Guo Jia, the ghost of the strongest military division

Chapter 1069 Red Cannon
Sure enough, after learning of Sun Quan's actions, Sun Jian was very furious. In order to take care of the face of the Sun family, he did not disclose the matter.

He instructed Mrs. Wu and Wu Jing to hold a wedding ceremony for Sun Quan immediately, and then sent Sun Quan far away to serve in Fujian and Guangdong.

Sun Ce, who didn't know the inside story, was still a little strange. Why was Sun Quan sent to such a place?

For this reason, he also argued a few words for his brother.

But Sun Jian made up his mind and made a decision, even if Sun Ce interceded, it would be difficult to undo the decision.

Sun Quan was relegated to the frontier and completely lost the qualification to pursue the rights of the Sun family.

It was Guo Jia who finally benefited.

Not only did he embrace the beauty, the Sun family also gave him a large dowry.

……

At sea, a large ship of the Gu family sailed out of the port.

The boat carried Guo Jia, Sun Shangxiang and the Tiger Guards, and each Tiger Guard was followed by maid guards one by one.

They were all subdued by Tiger Guard soldiers in the last accident, husbands and wives followed, and wherever the Tiger Guard soldiers went, they naturally followed.

Gu Yong stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the direction ahead.

coming!

A large ship sailed out of the darkness and came before them.

So big, so sharp!
Sun Shangxiang couldn't help but widen her eyes.

The biggest ship of their Sun family is the Lou Chuan of the Han Dynasty, but the ship in front of them is much taller than the Lou Chuan, and its shape is very strange, with a long protruding part of the bow.

This is the new sea-going ship built by Guo Jia.

Soon the plank was lowered from the bow and set on the side of the Gu family's big boat, Guo Jia and others immediately stepped up.

A group of people hurried over.

"Meet the lord!"

Gu Yue, Gan Ning, Lu Su and a group of generals fell to the ground one after another.

Everyone please rise up!

Guo Jia smiled and helped the three of them up.

Gu Yue clasped her fists and said, "My lord, my subordinates have lived up to expectations. The first new type of warship has been built. The second and third ships are being assembled."

This ship was designed by Guo Jia according to the pointed sea ship of medieval pirates. Its draft, load, and speed far surpassed the building ships of the Han Dynasty.

Not only that, but there are double-row decks on the side of the ship, and nearly a hundred artillery pieces are displayed under the deck.

These cannons are made of meteoric iron, which are strong and durable, and they use the method of firing with flint, which is a top-notch weapon in this era.

Even if the building ships of the Han Dynasty encountered each other, they could only become targets.

very good!

Guo Jia nodded in satisfaction.

Or the working people have wisdom, what they lack is aura rather than thinking.

Guo Jia drew the blueprint of the ship, and Gu Yue and other excellent shipbuilders could build it, and the details were handled very well.

Lord!

Gan Ning also smiled and said: "Thanks to the lord's respect, Gan Ning has become an admiral of the navy. It is said that the navy ships in Yunzhou are like clouds. Gan Ning and his brothers are a little dazzled."

Indeed, during the battle at the mouth of the Yellow River, Guo Jia acquired the only remaining buildings and boats of the Han Dynasty, and there were countless small boats.

It made Yunzhou leap forward and become the local force with the most warships.

There are fifty or sixty building ships alone.

There are ships, but there is a lack of generals who can operate ships and fight. That's why Guo Jia recruited Gan Ning and his Jinfan bandits to Yunzhou.

Gan Ning and the others grew up on the water, and it is their old profession to operate ships and fight wars. The joining of this group of people instantly enriched the strength of Yunzhou's navy.

Lord!

Lu Su also clasped his fists together and sighed: "The formation of the Yunzhou Navy is basically completed now. Three new sea-going ships will be used as sharp ends, and fifty large-scale ships will be used as the main force. With a little training, they will be able to form combat effectiveness. The princes of the world I don’t have the strength to compete with Yunzhou Sea.”

After seeing the strength of the Yunzhou navy, Lu Su was relieved to be the commander of the navy.

No hurry no hurry!
Guo Jia waved his hand.

A sea ship is a sea ship, a navy is a navy, and a sea ship is a sharp weapon, but it is the navy that determines strength.

The current navy is not yet mature, its infrastructure has not yet been perfected, and it cannot yet become the main force of war.

After the new sea-going ships were installed and the combat effectiveness of the navy had matured, Guo Jia planned to use this amazing army.

"This is the artillery!"

Sun Shangxiang excitedly pointed at a dark cannon on the bow.

She has long heard that Yunzhou has new Chinese and new firearms, which can kill the enemy several miles away. It is precisely with these firearms that Yunzhou can destroy the surrounding enemies and become the largest force in the north.

Sun Shangxiang had only heard about it, and had never seen it with her own eyes.

Not bad!

Guo Jia smiled and nodded.

At present, Yunzhou's cannon-making technology is becoming more and more sophisticated, from the bronze cannon at the beginning to the meteorite iron cannon.From the shotgun at the beginning to the smoothbore gun now.All are condensed in the painstaking efforts of the craftsmen.

The cannon on the bow is a heavy cannon mixed with copper and iron. The inner core is cast in bronze, and the outside is covered with a thick iron coat, which is then fused with a small amount of meteorite iron. Thousands of catties, the projectile weighs ten catties, and is fired from the front, with a range of up to eight miles.

This is the red cannon imitated by Guo Jia.

The red cannon is different from the Frankie cannon. The body of the cannon is much heavier than the Frankie cannon. It has a long range and great power. It is a sharp weapon for attacking cities and territories.

It's just that the gun body is clumsy and difficult to move, so it fits well on the boat.

With this red cannon, Yunzhou's sea-going ships can destroy the building defenses on the road from a long distance at sea.

Within the effective range, the city wall can't stop the impact of ten catties of shells.

"Husband, give me a shot and let me see."

Sun Shangxiang tugged at Guo Jia's hand excitedly.

At this moment, she has also become a curious baby.

Ha ha!

Guo Jia smiled slightly, and said: "When the cannon is fired, ten thousand taels of gold. This is a money-burning thing. It's better not to let it go if it's okay."

Especially this cannon in red, which consumes ten times more gunpowder than ordinary small cannons, and even the projectiles are made of pig iron.

In this era, the armor of soldiers did not weigh ten catties.

This shell can arm two lightly armored soldiers.

Cheapskate!
Sun Shangxiang couldn't help but stamp her feet.

"Can I pay for it?"

She never expected Guo Jia to be so stingy, but it was unreasonable.

Lord!

Gan Ning on the side smiled and said, "Since madam wants to see the power of the artillery, let's just shoot it a little."

In fact, when they were training soldiers, Guo Jia didn't feel sorry for the ammunition front, but he made the soldiers toss.

Alright alright!
Guo Jia nodded helplessly, and said, "If that's the case, let's shoot!"

The division of labor on the ship is clear, and Lu Su is the commander-in-chief, who has an overview of the overall situation and is responsible for the overall strategic direction.Gu Yue was in charge of maneuvering and sailing the ship, Gan Ning was in charge of guarding the ship, and someone else was in charge of the artillery.

Soon, a team of gunners came to the cannons in red, tidying up, getting ready, everything was ready, and they were about to launch.
