I'm the lord of the alien world

Chapter 208 Red Light

"Of course. However, iron is too expensive. How much silver does an iron-hulled ship bigger than this cost? I'm afraid it won't cost 400 million taels. Even the imperial court can't afford it." Wang Haiting shook his head and said.

"I can import from the West. The reason why I am so confident in going to battle is because we have this kind of iron-hulled ship, which is our unique weapon." Tang Wen said.

"If we can equip an iron-hulled ship that is bigger than this one, and our cannons can shoot far and are powerful, and paired with powerful firecrackers, our confidence will be much greater." Ximen Taigao nodded .

"Don't worry, our ship is already at sea. It will arrive soon. Even if the Linghai General Army Yamen wants to recruit my people, it will still be a while.

Didn't the battle for the east just start? It's not that serious yet.

What we have to do now is to train soldiers, especially on ships, to enhance naval combat capabilities.

It is necessary to form a combination of naval warfare and land warfare.For example, you can practice landing operations, ship battles, etc.

By the way, tell the master who drives the speedboat. During this period of time, a group of boatmen will be picked to learn how to drive an iron-hulled boat. " Tang Wen said.

"This matter has been trained for a long time, and dozens of boatmen who can drive iron-hulled boats have been trained." Luo Yiwu said.

"From now on, you will be called the captain, not the boatman. The one who assists in sailing is called the first mate, and the second mate...

The person who specializes in sailing is called the helmsman, and the captain is the captain of a ship, who comprehensively dispatches the crew on board.

Our boat is not small, and it takes more than a dozen people to cooperate to make the boat run normally.

By the way, a group of people were dispatched from Zhan Dongwen's machine repair team to repair the ship.

Because the ship is often broken, and it must be repaired by a special person. " Tang Wen said.

In fact, Tang Wen's plan is to return to Yunhai City to order a batch of merchant ships that look like coast guard ships.

Move the cannon in black to become a gunboat. Of course, the necessary shooting holes must also be installed in place.

It is used to fight in wartime and to transport goods in peacetime.

Of course, the tonnage will not be very large. There are two to three hundred people on board, and the maximum displacement is about seven to eight hundred tons.

At that time, each ship will be equipped with a few black-clothed cannons and two hundred firecrackers to become an ancient warship.

"Jiang Xuan has met the Sir!" As soon as he saw Tang Wen, Jiang Xuan rushed out of the living room to greet Tang Wen at the door.

He even bowed his body slightly when seeing the ceremony, which made Yun Haitang's group feel tight.

You know, this guy Hao Lie is also the commander of the deputy capital of Linghai Province, a dignitary in the provincial capital, and a third-rank official.

Wang Haiting couldn't help looking at Ximen Taigao in shock, and Ximen Taigao also looked at Wang Haiting in shock.

Jiang Xuan's worship completely crushed the self-esteem and arrogance of all the elders of Yunhaimen.

Of course Tang Wen also felt it. He glanced at the popular little people on their heads, and found that they were all bent towards him. The inclination reached 10 degrees, almost touching the ground.

"Master Jiang's face is flushed and his seal is shining brightly. It should be a good thing." Tang Wen said with a smile.

"It's all thanks to the Sir." Jiang Xuan didn't deny it, quite proud of it.

"My master has been promoted to be the Commander of Linghai City." Wei Zhao, the housekeeper of the Jiang family, said with a smile on his face.

"Congratulations." Tang Wen cupped his hands and congratulated each other, and the two entered the living room.

"This time when we went to the front line, the materials provided by Sir Alex played a big role.

Especially wine and weapons, they all like it.

I drank and gave away all the wine I bought from Lord Sir, so I also made a lot of military exploits, and I was able to level up directly based on this when I came back. "Jiang Xuan sighed.

"Master Jiang needs it, just ask for it," Tang Wen said.

"Of course I have to buy another batch, this time with a larger quantity. However, I need another batch of tents, maybe a thousand." Jiang Xuandao.

"We have to wait for a few days, the goods are still at sea." Tang Wen said.

"No problem, there's time. However, recently the east coast has been fighting again, and I'm busy again.

Lord Sir, pay attention, the Sun Kingdom is attacking, and watch out for pirates at sea.

