Chapter 361: Yangcheng Secret Whistle (7)
The two small ships fired grapeshotfire first.
The archers of the Tartars gathered more and more, and they were still lined up on the shore, which really looked down on my Wu family's naval army.
The grapeshotfire of the Daming Navy Army is two iron bowls tied with two iron wires, which contain more than a dozen iron pieces.
In fact, such as iron ball shells, grapeshot shells, and chain bombs, some of which were captured during the first attack on Geranza City by the Han and Tang groups and the second total annihilation of the Dutch fleet by the Han and Tang groups, can be exchanged with artillery to others.
But at that time, the Hantang Group was not reluctant, what a good pig iron resource is - at that time, it was also busy pouring pig iron for farm tools, acting as a good steel mouth, agricultural development, how can it be done without farm tools? !
Fortunately, the Ming people did not have the concept of artillery with shells, and they did not mention it, if they did, the Hantang Group would really have to give it to others - the Ming people really didn't take it seriously. All kinds of cannons, people will be tidy.
Grapeshells have a much shorter range, and are useful at a distance of one hundred and fifty meters, which are meant to strike the sails and sailors of opponents in close combat at sea.
Of course, the effect of striking the archers on the shore is the same, especially since they are still in a team.
After the first shot was fired, it was visible to the naked eye that the river on the bank of the Pearl River was also stirred up by a few cannons - among the archers who were shooting vigorously on the shore, three of them also shot blood splashes, and they fell backwards without saying a word, and another broke an arm.
Then the second cannon also sounded, and this time the attack area was a little bigger - the Ming Navy fired a twelve-pounder cannon this time, and knocked down six or seven at once, and the archers remembered that this time it was not the kind of Ming army they had encountered before, and the other party really dared to shoot at them, instead of turning around and running away.
The Tartar archers turned and fled, and the second Canton saw that it could not wait for a suitable position, so it fired in advance, and went down with two cannons, only to knock down two - the captain of the Ming Navy scolded the gunner: "Fight the streets, how good you are to load chain bullets!" ”
The gunner didn't dare to argue, and said in his heart, didn't you call it grapeshot?
After shooting three rounds in succession from the left deck of the two ships, they were about to turn around, and if they didn't turn around, they drifted away. At this time, the shortcomings of the Canton ship being inferior to the Fu ship were revealed, and the Canton ship was not convenient to operate!
The two boats made a big bend, and finally turned around, and the figure on the bank of the Pearl River was gone.
The two boats began to fire at the building carts that were placed side by side again, and after four more guns were wheeled three times, several of the building cars were scrapped, and then they turned around and came again.
This is not good-looking, hit a fixed target - Manager He Bin, who followed behind, put down the monoculars and made several judgments, first, the interval between their continuous firing was too long, and most of the time they went to adjust the gun carriage; secondly, this Guangzhou ship is still not suitable for warship, and it is too difficult to turn around; The third is obviously that the two boats are not skillfully coordinated.
This Daming Water Army is really water.
Manager He Bin led the fleet naturally down the river and moved away, and there were many people on this ship.
Inspector Feng followed closely behind, and when an officer of the navy asked him what he was doing in Guangzhou, he only said three words, and then smiled silently.
"Manager He—"
And then an unfathomable look.
I nodded my head to indicate that I understood.
When he arrived in the city of Guangzhou, Inspector Feng said to the sailors on the ship: "Brothers, go home quickly and bring your family back, I will wait here to keep an eye on Manager He's boat, and follow along-"
As soon as Feng Inspector turned around, Zheng Xiao had already rushed onto the dock, and after a few jumps, the person was gone.
This kid doesn't even follow his eldest brother for the sake of his son - forget it, let him go.
After Feng went home, he packed up his things overnight, and took his family on the boat early the next morning, and he saw Zheng Xiao holding his son at a glance and sitting on the boat seriously. The little squint eyes were still full of love, and the little slanted mouth didn't know what to say to the son in his arms, which made the son laugh out loud.
Inspector Feng looked back at his two daughters, who were now being led by her mother with one hand, with a timid look on her face.
At this time, he was angry, why! He wanted to find an opportunity to kick Zheng Xiao a few more times, but when he saw his son smiling happily, forget it, for your son's sake.
Feng Xun checked the number of people and found that there were more than a dozen brothers missing, and he was about to get angry, but he saw his daughter looking at him timidly, forget it, they will return to the team in the future, this is an extraordinary period.
When Manager He drove the boat, they followed closely behind, Manager He didn't care about them, and the other sailors didn't care about them.
Inspector Feng said proudly: "Haha, the gunboat will open the way for us!" ”
Then he found that he didn't echo himself, he saw that Zheng Xiao was still holding his son there, making his son happy seriously, and his ugly wife was also following him.
