Chapter 183 You have science, I have magical power (Part )

Build a cannon?

The missionary from Spain was stunned by the questioning of Gu Changfeng, the naval governor of the Ming Dynasty.

But then he reacted.

Facing Gu Changfeng's gaze, the missionary nodded and said, "Sir, I can make cannons."

As soon as these words came out, Gu Changfeng and several other senior navy officials present were surprised.

Originally, this question was just a subconscious inquiry from Gu Changfeng, with the intention of clearing up the trouble, but he did not expect that this missionary really had this ability.

At this moment, Gu Changfeng couldn't help but widen his eyes and looked at the other person up and down. He was such a talent.

These missionaries who are able to travel thousands of miles to China, apart from missionary work, are also talents.

Matteo Ricci is like this.

So is this guy.

The development of artillery in the imperial court has been delayed due to various reasons, and now it shows signs of falling behind.

This is one of the reasons why the current Holy Father sent Dongchangchang Gong Gu Jinfu to be responsible for purchasing gunboats from the Spanish.

Seeing that the missionary had such ability, Gu Changfeng was very satisfied.

Although there is a conflict with Dongchang, the missionary in his hands may be more important than the Spanish General Gulie.

He understands the difference between buying and mastering technology.

Gu Changfeng decided to help the other party build cannons.

"it is good."

"You do something for me."

"I will provide you with the convenience of preaching and even take you to the capital to see Matteo Ricci's former residence."

With the decision made, Gu Changfeng directly showed off the majesty of Jinyiwei Qianhu, without giving the other party a chance to refuse, and directly made the arrangement.

Even in Gu Changfeng's mind, he was ready for the name of the cannon to be built.

Since he is from Xiyi and has red hair, like an evil ghost, then the cannon he made is a Hongyi cannon.

Originally, the missionary deliberately refused, but after hearing the following words, thinking about it carefully and realizing that he had understood correctly, he immediately made a decision.

"My Excellency, Herman has met your Excellency."

Following the records that Matteo Ricci spread back to Europe, and what he learned along the way, the missionary named Hermann, with the intention of doing as the Romans do when he comes to his hometown, performed a bowing ceremony with great respect.

Not only that, the missionary Herman also gave Gu Changfeng a gift.

A short blunderbuss made of luxurious ivory.

Missionary Herman brought two short muskets, and now he took out one and gave it directly to Gu Changfeng.

In fact, when they were on the road, a group of Spanish senior officials who came to China had made preparations and obtained corresponding financial resources to prepare for bribes.

At this moment, missionary Herman chose to take action and gave a big gift.

"……Um?"

"Firegun!"

Gu Changfeng narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw this. He was not too surprised that the other party was carrying a firearm. Compared with the anger of others, Gu Changfeng didn't care much.

Because of this kind of thing, when facing Gu Changfeng, the other party had no chance to take action.

Compared with cannons, the threat posed by firecrackers is too small.

Relatively speaking, the current firecrackers may not be able to compete with bows and arrows. Once they are close, they are weaker than the archers and are far less powerful than the cannons.

It is for this reason that the development of firecrackers is even worse than that of artillery.

Therefore, tens of thousands of fire guns were copied and manufactured, but no in-depth research and development was carried out.

It's not that the army doesn't have fire blunderbuss, it just doesn't have short blunderbuss.

So holding it in his hand, Gu Changfeng knew how to use this weapon.

After spinning the short blunderbuss in the palm of his hand and playing with it for a while, he pointed slightly towards the pillar in front with the short blunderbuss, lit the match and fired with a bang, then white smoke enveloped him. Looking at the projectile embedded in the pillar, Gu Changfeng had already made a decision in his heart.

It is possible for ordinary soldiers, but for experts, only sneak attacks without anyone noticing are possible.

After signaling the visitor to take the missionary Herman down to make arrangements, Gu Changfeng decided to write a secret letter and instead of taking the general route, he planned to directly arrange for the Jin Yiwei to be sent to the Holy Master.

However, Gu Changfeng's surprise only lasted less than two days. On the third day, he received the biggest shock in his life.

This Jiangnan Navy camp is about to welcome its true owner.

……

"This navy is considered an elite soldier."

Hei Baizi, who accompanied Ding Chunqiu, finally returned here again, pointing to the huge camp in front of him. Hei Baizi pointed out that the Jiangnan Navy was a rare and powerful force at present.

The reason for this is that the vast majority of warriors and soldiers performed poorly when faced with Japanese pirate attacks.

Under the collision, they collapsed thousands of miles apart.

Even at certain times, a team of hundreds of ronin can break through the county town.

With such a performance, it can be said that the black and white who were reorganizing the information on Jiangnan were dumbfounded.

