Chapter 547: Qiantang Test Cannon

Duan Fei was surprised: "She likes me? How is this possible......"

Shi Bin smiled bitterly: "That's right, we haven't dared to tell Fei Ge about you, but there seems to be some changes recently, Li Yuying asked Ah Wei a lot, thinking that Ah Wei felt that Ah Wei was good after ignoring her, but Ah Wei was hit and refused to see Li Yuying, if Fei Ge you make it clear to Miss Li, and then convince Ah Wei, maybe there is still hope for their affairs." ”

Duan Fei said angrily: "You should have told me about this earlier, now that the two of you are not by my side, how can you tell me to persuade them?" Do you go all the way to write letters to persuade you? It's been a few times back and forth! ”

Shi Bin didn't dare to say anything more, Duan Fei thought all the way, and didn't know how to tell Li Yuying that Hangzhou was approaching, but he came up with a trick for him, or write a letter to let Su Rong have a headache.

Entering Hangzhou City like this, Duan Fei found Shao Shijie, the prefect of Hangzhou, and said to him: "Lord Shao, the official will leave Hangzhou tonight if he is injured, but it will create the illusion that the official is still in Hangzhou, and Lord Shao needs to cooperate."

Shao Shijie exclaimed: "Didn't the adults say that they would personally sit in Hangzhou?" Why do you want to leave? ”

Duan Fei said: "The purpose of this official is to create many false illusions of truth and falsehood, so that Zong Shi and his subordinates are at a loss for what to do, until finally this official stuffs him with a seemingly conclusive news, and then he will definitely be fooled, and lead the crowd to throw himself into the net, but he can annihilate this group of robbers in one fell swoop." ”

Shao Shijie said: "Since the adults have made up their minds, the lower officials should obey it and strictly cover up the news that the adults have left Hangzhou." ”

Duan Fei smiled and said, "That's very good, Lord Shao, is there any more secluded place near Hangzhou?" The officer was going to try the new cannon there. ”

Shao Shijie said: "There are people living near Hangzhou, if you want to test the gun, it is better to go to the edge of the West Lake and put it in the lake." ”

Duan Fei shook his head and said: "Forget it, the official will find a place to test the cannon by himself, Lord Shao, not only the official will leave tonight, but the three thousand brocade guards will also quietly withdraw, to cover up the departure of so many people, your task is not light, go and prepare as soon as possible." ”

Shao Shijie wanted to speak and stopped, then said goodbye and left, Duan Fei rested for an afternoon, and after gathering everyone for dinner, Duan Fei ordered at the dinner table: "Abin, you and Hong Bang and Jiang Jun stay in Hangzhou temporarily, everyone knows that you have been following me, you can help Lord Shao hide my whereabouts if you stay in Hangzhou, if it's okay, you can go to the mansion to see, is there anything you can help?" Maybe you can recommend yourself and stay in Hangzhou. ”

Shi Bin said, "Brother Fei, what is your plan?" Tell us a lot of help. ”

Duan Fei spread his hands and said: "My plan is to improvise, the general idea is to lure Zong Shi to Hangzhou, trap him in the narrow mouth of the gourd in Hangzhou Bay, whether he is captured alive or completely annihilated, it is a perfect result, but the plan is just a plan, it is difficult to say whether Zong Shi listens to my command or not, I can only take one step at a time." ”

Shi Bin and the others looked at each other, and Duan Fei said: "Your task is to stay in Hangzhou for three days, and then disappear collectively, and then I may have an order to come, if the news of the sect has the insight I expected, then the complete layout can be determined after three or five days." ”

Shi Bin and the others nodded, and Duan Fei said: "Wang Zuo and Wang Ping will leave with me, take away five hundred people, everyone try to be as secretive as possible, change into plain clothes, and don't bring embroidered spring knives. ”

Duan Fei continued to arrange the plan for Jinyiwei to gradually evacuate Hangzhou, and after three days, Jinyiwei would all leave Hangzhou and go to Shaoxing, Yuyao, Ningbo, or reinforce Songjiang and Shanghai.

After arranging it, Duan Fei took people to leave Qincha Xingyuan in plain clothes one after another, someone around had investigated in advance, everyone avoided suspicious eyeliners, outside the northern city of Hangzhou, five hundred brocade guards gathered, and the two carriages carrying large boxes also quietly arrived, Duan Fei gave an order, and everyone lined up and quietly went south.

