"Isn't that normal? If you go and look at the things they sell in Shanxi, aren't they a lot higher than the price of origin? Yuri said, "If you want me to say Brother Amba, this matter is not something that you can say anyway." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoLet's talk to the prince and see what he says. ”

An Ba nodded and said, "Brother, what you said is reasonable, and it is not my turn to take care of this kind of thing." I'm just a talker, just bring the talk. Well, brother, did you bring anything else with you this time besides the cannon? ”

"Fu. Longevity. There's no more ointment, and I still have some cotton cloth on the ship, and I think you should be able to use it too. Among them are two pieces of flower cloth, which I gave to my brother and sister, and a little wine, which I gave to you. You don't have any good game here, if we just have a cup together. Yuri laughed.

……

Relying on the temptation of cannons, although Yuri's last product gave the Manchus a headache for a while, strictly speaking, this seems to be really no wonder. As the old saying goes, "you don't take medicine if you eat good". This Manchurian himself takes drugs and uses them indiscriminately, which doesn't seem to be very good, isn't it? Hauge soon met with Yuri again, and suggested that he would like to see the cannon that Yuri had provided them with.

Yuri took a group of Eight Bannermen to the ship parked in the port of Jinzhou, and the cloth and other things loaded on the ship were almost sold out, and in the bilge, two cannons pressed under the cotton cloth were revealed.

"Doesn't this cannon seem big?" One of the Eight Banners looked at the cannon and said, "I've seen those cannons of Wuzhen Hachao, and they seem to be much bigger than this." ”

"I heard that this cannon doesn't look big, but it's actually more fierce than those cannons in Wuzhen Hachao." Another said.

Leaning on a large winch, the cannon was slowly moved out of the bilge, slowly pulled up to the deck along the inclined gangplank, and then slowly reached the dock. Then he was put on eight horses, and along the road, he slowly drove in the direction of the school yard of Wuzhen Hachao stationed near Jinzhou, and a team of elite Eight Banners cavalry rode horses, holding the hilt of the sword, escorting them on the side.

Wuzhen Hachao's school yard is actually not far from the dock, but these two cannons have been walking for a while. Because there are often wheels that sink into the ground, and they have to be pulled out of stones and wood. However, neither the people driving the horses nor the Eight Banners cavalry escorting them felt that there was anything wrong with this. Even they felt that the road was quite smooth.

The two cannons were "smoothly" sent to the school field of Wuzhen Hachao, where Haoge was already waiting, and Gongshun Wang Kong Youde, one of the important commanders of Wuzhen Hachao, was on the side. At this time, Li Zhong was already waiting there with a group of people. After seeing how the "Dutch" operated the artillery, this time Li Zhong arranged for each artillery group to greatly increase the number of people.

"Mr. Yuri, can we start testing the gun?" Hauge, who was sitting on a makeshift viewing platform, asked Yuri as he stood aside.

"As we have previously agreed, each gun can only fire no more than three shots, and no strong charges can be fired—ah, that is, more than the normal charge. That's fine. Lord Wang, after all, our business has not been negotiated yet, in case you don't want it, I will have to find another buyer for these cannons. It wouldn't be nice if people could see that I was selling a used cannon to others. Yuri said.

Hauge couldn't help but shake his head, this Tessie merchant is really ......

"Kong Youde." Hauge shouted.

"The last general will say hello to the prince, what does the prince command?" Kong Youde hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to listen to the order. Although he is also a prince, his prince and Haoge's prince are not of the same level at all. For this point, Kong Youde still knows in his heart.

"You just put three cannons on each cannon according to the general standard." Hauge said.

"Huh!" Kong Youde hurriedly answered, got up from the ground, hunched back a few steps, retreated to the staircase on the edge of the platform, and then ran off the platform. After getting off the stage, several officers ran over, and Li Zhong said something to them, and they each ran to the side. And Kong Youde himself ran onto the stage again, walked to Haoge in small steps, patted his sleeve, and half-knelt down: "The last general dares to ask the prince to watch the Wuzhen Ha super test gun." ”

Hauge stood up, walked to the railing in front of the platform, held the railing with his hand, and said, "Respectfully to the king, tell me how you have arranged for this king." ”

"Huh!" Kong Youde responded, then walked quickly to Haoge's side, pointed to the distance with his finger and said: "Lord Wang, please see, yesterday we requisitioned the people, and built a wall over there with rattan baskets filled with broken stones and clods. The wall was two zhang high and one zhang thick, and was used to imitate the city wall. According to the king's orders, we fired three shots from each cannon to see what kind of results we could achieve. ”

As he spoke, Kong Youde took out a telescope with a brass tube and handed it to Hauge.

