Daming Junior Scholar

On the living room of the government office.

After listening to He Jiaan's request, old man Bai Huatianbai showed a surprised expression on his face, blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "This old man has been making cannons all his life, and this is the first time he has heard such a request. Mr. He, are you sure you Are you right?"

He Jiaan shook his head with a smile: "The old man really heard it right, what I want now is how to stop the Franco cannon from firing."

"Well...let me think about it." Bai Huatian scratched his head, his brows frowned into a deep Sichuan character, after thinking for a while, his eyes finally lit up, and he patted the table with a smile: "I thought about it. "

"Speak quickly, old man."

"Actually, this matter is quite simple. To put it bluntly, the Franc machine gun is a large cannon barrel, which can push the shells out of the barrel, all relying on the explosive force of the sub-gun gunpowder. We just need to find a way on the sub-gun , can make this artillery dumb fire."

It sounds like a very easy task, He Jiaan blinked and asked curiously: "Then according to what the old man meant...?"

"Hehe." Bai Huatian stroked his beard and smiled, "Just drop some water on the medicine bag of the gun, and the gun will be useless."

He Jiaan immediately understood, what is Gunpowder most afraid of?Of course, it was damp, especially the gunpowder used on the battleship was taken care of extremely carefully. If these gunpowder bags got damp, it would be like breaking the lifeblood of the artillery.

Thinking of this, He Jiaan couldn't help but nodded, but there was one more thing to do next, that is, Wang Lun alone seemed unable to accomplish such an important task, so what should he do?

According to what Wang Lun said, when Min Niansi set off from Nanchang, these [-] Francois cannons had already been installed on his ship. According to the quantity of [-] medicine packs for one cannon, it was nearly [-]. It seems that it is not easy to soak all these medicine bags. If Wang Lun can't do it, does that mean that he has to send people on board?

When I saw Wang Lun again, the meeting place had been changed to a remote courtyard in the government office. Wang Lun had no restraints on his body, and he was reading a book slowly, looking relaxed and at ease. look.

"Mr. Wang is so at ease." He Jia'an said with some jealousy.

"Hehe, thanks to Mr. He, otherwise, Wang would still be racking his brains to think about those things at this time." Wang Lun smiled and put down the book, looked at He Jiaan, and asked lightly: "Look at what?" From the expression of your lord, you should have found a good solution."

He Jiaan nodded: "That's right." Then he smiled wryly: "It's just that I'm afraid it won't be easy to do this."

"Oh? Master He might as well talk about it."

So He Jiaan told Wang Lun about Mr. Bai's idea, and after hearing it, Wang Lun also nodded: "This is really true. When imitating the Fran cannon, the design of this medicine bag had already made it so I had a headache, and then I turned around and found a dry place to pack the medicine bag, and I'm afraid I can't get the medicine bag out of the water by ordinary methods, Master He still has to think of a proper way."

After listening to Wang Lun's words, He Jia'an once again fell into deep thought. What should I do now? Not only must the Fran cannon be handed over to the other party in good condition, but also the other party's Fran cannon cannot be fired. It seems that apart from this method, it is really difficult to find other methods. What should I do?

Just when He Jiaan was thinking hard and couldn't find a solution, Tang Lin who was standing aside suddenly interrupted: "Master, why don't I try it."

"You?" He Jiaan was taken aback, blinked his eyes and asked puzzledly, "How do you try?"

"It's very simple. Find the gunpowder ship and scuttle it directly." Tang Lin's method seemed to be straightforward.

He Jiaan was taken aback when he heard that, and then shook his head with a wry smile: "How can this work, change another method."

Uh……

Other than this method, it was really difficult for Tang Lin to think of a solution. The atmosphere in the courtyard was a little quiet for a while, and everyone was thinking about how to get rid of the gunpowder. After about a quarter of an hour, He Jiaan suddenly seemed to think of something, and looked up at Wang Lun: "Mr. Wang, what does your ship from Nanchang look like?"

When Wang Lun heard this question, he was taken aback, blinked his eyes and said, "It's a very common cargo ship on the Yangtze River."

"Do you know which ship will carry the powder?"

"This... I really don't know."

"This must be known, sir, come over here, let's discuss something together."

After Wang Lun approached, He Jiaan told him his plan from beginning to end in a low voice. After listening, even Wang Lun was surprised by He Jiaan's bold idea, and stared at him with wide eyes. , After thinking about the matter carefully, I couldn't help admiring He Jiaan's boldness and carefulness, nodded slowly, and finally agreed.

Wang Lun left, and he walked alone. Seeing him disappearing into the distance on his horse, Tang Lin worriedly persuaded: "Sir, why don't I follow him? What if he dies?" Wouldn't it be a waste of effort to run away like this."

He Jiaan smiled: "Do you think Wang Lun looks like a fool?"

"Of course not."

"Yes, Wang Lun is a very smart person, and what a smart person knows best is judging the situation. As I said, even if he told King Ning exactly what my plan was, what would happen? How about it? If King Ning doesn't rebel immediately, he can only obediently go to Beijing to plead guilty. As for whether to kill or cut them up, it depends on the emperor's mood."

