Lin Yuanfu didn't understand Li Yan's meaning either. Just a rough translation. Unexpectedly, Washington rolled his eyes after hearing this, and immediately said that he had admired oriental culture for a long time, and hoped that Li Yan could give him a Chinese name.
His little thoughts are not too deep, but this is what Li Yan hopes to see. If he flirts with old man Lin and has too obvious hostility towards the red flag pirates, then Li Yan has no choice but to use them and kill them to avoid future troubles.
So Li Yan happily gave him a Chinese name.
The surname is So, and the name is Sohail
Boxes of shells passed through the silver portal of the [Heavy Artillery Recycling Machine] and rolled to Li Yan along the belt. There were smooth arc cracks on it. Li Yan picked it up and observed it carefully. Scarlet light was reflected in the middle of the crack.
"It's cracked, isn't it broken?"
"You'll know if you have a shot."
According to his words, Lao Gu grabbed a modified shell, loaded it, and ignited the fuse. The people around covered their ears.
Boom~Boom~
A golden-red ball spewed out from the muzzle, and hit the distant sea surface in an arc, blasting out a small mushroom cloud in the shape of a gourd. The fire ball was red at first, and then gradually wrapped in black smoke, rolling and flying towards the sky.
"Wow~~~"
Everyone on the boat was stunned.
"good."
Li Yan nodded.
"But it's too close, more than two hundred meters away, and it's far away. We need to find some good guns."
It takes ten minutes to transform ordinary gunpowder shells into such power. There are more than 1,600 gunpowder shells and more than 2,000 solid iron bullets in the gunpowder depot on Lantau Island. With this [Heavy Artillery Recycling Machine], Li Yan can reproduce the effect of [Furious Rage] in just a few months. The power of gunpowder. Of course, in terms of range, there is still a certain gap compared with the Fury.
Li Yan took a peek at Lin Yuanfu, only to see that his face was expressionless. The old man was not in a panic. After all, the government was in control of the world. If they paid attention to it, the naval firepower would be built up soon. No matter how powerful the pirates' firearms were, and no matter how brave their manpower, they were nothing compared to the people and money that the government could mobilize.
Washington, no, Sohail explained to Lin Yuanfu in a murmur that this is a technology like Europa's national treasure, and its value is comparable to that of a medium-sized island.
Li Yan patted Sohaier on the shoulder: "When we arrive at Lantau Island, I'll treat Hua, oh, I'll treat old Mr. Suo to drink."
? On the third day of Li Yan's attack on Humen, Guangzhou.
Since the opening of the official business, Guangzhou has become the southern gate of China's overseas trade, and the Xijiangkou has been crowded with boats and oars, day and night. Boss Street is full of tyrants and wealthy people, and every night they are fish and dragons. Xiguan Road is majestic and scattered, with towering lacquer buildings. Spices, tea, porcelain, opium, salt and iron, and exotic tools are not uncommon. Its wealth and honor are like flowers blooming with brocade, and they are the same for a while.
How rich is Guangzhou? Guangzhou alone accounts for more than 40% of the country's tax revenue. The richest man in Guangzhou, Wu Wenzi, one of the leaders of the Thirteen Dental Banks, has a family property of 25 million taels, which is the sum of the national treasury's annual income. Last year, a fire broke out in the bank warehouse of the Thirteenth Yacht Bank. The melted silver water flowed into the ditch, and the silver stream spread for seven or eight miles. Everyone who saw it was dumbfounded.
To put it bluntly, Guangzhou in the early 19th century had the largest cargo throughput in the world. Gathering a quarter of the world's silver. It is one of the most prosperous trading cities in the whole world.
The sun is shining today, but the general¡¯s office in Guangdong is so cold that it¡¯s freezing.
?Gushan Beizi, inheriting the successor Guan Zuoling, the Guangdong garrison general, Aixinjueluo Tabai, Chinese name Fulin, is the highest military officer in Guangzhou. Lin Yuanfu, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, is less than one day, and Fulin is the head of this wealthy kingdom.
In the study, there were Stil's scolding and the sound of the vase falling to the ground.
Fragments of tea and porcelain splashed on the ground.
Under the hall, there are seven or eight stewards of Guangdong Thirteen Banks. These people are worth a lot of money, and they usually go in and out with arrogance, but today they are shivering like quails.
Fu Linsheng's appearance is imposing, his two eyebrows look like paint, his forehead is shiny, and he looks like he is in his forties. At this moment, he is holding a presentation, his eyes are tearing.
Hongqi helped Tianbaozai to attack Humen by surprise, killed hundreds of scattered sailors, killed Zhuo Huxing, Humen's commander-in-chief and naval admiral, and plundered goods worth more than 20,000 taels of silver. The whereabouts of Yuan Fu and his disciple Zhang Dong are unknown
"Your boss, Cai Qian, told me over and over again that he must be safe these few days! He won't let old man Lin see his flaws. But what's going on now? What's going on in Humen? Where's Lin Yuanfu?"
