Chapter 189 Observation

Chapter 1,89 Observation

Jiang Lang naturally wanted to let them see what this weapon looked like, otherwise how could they be deceived willingly?

The envoys who received this news were naturally extremely happy. Now they are eager to see what the Ming Dynasty's weapons look like!

However, if you ask rashly, it would seem a bit impolite. So they can only look forward to Jiang Lang telling them the specific time.

As if seeing the doubts in their hearts, Jiang Lang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will arrange this time as soon as possible, and I can't let you wait too long! At the same time, this is also the emperor's oral order. As a minister, I should naturally abide by it!"

This made these envoys naturally overjoyed!

However, the next day, Jiang Lang did not notify them immediately, but Concubine Leng came out to play again. This was also deliberately arranged by Jiang Lang, mainly considering that Nehru was in the palace.

Sta is just inconvenient to get news!

Just as Jiang Lang thought, the envoy immediately went to Nehru.

Sta came into contact with him. When he was in contact, the envoy naturally reported the cause and effect of the matter to Nehru.

Listen to Nehru.

For Sta, this is definitely the best news. The most important point is that you can personally see the weapons of the Ming Dynasty. As the people of the Ming Dynasty said, seeing is true. Only by fully understanding the weapons of the Ming Dynasty can you be more confident that the weapons you buy are worth the money!

At the same time, he felt relieved. It seemed that Concubine Leng did not lie. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty really agreed. He was very satisfied with this!

He smiled slightly and said to Concubine Leng: "Fortunately, you have suffered!"

Concubine Leng snorted coldly and said, "You believe it now. What I told you is true. Of course, how could you lie to you? The emperor agreed and agreed. If you always ask, he will be angry, but there is no such benefit!"

Naturally, I was very happy. Things were moving step by step in a direction that could be controlled, just as Lord Wang expected, in this case, his family would be rescued soon.

“Yes, yes!”

Nehru.

Stah hurriedly said, "I didn't care about this happiness, but she immediately asked, "Why did he say he gave us this weapon?"

The envoy shook his head and said, "I didn't say this, but I don't think we can't be too anxious. At least we have to see if their weapons are better than those given to others, so as not to be fooled!"

This thing is still in the hands of others, and everything still has variables, and it is certain that you cannot determine the authenticity if you don’t see it.

Nehru.

Sta nodded slightly and said, "It's good, so you can wait patiently. If you see it, report it immediately!"

The envoy agreed immediately.

Two more days passed, and now it was almost ready, Jiang Lang also decided to invite these envoys to see what the weapons of the Ming Dynasty looked like.

The envoys soon received the news that the court invited them to observe the test firing of the Ming weapons, and they were the only ones. At the same time, Jiang Lang was very kind and sent someone to pick them up. The person who picked them up was Jiang Lang's translator.

In the carriage, while there was no one around, the envoy immediately put a silver note on it.

The translator did not refuse at all and immediately put it away because Jiang Lang also gave an explanation. If these people give red envelopes, don’t be polite, just accept them, so the translator is naturally not polite!

After putting it away, the translator smiled and said, "Do you guys don't know what you need to know?"

Then several envoys couldn't help but look at each other. The Ming Dynasty's translator was really decisive. After collecting the money, he knew that he had to do his own business. So the leading envoy did not hesitate and asked, "I want to know where we are now?"

The translator smiled and said, "You don't know anything about this. Now we are going to the court's weapons test site. All weapons will be transported here for testing after they are produced. Check whether the weapons meet the requirements. If they meet the requirements, they will be produced after several tests. Then prepare the army. If they do not meet the requirements, they will be transported back and re-made."

The envoys were still a little shocked. The Ming Dynasty people actually had such strict requirements on weapons, so the envoy asked again: "So what are the requirements?"

The translator smiled and said, "I don't know this. It's the secret of the court. I'm just a small translator. How could I know it?"

The envoy thought about it, how could a small translator know what the requirements for this weapon were? It was a secret.

However, the translator said: "But I still know some of them. There are three main things: the first is the speed of the launch, the second is the accuracy, the third is the range, and the fourth is the power. Generally speaking, the court seems to have strict requirements on the first three points."

Seeing the few people staring at themselves blankly, she smiled and said, "I'm also heard from others. As for whether it's right, I'm still not too sure."

