Chapter 188 Rebels
"My lord, please don't worry." Yao Xing said, "We will find out the information your lord needs as quickly as possible."

"Well, I'll wait for your good news." Lin Feng nodded to Yao Xing and said.

After taking the order, Yao Xing led everyone in the intelligence organization to get busy.Lin Feng was concerned about guns and artillery, so he made a special trip to Tom's place.Seeing Lin Feng coming, Tom excitedly introduced his latest research results to Lin Feng again.

There is a good saying: "Money can make ghosts turn the mill." Lin Feng was willing to give up the money, and Tom worked very hard.Various improvements emerged one after another.Although the problem of loading ammunition for muskets has not been completely solved, a lot of improvements have been made.This made Lin Feng very satisfied.

"My lord, take a look at our improved artillery." Tom said to Lin Feng very excitedly.After taking Lin Feng's money, Tom naturally began to think of ways to improve meticulously.Not to mention, it really made him find a way to improve.

The original artillery is usually loaded with a solid big iron ball, and its power mainly depends on the penetrating power of the iron ball to hurt people.But the coverage is very limited.Lin Feng once asked Tom if he could make a cannon with a larger coverage.Lin Feng remembered that there seemed to be such artillery in the Ming Dynasty, but he didn't remember the specifics.

Compared with the single type of artillery in the Yan Dynasty, there were many types of artillery in the Ming Dynasty. It is a pity that Lin Feng is not a professional, and most of what he knows is obtained from the Internet.Very limited, and many of these things, he is also very vague.

However, as long as he has a rough idea, Lin Feng has a way to make him a reality.Although he doesn't know how to make it, he has craftsmen.As long as he gives a general description of this artillery, the rest will be left to the craftsmen to study.

Now, what Tom took Lin Feng to see was the task that Lin Feng gave to Tom before he left.To be precise, it is an order.If it can't be completed, Lin Feng will not pay his salary.This is very deterrent to Tom.

"My lord, please look." Pointing to a very ugly cannon barrel, Tom said to Lin Feng.

When seeing the so-called cannon, Lin Feng almost didn't laugh.Yes, laugh out loud.This cannon is really ugly.Moreover, you said that you should make it look better anyway.Two big iron nails were found from nowhere to support a cannon barrel, and there was nothing else.

Seeing that Lin Feng couldn't help laughing, Tom said to Lin Feng very seriously: "Master, although this artillery is a bit ugly, he thinks it is practical. This is the work of Mu Jin and I. After half a month of research, we finally got it. from."

"You and Steward Mu Jin did the research together?" Lin Feng asked in surprise.It stands to reason that Mu Jin is not very interested in these Western craftsmen, why would he study with them?

"Yes, we studied together." Tom said seriously.I don't know how the two of them reconciled and can study together.However, Lin Feng didn't bother to study the gossip, and he didn't have the leisure to study it.

"What can this artillery do?" Lin Feng said, pointing at the ugly artillery.You said that anyway, you should make it look better.This is really not good-looking.Get a cannon barrel, and then use two big iron nails to support it. How can it not match the cannon?

"My lord, don't underestimate this kind of artillery." Seeing that Lin Feng seemed to look down on this kind of artillery, Tom quickly said: "My lord, this kind of artillery should be similar to the kind of artillery you mentioned. Moreover, this kind of artillery There is no need for special shells. If there are no shells, pebbles, nails, etc. can become shells.”

"So amazing?" Lin Feng asked in disbelief.If small stones and iron nails can be used as cannonballs, then wouldn't this kind of artillery only need to carry enough gunpowder?If so, it would save a lot of trouble.

Nodding his head, Tom said: "Yes, my lord. However, the only fly in the ointment is that the range of this kind of artillery is very short, probably a little farther than the musket. Or, you can call this kind of artillery a dense musket. Because it One man can take the place of almost a hundred musketeers."

"So powerful?" Lin Feng said.If such a cannon can replace hundreds of musketeers, wouldn't it mean that one of his men could be used as a hundred, and wouldn't the number of his army increase a hundred times in an instant?

"Yes, my lord." Tom said, "However, what I want to tell you is that this kind of artillery cannot be used alone. Although he is not picky about ammunition, it is a bit troublesome to load. However, if you cooperate with a large force , the close range kill is very impressive."

Tom's words instantly shattered Lin Feng's fantasy.Also, there is no such easy thing.However, this kind of artillery made Lin Feng very curious.Finally, under Lin Feng's repeated request, Tom reloaded and fired once.

Seeing that the beaten ones were almost like sieve targets, Lin Feng said a word: "Produce, speed up production for me, this is a good thing."

After being shocked, Lin Feng remembered, isn't this the tiger crouching cannon from the Ming Dynasty?However, it is obvious that the tiger crouching gun made by Tom is still different from the tiger squatting gun of the Ming Dynasty.However, in terms of function, it is almost the same.

"Does this cannon have a name?" Lin Feng asked.

"Not yet," replied Tom.

