BXBX NOVEL Chapter 340
Chapter 340: Chapter 344 – everyone is happy (1)
MA Qian’s skin was dark, and he had the potential of an African. He was tall and muscular.
It was said that this person was once the Chu country’s martial arts champion, so there was no need to mention his martial arts.
Tang Wen led his men to welcome them, and MA Qian nodded.
However, he didn’t expect that military supervisor Zhang Dai would be so arrogant and say arrogantly,”Lord MA, why did the sea Saint Duke ask you to come down from this godforsaken Island?”
“The high Duke has ordered me to come down and pass on an order.” MA Qian furrowed his brows, probably thinking that Zhang Dai had gone too far.
“You’re just a small group training vice envoy, I’ll pass on the decree on your behalf, why bother Lord MA?” Zhang Dai said, not taking Tang Wen seriously at all.
In fact, this guy was furious. He had originally thought that he would be in charge of the 8th Black Knights Battalion. He was an old man of the 8th Black Knights Battalion. Who would have expected Chu Zhao to suddenly jump out?
Moreover, they were sent to White Crane Island to assist Tang Wen in battle. No matter what, I’m still from the 8th Battalion of the Black Knights.
You’re just recruiting a group of local soldiers for this small team training. It’s more like you’re helping me.
It was the complete opposite. Naturally, he also vented his anger on Tang Wen.
This was because this person had just returned from a foreign land and didn’t know the situation in the ridge sea and ocean Saint.
He was even more clueless about Tang Wen’s background and thought that he was just a small vice – commander in team training.
“I am here. Lord Zhang, are you going to openly ignore the rules of the court?” Tang Wen understood at a glance. He put on a straight face and lectured her.
“Deputy commander Tang, what do you mean by this?” Hearing that, Deputy Zhang raised his head and looked at Tang Wen.
Moreover, the title of ‘vice – Team trainer’ was especially loud and clear. It was simply intentional.
“Haha, Lord Zhang, Lord Tang is a first – Class Earl of our Empire.” MA Qian laughed at the side. Zhang Dong was startled and his face immediately turned red.
In the end, it turned from red to purple. He had no choice but to cup his hands and say,”I’m the military supervisor of the eighth Battalion of the ocean Saint black cavalry, Zhang Dai. Greetings, Lord Tang.”
“Tang Wen, hear me out! On the day of the great Chu Emperor’s imperial edict, the ocean Saint King had approved it. After the Ministry of War’s assessment, the ocean saint’s office had filed it.
Tang Wen had made many achievements and killed 23000 enemies.
He destroyed 700 enemy warships and has made an outstanding contribution. He is the role model of our great Chu.
He was specially promoted to rank three general of the ocean saint’s Yamen and the Deputy training envoy of ocean Saint City.
A reward of 100000 taels of silver and 30 rolls of cloth ... This time, the heavy responsibility of fighting the enemy in the sea Ridge Falls on you.
The eight battalions of the Black Knights, including the six fan Hall of Linghai, will assist you and listen to Lord Tang’s orders. There can be no mistakes!” Zhang Qian took out the Imperial edict and read it out.
Suddenly, Dai Zhang’s face turned even darker. People who didn’t know better would think that he was a descendant of Zhang Fei.
“Thank you, Your Majesty!” Tang Wen took the Imperial edict and passed it to Wen Jinyuan. He said,”my Lords, you must be tired from the long journey. Please go to the living quarters to rest first.”
“I heard from Master Chu that your warship is very special. I would like to see it for myself.” MA Qian waved his hand.
“Alright, let’s board the ship and take a look.” Tang Wen nodded.
When they saw Tang Wen’s second – hand warship, they were so curious that they started to scratch their bodies after boarding it.
“This iron shell seems to be very thick!” MA Qian said.
“Of course. Even if we were to crash into them directly, we would be able to destroy the sun nation’s warships.” Tang Wen said with a smile.
“Your boat is so tall, why don’t I see any sails or oars? Is he hiding in the cabin?” MA Qian asked.
