Chapter 1115 Celebration

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The eldest nephew said he missed Ah Shi, but he was very honest. He turned around and took out a drawing with his true love drawn on it - the 117-caliber Yongle cannon.

    ¡°Uncle, I have a new idea, do you think it¡¯s reliable?¡± He handed the drawing to Zhao Hao as if it were a treasure.

    Mr. Zhao glanced at him helplessly, "This is not possible. This will make you an orphan, my eldest nephew."  Then he looked at the drawing, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

    I saw that in the position of the cannon on the drawing, there was a flintlock-like device.

    "Are you going to change the cannon into a flintlock?"

    "Sure enough, I saw it right at a glance!" Zhao Shizhen nodded hurriedly and explained: "I talked with the gunners and found that they generally believe that using the fuse to light the gun will affect the hit. It takes a few seconds from lighting the fuse to firing.  The advance must be grasped. Moreover, each fuse burns at different speeds, so it is difficult to grasp the advance. In addition, even if a fire fuse is used, the fuse is still easily extinguished when it rains."

    "Yeah." Zhao Hao nodded. Sure enough, the weapons need to be improved in actual combat.

    Before the popularity of rotating turrets, although the shooting angle could be fine-tuned manually, it was very inconvenient.  So it's important to seize the fleeting opportunity to strike with precision.  The current firing structure of the fuze-pointed cannon is indeed a major constraint that affects the hit rate.

    "So my nephew naturally thought about whether he could also change the firing device of the cannon to the Longqing style, which fires as soon as he pulls the trigger." Zhao Shizhen hooked his fingers and looked at Zhao Hao eagerly: "Uncle, do you think this method is feasible?  ?¡±

    "There is a way, of course there is a way!" Zhao Hao laughed and put his arms around his shoulders, like he was holding a peerless beauty, and said with infinite affection: "You are really a fucking genius. Just follow this approach and strive for it.  Get it out soon!¡±

    With that said, he drew a cake for him again and said: "Uncle, I promise that when we come to Japan again, we will definitely get Ashi and her three daughters for you!"

    "Hey." Zhao Shizhen was so happy that he couldn't tell whether he was happy for Zhao Hao's promise or because he was on the right path.  Probablyit's the latter.

    This is the top secret of the Royal Navy!  British warships began to use fusilier mechanisms to fire cannons in 1745, but they kept it strictly secret. They said that the reason for their accuracy was "nothing but familiarity" which made Napoleon believe it, like a fool.  Yes, let all French warships hang portraits of Nelson to urge them to know their shame, be brave, and train well.

    As a result, even until death, I never saw the day when the French Navy improved its hit rate.

    It wasn¡¯t until the middle of the 19th century that Europe began to generally adopt superior pull-fired artillery, and the French realized that they had been fooled by the British for a century.  If the German devils hadn't been too fierce, they would never have forgiven Da Ying.

    Mr. Zhao was secretly furious. When his eldest nephew came up with an artillery machine, he would also learn from him and keep it a secret for two centuries!

    ??~~

    The whole journey from the Kanmon Strait back to the base of the garrison is 700 miles. The first half of the journey is against the current and the second half is with the current.  Fortunately, the northeast wind has been blowing these past few days, so it takes about two days to arrive.

    Taking advantage of the time on the road, Mr. Zhao held a meeting of all police officers and announced the successful conclusion of his two-month "punishment operation". In addition to expressing his gratitude and congratulations to them, he also asked the police officers to summarize the gains and losses of this operation and wait for their return.  After arriving at the base, we will study and discuss carefully and formulate a targeted training plan for the coming year.

    After the conference, he had a small meeting with Jin Ke, Wang Rulong and Ma Yinglong in his room.

    We will return to Hong Kong soon, and everyone is in a relaxed mood.  Zhao Hao asked Qiaoqiao to bring tea and invited the three of them to chat while drinking tea.

    "This time, we have exceeded the goal." Zhao Hao held a tea cup, leaned lazily on the sofa, and said with a smile: "Not only the three plans in advance - hunting Galen ships, annihilating various naval forces in Kyushu, and monopolizing the trade in Kyushu,  Everything was achieved. And through the Battle of Kanmon Strait, we forced the Maori family to sign the Treaty of Shimonoseki and obtained the Iwami Silver Mountain in advance I originally planned to wait two years before talking about it."

    "Who would have thought that Motonari Maori's two sons were trapped in Moji Castle?" The three of them couldn't help laughing and said, "You can see that your son is so blessed."

    "Hahaha." Zhao Hao laughed loudly.  "By the way, there is also Sakai City who has taken refuge. And it has achieved the effect of training troops in actual combat. This trip is really worthwhile."

    "Yes." The three of them nodded with deep understanding.

    "In the battle in the Kanmon Strait, we finally showed some elite performance." Wang Rulong looked quite proud, and changed the subject: "However, there are many problems, and we need to summarize and improve."

    "That's right, so we must formulate a training outline this year, train strictly next year, and improve combat effectiveness as soon as possible." Jin Ke also said solemnly.

    &n?.  They had already heard Jin Xishan, who had rushed back to pick up the goods, tell about the heroic deeds of Mr. Zhao's fleet that killed everyone in Japan.

    If everyone in the Li Dynasty said that they fawned over him before, it was mainly because of the aura of the Celestial Kingdom under the influence of "seriousness".

    At this time, what they were in awe of was Mr. Zhao himself, who led the army in triumph.

    Mr. Zhao is invincible!  Being Mr. Zhao¡¯s dog feels so secure!  Woof woof!

    ??~~

    On the same day, a grand celebration banquet was held at the garrison base.

    In the large open space at the foot of Chengshan, piles of bonfires were lit.  Xingang City and Jeju Prefecture sent generous labor supplies, including beef stew, roasted whole lamb, roasted suckling pig, fried fish, roasted chicken

    There are also liquor, wine, rice wine, three-bian wine

    The Coast Guard soldiers who have not had a drink for more than two months can finally drink to their heart¡¯s content!

    ps. I have been working on an outline for a day today, and there is no time to write two chapters. This is the only chapter left. I will try to make up for it tomorrow.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
