Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 832

[Chapter 832 Vision]

“Your Majesty, the British guns and artillery have arrived.”

A group of people were talking when suddenly an eunuch trotted over and said to Liang Kai.

“Where is it?” Liang Kai was overjoyed.

He looked forward to the stars and the moon all day long, and finally he looked forward to the British guns and artillery.

Brooke and Luthor looked at each other when they heard this, and were equally overjoyed.

“According to the person who sent the letter, we have already passed the boundary of Lu County and entered Bazhou, and we will arrive in less than three days.” The eunuch said.

“Great, great.” Liang Kai danced happily.

Xie Duan, Han Zheng, and Wang Zi’an were also happy.

They suffered too much under the guns of King Yan.

Now, at last, they had a musket they could use.

“Send someone to meet him immediately.” Thinking of something, Liang Kai immediately urged.

This county of Lu belongs to the northernmost county of Yunzhou and is adjacent to Bazhou, while other counties of Yunzhou are adjacent to Yizhou.

Therefore, since he came to Bazhou, it means that the three families in the south of the Yangtze River have gathered together to be neighbors and support each other.

This time it was the army of Nanping that transported the guns and artillery.

The eunuch answered yes, turned and left.

Three days later, a team of 2,000 people came to Bacheng.

The Nanping soldiers in the team pulled the baggage carts one after another.

“How many muskets and field artillery were sent in total this time?” Brooke asked.

He single-handedly supervised the arms deal.

“A total of 8,000 muskets and 12 field cannons. Even so, they were picked out from between the teeth. After all, they should be given priority to the Franks, Sterdans and Francines, and some of them arrived directly from Tianzhu. Gave it to Tubo and handed it over to Beidi people.”

There was a Briton in the delivery team. He was responsible for tracking the guns and artillery throughout the whole process, and at the same time recovered the silver taels for the purchase of firearms.

After a pause, he continued: “The governor specifically ordered that the 8,000 muskets should be given priority to the mercenaries, and the rest will be theirs.”

“Hahaha, I like Bolt.” Luther was overjoyed , “My soldiers equipped with this musket can fight more than 100,000 powerful soldiers.”

“So, we can only get 3,000?” Liang Kai’s fiery heart was half cold.

Brooke said: “Aren’t the mercenaries also your soldiers?”

“That’s right.” Liang Kai became happy again.

In the Battle of Jinling, these mercenaries worked very hard.

Then, he asked Liang Feng to hand over the prepared silver to the British.

He also ordered the Imperial Guard generals to take away 3,000 muskets and 12 field cannons.

But before that, he picked twenty Janissaries soldiers to test their guns.

“Bang bang bang…” There was a burst of gunfire.

Liang Kai immediately sent people to check on the temporary target.

Not long after, the soldiers who went to investigate came back, “Your Majesty, the plank at 300 meters has been penetrated.”

Liang Kai and the others were all stunned.

The Briton who transported the muskets said, “The effective range of this batch of muskets is 360 meters, and the accuracy within 200 meters is very high.”

Liang Kai nodded suddenly, delighted, it was completely different from their muskets.

He hurriedly asked, “When will the next batch of firearms arrive?”

“It will take one and a half months at the earliest.” The Briton said, “And the quantity is almost 8,000. Tianzhu’s workshops have limited output, and we only give them to Beidi. Three thousand.”

“It’s a pity.” Liang Kai was a little disappointed, but also looking forward to it, “I really hope that this day will come soon.”

After receiving the muskets, everyone returned to the city.

Liang Kai specially hosted a banquet for the British and Nanping generals who escorted the guns and artillery.

At this moment, their gloomy mood due to the fall of Changcheng became clear, and they saw hope again.

There is no longer a scruple about imposing heavy taxes.

Only if they last longer can they wait for more guns and artillery, and in the future, they will launch a big counterattack against King Yan with the people of Xitu and Beidi.

…

Jinling.

While Liang Kai was accepting the firearms, Zhao Xu and Zhongli went to Sioux City and Songcheng to establish temporary government agencies.

Compared with the desolation in the past, the triangular area of the three cities of Jinling, Sioux City and Songcheng is now bustling with people patrolling the fields everywhere.

Every year during the summer harvest, the common people will inspect their fields in this way, and even live beside the fields, in order to prevent wildfires and theft.

After all, in five or six days, the rice will be ready for harvesting.

They don’t want to lose this season’s harvest.

“The two lakes are familiar with the world, and it really deserves its name.”

Zongma and Zhongli galloped on the official road, and the rice fields on the right side of the official road stretched to the sky like gold.

The rice field on the left extends to the edge of a huge lake that stretches as far as the eye can see.

This huge freshwater lake is the contemporary Taihu Lake in Suzhou.

Surrounding Taihu Lake are countless fertile fields.

“With control of this place, Jiangbei will never be short of food again.” Zhongli said.

In the past, the food in Jiangbei was not enough, but it all depended on the food in Jiangnan.

Then he realized something, “No, we have enough food in Jiangbei, and there is a lot of surplus. I am afraid that we will have to worry about food in the future.”

Zhao Xu laughed for a while, and he said: “You can just I was wrong, if there is a surplus of food, it can be used to raise livestock, and in the next few years, this king will let the people of Dasong eat meat, egg and milk.”

Although he knows that it is temporarily impossible for the common people to have meat.

But there is still hope for a meal of meat and fish every now and then.

War is war, he must not follow the old path of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the country will become poorer and poorer as it fights.

But to follow the path of Li Shimin, the country will become richer and richer.