“Lord MA, Lord Jue’s ship doesn’t need people to row, let alone sail.” Chu Zhao laughed.
“If we don’t use a sail or a boat, how can the boat move?” Dai Zhang didn’t believe it at all.
“Ximen taigao, order the ship to move. We’ll take the Lords for a spin on the sea.” Tang Wen said.
Ximen taigao gave the order. Immediately, the motor sounded and the ship began to move forward slowly.
Not long after, they travelled at full speed, braving the wind and Breaking the Waves, setting off huge waves as they galloped forward.
MA Qian was dumbfounded, Zhang Dai was also dumbfounded, and the officers of the 8th Battalion of the Black Knights, who had their noses up in the air, were all amazed.
“Too fast! How can the enemy catch up with this speed?” MA Qian shook his head and sighed,”I heard your ship came from the West?”
“Yes.” Tang Wen nodded.
“It must be very valuable, right?” MA Qian asked.
“Of course, one ship costs two billion silver.” Tang Wen demanded.
Naturally, du Jue would purchase it from the Imperial court. If the Imperial court had it, there would be no uniqueness on his side.
“One billion taels, who can afford this?” Zhang Dai was dumbfounded.
“Who said it wasn ‘t? I can’t afford it either. ” Tang Wen nodded.
“Then where did you get this ship?” Zhang Dai seemed to have caught on to something and asked.
“Back then, I was traveling in the outer seas a few thousand miles away and saved a person.
He didn’t expect that the man was actually the Prince of a big country in the West, and these warships were all gifted by him.
However, these ships are old ships that their country has eliminated. They are just second – hand goods. ” Tang Wen said.
“If the old ship is already so powerful, how powerful can the new ship be?” MA Qian said.
“Of course. Fortunately, the West is too far away from us. Otherwise, great Chu will be in danger. ” Tang Wen said.
“That’s true. It’s said that a few hundred years ago, a Lord of our dynasty once led hundreds of ships across the ocean to the West.
In the end, there were only a few dozen ships left when they returned, and less than one – tenth of the crew members were left. They were gone for many years.
However, when he returned, he also brought back a lot of Western goods.
For example, foreign wine, foreign cannons, foreign guns, and so on. They are much better than our guns and cannons.
Your guns and cannons should also be given to you by him, and their power is much better than those produced by our Chu state’s Blacksmith House.
Otherwise, you don’t have a lot of men, and you’re not regular soldiers.
How can an Army made up of mere local soldiers and servants defeat the troops of the sun nation?” MA Qian said.
“Of course. However, every time these guns are destroyed, there’s one less. They won’t be coming again in the future.” Tang Wen nodded.
“Fire a few cannons for me to see.” MA Qian was very interested, and Tang Wen ordered his men to set off the cannons.
MA Qian exclaimed in admiration,”Western things are indeed amazing. One shot can actually hit about ten miles, while ours can only hit five or six miles.”
“Our fire Gu is even more magical.” Tang Wen laughed and handed a torch to MA Qian. MA Qian touched it and said,”good iron. It’s much more exquisite than our iron.”
Hence, he aimed and after shooting, he was even more amazed.”It’s so much more powerful. Our muskets can only reach a hundred feet.”
Yet, you can kill an enemy from a few hundred feet away. No wonder you can make such a great achievement.
If our black cavalry Battalion is equipped with these handguns and cannons, it will not be a problem for us to fight against three. ”
“Hehe, if Lord MA likes it, I’ll give you ten cannons and three hundred sticks of flagpoles. It won’t be a problem for your personal guards to use them.” Tang Wen said with a smile.
“I’ll take this. I’ll record it for you. You’ll get three times the battle merits of my chaohuo and cannongun.” MA Qian immediately became happy.
“Lord Jue, the eight battalions of the Black Knights are fighting alongside you. Can you give us some?” Chu Zhao immediately said.
“That’s right, we’re all fighting alongside Lord Jue. We should be given some as well. ”
“Sir Jue, we need excellent equipment.”
“Lord Jue, please empathize with the difficulties of the eighth Battalion of the Black Knights.”