The thief smiled, and Lin Feng said: "Since there is no name yet, I will give you a name." After Lin Feng finished speaking, he walked around the cannon twice in a serious manner, and said, "Look at his appearance, he is the same as squatting. It’s a bit similar to my tiger, why don’t we call it Tiger Crouching Pao!” Although it was a discussion tone, Lin Feng’s mouth clearly revealed a tone of command.

Originally, according to Frangji's practice, whoever invented the artillery would be named after him.Tom has already thought about it. As an outsider, he should be more modest and put Mu Jin's name at the front, calling it: Mu Jin Tom Pao.It's a pity that Lin Feng didn't give him a chance, so he named it on his own.For Lin Feng's name, can he, Tom, say no to it?Obviously not.

Seeing what Tom seemed to be thinking, Lin Feng asked again: "What do you think?"

"Very good, very vivid." Tom could only say against his will.After coming to Dayan Dynasty for a while, Tom also understood some unspoken rules of Dayan Dynasty.Sometimes, you have to say something against your will, otherwise, the consequences will be serious.

"Then let's call it that. This tiger crouching cannon needs to be mass-produced, so it's very practical." Lin Feng said.Just imagine, if when the two armies were fighting, if he came up and baptized him with a round of shells, no matter who he was, he wouldn't be able to stand it.

"Yes, my lord. We will produce it as soon as possible. But, will the muskets and artillery continue to be produced?" Tom asked.He only has such a small number of people, and if he produces this, he cannot produce that. This is inevitable.Now that Lin Feng wants to produce everything, naturally, Tom's manpower is not enough.

"Continue to produce." Lin Feng replied without thinking.

Looking at Lin Feng, Tom said with some embarrassment: "My lord, we are short of manpower. If the production of this tiger squat gun starts, the guns and artillery will have to stop."

"Can't stop!" Lin Feng said immediately.Just kidding, these are the capital of Lin Feng's survival. If he doesn't have these things, he will have few troops. If he wants to occupy a piece of land in the future, he will also need capital.

"But, sir, we don't have enough manpower." Tom said to Lin Feng.He naturally knew that Lin Feng hoped to produce more, but where could he find it?Besides, the craftsmen recruited directly have to be trained, which will take time, and it is not something that Lin Feng can produce just by saying production.

"In this way, I will come to assist you as a supervisor." Lin Feng said: "The production of muskets and artillery has temporarily slowed down. But, you must get me more of these tiger crouching guns as soon as possible."

"Yes, my lord," replied Tom.Anyway, he acted according to Lin Feng's wishes.

Excitedly coming out of Tom's workshop, Lin Feng asked Niu Jin beside him, "Have you seen the usefulness of this tiger crouching cannon?"

"My lord, what is the use of this tiger squat cannon?" Niu Jin said.He has been following Lin Feng and watching.This tiger squatting cannon has a short range. Although the fired shells cover a wide range, what is the use of that?
"Think about it, if when the two armies are fighting, we come up and use this tiger squat cannon to fight a round first, have you ever thought about the result?" Lin Feng asked.Thinking of this, Lin Feng smiled unconsciously in his heart.The enemy rushed over enthusiastically, but they all fell under the shells of the tiger squatting cannon.This is the real weapon to kill the enemy.

Hearing what Lin Feng said, Niu Jin thought for a while and said, "Yes, my lord. This tiger squatting cannon has a short range, but its power is not small. Besides, other people will definitely not pay attention to this tiger squatting cannon. The more they don't pay attention, the more we hurt them."

"Smart." Lin Feng said happily.Niu Jin has been by Lin Feng's side for such a long time, let alone, he didn't notice it before, but now it seems that he still has a sense of wit.

"Hey, it's all taught well by adults." Niu Jin scratched his head and said to Lin Feng in a naive manner.

"Okay, let's go back. There are still a lot of things waiting to be dealt with." Lin Feng said to Niu Jin.Although Lin Feng usually looks like he is not doing his job properly, in fact, this is just a way for Lin Feng to relax.As the governor of the three provinces, although many things are entrusted to his trusted subordinates, many things still need to be handled by Lin Feng himself.After all, as the governor of the three provinces, Lin Feng has Lin Feng's responsibility.

Just after returning to the left-behind department, he bumped into Li Wenyuan who was looking for Lin Feng.

Seeing Li Wenyuan rushing over, Lin Feng asked, "What's the matter? You're in such a hurry."

"My lord, look at this." Li Wenyuan said, and handed the opened document to Lin Feng.

After receiving the document, Lin Feng glanced at it and said to Li Wenyuan, "Follow me to the study."

After coming to the study, Lin Feng closed the door and asked, "Is this true?"

Nodding his head, Li Wenyuan said, "It's true. The officer was also taken aback at the time, so he specially sent someone to investigate. It's true."

"It's really daring." Lin Feng slapped the table and said: "It seems that the officialdom in Jiangnan should be cleaned up, and what needs to be cleaned up must be cleaned up!"

"My lord, we already have a lot of things to do now, if we clean up the interior, will it cause more trouble?" Li Wenyuan asked.After all, the current Jiangnan is already undercurrent. If Lin Feng starts to clean up some officials who were left behind at this time, it will definitely cause the officials to be unstable.
