Chapter 201: Mountain Howitzer (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Chapter 201 Mountain Howitzer (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Ye Yudie was stunned by Liu Chang's words, but she quietly looked behind her twice. ""
Obviously, the cavalry of the guards was very interesting, and they all retreated far away, so as not to disturb her and Liu Chang's good things, her face was slightly red, but she said: "Then next time I have to be below, you ...... above"
This Liu Checkpoint is really the magic star of her life, she never thought that she would have such a happy tortured day, but Liu Chang insisted on letting her sit on it, shaking Liu's waist again and again, the waist was really broken, and she got it three times in the afternoon, and twice in the evening, and finally thought it was finally over, and she wanted her again in the morning.
Liu Chang smiled: "Okay, I'm on it tonight, good lady just enjoy it!" ”
Ye Yudie then said his thoughts: "In my opinion, how can I tie up two people from the important corners of the Feng family in Cixi, let them stabilize the hearts of the people in Ningbo Port, and send more warships to harass the coastal ports, and all merchant ships that refuse to come to Ningbo Port will be confiscated!" ”
Ye Niangzi once wanted to establish a country on the sea, so she also thought about how to solve the trade problem after the establishment of the country: "And to build more warships, it is best to get a few red single boats, fortune boats, rice boats, and go to sea to escort the caravan from Ningbo Port to the sea, although the coast of China cannot go, but Fusang, Luzon, and Annam can go!" ”
Liu Chang felt that Ye Yudie had such an understanding, which was already very rare, but after thinking about it carefully, he knew that her plan would not work, Ningbo Port was so prosperous because he had a vast mainland hinterland market and production area, but all foreign products such as silk, tea, and rhubarb in East China were exported from Ningbo, and Western goods were first imported from Ningbo, and then resold on land.
But Liu Chang will not ignore Ye Niangzi's suggestions because of the limitations of her vision, not to mention that she can also hear Ye Niangzi's voice, that is, to build more warships for her scheduling.
Therefore, Liu Chang smiled: "If you work harder tonight, maybe I will get some silver to build you a few large red single boats?" ”
"A large red single boat? It's true? Ye Yudie was already overjoyed: "This is what you said!" ”
It's just that the next moment, she was already thinking about how to satisfy Liu Chang, could it be that she ate two more eggs from this thief yesterday morning, and she would have to eat that bad thing in her life.
She quickly shook her head and decided to put aside the "good morning bite" that Liu Chang had proposed in the morning, and instead thought of a more constructive way.
……
Although Liu Chang and Ye Yudie were talking about something, Zhou Xiuying could only occasionally hear one or two words, but she was very angry in her heart.
What a vixen, and a little widow who has married someone and died her husband, how can she be worthy of us to inspect a good man!
She enumerated many of Liu Chang's advantages in her heart, she was decisive in killing, never dragged her feet in her work, she was handsome, and she looked like a virgin from afar, all of which she could say with her eyes closed.
And the inspection is well-informed, no matter how difficult the problem is in his hands, it can be easily solved, not to mention his warm side, he can often shed sincere tears, such a heroic character, how can Ye Niangzi, a fox spirit, deserve!
Zhou Xiuying sometimes gets very angry, and even wants to pull out her saber and kill this fox spirit with one sword!
Seeing Ye Yudie's plain clothes, she was still flirting with Liu Chang there, Zhou Xiuying's willow eyebrows were locked, but she still didn't make up her mind to draw a knife.
She can't make up her mind, she's just an ordinary girl, and she doesn't have the ability to kill the vixen with one sword.
It's just that she vaguely heard the words "Ningbo Port", she has already memorized this word in her heart, and when she goes back, she will definitely handle Liu Chang's matter. ..., let the inspector know who really cares about him!
It's just that the next moment, Zhou Xiuying wants to pull out the saber again, which is much more difficult than the duel before the battle, she has grown so big, it is the first time she has encountered this situation, if only she could be as good as the inspection.
It's just that when she was thinking in a daze, the cavalry next to her reminded her: "Battalion commander, the rock village has arrived!" ”
That's right, the front is the rock village, but every time I come back to the rock village, the rock village has an earth-shattering change, the rock village in front of me is very prosperous, people come and go, it is not inferior to the general coastal county.
Xian Na and Duncan and other Hongjun elders had been standing at the gate of the village for a long time, and as soon as they saw Liu Chang appear, Xian Na immediately shouted: "Salute!" Salute to the inspectors! ”
The artillery above the rock village had already begun to welcome Liu Chang's arrival with a roar, and De Mons personally ran in front of Liu Chang's warhorse: "Dear General, I am very much looking forward to Your Excellency's arrival, and our cooperation will become more pleasant because of this!" ”
Now De Mons is still in a suit and leather shoes, but he no longer wears the half-new tuxedo, but changes into a hand-made high-end suit, holding a cane in his hand, indicating that he is a truly successful arms dealer, and he also welcomes Ye Yudie behind him: "Ye Niangzi, I am very happy to meet you!" ”
"Please call me Mrs. Liu!" Ye Niangzi replied to him as soon as possible: "My husband will be happy with you!" ”
"Very good! Very good! De Mons smiled and said, "Of course! ”
It's just that he inevitably has a little embarrassment on his face, Liu Chang was originally introduced to him by Ye Niangzi, but the two of them cooperated happily, and soon skipped Ye Niangzi, the intermediary, to cooperate directly.
