Big Ear Thief Selling Straw Sandals

Chapter 135 "Maller Gobi" and "Convincing People with Virtue"

When Sun Jian and Zhou Yu conspired to seize Guangling, a super-large three-masted fast-sailing warship was launched into the tank of the Yongzhou Navy in Kuaiji Military Port.

The Minglunhai captain was ten feet long, the Xia-class three-masted warship was twelve feet long, and the new Shang-class three-masted warship was an unprecedented fifteen feet long.

The flagship of the Yongzhou Navy, the Overlord!

Xia Houyuan, Cai He, Cao Ang, and Cao Wan who came to watch the ceremony all looked at the towering main mast and were so shocked that they could not speak.

How rich is Zhi Jinwu?
Gan Ning and Ji Ling's faces were ugly. Compared with the Bawang, the three battleships of the Royal Navy turned into garbage.

The big-eared thief is really crazy!
However, a more shocking scene appeared.

The gantry crane straddling the tank sent the bronze cannons to the Overlord one by one.

The Leigong II bronze artillery was successfully trial-produced in Shangjun, and it was compressed to [-] kilograms, so it could only be lifted and shipped.

At the entrance of the cargo hold, a large number of laborers carried in countless wooden boxes, which were filled with gunpowder and shells.

Gan Ning didn't know what was carried on the gantry crane, but Ji Ling had seen Leigong Pao in Dongdu.

Counting, there are eighteen gates in total.

Imagine a duel with each other at sea, and the bones of this Royal Navy lieutenant are filled with cold air.

This is not a battle, it is a complete massacre!

Seeing Ji Ling's pale face, Gan Ning was very curious.

"Brother Ji, what is that?"

"Cannon! Loaded with gunpowder and shells, it can hit a thousand steps away. Eighteen are crazy, crazy!"

"Thousands of steps away? This is also"

Gan Ning was also taken aback, the ballista on the Xia-class battleship could hit [-] paces, he thought it was awesome.

But the range of their attack has soared to a thousand steps, which is too exaggerated.

Ji Ling smiled wryly and said, "What's a thousand steps? According to reports from the Yongzhou Army, some people have seen it, and the longest distance can be two or three thousand steps."

Gan Ning also anticipated the scene that Ji Ling had imagined, and couldn't help clicking his tongue: "Then, there is no more to play."

The Yizhou Navy, Xiahou Cai, Cao Cao, and others also pointed at Longmen.

"Director Cai, that is"

After careful identification, Cao Ang answered Cai He's Second Uncle Xiahou: "Second Uncle, it's Leigong Pao, with [-] guns. It's really bold!"

Xia Houyuan and Cai He's eyes narrowed immediately.

The rumored Leigong Pao that "corroded eight hundred miles in one shot"?
Cannon on board?

A salvo of guns?

Not only is it invincible in naval battles, but even all coastal towns have to kneel.

With such a wonderful idea, how did Zhi Jinwu grow his heart?

Cai He took a deep breath, looked at the three major navy divisions again, and an indescribable emotion came to his mind.

The Royal Navy has three battleships and six supply cargo ships, the weakest.

The Yizhou navy has four warships and eight supply cargo ships, ranking second.

The Yongzhou navy has five warships and twelve supply cargo ships, which are the top.

Now, with the addition of another Shang-class Bawang artillery battleship, only one can easily destroy the three major fleets. The gap is too great.

Cao Wan obviously didn't realize the problem, and was still amazed.

"Brother, let's build a Bawang too! How magnificent! Isn't it?"

Cao Ang said helplessly: "Well, that, for the time being, can't be made."

Cao Wan tugged on her elder brother's sleeve, and asked unconvinced: "Why can't it be done, let my father spend more money. Otherwise, the Yongzhou Navy will beat the Yizhou Navy by a head, no, it's a lot!"

The two adults looked at each other without saying a word.

The Bawang is not just a question of money. The bigger the seagoing ship, the more problems that will arise during the construction process.

In fact, SF Dockyard has the best shipbuilding team, and Yizhou Dockyard has not figured out the core technology of the Bawang for the time being, so it is unable to achieve corner overtaking.

The Yongzhou Navy established a shipbuilding bureau, and Xu Jiu and other master craftsmen obtained the official positions of generals. Although the titles are false, the benefits and benefits are real.

Aside from issues such as technical structure, the same is true for Leigong artillery. In terms of casting the gun body and the ratio of gunpowder, the Yongzhou Arsenal has been stuck.

"So, the Overlord cannot be piled up with money alone!"

Cai He's mouth was full of bitterness, and he felt very helpless.

"Ha, what Cai Shuai said is not authentic! I just received the news from Dongdu that the sale of artillery and gunpowder has been released, and the neck is no longer there."

At some point, Zhang Cheng came near the four of them, laughing and teasing Cai He and Cao Ang.

Being caught on the spot, Xia Houyuan and Caihe were a little better, but the young Cao Ang and Cao Wan were not so thick-skinned, and immediately blushed.

