Daming One Piece

Chapter 90 I Can Do This Too (First update, please recommend, please collect)
On the endless grassland, a team of horses walked slowly.

Along the way, Zheng Yiguan looked uncertain.

how can that be possible?
How could his ship have reached Orange so soon?
"its not right!"

Zheng Yiguan muttered to himself again.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Zheng Zhihu asked.

"How did his boat arrive at the place so quickly? Brother, tell me, there is such a reason in the world. The boat he nailed with wood, not only did not sink, but also arrived at the place so quickly. , is simply impossible!"

During Zheng Yiguan's training camp, a boat made of wood and nails would definitely sink, but that boat not only didn't sink, but also went faster than he had imagined.

"impossible……"

Again he muttered to himself.

"How could the ship be so fast? Could it be that he can fly?"

"Brother, that person may really have some supernatural powers."

Zheng Zhihu said with lingering fear.

Unlike the eldest brother and the third child, the experience that night made him completely believe that that person is not an ordinary person, and he will not offend him if he can, but the elder brother and the third child just don't listen, you see, let someone set it up again !
He was thinking so much in his heart, but he didn't say it out. He had said it too many times, but the elder brother just didn't listen.

"Magic?"

Zheng Yiguan sneered.

"If there really were gods in this world, and if someone had supernatural powers, the world would have been at peace long ago. How could those Tartars harm Daming? He has the ability to go to Liaodong as an envoy to save the ordinary people who are suffering. Supernatural powers, There are no gods in this world!"

Since there is no one, why do you believe in Catholicism, big brother?
Zheng Zhihu glanced at his eldest brother, then sighed.

"Brother, why, why bother?"

Before he finished speaking here, Zheng Yiguan sneered.

"Why, why, let me tell you, second child, if we don't fight over some things, he will fight with us. This matter is endless!"

Seeing that the second child hesitated to speak, Zheng Yiguan said.

"Second, what did that kid do? Did you see that, this time when we went to Orange and robbed Lao He's cannon and took it away, how much more money will we spend now? At least more Tens of thousands of taels, you have never dealt with Hong Mao Fan, you don’t know, those Hong Mao Fan! They start business one by one, with a dark heart!”

With a cold smile, Zheng Yiguan said proudly.

"That's me, I can not suffer in front of them."

Zheng Yiguan's tone seemed quite complacent. In fact, he had a good relationship with the Dutch. Last year when the Dutch were in Penghu, he was the translator for the Dutch. In fact, in the process of rising in the next few years, he will also get With the support of the Dutch, this is one of the reasons why he eventually became the overlord of the sea. It was with the support of the Dutch that he purchased a large amount of artillery and gunpowder, and then became the overlord of this sea area.

"Did you see, the two cannons we brought back this time, one is only 1000 taels of silver, let me tell you that if it was replaced by someone else, it would not be possible to buy it for 500 taels, this time his surname is Shi... "

Zheng Yiguan's words were suddenly interrupted by the sound of a cannon, and he raised his head in astonishment, his eyes full of doubts.

"Who is firing the cannon?"

Looking up into the distance, he saw a piece of gunpowder smoke in the distance.

"Li Ergou, go and have a look!"

……

"Look quickly, is there any explosion!"

Before the gunpowder smoke cleared, Shi Yiwen was the first to rush over, and then rushed to the gun emplacement.Carefully observe whether there is any crack in the barrel of the artillery.Even deliberately took out the magnifying glass.

Not bad, no cracks.

"Continue to test the gun!"

In the eyes of everyone, the gunners immediately soaked the barrels wrapped in several layers of cotton cloth with water, and then stuffed them into the barrels. After cooling the barrels, they wiped off the water with dry cloth barrels, and then increased the gunpowder. Continue to test the volume.

Amidst the deafening gunfire, when Zheng Yiguan arrived with a dazed face, he happened to see Shi Yiwen.They are ordering people to remove the cannon body, then stand it upright, and pour water into the cannon chamber.

"Pour water into it and let it stand for a day and a night. If water seeps out of the surface, it means that the cannon is unusable. If there is no water seeping out of the surface, it can be equipped with 50 rounds of iron. Continue to test it here, and shoot at least one shot every day." Fifty cannons, after every [-] shells are fired, they will be filled with water for inspection, and they will continue to shoot like this, don't stop until the gun body is cracked, and then see how many shells have been fired..."

A newly cast cannon always needs to know its lifespan, only in this way can it be fired safely.

Hearing Shi Yiwen's words, Zheng Yiguan asked in surprise.

"Second brother, what is he doing?"

"Huh? Sixth, when did you come back?"

In doubt, Yang Tiansheng smiled.

"You came at the right time. Now we are well-developed. Have you seen that the cannon is the one where Mr. Shi asked people to fill the water. We cast that cannon, and we can cast cannons!"

"what!"

Zheng Yiguan said in astonishment.

"Second brother, what are you talking about, we, we know how to cast cannons?"

"Yeah, didn't you see it, just try it over there! Let me tell you, old six, in the past we thought this gun was precious, but in fact, this gun is really cheap. Dozens of taels of silver! That’s a little more expensive than iron!”

"What... what, cheaper, slightly more expensive than iron... How, how is this possible?"

In an instant, Zheng Yiguan was completely dazed. He looked at the cannon in astonishment, with a complex expression on his dumbfounded face.

Only, it is slightly more expensive than iron.

When Zheng Yiguan was muttering to himself, Zheng Zhihu lost his voice.

"Brother, this, this, we have lost a lot this time!"

"What a big loss!"

When Yang Tiansheng was puzzled, Zheng Zhihu said.

"My elder brother bought two cannons for 2000 taels..."

In an instant, everyone turned their attention to Zheng Yiguan, and he glanced at the second child with a livid face, will you die if you don't speak?

"me……"

Zheng Yiguan looked at him and said.

"My cannon is an [-]-pound cannon. Let me tell you, I installed such a cannon on the bow of the ship. It can sink a ship with one shot!"

Then, he said again.

"Besides, so what if he can make cannons? Gunpowder! Where did he get the gunpowder? Then he has to buy the gunpowder from Hongmaofan?"

"Gunpowder? Do you still need to buy it?"

Shi Yiwen laughed.

"I can make it myself!"

Saying it casually, Zheng Yiguan, who was holding back, became a little annoyed and said angrily.

"You know, you know everything, anyone can make gunpowder, but don't forget, the gunpowder that can be used in cannons is not ordinary gunpowder! It's gunpowder the size of a sesame seed!"

"Oh, it's granulated gunpowder..."

Shi Yiwen said rather awkwardly.

"What's so difficult about this, I can do it too!"
