Great Entrepreneur of the Universe

Chapter 315 You have already fired, now it’s my turn
After a period of time, under Wang Shouliang's friendly and charismatic negotiations, Zheng Jing, Chen Jinnan, Liu Guoxuan, including Zhu Shugui and other former Ming Dynasty clan members all moved to a steel steam ship with a displacement of more than 2000 tons floating in the bay outside Anping City. On the destroyer.

They range from Zheng Jing and Liu Guoxuan, the general in charge of the army, to ordinary personal guards.

Even Yalun and the Portuguese ghost guys were all in a daze and couldn't believe that this was a big steel ship floating on the sea! !
When the steam whistle resounded through the bay and drove away, Chen Jinnan first looked at Zheng Jing and Liu Guoxuan who were unconscious, and then asked for instructions, "Your Highness, King Zhao, is this really pure steel? I wonder if the foreign minister can verify it?"

Wang Shouliang smiled and nodded, "Director Chen, please verify it at will."

Chen Jinnan then crouched down and punched the deck, and soon took out his sharp sword to slash at it. There was no doubt that the steel deck was secure.

As he tested again and again, everyone from Zheng Jing to the Western ghost guys also began to verify, not just the deck, but many things.

It’s a big ship made of pure steel! !

The smoke accompanying the big chimney floating in the sky made countless people look in a trance, as if they were watching the breath of a giant dragon.

When Wang Shouliang saw that everyone's verification had come to an end, he smiled and said, "Chief helmsman, go talk to the ghost guys and ask them to pull out one or two of their armed merchant ships to attack my steel ship from a long distance."

"Your ordinary swords are far less effective at chopping than cannons."

When the second shot was fired, it was the same as the previous operation. One shot tore apart the wooden ship and began to sink during the heavy bombardment.

Chen Jinnan was completely messed up, what a fool he was.

"You have already fired the cannon to verify, now it's my turn!!"

He can dodge bullets from matchlock guns and blunderbuss, but he doesn't practice horizontal exercises.

The fire started to sink...

So several Yalun ghost guys, including the Portuguese ghost guy, didn't understand the meaning of the sentence, "It's my turn."

Still communicating with each other, they gradually arrived within a mile of the steel steamship, and then fired a few shots at the steel ship's deck.

This is just a 57MM rapid-fire cannon. It's really a small cannon.

Chen Jinnan, "..."

"If General Zheng is willing to return to Zhao, I promise to treat him as a marquis and the founding prince of the country. If General Zheng can go south to attack the Luzon Islands in the future, it will not be a dream to open up territory for our Zhao court, grant a duke, and have a king with a different surname. "

Zheng Jing, "..."

Liu Guoxuan, "..."

And Chen Jinnan still doesn’t know the identity of Master Jiu Nan.

Even so, Chen Jinnan quickly communicated with Zheng Jing, Liu Guoxuan and the Western ghost guys who were gradually coming back to their senses...

Some shells fell into the water, and some directly hit the waterline or deck armor steel, and were easily bounced away and fell into the water...

But even for Obai, even the pointed bullets of the Mauser 98 rifle can tear apart the defense of his Dacheng-level Thirteen Taibao Henglian Jinzhong.

Only then did he remember the scene where Wang Shouliang took out the cannonball with his bare hands and turned the iron into mud.

This is so fucking outrageous.

Speaking of which, even Zhu Shugui, a member of the Ming Dynasty clan and a prince of the Zhu family who was named Prince Ningjing by Emperor Longwu, still did not recognize Jiu Nan's identity.

In just three shots, the merchant ship armed with experimental firepower pulled out by the East India Company was completely sunk, including of course the sailors, gunners, first mates, etc. who were buried on the merchant ship.

Chen Jinnan said quickly, "Your Highness, King Zhao, this matter is of great importance. I hope that Your Highness will give me more time to consider it."

When another cannon was about to hit several of Zheng Jing's guards, Wang Shouliang smiled and dodged, grabbing the solid cannonball out of thin air like a dunk, and using his body movement, he landed in front of Chen Jinnan, Zheng Jing and a group of Western ghosts. Hold it into iron mud and sprinkle it downwards.

Wang Shouliang nodded, "This is definitely possible. Let me tell you straight, if you are willing to surrender and help me attack the Luzon Islands, then I can also equip you with such a giant steel ship."

After a while, with the waving of flags and the exchange of monoculars, three wooden sailing merchant ships flying the flags of the East India Company also sailed out of the bay.

Even if Obai was shot, he would definitely die, the way he would be torn apart.

"Since the late Ming Dynasty, our Chinese people have endured enough suffering."

Chen Jinnan, who vaguely understood, watched in confusion as Wang Shouliang disappeared using his Qing Gong...

In his words, he had just talked about letting the Zheng family join him when Liu Guoxuan, the grand prize, suddenly drew the knife out of his body. After instinctively drawing the knife, he glanced at Wang Shouliang again, and Liu Guoxuan sheathed the knife again.

Chen Jinnan, "..."

