Shen Wansan shook his head, but followed Qin Yun silently.

He regretted not being at the beginning, but on the one hand, he was happy with his daughter, and on the other hand, he was old and had a son, and the bloodline inheritance of the Shen family depended on that kid.

Looking at Shen Wansan's thumping chest, Qin Yun felt both angry and funny.

But one thing to say, although Shen Wansan didn't do it authentically this time, before, especially when Qin Yun went to Luochuan in a poor and white way, Shen Wansan still made a difference.

He didn't mean to kill this old man with one shot, besides, the Shen family's energy and connections were the things he lacked the most, so in terms of feelings and interests.

Shen Wansan is the object that Qin Yun must woo.

As for why he has been locked up for nearly a month? The reason is very simple, Qin Yun is protecting him.

Since Qin Zheng would arrange for someone to assassinate him in the capital, and Shen Wansan came to Qiongzhou and returned to the capital, how could he go back safe and sound.

Think about it from another perspective, send someone to kill Shen Wansan on the way, and blame Qin Yun, so that you can not only get the resources of the Shen family, but also let Shen Yue and him deviate.

It's just that this old guy is blindsided, and he only thinks that the emperor Lao Tzu supports him Qin Zheng, and this world is Qin Zheng's?

Therefore, Qin Yun pulled him out just to open his eyes.

A short time later, the steam car stopped in front of the school grounds.

"Lord Wang, the drill is ready, please instruct!"

Zhao Kun bowed forward to report.

Qin Yun said with a smile: "Try the artillery fire first!" ”

"No!"

With Zhao Kun's order, nearly 100 wheeled shore defense guns shot at the target ship at sea, with a deafening sound, a column of water rising into the sky, and a splash of sand and gravel......

For a time, the school field was filled with gunsmoke and full of fighting spirit.

William and the others were dumbfounded.

"This ...... What is this?"

"The reappearance of thunder, is it divine punishment?"

Saying that, George knelt on the ground and prayed incessantly: "Lord Almighty, your servant has an upright and kind heart, preaching your gospel, and I swear that I will never peep at the nun bathing......"

"Lord, godly James prays to you......"

William looked at his two uninformed servants with a dark face, and he scolded them to get up.

"It's a useless thing, this should be the famous gunpowder!"

Of course, he said so, but his legs and stomach were weak, this cannon fell, and the stumps and broken arms didn't even want to stay!

"Lord Wang, are these all your troops?"

Qin Yun smiled: "Of course not, these are just some of the forces of the Qiongzhou Border Guard Regiment." Elsewhere, there are hundreds of thousands of troops like this. ”

bragging and not wanting money, Qin Yun came as soon as he opened his mouth.

William's face turned pale: "Count...... Several hundred thousand? ”

"Lord Wang, you have so many troops, aren't you the conqueror of this eastern country."

"In our West, these armies are enough to sweep through a small country. Forgive my ignorance and foolishness! ”

Qin Yun smiled: "This is nothing?" William, you just said the legendary gunpowder? ”

"Why, when did gunpowder enter the Western world?"

William knew he had said the wrong thing.

"Don't blame the prince, these are all told to us by the Hu people in the Western Regions, about half a year ago, a tribe of Hu people who were defeated from the Western Regions appeared in the Western world."

"It was they who brought the legend of the mysterious black potion of the East."

Qin Yun squinted: "Half a year ago? ”

Half a year ago, he was still on the battlefield of Luochuan, and the one who had seen the power of gunpowder was none other than Liu Jiangong, as well as the Mercy Sect at that time.

Qin Yun asked again, "Have you ever seen anything similar?" ”

William paused: "They called it the Heaven-Shaking Thunder, saying that this thing was the work of the God of Thunder, and the Holy See also showed it to be a heresy, and sent the Knights to fight the defeated caravan." ”

"But the Knights have suffered a heavy blow!"

Qin Yun's eyes froze, Thunder God, earth-shattering thunder? He always felt that there might be acquaintances in it.

Who is it?

Could it be a martial hero?

After all, when the martial hero went back, he took some sky-shattering thunder and flintlock pistols with him.

Qin Yun shook his head and ignored it again.

There is a saying that is right, one step behind, one step behind, what if the West enters the Age of Discovery, and then I don't know who will rob whom?

Qin Yun quipped: "Sir William, now you can tell me the purpose of your coming to Qiongzhou, don't give this king any words like preaching, otherwise this king will let you know what cruelty is!" ”

William paused, and he looked at the young king cautiously.

In his mind, kings are the kind of old dragon clocks, drunk and drunk in wine and lavish palaces all day long.

It was the first time he had seen such a king dressed in military uniform and ready to cut people at any time.

William knew that in front of the lion, he should be obedient like a rabbit.

He knelt on the ground and kissed Qin Yun's boots.

"Honorable King of the East, William has come to seek allies and trading partners."

Qin Yun smiled: "Let's talk about it, what's going on?" ”

William began to speak slowly.

It turned out that the Western world at this time had just experienced a round of the Black Death, but this disease shook the stable theocratic kingdom in a sense.

Nominally obedient to the Pope, nations have begun to show their fangs, and stories of various seafaring adventures have spread in the Western world.

