Seeing Guan Tianpei's face dark and staring at him without saying a word, Yi Zhizu felt a little scared, so he turned his face and refused to look at him and said to Deng Tingzhen: "Master Huimentang, European countries are in frequent wars. Many of the crew and sailors who came to Guangzhou to trade have experienced one or two wars. They have talked a lot with them for learning Yiyu. They have heard of many Western wars. They know that military affairs are not enough, and at most they are talking about wars on paper."

"Talking about war on paper?" Guan Tianpei said with disdain: "You are really good at joking. You are just chatting with people, and you dare to talk about war on paper. Zhao Kuo has read a few military books after all."

He asked him for money and was so sarcastic that Yi Zhizu was so angry. However, thinking of the other party's identity, he forced himself to suppress it. Now that he was the slaughter and the fish were fish, Yuan Qi had no power to protect himself. Now he could not afford to offend the military and political officials in Guangzhou. He regretted that he was too busy and gave him 200,000 to 300,000, which was very happy.

But he knew that the Raven War broke out, the Humen Fort fell, Guan Tianpei died in battle, and the British army was at the city of Guangzhou. He didn't want history to repeat itself. His foundation is now in Xiguan and Henan Island, and his private army is still on paper. If you want to stop the British army from coming to the city, you have to rely on Guan Tianpei. As for the Guangdong Navy, he really dare not rely on him.

After pondering for a moment, he said, "The Guan Junmen has been serving as the navy admiral for four years."

"All the plan is three years and eight months."

"I heard that since Guan Junmen took office, he has been committed to strengthening maritime defense and defense, and has devoted himself to the reconstruction of the Weiyuan and Jingyuan Fortresses of Humen. I wonder how the navy soldiers trained?"

"What does it mean?" Guan Tianpei said in a deep voice, with huge pressure in his voice.

Deng Tingzhen also felt that he was a little arrogant. He glanced at him and said, "Since Guan Jun took office, he has actively supervised and rectified the navy, removed the weak, practiced military skills, and practiced artillery accurately. The Guangdong navy is now able to fight elite soldiers, and is content and cannot be arrogant."

Can you fight against elite soldiers? This is a joke. Yi Zhizu looked at Guan Tianpei and said, "Since he can fight against elite soldiers, I want to make a bet with the military."

"Betting?" Deng Tingzhen and Guan Tianpei looked at him in surprise. I don't know what he was selling.

"Next month, Citi state-owned warships will escort the fleet to Guangzhou. Let's go for a practical exercise. The warships cruising in the river, firing artillery attacks the turret, and the turret counterattacks, and the turrets will fire at one volley. If you can hit five shots, Yuan Qi will give silver one million, and if you can hit three shots. Give silver 300,000, hit three shots below. How about the on-site inspection at Humen in the lower side?"

Guan Tianpei was stunned and said, "Practical exercise? Really fired a gun?"

"Yes! Real guns and live ammunition, but not real guns and live ammunition, it is difficult to see the real situation." Yi Zhizu said: "Don't worry, if there are casualties, Yuan Qi will pay the silver pension, and according to the court's pension regulations, Yuan Qi will also be responsible for the damage to the Citi warship."

Deng Tingzhen and Guan Tianpei couldn't help but look at each other. Both of them knew that with Yishi's identity, it was impossible to joke in front of them. It seemed that the other party was not heartbroken, but did not believe in the combat power of the navy.

Three hundred thousand! One million! How many cannons can you buy! Guan Tianpei felt like a cat scratching his heart, but he didn't dare to agree. He knew the situation of the turret, and hit three or five shells in one round. What a joke. With this level, he still needs to buy a cannon?

Seeing that Guan Tianpei didn't say anything, Deng Tingzhen said, "You should not talk nonsense when you are content. The Guan army loves soldiers as much as your son, so how can you allow live-fire exercises..."

"Elite soldiers are not trained, but fought." Yi Zhizu said in a deep voice: "For peace, all the officers and soldiers of the Guangdong Navy have not been through battle. Once they are in battle, they will probably be difficult to perform 30% of their usual training results."

"It's right." Guan Tianpei smiled and said, "It seems that my governor underestimated the Conscience and Yuan Qi. He dared to make a bet with the Conscience with one million! It's true that it's not comparable to ordinary merchants." After a pause, he said, "Does Conscience have a way to increase the chance of hitting the cannons?"

"Yi Quezure said unhumblely.

Seeing that his answer was so straightforward, Guan Tianpei asked skeptically: "Is it really sure to be content?"

After hesitating for a moment, Yi Zhizu said: "Can you tell the truth?"

"Say, just say it." Guan Tianpei said cheerfully: "I still like to listen to the truth."

He glanced at the door, Yi Zhizu turned his head to look at Deng Tingzhen and said, "Can you forgive me first? Otherwise, I really don't have the courage to say it."

Seeing that he was so cautious, Deng Tingzhen and Guan Tianpei were a little surprised. This boy dared to talk to them in front of the two first-rank officials without any timidity. Now he told the truth, but he had to forgive his sins first. What was the matter? After pondering for a moment, Deng Tingzhen said: "If you are content, just say that everything is the main office for you."

As he was guessing that what he was talking about was not small, Guan Tianpei got up and walked to the door, shouted to the entourage who was waiting in the corridor outside the door, "Get back." The few people who were waiting pushed down, closed the door, then turned back and sat down, and said, "Just be content and speak boldly."

Yi Zhizu nodded and said, "The military gate needs to buy artillery to strengthen the defense of Humen. Yuan Qi is willing to use this silver. Not to mention one hundred artillery, two hundred or three hundred, Yuan Qi will not be shirked at all, but Yuan Qi does not want to throw the silver into the water. No matter how many artillery there are, someone will need to operate it..."

"What does it mean?" Guan Tianpei said: "The navy has more than 10,000 officers and soldiers..."

Deng Tingzhen said in a deep voice: "Does the knowledge do not trust the navy officers and soldiers?"

"Yes! Don't trust!" Yi Zhizu said without hesitation. He was not talking nonsense. He had visited Humen and knew clearly what the battle between Humen was like back then. Humen, which had more than 400 artillery, thousands of muskets, and tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, was captured by the British army in just one day. More than 700 people including Guan Tianpei were killed in battle, more than 8,000 were captured, but more than 38 people ran away, but the British army only suffered 38 casualties!

He was not sure whether these data were trustworthy, but there was one thing that was not controversial. In just one day, Humen was captured. How dare he trust the officers and soldiers of Guangdong Navy? He naturally had to prevent problems.

Seeing that he said so bluntly that he did not believe in the navy officers and soldiers, Guan Tianpei's face was so gloomy that it could almost drip out of water, Deng Tingzhen asked, "Why?"