?The leading steward bowed to the end, and boldly replied: "My lord, I will protect you today."Aberdeen is a member of the Five Banners Alliance, and our Boss Cai is not in the same boat. He is not from the same way. We do business on the sea, but the members of the Five Flags are rebels. "
Another person stood up wiping his sweat: "Boss Cai has personally led people to Lantau Island. No matter what, he will definitely be able to bring Lin Yuanfu back. Don't worry, my lord."
"Relax? What if old man Lin is dead? You can change me into one? I heard that Cai Qian's family has enshrined Huoding's parents-in-law for generations. They can turn into ten thousand taels of gold, herds of cattle and sheep, and can turn me into a lively Lin Yuanfu." Is it?"
"My lord is joking."
"I don't have time to joke with you! Humen's tent, I will definitely get it back, but before that, Cai Qian had better burn incense and pray to Buddha, and pray that Old Man Lin is okay. Shisanyaxing is no longer surnamed Cai! Get out!"
Several stewards walked away with a smile, and brought several large boxes of silver jewelry, a picture of Vimalak¨©rti, the master of Longquan in the Tang Dynasty, a set of sixteen silk-wrapped red agates, and twelve pieces of Ru porcelain, which were placed in the yard. , no one took a look.
Fulin scolded Cai Qian's people and sulked on the grand teacher's chair, muttering something.
The red-coated concubine who brought the tea was very charming. She put down the tea and let the servants who cleaned up the debris leave with her eyes. Two lotus root arms were wrapped around Fulin's neck, and his voice was numb when he said "Master".
Fulin's complexion eased, and he went to take the cup on the table.
"Didn't you say last time that old man Lin is not a good guy? He came to Guangzhou to cause trouble for you. If he really died in the hands of pirates, it would save us trouble."
"Women and Taoists know nothing! You are the two middle halls in the capital, and the civil and military officials in the dynasty are all deaf? Blind? He Lin Yuanfu died on the front foot, and I have to go to the capital to plead guilty on the back foot! Do you want to come back in this life? Heh heh "
The woman Fulin scolded had red eye circles, he drank clean tea like a cow, and waved his hands impatiently: "Get out!"
After the little concubine walked out of the door sobbing, Fulin stood up from the grand teacher's chair, took a few glances at the presentation, and said from the root of his teeth: "Red Flag GangTian Baozi!"
"The Honorable British East India Company" firm, Canton Branch. In the center of the garden stands the bronze equestrian statue of St. George. A huge clock sits atop a white marble loft.
Steward Albert from the headquarters of the Gagarda Trading Company spit all over the place.
"I don't care what's going wrong here, [Fury] has been out of contact for three days, gentlemen, the last time seven ships were destroyed, it was still in a contest with France, but we also won because of this, but this time, a ship The Helun Seventh Ship just disappeared for no reason, together with its full cargo and hundreds of people including two stewards. I would like to ask everyone, who of you can afford such a loss?"
"We have already lodged a protest with the local government and sent a large number of ships to search. Moreover, I don't think there is anything in Nanyang that can threaten [Furious Rage]. I think we still need to wait."
"Wait until your mother remarries, Aatos!"
The steward said coldly.
"Ai Bo, you don't need to be so mean at all. If something happens to ¡¾Furious¡¿, it can only be the ¡¾Jealousy¡¿ who is currently stationed in Macau"
"There is no such possibility! Why do you think Britain and Portugal want to transfer a Heron Seven Great Ship to the Far East at the same time? Are they killing each other?"
As soon as Abel's words came out, he knew he had made a slip of the tongue. Many people's eyes flickered, as if they had noticed something from his words, and some well-informed people showed such expressions.
"Even Napoleon didn't win from Herron's Seven Great Ships. Is the Far East more terrifying than that dictator?"
"The weather at sea these days is indeed bad, maybe it's just a delay."
Everyone was chattering, and more people still didn't believe that Fury would lead to shipwreck.
At this time, a soldier wearing a red hood broke in and handed Abel a letter in a panic.
Ai Bo finished his three eyes and two eyes, and his face was already ashen. His eagle-like eyes would scan the table. It took a long time for everyone to notice Ai Bo's murderous eyes, and then he became quiet.
Ai Bo said hoarsely: "We just found the remains of Fury at sea, and a considerable number of them. The flags of Chinese pirates still have corpses. The crew of the company are neither alive nor dead. The core part of Fury, the heavy artillery regeneration machine is not Flying on wings. It is preliminarily determined that it was done by two groups of pirates, the righteous hog Zhu Ben and the evil thief Zhang He."
"They don't have the ability!"
"Zhang He? Annan's Zhang He?"
"Mister Zhu and we are a cooperative relationship!"
Everyone showed stunned expressions, and the meeting suddenly buzzed like a vegetable market.
"The biggest problem now is!" Able slapped the table, "We want to get back our wrathful hearts from the pirate gentlemen (remember this website website: www.hlnovel.com)But partnership! "
Everyone showed stunned expressions, and the meeting suddenly buzzed like a vegetable market.
"The biggest problem now is!" Ai Bo patted the table, "We want to get back our wrathful heart from Mr. Pirates (remember this site website: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
