"Ling'er, you and Little Brother Zhang will go to Xiangshan County tomorrow! There is a dart to be sent there!" After Ling Tian finished speaking to Ling Er, he asked Wufeng again, "I don't know what Little Brother Zhang thinks?"

"As long as Ling Er doesn't mind, it's fine!" Being able to get along with beautiful women, Wufeng naturally won't have any opinions. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As for Wufeng calling his daughter's name, Ling Tian didn't have much disgust, firstly, Wufeng saved his daughter today, and secondly, he was also very optimistic about Wufeng. It's just that Ling Er didn't expect that this prodigal son would shout "Miss Ling'er" in front of his father yesterday, and today he will directly call "Ling Er", then again, the two of them have only known each other for two days!

"Dad, what kind of dart is this!" Although some of them mind calling their names directly, Ling Er is even more concerned about tomorrow's dart.

If it was before, his father would never let himself dart. But Ling Er didn't know that the main reason for Ling Tian's change was because of what happened this morning, firstly, Ling Tian did not want his daughter to be attacked by the Wokou again, and secondly, Ling Er had the master of Wufeng by her side to protect her, even if she was no longer by Ling Er's side, there were people who could protect her.

"To be honest, this is an official dart entrusted by Lord Gao!" Ling Tian said.

Wufeng didn't know what the official dart was, so he couldn't plug it in. But Ling Er was very curious and asked, "Hasn't the official dart always been escorted by the government itself?"

For the materials of the imperial court, the imperial court has always arranged the escort of officers and soldiers by itself, and basically there is no need to entrust it to the private dart bureau.

"I don't know the specific reason, but according to Lord Gao, it seems that the officers and soldiers of the Xunzhou Mansion are not enough, and Lord Gao also wants to cover up the darts by handing over the darts to us this time!" Ling Tian explained.

After listening to Ling Tian's explanation, Ling Er suddenly realized: "I see!"

"What is this dart?" Wufeng felt that this dart was not simple, otherwise Gao Shou would not have made such an arrangement.

Although it is said that in order to deal with the Japanese invaders, a lot of troops are needed, but it is not so much that even dozens of officers and soldiers who sent darts cannot be found!

"It's just a batch of firearms!" The firearms of the Ming Empire have undergone nearly two hundred years of development, and have basically been used in large-scale equipment in the army. Ling Tian paused and then said: "I heard that the Franc machine from the West committed a crime in Xiangshan County, but the consumption of firearms and ammunition was too great, so the county commander of Xiangshan County asked for support from Lord Gao through the prefect of Guangzhou. “

Xiangshan County is a place under the administration of the Guangzhou Prefecture, and it stands to reason that it has nothing to do with the Xunzhou Prefecture. However, recently, due to several battles with the Francophiles from the West, the firearms in Xiangshan County's inventory have been consumed too much. Since it was a war at sea, the use of swords was not advantageous at all. And because the Xunzhou government has been guarding against Japanese invaders for a long time, the firearms in its inventory are several times that of the Guangzhou government.

"Dad, aren't the firearms in Xiangshan County enough to deal with a few Western devils?" Ling Er asked puzzled.

In her impression, although Westerners have also mastered some firearms technology, it should not be enough to compare with the firearms technology of the Ming Empire. Even if these Westerners really had to enter and exit firearms that were more advanced than those of the Ming Empire, what could they do? Could it be that the number of firearms could be more than that of a county town in the Ming Empire?

"I learned from the mouth of Master Gao that although these Franc machine people don't have many firearms, they can quickly load shells!" Although they think that the firearms technology of the Ming Empire is the best in the world, and the Western firearms technology is still taught from the Ming Empire. But after Ling Tian learned that he really wanted to, he still had to admit the ingenuity of these Franc machine people, Ling Tian said a little helplessly: "Although Xiangshan County currently has several times the firearms and dozens of times the strength of the Franc machine people, but these cunning Franc machine people have been wandering at sea. ”

After listening to Ling Tian's words, Wufeng finally understood why Xiangshan County couldn't defeat these Francophone people. Because the enemy's firearms could carry out continuous shelling, the ships naturally carried fewer artillery. Moreover, the Franco-Robot has always been able to attack Xiangshan County at sea anytime and anywhere, but it is obviously impossible for Xiangshan County to protect all the coast with the troops it has.

According to Ling Tian's description, in fact, these Franc people had already come to Xiangshan County once a few years ago. It is said that at that time, these Franc people took a fancy to a piece of land in Xiangshan County and wanted to build a port there. Although Xiangshan County had agreed to the lease request of these Franc Machinemen, these Franc Machines were later expelled by Xiangshan County because they refused to pay the rent many times.

Unexpectedly, these Franc machine people have made a comeback recently, and they seem to be very confident.

Although Wufeng has always lived a reclusive life, he suddenly remembered that the Ming Empire seemed to have an invincible sea force. Wufeng hurriedly asked, "Senior Ling, don't we still have a Great Ming Water Master?"

The Ming Dynasty is a maritime force established since Taizu, once Ming Chengzu sent the Three Treasures eunuch Zheng He to the West many times to show off our country's prestige, and in later generations developed the prestige of all countries to come to the court. Although Wufeng's understanding of the sea power of the Daming Sailor is mostly from the records of books, it seems that the Daming Sailor has not tasted defeat in Wufeng's impression.

"Although the Great Ming Water Master has not tasted defeat since Taizu, he is not easy to go south. When Ling Tian mentioned the Great Ming Water Master, he couldn't help but feel proud in his heart. even said a little proudly: "Although the Daming Sailor does not go south easily, Xiangshan County also has its own official ship!"

Like Xunzhou Prefecture, Xiangshan County is also a coastal city, and since it is often attacked by Japanese pirates, it is natural that there are also official ships used to exterminate Japanese pirates at sea. However, this time, the Franco-Rang people who came from the West were obviously prepared, and the firearms they used were also improved on the basis of the Daming firearms. It's just that the official ships equipped with ordinary firearms are obviously not the opponents of the Francophone people, but it is more convenient to transfer a batch of firearms and equipment from the nearby Xunzhou capital in Xiangshan County than to dispatch the Daming Naval Division from the north to the south.

After all, in the eyes of the imperial court, even if a mere Westerner has a firearm that is more advanced than the Ming Empire, there is nothing to fear. After all, this is the territory of the Ming Empire, and it is impossible for the Francophiles with only a few hundred people and a few warships to seize half an inch of the Ming Empire by force.

However, the Ming Empire has always valued peace, and if these Francophiles are willing to obediently pay enough rent and compensation, the imperial court will definitely lease the land to them.