Even so, for the envoys, they now understand several characteristics of the weapons of the Ming Dynasty. It seems that the focus of the Ming Dynasty people was not on the power of the weapons, but on a longer distance. This may be to ensure that the place is destroyed when they are not hit, but if the distance is far and there is no power, wouldn’t that be the same?

After all, they really can't tell what the weapons of the Ming Dynasty people were like now.

I chatted with the translator for a while, but unfortunately I didn't find out any very valuable information.

After walking for a long time in the bumpy carriage, I finally stopped. After getting off the carriage, I appeared in front of them. There was a row of barracks below the mountains. In comparison, this barracks seemed much more stingy.

"boom……"

The loud noise suddenly sounded at this time, and the whole earth seemed to be moving!

The envoys were not prepared in their hearts and trembled in fear and quickly helped the carriage. Their face was shocked. When the Ming Dynasty's firearms had already developed rapidly, they were still fighting completely on swords, and there was such a loud noise from the firearms they loved in their country!

The translator next to him seemed to be commonplace, and he smiled and said, "Don't worry, this is just an experiment!"

"boom……"

The loud noise sounded again at this time. Even though the man was prepared, he was still scared again. He looked up and saw a huge fireball rising from the hillside in the distance.

"Several adults, please!"

The translator said, then walked in front first. After revealing his identity, the soldiers at the door did not stop him and let him go very easily.

After arriving at the barracks, the translator said again: "Please wait, three, please wait. I will report that the lord cannot come today, so he has already told the officials here that he will be responsible for receiving the three!"

Everyone else said this, of course they could only wait here, and the translator walked into the barracks.

It is the morning, and it is also an extremely busy time. Many soldiers in front of the barracks are extremely busy. Some are carrying boxes with carts. The boxes are not big, but they are tightly sealed, and some are practicing. Although they are just soldiers on the test site, they are soldiers at the same time. This training is also carried out, and everything seems to be in order!

The envoys felt like they were standing there like fools. But they didn't dare to move around and could only wait there!

In the barracks, the translator had already walked in, reported it, and then entered the office room of the largest chief here. He was a thousand-quarter long. Jiang Lang had already said hello before, so after the translator explained his purpose, he was immediately welcomed by the commander of the thousand-member. Then the commander of the thousand-member asked, "Are they all here?"

The translator nodded and said, "After the order of Lord Wang, I have brought them all, now it's down there!"

The commander of the thousand-man poked his head slightly and looked at it. Sure enough, there were three people wearing alien clothes standing below, and immediately said, "Is it the three people wearing strange clothes below?"

The translator nodded and said, "If you are ready, you can take them there!"

The commander grinned and said, "Of course the things that Lord Wang has given me are ready. Let's go. Let's see what the weapons of our Ming Dynasty are."

However, there is a bit of a conspiracy in this statement.

The two of them left the barracks together. After a brief introduction from this translation, they led the three of them to the back of the barracks. When they left, the commander was idle and said, "The Lord has already ordered you to receive you well. At the same time, in order to facilitate your comparison, we have prepared two types of artillery, one for you, and the other for other countries. Now they are in this warehouse!"

After they waited for the translation, they naturally smiled happily, hoping to see what a powerful weapon of the Ming Dynasty was immediately. And when I heard it just now, the sound of the cannon was very loud.

The group quickly arrived behind the barracks, and behind the barracks was the warehouse, but it was not so easy to enter the warehouse. The compulsory work went through three extremely tight doors and was verified before they were allowed to enter. Of course, these three envoys also noticed that these guards were holding a very strange thing, like a stick, but there was a very obvious difference from this stick. They were a bit strange and were on their backs!

It's not a gun, because it doesn't have a tip, it's not a knife, because it doesn't have a blade! How can such things be used to defend?

This doubt is hard to mention, especially since someone has a chief in charge here, so he can only stay in his heart. When he goes back later, he will ask the translator to see how much he knows.

Finally, I finally entered the innermost part. This should be a warehouse, and in the distance there is a hill. What is different from other hills is that the hill looks bumpy from a distance.

In this open space, more than twenty soldiers are standing neatly, waiting to give orders.

The commander nodded slightly, then said to the translator: "Tell them that you are ready to start!"

The translator immediately nodded and conveyed the meaning of the commander of the thousand-man. When the three translators heard this, they immediately became nervous and looked at the group of soldiers.

At this time, these soldiers were divided into two teams and rushed towards the warehouse inside. Soon, the warehouse was opened, four cannons were pushed out from it, and there were four boxes, and then pushed to the front of the translator and others to put them down.

