Chapter 11 Offering the Imperial Court to Send Soldiers

Angel and her companions are very competitive, out of ten 'cannons', none of them are dumb fired, and the hit rate also reaches eight out of ten, such a 'fine' accuracy, even when they were in the naval school, it was also very rare. Of course, this is inseparable from Angel's sight mapping the terrain and correcting the angle accurately.

"Report to the general, the test 'shooting' is complete, please show the general!"

Ma Quanyou, whose ears were still a little buzzing, couldn't help but pat his ears with his palm when he saw the young Fanren 'female' general running back heroically to report it.

"How, Master Ma, have these new cannons ever been in the eyes of the law?" Yu Feng asked with a grin.

"This, Mr. Yu, can I take a closer look at these cannons?" Ma Quan looked a little distracted, what he saw in the clairvoyant mirror and what he saw when he put down the clairvoyant, but two completely different pictures, he didn't have seen the artillery of the Shenji Battalion, but, such a distance, such a power, I am afraid that it is really only comparable to the ten bottles of general cannon on the city wall of the capital.

"Please, please!" Yu Feng naturally couldn't ask for such a request, if this Ma Quanyou was a pedantic nerd and didn't feel for his cannons, then wouldn't he be flattering and thrown to the blind man, and Ma Quanyou's reaction was right in his arms.

The barrel of the cannon that had just been 'fired' was still very hot, and those artillery instructors were using a cloth dipped in water and tied to a wooden stick to clean up the barrel, and if the residue in the barrel was not cleaned up in time, the next 'shot' would be greatly affected. The wet cloth ball came into contact with the hot cannon chamber, and as the water vapor evaporated, it made a sound of eating. The air was also filled with the smell of gunsmoke, which was not a good smell for a scholar like Ma Quanyou.

But at this moment, Ma Quanyou didn't care about these at all, but carefully held these cannons one by one, watching the instructors clean the barrels and fix the cannons on the mound again.

"How long will it take for the next 'shot'?" He couldn't help but ask.

"In the time of half a pillar of incense, you can 'fire' twice, but after three or four consecutive 'shots', the barrel of this cannon must be cooled, otherwise, if this cannon is put into the cannon 'door', it will have to explode!" Yu Feng explained to him.

"Enough, enough!" Ma Quan nodded, as if muttering to himself. Three or four times, that is the time of one stick of incense, the time of one stick of incense, one 'gate' cannon can 'fire' four times, but if it is ten 'gates', a hundred 'gates', isn't it forty times, four hundred times, if it is a turn to 'shoot', what kind of enemy can occasionally get close to the city defended by these cannons.

"What do you think of my new cannons?" Yu Feng once again brought up the question of whether Ma Quan had a positive answer before, if Ma Quanyou didn't take this stubble, he really couldn't continue the topic.

"It depends on what kind of cannon it is compared to!" Ma Quan smiled slyly, selling goods is always to be good with their own goods, just like selling melons, they always have to say that their melons are sweet, Yu Feng went to the 'door' early in the morning, and took himself outside the city to see the 'shooting', and he would not be idle and have nothing to do. No matter how eager he is to get these cannons, it doesn't prevent him from belittleing them, this is the buyer!

"Compared with the general cannon of our Da Ming Shen Machine Battalion, it seems to be between the best, but if it is compared with the dozens of 'doors' of the general cannon on the head of the Jingshi City, it is far from the same!"

"Oh!" Yu Feng didn't say anything about his answer, just waved his hand, and suddenly a large group of people and some carriages came from behind, these people shouted in front of Ma Quanyou, and carried these cannons that still had residual warmth on the wooden shelves behind those carriages, and the two drove in front, and more than ten people pushed behind them, and in an instant, these cannons were surrounded by these people, walking towards the city, and there were only more than ten big pits left in the ground, and the mounds that seemed to be a little scattered.

"And now?" Yu Feng asked with a smile. Daming's general cannons, the lightest of which are 14,500 catties, and his new cannons weigh only half of the general's cannons, a four-horse carriage, a dozen people, it is easy to transfer these cannons to any place.

"Mr. Yu invited me to come and see this test 'shooting' today, not because I want the old man to compare Mr. Yu's new cannon with Daming's firearms!" Ma Quanyou didn't answer, and a slight smile appeared on his face: "If that's the case, I'm afraid it's the 'waiter' of the Ministry of Works, who knows better than the old man!" ”

"Of course not, come on, Master Ma, please get on the sedan chair, let's go back and talk slowly!" Yu Feng said.

"It's okay, it's good to walk around and move your muscles, if Mr. Yu doesn't give up, it's good to accompany the old man for a walk, as Mr. Yu said, it's also good to see the style of this Seoul along the way!"

This horse is determined to 'figure out' Yu Feng's intentions, and he can't even wait for a moment.

