Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    ¡°Captain, forget it, it¡¯s just a mistake anyway, don¡¯t reward or punish me.¡± The squadron leader next to him quickly calmed down.

    "I wasn't fooled, I was hit with a purpose!" Who knew that Chu Liuxiang didn't appreciate it.

    "Hey, if I give you a needle, I dare to recognize you. If I give you a hole, I dare to poke you. You are brave enough." Wang Rulong patted his head again.

    "I really hit you with aim." Chu Liuxiang seemed to be greatly insulted, and his face turned red and said: "Isn't the purpose of shooting is to hit? Why should I be punished if I hit, and you still say that I am blind?"

    "Stop" Wang Rulong saw that this kid was a bit confused, so he quickly stopped talking and said: "Simple, you can shoot again and see if you hit, not only will I not punish you, but I will reward you heavily!"

    "Okay!" Chu Liuxiang was not afraid of the stage and agreed immediately.

    By this time, the security guards had already packed up the deck. Seeing the excitement, they quickly opened a box of shells and cleared the chamber of a snake cannon on the main deck.

    Wang Rulong scanned the sea surface, stretched out his right arm, squinted his left eye, and pointed his thumb at a reef next to the East China Sea. This was the distance measurement method passed down to them by the commander, and he also passed it on to his security guards without reservation.

    "Just attack the reef 1.1 kilometers away." Wang Rulong ordered Chu Liuxiang.

    "Okay!" Chu Liuxiang nodded, thought for a while, subtracted 10% of the fixed propellant, stuffed it into the barrel, pressed it firmly with a pressure rod, and then filled it with shells wrapped in cotton cloth.  The thin cotton cloth stained with grease developed by the research center can prevent air leakage and increase the range, so Chu Liuxiang has to reduce the amount of propellant.

    The deputy gunner used a long drill to clean the fire door, and at the same time pierced the paper bag of propellant, then inserted a five-inch long fuse into the fire door, lit the match, and handed it to Chu Liuxiang's hand.

    Chu Liuxiang was not in a hurry to fire the cannon, but continued to slightly change the pitch angle of the snake cannon as the ship's hull rocked.  In this way, no matter how the ship rolls, the aiming line of the gun barrel always remains level.

    It was extremely quiet on the deck, and everyone was looking at Chu Liuxiang intently.  However, he has entered a state where people and artillery are one, and things and self are forgotten.

    Wang Rulong observed carefully and found that the boy's breathing was actually synchronized with the rocking of the ship's hull.

    During the slow wave interval between the front wave and the back wave, Chu Liuxiang aimed at the part below the waterline of the reef and quickly ignited the fuse that he had shortened.

    With a bang, the shells shot out, whizzing and hitting the rocks in the distance, causing rubble to fly up!

    There were loud cheers on the boat, and the security guards swarmed up and threw Chu Liuxiang high into the air, almost throwing him into the sea.

    "This kid has two hits!" Wang Rulong patted his head with satisfaction.  There is finally a master gunner in the Coast Guard.

    "Chu LiuXiang, in our squadron, he usually ranks first in shooting." The squadron leader smiled with relief.

    "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Wang Rulong rolled his eyes at him.

    "You only say this if you don't hit. If you don't hit, how can you say it?" The squadron leader smiled slyly.

    "Cunning." Wang Rulong laughed and scolded: "Give him one credit and a reward of ten taels of silver. Remember to remind me when you get back to apply for a special promotion for him."

    "Okay." The squadron leader agreed.

    Jiangnan Security does not implement the group¡¯s fifth-level and thirty-sixth-level rank system, but has another set of higher-valued job title systems.  Of course, correspondingly, the difficulty of promotion will be higher.  I didn't expect that Chu Liuxiang would get a special promotion because of his good cannon shooting. It's really enviable.

    ??~~

    This small episode did not affect the happy mood of the eldest princess's trip.  The Coast Guard had to conduct shooting exercises every day, and she had long been accustomed to the rumbling sound of cannons.  If she didn't have sex one day, she would still feel like something was missing.

    She is more concerned about whether the fleet can reach Tianjin Wei in ten days.

    Three days later, we arrived at Dagukou.  It has been exactly ten days since Chongming Sansha went abroad on the first day of March!

    When the eldest princess saw the Tianjin guards lining up at Dagukou to welcome her, she was so happy that she couldn't help but praise her godson for his ability to be sensible and to solve a major problem for her godmother!

    "How could my mother be like this?" Li Chengen felt sour. His mother was much closer to Zhao Hao than to him.

    "The grain can finally be transported to the north. Is it strange that Your Highness is happy for your uncle?" Xiwa said with a look like you are an idiot.

    ¡°Really?¡± Li Chengen muttered, wondering why I didn¡¯t see that Her Royal Highness the Princess was so noble.

    ??~~

    Dagonkou is the first coastal defense fortress in the Ming Dynasty, known as the gateway to Beijing and Tianjin and the throat of the sea and land.  After Emperor Chengzu made Beijing his capital, he continued to strengthen the defense here.  Not only is it well-equippedBrother ? is so nice. I'm still worried about how Brother Wang and his five hundred people will settle down.  "Zhao Hao smiled bitterly and said: "Although they are the security team escorting the eldest princess, it is a bit ostentatious to enter Beijing in such a big way.  "

    In fact, once the security team takes off their black clothes and puts on sailor's blue shorts, they don't have to worry about being dazzling.

    ¡°But this is already Beijing and Tianjin, and there are government and military escorts, so there is no need for Wang Rulong and the others to worry.  Mr. Zhao just found an excuse to let them have a rest, so that they could build relations in advance on the Tianjin Wei ground.

    this point is very important.  Waiting until grain and sea transportation begins to build relationships will be costly and the effect will be poor.

    He has long been known as a thunderbolt, and Tianjin Wei is famous for being very face-conscious and well-behaved.  This is a place that you can't buy by just spending money. You have to cultivate your feelings first, and then business negotiations will be much smoother.

    "Don't worry, I'll settle them." Hu Shouren said, "Brother is already a deputy commander, so settling hundreds of people is a piece of cake."

    ps. Please vote for the second update. There is another update, which will be posted later.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
