Xu Liang carefully looked at the seven so-called "Tianzi No. 135 General" cannons side by side at Sima Qiudao's feet, but saw that the body of these iron cannons was about one meter and a half long, the muzzle width was about ten centimeters, and there were nine hoops on the cannon body, which seemed to be wrapped around them.

Amazingly, the other ordnance in the warehouse was already dusty, but these few cannons were very well maintained, and although they looked a little old, they were spotless, well, there were still two of them covered with dust.

Hong Chengchou asked Xu Liang the doubts in his heart, he pointed to the two dusty iron cannons in the corner of the wall and said, "Why are those two guns like this...... Shabby? ”

Xu Liang also looked at Sima and begged.

Sima Qiudao shrugged innocently and pouted: "Those two are completely scrapped artillery, except that they are useless except for rotting there, I am only interested in these five guns that are not broken." ”

Xu Liang looked at him suspiciously, pointed to the five cannons and said, "You mean to say that the remaining five cannons are all useful?" ”

Sima Qiudao raised his head complacently and said, "That's nature, the artillery maintained by my Sima Qiudao has no reason why it can't be used." ”

When Xu Liang heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and excitedly held Hong Chengchou's arm and said, "Haha, Lord Hong, have you seen it?" God really helps me, with the help of these five cannons, why worry about not being able to take back Pingliang. ”

Hong Chengchou couldn't bear to pour cold water on his head again, "What's the use of just having an iron cannon?" Without matching ammunition, Lord Xu was also overjoyed. ”

"Huh?" Xu Liang choked, and then asked Sima Qiu uneasily, "Then do you still have the ammunition for these generals' cannons?" ”

As if insulted, Sima Qiudao frowned at Hong Chengchou and shouted in an indignant voice: "Since I, Sima Qiudao, have maintained the iron cannon. How can there be any reason not to maintain ammunition! With that, he stepped aside with heavy footsteps, and with great difficulty brought out a large wooden box. put it in front of Hong Shenzheng with a bang, and scared Hong Shenzheng so much that he took two steps back. Without any scruples, he is a high-ranking official from the third grade.

Under the surprised eyes of Xu Liang and others, Sima Qiudao opened the lid of the wooden box with the expression of uncovering the bride's red hijab, and saw that nine iron balls with thick bowls were neatly stacked inside.

Sima Qiudao clapped his hands, and went back to take out a box, this time more carefully, and when he opened it, it was gray and black gunpowder. Leads and things like that.

After Sima Qiudao finished doing this, he glanced at Hong Chengchou as if demonstratively.

Xu Liang was overjoyed, haha even smiled and patted Hong Chengchou, who was smiling bitterly, and couldn't put it down around the two wooden boxes under his feet.

With a slurp in his mouth, Xu Liang waved his hand at the Tsing Yi guards who followed behind him, and shouted: "That's what the official wants, come, move away." ”

The Tsing Yi guards responded and stepped forward to start moving things, and two more Tsing Yi guards ran out to find the carriage and men who carried the cannons.

Xu Liang and Hong Chengchou watched everyone carry it on the side. Xu Liang shouted: "Hey, hey, light." Light, it's all a baby! Then he jumped to his feet and scolded: "What are you doing?!" Handle it with care, and this thing will explode! Do you want this official to die here? ”

Shaanxi participated in politics, Hong Chengchou watched from the sidelines and smiled bitterly.

Sima Qiudao, the deputy envoy of Xicang, hesitated forward at this time, and asked Xu Liangdao: "Dare to ask Lord Xu, what do you want these generals to go to?" ”

Xu Liang looked at the guards who were carrying things, looked at Sima Qiudao, and said happily, "What else can you do?" The thieves of the dog day have occupied the Pingliang Mansion of the official for almost a month, and it is time to return it! The officer is going to bombard their ass with these cannons, haha. ”

Laughing. Xu Liang looked at the tall Sima with appreciation, nodded again and again, and said, "Young man...... Belch. You're nice, young man. "In fact, Xu Liang is the youngest. Now he came to call a person who was older than himself in terms of size, size and age, a young man, and an old-fashioned man.

Sima Qiudao was embarrassed, and said curtly: "Lord Xu praised it falsely. That, although Xia Guan is a deputy envoy of Xicang, he also knows some skills in firing cannons...... My lord, uh, if you don't dislike ......"

"What? Will you fight/shoot? Uh, no, you're going to shoot? Before Sima Qiudao's words fell, Xu Liang rushed over, grabbed Sima Qiudao's hand with both hands, shook sharply and asked, "Really fake?" ”

Sima Qiudao nodded hurriedly and said: "How dare the lower officials deceive Lord Xu, Lord Xu should know that what the lower officials said is true when he sees the craftsmanship of the five great general cannons maintained by the lower officials." ”

Xu Liang nodded again and again. Yes, if you don't know how to use artillery, where would you care about the general's cannon that has been stacked in the warehouse for twenty or thirty years, let alone carefully maintain it.

