Chapter 157: Cannon Cheng persuades to enter
(Thank you for your monthly ticket from SHAJIA~~)
Although Yangzhou is also troubled by spring famine, it is located in the hinterland of Huaiyang and is a prosperous Jiangnan across the river. The situation is more than thousands of times better than Li Zicheng. The only thing that puts pressure is not the shortage of military rations, but the fact that Li Xin asked not to teach Yangzhou that one person starved to death by starving to death by starving to the three prefectures and eight counties of Yangzhou.
Li Xin was reading the reports gathered everywhere, and suddenly Huang Hai came to report: "Commander-in-Chief, the first batch of F001117 and F002093 type field artillery have been transported from Gaoyou. Should I go and take a look now?"
"oh?"
Li Xin was overjoyed. He had not moved his troops for the past few months, just waiting for the Napoleon gun to be released.
There are two Napoleon guns, 12-pound field guns and 6-pound field guns. Li Xin also imitated these two models, but his number is no longer a traditional number. Instead, according to the German number of artillery during World War II, the F mark is the field guns, and they are named as 001117 and 002093 respectively. The first three numbers are normal numbers, and the last three digits correspond to the caliber.
This naming method is very uncomfortable. At that time, the artillery was named either a divine cannon or a general cannon. It was called the majestic cannon and never considered the rules. But this was the name given by Li Xin himself. There was no way, so he could only adapt.
"Go and have a look!"
Li Xin immediately stood up and said, "Notify more people and go see them together!"
"Get orders!"
Huang Hai Shi Shu withdrew.
In a moment, hundreds of people left the city in a mighty manner. In addition to the curious civil and military personnel, there were also Hong Niangzi, Gao Guiying and his daughter, Huiying and Zhou Han and Caiyi and Caishang.
The Hongniang and Li Xin were newlywed. When they were in love with each other, they wanted to stay by Li Xin for twelve hours a day. She was not a lady from a noble family and would not be as respectful as an ordinary woman. She deliberately showed some distantness and did not have the idea of a wife valent but not lustful. She only knew that she loved Li Xin deeply and should give her full body and mind to Li Xin.
On the bed, after experiencing the initial shyness, she gradually took the initiative to please Li Xin and cherish every moment of her lingering time. She wanted to keep the person beside her. It just so happened that Li Xin was a modern person. She would not look down on her because of Hong Niang's initiative. Instead, she felt a sense of blending with fish and water, which also made Hong Niang's status in his heart become heavier and heavier. This is her wife, a woman she must protect and cherish for the rest of her life!
Of course, the matchmaker is not unreasonable. He often drives Li Xin to Gao Guiying to spend the night. Gao Guiying is also grateful and has a closer relationship with the matchmaker.
The group of people slowly marched towards the schoolyard, and Caiyi Caishang sat in a black car. Although the car was as stuffy as a steamer under the direct sunlight, their skin could not be directly exposed to the early summer sunlight, otherwise they would be burned. The too bright sunlight would also make them dizzy and even faint from heatstroke. However, even though the front and backs of the chest were wet, strands of hair were pressed onto their cheeks, and their mood was extremely comfortable, just like a canary in the cage, finally flying into the vast world outside.
"Caishang, look over there, there is a big yellow dog, hehe, running with his tail between his legs, and looking back!"
Through a small window that was lifted, Caiyi smiled happily.
Cai Shang also leaned over her head and looked at everything outside the car novelly, but for some reason, her nose suddenly became sore, and several large tears fell down like broken pearls.
Caiyi's heart was also inexplicably sour and astringent, and she choked and said, "Caishang, don't cry, everything will be fine. Meeting Mr. Li is our blessing. We will eventually be like normal people, walking in the sunshine, and serving Mr. Li for the rest of our lives, like normal women."
"Yeah~~"
Cai Shang nodded with tears in her eyes, then burst into laughter: "Oh, our good days have just begun, we shouldn't cry, come on, little beauty, give my sister a laugh!"
"I'm ashamed, what sister, you're not as old as me!"
"Who said that?"
Caiyi proudly held her chest out.
"You're going to die, you're not much older than me!"
Cai Shang spat and reached out to Cai Yi and grabbed it. The two girls played for a while, both panting before they put their heads on the window again. The two beautiful faces under the edge of the window were filled with happiness and expectations for a better future.
The schoolyard was not far away. Soon, Li Xin and others rushed to the schoolyard. There were six cannons in the corner, four 117 and two 093. Unlike the rough and wider artillery that were generally used at that time, these six cannons were compact in structure and the long barrels brought a different aesthetic. The grainy dark color looked very strong at first glance. The tall wheels seemed to be able to cross thousands of mountains and rivers to anywhere they wanted to go.
Everyone surrounded them, touching left and right, and applauding.
Sun Di couldn't help but praise: "Young Master Li, this cannon is so beautiful, you are there..."
As she was talking, Li Xin suddenly reached out to cover her mouth and then made a zipper that she couldn't understand.
Sun Di's pretty face turned red and almost let it go. Only she, Zhou Han and Hong Niangzi knew about Li Xin's bizarre experience. This was the secret of the four of them. She couldn't help but stick out her tongue in fear. However, thinking that Li Xin took advantage of it for no reason, his little heart was quite unhappy and glared fiercely.
"How about it?"
Li Xin turned around and asked.
"Commander-in-Chief, you can fire now!"
Fei San is from the bypass.
"Okay, everyone will spread apart!"
Li Xin nodded.
Everyone retreated to the side and looked at the cannons curiously.
The biggest advantage of the Napoleon cannon is its ease of firing. In addition, Li Xin fully promoted the fixed ammunition in the army. It was ready in a short while, but what surprised everyone was that the new cannon did not need to be ignited, but instead inserted a latch into the fire door and tied a rope. With a command, the four people who assisted in firing turned around and plugged their ears, and another person pulled the rope violently!
"boom!"
The fire at the muzzle flashed, and the sound of breaking through the air in the sky was sharp and sharp. In a moment, a shocking sound came from the target about two miles away, and even the mound of soil on the target was blown to pieces.
Everyone was stunned for a moment. You must know that only the red cannons can reach one mile, but the new type of cannons can reach two mile, which completely subverted their perception. Only Hong Niangzi, Zhou Han and Sun Di looked at each other and smiled.
They all understand what's going on, and this is their common secret.
"Boom boom boom!"
The artillery was firing continuously, and the shells hit the target one by one, shocked and surprised again and again. Everyone in the field was speechless, not knowing what to say, but their eyes were full of excitement.
In fact, the standard range of the Napoleon cannon is 1.5 kilometers. The range of the cannon imitated by Li Xin is only two-thirds. However, the former is a bronze cast cannon and the latter is a cast iron cannon. Even if it is used with the most advanced ductile iron, Li Xin dare not use enough gunpowder.
But taking a step back, the range of two miles is far greater than that of the Red Cannon. Even the smaller Type 093 has a range equivalent to the existing Red Cannon. Obviously, Type 093 is easier to carry in mountainous areas and rugged and difficult places.
Xing San said excitedly: "Commander-in-Chief, with these two new artillery, who else in the world can stop the pace of our revolutionary army? The old man suggested that the commander-in-chief attack Nanjing immediately, take Nanjing as the capital, and establish a country!"
Huang Hai also bowed violently: "Please be the commander-in-chief to be king!"
"Please call the commander-in-chief Jian to be king!"
