Chapter 459: Deterrence
At the moment when the artillery roared, Feng Ang and the others all had pupils constricted, stunned, they were too shocked, what shocked them was not the sound of the artillery, but the range and power of the artillery, the artillery fell in the sea in the distance, stirred up a high splash, and also fell on the shore, leaving a deep trace, although they knew that the artillery was famous in the imperial court and was praised by the emperor as a weapon for the town, so they had already been psychologically prepared, but when they saw the artillery in unison, they still felt shocked, too strong! Compared with the shock of Feng Ang and others, Liang Zhengxuan felt very pleasantly surprised after being shocked, artillery is really worthy of being a weapon for the town! As soon as the artillery sounded, the ground shook, this movement, this range, this power, with artillery, after seeing whether these soil buns in Lingnan would dare to look down on him as an interviewer, at this moment, Liang Zhengxuan was very glad that he had taken refuge in Li Yong.
"As soon as the cannon goes off, the ground shakes and the mountains shake, it really deserves to be a weapon for the town!"
Liang Zheng exclaimed excitedly, this exclamation woke Feng Ang's father and son from the shock, it stands to reason that Feng Ang has experienced so many winds and waves to not be so out of shape, but he was still suppressed, because he thought a lot, artillery is not only useful on ships, it is so powerful, and the range is so long, if this is used in siege, what kind of city can't be broken? The role of this artillery is too great, Feng Ang exclaimed.
"Amazing, too powerful, it has long been rumored that the artillery is sharp, and today I saw that it really deserves its reputation, I heard that this artillery was developed by Huatinghou, Huatinghou is really talented!"
Now he finally understands why Li Yong's holy family is so big, Li Yong's contribution to the Tang Dynasty is so great, it is strange that the emperor is not favored, compared to Feng An, Feng Zhidai's brother's city is not so deep, with a trace of unconcealed horror on their faces, just now the cannon roared really scared them, Li Yong smiled slightly.
"The old man has won the prize! Liu Renyuan, what do you think? ”
What do you think? Of course it's not very good, whether it's the operation method, the speed of loading or the power of the artillery, it's not very good, of course, this is with the soldiers of the Xishan Battalion who have been in the army for a long time, Liu Renyuan muttered.
"After all, they have only been exposed to artillery for a short time, and they are not proficient, but they learn quite quickly!"
Liu Renyuan, Liu Youyu and the others looked very indifferent, because compared with the training of the army or navy in the Xishan battalion, this can really only be regarded as a small scene, and it is quite tactful, Li Yong nodded with a smile.
"Liu Xiaochuan!"
"Here! Master Hou! ”
Liu Xiaochuan listened respectfully.
Li Yong said with a smile.
"It's not bad, after all, the people on the ship gathered in a hurry, and there were no mistakes, which can be regarded as meeting my expectations, which is worth affirming, of course, there is still a lot of room for improvement, and it is still far from the Shenji Battalion! In the future, we will continue to work hard in training, and I will take you to the Shenji Camp to observe and learn from the experience! ”
Liu Xiaochuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, he knew that Li Yong was just talking about the scene, what kind of magic machine camp, compared to the Xishan camp? Than the naval base? But he still pretended to be respectful.
"Yes, Master Hou, the little ones will train hard in the future, and they will never live up to Lord Hou's expectations!"
Witnessing all this, Feng Ang sighed with emotion.
"I saw the artillery salvo just now, the old man has been suppressed, I didn't expect Huating Hou to be dissatisfied, His Majesty Huating Hou is really strict!"
Li Yong explained with a smile.
"Lao Guogong was also shocked because he saw artillery for the first time. In fact, this kind of artillery is not powerful, it can only be regarded as medium artillery, but there are only ten guns. ”
Feng Ang and the others thought that this was the most powerful artillery, but they didn't expect that this was only a medium-sized artillery, so didn't it mean that there were even more powerful artillery? It's shocking! How powerful is the larger artillery? Feng Ang groaned.
"This isn't a merchant ship! With this transformation of Huatinghou, didn't this ship become a warship? ”
For Feng Ang and them, this is not just a warship, this is simply the strongest warship, an invincible warship that runs rampant on the sea, invincible, but this is just a model ship that Li Yong uses to deter them, any one of his combined fleets can scare them to death, Li Yong smiled slightly.
"In the vast sea, there are not only wind, waves and reefs, once the sea route is opened, it will breed pirates, with this kind of warship, there is no need to be afraid of pirates!"
