Chapter 57: Why Are You Coming?
It can be seen with the naked eye that only two rockets hit the city wall, one did not even cross the moat, and the other only just hit the moat and did not touch the city wall. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
That's right, the rocketeers and the navy are going to shout in unison.
Captain Guo Beyu also nodded in approval, three hundred meters away, fifty percent of the target rate, Wang Defa's family will be quite satisfied when he sees it.
In fact, they just tried to lower the angle as much as possible, hoping not to cross the city wall and hit the people's homes------
The two rockets that hit the city wall, although their warheads were only loaded with one kilogram of engineering explosives, although they only exploded on the surface of the city wall, but they easily blew up the outer bricks on the city wall, and the rammed earth inside also collapsed!
The people of this era, even if they are the proud cowardly Xue Jun of the Tatars, will probably not be able to withstand such a close explosion!
To them, it was far beyond the thunder of heaven------ in fact, the most seriously injured of them was only the splinters of bricks that broke the skin, but the fear of not understanding could not be suppressed.
The Tatar military attache took the lead in running down the city wall, jumped on their horses with his two retinues, and ran directly towards the back gate!
The fierceness of the Tatars was only manifested after they had won the war, but as long as the situation was not good, they were the best at retreating.
Even their so-called most clever tactic, "Mangu Gang", is just to run away and shoot arrows while turning around, until they weaken the pursuing opponent------ how to look at how to reveal a sense of evil energy!
When the smoke cleared, Captain Guo Beyu observed it with a telescope and found that there was no one on the city wall!
He wasn't sure if the Tatars were lying in ambush behind the Daughter's Wall, and if they would suddenly exert their strength when they got forward.
He suspended the rocketeers' attempts to launch a round, which was quite expensive, almost equal to the price of four horses.
This price was what Captain Habia said when he saw their training rocket, and to be honest, he was terrified when he saw it, if it wasn't for the rocket exploding in the distance, he would have turned around and ran!
At that time, Captain Bao Wei asked him through an interpreter, how many of your An'an horses and Arabian horses are worth such one?!
This was actually a bit of a joke, but Captain Habia replied very seriously: "You can change two telescopes, three for fire, and four for rockets!" ”
Captain Bao Wei shook his head at that time, thinking, we can use clay to burn porcelain, silk to weave silk, cotton and linen produced in the land to weave canvas, and spices such as chili noodles and pepper noodles and pepper noodles to exchange for cavalry with men and horses, so why use munitions?!
Although Captain Habia did not understand the language of Captain Bowe now, he could read his expression, and he shook his head and thought that even he could not accept this price.
However, what they didn't expect later was that the price that was originally good, and both sides felt fair when they exchanged it, but the Great Song Dynasty government also joined in in the name of the official!
At once, they sent a huge amount of porcelain and silk and cotton and linen to India and even Egypt!
Of course, the so-called Tianliang means that they have more traditional goods than the island and other maritime merchants combined.
At the same time, they also exchanged for war horses and buffaloes, and they also asked for wood vinegar from Liuqiu Island, and they also knew how to disinfect with quicklime!
This time it was broken, the value of traditional goods overseas was depreciated, and the business of exchanging a good porcelain bowl for a buffalo was smashed.
At the beginning of the Great Song Dynasty, a cow was only five guan money, and then it rose to ten guan money, and then it was twenty-five guan money, and after the southern crossing, because the Great Song Dynasty often implemented a relatively loose monetary policy, the price of the cow has now risen to one hundred guan money.
It is true that the owner of Zhang Guoan Island is engaged in the breeding of buffalo and cattle in the Ryukyu Kingdom and Jeju Island, and now it is just enough to meet the cultivation and consumption of the island, and the cow dairy industry has not yet developed------ of course, the people of the Great Song Dynasty prefer to drink goat's milk.
At that time, the Great Song Dynasty had not officially started to export buffaloes, and as a result, I don't know how the Great Song Dynasty government engaged in official and commercial behavior!
At that time, it was no longer a question of being able to exchange a few bowls for a buffalo or a few silk horses for a war horse, but basically let the Great Song Dynasty government exchange it!
This can make Zhang Guoan Island owner angry, it must be Jia Laogou's idea, he is disrupting the social market!
But this is also understandable, Da Song is really short of cattle.
Buffaloes were not allowed to cross the border between counties, and if the cattle died, it was stipulated that the total value of the beef sold and the goods sold could not exceed the market price of the live cattle, and special people were sent to watch the sale.
They are afraid to kill cattle to sell meat!
At that time, the owner of Zhang Guoan Island immediately called Wang Zheng and Xiao Er and said: "You are already familiar with the trade route to Egypt, take another bold step, go to a place, you can exchange a coarse porcelain bowl for two cows!" ”
This place is the west coast of the island of Madagascar!
"It's also the land of buffalo------ but don't let the Great Song government know!"
Wang Zheng and Xiao Er were very happy, and they said, "What if the Lu family follows us shamelessly? ”
"Then take it with you, and tell them not to talk nonsense!"
"Absolutely not! They are also extremely indignant at the fact that the Great Song Dynasty is doing business like this and taking profits from the people! ”
Of course, these are all in a few months, and there is no rush to bring it up now.
Rockets are worth a lot, so Captain Guo Beyu waved his hand to let people launch a green signal rocket to let the city respond!
The green rockets were filled with copper oxide----- and those insiders couldn't hold it anymore, they rushed up the city wall with fire cap-type firearms, and there was really no one left------ they waved their hands at the city, shouting that they were safe!
Then they ran down the walls, opened the gates, and lowered the drawbridge.
Captain Guo Beyu led the team members into the city.
At this time, everyone immediately rushed to the treasury everywhere according to the division of labor and began to move in an orderly manner.
The governor of Binzhou City had already run away with his family in a carriage, and they didn't chase it, but their other family assets were about to be confiscated.
Captain Guo Beyu led several captains to take a break in the Zhizhou Yamen, and they put down a map of the neighborhood on the desk, discussing their next move.
At this time, a local merchant secretly asked to see him.
No one thought that this big businessman would speak: "Righteous army, why are you here?!" ”
Captain Guo Beyu was in a trance for a moment, his eyebrows jumped, and he said, "Why do you say that?" ”
The man, who claimed to be surnamed Zhou, said: "The rebels have done all the good things on Liuqiu Island and the Shandong Peninsula, and I have heard about it for a long time, so I have the opportunity to take refuge in ------ today."
Captain Guo Beyu didn't understand, and said: "If you want to take refuge, a sea boat is enough, in fact, you can walk and walk, how can you say that you have a chance?!" ”
"The young general doesn't know anything, his family is big, and he can move his whole body with one hair, so it's better to go with the general and be prepared!"
Captain Guo Beyu seemed to understand, and said: "Okay, you go and prepare, we won't occupy it for long------ besides, you are responsible for asking other people, and if you want to go, follow along." ”
In fact, they are willing to follow along.
The reason is very simple, they have snatched away all this year's taxes, and this loss will be made up for by them!
It's better to escape! (To be continued.) )
