Traveling through history leaving a name

Chapter 156 Visit
After the train arrived in Quanzhou, everyone got off the train, and those who had something to do left the train station directly to do business.

It's okay, for example, Zhang Qingfeng and his party are going to Quanzhou Shipyard to see the situation of the hoisting artillery of the Universal One.

After half a month of sea trials, Globetrotter [-] has completed all tests, and all of them have met the sea trial requirements.

Just a few days ago, dozens of cannons cast from the Yuyang Military Factory were also transported to Quanzhou Port. In the past few days, workers have been hoisting the cannons on the Globetrotter [-].

Today, Zhang Qingfeng is going to take a group of court ministers to palm eyes, let them see the power of artillery.

Although many people are used to seeing wars, I believe they have never seen the scene of artillery salvos.

Following Zhang Qingfeng were the two brothers Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, as well as Xun Yu, Xun You's uncle and nephew, Jia Xu, Chen Lin and other court ministers.

Of course, there are also Cao Ren who presided over the relocation of the capital, as well as Cao Hong, Cao Zhen and a group of relatives of the Cao family.

"Teacher, it's ready."

On the wharf of Quanzhou Shipyard, Zheng He reported to Zhang Qingfeng.

"Then let's show you around." Zhang Qingfeng said.

At this time, all the people who came to visit gathered on the pier.

On the berth of the pier, a huge sailing warship was docking quietly.

"My God, what a big ship!"

On the pier, some female relatives couldn't help but exclaimed.

Although the men didn't exclaim aloud, many of them were surprised when they saw such a big boat for the first time.

"Everyone, please follow me to bed and keep order." As the person in charge of manufacturing the ship, Zheng He said to everyone.

Under the leadership of Zheng He, a group of dignitaries began to board the ship in an orderly manner.

"Wow! It's so big!"

When a group of people came to the deck, there was another burst of exclamation.

This kind of exclamation has never been heard since I got on the train today.

And often those who make these exclamations are the accompanying female relatives, and they are very happy to gather together and chatter.

Afterwards, Zheng He led a group of people around the deck cabins of this large ship, and introduced them as they walked, so that everyone had a general understanding of this ship.

At the beginning, many people were still able to remain calm. When many people saw the countless huge artillery on the deck of the cabin, some people finally couldn't help but exclaimed.

Artillery is not uncommon in Youzhou now, and some artillery can be seen on the walls of many cities.

However, it was the first time for many people to see so many artillery concentrated on one ship.

The Explorer 60 ship has a displacement of thousands of tons and is loaded with more than [-] artillery pieces.

So many cannons are specially used to deal with some hostile indigenous tribes and countries in the circumnavigation of the world, so as to ensure their own safety.

For half an hour, Zheng He took a group of people to look around on the boat.

After that, the ship will show everyone the power of artillery salvo.

Therefore, at this time, some female family members who were not suitable to stay on the ship began to disembark, such as pregnant Cai Wenji and Chen Yuanyuan, and Liu Rushi with their children.

After the female relatives disembarked, the large ship docked at the pier finally moved.

Ten minutes later, the big boat came to the open sea.

At this time, a target ship was already in place, and not long after, the crew of the target ship left the target ship in a small boat.

"My lords, the target ship we are going to sink today is in front of us, and the distance is two miles..." Zheng He explained to everyone on the deck.

"Young Supervisor Zheng, let's get started, let's open our eyes." After Zheng He finished speaking, someone urged him eagerly.

Zheng He is called Zheng Shaojian because Zheng He's official position is the Shaojian Order of the Shipping Administration.

"Then I'll let someone fire the cannon, but the sound of the cannon may be a bit loud. If you adults are not used to it, please cover your ears." Zheng He said.

Soon, under Zheng He's order, the artillery on the Globetrotter-[-] fired.

Boom boom boom boom boom!

Countless shells streaked across the sea and quickly flew towards the target ship in the distance.

A huge cannon sounded, and although many people were prepared, they were still taken aback.

Under everyone's gaze, the first round of shelling failed.

The nearest shells landed tens of meters away from the target ship.

It's just that the shells fired by this round of shelling were all flower shells, but sprays of water exploded on the water surface.

"Zheng Shaojian, you can't do this, you missed a single shot."

Seeing that a round of artillery missed a shot, someone immediately teased Zheng He.

On this ship at this time, Zheng He is the protagonist, and everyone talks to him.

"My lords, it's normal if you don't hit it. It's impossible to hit every shot at such a long distance. Let's take a look." Zheng He said with a smile.

While everyone was waiting, soon, the second round of shelling began.

Boom boom boom boom boom!

Countless shells flew towards the target ship again.

"Hit."

It may be luck, the second round of shells, a shell directly hit the target ship in the distance.

Next, there was a bang explosion, and the target ship was directly blown out of a gap by the huge flowering bomb.

Visible to the naked eye, everyone can see that the target ship is gradually sinking.

"It's no wonder Sun Quan and Jingzhou Navy were beaten so badly. Facing such weapons, even gods can't save them."

Seeing the power of the artillery, many people finally understood why Sun Quan and Liu Bei's navy failed miserably.

Under everyone's gaze, the target ship in the distance sank quickly before the third round of shells could be fired.

The target boat is an old-fashioned inland river flat land boat without a water barrier design, and the bottom of the boat will seep water quickly after the hole is broken, causing the boat to sink.

"It's really boring." Seeing this situation, Zhang Qingfeng shook his head secretly.

After such a big ostentation, it was resolved in two strokes, which is not exciting at all.

But for Zhang Qingfeng, it might not be very exciting, after all, he is used to seeing cannons and missiles of later generations, and he really doesn't like this kind of ancient artillery.

However, for others, the two rounds of shelling just now had a great psychological impact on them.

The emergence of guns and artillery completely changed the previous way of warfare, which made many veteran generals who had fought for a lifetime feel at a loss as to what to do.

After the firearms soldiers in Youzhou appeared, many generals asked themselves, if they faced such an army, would they be able to win?

Cannons can make shields completely useless, and muskets have become killing weapons for harvesting lives on the battlefield.

In the face of guns and artillery, the war experience passed down for hundreds of years has become completely useless.

In siege warfare, as long as the enemy has artillery, your siege equipment cannot be erected, and a siege that cannot be erected with siege equipment is simply a death penalty.

"My lords, the target shooting drill at sea is over. Next, we will conduct a land support drill." At this time, Zheng He appeared in front of everyone and said.

With the end of the target-shooting exercise, the large ship Globetrotter [-] began to turn around and head back.

Ten minutes later, the ship came to a distance of more than a kilometer from an uninhabited coast.

"My lords, this is where we practice. We have prepared a lot of scarecrows and wooden boards on the shore..." Zheng He introduced to everyone: "This drill is mainly to show everyone the damage that naval guns can do to the enemies on the shore."

"Jiang Shaojian, let's get started." Someone urged.

"That's the beginning." Zheng He nodded, and then gave the order to direct.
