Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 146 Do You Want It?then see you
Zhao Wen laughed, and said, "My lord, I've told you everything. It's not that easy to make a long fire blunderbuss. With the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty, it may take 100 years."

"Is it really that difficult? Is this firecracker really that difficult to make? Then how did you make it?" Sun Yuanhua looked at Zhao Wen with a puzzled expression.

Holding the chopsticks, Zhao Wen replied with a smile: "Don't say it, don't say it. My lord, I see that you are so interested in this firecracker. How about this? I'll give you one. What do you think?"

When Sun Yuanhua heard that Zhao Wen was going to give him a firecracker, he immediately became excited.

Sun Yuanhua stood up directly, and said excitedly: "Is this true? Are you telling the truth? Are you sure you want to give me a shot?"

"If I say I will give you a firecracker, I will give you one. I, Zhao Wen, will do what I say." Zhao Wen said loudly.

"Haha, I am really lucky to know General Zhao who is so bright and open. I thank General Zhao." Sun Yuanhua cupped his hands to Zhao Wen and said excitedly.

"My lord, hurry up and eat your food. If you don't eat it, the food will be cold." Zhao Wen laughed.

"well!"

……

After drinking and eating, Zhao Wen led Sun Yuanhua out of the dining room slowly.

"Daniu, bring your 56 and a half. I want to give it to Mr. Sun."

Zhao Wen said slowly to Zhao Daniu.

"Come on!" Zhao Daniu replied angrily, and handed 56 and a half to Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen took the 56 and a half and stroked it lightly, "My lord, I believe you know the value of this firecracker. You must not let outsiders know about this firecracker, and at the same time, don't let outsiders know that this firecracker is mine. For you."

Sun Yuanhua looked eagerly at the 56 and a half in Zhao Wen's hand, and hurriedly said: "Of course, of course. I will definitely not let others know about this firecracker, and I will never say that you gave it to me."

Zhao Wen looked at Sun Yuanhua, laughed, and handed half of 56 to Sun Yuanhua, "My lord, then I will give it to you."

Sun Yuanhua took the 56 and a half, and stroked it with a smile on his face, "Hey, if I can imitate this kind of firecracker, I will die without regret, and I will die without regret."

Zhao Wen got fifty rounds of bullets from Zhao Daniu, put them in a cloth bag, and handed them to Sun Yuanhua, "My lord, these are the bullets in the firecracker. There are only fifty rounds in total, so you can take it easy."

"Fifty rounds? That's enough. I just want to study it carefully. It won't cost much money." Sun Yuanhua hastily took the cloth bag containing the bullets and put them into his arms.

"My lord, let's take our leave." Zhao Wen looked at Sun Yuanhua, who was holding 56 and a half and kept stroking, and cupped his hands.

Sun Yuanhua raised his head and said hastily, "Will General Zhao stay? It's getting late now, and it won't be long before it gets dark."

Zhao Wen waved his hand and replied, "No, time is urgent, we have to hurry."

Zhao Wen turned around directly, and told Zhao Daniu's personal guards to rush out of the yamen.

Seeing this, Sun Yuanhua hastily followed.

"Is it true that General Zhao doesn't live in the Yamen?" Sun Yuanhua looked at Zhao Wen who was on his horse, and asked hastily.

Zhao Wen laughed, bowed his hands to Sun Yuanhua, and replied: "Time is urgent, thank you for your kindness, I really can't bother you. I will go first."

"drive!!!"

Under Sun Yuanhua's gaze, Zhao Wen pulled the horse's reins and led Zhao Daniu and the others to gallop away.

It wasn't until Zhao Wen disappeared at the end of the road that Sun Yuanhua turned around and said to the servant beside him: "I have important things to do these days, if anyone comes to visit, just say that I have gone out to inspect .”

Sun Yuanhua put down a few words, held 56 and a half and went directly to the house where he studied firearms.

The sun was gradually sinking to the west, and when the sun was about to completely fall into the west mountain, Zhao Wen and others finally arrived at the ferry.

"My lord, it's getting late at this time, can we still find the sea boat?" Zhao Daniu looked at the bustling ferry and frowned at Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen replied: "Let's look for it first, what if it is there? If there is really no one, then let's sleep at Dukou for a night and talk about it."

When everyone heard what Zhao Wen said, they got off their horses and led them towards the ferry.

A few quarters of an hour later, Zhao Daniu ran back excitedly.

"My lord, there is a boat." Zhao Daniu looked at Zhao Wen excitedly.

