Chapter 193: Foreigner Jason

After the sailor over there took off the headscarf on his head, he saw that this was a white man - in fact, he was very tanned, and he had been lying on the side just now, wearing the clothes of the sailors of the Xia family.

In this way, who can still see that he is a foreigner, this person is now full of beards, sloppy, it seems that he also knows a few words of Chinese, maybe he understands that Jiang Feng, who is dressed in the most magnificent way in front of him and is the center of the crowd, is his future master, and hurriedly rubbed his eyes, and walked forward to bow and say hello,

Unexpectedly, at this time, Jiang Feng suddenly remembered some online texts he had read in modern times, and asked tentatively:

"You can't be called Duncan, are you?"

This mindless remark made the foreigner who was about to salute stunned for a moment, reacted, shook his head and said in denial:

"Dear Sir, my name is Jason. Hogan ......"

Jiang Feng smiled awkwardly there, it seems that there are not so many coincidences in the world, but when I heard this person speak Chinese, although it obviously sounded like his tongue was very stiff. This made Jiang Feng quite uncomfortable, in modern terms, there is no way to be a person if you don't know a foreign language, although you may not be able to use this foreign language you learn for the rest of your life. Therefore, all foreigners came with pride, and the Chinese people had to translate for them in a low voice.

At this time, in Asia, as long as they are begging for a living on the sea, it is difficult to move an inch if they don't know Chinese, because at this time, the biggest power on the sea is still those maritime merchants along the coast of China, and these maritime merchants are at most a gentry when they are on the shore, but on the sea, many daimyo of Japan and most of the earth kings of the South Seas are not as powerful as these people.

At present, the center of gravity of Europe is still tilted towards the Americas, so it is these rich private merchants who roam the seas, and of course, sometimes they also appear as pirates.

Since the most important voice on the Asian sea is Chinese, then as long as the people here are mixed in the sea, they have to learn a few words, of course, the same is true for these Europeans on the warship, if Jiang Feng sees the missionaries in Beijing, I am afraid he will be even more surprised, because those missionaries are already fluent in Mandarin, and the grammar is much stronger than Jiang Feng's old and rough man.

Xia Wu thought that Jiang Feng was quite surprised that this Jason could speak Chinese, and said proudly there:

"Lord Jiang wants to use people, this ghost won't know how to do our Daming's words, these days, our Xia family has found a translator to teach him every day, plus he just understands something, and he actually says it almost."

Jiang Feng smiled, the reason why he found an artillery division was mainly because he was worried that the soldiers under his own command of the advanced artillery might not be able to control it illegally, so he needed to find a knowledgeable person to teach, and after teaching, he would naturally give him a suitable remuneration and leave, which was not too important a person.

The key question is whether it can be imitated and form its own power, at this time, which old craftsmen are almost discussed, and one of them followed Jiang Feng and said:

"Master Jiang, this cannon barrel is much longer than our Ming artillery, and the fire door is also different."

"Those don't matter now, can you put these two cannons on wheels so that the horse can pull them?"

Before waiting for the old craftsmen to answer, Jason on the side interjected:

"My lord, this cannon is used at sea, it is too heavy to be used on land at all."

Xia Wu over there was proudly showing off, and when he suddenly heard this, his face suddenly ripped off, and he scolded there:

"Straight lady thief, don't talk nonsense, it's heavy, just use horse-pulling."

The foreigner who called himself Jason sneered, looking at that, he may not be able to hear the words of the straight lady thief clearly, but he still understands it with Mara, it can be seen that his Chinese level is already above level six, shrugged his shoulders there, and said:

"Four horses are running on the road with a wagon pulling a cannon, and I don't know how many more pieces they can run after the wheels sink in!"

There are some words in this sentence that no one can understand, and it is obvious that it is the language of their country. Xia Wu over there was already a red face, and the words just now already made him feel embarrassed, thinking to himself when you got on the boat, why didn't you say this, isn't it the face of our Xia family to say this now?

However, Jiang Feng over there looked at the cannon body, it was indeed the same as what several old craftsmen around him said, the cannon barrel was much longer, of course, this was also an adjustment for the range and power, Jiang Feng also noticed another problem, that is, several masters did not say anything about the problem of the cannon barrel.

But the barrels of these two cannons are indeed about the same thickness as the cannons cast by the Ming Dynasty himself, and the old craftsmen may think that this is a normal situation, and they don't even mention it, but the reason why Jiang Feng is so keen to buy cannons from Westerners, and he does not hesitate to be the wronged leader, is that he knows that the artillery at this time is already far from Europe, whether it is the lightness of the cannon or the firepower.

He originally thought that the ship cannon he bought should be the kind of cannon with iron wheels, which could move quickly on the battlefield, but after seeing these two guns, Jiang Feng didn't know that this was the so-called three-pounder gun, which belonged to light artillery. I finally knew I was wrong.

"Can you put on an iron wheel and walk on the road?"

When several old craftsmen heard this question, they all shook their heads, they also knew that Jiang Feng's temper was more kind to the craftsmen, and the answer was also direct:

"If it's on the official road, it may not be impossible to put it on the carriage, it's about six or seven hundred catties, but master, it will take dozens of people to place this cannon at that time, and it won't be able to be placed in a while and a half."

Jiang Feng sighed, it seems that it really can't work, there is a craftsman interface on the side and says:

"I think this should be put on the port, put a cannon on the high place on both sides, and then the whole port will be choked, no matter who wants to attack here, it will be bombarded by this cannon."

Speaking of this, Jiang Feng remembered that the foreigner on the side should have some research on artillery, and his identity was not that of a gunner, so he suppressed his depressed mood and asked there:

"Mr. Jason, do you have any suggestions for this?"

No one expected that Jason shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, and said leisurely there:

"My lord, I'm very sorry, but I'm not an artilleryman!"