I just feel that the current performance is really far from the armament in my impression.

Ding Chunqiu was not surprised by this problem.

On the contrary, I felt that Dongfang Bubai had some rebellious thoughts before. In addition to furthering her future martial arts, it was not only the cooperation with the Jiangnan clan, but also the lack of military equipment of the imperial court.

They are no longer the great soldiers they once were.

The reason for this situation is that there is not enough food and salary.

As for the money and food, they were corrupted by others, and even the weapons were outdated.

After all, it’s only a little bit of a month, so why are you playing with your life?

So much so that there is a saying that an army that is not satisfied with its pay will be invincible if it is fully paid.

"..."

Ding Chunqiu looked at the camp in front of him expressionlessly. Looking at the orderly queue inside, he knew that this naval force was already considered powerful.

It can be said that the Jiangnan Navy in front of us will be the treasure of the imperial court.

That was the self-forbidden sea. Since Zheng He, the imperial court had destroyed the shipbuilding blueprints and sealed the shipyards. After self-abandonment of maritime power, the current emperor had managed to rebuild his family fortune over the years.

As for this family fortune, there are still many people who are ambitiously trying to destroy it and destroy it.

In the story, he was destroyed, but if this navy fell into his hands, it would be of great use.

"Little junior brother."

Yue Lingshan received a new message. After opening it and taking a look, she stepped forward and whispered: "There was an accident."

"?"

Surprised, Ding Chunqiu took the envelope handed over by Yue Lingshan. It was a message sent from Heimu Cliff by flying pigeon, and it was written by his second senior brother Laudeno.

After reading the content of the letter clearly, Ding Chunqiu was also slightly surprised.

"Gunboat?"

"The gunboat purchased by Chaotang and Spain... is almost in Dongchang's hands?"

"Dongchang Changgong's blessings in the past and present?"

Ding Chunqiu really didn't remember this matter deeply enough, but he immediately realized it.

After Dongfang Invincible reached cooperation with the Jiangnan clan, the gunboats that the Sun Moon God Sect robbed at the beginning were the gunboats handed over by Dongchang and the Netherlands and Spain.

This information was discovered by Laudno only now due to the time difference.

It turned out that Dongfang Bubai's confidants were responsible for this matter.

The reason why the second senior brother Laudno sent this flying pigeon letter was to ask whether to continue the previous plan of Dongfang Bubai, and hijack the gunboat along the way.

"It doesn't matter whether the ship was robbed or not."

"The most important thing are those on board from both countries."

"God is really helping me!"

After handing the envelope to junior sister Yue Lingshan, Ding Chunqiu made a decision.

Sarutobi Sun and Moon brought Ding Chunqiu the way to Fuso, and then the people from the Netherlands and Spain would open the way to the West for him Ding Chunqiu.

After finishing the reply, Yue Lingshan thought for a while, but couldn't help but couldn't help but asked the question: "Junior brother." "Where are the so-called foreign countries of Holland and Spain?"

same.

Zhao Sihai, Zhang Jingchao and Sima De, the three eunuchs, also looked at Ding Chunqiu with clear eyes like Yue Lingshan.

For a long time, everyone has been wandering around in a place like the Central Plains Jianghu, fighting with each other.

It wasn't until I followed the leader Ding Chunqiu that I opened my horizons, jumped out of the Zhongyuan arena, and jumped out of my original comfort zone.

Fuso and the others knew about it, but the Netherlands and Spain didn't understand it at all.

His eyes darkened when he heard this.

Ding Chunqiu glanced around and saw the obvious lack of knowledge among the people.

However, Hei Baizi, one of the four friends of Meizhuang, was very surprised.

Heiheizi explained to a group of church members who had little knowledge that the approximate location of the Netherlands and Spain was the far west, a place that once belonged to the Qin Dynasty in the West.

The people who heard this suddenly realized what they were saying, and their expressions showed that this was the case.

Hei Baizi was quite excited about the changes in other people's expressions.

In the Sun and Moon Sect, the four friends of Meizhuang and Naquyang can be said to be the intellectual and cultural responsibilities of the sect.

At this moment, Black and White might not be as good as his opponent in terms of force, but he had a condescending sense of superiority in terms of knowledge.

Although after knowing the general location of the two countries, others did not pay too much attention.

Yue Lingshan, on the other hand, was thoughtful.

"Let's go."

"It's time to meet Gu Changfeng, the governor of the Jiangnan Navy, and take over the army that belongs to me."

"Let's start as planned."

Seeing that everyone changed their mood, Ding Chunqiu directly issued the order.

Then he walked out first and stepped directly into the navy camp.

In the camp, there is a large tent of the Chinese army.

