Do you still need to use bronze to forge cannons? It seems that the famous Napoleonic artillery is bronze......

It's just that people have crossed through the predecessors to do things that move forward, is it not easy for them to cross once, and they still need to learn from their ancestors?

What Ruan Zhi didn't know was that Zhang Yunnai touched the thick-walled cannon in front of him, which was like a thick-walled cannon produced at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and he couldn't accept it for a while. So he stepped forward and tried the way.

"Childe, when will we test the gun, the target ships have been mobilized in place."

Zhang Yun, who finally came back to his senses after hearing this, followed Ruan Zhi's point, but saw a small boat less than five meters long floating on the river less than two hundred meters away from here. A little dumbfounded for a while!

"You're going to test this kind of boat? When are you going to try? Or maybe your skills have reached such an advanced point, otherwise, I am afraid that even if you blow up this cannon, you may not be able to sink that small ship! ”

In the face of Zhang Yun's questioning, Ruan Zhi was also a little bitter. Although he has also received a lot of silver from him in recent years, in order to test those clay molds, iron molds and even sand molds. This money is spent like flowing water!

It's just that this kind of thing is not easy to say, unlike Li Kui, Yang Shiqing and Liu Mingguo, who are idiots, Ruan Zhi knew from the beginning that Zhang Yun was fighting and pulling a backward donkey, so he had to follow him......

"Childe doesn't have to care about the quality of his subordinates' technology or anything, anyway, this artillery is just an experimental product, and there is still a way to go before it is truly finalized and mass-produced. This is not a subordinate who is walking this way now! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yun glanced back at Ruan Zhi in some surprise, and muttered to himself, this kid is a smart person......

"Boom! Boom ......"

There's nothing to say next, anyway, the target ship is already in place, so let's go for it!

During this time, Zhang Yun has been watching coldly, and he has never intervened to stop Ruan Zhi from using the method of ordering gunpowder that he has told him. I just watched as it bombarded the river more than 100 meters away with cannon after cannon. Until the artillery began to turn red, and it no longer dared to fire!

"How many times did you fire just now?" After the artillery stopped firing, Zhang Yun stepped forward.

These words made Ruan Zhi chuckle in his heart, and at the same time that he didn't hit the target ship in the first place, he didn't expect that Zhang Yun was also dissatisfied with his speed.

I want to explain one or two, such as the reason why the gun body is too bulky and the barrel is too long, which makes the charge difficult or something!

But at the moment when he was about to exit, Ruan Zhi thought of something again, forcibly resisted the desire to explain, and just stood there with his head down.

Seeing this, Zhang Yun nodded slightly, and the anger that was originally about to soar into the sky seemed to have dissipated a little. Then he said earnestly.

"It's not that Ben Gongzi is embarrassing you, but there are indeed people who have used this kind of artillery to the extent that they can fire once a minute......"

"Impossible!" Zhang Yun just talked about this kind of artillery, someone can do one shot a minute, even if he keeps telling himself in his heart that he can't jump now, but Ruan Zhi still jumps.

Thinking about the speed at which it only took about three minutes just now, just now, they were all still busy and in a hurry. Ruan Zhi really didn't want to believe Zhang Yun's words.

It's just that after the exit, Ruan Zhigang, who immediately came back to his senses, wanted to make amends, but saw that Zhang Yun was a little absent-minded! I have to do it!

"In this way, no matter how bad this artillery is, you first finalize it, produce one hundred and eighty guns, and then Ben Gongzi will send someone over to learn how to operate the artillery, and make sure that they can do it once a minute, and don't be afraid of wasting money."

Think of the 17th-century English GIs, the kind of people who dared to fight when they met the enemy, and were skilled. With the speed of one shot a minute, the demeanor of the whole world is completely abused. Zhang Yun immediately patted Ruan Zhi's shoulder and said categorically.

And when he heard Zhang Yun say that this was not bad money, Ruan Zhi didn't want to remedy anything, so he hurriedly agreed. I almost patted my chest and said that a hundred guns could be produced tomorrow!

Next, perhaps seeing that Zhang Yun was in a bad mood, and there were indeed many places to consult Zhang Yun about this artillery, Ruan Zhi hurriedly presented a lot of information about this artillery......

……

"Lao He, why is this section of the river not allowed to pass in front? Which yamen ordered them to come and block the river? ”

Just when Zhang Yun blocked the entire fifty-mile river in order to test the artillery. An official ship that went down the river from the upstream was forcibly blocked by a group of bandits......

"Where did you seal the order of the yamen, they are simply water bandits, and the slogan they say is also that there is something to do in front of them, so that everyone can avoid it. If it weren't for the fact that you were on an official ship, maybe you would have been like those boats on the shore at this moment! ”

He Bai, who had just come back from negotiating with the bandits on a small boat, was angry, but unfortunately, it was only a return, but he saw that his master couldn't sit still on the deck, and when he saw this, he didn't care about finding an unlucky ghost to vent his anger, so he could only explain to his master in a low voice. At the same time, he pointed to the boats moored on the river on the left!

"Water bandits, that's going to be fine, right?" As soon as He Bai's housekeeper's voice fell, before He Jun came back to his senses, a girl's somewhat frightened words came from the cabin.

In this regard, the two people on the bow of the boat looked at each other and couldn't laugh or cry. I'm afraid that this little girl has read too many novels, and I think that there are really righteous bandits in this Ming Dynasty!

But even if there are really righteous bandits, he doesn't dare to attack the official ship easily, otherwise once the matter is revealed, the entire Ming Dynasty will have no place for the other party.

This is no joke, and there has been no precedent for this before. Therefore, any bandit with a little brain, he will never dare to attack the official ship openly!

I wanted to think so, but He Jun still comforted him warmly at the window of the boat: "Ru'er don't worry, don't you see that your father is sitting still?" No matter how vicious those bandits are, they won't attack our ships......"

"Boom!"

However, before He Jun finished speaking, a faint loud noise suddenly came from the sky in the distance. I couldn't help but be stunned for a while.

If it is a person with little knowledge, such as those colleagues who have read the books of the sages and sages. I probably can't figure out what caused this loud noise.

But He Jun is different, He Jun, who has a sea boat in his home, has encountered the same sound at sea. So at this moment, the smile on his face froze!

"Master, is this the sound of cannons?" At this time, He Bai also reacted, and hurriedly leaned into He Jun's ear and whispered.

"Hmmm! Looks like there's something big going on ahead! He Jun, who was thinking crooked at the moment, saw that the old housekeeper could also hear it, so he couldn't help but nod and said.