Prince Ningjing was born in Hubei Province in the 45th year of Wanli Dynasty. He was the eighth-generation grandson of the first King of Liao in the Ming Dynasty. His blood relationship with Princess Ajiu, Zhu Youjian and Zhu Weimao, had long since fallen out of the fifth world. How many years.

After firing a few shots, Wang Shouliang returned to the deck. While Zheng Jing and the others, including Yalun Ghost Man, were crying and screaming, he said to Zheng Jing, "General Zheng, this time I am going south from the capital to Anping City."

Zheng Jing was in a trance again...

But when the artillery started, there was a loud bang, and soon there were big bombs equipped with picric acid shells, bombing the deck of a wooden sail-armed merchant ship, and tearing the wooden ship apart with one shot.

It was while Mr. Chen was in a trance that he opened the muzzle somewhere on the side of the steel steamship and revealed a ferocious cannon.

It’s not like they haven’t seen Eastern martial arts before! Not to mention Chen Jinnan, they have also seen other masters in the martial arts.

Now this is an artillery piece, even if it is a solid cannon, it is still an artillery shell!
Is the cannon coming out of the barrel to attack, or is it within the effective range of its peak power, caught by a person with bare hands, and then crushes the hot solid cannon into sand?

No matter what Mr. Chen's state of mind was, he had somewhat guessed Wang Shouliang's intention, but he hadn't officially spoken yet.

Several Yalun ghost guys were staring at the solid bullets that Wang Shouliang had turned into iron clay and iron sand, and all kinds of shouts of God and mother were swept out.

"I just hope that the Zheng family can join me, Zhao Ting. After expelling the Qing court, we are all Han people, and I don't want to have a sword fight with General Zheng."

"As long as the general is willing to surrender, I will not only be kind to the Zheng family, but also to the whole lineage of King Ping Jing Zhu Ming."

Zheng Jing, Zheng Jing was in a daze for a few seconds and rubbed his eyes, "Fufu, is this King Zhao's martial arts too shocking? Can you do what you did before?"

"Including the shells that would have exploded before, destroying a sailing merchant ship."

Zheng Jing's eyes suddenly lit up, full of shock and disbelief. He had just witnessed the experiment and witnessed the terrifying defensive power of the giant steel ship. It was hit by a barrage of Western artillery shells without even scratching its skin.

Driving such a giant ship to fight Dutch ghosts? Spanish ghost guy? Isn’t that just holding the handle? Bullying is a bit too much! !

After all, starting from his father Zheng Chenggong, he has wanted to take the initiative to redress the grievances of the Chinese and overseas Chinese in Luzon more than once. This is a long-cherished wish.

After decades of war, they continued to fight with their own people. Many people actually lost their enthusiasm. There were too many killings in the previous decades. But if you let them fight ghost guys, the nature of it will be different.

Wang Shouliang said again, "Don't think I'm lying to you. I'm giving you a steel ship. Once it's damaged, will you repair it? Can you produce those explosive bombs? No, even if I give you eight out of ten ships. , you are powerless to resist me.”

"On the contrary, as long as I have a ship, I can set up a new navy from the north to suppress the rebellion."

"This is the same reason why I don't mind giving the governor of Ludong, who has an unclear mind and an unclear purpose, a thousand quick guns to help me pacify Ludong. I am giving him a chance to see how he performs."

Zheng Jing, "..."

Including Liu Guoxuan was speechless. It had been half a month since Chen Jinnan got the gun and returned to Anping City in Yizhou. Everyone knew the importance of bullets long ago.

There are not enough bullets, so you are holding a new type of fast gun, which is also a fire stick, no, at most it is a steel rod, not as useful as a spear.

Today, the Zheng family will show off this fast gun in front of the Yalun ghosts and the Portuguese ghosts, just to ask whether these Western missionaries can imitate bullets with their gun-making abilities.

If you can't mass-produce pointed metal bullets, no matter how many Mauser 98 rifles you get, it will be useless.

But there is no doubt that Yalun and Portugal are also disappointed with metal-tipped bullets. This is a technology that is hundreds of years behind. Even the earliest paper-cased and custom-made paper-cased bullets were made in 1812, at the beginning of the 19th century. invented.

Even in 1812, there was a gap of about 100 years between the widespread large-scale installation of pointed metal bullets.

While Zheng Jing and others were still in confusion, a Yalun ghost guy suddenly woke up from a state of collapse and crying, stood up and grabbed a flintlock short gun from his waist, and was about to pull the trigger on Wang Shouliang...

Chen Jinnan was shocked, and when he wanted to stop him, he found that Wang Shouliang just looked over calmly. Director Chen once again remembered the scene of Wang Shouliang receiving solid bullets with his bare hands, and he felt numb.

At this stage, flintlock muskets occasionally appear, but they are still ordinary lead bullets, which are not at the same level as large cannonballs.

boom……

Along with the sound of gunfire, the muzzle of a certain Yalun ghost guy's short gun was still smoking. Wang Shouliang had already held the lead bullet between his two fingers, grinned at the ghost guy, flicked his finger, and the lead bullet directly hit the ghost guy's forehead. He Also died tragically.

