Chapter 209: Let You Be Greedy
?? Zhang Qiang did not guess Zheng Chenggong's intentions, treating people with sincerity, this is his purpose of life.
Saying one is one, saying two is two, speaking with strength, so that all Y schemes have nothing to hide.
This is his idea, he is not afraid of Zheng Chenggong's repetition at all, with the increase of his strength, on land, although the attack is insufficient, the defense is more than enough, the Dutch and Portuguese, the Qing army Tartars, and even the combined attack of a large number of Ming coastal pirates have been resolved by him, and he believes in his own strength.
The next day, as always, the preparations were carried out, because they were going to Chichicheng, so the troops were re-boarded, the materials were re-onboarded, and it was more convenient to take the sea route than the land route.
Maybe the 100-mile road will not be completed in half a month, and it may cause the team to suffer losses due to fever, water and soil, etc., so Zhang Qiang chose to take the sea route.
This preparation took one day, and by the time the ship had departed, it was already evening.
In the second half of the night, I landed on the beach with the tide in the sea off Akachisho.
Because Chichicheng is closer to the sea, there is no wharf at the landing place, so barges, boats, and sampans can only be used to transport supplies and soldiers again and again, which is used for Zhang Qiang's preparation.
The floating dock connected by small boats and hollow barrels was used, which was a method used by Zhang Qiang when he thought of attacking the treasure island and remembered the logistics and materials prepared by the British army when he thought of attacking the treasure island in Normandy in World War II.
In this way, the heavy guns could be unloaded from the ship, and then the thousand-pound cannons could be transported to land one by one from a mile or two away in the sea using a floating dock that was connected.
This time, in order to help Zheng Chenggong attack the Dutch, Zhang Qiang brought a lot of newly made 48-pounder cannons, 36-pounder cannons, 32-pounder cannons, 24-pounder cannons, and 18-pounder cannons, all of which were new products from the factory.
Since the use of the iron mold cannon construction method, this kind of cannon has become bigger and bigger, after all, the bigger the cannon, the greater the damage caused, and the farther the distance.
Of course, the caron cannon is probably an S type, it is impossible to be as straight as the general cannon, hit farther, similar to mortars, mainly used to smash the deck of the enemy's ship, the general boat is smashed by the 48-pounder gun, directly smashed, the big ship smashed, directly sunk, but the 48-pounder gun is generally a city defense gun, fortress artillery, and even the 36-pounder gun is used to demolish walls, houses, and enemy ships.
Before coming, Zheng Chenggong said the castle of the Dutch, Zhang Qiang knew that he had to have these guys, he would not use his own lives to add to the enemy's castle, the troops he led were all elite soldiers in land warfare, and there were not many of them, if they fought like Zheng Chenggong, it was estimated that it would be a fiasco.
Early in the morning, all troops had landed.
Zhang Qiang looked at the few generals who followed him, "Xiao Fei, you lead archers, crossbowmen, sword and shield soldiers, for a battalion,"
"Xuanyuan Longfei, you lead spearmen, axe soldiers, sword and shield soldiers, for the second battalion,"
"Tang Dianfeng, you manage the militia and the captive soldiers, and set up our camp as soon as possible, you are the third battalion,"
"Zhao Siyang, you manage all the artillery ashore, as an artillery battalion, obey my orders."
"Tsar, you lead the cavalry, for the cavalry battalion, immediately unfurling, to reconnoiter the surrounding terrain and the enemy's situation, as well as the deployment of our friendly troops, as well as the surrounding islands, I hope that at noon, your cavalry battalion can give me a copy of the information I need."
"I am personally in charge of the musket battalion, the personal guard cavalry battalion, for the Chinese army, Tang Dianfeng, your three battalions are with the Chinese army, and the camp guards are handed over to you."
"Yes, my lord." The people took the command and departed.
At this time, Liu Guoxuan and Yu Xing came to Zhang Qiang's side together, and they were followed by Zheng Tai, the leading general who surrounded Chiji City here.
In the curling morning mist, the cannons piled up on the shore were like terrifying statues, making Zheng Chenggong's future people who had seen this scene clearly take a breath of cold air.
They were pirates, they were maritime merchants, they were sailors who ate by the sea, they drove ships against the enemy, their main weapons for food were cannons, and the swords in their hands, and they knew more about cannons and muskets than the people on the mainland.
Previously, Zhang Qiang did not let people unload these cannons in Gelanza City, after all, the time was still short, Zhang Qiang wanted to figure out the situation, discussed it with Zheng Chenggong, and then unloaded the ship, but he didn't expect to get the Red Embedded City to unload the ship and fight.
"What a big cannon, so many cannons, at first glance it is much better than ours, and the Governor is really powerful." Yu Xing opened his mouth wide and let out a compliment from his heart.