"Lord Wang, it's not that I don't believe in your artillery, it's just that they haven't been exposed to such advanced artillery before." Yuri said, "Please let me go over there and keep an eye on it, lest they get something wrong." ”

Hauge listened and said with a smile: "Yuri, the one who is in charge of the cannon has followed you to Jeju Island of the Dutch to learn." You can't go wrong. ”

"Lord Wang, I know this. But this is a big deal, and if I don't keep an eye on it myself, I won't be sure. Yuri replied.

"If you don't feel at ease, just go over and keep an eye on it." Hauge said, smiling and shaking his head.

Yuri thanked him, and hurriedly got off the stage and ran towards the cannon.

Haug held up his binoculars and saw Yuri looking around the two cannons, dancing and not knowing what to say. Then Li Zhong over there raised a red flag.

"What is this?" Hauge asked.

"Lord Wang, this means that their side is ready, as long as the Lord gives an order, they can open fire!" Kong Youde, who had done it again, replied.

"Then let them shoot." Hauge said.

"The last will be ordered!" Kong Youde hugged his fists, and then glanced at an officer beside him, who immediately waved a red flag.

Then Hauge saw a puff of smoke coming out of the muzzle of the cannon over there, and something faintly being thrown out. It's just that the thing is too fast to see clearly.

After a while, the dull sound of cannon came over, and it sounded like thunder in the sky.

Hauge pointed his telescope at the "city wall", only to see that a basket of rubble that made up the "city wall" suddenly exploded, and the rubble flew around. Then the two baskets that had been piled on top of the gravel also rolled down.

"Not bad!" Hauge said this in his heart.

After a while, the smoke of the gun that had just been fired slowly dispersed, and another shot was fired from there.

"It's not slow." Hauge thought.

This cannon also hit the target, knocking down another piece of the "city wall".

"Bow to the king." Hauge said.

"The last general!" Kong Youde hurriedly replied.

"Your soldiers are fighting well." Hauge said, "How does this cannon compare to the ones you used to use?" ”

"The last general thanks the prince for his praise, the soldiers are all thanks to the prince's blessings." Kong Youde hurriedly said, "This cannon is a little lighter than the cannon used by the last general, but it is obviously more powerful." Look, Lord Wang, it only took two shots to achieve that. Although this wall cannot be compared with the real city wall, it can be fought like this with two cannons, and it is not comparable to those cannons in the hands of the last general. ”

"Can't the general's cannon compare?" Hauge asked.

"Although the general's cannon is bigger than this, it still can't be compared to the power. As for accuracy, it can't compare to this cannon. Kong Youde replied respectfully.

At this time, the artillery team fired another cannon, which hit a basket of rubble at the bottom of the "wall", and as a result, the whole wall collapsed, and at once formed a large slope that could be used for charging.

"That's good!" Hauge said again.

By the time the six shots were finished, the "wall" had almost completely collapsed.

"Bow to the king." Hauge said.

"The last general!" Kong Youde hurriedly bowed his head and saluted.

"Rebuild this wall tonight, and I'll see it tomorrow with our general's cannon." Hauge said.

……

"King Gongshun, what do you think of this Tessie cannon?" Huang Taiji asked with a smile. Recently, his favorite concubine Hai Lanzhu gave birth to a son to him, which made Huang Taiji very happy.

"Your Majesty, this Taixi cannon's cannon is indeed a good cannon, and the minion has never seen such a good cannon. It hits accurately, quickly, and powerfully, and it is really a good cannon. Kong Youde replied.

"Much better than our general's cannon?" Huang Taiji asked.

"It's a lot better." Kong Youde said.

"Good. Obey the king, and go down. Huang Taiji said.

……

When Kong Youde went down, someone immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this cannon is indeed a militaristic weapon, but this cannon is also a little too expensive, just such a cannon, it actually costs more than 10,000 taels of silver." It's also too expensive! Where is this selling goods, this is robbing money! ”

Huang Taiji looked over, and it was Duoduo, the banner owner of the white flag, who spoke. Obviously, the price of 12,000 taels of silver per cannon made him feel unacceptable.

Huang Taiji didn't speak when he heard this, but smiled slightly: "Dolgon, do you think what the old fifteen said makes sense?" ”

Dolgon glanced at Huang Taiji, lowered his head and replied, "It is indeed a little expensive. ”

"Hauge, what did that Tessie man say? Tell a couple of uncles about it. Huang Taiji said.

"The retainer obeyed the will of Emperor Amma, and negotiated the price with the Taixi merchant, and he proposed......" Hauge explained several of Yuri's plans in detail.

"What do you think?" Huang Taiji asked.
