Chapter 714: Blatantly testing the cannon in front of the Pavilion of All Nations
Nong Chigao jumped like thunder in the hall, but outside the mansion, Yang Jing just stood alone outside the door with the wind and dust, standing with his hands in his hands, looking up slightly, looking at this mansion that was not too big or small.
After half a pillar of incense time, a forbidden soldier wearing a new type of fiery red leather armor spurred his horse to come, strangled the horse's head steadily, rolled the saddle and fell off the horse, and gave Yang Jing a half-kneeling down.
"Sun Qian, Marquis of Zuo Yu of the Shenhuo Battalion, has seen Marquis Yang!"
Yang Jing saw that this little school was in high spirits, his body was as upright as a javelin, his left eye was habitually slightly squinted, and there were still many burn scars on the back of his hand, so he knew that he should be a rising star in the Shenhuo camp.
"Get up, you don't have to be so polite, have you brought everything I ordered?"
Hearing Yang Jing say this, Sun Qian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded at Yang Jing with a fist: "It's just behind!"
"Good!"
Yang Jing nodded in approval, and after a while, a black carriage drove over, followed by two teams of black light armor musketeers, behind which were new-style old sleeves, deerskin fast shoes, and leggings wrapped around their legs, which looked extremely capable.
As soon as the carriage stopped, these spearmen unloaded a lot of things from the carriage, and Sun Qian hurriedly said to Yang Jing: "Master Hou, this is what Master Du asked the brothers to prepare for Master Hou..."
"Du Kefeng, what kind of trick is this?"
Sun Qian didn't dare to say anything, but the brothers quickened their hands and feet, and set up a pergola, set up tables and chairs, and had cold wine and some seasonal fruits.
Yang Jing also couldn't cry or laugh, and said in his heart that Du Kefeng was in Jiangling in his early years, and he was also extravagant and tight, and this time he asked the Shenhuo Battalion to do this thing of showing off his martial arts, and his routine was really domineering.
Thinking of this, Yang Jing shook his head and smiled, and sat in the pergola with a golden knife, and Feng Ruochen was waiting for him.
Yang Jing looked at Sun Qian and the musketeers, and said to Feng Ruochen, "You can sit with me for a while." ”
Feng Ruochen is a mother-in-law who never drags mud and water, and immediately sat next to Yang Jing, seeing that the melons and fruits were cool and attractive, especially the cold wine, but the maritime merchants sold it from the Western Regions, and immediately tasted it.
The brothers of the Shenhuo Camp have long known that there are several strange women around Yang Jing, one is more powerful than the other, and at this time, seeing the wind and dust, they can't help but stir in their hearts, and say that Yang Hou Ye is really a big Song Qi man, if he is another person, who will show up at the same table with the woman?
When he was thinking like this, Feng Ruochen said to Sun Qian: "Sun Yuhou, the weather is hot, let the brothers drink two sips to relieve the heat, Hou Ye is the most generous, so that the brothers don't have to be restrained." ”
Sun Qian couldn't help but be shocked, but he peeked at Yang Jing, but saw Yang Jing smiling, a little ridiculous, and didn't dare to agree, so he politely refused.
"Thank you for your kindness, it's just that the brothers have to run errands for a while, and they are on duty right now, and they don't dare to drink..."
Yang Jing couldn't help but smile and said to Sun Qian: "Sun Qian, I told you Master Du, this is my own private matter, it has nothing to do with official business, you are not on a mission, if you are really on a mission, don't you say that Ben Hou transferred troops without authorization? This is a big crime..."
When Sun Qian heard this, his face couldn't help but change greatly, and he hurriedly wanted to kneel down, but was frozen by Yang Jing's eyes.
"Yes! Since we're not on a mission... That... How are those guys going to follow up and explain?"
