It's not so easy to want a battleship for a big guy and a foreign devil.

Now that the British flagship has entered a lot of water and is beginning to tilt, Guo Ye has sent out more than a dozen ships one after another, sent people over, and tied thick cables to the battleship, there are no large ships at Dagukou, and can only be towed by some civilian ships, even so, it is not easy for more than a dozen civilian ships to tow the battleship to the beach.

Fortunately, there was no shortage of horses at Dagukou at this time, and Seng Lingqin also brought a horse team and used all the war horses, and one dragged the battleship to the beach in the early morning of the next day.

When everyone boarded the battleship, they saw that the battleship was in a mess, and it exploded violently, and the battleship had been blown to pieces, even if it wanted to be repaired, it was impossible, after all, China now does not have such excellent industrial technology, and there are no excellent technicians.

Guo Ye said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, there are still many firearms left by the British army on this battleship, and there are not a few foreign guns, foreign cannons and ammunition, these are all very useful......

Monk Greenqin understands what Guo Ye means, this is to quickly clean up all the weapons that can be used, for his own use, Monk Greenqin is a veteran for many years, he is no stranger to Western weapons, he knows the power of his firearms, don't care about anything else, quickly pack it up, as for how to use it, let's talk about it later.

Monk Lingqin shouted: "He Zhengqing, immediately order someone to sort out all the items on the battleship and register them all!" ”

He Zhengqing hurriedly agreed, and the commander went to tidy up the battleship first, and Guo Ye on the side shouted: "Big brother, pay attention, tell the brothers to be careful, don't damage the guns, and keep all the ammunition properly......

When Monk Greenqin and Guo Ye were talking, He Zhengqing hurriedly ran over again and shouted, "Lord, Lord, great joy!" ”

Monk Lingqin's spirit was shocked, and he asked, "He Zhengqing, what kind of joy?" ”

He Zhengqing said with a smile: "Lord Wang, we found a total of more than 900 guns on the battleship, including three boxes of new guns that have not been opened, a total of 360 guns, all of which are good guns used by foreigners!" ”

Monk Greenqin was overjoyed, more than 900 branches, then he could directly arm two battalions, once he had two battalions of elite troops, the combat power of his own troops would increase greatly!

He Zhengqing continued: "Not only guns, we also sorted out a total of more than 70 boxes, not to contain 2,000 bullets, this is more than 100,000 rounds of bullets!" I'm obedient, our entire Dagu mouth only has less than 50,000 bullets! We've made a fortune! ”

Monk Lingqin laughed and said, "Good, good! The harvest is not small, this war is worth it, this is a masterpiece of the world! ”

It is an exaggeration to say that it is a masterpiece of the world, but since the Opium War, the imperial court has repeatedly clashed with the great powers, and has never had the upper hand, and has been defeated repeatedly, although this battle has broken a commander and a lieutenant general, but it has sunk five warships of the other side, and at the same time captured the flagship of the other side, which is definitely a big victory, not to mention that it has killed and captured hundreds of people on the other side, and captured so many guns and ammunition?

Guo Ye on the side said with a smile: "Lord Wang, not only are there guns here, we are in the South Fort, and we have captured, so if we calculate it, I am afraid that the guns that can be used normally that we have captured will not be less than 1,300, and the ammunition of the 500 foreign soldiers will be retracted, I am afraid that there are still tens of thousands of bullets on the body, this is really a windfall, by the way, big brother, how about the artillery on the battleship?" ”

This is the point, just now Guo Ye has hastily inspected the battleship, although the damage is serious, but it is not impossible to repair it, if the damage to the artillery is not too serious, then it can definitely restore the battleship to combat strength in the future!

He Zhengqing shook his head helplessly, and replied: "Don't think about artillery, this flagship is equipped with eight guns, but now only one is well preserved, the flagship has been refired more than ten rounds in the war, and the other artillery pieces have been damaged, but there are still a lot of shells, there are hundreds of rounds!" ”

Guo Ye was a little disappointed, if this flagship was really repaired, it would be of great help to the coastal defense of Jinmen, but unfortunately, it was a bubble, without these eight artillery, it would mean that the tiger would have no minions, even a wolf, and he could also be eaten.

However, people can't be too greedy, and this is already a big victory.

The monk on the side, Lingqin, saw Guo Ye asking about the artillery and asked, "What, Guo Ye, what do you think?" ”

Guo Ye hurriedly replied: "Lord Wang, if the artillery on the battleship is not damaged, we can directly choose to repair the battleship and restore its combat strength, in that way, we have a world-class battleship, and the help for our coastal defense is undoubtedly very great, but now that the artillery is all damaged, it is too difficult to repair it......

Monk Greenqin raised his eyebrows and asked, "Guo Ye, can this battleship really play such a big role?" ”

Guo Ye replied: "Lord Wang, the biggest role is that he can patrol on the sea?" Once the enemy situation is discovered, it can notify our coastal defense as soon as possible to prepare for war, and it itself has eight artillery pieces, such firepower is enough to top our two artillery battalions, especially the foreigners' artillery, the range is long, the power is great, and the trajectory is also accurate, and the combat power is far above the artillery of our Great Qing Dynasty......"

Monk Grinqin asked, "Then why can't we fix it now?" ”

Guo Ye said with a wry smile: "It's not impossible to repair, but the cost is extremely huge, the battleship is repaired, and then plus seven cannons, as well as enough shells, there is no 200,000 taels of silver, there is no hope at all, and we need foreigners to provide technology to repair the battleship, we don't have such talents in China, in this case, I'm afraid that more than 100,000 taels of silver will be added, and besides, a battleship needs to be equipped with a certain number of small ships to assist in order to play the greatest role, This requires hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and we also need one or two thousand elite sailors stationed on the warships, and the annual patrol and training funds are no longer a few......"

Countless black lines suddenly appeared on Monk Greenqin's forehead, what a special thing, let Guo Ye add left and right like this, I am afraid that it is possible to spend a million taels of silver, where can Lao Tzu go to exchange for one million taels of silver? It's a dream, and now the empty treasury can run away!

Monk Lingqin said angrily: "You have directly created a problem for this king like this, I'm afraid there won't be a million taels, right?" Where am I going to get it for you? You're just dreaming! Let's think about something practical! ”

Hey......

Guo Ye laughed awkwardly.