When Xu Liang thought of this, he was as happy as if he had suddenly picked up a few million on the road, and he smirked.

Sima Qiudao asked anxiously, "Lord Xu, the lower official wants to follow you, are you willing to accept it?" ”

Xu Liang smirked constantly, nodding like a chicken pecking at a grain of rice. The heart is happy, this is really if you want to sleep, someone will send a pillow, before coming to Guyuan, Xu Liang was worried that he would run empty, now it seems that not only the artillery is there, but even the professional and technical personnel who open the cannon have made themselves find it, and even Xu Liang himself secretly admires his luck, which is not ordinarily good.

With Lord Xu's impression in the heart of the Governor of the Three Sides, Wu Zhiwang, asking for someone from his old man, is that still a problem? When Xu Liang took a large group of men and horses to escort the five generals' cannons back to Zhenyuan, Sima Qiudao, the deputy envoy of Xicang in Guyuan Prefecture, suddenly turned into an artillery instructor in the Liang army.

On the way back to Zhenyuan, Xu Liang and Sima Jiaoxi talked while walking. Only then did I know the origin of Sima Qiudao, just as he originally imagined, but all the characters such as Murong, Gongsun, Dongfang, and Sima are not small, and this Sima Qiudao was originally a big character.

Sima Qiudao was originally the second son of the Changfang of the Sima family, a maritime merchant magnate in Guangdong, since he was a child, he liked to make strange people and strange guests, he was very fond of miscellaneous studies, and was quite adventurous, and since he was a child, he followed the family's business to and from Ryukyu, Luzon, Japan, Goryeo and other countries, and was very keen on studying artillery technology, and was very good at the artillery placed on the family ship, and the cannon was extremely accurate, and it was an outlier among the many heirs of the Sima family who only knew how to spend money and enjoy themselves. Because of this, Sima Qiudao and the eldest son of the Sima family have always been at odds, so after the eldest son of the long house took over the position of the head of the family, the second son was tragic, and was borrowed by the new family to excuse himself, driven out of Sima's house, and exiled to the northwest.

Xu Liang really understood that he had really picked up a treasure this time, so professional, and able to read and write, and had been to Ryukyu, Luzon, Japan, Goryeo and other countries many times, the journey experience was very rich, well-informed people, able to cast under his own name, work for himself, think about Xu Liang dreaming to wake up with a smile.

Xu Liang immediately decided, I want to raise the grade, raise the salary, and increase the treatment for Sima classmate, and I must not wronged others! That artillery training position is too shabby, it has to be changed!

Five general cannons were transported into the camp of the Liang army in the original city of Zhenyuan, which immediately attracted many Liang soldiers to watch.

Xu Liang summoned all the generals in the Liang army, and solemnly introduced the new artillery battalion owner of the Liang army, General Sima Qiudao, to Xing Zhongshan, Dai Feng, Wan Wenshan, Luo Baiguan and others in public! It also briefly and not simply introduced the legendary experience of General Sima in maintaining the No. 135 General Cannon of Tianzi, which attracted the amazement of a group of generals of the Liang Army.

At that moment, Xu Liang ordered 1,000 men to be transferred from the Liang army and assigned to the artillery battalion, which was commanded by General Sima Qiudao.

Sima Qiudao is a young man in the end, with a cheeky book, and was praised by General Liang Jun, Ping Liang and Master Xu Liang Xu so ramblingly, his face was red, and he was very embarrassed.

After introducing himself after following Xu Liang's words, the embarrassed General Sima immediately said that he wanted to demonstrate the power of the general's cannon to the generals.

The crowd applauded.

So, everyone came from inside the house to the outside of the school field and dispersed the Liang soldiers who were pointing in front of the five general cannons. General Sima personally selected a large general cannon, drove it to the open field outside the city, loaded the ammunition with the help of two artillery battalion soldiers, adjusted the angle, aimed the muzzle of the gun at a small mound a hundred paces away, lit it, and the lead was ignited with a sneer.

Xu Liang and the other generals of the Liang army stood far away from the cannon, covering their ears tightly, staring nervously at the general cannon.

Seeing that General Sima and the two artillery battalion soldiers were also standing farther away, they covered their ears.

The lead on the cannon body had burned out, and the flames had entered the chamber.

And then...... No then.

The expected rumble, the explosion did not appear, and after the flames entered the barrel, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and the general cannon was silently there, silent.

Xu Liang and the others couldn't help but look at each other in amazement, not understanding what was going on. Sima Qiudao waited for a while, carefully stepped forward to check, ran to Xu Liang sweating profusely, waved his hand and said: "My lord, the gunpowder has been stored for too long, it is a little damp, and it is ...... dumb" (The novel will have more fresh content on the official WeChat platform, and there will be a 100% lottery gift for everyone!)