Feng Ang and the others were very speechless when they heard this, there is such a warship sailing on the sea, who is tired of meowing to be a pirate? Isn't that a self-sent death? And with such a warship, Li Yong himself has become the biggest pirate at sea, right? It doesn't matter if you are someone's ship, as long as you go to sea, you have to be obedient, this idea was really guessed by them, the Black Pearl Pirate Group is the largest pirate group, it is a secret fleet under Li Yong's navy, originally they were still wondering why Li Yong had so much confidence, but now they finally understand, it turns out that Li Yong has such a big killing weapon, for a while, Feng An's father and son all sank in their hearts, Li Yong led them to the sea ship, it was naked intimidation, Even the Feng Zhidai brothers, who were disapproving of Li Yong before, also sank in their hearts, if they didn't cooperate with Li Yong, would the ship that went to sea come back? Whose ships can withstand artillery bombardment? There's no way to fight at all, Feng Ang said with a smile.
"No wonder the whole world is clamoring to go to sea, but Huatinghou is not afraid at all, it turns out that Huatinghou has such a sharp weapon, so whether it is a family or someone, you have to listen to Huatinghou obediently at sea!"
Li Yong couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
"Does the old man think that I will rely on warships to bully other seagoing ships? No, no, I, Li Yong, have always been convinced by virtue, and I will never bully the weak! ”
If Feng Zhixin, who was in Guangzhou City, heard this, he would have to vomit blood in anger, Feng An, Feng Zhidai and others were speechless when they heard it, they were almost shocked by Li Yong's shamelessness, you would never bully the weak?
I believe you are a ghost, you are very bad with the bad old man, Feng Ang nodded.
"Of course, Huating Houde is being bullied by the world, how can he be bullied?"
Feng Zhidai and the others were speechless on the side, they didn't expect the old man to say such a thing against his will, saying that Li Yongde was the world, of course, it was not wrong, but Li Yong could not bully the weak, isn't it obvious? There are warships equipped with artillery, and all the merchant ships at sea are all weak, Li Yong muttered.
"Actually, it doesn't hurt to tell you, the sage sent me south to inspect the seaports in various places, and then select three places to set up a city and a sea to collect taxes!"
Feng Ang and the others were all stunned when they heard this, Li Yong was ordered to go south to inspect, it turned out to be to inspect the location, and set up the city to open the sea? After a while, they suddenly reacted, what does this mean? Does it mean that only these three selected places can go to sea? No other places can go to sea? This was completely unexpected by everyone, everyone thought that they could go to sea anywhere, they never thought that the imperial court would stipulate where to go to sea, and then set up a city department to collect taxes, if it was before, they would definitely scoff at it, the Tang Dynasty is so big, the coastline is so long, you can secretly go to sea if you find a place, can the people of the imperial court still squat on the beach every day and wait? But a warship with artillery is in front of you, can this be an ornament? The ship that goes to sea from the city ship division will definitely have the documents of the city ship department, and the ship without the paper must not be bombarded into scum by artillery? Now Feng Ang and they have completely understood, the imperial court set up a city ship division, set up a naval division gunboat, regardless of whether it is a family ship or whose ship, they have to follow the rules of the imperial court, what makes Feng An's heart sink is, what if there is no city ship division in Guangzhou City? So how do their Lingnan people go to sea? And where to set up the city, and it depends on whom? Li Yong! It turns out that Li Yong's hole cards are not only artillery, but also set up the city division, these two hole cards complement each other, it can be called a lore, originally Feng Ang also felt that fifty-five points was his bottom line, and now suddenly there is no bottom in his heart, no wonder Li Yong just smiled and shook his head when he heard fifty-five points that day, if it was him, he would not be able to accept the conditions of fifty-five points, where to set up the city port division to go to sea, it may have no impact on other families, but the impact on their Feng family is too great, their Feng family, They are in urgent need of such an opportunity, when they come, Feng Ang and his son are in a relaxed mood, but when they leave, they are preoccupied, when Li Yong and Feng Ang and his son came to the harbor to swim, there are many outsiders in Guangzhou City one after another, for Guangzhou City, which has rarely come to Guangzhou City, this can not help but be a little surprising, these people are of course people from the family, including Wang Qingyun, who is in the dust, surrounded by a group of guards, Wang Qingyun entered Guangzhou City a little haggard, he has a feeling of wanting to cry, he is really non-stop along the way! For the pampered him, this road almost didn't toss him to death, although he usually rides a horse, but he doesn't ride a horse like this! Riding a horse all the way, he couldn't catch up with Li Yong, and he didn't know if Li Yong had arrived in Guangzhou City, as soon as he entered Guangzhou City, Wang Qingyun couldn't wait to catch a person, and threw out a broken silver casually, the person who was caught was originally a little unhappy, but as soon as he took the broken silver, he immediately put it to his mouth and gnawed it, it turned out to be really silver, a local tyrant! A smile suddenly welled up on the face of the person who was caught.