Wang Shouliang's bullet was a little more powerful, and it directly overturned the opponent's skull.

It was also at this time that Princess Ajiu, Zhu Weiluo, flashed forward and saluted with one arm, "General Zheng, Chief Chen, a poor nun with nine difficulties, studied under the Iron Sword Sect, and his family was loved by many seniors in the world. He was known as The Taoist who has changed forever."

Following the story, a group of people once again stared at Jiu Nan's return gift and listened carefully. The other party's successor didn't care...

Jiu Nan continued, "Before I became a nun, my real name was Zhu Weimao, and my late father was the powerful sect of Emperor Longwu Temple..."

Zheng Jing, Chen Jinnan, and Zhu Shugui were all shocked. Princess Ajiu said again, "Taizu rebuilt the rivers and mountains, and the sun and the moon shined brightly, and he was able to usher in the 300-year prosperity of our Ming Dynasty."

"His Royal Highness, King Zhao, has been able to catch up with Taizu in martial arts and create a glorious rule like He should. I hope General Zheng and Chief Chen will seriously consider returning to Zhao. As His Highness said, His Highness just doesn't want to see General Zheng again. ”

"Besides, if you really can't defeat us, the Qing court at its peak will abandon the capital."

"A coal-burning steel ship can tear apart a fleet of wooden ships just by ramming it at an angle."

Wang Shouliang suddenly realized at this moment, "Yes, I have tested the defensive power of the steel ship before, as well as the lethality of the new artillery, but I haven't let you see the impact force and speed yet."

"It just so happens that there are several Yalun ships and Portuguese ships in Anping Bay. Even if the ship today is not equipped with a ramming angle, we can try to ram them and sink them."

After he signaled to Long'er who was watching from a distance, Long'er nodded and went to order the maids to sail the ship.

Her group of ten maids and female disciples of the Dragon God are all little masters.

In the past few days, Wang Shouliang and his party had stayed in Gan Province to help the 80-year-old Song Changgeng, who was seriously ill, with his health. The rest of the time was spent teaching them how to sail a boat.

It is still memorized by rote, and the instruction manual with pictures and texts is hung next to the control instrument.

It was difficult for ordinary people to learn in the 17th century, but it was different for martial arts masters.

Zheng Jing and others looked at each other again...

Then I witnessed with my own eyes that this steel steamship with no sails and only a big chimney was so fast that it once again made the wooden sailboats feel overwhelmed.

With the terrifying speed and the tonnage of more than 2000 tons, a single impact smashed the armed merchant ship of to tons into pieces.

A destroyer equipped with thick armored steel is so arrogant! !

The Yalun and Portuguese missionaries, merchant ships, etc. invited by Zheng Jing's forces are currently used for this purpose, to verify their force.

Without Wang Shouliang's intervention, the Zheng family's resistance to the Qing Dynasty was only possible year after year thanks to the help of Ying Lun and Portuguese merchants who provided them with arms, helped them trade and save military expenses, etc.

The Qing government's coastal border relocation left Yizhou isolated overseas without supplies, and the strategy of spending less and less money was still very effective.

But here, that's not necessary.

………………

Night falls.

When a group of female disciples of the Shenlong Sect continued to drive the steel steamer to Fujian Province under the light of searchlights, Long Er stood on the deck and blew the sea breeze and asked curiously, "Are we going back now? You give the Zheng family a month consideration period.”

"Will they agree? They should, right?"

Wang Shouliang nodded, "This time Master Jiu Nan didn't bring many identification tools, but the Heaven and Earth Society is also powerful and can find out a lot of things."

"One martial arts performance is enough. When we get to Fujian, talk to the governor and Shi Lang, and stop the border relocation order and the trade blockade of the Zheng family. Then our sincerity will be almost there."

The Zheng family is actually very poor now.

When he went to Fujian, he was very sure about recruiting the governor and Shi Lang. It was only belatedly that he discovered that once the certificate was issued, any common people could be divided into fields according to their heads, receive land, and be exempted from all taxes for one year. Exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes.

This policy is really powerful! !

The monthly salary he offered to the new army's grassroots soldiers was 10 Zhao Guo silver dollars, which was also not a small amount of money. It was basically equivalent to more than seven taels of silver, which was higher than the monthly salary of Yuan Datou's small station training in the late Qing Dynasty.

He is much more powerful than Bald's silver bullet attack.

Is Wang Shouliang short of silver? Forget the cheap industrial silver in the Genesis plane. It is only 1667 here. How many gold and silver mountains in the world are still barren, waiting to be developed? !
He could even drive an invincible fleet, sweep across the world's gold mines, and then backlash and destroy the global financial and monetary system of the Genesis 1995 dimension.

Long Er thought for a while and changed the topic, "By the way, don't rush into the cave at night. Let me take a break."

Wang Shouliang, "..."
