People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 299 The translator exaggerated the power of naval weapons and frightened the Annan people! Sapphire can’t stand it anymore

After hearing the words of the naval translator, the prime minister and ministers of Annan Kingdom were stunned.

They couldn't imagine that there was such a big ship.

And this is how many people can sit on the warship?

If each warship could carry so many people, tens of thousands of troops would come down every time.

Who would have thought of this.

And there is such a big cannon on top. If the cannon goes down, it will not blow up a deep pit the size of a pond.

The translator was still talking at this time: "Each of our other warships has a red cannon on it. Our naval establishment is five thousand people, each with a flintlock gun.

You may not have seen the power of a flintlock gun. One shot can penetrate a target of five to six hundred meters. "

sizzle...

After listening to the translation, the envoys of Annan Kingdom were even more frightened and trembled.

Five or six hundred meters! !

"And the range of our red cannons has reached seven or eight miles.

I think you have all seen Chen Zuyi's warship. Such a powerful warship is like a chicken and a dog under the bombardment of our red cannons.

The reason why our navy was able to annihilate them all in less than half an hour was because of the red cannons and flintlock guns, as well as the indestructible hulls of our naval warships. "

Lan Yu looked at the faces of the Annan envoys who turned pale with fright, and looked at the scripts written by the scribes in their hands, and couldn't help but sigh: "We warriors who only know how to fight are really not as good as these scholars who can talk." .

They blew the cowhide up to the sky, how did they get back together? "

Zhang Fu and Ma He stood behind Lan Yu and the others, and couldn't help laughing when they heard Lan Yu being so honest.

But they have long been accustomed to this kind of thing.

The Central Plains dynasty likes to show off its bullshit when it comes to war.

Why else would there be so many titles?

Although there are only 10,000 troops, they actually dare to call themselves an army of 100,000 troops;

Although there are only 20,000 to 30,000 combatants, they dare to claim that they have one million troops.

The purpose is to scare the opponent.

And now it seems that this translator knows this well.

Although the translation did not exaggerate too much, in the eyes of Lan Yu and the generals who personally commanded the battle,

The effective range of the flintlock gun is only more than 200 meters.

But this is already very amazing.

You must know that it takes a while to actually run 200 meters, not to mention that wearing a helmet is quite tiring.

But in the mouths of these scholars, the good guy knocked down the target eight hundred meters away with one shot.

Obviously the effective range of the red cannon is three to four miles, but it has been exaggerated to seven or eight miles, doubling the range.

To be honest, if this wasn't diplomatic rhetoric, Lan Yu would have swollen the mouth of the translator who spoke.

Although everyone knows that diplomatic rhetoric is indispensable, Lan Yu really can't imagine how these scholars can be so powerful in bragging and not blush when talking about irrelevant things.

Regardless of how the translators deceived these Annan fools, Lan Yu asked directly: "Has the warship we sent to capture the pirates set off?"

Wang Bi, the Marquis of Dingyuan, replied: "The general has set off with a total of ten warships, two of which are armored warships, and a total of two thousand soldiers, each with a flintlock gun!"

Lan Yu nodded: "Okay!" ...

Five days later.

An island group in the Strait of Malacca.

There is silence around the island, but as you get closer to the coast, you can hear the constant sounds of fighting.

It turned out that just as Chen Han expected, the pirates lost their leader Chen Zuyi and immediately began to fight among themselves.

Chen Zuyi has been operating in Nanyang for so many years and has accumulated considerable financial reports.

After the exact news of Chen Zuyi's death reached the Strait of Malacca, these pirates immediately began to fight among themselves. In order to compete for property and territory, several leaders attacked each other.

Although they clearly knew that the enemy would take advantage of the enemy's attack if they fought against each other, without Chen Zuyi to suppress the internal factional disputes, these pirates would not have much long-term vision.

They only know that after grabbing a certain amount of property, they will go their own way.

So after Marquis Nanxiong led his naval warships into this sea area under the leadership of pirate prisoners, he saw that the pirates were fighting to the death without even launching an attack.

Marquis Nanxiong looked at the island more than ten miles away through the telescope and couldn't help but sigh.

"Hey! What a great fight! Hey, are these all the remaining pirates you guys have?" Marquis Nanxiong asked the prisoners beside him.

"Master Ming Jun, we have been wandering around the nearby waters for several days. We haven't seen our brothers in other strongholds, so they should all gather here." The pirate prisoner replied.

Marquis Nanxiong asked uncertainly: "How do you know they must all be here?"

"This is the place where our master stores his treasures, and it is also the escape route left by the master for himself on the sea. It is usually a forbidden area. Only in this critical moment of life and death, everyone will gather together to share the wealth.

The fight probably started due to uneven distribution. "

The prisoner spoke with complete assurance.

Marquis Nanxiong was also a smart man and shouted: "That's nonsense. We clearly discovered Chen Zuyi and other places where he hides treasures. How dare you lie to us?"

The prisoner shouted: "Sir, I didn't lie. In the past few days, you have also seen that there are no pirates in other strongholds at all. Where can they go if they are not here?

You have to believe me. We claim to be one hundred thousand pirates, but in fact there are only about 30,000. More than 20,000 have died. The rest are probably all there. If you don’t believe it, you can count the number of warships with the tube in your hand. ah! "

Listening to the voice and looking at his expression, Marquis Nanxiong was basically sure that this guy was not lying.

He just deceived the prisoner.

This prisoner was also frightened by the cannons and flintlock guns of the Ming Navy, so he dared to lie.

Marquis Nanxiong snorted: "Okay! I will trust you this time. If you dare to lie to us, I will tie you to a tree and blast you to pieces with a cannon!"

The prisoner knelt on the ground: "You dare not!"

Marquis Nanxiong came down from the deck, looked at the excited lieutenant, and then at the excited soldiers behind him.

"Hey hey hey, your hair is about to fall off. Are you so excited?" Marquis Nanxiong looked disgusted.

"General, fight. We finally found them. If we don't fight, they will run away again!" The soldiers couldn't help but take action.

Marquis Nanxiong sat on the chair: "You are all eager to make contributions. Didn't you hear the prisoner just now say that this place is where they hide the treasure? They won't be able to leave for a while, so let them capture it. When the time comes, we’ll pick up what’s ready.”

The soldiers touched the flintlock guns in their hands: "General, when the time comes, let us have fun with our guns, don't use cannons to blast them, okay?"