The translator pointed to the four cannons in front of him and said, "Please look at them. Those two are bigger, they are going to give them to you soon, and these two smaller, they are sold to other countries. Now you three can take a close look and test the fire later."

These three envoys could not wait and immediately walked to the front of these four cannons. There was no test firing now. I don’t know where the power of these two cannons is different, so I can only remember the differences between the two cannons in detail first. At least if you go back, there is an explanation if you are asked about it.

Of course, there are naturally differences between these two types of artillery. The first is the size, one is large and the other is the size. The other is that the caliber of the artillery is naturally larger. As for whether this means that the power of the artillery is greater, I dare not determine these now, but after a test firing later, you can confirm. Another point is that the two artillery are somewhat different. There are some curved things under the cannon, although I don’t know what it is for!

"Are you optimistic about this?"

The translator asked at this time!

Although the envoys were a little unwilling to accept it, they left the cannon, nodded, and said, "Look at it!"

The translator nodded and said to the chief of the crowd: "Sir, they are optimistic and can try it!"

"Okay, push the cannon over!"

The commander of the thousand-man shouted immediately, and the soldiers immediately pushed the artillery and walked towards the fired position. Several envoys followed immediately. Soon, the artillery entered the fired position.

At this time, the soldiers also opened the box. Several envoys went up to take a look and found that the box was equipped with ammunition. There were two round, black things in one box, and two packs of wrapped things at the same time! Then, they opened the wrapped things first, revealing the black powder inside, then put the black ball in, and poked it with a stick, and then installed a lead wire behind the cannon.

The soldiers were very skilled in loading artillery, loading shells, and then lit torches to wait beside them. In fact, the best artillery in the Ming Dynasty no longer had such artillery fired by leads, but how could that technology be given to others? Even if it was a lot of money, it would not be given to them!

"emission!"

The commander shouted with great momentum!

The soldiers approached the torches in their hands one by one, and the white smoke suddenly rose up, and the sound of the sizzling lead burning also sounded. Then, a fire broke out from the muzzle, and the loud noise was even more deafening, and the sound of the gun was obviously shocked!

Smoke filled the gunpowder!

And a huge smoke suddenly rose in the distance, followed by a huge explosion.

Next, the other three gates were launched one after another!

The difference between artillery is immediately revealed. First, in terms of this sound, of course, the sound with a larger caliber is louder. Second, just looking at the smoke rising from the explosion in the distance, the larger caliber is also larger, which means that the power is greater. Third, it is vibration. Cannons with larger caliber will naturally vibrate smaller, while cannons with smaller caliber will naturally vibrate much more, as if they have jumped a little.

Although it was just one shell, the power of this cannon was naturally seen!

The commander of the thousand-man continued: "Tell them, because this is a shooting range, it cannot fully exert the range of the artillery. The range of this large-caliber can be half as high as that of the one next to it!"

The translator immediately conveyed this to these envoys. The envoys were immediately happy. The range of the cannon was longer. Doesn’t this mean that even if the countries around him bought the small cannons, they didn’t have to worry, because even if they were fighting, they could hit them, but they had no way to hit them?

From this point of view, the Lord Wang of the Ming Dynasty did not break his promise. He was indeed good at giving to himself and others, at least it was much better than giving to other countries!

The commander of the thousand-man is now deliberately showing the power of the cannon to them again. The large-caliber cannon started to load the projectile again, and soon, it was loaded. At the same time, the soldiers lit the lead, and a loud bang, which was deafening!

Although his ears were buzzing, these three envoys were overjoyed. If these weapons were fainted, wouldn’t that be a great achievement?

But what they didn't expect was that they understood Nehru.

After Star's real purpose, Jiang Lang immediately thought of a word, that is, the word that was originally, asymmetric combat!

The area is indeed peaceful now, mainly because no one has broken the peace, but if they have weapons, the peace will be broken, especially because they have bought better weapons than other countries, then they are slightly better in this. Once the war breaks out, other countries will also find the source of the weapon and find weapons that can compete with them. Therefore, the weapons trade of the Ming Dynasty will become more and more prosperous, and the silver will naturally flow into the treasury of the Ming Dynasty! You must know that in the future society, the weapons trade between these countries will be the most prosperous trade, and the amount of transactions per year will be astonishing, and now I just let this amazing happen in advance!