Cai He's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Mr. Zhang, what is the price of gunpowder?"

"Leigong Type 5000 is 1 taels, Leigong Type 20 is [-] taels, and standard gunpowder is [-] taels per pack; as for the shells, one or three taels, this thing is not complicated, and it is more cost-effective for you to make it yourself."

Xia Houyuan, Cai He, and Cao Ang knew the power of artillery and thought the price was fair.

Cao Wan on the side opened her mouth wide in surprise, and blurted out, "It costs 23 taels of silver to fire a cannon? Isn't it too expensive?"

23 taels of silver can buy [-] catties of rice grains, which is enough for [-] or [-] years based on the daily ration of five catties for a family of five.

Zhang Cheng glanced at the eldest lady of the Cao family with a smile, and said, "Miss Wan has a kind heart, and her fortune will last forever."

Cao Ang pointed to the cannon on the Longmen Crane and asked, "Boss Zhang, so it's the Thunder God Type II?"

Zhang Cheng was awarded the temporary position of the Nanyang General Manager, in charge of all the affairs of the Yongzhou Navy's conquest of Nanyang, and had the right to do things cheaply.

The other two naval divisions are regarded as auxiliary and friendly forces, so in fact, they also have to fully cooperate with Zhang Cheng's decision-making.

In the past few years, Liu Bei's wealth has skyrocketed, and Zhang Cheng has contributed a lot.

According to the agreement in the early years, Liu Bei hinted that Zhang Cheng would have a chance to break the earth and become the king. This time, the transfer from the executive director of Huitong Bank to the general manager is the first step in the plan.

"Well, Type I weighs [-] kilograms, and the recoil is too strong. Type II weighs [-] kilograms, and the Bawang can barely withstand it."

Cao Ang joked suddenly: "No wonder Uncle Shi gave Fatty Dong so many cannons."

Zhang Cheng laughed, and said: "Anyway, people go out to fight for the country, and if they have money, they can contribute their strength. It is the duty of every big man. The rise and fall of the country is everyone's responsibility!"

Cao Ang's eyes lit up, he raised his thumb and praised: "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country! High, really high!"

Zhang Cheng hurriedly explained: "I can't say such a thing, it's the Zhijinwu who sees thousands of miles from the top!"

Although Cai He had a strong desire to build a commercial-class Bawang, he was running out of time. He knew very well that it took nearly half a year for the Bawang to be launched, and it would take more than four months to build another one.

What's more, we will go out tomorrow, and we can only wait until we return from Nanyang.

After watching the ceremony, the two sailors left one after another, and Zhang Cheng boarded the Bawang.

The coolie class moved up and down, and the sailors placed various utensils step by step. The interior cabin was crowded with people, and the Thunder God II artillery was being installed to the designated gun positions one after another.

In order to minimize the recoil of the guns, all the guns are fixed on the sliding gun mounts.

Lieutenant Gao Jin of the Artillery Army was impatiently kicking his subordinates and cursing viciously.

"You idiot! You can't even memorize the drills, you're an ass? It's from Mahler Gobi, next time you do it again, I'll knock your sand tank!"

After the other party finished training, Zhang Cheng went over to say hello with a smile.

"Wen Zhong, are you busy?"

Gao Jin turned his head, and immediately became more behaved. He laughed and said, "Here comes the Chief Manager. I'm just messing around. Talk to me if you have something to do."

"Well, what do you mean by 'knocking sand jars'?"

Gao Jin was at a loss for words for a moment, and it took him a while to confess: "I have to ask the lord, the general finds it very exciting to talk about."

He defended himself again, pointing at his subordinates and sighing: "This group of guys, Lian Zilong doesn't have all of them. It's really worse than the next generation! It's impossible not to keep an eye on them."

Zhang Cheng smiled, the protagonist spoke nonsense and was often imitated by the soldiers, which fully proved Liu Bei's charm and cohesion.

"Be safe and don't be impatient! My lord has a knife mouth and a bean curd heart, you must convince others with virtue!"

Gao Jin immediately turned into a chicken and ate rice: "Yes, yes, yes, the end will convince people with certain virtues from now on!"

Knowing that all artillery can be adjusted tonight, Zhang Cheng left the gun cabin.

As soon as the chief executive left, Gao Jin kicked another artilleryman who was not operating properly.

Someone laughed and said, "Didn't the high school lieutenant say that he should convince others with virtue?"

Gao Jin asked straightforwardly: "Male Gobi, isn't martial virtue virtue?"

In the heart of the artilleryman, it was like killing a dog within a radius of ten miles.

If it weren't for the [-]% increase in the salary of the naval artillery and the fact that they could still eat seafood every day, ghosts would come here.

Zhang Cheng went to the deck and boarded the high bow.

Looking down at the military port, the stars are arching the moon, and hundreds of ships are bowing their heads, and the pride in their hearts is full.

When the wind blows and the clouds fly, Vega will return to his hometown!