Sun Qian pointed his head back, but saw a big carriage rumbling over, the ruts were almost crushed and deformed, and it took four bantam horses with extremely strong endurance in front of him to pull the cart
。
There were also more than 20 firearmed soldiers next to the cart, but they didn't carry rifles, but they all wore arm armor, and that was the gunner of the Shenhuo Battalion!
Whether it is a musketeer or a gunner, it goes without saying that they worship Yang Jing, they have seen the great power of the new musket artillery with their own eyes, and they simply worship Yang Jing as a prophet and immortal.
There weren't many opportunities to perform in front of Yang Jing, and these gunners quickly unloaded a cannon from the cart with three strikes and five divisions.
This cannon is not a Fran machine gun, nor is it a large Hongyi cannon, but Du Kefeng and fifty master craftsmen, according to Yang Jing's design drawing, cast an iron cannon, the caliber is very large, and it is also named by Yang Jing himself, called "Bantam Tiger"!
Du Kefeng and others originally used the mud mold casting method, simply put, the cannon mold was cast with wax first, wrapped in mud, after heating, the wax will melt, pour iron juice, and then polish the inner chamber, you can create the prototype of the iron cannon.
But Yang Jing asked them to use the iron core casting method, and a set of molds could be used repeatedly and repeatedly, which greatly increased the efficiency and output of cannon making, and made the Shenhuo Battalion greatly expand in a short period of time.
The technical requirements of the artillery are much lower than those of the old sleeve, and the number of artillery pieces is already very considerable.
Du Kefeng and other craftsmen, the recent research project is steelmaking, if they can build steel cannons, it will be really invincible.
It's a pity that steelmaking has high technical requirements, mainly for temperature, and the standards of the furnace are too harsh, and the test has been for half a year, and there is not much progress, after all, limited by the science and technology of the times, Yang Jing can only provide creativity in this regard, but can not provide specific principles and details, and can only take his time.
Not to mention this, but simply said that the gunners assembled the Bantam Tiger, and quickly filled ten percent of the dose, wrapped the shells in oilcloth, and filled the barrels.
At this time, Sun Qian was still waiting, and Yang Jing finally thought of answering his question.
"There must be a saying for this, if the boss asks about it, he will say that Ben Hou Ye has not inspected the Shenhuo Battalion, this Shenhuo Camp is like Ben Hou's son, Ben Hou has to see what his son looks like, and today he will come out to test the gun. ”
Sun Qian couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and said in his heart that Yang Houye said it lightly, and the test artillery was tried at the door of the Annan envoy group...
Yang Jing saw that Sun Qian's face was pale, so he smiled at him and said: "Send all these wines, brothers taste them, the wine is bold, if you don't dare to follow Ben Hou to do this, give me courage." ”
Many gunners did not have the same concerns as Sun Qian, and when they heard that Yang Jing and Yang Hou Ye personally gave wine, they all raised their heads and chests, and before they drank the wine, they were a little dizzy.
It is the greatest honor to be able to get the wine from Yang Hou Ye, and to let Yang Hou Ye say two words!
Yang Jing saw that these gunners had drunk, and he also laughed, looked at the closed door in front of him, and suddenly became playful, and said to Sun Qian: "Bring me a bucket of lime water!"
Sun Qian didn't know why, so he asked people to bring lime water, this thing can be seen everywhere in the Shenhuo camp, since Yang Houye wants to see them fire cannons, he always has to draw a target or something, there is one in the convoy, even if he mentions it.
Yang Jing grabbed a large pen like a mop, carried lime water, walked to the gate, and did not forget to nod and smile at the guards of the envoy group who were staring at the wall, and then wrote a big word "demolition" on the gate!
The staring man saw the bantam tiger, he had already been frightened, and he saw Yang Jing write a word, although he couldn't recognize it, but he saw the gunners drinking and strengthening their courage, just like half of the oath before he died, and said that this bold Yang Hou Ye was coming this time
Really, instead of scaring them, I immediately ran back to report it!