"Apologizing is not what he thinks, and the rebellion is impossible to succeed. Even if he wants to find a place to hide and enjoy his old age, he still needs a lot of money. The danger of going back is not very great, and he will naturally not miss it." This kind of opportunity, not to mention that as long as he fools King Ning to rebel, he can get 10 taels of silver and live the rest of his life comfortably, only a fool would not do it."

Hearing this, Tang Lin had a special question that he wanted to ask He Jiaan. He looked around and asked in a low voice, "Do you really plan to give Wang Lun 10 taels of silver?"

"What do you think?" He Jiaan asked back.

Tang Lin shook his head slightly: "I don't think it should be given."

"why?"

"Sir, think about it, Wang Lun is not a good thing. He has done so many bad things for so many years. If he is allowed to spend the rest of his life comfortably, wouldn't it be too cheap for him."

"Haha." He Jia'an was amused by Tang Lin's reasons, and shook his head with a smile: "He is a bad guy, but Mr. is also a man of his word. I really plan to pay the 10 taels of silver." Give it to him, as for whether he can get it... depends on his personal luck."

Two days had passed since the agreed time to meet, but Wang Lun was still nowhere to be seen on the pier. Min Niansi couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and began to speculate wildly whether Wang Lun was in some trouble. What should I do, or just pull these Fran cannons and directly rebel, occupying several counties and raising the flag by myself, to taste what it's like to be the emperor.

Just when Min Niansi was having a sweet dream, the subordinates from outside barged in: "Brother, Mr. Wang is here."

Chapter 1344

The moment he saw Wang Lun, Min Niansi finally heaved a long sigh of relief, and still had the energy to smile: "Could it be that the girls in Guangzhou are too powerful, so Mr. Wang has been delayed for so long?"

Wang Lun glared at him with a cold face, and replied flatly: "I went out to sea and rested for a few days."

Min Twenty-four knew that Wang Lun was going to sea to find helpers, and what he said just now was just a joke. Hearing what Wang Lun said, he became serious and asked curiously: "How are those Japanese pirates? Have you promised to send troops?"

Wang Lun nodded: "Yes, I agree, but I have to give them a hundred Franc cannons."

"One hundred?" Min Niansi looked at Wang Lun in disbelief, and after seeing him nodding, his stubborn temper suddenly came up, and he waved his big hand: "No, I can't give him a single cannon, Lao Tzu He pointed at these bombardments and bombarded Paju, what should he do after giving it to him? Nothing can be said.”

The expression on Wang Lun's face turned cold immediately, he stared sideways at Min Niansi, and said quietly for a while, "Is it up to you or me?"

"Of course, sir, you have the right to say." Min Niansi blinked his eyebrows, and then said helplessly: "Sir, it's not my old Min who is stingy. I really can't give them these cannons. If I give them, I don't want to come back. gone."

"What are you afraid of?" Wang Lun smiled lightly, as if pointing something: "As long as Paju is taken down, how many Franc machine guns do you need? Besides, a hundred guns can find tens of thousands of scapegoats. This is a good deal." value."

"Ah? How do you say that?" Min Twenty-four seemed to understand something.

"Only by giving them guns, will these idiots attract the firepower of the Ming army's warships for us. How many Francois machine guns does the Ming army have? I'm afraid there are hundreds or even thousands of cannons. As long as these idiots show their heads, they will have to take them out." The Ming army will attract them, and then we will take the opportunity to attack from land and catch Paju by surprise."

At this time, Min Niansi finally fully understood Wang Lun's words, and he couldn't help nodding his head: "Gao, Mr. Wang's method is really high. If they can really attract the Ming army's firepower, the hundred gates Fran cannon is nothing, here it is."

Wang Lun was very funny in his heart, if it wasn't for the fact that Min Twenty-four had tens of thousands of people under him, he wouldn't be bothered to cooperate with such fools, but such a day would not be long, not a few days, he You will taste the taste of being covered by the Fran cannon.

Now that the waiting people have arrived, the fleet will naturally continue to sail downstream. It is because Wang Lun boarded the boat late, and after less than an hour, the fleet stopped at a county called Xikou. Stopped, when the fleet just stopped, a group of officers and soldiers suddenly ran up on the pier. The fleet yelled, which meant to let the head of the fleet go down immediately.

"What the hell, these people are looking for death." Min Niansi stared and thought about it, but Wang Lun suddenly shouted from behind: "General, wait a minute."

"What's the matter?" Min Niansi asked impatiently.

Wang Lun shook his head at him: "General, don't be reckless. It's easy to kill these people, but if our identities are exposed, it will be a troublesome thing. It looks like they just want some money, just give them. "

"This..." Min Niansi glanced at the people below unwillingly, and then heaved a long sigh. He didn't bother to pay attention to these people, and waved his hand: "All these are left to the sir." Then he got into the cabin I'm going to bed.