"What kind of ship is it? Can it hold our war horses?" Zhao Wen asked.

"My lord, it's a big ship. It can hold our war horses, but it only costs more."

"Hurry up, money is a trivial matter." Zhao Wen led the horse and headed for the distance under the leadership of Zhao Daniu.

After a while, Zhao Wen saw a somewhat dilapidated lucky boat by the ferry.

"My lord, this is the boat going to Phi Island tonight." Zhao Daniu pointed at the lucky boat and said to Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen looked at the lucky boat and asked curiously, "This boat also went to Phi Island? How could it be such a coincidence?"

"I don't know, my lord. I have already found out that this ship is a smuggling ship from Dongjiang Town. It is responsible for using some Korean ginseng and other goods on weekdays. It's just that this ship happened to be returning to Phi Island, otherwise How could we have such good luck." Zhao Daniu explained in detail while standing aside.

Zhao Wen stood by the ferry for a short time when a middle-aged man in black and shorts came over.

This middle-aged man is the captain of the ship.

He had a dry tobacco pot in his mouth, and two streams of white smoke came out of his nose.

"What are you guys doing? Why are you going to Phi Island?" He took off the pipe from his mouth, tapped his feet, and looked at Zhao Wen.

"We are going to Phi Island to do business." Zhao Wen replied.

"Business? Do you want to do the Korean ginseng business?"

Since Mao Wenlong occupied Phi Island, he has recruited businessmen to do business.

Because Phi Island is close to North Korea, there are many merchants who go to Phi Island to do Korean ginseng business. The boss of the boat did not suspect anything, but asked: "Then why do you still hold the horse when you do business? And why does this horse look a bit strange?" Like a war horse?"

Zhao Wen laughed and said, "You can't bring horses with you when doing business? And you're right. These horses are war horses. I bought them from the frontier army at a huge price. Go to the island and buy a good price."

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was common for the frontier army to buy and sell ordnance and supplies, so the boss of the ship did not doubt it.

"In this case, then you get on board."

……

The Fuchuan sailed on the sea, making a creaking sound.

Since Longqing was switched on and off, more people live at sea.

Although the sea ban was implemented later, for those who live by the sea, the sea ban is just a dead letter.

The local officials also turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye, neither supporting nor opposing those who go out to sea for a living.

Among the maritime merchants, there are also groups no less than Shanxi merchants, and there are also many officials in the imperial court.

Offending maritime merchants is the same as offending Shanxi merchants, so local officials can't afford to ban going to sea.

Besides, those maritime merchants have already fed the local officials to their fullest, and they don't have to ban going to sea.

Sitting in the low and cramped cabin, Zhao Wen kept wiping the big black star in his hands.

In the sea at the end of Ming Dynasty, in addition to smuggling ships, there were endless pirates.

Especially the pirate group headed by Zheng Zhilong. Although Zheng Zhilong was recruited by the court, there is no guarantee that he will not do something out of the ordinary.

Sitting opposite Zhao Wen, Zhao Daniu watched Zhao Wen keep wiping the big black star, and said, "Master, are you afraid of meeting pirates?

Pirates are basically in the south. We are going to Phi Island and heading north. How could we meet pirates? "

Hearing Zhao Daniu's voice, Zhao Wen didn't speak up, but kept wiping the big black star.

The night was dark, and the sea reflected the stars in the sky.

A gust of night wind blew, making the lantern hung by the boss of the boat erratic.

After the night receded, the sun rose from the sea level, and the sea level in the distance was dyed red by the rising sun.

Zhao Wen stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the rising sun, letting the sea breeze blow on his body.

Suddenly, a wave hit and directly wet Zhao Wen's clothes.

"My lord, go back to the cabin, you are soaked." Zhao Daniu hurriedly pulled Zhao Wen down.

Just when Zhao Wen was about to return to the cabin, he suddenly saw a few small black spots appearing in the distance, and the small black spots were flying towards the blessing boat like an arrow leaving the string.

"What is that?" Zhao Wen pointed at the little black dot and shouted loudly.

Zhao Wen's shout alarmed the boat boss who was tidying up the ropes. He hurried to the bow and squinted his eyes for a while.

"This seems to be Japanese pirates!" The boss of the boat said in a cold voice with a sullen face.

Zhao Wen hastily removed the telescope from his waist and looked into the distance.

I saw a Japanese pirate with a samurai sword and Yuedai head standing on the bow of the boat, hissing towards this side.

"It really is a Japanese pirate." Zhao Wen looked at the approaching ship and slapped it directly on the side of the ship.
