Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 31 The Shocked Envoy

"Can I?" Li Luo waved his fist excitedly when he heard that he could shoot the cannon himself.

"Of course, our artillery is very safe. The prince can test the distance, ignite the fire, and leave the reloading to our soldiers." Chu Yun encouraged.

"Your Highness, you can't do it. Manipulating weapons is what soldiers do. The prince has a noble status, so you must not do it." The envoys from Korea around Li Luo tried to dissuade him.

Chu Yun was immediately upset when he heard this.It turns out that not only the Ming Dynasty had these decadent scholar-bureaucrat ideas, but even Goryeo had them.

"This statement is wrong. Soldiers are the most important weapon of a country. If the king of a country doesn't know about weapons, how can he protect the country?" Chu Yun sarcastically said.

"What General Chu said is that our Koryo suffered from the Jin Kingdom because of the lack of training and backward equipment. Our Koryo had an army of [-], and it was defeated by an army of [-] to [-] Jin soldiers in an instant, which has nothing to do with our contempt for the army If General Chu can guarantee Wang Shizi’s safety, Wang Shizi might as well try it.” The leading ambassador, Jin Zidian, was open-minded and agreed with Chu Yun’s point of view.

"Come here, help His Royal Highness to fire the cannon." Chu Yun recruited more than a dozen artillerymen.

15-year-old Li Luo happily operated the cannon with a group of artillerymen. He first tried the range finder, and then aimed at an uninhabited hillside 400 meters away. earthen wall.

"Ignite!" After all the preparations were ready, Li Lu lit the fuse of the artillery as the artillery issued an order.

"His Royal Highness, retreat quickly!" A group of Korean envoys exclaimed, fearing that something would happen to Li Mo.

As the fuse burned into the barrel, a loud noise made the Korean envoys terrified.

boom!Thick white smoke spouted from the muzzle!

The earth wall on the uninhabited hillside 400 meters away was hit by a solid bullet, and it collapsed, and debris flew everywhere!

"terrible……"

A group of Korean envoys were stunned.

"Everyone, what do you think of our artillery?" Chu Yun looked playfully at the Korean envoy.

"It's unbelievable... as expected of the Kingdom of Heaven..." The Goryeo envoy's eyes were full of awe, and he couldn't speak fluently.

"General Chu, how much is the cannon for the general? We only need twenty, no, ten can drive the hateful Jin people out of our territory!" Li Wei, who fired a cannon himself, looked at him eagerly. Chu Yun.

"Yes, General Chu, we in Korea are willing to buy ten General Cannons from Fuliaoying at a price of 2000 taels of silver each! Iron ore or copper mines are fine, as long as General Chu is willing to sell, we will take it!" Jin Since then, he has become crazy, and he almost took out the country to exchange cannons with Chu Yun.

"Ahem, this is not acceptable. As you can see, our Ming army doesn't have many big general guns, and there are only two in total here. You can imagine how precious they are." Chu Yun shook his head.

"It's true. In our Goryeo, we may not be able to manufacture such a terrible weapon in 100 years." Jin Zidian said a little disappointed.

"But if we can't sell it to you now, it doesn't mean we can't sell it to you in the future. After a year or two we have spare artillery, I will notify your country as soon as possible, and hope that your country can buy it by then." Chu Yun spoke sharply. change.

"Really?" Not only Jin Zidian and Li Min, but also other Korean envoys were all moved.

"Really." Chu Yun thought to himself, after I develop the Armstrong cannon and the Knuber steel cannon, Korea will sell you as much of these outdated artillery as you want!

"General Chu, you are really a friend of our Goryeo!" Li Mo almost wanted to recognize Chu Yun as his eldest brother.

"Haha, it's easy to talk about. Now my main force is guarding Jinzhou in Jinzhou. When the Jinbing retreats from Korea, His Royal Highness can come to Jinzhou to find me. At that time, I will definitely invite His Royal Highness and everyone to have a good time in Jinzhou." Chu Yun said.

The envoys from Korea who originally came to do gun business with Chu Yun were deeply impressed by Chu Yun's strength and returned to Korea with satisfaction.Just in case, Chu Yun sent two teams to escort everyone in Korea.The crown prince of Korea is inside, if something happens, it will be a big deal!Moreover, I believe that these people will definitely find me to buy firearms in the future, and give me countless silver taels and resources.

"Every envoy, please take care on the way. You must not compromise when dealing with Houjin, otherwise Houjin will often make progress and will definitely demand a large amount of war indemnity from you. It is better to fight with them." Chu Yun sent the Korean envoys away. Before, I still didn't forget to tell Goryeo.

If Goryeo could hold back the main force of the Houjin Three Banners for a long time, then Huang Taiji would not have the energy to go south to Jinzhou, and Chu Yun would have more time to recuperate.

"General Chu cares about our Goryeo. On behalf of hundreds of thousands of people in Goryeo, I would like to thank General Chu for his selfless help to us." Li Mo bowed to Chu Yun respectfully.

"His Royal Highness, take care." Chu Yun also bowed back.

"set sail!"

Under the urging of the boatman, the Korean envoys and the soldiers escorting them gradually sailed into the vast ocean.

"Your Excellency..." Mrs. Yang, who remained silent at the side, looked at the envoys gradually going away.

"What's wrong?" Chu Yun asked.

"You are really dark." Mrs. Yang said.

"It's far away." Chu Yun laughed loudly, "Everyone will be rewarded for making this big deal. Let's go, let's go back and continue drinking and eating meat."

"When will your lord give our textile factory a business of 3 taels of silver? Our textile factory is envious of the smelter and the Ordnance Bureau. An order can easily cost tens of thousands of taels. It's not like our textile factory is working hard." For a few months, all the profits were used to make arms for them." Hargreave of the textile factory said aggrievedly.

"The business of the textile factory is originally a small profit but quick turnover. In the future, it will definitely be more profitable than arms." Chu Yun comforted, "The steam engine made by Mr. Watt will be put into use soon, and the textile factory can use the least manpower to produce The most commodities, the future is limitless."

"Steam engine? That's a good thing." Hargreave's eyes lit up.

"In a few days, follow me to Jinzhou to meet Mr. Watt, and see how to use the steam engine to the textile factory most efficiently." Chu Yun said.

"Yes!" Hargreave was full of expectation.

After dealing with the incident of the Korean mission, Chu Yun already thought about returning to Jinzhou as soon as possible.Jinzhou is the current territory that Chu Yun wants to operate, and there are still many things waiting for Chu Yun to deal with, such as drastic reforms to Jinzhou's management system and agricultural production.In addition, if possible, Chu Yun also wants to start building a navy.The reason why Chu Yun didn't want to turn against Dongjiang Town was because of the strength of Dongjiang Town's naval division. If Mao Wenlong blocked the sea, Chu Yun's goods and arms would not be sold.To ensure that the goods are dumped overseas, Chu Yun needs to have a powerful navy in his hands.