The kingdoms of the West also began a round of the era of the king of navigation,

Now there are two hegemons on the sea in the Western world, one is the Rhine Alliance led by the Francois and the Monroe Alliance led by the Noble States.

The two sides competed over maritime trade and land trade, and the flames of war burned from the west to the east.

Wars, business, colonization, wars, and business, and so on and on.

According to William, the Rhine and Monroe alliances had already established colonial rule in the Horn of Africa, the Indian Peninsula, and had even extended their tentacles to the Luzon Islands.

However, in the last decade, the Monroe League has produced a great emperor, Solomon the Conqueror. Under his leadership, the Rhine League retreated, and even the silk caravans sent to the East were blocked.

William was a child who had learned the knowledge and culture of the East, and was appointed to seek the support of the Eastern Nation.

William's request was very simple, he got it from Qin Yun, silk, tea and porcelain, and of course, now he also attached a gunpowder.

After listening to William's narration, a clear map of the world emerged in Qin Yun's mind.

Unexpectedly, the fertile farmland in the Himalayas that crops three times a year has been touched by this group of Hongyi people.

That was the big granary in the territory of the future empire that Qin Yun envisioned.

Qin Yun asked, "You need these, so what can your Rhine Alliance bring to this king?" ”

William took out some enamel, jewelry, and crystal stones from the sack.

"We are willing to provide these rare jewels for the prince!"

William looked forward to it for a year, after all, as far as he knew, the people of the East liked this shiny thing, they were like the legendary dragons.

But just when William thought that he would see the expression that Qin Yun had no choice but to get, Qin Yun's face sank.

"You're going to fool the king with all this?"

William: "Ah?!! ”

Qin Yun snorted coldly: "What's the difference between these things and glass, they are all silica. Think about it, what else is practical. ”

William paused: "Gold and silver, and copper?"

Qin Yun smiled: "That's right, don't use these things to fool people in the future, I want tea, but I have one condition." ”

William was overjoyed: "What conditions?" ”

Qin Yun: "That is, you are not allowed to do business with the Fusang people from now on, and you must tell this king where Fusang's fleet appears." ”

William was stunned, in fact, he didn't tell the truth, they had already gotten samples of gunpowder from Fuso merchants.

With the technology accumulated in the industrial reform, it is not very difficult to reproduce.

Fuso has always been one of the most important eastern trading partners of the Leso-British Union.

"Lord Wang, please forgive me for not agreeing, unless you can sell it to us at a lower price, this is the rule of the free market."

Qin Yun sneered: "Rules? Fusang's ships in Luzon have to pass through the waters under the jurisdiction of our Qiongzhou, and without the permission of the king, no ship should want to appear in Luzon intact. ”

"Go back and tell your chief that if you want to do business with this king, come with sincerity."

"Zhao Kun found them a boat to Luzon."

"Yes, Lord Wang!"

Seeing Qin Yun just let go of these deviant red-haired ghosts, Shen Wansan was angry.

"Why did you let them go, they might be spies!"

Qin Yun smiled and shook his head: "The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, whether they are spies or spies, they really want to talk about business cooperation." ”

"Friends come with good wine, enemies come with guns, I am self-reliant, why are you afraid of Xiaoxiao?"

Shen Wansan: "You're not afraid, they see your powerful weapons and equipment, and they will reproduce them when they go back?" ”

Qin Yun laughed: "Lord Shen, then you can't help but underestimate the ability of my Qiongzhou Ministry of Industry, so that you can see that you will always be backward!" ”

At this time, there was a sudden roar in the sky, and Qin Yun looked up and saw that his eyes lit up.

"Lord Shen, do you want to go to heaven?"

Shen Wansan was furious: "Qin Yun, you curse the old man!" ”

Qin Yun quipped: "Lord Shen, aren't you old, didn't you give birth to a little cub?" ”

Shen Wansan: "Qin Yun, if you have something to say, just say it, don't be weird!" ”

Qin Yun smiled and said, "It just so happens that Commander Hong is also here, do you still have to do what you promised in the prison last month?" ”

Shen Wansan looked at Qin Yun vigilantly: "What's the matter, your food is too poor, I forgot!" ”

Qin Yun's heart sank, this old thing had made a bet with him before that if he could win the Ryukyus, he would give him the network of millions of Cao Gong's connections.

Now he actually wants to play tricks, Qin Yun is not used to it.

"Zhao Kun, go to the weapon test site immediately."

"Lord Shen hopes that later, I can let you recover."

Shen Wansan looked at Qin Yun vigilantly.

"What are you going to do? Don't come here, I'm the head of the court! ”

"Hong Haoxuan, aren't you here to protect the old man? You're a Jinyi Guard, just watch? ”

Hong Haoxuan looked at the muzzles of the black holes around him.

"Lord Shen, you just listen to His Royal Highness King Liang, I think His Royal Highness King Liang should not harm you!"

Shen Wansan: "I ......"

Shen Wansan wanted to say something, but Qin Yun had already pulled his sleeve and got on the steam car.

Not long after, everyone came to the weapon banquet hall, and at this time, Lu Ban and Zhutieling were excited, and saw Qin Yun coming.

"Lord Wang, we succeeded, really succeeded!"

Qin Yun smiled: "Okay, please invite this Shen Shangshu, Lord Shen to visit the sky!" ”
