In fact, Chu Jing always wanted to say that he was almost ready for a six-pounder cannon.

However, after thinking that the six-pounder cannon was just a four-pounder cannon thickened, Chu Jing fell into confusion again. The four-pounder cannon is already 1,600 catties, and this eight-pounder cannon must have three or four thousand catties, right? Such a bulky guy feels like it's already the limit of the Army, right? Otherwise, running outside with a cannon of tens of thousands of pounds? Then Chen Hanlin must not scold himself to death.

"Eunuch! Come and see this! ”

Chu Jing was pulled to a test site.

"What is this?" Chu Jing is not omniscient and omniscient. Regarding the things about these studies, he was contracted in batches. So this blacksmith's new invention made him curious.

However, after seeing the specific whole picture, Chu Jing was speechless. Isn't this a two-pounder gun with a shortened muzzle? 、

"Two-pounder cannon! I carefully studied the current situation in the army and found that in fact the army played long-range, four-pounder guns were enough. The difficulty is to fight the enemy to the death in close range! That's why I remembered shotguns! But the cannon was too long, and the shotgun couldn't shoot a large area, so I cut off the path of the two-pounder gun, you see! ”

The blacksmith lit the cannon, and in front of him were hundreds of scarecrows.

Chu Jing and a group of onlookers hurriedly covered their ears and ran to the side.

Rumble!!

The firing of a shotgun is quite unreasonable, and those triangular lead that are speeding will kill all those who are shot. Speaking of which, which grandson was responsible for the poisoning of lead bullets, it can be said that it has been a scourge in war for centuries.

Chu Jing got up to check and was surprised to find that most of the scarecrows had been shot over!

But.......

Why is the one facing the muzzle intact?

"Which ....... My lord, a smoothbore cannon is not a rifled gun after all, this is what I talked about in the school! Especially the shotgun, which spills out like a cloud, like a swarm of mosquitoes, who knows where it will shoot........" The craftsman in charge was also embarrassed.

That's where the instability of shotguns comes in. Speaking of which, smoothbore guns are all faulty, but the rifled guns are real grinding goblins, with a slow rate of fire and slow reloading, so they were thrown away after a period of development. According to Chu Jing's words, it is to be temporarily preserved and developed in the future.

The report was quickly sent to the Privy Council.

The Privy Council was then sent to the government hall, and this process took two hours.

Then it was approved. The production of this kind of two-pounder gun with a reduced diameter was increased, and the original longer two-pounder guns were prepared to be sold except for display and operation by recruits.

Sell it? Sell to whom?

Sold to the Kingdom of Aragon and the ****** people, of course!

In these two places, the former is not very proficient in cannon casting technology, and the latter has good craftsmen, but there is no good learning model. So after Yang Yuting proposed to buy a quick place to set up a trading inn, the Kingdom of Aragon and the ****** asked to buy two-pounder guns. Otherwise, they will say - this is not over.

Syracuse, also known as the ancient city of Syra, became the main attraction of the Han kingdom. The reason is, of course, that Sicily's business has been stolen from Catania, a place with great potential, on the eastern side, and that Syracuse is not the best business area. On the other hand, both the Kingdom of Aragon and the ****** were in dire need of a supply of two-pounder guns.

Nobles from Aragon, Sicily, and Neapolitan flocked to Syracuse, and the newly built houses were almost demolished by them! The people of the three parties have to do a good job when they meet! The Neapolitans and the Sicilians are leopards who look down on each other, and the Aragonese are noble and troublesome in Sicily, in short, the feud between the three is quite long.

In short, this is the grievance of the conqueror, the conquered and the conquered, and Yang Yuting is completely out of control. Although he especially wants to join the army, the identity of his father Yang Xiugao determines that he will still have to wander around in diplomacy in the future. After all, he is the eldest son, and no matter how much he likes to dance with knives and sticks, he has to consider inheriting the family business.

Things didn't go very well. The Aragonese wanted to pack up and take the blacksmith with the cannons, but of course the Han people were unwilling, and a group of sons and buddies from Chijing scolded on the table! It also gave Yang Xiugao a headache.

The people were fine, there was no bargaining. However, they said that only five cannons were needed!

, do you want to make it clear that you're going to steal technology? Stir up trouble, huh?

As a result, the Han Chinese, who claimed to be 1,500 hppelen for a cannon, found that their old cannon could not be sold.

Thankfully, Juan II of Aragon had been in trouble lately, so his message was to get things done and bring the cannon back.

But Juan II asked for a hundred cannons! The converted price is 150,000 Happeron! 50,000 ducats! Aragon has a vault that can cover it.

You must know that buying a Principality of Ashiperago is bought at a premium, and no matter how awesome Syracuse is, it is just a city, what can I do?

I can't talk about it here, and Yang Yuting can't hold it back.

"What do you think of the Maltese Islands and the Pelage Islands?" Yang Yuting said suddenly.

For a moment, the face of the nobleman on the opposite side froze.

It's not because they think it's important, it's because they don't ......... I don't know where these islands are.......

After all, how could their Aragonese people, who considered themselves noble, even Barcelona and Valencia to be considered countrymen, know where these islands were.......

It was only when Yang Yuting sent the map that they knew, "Wow, it turns out that the countryside of Sicily is triangular......" "Wow, it turns out that Naples and Sicily are Gigi and Shan ......"

In short, the old two-pounder gun, which even Li Anshi could not look at, was immediately sold to the Aragonese at a discount. They paid the price in Siracusa, Malta and the Pelage Islands.

Later, the Sicilian nobles approached the door, and they finally got together with their old friends, the Neapolitan nobles, and prepared to buy artillery together to fight against the Aragonese.

This is also the that Juan II pulled himself, and he couldn't wipe it off. Obviously, the Tyrrhenian Sea has become your own, and the Western Mediterranean is almost there, why are you still looking at the one-acre and three-point land of Castile......

Although there are ethnic reasons in this, Yang Yuting has to complain, if you engage in oppressive rule yourself, don't blame people for rebelling.

Fifty cannons were sold, and the income was fifty thousand Happeron. However, only 30,000 Happeren actually arrived. According to the instructions of the central government, Yang Yuting negotiated a place with the Sicilian nobles.

He bought a mine.

The name of that mineral...... It's called Tin .......
