Chapter 322: Bringing Artillery to Collect Accounts (Part 3)
Li Changfeng said lightly: "Erchen has already built an ironclad warship. ”
Emperor Qianwu was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed, "Ironclad warship? ”
At the beginning, Benjamin's cargo ship ran aground in the South China Sea, and Li Changfeng sent people from the scientific research institute to learn shipbuilding, and Emperor Qianwu knew about the later opening of the shipyard.
However, he didn't pay much attention to the matter.
It's been less than a year now, and the ironclad warship has been successfully manufactured, how can you not be surprised?
"Father, don't be so surprised." Li Changfeng waved his hand and said, "It's just the steel used for the shell and the main structure, and the other positions are still made of wood." ”
From the very beginning, Li Changfeng never thought of building a steel battleship like in his previous life, as long as the shell was hard enough and the structure was stable enough.
His design idea was based on ocean-going trade, supplemented by combat.
Even so, ironclad warships were still enough to crush all the wooden ships in the world, especially with the installation of steam engines.
There is another very important reason, that is, the steel output of Daqian today is not enough for him to let go of his hands and feet to build steel warships.
According to his vision, a few artillery pieces on the set were enough to sweep the world.
Originally, this step was to be carried out much later, but what the Japanese had to do made him have to advance it in advance.
Emperor Qianwu's mood calmed down a lot, and he thought for a while and said: "I heard that the speed of the warship of the Japanese is very fast, and the weight of your ironclad warship must be very amazing, I'm afraid that I can't catch up, do you want to land and fight?" If that's the case, I urge you to think again. ”
"As for speed, Father, you can rest assured, Erchen has installed a steam engine on the ironclad warship, and the speed is not comparable to that of the Japanese warship......"
Before Li Changfeng could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Emperor Qianwu.
"Can a steam engine still be installed on a warship?!"
"Of course, the steam engine is just a power take-off unit, and adding a propeller can make the boat move quickly, and the propeller is ...... Forget it, I can't tell this for a while, anyway, the speed is very fast, and the wooden boats that encounter the Japanese don't need to open fire, and they can be buried in the sea if they collide directly! ”
“…… Well, you don't have a plan for a landing operation, do you? ”
"No, Erchen just go and ask for the silver back, and let them compensate for the liquidated damages, Erchen still wants to continue to watch them and Goryeo stick dog-eat-dog."
"It's best if you think like that."
"Erchen wants to transfer some artillery to mount on the ship."
"Accurate!"
"And hot air balloons."
"Accurate!"
"Thank you, Father."
Emperor Qianwu waved his hand and said, "These will be yours in the future, you can call them at will, I only have one request!" ”
Li Changfeng chose the first half of Emperor Qianwu's sentence and asked, "What are the requirements?" ”
Emperor Qianwu said proudly: "Since you want to fight, then you must play the momentum of my great cadres and the majesty of my great cadres!" ”
Over the years, the Japanese have not infested the great cadres, and Emperor Qianwu has long been holding back a fire in his heart, and since Li Changfeng wants to go on an expedition, he must let out a bad breath.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Li Changfeng's mouth: "Father, don't worry, you will definitely teach the Japanese a bloody lesson!" ”
……
After leaving the palace, Li Changfeng went straight to the air base and found Li Jianye.
"Brother Jiu, why do you have time to come here, what a rare guest!" Li Jianye joked.
Li Changfeng didn't have the heart to joke with him, so he went straight to the point and said: "Do you want to go to war?" ”
Li Jianye was stunned for a moment, and then an astonishing look erupted in his eyes.
"Go!" Li Jianye cheered and said, "I train every day, I am almost suffocated to death, tell me quickly, who are you going to fight?!" ”
"Wako."
"Wol?! Great, I've wanted to hit them for a long time! ”
Next, Li Changfeng told Li Jianye about his plan.
He was the main general, and Li Jianye was the deputy general.
Fifty artillery pieces were mobilized, ten for each ironclad warship.
Twenty-five hot air balloons, five for each ironclad warship.
Five hundred musketeers, one hundred for each ironclad warship.
Li Changfeng handed over all the personnel deployment and material mobilization to Li Jianye to be responsible, and he sent people back to his home to hire a few big ships.
The overland journey was too long, and he didn't want to waste it.
Running down the waterway is the most time-saving.
Then Li Changfeng asked Bingbing and Xiaotong to prepare things for the road, and Chunni found them after hearing the news.
"I heard you're going to sea to fight?"
"yes, you don't want to go too, do you?"
"Of course!" Chunni nodded, her beautiful eyes full of antiquity, "I've never seen the sea before!" ”
"Okay, then you clean up and come with me tomorrow."
With such a powerful transcendent existence peer, Li Changfeng naturally couldn't ask for it, in case the damned Wako Kingdom also had an existence similar to the Amaterasu Great Temple, there would be a knife blocker.
"Good!"
Chunni left with a smile on his face, and his steps were much brisker.
Li Changfeng felt a little funny, he really looked like a child who had never seen the world.
It is said that it is an expedition, but in fact, it is to ask for silver.
So there was no big movement, and early the next morning, Li Changfeng quietly took everyone to board the ship and set off.
After they left the capital for half a day, the matter gradually spread in the capital, and everyone was a little crying and laughing.
"Damn the wolf, I really ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, the silver owed to anyone is not good, I have to owe the silver to His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes, now it depends on how they end."
"Obediently, it's really terrible, someone else wants to bring a knife to death, Your Highness is directly with artillery!"
"Judging from what His Highness did in the north at the beginning, I'm afraid it will be difficult to understand this matter if the Japanese invaders don't bleed much this time."
"The Japanese also deserve it, they have intruded on my Daqian Sea Realm all these years, just to teach them a lesson!"
"That's for sure, I heard that His Highness not only brought artillery, but also hot air balloons!"
“……”
Of course, there are also people who are dissatisfied.
"His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes, this is a public weapon for private use!"
"That's right, the artillery battalion, the musket battalion, and the air force are my main army, not his private army, how can they be used to ask for accounts for themselves?"
"Although I respect His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes, I still feel very sorry for him to do this!"
“……”
This kind of thing soon reached the ears of Emperor Qianwu, which gave him a little headache, so he had to ask Gao Dali to issue a notice, saying that Li Changfeng was responsible for all military expenses, and this move was also for military training.
But such a statement was not recognized, but more people noticed it because of this notice, and more people expressed dissatisfaction with Li Changfeng.
The situation had developed to such an extent that Emperor Qianwu simply let it go.
After all, compared to Li Changfeng's contributions, this is nothing at all.
Li Changfeng did not know anything about this, and the large ship loaded with soldiers' ammunition went down the river, and nine days later arrived at the shipyard in Nanhai Province, where his old acquaintance Zhou Jianbo led an army to greet him.
"Your Highness, we meet again!"
Li Changfeng was a little surprised: "General Zhou, why are you here?" ”