"This son, do you have anything to do?"
Wang Qingyun said with a smile.
"Don't be nervous, I'm just asking for some news!"
The smile on the man's face deepened when he heard this, and he was just asking for some news, and the silver was so simple.
"Oh, just ask! This news in the city of Guangzhou, my door is clear, no matter whose mother-in-law steals the man, or whose man goes to the building, I know, even if I don't know, I can also inquire for you, may I ask the son, who are you ......"
Wang Qingyun listened to it, almost his face turned green, and hurriedly said.
"Stop, stop, stop, do you know Li Yong? Huating Hou Li Yong, did he come to Guangzhou City? ”
Wang Qingyun felt that as long as Li Yong came to Guangzhou City, with Li Yong's coquettish temperament, he was definitely like a firefly in the night, which could not be concealed, and that person was still a little stunned when he first heard Li Yong, but when he heard the words Huatinghou, he understood, who in the whole Guangzhou City now does not know Huatinghou?
"Huating Hou? It's in the city of Guangzhou! I just came here two days ago, and he was in our Guangzhou City, which is very famous! Nowadays, the whole city of Guangzhou can be said to be known to everyone! ”
Nonsense, who in the whole world doesn't know Li Yong? Wang Qingyun couldn't help muttering in his heart, if nothing else, just that guy's poetry is enough to make Li Yong famous all over the world, Li Yong has already come to Guangzhou City! This guy really didn't stop along the way, and went straight to Guangzhou City non-stop, wait a while, isn't it, now? In other words, the people in Guangzhou City didn't know about Li Yong before? So why did Li Yong suddenly become famous in Guangzhou City? Could it be that this guy is writing poetry? Wang Qingyun asked.
"What did Li Yong do when he came to Guangzhou City? What do you know? Let's start at the beginning. ”
"Hey, Childe, you can ask the right person, let me tell you, do you know the Eighteenth Child? The eighteenth prince is the tyrant of our Guangzhou City, he is the eighteenth prince of the Feng family, and no one dares to mess with Chang'an City. ”
Wang Qingyun was a little impatient when he heard it, what is the eighteenth son, not the eighteenth son, he didn't pay attention to it at all, what kind of son can there be in this broken place? The Feng family was just a rich man in his eyes, but he still listened patiently.
"That day, Huating Hou entered the city, and was about to enter the city with the eighteen sons, and then I don't know how there was a conflict, and then the Huating Hou beat the eighteen princes, and they vomited blood! Tsk, this Huating Hou is really amazing! That's the eighteenth son! No one has ever dared to mess with it! ”
Wang Qingyun was speechless when he heard this, didn't he just beat Feng An's son? Is this a problem? Li Yong beat Feng An's son, so what? What else could Feng Ang do? Hey? Wrong! Wang Qingyun suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly, of course Feng Ang couldn't do anything to Li Yong, but what did Li Yong do all the way to Lingnan? Don't you just want to cooperate with the Feng family? Now that Li Yong has just arrived in Guangzhou City, he has beaten Feng An's son and vomited blood, can Feng Ang still cooperate with Li Yong? Wang Qingyun almost didn't vomit blood when he heard this, so why did he run to Guangzhou City non-stop? There is no need to come to Lingnan at all, Li Yong will have an enmity with the Feng family as soon as he comes to Lingnan, and he doesn't need them to destroy it at all, so he has suffered in vain all the way to Lingnan! Just when Wang Qingyun was depressed in his heart, the man then spoke.
"Huatinghou beat the eighteenth son, everyone thinks Huatinghou is finished, guess what? The chief manager slapped the eighteenth prince hard, and then asked Mrs. Lin to take the eighteenth prince to make amends, oh my God! I have lived in Guangzhou City for half my life, and I have never seen the Feng family suffer such a big loss! I really don't know what the origin of that Huating Marquis is? It can actually make the Feng family soft! That's amazing! In Lingnan, it is a strong dragon that does not suppress the head snake! ”
Wang Qingyun couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, he could guess that Li Yong beat Feng An's son, and Feng Ang wouldn't do anything to Li Yong, but he didn't expect Feng Ang to beat his son, and then sent him to make amends, Wang Qingyun really wanted to catch Feng Ang and ask a good question, your son was smashed and vomited blood, and you even took a meal and sent it to make amends? You are the dignified Geng Guogong, the chief manager of Lingnan, and the recognized king of Lingnan, are you too cowardly?