It didn't take long for the Qiantang River to appear in front of Duan Fei, the Qiantang River in the night looked extremely peaceful, Duan Fei's eyes looked at the other side, and asked Song Dingdao, the skilled gunner who came with the team: "Old Song, you can start picking a place to prepare for the cannon." ”

Song Ding nodded, he also looked at the other side, and said: "My lord, the river here is a little narrower, I'm afraid that the Japanese will come here in the morning, so we have to walk downstream along the river." ”

Duan Fei nodded, everyone continued to the east along the river, walking and walking, the Qiantang River was obviously wider, Song Ding picked a place, stomped on it with his feet, and said: "My lord, let's set up artillery here, the width of the river is just right to cover from both sides of the river with a general's cannon, and this riverbank is not suitable for the landing of the big boats, if they change to a small boat, the Franc machine gun is just right, the ground here is just right, not soft or hard, and the cannon is not easy to sink into." ”

Duan Fei said: "You are an expert in this area, you are fully responsible, first load up the two Franc cannons, and put a few cannons when the tide comes, and see how far and accurately this cannon can hit." ”

Song Ding agreed, and took a few people to unload the boxes on the carriage, and after the boxes were opened, a Franc cannon wrapped in a quilt appeared in front of everyone.

Song Ding quickly removed the quilt on the Franc cannon, and everyone present except Duan Fei was fascinated by the elegant and mighty appearance of the Franc cannon.

"This barrel is even more slender than our latest Franc cannon, what kind of material are they using!" Song Ding said in surprise.

Duan Fei said: "Better quality steel, nothing strange, check it to see if there is a problem?" If it's okay, fix the gun, adjust the gun to the maximum range, and then prepare to fire. ”

Song Ding carefully checked it, the barrel and body of the gun were fine, the gunpowder, the twist of the gun, and the ammunition were all normal, he and his assistant quickly installed the cannon, but it took a lot of time to adjust the angle of the muzzle.

After the two cannons were ready, Song Ding said to Duan Fei: "My lord, the Franc cannon is ready. ”

Duan Fei said: "Then wait." ”

At about the end of the hour, the rumbling tide suddenly sounded in the east, the sound was rapidly approaching, and it didn't take long for a white line to be seen on the surface of the Qiantang River in front of you, and the world-famous Qiantang tide was coming!

The rumbling tide was getting closer and closer, the waves up to several meters high were surging, and the eardrums were full of swishing sounds, just when these buns of earth buns from the north were all shocked by the earth-shattering Qiantang tide, Duan Fei decisively shouted: "Prepare to fire!" ”

Song Ding was also shocked by the tide of Qiantang, but Duan Fei's shout called his soul back, and he hurriedly pulled out a burning wood from the fire beside him, and quickly ignited the fire twist on the body of the Franc machine gun.

A little fire disappeared on the cannon body, and everyone waited with bated breath, and then saw the cannon body jump suddenly, and the cannon muzzle spewed out a flame several meters long, but everyone did not hear any sound.

Duan Fei had already been engrossed in the river, and the bright moon in the sky illuminated the river for him, and he could clearly see that the cannonballs made a huge splash on the surface of the river.

Another cannon was also fired, the landing point was similar to the one just now, Song Ding and several other gunners hurried up and released another cannon, the design of the sub-cannon of the Franco machine gun met the needs of rapid reloading, Duan Fei estimated the landing point, the four cannons were about the same, at this time the tide had passed, and if the cannon was released again, it would alarm the nearby residents, Duan Fei said: "Okay, the landing points of the four cannons before and after are about the same, it seems that this is their maximum range, about 1,500 meters, about 300 meters farther than our imitation cannon." ”

Three hundred meters is not a lot, Duan Fei's tone was a little lost, but Song Ding said: "My lord, our cannons are also better than them, for example, our sub-cannons have as many as thirty-six, there is a rod in the middle of our cannon body, and the speed of adjusting the muzzle is a hundred times faster than these two cannons, our cannons are wheeled, and it is much easier to move, and the battlefield is changing rapidly, so we may not lose to the Francophiles." ”