Waiting for Liu Chang to get off the horse, he had already introduced the harvest of returning to Shanghai this time: "General Liu, you asked me to sabotage the purchase of Baoshun Wheel in Shanghai, and I have already done it according to your instructions!" ”
This time, he and the representatives of the merchants of the Ningbo North Gang exchanged bargains, and step by step coaxed a very ordinary steam paddle steamer in the Western world to a very unreasonable price, he told Liu Chang: "Now the price of the Baoshun steam merchant ship has reached 135,000 silver yuan, and the Ningbo merchants have also offered a price of 117,000 yuan, and the price will continue to increase in the future, so even if the people of Ningbo can get this steamship, it will be around the seventh month of the Chinese lunar calendar!" ”
"It's going to take at least a month for them to get used to this steamship, and I'm going to continue to cause them more trouble on this steamship!"
Liu Chang nodded again and again, while Ye Niangzi on the side was startled, he knew that Liu Chang's handwriting had always been very large, but he didn't expect Liu Chang to be so big.
A steam warship with a price of more than 100,000 silver yuan, this is a luxury that pirates have never seen before!
You must know that along the coast of China, the plywood sailing ship is the most cherished treasure of the pirates, at most a few lucky boats, millet boats or small red single boats, so in history Ningbo merchants bought such a paddle steam merchant ship as Bao Shunfan, installed a cannon in the front and rear, and then equipped with dozens of rifles on the ship, and became an invincible existence along the coast of China, a voyage can gently sink dozens of pirate ships, rescue 300 robbed merchant ships.
Therefore, Ye Niangzi suddenly felt that her pattern was too small, and her little husband was the real hero in the world!
It's just that De Mons's next words surprised her even more: "As for the steam battleship that I asked me to buy, I have already sent someone to Hong Kong, and I have an eyebrow!" Although the performance is not as good as the Baoshun, and it is not a new ship, it is better because the price is right, and the battle with the Baoshun ship is definitely a lose-lose situation. ”
As soon as she heard this, Ye Niangzi seemed to be tickling in her heart, no wonder this stingy ghost would abandon him alone, it turned out that he had already made arrangements. …,
Ye Niangzi had encountered those steam sailing ships, but as soon as she encountered such a steam merchant ship, she and Ge Wu both turned around and left, never daring to stop longer, so as not to be smashed to pieces by the escort warships of those steam sailing ships.
But Ye Niangzi never thought in her heart that there would be a steam warship in her fleet, pirates are all bitter haha, and it is already precious for them to be able to build a warship that costs hundreds of silver taels.
Xiang Buxing spent a lot of money to build an oversized red single ship, which can be said to be an unprecedented defeat among pirates, and the defeat is so intolerable to them.
You must know that she has thousands of taels of silver in her hand, so why bother to be this pirate, she only knows how to grab Liu Chang's hand now and follow him to the Panshizhai dock.
Liu Chang asked knowingly: "De Mengs, your time to go to Shanghai this time is too far, but you can get field artillery for me, that's not bad!" I'll forgive you this time. ”
According to the rumors that De Mons heard in Shanghai, it seemed that someone had already competed with him for this lucrative and relatively safe business, so he immediately said: "Your Excellency, this time I am in Shanghai mainly because of opium, but I also bring good things!" ”
"What field artillery?"
De Mons immediately reported the artillery he had purchased: "First of all, the twelve-pounder mountain howitzer of the French country, if you know the goods, I believe you will like such a gun!" ”
That's right! When Liu Chang heard that it was a twelve-pounder mountain howitzer from France, he immediately liked it, and he nodded again and again: "Although this cannon has a shorter range, it is also a good gun!" ”
The American-made twelve-pound mountain howitzer can be said to be a big killer in countless novels, and this French twelve-pound mountain howitzer is the original version of the American-made mountain howitzer, which is also light and fast, although the range is slightly weaker, but it is stronger than any kind of field artillery in China, although it is slightly weaker than the main artillery of Western countries, but as long as it is used well, it is definitely an invincible weapon in the hands of the rainbow army.
Therefore, Liu Chang immediately asked: "Okay, how many twelve-pound grenades did you buy this time?" If the quantity is large, I will give you a special price! ”
De Mons immediately reported the figures: "There are twelve mountain howitzers in total, each with two hundred and fifty rounds of grenades and shotguns, and you can make your own solid shells, I am sure you will like such artillery." ”
ps: I'm not in good health, and I've only updated the first chapter until now, I'm sorry, but I'm still asking for a monthly pass
