According to Zhu Youjian's words, there are only five cannons on these ships that can be called naval guns.

The three front doors are arranged in an "S" shape on the front deck along the central axis.

The muzzle of the cannon was so thick that it was scary—it was none other than General Bi’s cannon...

The two doors at the back are slightly smaller, one on the left and one on the right, arranged at the stern.

This is a two-door rear-mounted Ford engine.

In this way, during a frontal assault, three artillery pieces can be used against the enemy.

When fighting from the side, no matter which side faces the enemy, four artillery can be guaranteed to be aimed at the enemy.

Even when escaping, there were two Folang machines with the fastest shooting speed...

That is to say, the wooden hull cannot bear it. Otherwise, Zhu Youjian will take out the double and triple installations...

As for the more than 40 artillery pieces of various sizes...

According to the emperor, the range is less than four miles and the cannonballs are less than five kilograms——

Is that called a gun?

That's the big gun...

Only looking at paper data, only looking at the total number of artillery, not the quality of the cannon...

That's what children think!

Adults need to consider everything...

These steamships, within the emperor's definition, were just experimental ships to test technology.

From now on, it will be transferred to the Tax Inspection Department...

Zhu Youjian, who pursues the doctrine of giant ships and cannons...

He believes in justice, provided - within the range of his own artillery!

The master craftsmen of Junzhou Shipbuilding Bureau are staying on the ship, constantly testing various data.

Because their burden is very heavy!

The emperor gave a difficult task - to use iron armor to build ships...

These ships are to verify whether the steam engine can be used as the power for the ironclad ship...

Just a test boat!

That's it……

The "chugging" chimney sound shocked both sides of the Yangtze River.

No sails, no oars, but still sailing.

Even if it's against the wind or the current, the boat's speed still doesn't decrease much...

This weird ship scared Jiangnan.

Navy Zheng Sen is running rampant...

The Nanming court was shocked.

Almost every moment, someone has to be sent to check whether Fang Zhenghua has decided to attack the city...

Who dares to move?

Eight people dare not fight to the death!

Zhu Yousong didn't dare to fight to the death!

The gentry group in Jiangnan...

Anyway, we are targeting Hui merchants now, not them!

For the sake of fellow Huizhou merchants, bear Fang Zhenghua's anger and Zhu Youjian's revenge...

I'm not that great!

A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist...

Let Fang Zhenghua torment Huizhou merchants!

Anyway, Founder cannot eat such a big cake.

The death of Huizhou merchants is good for everyone...

Fang Zhenghua did not come back alone with three thousand soldiers.

Hundreds of naval warships were roaming outside Nanjing.

Thirty thousand new troops were stationed outside Yuan Jixian's Jiujiang City.

These "guys".

Practicing every day...

Artillery roared, guns fired, and the sound of fighting filled the field...

……

After Zheng Hongkui went to Ezo Island, it was Zheng Cai who stayed in Nanjing to take charge of the overall situation.

Zhu Youjian also had a reward for the third generation of the Zheng family.

Zheng Cai received the imperial edict for promotion to "guerrilla general" sent by Fang Zhenghua.

This is the official body of a real emperor who is becoming more and more powerful!

It is much more valuable than the reward given by the small court huddled in Nanjing City!

Zheng Cai immediately handed over all power to Fang Zhenghua again.

He acted as a hands-off shopkeeper.

Do not……

Originally, Zheng Cai had no power...

Except when meeting with the Hui merchant family, the Zheng family's business name has never been owned by the Zheng family...

……

In Zheng's courtyard, Zheng Cai was lying on a rocking chair, swaying squeakingly.

Next to him, Wang Ranming's face was ashen:

"Little Master Zheng.

You can't do this!

We are all honest people, and we signed the contract!

We agreed at that time that in addition to exchanging all the goods in your home for 8000 million silver and 2000 million worth of cotton, we would also prevent the Hanjiang company from continuing to establish its foothold in Jiangnan!

You promised this to me!

Besides, your goods are only worth 5000 million silver, but we spent [-] million silver! "

Zheng Cai squinted her eyes, holding a small filigree blue cloud pattern enamel pipe in her hand, and took a beautiful puff.

This is a new product from Handu.

Zheng Cai felt hot in her heart.

His Majesty the Emperor remembers me, a little guerrilla general!

This is a new gadget, so Eunuch Fang sent us a set...

His old man knows everything our Zheng family has done for him!

Zheng Cai didn't answer and just kept smoking.

When Wang Ranming finished speaking.

Zheng Cai knocked the pipe pot on the table leg and poured out the burnt tobacco ashes.

Wang Ranming hurriedly refilled the pot for him.

At this moment, his eyes narrowed and his expression suddenly changed.

I saw an inscription on the side of this pipe.

Looking carefully, it reads: Royal Porcelain Bureau of the Han Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty.

This is……

Hanjiang Store does not have such a thing!

It is said that Zhu Youjian specially made this and gave it to the official figures of the Ming Dynasty!

Why does Zheng Cai have this?

"Mr. Wang!"

Zheng Cai spoke.

He chuckled and said:

"If you say that, it would be boring!

Yes, the original cost of my goods was indeed only 5000 million!

However, your Wang family will not only sell at cost price. We are businessmen just to make some money!

No one can do charity, don’t you think? "

Wang Ranming felt happy when he saw Zheng Cai finally talking to him.

Urgently:

"Master Zheng said yes, but we have a contract.

We agreed at that time that after we bought Mr. Zheng's goods, the Zheng family must guarantee not to engage in sugar or cotton yarn business again within two years.

Mr. Zheng, it’s not that we are stalking each other, it’s that we have agreed upon it a long time ago! "

"Ha ha!"

Zheng Cai laughed.

He put down his pipe and stopped smoking.

But he reached out and took out a colorful, palm-sized silver box from his sleeve pocket.

After opening it, there were ten cigarettes inside.

Wang Ranming was surprised again.

He knows this.

This is the latest cigarette produced in Handu, and it is not even sold by Hanjiang merchants.

It is said that this thing is exclusively for officials.

After Zhu Youjian established Xinjing, the capital of Han Dynasty, he changed the previous policy of strictly prohibiting tobacco.

Not only did he take the lead in smoking, but he also invented this cigarette.

Even a wealthy family like the Wang family can't get this thing!

How did Zheng Cai get it?

This is Zhu Youjian's new Ming Dynasty, something unique!

On the market, no matter how rich you are, it is difficult to get it!

Is it...

Wang Ranming was shocked and confused.

Zheng Cai threw one to Wang Ranming casually, then ignored him, took out a match and struck it casually on the sole of his foot.

"laugh!"

The match was lit.

Zheng Cai lit the cigarette, took a puff, and blew out two smoke rings.

Then he greeted:

"Mr. Wang, business is business, friendship is friendship, don't be restrained!"

Wang Ranming had no choice but to take out the fire certificate and lit the cigarette.

The spicy tobacco flavor instantly fills your mouth.