"My lord, you didn't say anything about this cannon before?" Zheng Tai and Zhang Qiang have had a lot of contact and have met a few times, so they talk more casually, and besides, where are the qualifications, when he and Zheng Zhilong were across the sea, Zhang Qiang didn't know where to play in the mud.
Liu Guoxuan's eyes were also wide, and he was surprised that he didn't know how to comment, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence, "My lord, why didn't you sell us these cannons before?" ”
"Hehe," Zhang Qiang smiled and said nothing, the US imperialists know that they use their most advanced weapons by themselves, and they rarely use them, and they will not sell them to their allies until the next generation comes out, even if they are sold to allies, they are also emasculated things, how can he sell his latest and most powerful cannon to Zheng Chenggong and them?
Although the muskets he sold to Zheng Chenggong were new, they had also had their barrels cut off, so that the bullets they fired were one or twenty meters closer than those fired by Zhang Qiang's army, which was equivalent to the data of the guns made by the Portuguese themselves.
As for the artillery, Zhang Qiang sold to Zheng Chenggong to capture the Qing army and the Ming army, and captured the Portuguese and Dutch artillery, all of which were old cannons with worn breeches.
Maybe these cannons have not been fired in one shot, maybe these cannons have fired dozens of shells, maybe hundreds of shells, and the quality is extremely unstable, anyway, the price is not high, Zhang Qiang should dispose of the waste.
This income made Zhang Qiang earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
Two-thirds of his financial income comes from this aspect, because Zhejiang really has no industry worth taking out, and he is not another traverser, he can make glass, make some luxury goods, and all kinds of things can be made, but he is a part-time worker, with a low level of education, and he can't make too advanced things.
If he hadn't captured François and Sebastian, maybe his guns and cannons would have been captured and bought, and if he hadn't had these things to sell, his Jinhua Righteous Army would have financial problems, the grain production was not much, the number of people was increasing, and the army had to eat and be paid, which were all big expenses.
"48-pounder cannons, I brought four this time, one counterfeit 30,000 taels of silver, 1,200 meters of S distance, 550 meters of effective S distance, you can demolish a mansion, which is specially used to demolish the city wall."
"36-pounder cannons, six, one cost 26,000 taels of silver, S 1,500 meters away, effective S 630 meters away, and 48-pounder cannons, used to demolish houses, tear down the enemy's city walls, of course, can also be loaded on large ships, used to fight enemy ships, but it should be noted that ordinary ships, even large ships, need to be reinforced decks, otherwise a cannon can shatter the ship, so this kind of cannon can only be installed in the bow or stern of a large ship, a large ship can only be loaded with two, and when firing, it must be fired in turn, the interval between S-shots is best five minutes. ”
"32-pounder cannons, eight guns, dismantled from the ship, S 1,800 meters, effective S 7880 meters, mainly used for naval battles, large ships can be loaded, but also the bow and stern, must be specially reinforced hull, but it is recommended to fire at 300 meters close to the enemy during naval battles, one cannon at least seriously injures the enemy, one cannon in three minutes, the cost of 18,000 taels of silver."
"18-pounder guns, twelve, this you should have seen on the walls of the Dutch, or on ships, large warships generally use this, put it in the bottom compartment, S range is 2,500 meters away, effective S range is 900 meters to 1,100 meters away, special for naval battles, naval battles are generally fired at a distance of 500 meters, the hit rate is not high, the time to send S, about one and a half shots. The cost is 12,000 taels of silver. ”
"12-pounder cannon, twenty-four, this is often seen, and the Hongyi cannon, a thousand pounds of weight, is the main firepower output of the Dutch, Portuguese cannons, but small warships, or armed merchant ships are generally rare, generally Tessie medium warships, about the third class battleship, or the main artillery on the fourth class battleship, S range 1,500 meters away, effective S range 700 meters, generally fire at 300 meters away, 500 meters can also hit, but the hit rate is extremely low, the cost, 8,000 taels of silver."
Zhang Qiang proudly introduced his artillery to Liu Guoxuan and them.
"Good things, good things, it's just a little more expensive." Yu Xing opened his mouth wide and craned his neck to look at the cannons that the Jinhua Rebels were fiddling with.
"With this sharp weapon, the red embedded city can be broken." Liu Guoxuan immediately thought of the siege.
"My lord, is this cannon for sale?" Zheng Tai wanted to get such artillery.
"Good boy, with such a thick barrel, it is estimated that it can sleep two people in it." One who followed Liu Guoxuan and they came to the future looked at the cannon and said in surprise.
And another general looked at the musket that was carrying a long Jinhua Righteous Army, "The gun is also a good gun, better than ours." ”
Zhang Qiang ignored their surprise and words, and said to Liu Guoxuan and Zheng Tai: "Let's go to your camp and discuss when to attack the city." ”
He just doesn't discuss these cannons and weapons with them, and making others covet them is what he should do as a traverser.