After a while, Inspector Feng said proudly: "Their gunboats are not as convenient as our river boats!" ”
Still no one agreed, Zheng Xiao was still doing the same thing there, Feng Xunjian said in his heart: "Hit the street, what kind of do you have, for the sake of your ugly wife's face-"
After thinking about it, he looked at his wife again, and she was really better looking than his wife, and his heart was a little happier.
The gunboats opened fire and sent the Tartars running around!
Inspector Feng glared and shouted, "Fight, fight!" Hit me hard! ”
"Big brother, where are you? All I could hear was the sound of cannonballs! ”
Inspector Feng was startled, and Zheng Xiao suddenly appeared behind him, looking into the distance hard, and was struggling to adjust the focus of his eyes.
To be honest, Feng Patrol can't see it clearly, and the shadow is enough.
But he pretended to see it very clearly, and said: "At two o'clock, this cannon will go down, and there will be countless casualties!" ”
"Okay, okay, if the eldest brother goes to release it, it will be more accurate!"
Well, Inspector Feng likes to hear this.
Inspector Feng followed Manager He's boat closely with three river boats.
The red flag on Manager He's boat had been completely opened in the wind, and two black dragons could be seen holding one - Feng Inspector couldn't see it clearly, but he knew to keep up.
In fact, when the first cannon sounded, Old Man Shang didn't care about anyone, he desperately ran to the back of a wall, and lay on his stomach honestly.
Outside, the sound of cannons and screams, he heard it as if he hadn't heard it, he had seen too many over the years - but it was a pity that his cigarette stick was broken, this is a fine jujube wood, more than ten years - but it didn't matter, he heard the sound of the building car outside being broken, there was a good sandalwood in it, find a piece for a while, and make another one by himself, it would not be troublesome.
After a long while, the cannon outside stopped, and the screams also stopped--Old Man Shang said in his heart: "Who are you saving?" I've never seen anyone who survived being bombarded—"
He looked first, and sure enough, there were no boats on the water, so he walked out of the wall, walked over to the smashed cars, and began to pick up the wood suitable for making cigarette sticks.
Well, he found a long strip of sandalwood, which looked suitable, but was crushed by a dead body.
He stepped forward quickly and pulled out from under him. The corpse moved, as if it still breathed.
Old man Shang repeatedly looked at the bloodstained wood in his hand, not to mention, it was really suitable, the wood was not said, there was no scarring - just right.
The man on the ground groaned and said, "Help me—"
Old man Shang took the wood in his hands, put his hands behind his back, and bent down to look at the archer.
There was a large wooden thorn on his chest, which was worn so deep that he could not live—it seemed to be more suitable for making a cigarette stick, and the lines were so neat.
Old man Shang laughed and said, "We are here to kill, rob, rob, and separate people's fields with the army, how can we save people?" If people resist, they will either kill them or ask them to kill them, who can blame them? We know better than anyone else, who makes them live better than me, with more silver taels and fields? ”
The man groaned and said, "I have silver on me." ”
Old man Shang said with a smile: "There will be this day, you have it first, I don't, I will live my own small life well, it will be very long-term if it is not good." Our master robbed the world, we picked up the fields, don't worry, after you die in a while, I will pick it up again - I won't rob others, I'll pick it up. ”
After saying that, Old Man Shang squatted down beside him, observed the lines of the wooden thorn, and thought, it would be good to have a bag of cigarettes at this time.
Pingnan Wang Shang Kexi was furious: "All the buildings and cars have been ruined by the Southern Barbarians?!" Ming'er, what do I use to attack the city?? Push out and kill, the first level patrol camp for seven days! ”
The officer in charge of the baggage was on the ground at that time, shouting: "Don't blame the minions, don't blame the minions!" ”。
Pingnan Wang Shang Kexi sneered and said, "I just learned a word, and you dare to use it indiscriminately?" You deserve to be a minion too?? I, King Pingnan, are—"
With that, he waved his hand, and the officer was immediately dragged out, leaving a wail all the way.
"The little ones don't dare, the little ones don't dare!"
In the Qing Dynasty during this period, only real Manchu ministers could call themselves slaves, because they were Manchus and their own people with the emperor, and their humble titles were more intimate and favorable.
However, in the eyes of the emperor, the Hanchen were always different from each other, so without this kind of "favor", the Qing Dynasty etiquette required that they could only call themselves "ministers", and they were not qualified to be called "slaves".
If he can call himself a "slave" if he has "grace", it is a "privilege" for the emperor to regard him as his own person and have a close relationship.
So minion is an honorific title in this period, really.
Geng Jimao, the king of Jingnan, said with a smile: "Uncle, this is all ready, Ming'er can't attack it yet-"
"Attack! Let them build a long ladder overnight, and attack it with the Southern Barbarians first! ”
"Uncle, it's a good way, they have cannons, I'll wait for someone, first consume their cannons and cannons, and when the cannons behind my army come up, I will definitely make them look good-"
