Chapter 228: Where is Tuen Mun?
Qi Youshan watched dumbfounded, and after the cannon fired, it quickly retreated along the track, until it retreated to the top of the tripod, and then slowly slid back again. A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he shouted, "Homecoming! This cannon can be put back in place in no time! ”
Zhao Shizhen snorted, and didn't look at Qi Youshan's hillbilly reaction, stuffed the cannonball again, and pulled the cannon rope again. Rumble! Cannon discharge! But this time it didn't hit the target, and it exploded seventy or eighty feet away from the target.
Hua Hou Wei frowned: "What's the matter?" ”
"Master, it was a cannonball wrapped in five layers of wax paper, it should have been discharged, the wax paper was not burned clean, and the tail was not opened in time."
Hua Houwei nodded: "What about the one before?" ”
"That's a three-layer wax paper, it's estimated that it's at a critical value, and the tail wing opened on its own several times!"
"Test firing a cannonball with four layers of wax paper!"
Rumble! Target smash! Hua Houwei nodded with satisfaction: "A few more shots, see if the stability is unstable, if the cannon can't be destroyed, you will have to be wasted!" ”
Zhao Shizhen nodded: "Master, this is a destructive test, right?" It's good, it's just too expensive. ”
Hua Houwei shook his head: "I have to spend when I feel distressed!" This money must be spent! Without detailed data, what do you ask the fighters to do when they are fighting? Is there a blood test? Brother, brother, don't you say? ”
Qi Youshan only returned to his soul at this time, shouted, knelt in front of Hua Houwei, hugged Hua Houwei's leg and didn't let go: "Lord Wang!" Ancestors! This cannon is great! Give us the new Eguchi equipment first, right? ”
"What are you doing here? What about the boats and people that Lao Tzu wants? ”
"Lord Wang, what do you want, as long as this cannon is installed on the ship, it is guaranteed to be invincible in the world!"
"Cut! Where is this? I'm telling you, this is just a temporary measure, and the serious goodies are behind! Get up and don't kneel without moving. Old Qi, let me tell you, in the future, the sailor will develop greatly, and the day when your kid will soar is coming! ”
"Lord Wang, of course it's good to fly Huang Tengda, but I just want to stay on the ship and fight!"
"Well, the master will take you to the end of the sky, kill people and set fire to whale hunting!"
At this time, Zhao Shizhen came over and said with a smile: "Master, it's roughly finalized, let's give it a name!" ”
Hua Houwei waved his hand indifferently: "You can figure it out for yourself, where do I need this idea?" ”
Zhao Shizhen was overjoyed, tried to suppress the joy in his heart, and looked at Hua Houwei carefully: "Master, there are ten days in the sky that Hou Yi shoots it, do you think it is called a Japanese cannon or a Hou Yi cannon?" ”
"Shoot the sun?" Hua Houwei almost laughed out loud, this is good! You have to shoot the sun! "Well, shoot the sun, shoot the sun! Very domineering! ”
Back at the palace, Hua Houwei said to Wang Zhi beside him: "Qi Youshan promised to find a guide who is familiar with Tuen Mun, and Lao Wang, you should also think of a way to see if you can find such a person." If it doesn't work, I will be rewarded by the people of the trading house, and without the local hydrology and topography and other information, I am not sure about this battle. ”
Wang Zhi agreed, turned around and went out. Hua Houwei rubbed his sideburns, in the past few days of rushing and worrying about these affairs, he has not rested well, and he has a terrible headache today. Alas, how nice would it be if Wan Niang was here? I don't know how she's doing now?
The next day, Hua Houwei got up and felt much more relaxed. Wang went straight into the door and reported: "Qi Youshan is here again!" Also bring a person. ”
"Rubbing my breakfast again! Alright, call in! Hua Houwei laughed twice, and he didn't mind Qi Youshan's set. It's almost the level of the boss.,Everyone is willing to use someone close to you.。
After washing, Hua Houwei sat down on the dining table. "What are you waiting for me to do? Eat! Don't you always crave my breakfast? ”
Qi Youshan grinned, and his big fan-like hand pinched a cage drawer: "Lord Wang, this thing is a soup dumpling, right?" Marked, well, eaten. ”
"Okay, hurry up, I don't have such a big rule, talk while eating. This is the guide you found? ”
"Yes, Fu Jinsheng, a grass man, is from Panyu, Guangdong." Fu Jinsheng stood up stiffly, his voice trembling slightly.
"Sit, sit, eat! The emperor is not hungry yet. Do you know Tuen Mun? Depend on! Wang Zhi, map, we don't have a map of Tuen Mun? ”
"Master, there is a map near Tuen Mun, but where Tuen Mun is, the old slave doesn't know."
"The grass people know. Tuen Mun is not the name of our Ming Dynasty, it is the name given by those Franc machine people. The location is in Lingdingyang, which should be Neiling Island near the Xiangjiang River, or Lantau Island of the Xiangjiang River! ”
"Xiangjiang? Lingdingyang? Is it Wen Tianxiang's defeated Lingdingyang? ”
"Yes, it is the place where Prime Minister Wen is defeated."
"Map, take it and let me see, why are you so familiar?"
Wang Zhi brought the map, Hua Houwei looked at it carefully for a while, damn! It turned out to be Hong Kong! What else is Xiangjiang, Tuen Mun, that's right. The British value this place, but I didn't expect the Francos to value it too. No wonder Hong Kong can develop, this geographical advantage is unparalleled!
After having a spectrum in his heart, Hua Houwei put down his mind and gagged with Qi Youshan to feast. After the dishes were cleaned up, someone brought hot tea.
"Well, Fu Jinsheng, you are very familiar with this area of Lingdingyang? What did you do before? ”
Fu Jinsheng was slightly embarrassed and hesitated. Qi Youshan explained with a smile: "Lord Wang, the old man was originally a fisherman, but later he had a conflict with the Tan people, and in a fit of anger, he burned more than a dozen boats, and the government wanted him, so he became a pirate in desperation." ”
"Pirates?" Hua Houwei still didn't raise his eyelids, but there was a hint of murder in his tone.
Fu Jinsheng knelt on his knees: "Lord Wang, although I have been a pirate, I have never killed anyone, and I have never done anything that hurts heaven and reason." Otherwise, General Qi would not have allowed me. ”
"Yes, I investigated, and he was beaten by the pirate leader for refusing to kill. Fortunately, I had a good skill in handling the boat, so I didn't feed the sharks. ”
Hua Houwei was relieved and said warmly: "Heroes don't ask where they come from, since you have your integrity, you are not a bad person." Well, did I tell you? Are you afraid of war? ”
Fu Jinsheng puffed out his chest: "What's so terrible about beating a red-haired ghost?" These guys look like people, but in fact they are not as good as animals! ”
"Oh, that's okay, you just follow the old Qi, and after this battle, you will gain as much credit as you have. Our Daming water division is short of manpower, and you can also enter the water division in the future. ”
Qi Youshan wants this sentence, Fu Jinsheng has a life-saving grace for him, and he will spare no effort to get on the right path. "Lord Wang, the old man will follow me. Yesterday I tried it with Director Zhao, and there are absolutely no problem with two lucky ships, and the rest are not insured. Is it possible to start the transformation today? ”
"Well, the sooner the better! There are still people behind these red-haired ghosts, and if you don't cut off the outstretched hand, there will be endless troubles! Hua Houwei thought of the Humen cigarette sale, thought of the Nanjing Treaty, and sneered in his heart, this time let's see Lao Tzu sign an unequal treaty with you!
