Chapter 147 Lin Feng's Baby

"General Hu, why isn't the warship equipped with artillery?" Lin Feng asked.

Looking at Lin Feng, Hu Ruowu replied: "My lord, the recoil of the cannon is too strong. If you fire the cannon on the warship, it will easily cause the warship to become unstable. It is easy to roll over."

"This is also a problem." Lin Feng said.The recoil of the artillery is so strong, this warship may not be able to bear it.However, Lin Feng remembered that artillery was indeed used on ancient warships.Could it be that they fooled themselves in the TV series?

"Then is there any way to avoid this problem?" Lin Feng asked.Although he knew this question, Hu Ruowu might not be able to answer it, but Lin Feng still wanted to ask.

Shaking his head, Hu Ruowu said, "My lord, the last general doesn't know either. Unless the recoil of the artillery can be reduced, otherwise, it won't work to install the artillery in the warship."

After finishing speaking, Hu Ruowu looked at Lin Feng, and said: "However, the cannons are installed on the bow and stern. Although only two can be installed, it is not bad. It is a pity that there is no way to get the cannons at the end, otherwise , you can try it."

"The artillery is not a problem." Lin Feng said: "As long as General Hu can find a solution to the rollover, I can provide you with as many artillery as you want."

"My lord, is what you said true?" Hu Ruowu said a little excitedly.

Nodding his head, Lin Feng said, "Of course it's true. The general supervisor at Jinling has already started researching it. I believe it won't be long before they can make the latest Frang machine artillery."

"My lord, I heard that the latest Franco cannon doesn't have that much recoil, but I haven't seen it before, so it's hard to express my opinion." Hu Ruowu said.He once heard a Franc machine businessman talk about this problem, but unfortunately he didn't have the money to buy artillery, so naturally he didn't know what the advantages of this latest type of artillery were.

"If you had said earlier, I would have shown you this new type of Frang machine artillery." Lin Feng said, "This time I have brought you ten artillery pieces."

"My lord, this is really great." Hu Ruowu said.Unexpectedly, Lin Feng brought him surprises one after another. It seems that Lin Feng really put his mind on the navy.Just focus on this, and train the sailors well, so as not to disappoint Lin Feng.

"After you go back, have someone test it, and if it works, install it on this warship first." Lin Feng said: "In this way, our navy will have its first warship."

"Yes, my lord, after we go back, the last general will be prepared." Hu Ruowu said excitedly.

And hearing what Hu Ruowu said, Xin Hong who was on the side was not so happy.Originally, he heard that the recoil of this cannon was strong, and Xin Hong was so happy in his heart.Now you can't use it, this artillery is mine.Unfortunately, this sudden turning point made Xin Hong disappointed in an instant.

After looking at the warship, Lin Feng asked, "How many cannons can this warship carry?"

"My lord, eight guns. The general has already thought about it." Hu Ruowu said: "Four guns on one side, exactly eight guns. Of course, one gun can be placed in the bow and one in the stern. In this case, it will be ten guns. "

"So, there is no one left?" Xin Hong asked.Originally, he had hoped that the navy would have one or two guns left, so that he could at least bring one cannon back to enjoy himself, but he didn't expect that Hu Ruowu would be so ruthless that he wouldn't leave any of them.

"There is nothing left?" Hu Ruowu looked at Xin Hong with some puzzlement and asked.

"Your Excellency brought a total of ten cannons this time. I originally expected you to have a few cannons left over, but it turns out that you are lucky. Such a distribution is just right. I don't have any left." Xin Hong said a little sourly. .

"General Xin Hong, are you joking? How could there be any remaining artillery? We don't even have enough. Although a warship can only hold ten artillery pieces, we have more than one warship." Hu Ruowu said to Xin Hong said.Want to take the artillery from him, is that possible?
"Forget it, since the supervisor is giving birth anyway, my lord will definitely not forget me by then, right?" Xin Hong looked at Lin Feng with a feeling that could almost be described as affectionate.

Immediately got goosebumps all over, Lin Feng said: "Don't worry. As long as the general supervisor has researched the production method, he will hurry up and produce it. Your artillery is guaranteed to be sufficient."

"I'm relieved. When I go back in a few days, I have to transfer the artillerymen from Jinling. It's definitely not bad to get acquainted first," Xin Hong said.Directly prepared in advance.