Gu Changfeng was very happy after the missionary named Held showed sufficient skill in making cannons. I just feel like good things are coming.

Once the gunboat returns from Dongchang, Gu Changfeng can launch an encirclement and suppression campaign against the Japanese pirates.

Destroy these guys' stronghold on the island and completely wipe out these rogues.

By then, the people along the coast will have a clear future.

Just when Gu Changfeng was thinking about this wonderful future, he suddenly froze. Inexplicable cold sweat couldn't help but appear on his back, and dense beads of sweat appeared on his forehead unconsciously.

"Ok?"

"Who are you?"

Because at some point, three strangers appeared in the Chinese army's tent.

One man and two women.

The leading young man among them is unparalleled in handsomeness and can be called the reincarnation of Pan An.

Even though Gu Changfeng is a man, he can't help but be moved.

On the contrary, the girls who looked like twins following the young man were not so concerning.

These three people seemed to suddenly appear out of thin air.

Especially when these three people were still looking around at the Chinese army tent with appreciative eyes.

Gu Changfeng knew that the other party was evil.

Subconsciously, Gu Changfeng had already activated his skills to prepare for any eventuality.

not bad.

Looking back, Ding Chunqiu saw that although Ding Chunqiu had never seen other military generals in this world, Gu Changfeng's army tent seemed to be doing very well.

Maybe Gu Changfeng didn't have enough experience in water fighting, but he definitely came from a family of generals.

And it’s from the navy.

As expected, Gu Changfeng took out the family heirloom.

"Are you Gu Changfeng?"

Ding Chunqiu turned around and looked up and down at the manly man in front of him, with his tall and straight posture and his heroic aura.

There is a hint of Guan Gong's style.

"I'm just here to see my own navy."

Waving his hand, Ding Chunqiu looked like he was walking at night in splendid clothes for a private visit.

"absurd!"

Gu Changfeng was furious when he heard this. Although he did not understand who the other party was, at this moment Gu Changfeng knew that these three people were traitors.

Seeking to seize military power is a serious crime of treason.

The three tribes were destroyed by barbarians.

After the words fell, Gu Changfeng suppressed his emotions and took action.

He decided to capture these three people and conduct severe interrogation.

As soon as he takes action, it explodes with all his strength.

Seeing Gu Changfeng take action, Ding Chunqiu determined the opponent's current level of strength at a glance.

He is considered a master.

With the power of a Songshan Taibao, he is at the forefront of the Songshan Sect.

Among the Five Mountains Sword Sect, I am afraid that the strength is only lower than Yue Buqun who has not practiced the Thirteen Qingfeng Styles and Zuo Lengchan who has not practiced the evil-repelling sword technique.

Then... Gu Changfeng was nothing more.

Without passing a single move, the dignified Jinyi Guards Qianhu and Jiangnan Navy Governor Gu Changfeng became prisoners.

"???"

His knees were pressed to the ground. Gu Changfeng's face showed no anger at humiliation at this moment, only a look of confusion and confusion on his face.

How did I lose?

After being confused for a long time, Gu Changfeng looked at the young man sitting on his general's seat and suddenly said: "Are you from the Jianghu?"

Although Gu Changfeng's tone was doubtful, his expression was positive.

He couldn't help but feel furious.

It is true that a chivalrous man breaks the law with force.

This ban actually reaches the level of rebellion.

Without waiting for Ding Chunqiu's answer, Gu Changfeng confirmed the identities of these three people. When anger surged in his heart, Gu Changfeng quickly found a solution.

He decided to use the formula of Junfu's destiny to explain to the other party, even infer the other party's accent to guess the sect, and use the terrible consequences of treason to break the other party's mind and emotions.

Just when Gu Changfeng was about to speak, he heard a loud bang outside, and then a roar came through the air and fell directly towards the Chinese army's tent.

"!!!"

"cannon!"

The words in his throat changed completely. Gu Changfeng was horrified. How could it be?

Subconsciously, Gu Changfeng struggled to get up, preparing to avoid it.

It's a pity that he was pinned to the ground by Yue Lingshan's divine power and couldn't move. He had no choice but to show a look of despair.

Faced with this situation, Ding Chunqiu's expression remained unchanged, but he turned his head slightly and looked in the direction of the gunfire.

Then, the figure moved and stood in front of them.

When the cannonball broke through the tent and hit Gu Changfeng, Ding Chunqiu took action.

He grabbed it with one hand and directly grabbed the cannonball that hit him out of thin air. He pinched the red solid iron bullet in his hand. His five fingers visibly pinched into the iron bullet and fell into it. The iron and mud were all removed from it. It squeezed out between the fingers.

It looks like grabbing a big steamed bun.

Gu Changfeng, who looked at such a scene, was dumbfounded.