Yang Jing returned to the pergola and said to Sun Qian: "Zuo Yuhou, do you know what to do?"
The corners of Sun Qian's mouth twitched slightly, he smiled awkwardly, and ordered the gunner behind him: "Demolish it for me... Give me a test gun!"
Although the gunners have been training, they are all dead targets, and they have never practiced on the battlefield, I heard that many brothers in the Shenhuo Battalion secretly went north and joined the righteous army of the Pisces Mountain Sect, which made the Mongolian Tartars cry and cry for their mothers, so unpleasant.
Now that he finally has a chance, and it is Yang Houye who personally supports him, as soon as the wine comes up, the gunners say in their hearts, who is grandpa afraid of!
The gunner lit the tail of the cannon with a torch, but there was a boom, and the earth shook completely, and the heavy and hard solid iron bullet roared out of the chamber, and the riveted door of the envoy suddenly blasted out a big hole, and the sawdust flew in all directions, and the shell pierced through the gate and flew out diagonally, overturning a large piece of the roof behind the door!
The gunners will have an impulse in their hearts over time, and they will not feel how majestic the building is, but how many cannons they need to fire in order to raze the building to the ground!
As soon as the cannon fire rang out, these gunners didn't even have the slightest fear left, and they quickly filled the medicine and loaded the ammunition, and the entire door was smashed with a bang, and the left and right door walls also collapsed, and it was simply a ruin!
The members of the Annan envoys in the courtyard of the house shouted and screamed, and they didn't care about cleaning up, as if the giant spirit god in the sky had smashed their home, and they hurriedly escaped through the back door!
In a place like Annan, he has never seen artillery, and Yang Jing's hand is displayed, and Nong Chigao finally understands.
No wonder Yang Jing dared to be so arrogant, because he was holding Grandpa Lei's thunder hammer in his hand!
Next door to the envoys is the Wanguo Hotel, which is full of envoys from all over the world, and when you hear the earth-shattering sound of artillery, it suddenly surges out, and soon gathers into a sea of people!
The envoys of all nations watched heavily, and the newly promoted Marquis Yang sat in the pergola, drinking cold wine, eating melons and fruits, and razing the entire mansion to the ground with this shocking artillery!
"Master Hou, do you want to bring someone to arrest all the envoys of Annan?" Sun Qian saw that there were more and more envoys, and he was also a little weak-hearted, after all, this is at the feet of the Son of Heaven!
Yang Jing didn't think so, and said to him: "Zuo Yuhou, in addition to being powerful at firing artillery, you also have to learn the ability to be an official, didn't Benhou say it, we are here to test the artillery, who are we arresting? What Annan envoys? Shouldn't they live in the Wanguo Hotel? Isn't this a ruined house? Where are people? Why hasn't Ben Hou seen it?"
Sun Qian was also in a cold sweat, and said in his heart, you are the marquis who is now referring to the deer as a horse, and we all have to believe it, just rely on the bantam tiger artillery mount here, your old man said no, who dares to say that there is a mother?
Feng Ruochen's heart is also very happy, she knows Yang Jing, if she is not sure, how dare Yang Jing be so nonsense, as long as Nong Chigao is not a stupid, it is impossible to slip away, after seeing this artillery, she has to take the initiative to come to the door and obediently accept Zhao Yun's canonization?
Although An Fengjun picked up a lot of cheap in the north and recovered a lot of lost land, it was not strictly understood to expand the territory, and now it canonized the Chen Dynasty, and with the help of them to resist the Mongols, this is a great martial art, plus the Shenhuo Battalion should have been launched a long time ago, so that the civil and military officials can also take a look, he Zhao Yun has invested so many manpower and material resources, and the Shenhuo Battalion that he has made up is so powerful!
Yang Jing was not so much to deter the Annan envoys, but to deter those officials in the court, so that they did not dare to block the southern expeditionary army in terms of logistics!