"Be your company!" Yu Feng nodded: "These cannons, if they can't enter the eyes of adults, if I dedicate these cannons to the imperial court, won't they be said to be perfunctory to the imperial court and perfunctory saints?" ”

"These are all to be dedicated to the imperial court?" Ma Quan's eyes lit up, "How many cannons are there?" ”

"One hundred 'gates', but now there are only fifteen 'gates', these are all the old cannons in Seoul that I have melted to get more than 10,000 catties of wrought iron, and a certain proportion of bronze is mixed in the middle, I don't know very well about these, they are all made by those craftsmen of Fanren!"

Hearing the first three words, Ma Quanyou's heart thumped, but the next words made him slightly disappointed, fifteen 'gates', what use can fifteen 'gates' do, so many soldiers and horses in the imperial court, if they are divided, wouldn't it be like a stone sinking into the sea, and even a blister can't afford one.

"However, on the side of Busan, there is an iron mine, my people have passed, if this iron smelting is no problem, these craftsmen will start work overnight, plus those craftsmen I have allocated to him, between three months and half a year, I will definitely be able to gather a hundred 'gates' to dedicate to the imperial court!" Yu Feng looked sincere, "Being able to share the emperor's worries is naturally what we should do as courtiers, if it weren't for the fact that I just controlled the situation and the soldiers and horses were stretched, since Lord Ma, I would have led the army back to Daming to be the emperor's thief!" ”

This is to negotiate the conditions with me, well, well, it is a good thing to be able to talk about the conditions, but I am afraid that you will not even talk about the conditions, and you will directly 'mix' with that Dolgon, and I will be the enemy of the Ming Dynasty.

Ma Quan has the heart to go to Da'an, but there is a look of embarrassment on his face: "The old man knows the difficulties of General Soldier Yu, but since General Soldier Yu has decided to serve the court and share the worries of the emperor, when he sends troops, it is not negotiable, but only these fifteen 'gates' cannons are dedicated to the imperial court, I am afraid that there will not be much worry for the emperor!" ”

"Of course, it's not just these fifteen 'doors' cannons, don't forget, these cannons are made by Fanren, and some of the skills 'door' Dao, I'm afraid that my Ming soldiers, I can't master it for a while, along with these fifteen 'doors' cannons and Ma Daren went back together, as well as a battalion of my new army's Fanren regiment, more than 2,000 people, these people are comparable to tigers and wolves, if they are used properly, they can be regarded as a strong force."

Ma Quanyou looked at Yu Feng in surprise, the generals of the Ming Dynasty all controlled their soldiers tightly, because they all knew that without these soldiers, they would be nothing, if someone wanted to divide his military power, the idea of beating his soldiers and generals would directly turn their faces. Ma Quanyou really hasn't seen it, like Yu Feng, a military leader who doesn't care about his own soldiers and horses, this is two thousand, not twenty.

"Mr. Yu, are you sure you're not joking?"

"Of course not, it's not enough, let me explain in advance, these people of mine are only responsible for protecting these cannons to fight, where the cannons are, they are there, if they go to fight face-to-face with the thieves and real guns, if they mutiny at that time, but they have nothing to do with me!"

"It's just that naturally, these people fight for the imperial court, that is, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and the imperial court naturally has the imperial court's calculations, and they will not let Mr. Yu's hard work be in vain!" Ma Quanyou was a little happy and couldn't keep his mouth shut, this was much more than he expected, driving the tiger and devouring the wolf, and the tiger devouring the wolf, although it was only a word difference, it was a thousand miles wrong, and the difference here was big.

Of course, in addition to being happy, he didn't say a word about Dolgon's affairs, Yu Feng wanted to be left and right, he could understand how much at this time, to say these things, that is, to find embarrassment for himself, after all, until now, it seems that Yu Feng is taking advantage of Daqing's body, but as soon as he changed hands, he gave this bargain to Daming, and he also cut off a piece of 'meat' from himself as a partner.

He now believes in Yu Feng's words such as what kind of troops are overstretched, to put it mildly, if he is this Yu Feng, who has been alone overseas for so many years, it is not easy to save some belongings, and the court will come to someone casually, and take some of this family away, but I am afraid that he will not do it. However, the butt decides the head, and everyone has a different position, so they can only see each other's difficulties disappear.

"These cannons have been pulled directly to the Liuxian Pavilion, and later, the battalion officers of the Fanren Battalion will go to meet Master Ma, these people will only be ordered by the imperial court in the future!"

"It's nature, it's nature!"

"As for how these people return to Daming, I think, don't be careful, Daming's sailors, in any port of my North Korea, are unimpeded!"

"Mr. Yu's loyal and brave heart to serve the country, I will definitely truthfully show the saint!" Ma Quanyou swears, he can't help but feel 'excited', a thankless errand, in the blink of an eye, it has become a great credit, or he didn't have to think about it at all, and people sent it directly to his hands, but what he can do is only these, at this time, he seems to have a little bit of understanding, why Dingguo Gong said at the beginning, if it wasn't for the creation of 'getting' people, I am afraid that this residual wind is also the meaning of the words of the pillars of the imperial court.