Otherwise, the loss will be huge if the goods are robbed. "Jiang Xuan said.

"Sigh... Mr. Jiang is not lucky. No, he encountered a big battle when he first took office, and this time he was at the door of his house. Therefore, the task given by his superiors is very heavy." Wei Zhao sighed.

"Damn, just for silver taels, we are required to command and envoy Yamen to raise 150 million taels.

You need to buy swords, cannons, firecrackers, etc.

In the past, it was already stretched, but now there are so many, it is difficult. "Jiang Xuan patted the handle of the chair and said with a gloomy face.

I'm asking for money again...

Tang Wen knew it well.

"I can donate 30 black-clothed cannons, [-] rods of firecrackers, [-] taels of silver, and a batch of ammunition to Mr. Jiang." Tang Wen had an idea, and the pile of 'garbage' in Yunhaimen hadn't been sold yet. Alright, it would be more cost-effective to just donate directly in exchange for military exploits.

"Grandpa is benevolent and righteous, dedicated to the country, Jiang admires, admires!
Today, you solved Jiang's urgent need. From now on, you will be my Jiang Xuan's brother.

Your black-clothed cannons and firecrackers will count as double battle merit, and the 30 taels of silver you donated will count as double battle merit.

Butler Wei, please count immediately and give us a calculation. "

Jiang Xuan stood up, clasped his fists excitedly and said.Fearing that Tang Wen would regret it, he hurriedly cooked the raw rice.

Otherwise, he would not be able to complete the task when he first took office, and his command made his buttocks feel unstable.

"A black-clothed cannon is converted into 10 taels of silver, and a firecracker is 600 taels.

Forty doors are 400 million taels, and seven hundred guns are 50 taels.

The total ammunition is 50 taels, plus 30 taels of silver and one and a half times it is 45 taels...

More than 5000 military exploits. "Wei Zhao immediately took out his abacus and began to fiddle with it.

"Hahaha, brother, are you satisfied with more than 5000 battle achievements?" Jiang Xuan laughed.

"Thank you, Brother Jiang." Tang Wen clasped his hands, knowing that Jiang Xuanquan would give him [-] times, or even double.

Otherwise, a second-hand black-clothed cannon would cost 5 to 10 taels of silver at most, and it would all be discounted to [-] taels by Jiang Xuan.

The firecrackers are similar, the new ones are only 400 taels, and Jiang Xuan converted them to 600 taels...

"Hahaha, brother, we are mutual." Jiang Xuan laughed, "By the way, our yamen has to pay you the one thousand tents. This time, we will pay you 2000 taels each. No discount, no discount. , Housekeeper Wei, give me the total."

"That's not necessary, it's [-]% off, I don't want [-]% off here." Tang Wen said.

"No! My brother, I bought it on behalf of the governor's office this time. I will accept it and earn what I should earn." Jiang Xuan laughed.

"I'll be disrespectful to that brother." Tang Wen clasped his fists and said with a smile.

"One top is two thousand, and one thousand tops is two million taels. This is one million taels of silver bills, Sir, please take it first, and the remaining one million taels will be pulled down by the governor's office after the tents are in place." Jiang Xuan Said.

"Brother Jiang, if the Sun Nation attacks, our coastal areas will definitely be in chaos," Tang Wen said.

"That's for sure, the Zongbing Yamen has already shrunk its troops to the vicinity of the provincial capital.

Even the naval divisions in Yanling County have withdrawn. The place like yours is too remote, and now it is basically empty, leaving only the garrison battalions in various prefectures to fight on land.

There is no way to control the sea at all, so I remind you to pay attention to pirates.

I see that your Koh Samui Island is undergoing massive construction and construction, but it can’t be destroyed by pirates. If a year’s hard work is wasted, how much money will you lose?

Also, you have to pay attention to your own safety.It is really impossible to evacuate Koh Samui and move to the provincial capital to be safer. "Jiang Xuan said.

"This is the property of my Tang family. That's all that's left of the Tang family. I can't leave. If the island is destroyed, everyone will die." Tang Wen shook his head.

"Why don't you listen to the persuasion, keep the green hills, and don't worry about running out of firewood." Jiang Xuan said.
