Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 260

[Chapter 260 Outburst]

“Who wants to go to Nan Daying?”

After returning from the palace, Chang Wei summoned the generals.

After briefly talking about the flintlock, he immediately chose a general.

An army of 30,000 needs three captains to lead it.

“General, the last general will go.” Bai Shang raised his hand, his eyes sparkling.

His Royal Highness King Yan’s new firearms army, such a good thing has no reason not to go.

Everyone can see the power of artillery.

Commanding such an army will definitely make great military exploits.

“General, and the last general.” Qin Shan rolled his eyes.

“The last general is going too.” Guan Tong also stood up.

“There is also the last general.” Wei Qun cupped his hands.

“…”

Seven of the eight captains who stayed in Yancheng were eager to try.

Lu Chang folded his arms and looked at the other captains, and said to Chang Wei: “If the last general doesn’t go, it’s better to fight with real swords and guns.”

“It’s just good if you don’t go, and there is one less person to fight with us.” Qin Shan shouted .

“Yes.” The others ordered to agree.

Lu Chang glanced at his mouth, not bothering to talk to them.

Chang Wei glanced at Lu Chang. This kid has always been a stabbing head, and he likes to fight in close combat.

It’s really not suitable for commanding an army equipped with flintlock guns.

Facing the seven people who were going, Chang Wei frowned.

These seven people are all good, although four of them are his old subordinates, but he can’t seek personal gain.

He was thinking about who to let go, Bai Shang said: “The three of you are juniors, you can’t compete with us.”

Then he looked at Qin Shan, Wei Qun, and Guan Tong, and said: “The four of us guess punches, whoever wins will go. ”

The four of Qin Shan naturally had no objection, so they wanted to guess the game.

At this moment, a captain said: “This is not acceptable. Why are there any juniors in the army? Seniors, as long as they can fight, we don’t accept it.”

“We don’t accept it.” The other two young captains said at the same time, standing behind the captain who spoke first.

“Huo An, do you want to fight? That’s fine, whoever wins the fight will go.” Bai Shang rolled up his arms.

Chang Wei glared at the seven of them at this time, “What are you doing, pretending that the general doesn’t exist one by one, Bai Shang, are you looking for it? In the Royal Army, only ability is considered, regardless of the order.” Bai Shang

immediately laughed, They were still afraid of Chang Wei, “General, I’m just kidding around.”

Chang Wei snorted, unable to restrain these gangsters, he would no longer be a general.

Immediately he said: “All seven of you go to the South Camp, and I will give you a team of recruits. Whoever trains well stays, and whoever trains poorly, get out!”

“Yes, general.” The seven said in unison.

Now they don’t have to rob, each according to his own ability.

Lu Chang showed a look of disappointment, “Unfortunately, there was no fight.”

Chang Wei glared at him upon hearing this. Lu Chang shrank his neck, laughed twice, and slipped away.

…

Wangfu.

After Chang Wei and Liu Fu left, Zhao Xu went back to his study and drew the usual formation of the flintlock army.

Although the flintlock has not been equipped yet, the formation needs to be practiced in advance.

In this way, you only need to practice the loading and shooting of the flintlock.

He is busy.

Suddenly Feng’er hurried in with a panicked expression.

“Your Highness, something has happened. Chief Chen, the naval officer of Jinghai County, asked to see him. He…he was injured and said he was attacked.”

“What!” Zhao Xu was shocked when he heard this.

Chen Shou has been supervising the construction of warships in Jinghai County, how could he be attacked.

Putting down his pen, he hurriedly got up and walked out.

At this time, Zhou Yi came to meet him, and was about to report to Zhao Xu the number of people from Jinzhou brought in.

Seeing Zhao Xu’s anxious expression, he put down the book and followed.

When he came to the front yard of the palace, Zhao Xu saw Chen Shou with a bandage on his arm.

“Your Highness, I should die!” Seeing Zhao Xu, Chen Shou knelt on the ground and cried.

Zhao Xu immediately helped Chen Shou up, and he said, “Well, what’s going on here!”

Tears welled up in the corners of Chen Shou’s eyes, “Two days ago, my subordinates supervised the building of warships on the coast of Jinghai County as usual, and suddenly I didn’t know where to go. A group of pirates came out from everywhere, and the soldiers of the guarding ship company resisted with all their strength, but this group of pirates used a weapon that could emit noise and flames.” As

if recalling the horrible scene, he said: “The soldiers have not yet When I got close, I was killed and injured by this weapon, and the arm of the subordinate was also hit, because I couldn’t resist it, so I had to retreat.”

“As a result, these pirates occupied the coast and burned the keel that was built… …”

Hearing this, Zhao Xu was furious, unable to speak for a moment.

The shipbuilder invested more than three million taels of silver in purchasing wood, and it was completely destroyed.

The most important thing is that this wastes the time of building ships and delays sea trade.

Seeing that Zhao Xu’s face was pale, Feng’er hurriedly stroked Zhao Xu’s back, her small face was full of anger.

Seeing King Yan like this, Chen Shou felt even more guilty. When he saw the doorpost next to him, he turned around and was about to bump into it.

Xu Lie had sharp eyes and quick hands, and immediately pulled Chen Shou back.

“I still have the face to live in this world.” Xu Lie was very strong, but Chen Shou couldn’t struggle, and burst into tears.

Zhao Xu’s mind went blank for a while, and then he came to his senses.

He said the pirates used weapons with sound and light.

Taking a deep breath, he said, “Boss Chen, it’s not time to die or live. Do you want to die if you don’t pay these destroyed warships to me?

” The king was actually persuading him, and he burst into tears, “Your Highness…”

“Stop your tears first, and tell me the whole story.” Zhao Xu said.

Chen Shou nodded, then turned around, took a stick-shaped weapon from the soldier behind him, and presented it to Zhao Xu, “Your Highness, it is this kind of weird weapon. It ‘s here.”

When Zhao Xu saw it, his eyes suddenly became sharp.

What Chen Shou was holding was obviously a matchlock gun.

He took it and took a closer look. The barrel of this gun was forged by winding iron sheets.

This barrel forging technique is the same as that of the contemporary Ming Dynasty.

It belongs to the most basic gun barrel forging technique. In fact, it is to take an iron rod, and the blacksmith holds a red-hot iron sheet around the iron rod to hit.

The disadvantage of this barrel is obvious, that is, it is easy to explode.

There was still a matchlock hanging from the back of the barrel at this time.

“The pirates who attacked us clamored that they belonged to the owner of Wufeng Island.” Chen Shou added.

“Island Master Wufeng, Lu Zheng.” Zhou Yi called out suddenly.

Zhao Xu looked at Zhou Yi, “Do you know who is the owner of Wufeng Island?”

“I’ve heard that this Lu is the biggest pirate in the sea. Even if the Liang family wants to conduct business, they have to pay him the road money.” Zhou Yi said.

After thinking for a while, he continued: “And this Lu is from Dasong, but he has belonged to Dongying, and he regards himself as Dongying. He has a lot of helpers under his command, and he has recruited many Dongying rogues.

” The brighter he was, until he met Zhao Xu’s sharp eyes, he suddenly realized something and closed his mouth.

“Lu Zheng!” Zhao Xu repeated these two words.

He didn’t care who Lu was, if he provoked him, he would definitely make him pay a heavy price.
