C2 The Cannons Are Firing and Peeing in Their Pants

In 1841, which was the twenty-first year of the Dao Light, on May 24, outside of Guangzhou City, the city was in a state of panic. Yi Shaan hid in his study room and closed his door to see no guests. If he had known that things would turn out this way, he would not have come to Guangzhou and gotten involved in this mess. Lin Ze and Xu Xu had been sent away, and Qi Shan had been stripped of his post. He reckoned that he would not have a good ending either.

Dong! Dong! Dong! There was a knock on the door.

"Who is it? Didn't I say that no one can disturb me?" Yi Shaan shouted angrily.

"Master, it's not that this servant is willing to disturb you. I really can't help it. Come out and take a look." The voice of the accompanying servant begged bitterly from outside.

"Bastard! If you don't tell this lord that you're ugly, I'll skin you alive!" Yi Shaan was about to explode. He pushed the door open with all his might and saw all the men and women in the mansion kneeling on the ground. Beside him stood two men with strange guns. Neither of them had braided their hair. They were dressed like foreigners.

"Hello, may I ask if you are the commander of the Qing army? Let me introduce myself. My surname is Lin, and my name is Lin Chen. My ancestor is Shan Dong. " I am currently engaged in the arms business. I heard that you are fighting a war, and I have a batch of arms. Do you need them? " The one who spoke was Lin Chen. He was smiling as if he was a businessman.

"What weapons? Are you here to make fun of me?" Yi Shaan said angrily. The main reason why they were fighting this time was because the foreigners were good at guns and cannons. What kind of firearms was this guy talking about?

"Master, you must be joking. The weapon I am talking about is this kind of gun in my hand. This kind of gun is definitely more advanced than the western guns. If you don't believe me, I can demonstrate it to you." Lin Chen had also hit the target when he was in college. On the way here, he was very familiar with the gun in the shooting range on the spaceship.

Lin Chen raised his gun and aimed at a tree next to him. Bang! Bang! It was a shot! The tree bark was sent flying. A hole the size of a child's fist appeared on the tree. He quickly pulled the bolt, and another shot was fired, followed by another.

"Sir, look at my gun, how is it? Each magazine can hold five bullets, and the effective range can reach 200 Zhang! Each bullet only costs a few dozen silver coins. How about a few thousand? " Lin Chen gave the leader of the Qing army a test of the firepower of the gun and asked with a smile.

"I have never heard of such guns." Although Yi Shaan was a bit careless, he was a general after all, so he had some understanding of weapons and equipment.

In this era, the Qing army was still equipped with firearms. However, they were all fire rope guns that had been eliminated by the various countries. This kind of musketeer gun, a skilled gunner would only fire two shots in a minute. The British's front mounted Sui Fire Slicer was not much better, it only fired three shots.

The main reason for the Qing army's defeat was because the British had control over the sea, so they could go wherever they wanted. The Qing army had too many coastal cities, and there were too many places that needed to be defended. In addition, the sea was always lax, so it would be strange if they did not lose!

"Of course. Although I have already migrated overseas, I am still a child of China, so this good equipment immediately thought of adults. " If it's convenient, how about we go inside and have a chat? " There were too many eyes and ears outside. Lin Chen winked at Yi Shaan and said.

Well, okay. Come in with me. In addition, let my servants go. " Yi Shaan knew that this man didn't mean to hurt him. Otherwise, he would have shot himself. However, in order to show his magnanimity, he still said to Lin Chen.

"Of course. Zhaocai, come in with me." Lin Chen instructed Zhaocai and followed Yi Shaan into the room.

"Mr. Lin, how many guns do you have?" Yi Shaan asked. Yi Shaan invited Lin Chen to sit down and asked with a smile.

"Call me Xiao Lin," Lin Chen said. "I have a lot of guns like this, but I don't know how rich you are. Hehe, I'm sorry for making you laugh." "Of course I have as many guns as I want. As long as I can afford it, the aircraft carrier will be able to get it for you.

"No worries, it's a business deal. This kind of gun, I want a thousand! In addition, do you have any cannons? To tell you the truth, In this battle with the foreigners, this gun is secondary. The main reason was that the cannon was not enough. The westerners' cannons were far and accurate, but our cannons were far from good. These two days, The foreigners have been bombarding the city. If we can't help them, I'm afraid that Guangzhou City will fall sooner or later." Yi Shaan said. He actually wiped away his tears.

"Bang! Bang!" As if to confirm his words, the sound of cannon fire rang out again.

"Sir, since we are doing business, of course we must have a good prize. How about this, I also brought the cannon here. " I will help you shoot a few rounds for free. If you think the effect is good, you can also buy it together! " Lin Chen said with a smile.

"Oh? I wonder how Mr. Lin's cannon is compared to the cannons of the foreigners." When Yi Shaan heard that Lin Chen also had a cannon, he immediately became energetic and asked.

"How can I compare to you? If the cannons of the foreigners are compared to the kittens, mine is a big tiger. Although it looks similar, it is not a thing at all. " Of course, I have nothing to say. Sir, you have no way to compare. Why don't you come with me to the city wall and I will demonstrate it to you? " Lin Chen wanted to get up and walk out.

"Well, the city wall is too dangerous. It won't be good to hurt Mr. Lin," Lin Chen said. Yi Shaan looked like he was thinking about your safety.

This official was really shameless. He was afraid of death, but he still said he was thinking about my safety. A person who is afraid of death is the main general. It would be strange if he is not defeated!

His heart is full of contempt. However, Lin Chen still showed respect on the surface. "Thank you for your concern, my lord. If that's the case, why are you firing a few rounds in the yard? Zhaocai, contact Jinbao and send over the coordinates of the enemy's cannons. Then, test fire a few rounds! "

Zhaocai was currently wearing a normal suit. The green suit was gone. The ring on his hand and the gold necklace on his neck were gone.

"Yes, Young Master!" Zhaocai said as he walked out.

"Master, how about we go to the door and take a look?" Lin Chen invited Yi Shaan.

The two of them came to the door. There was a cannon in the middle of the yard. Yi Shaan saw that the cannon was much thinner than the usual cannon. There were many more things that he did not know what to use.

"Is Zhaocai ready?" Lin Chen asked when he saw Zhaocai standing still.

"Yes, young master. We are waiting for your order." Zhaocai said in a fawning manner.

"What are we waiting for? Fire!" Lin Chen stood back and covered his ears.

"Boom!" With a loud sound of a cannon, a shell flew out diagonally. The body of the cannon was also bounced up a foot by the huge recoil.

Luckily, this was the tribute courtyard. The courtyard was big enough. Otherwise, the shell would have hit the wall!

Poor Yi Shaan was not prepared. He was so scared that he sat on the ground and peed his pants.