"My lord, you also send us a few artillerymen. Since the last general Su understands a little bit, he can't guarantee that he is right." Hu Ruowu said to Lin Feng.

"Don't worry, I will send someone to guide you." Lin Feng said.Anyway, Jinling City also has a lot of old artillery, which can be used this time.

Lin Feng and the others were chatting in the cabin when they suddenly heard the sound of the conch horn from the navy's message from outside.

"What's going on?" As the supreme commander of the navy, Hu Ruowu hurriedly asked, and quickly ran towards the deck.Lin Feng was also puzzled, and followed Hu Ruowu towards the deck.

"What's going on?" Hu Ruowu asked after calling the lieutenant general.

"I don't know, the signal was sent by that ship, and the last general has sent someone to inquire." The lieutenant replied.Originally, the ship was sailing at sea, but another ship suddenly sent an emergency signal.

"Quickly find out." Hu Ruowu said to the lieutenant general.Then he ordered the soldiers to prepare for battle.Today is not only their first sea voyage, but Lin Feng is also on board, if something goes wrong, it will be troublesome.

"General Hu, what's going on?" Lin Feng also came to the deck and asked Hu Ruowu.

"My lord, I don't know yet. It was a signal from another ship. The last general has already sent someone to inquire." Hu Ruowu said.

"What are you afraid of? We are the navy of the imperial court. If pirates really come, you have to go around us." Xin Hong said.In any case, although the naval division is not well equipped, it is also a majestic division of the court. When the pirates see it, they have to worry first.

"General Xin Hong is right." Lin Feng said: "We are the teachers of the imperial court."

"Yes, my lord. I will tell the soldiers." Hu Ruowu replied, and then went to appease the soldiers. After all, this is the first time to go to sea, and the soldiers have never experienced actual combat. The most important thing is that their training time It is still short and has no combat effectiveness at all.

"My lord." The deputy general hurried over and said to Hu Ruowu, "My lord, the news has come back. It was the ship that encountered pirates, but the pirates did not attack them, but a merchant ship. They asked for instructions." Are you going to the rescue?"

"Of course we need to be saved." Before Hu Ruowu could speak, Lin Feng spoke first.As the navy of the imperial court, they naturally want to protect the safety of the people.Now that there are pirates attacking merchant ships, there is no reason not to rescue them.

"But... But, the pirates are powerful, and their warships are much more than ours." The lieutenant replied.

"Is it because of this that they can't be rescued?" Lin Feng asked: "If so, what's the use of the navy?"

"Send the order, turn the rudder." Hu Ruowu said loudly: "Get ready for battle!"

The deputy general hesitated for a moment, didn't say anything, but hurried down to deliver the order.

"My lord, it's dangerous on the deck, my lord should go to the cabin first." Hu Ruowu said to Lin Feng.Once fighting, swords have no eyes, Hu Ruowu can't guarantee that Lin Feng will not be hurt by arrows.Let him stay in the cabin for safety.

Moreover, in the event of an accident, with the strength of this warship, it is no problem to escape.This is also the reason why Hu Ruowu agreed to fight.If Lin Feng wasn't on the boat, Hu Ruowu would have fought without hesitation, but if Lin Feng was on the boat, then Lin Feng's safety had to come first.

"No, I'm not the kind of civil servant who has no power to restrain a chicken." Lin Feng said: "This governor has led troops to fight in battles. Are you still afraid of these little thieves?"

"The last general is worrying too much." Hu Ruowu said.

"General Hu, you concentrate on commanding the battle, don't worry about me." Lin Feng said: "Now, you are the supreme commander on the battlefield, and everyone including me must follow your command, so you can give orders." Lin Feng said , made preparations for a battle.

"Well, the last general will give the order boldly." Hu Ruowu said, quickly giving the order to fight.Under Hu Ruowu's command, the entire warship moved quickly, and the soldiers began to prepare for battle.

Soon, the warship approached another warship.This warship is obviously much smaller and looks dilapidated.Looking at this warship, Lin Feng wondered in his heart whether this ship would sink?
"Put the sampan on." Hu Ruowu said loudly.

Under Hu Ruowu's order, many sampans were lowered, and soldiers stood on the sampans. There were three soldiers on each sampan.One rowed the oars, while the other two prepared for battle.

"Go around." Hu Ruowu roared loudly, there was no way, they couldn't hear it at all if the voice was too low.