……
Instantly, the soldiers from the 8th Battalion knelt down and begged.
“Of course you can. You will fight with my Tang Army and will be treated the same.
I’ll give each of you a flail and a cannon for thirty people.
Everyone was given a bulletproof vest and a helmet.
An ordinary soldier will be given a low – grade spirit pill and spirit stone every five days to replenish their energy. ” Tang Wen said.
“Then what about us, the garrison?”
“Of course we’ll give you more. Three days for a guard, one low – rank spirit pill, and one low – rank spirit stone.” Tang Wen said.
“Don’t worry, Lord Tang. Tell six fan Hall to record this and convert it all into battle merits. ” MA Qian ha laughed.
Before he left, MA Qian took ten boxes of red wine, ten boxes of Coke, and a batch of Rouge powder, perfume, and so on.
Chu Zhao was a true military general and was good at leading troops. Nishiliu taigao still had to learn from him.
Tang Wen appointed Chu Zhao as the general Commander of the Tang Army, in charge of training the sea battle.
The gunpowder factory had just started work, and soon, Tang Wen could make the shells of the black coat cannon.
That was because the shell shell steel plant had already produced a large batch and was just waiting to be loaded with gunpowder.
Even a large number of black – robed cannons and Flint’s steel mill had been produced. Tang Wen had temporarily organized 10000 men to guard SuMei Island and heavenly Stone Island.
Once he was self – sufficient in this aspect, he would be able to free up more space to carry luggage and purchase other materials to make money.
In the evening, Wang haiting sent someone to deliver the latest surveillance video.
Gao Qiu led the Deputy general of the Yamen to Wei yang Street. Not long after, they stopped in front of a small noodle shop, with an area of about ten square meters.
A dark – skinned old man was standing in front of the noodle shop. He was wearing an apron and was busy cooking noodles for people.
“Two bowls of noodles, please.” Gao Qiu said to the old man. The old man nodded, and not long after, the noodles were served and brought to the table.
At this moment, Gao Qiu closed the door.
Wei yang was still embarrassed. He didn’t know why director Gao had brought him to a noodle shop.
Could it be that the noodles in this restaurant were very special?
Wei yang picked it up with his chopsticks and tasted it, but it didn’t feel good.
“Let’s eat. We’ll talk after we’re done. ” Gao Qiu said.
Wei yang was stunned, but he had to force himself to finish the noodles.
“Senior, Lord Wei wants to see you?” Gao Qiu said to the old man.
Wei yang was shocked and stood up in a panic. His face was red as he said,”I’m sorry, I didn’t know you were the senior Guardian of the Academy.”
“Hehe, he’s just an ordinary old man. What are you panicking for? sit down.” The old man smiled.
“He’s Lin Zhi?” Even Wen Jinyuan was shocked.
“A strange person!” He Tian shook his head and sighed with emotion.
“This is a true master.” Luo Yiwu said.
“The Linghai Academy is at loggerheads with Tang Wen. This is a direct confrontation.
However, that kid always stepped on dog shit. When white Crane Island was besieged, they thought that the Tang family was finished. They didn’t expect that they would turn the tables.
The thirty Supreme rank disciples of sun sect were all buried on White Crane Island. This is unbelievable. ” Gao Qiu said.
“What’s wrong with you? can’t you even handle a small Tang family?” Lin Zhi snorted.
“We originally wanted to humiliate the Tang family and slowly kill them. Alas, what a pity, we should have acted earlier. Now, the Tang family’s power is getting stronger and stronger. ” Gao Qiu said with a red face.
“Can that be treated as a game? There was a large amount of silver ore on somi Island.
If they had taken it down earlier, they would have mined two million taels of silver in a year.
All you guys care about is your face. Now that you’ve failed in an easy task, you’re here to find me? What do you guys do?” Lin Zhi snorted.
“The Tang family can kill more than thirty Supreme rank martial artists, so they’re not weak. That’s why I’d like to borrow some of the Academy’s inner court experts from senior. ” Gao Qiu said.
