillery guns have already fired, only to see that the target at 2 kilometers was smashed apart, and the ground was also smashed by the projectile potholes, Zhou Zhengxiong also specially went over to check the target situation, and was extremely satisfied with the performance of the artillery, and immediately ordered Ling Yu and the Academy of Sciences to build artillery equipment troops.

Ling Yu reported the approximate artillery establishment in his heart to Zhou Zhengxiong, and Zhou Zhengxiong agreed on the spot without hesitation, that is, one of the regiments of each division was used to change into an artillery regiment, and each artillery regiment was equipped with 100 such artillery, although the cost of the artillery cost thousands of silver coins, but Zhou Zhengxiong still agreed without hesitation. Grave

Zhou Zhengxiong inspected for a while and left, while Ling Yu ordered everyone in the workshop of the Academy of Sciences to start building artillery according to the current standards of these two artillery, and to build two hundred guns to equip and train troops as soon as possible.

After explaining, Ling Yu returned to his own barracks in the barracks, ready to sort out the artillery-related knowledge he knew, artillery is a relatively professional type of troops, fortunately, there are some in the Xiaoling database, although not much, but after Ling Yu combined with what he knew, he felt that it was enough for the time being.

After a few hours, Ling Yu rubbed his sour wrist, he had compiled all the artillery knowledge he could know now into an artillery drill code, and he was originally going to convene the new army Dao school and select people to form an artillery regiment, but after thinking about it, it seemed that when he trained infantry before, he relied on word of mouth, and did not sort out a drill code.

He simply sat down again, and began to combine what he knew with the experience of training soldiers for a period of time, to compile an infantry drill code, and to distribute it to all units to carry out according to the regulations.

Soon, Ling Yu finished writing, after all, he had practical operation experience, so the writing was much faster.

Ling Yu sent someone to inform Lin Qing and the others, summoned the whole army, and gathered at the school field.

"I called everyone here today to form an artillery regiment, that is, a unit that uses artillery to fight, artillery, is a weapon newly designed by me, which is very powerful, but relatively, the requirements for users are also very high, today I will select people from among you, each division to form an artillery regiment, and I will inform the commanders of each department of the selection method in a while, and you will quickly select here." Ling Yu stood on the platform and said loudly to everyone, and then summoned the heads of all departments above the squad leader, carefully told them the selection method that had been drawn up before, and then let them go down to handle it, and he found a place to rest, and he was a little tired after working.

After a period of selection, the soldiers of the two regiments were finally selected, they belonged to the first division and the second division respectively, but due to the particularity of the artillery, Ling Yu put them together for unified training, in addition to daily training, the soldiers of the two regiments also had to participate in artillery training alone, but now there is no artillery, so they can only issue artillery drill codes for them to familiarize themselves with training in accordance with the drill code, and then live ammunition training when there is artillery.

Of course, Ling Yu did not forget the infantry drill code he had worked so hard to compile, and also sent it to all units to let them act in accordance with the drill code.

After a busy time, it was already dark, about seven or eight o'clock in the evening, Ling Yu had a hasty meal in the cafeteria, listened to the report of Lin Qing and others, and after making sure that there was no problem, he left with his personal guards.

Nothing happened in the next few days, Ling Yu was still as busy as before, although the envoy group of Traucer had already arrived in Songjiang Mansion, but because they already had trade ties with the Qian family, they took care of some things there before leaving for the capital.

On this day, on November 30, the 15th year of Chongwen of the Great Zhou, Traucer and his party finally arrived at the prosperous Jinling City, and the group of Lord Tefigura was an envoy, and brought Arudo and 100 British Army soldiers to Beijing.

Ling Yu had already led the officials of Honglu Temple to wait for their arrival outside the city, Ling Yu was full of insults about this, why did the reception of foreign envoys still have to wait outside the city gate, shouldn't they wait directly in the Li Fan Courtyard of Honglu Temple, which also happened to be the place to arrange their accommodation.

He didn't wait long, and he saw Lord Teke, who was dressed in a decent suit, walking over with a civilization staff in his hand, followed by Qian Ruomei, which made Ling Yu a little surprised.

Qian Ruomei smiled at Ling Yu in a friendly manner, and was about to open her mouth to introduce, but she didn't expect Ling Yu to say in pure English: "Welcome to the East, my friend." ”

This time it was Trake's turn and Qian Ruomei was surprised, Ling Yu actually knew English, of course Ling Yu understood, as a top student majoring in computer science, how could he do it if he didn't speak English well.

"Oh God, I didn't expect that in the far east, in this great empire, I would meet someone who knew English." Teucer sighed.

Ling Yu smiled and said, "Dear Lord Traucer, welcome to the beautiful and rich Eastern Empire Great Zhou, I hope you can have a good memory of this trip." ”

Teucer also smiled, originally thought that it would be difficult to communicate here, but he did not expect to meet an official who was familiar with the West, and he had a hunch that things would be much easier this time: "Thank you, I haven't asked you how to call it?" ”

"Oh, I'm sorry, it's my fault, I'm Ling Yu, Earl of Great Zhou, and this time as the reception officer of your group." Ling Yu smiled and stretched out his right hand to shake hands with Teucer.

Traucer is also familiar with the road, and in their country, it is also a common etiquette.

Qian Ruomei looked at Ling Yu in a daze, she really didn't expect that Ling Yu seemed to know more about the West than her, her beautiful eyes flashed with a strange brilliance, Qian Ruotian, who was hiding in the crowd, looked at her sister curiously, and then looked at Ling Yu, nodded thoughtfully, and pondered.

"Your Excellency, I am Lord Teucer of the British Empire, and it is a pleasure to meet you." Teucer also introduced himself politely.

"Let's not talk here, Lord Traucer, since we have arrived in my Great Zhou, we will do it according to the etiquette of my Great Zhou, and the first time my friend comes is to catch the wind and wash the dust." Ling Yu said with a smile, and then made a gesture of please.

Although Toth didn't understand the meaning of catching the wind and washing the dust, he could still see that Ling Yu was inviting them into the city, and then he took everyone to settle down in the post house of the Domain, and prepared to take them to dinner for a while, that is, to catch the wind and wash the dust.
