Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 750 That Unique Shape

The Guangzhou Port in this era is not as prosperous as later generations, but sparsely populated and deserted.

But it's not that there is no port at all. According to legend, during the Three Kingdoms period, Wu Guo once had sea trade here.

Qianqi appeared outside the port of Guangzhou. Looking at this peaceful and beautiful bay, Su Cheng couldn't help sighing, "What a wonderful place!"

Feng An smiled and said, "I don't understand these things either, but since the Duke can praise me, I think it must be great to come to this port."

"This seaport is indeed very good, and it can be regarded as the top among many seaports in Datang!" Su Cheng nodded with certainty. Even in later generations, Guangzhou Port is also a very famous big seaport.

Feng An couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he heard that. He heard Su Cheng's praise all the time, and he thought that the seaport of Guangzhou City was unique, and there was no other place in Tang Dynasty comparable to it, so Su Cheng went straight to Lingnan.

I didn't expect to hear what Su Cheng meant, it didn't seem to be the case.

Su Cheng rode on his horse and looked around, and finally found the anchored ship.

"Is that ship moored over there ours?" Su Cheng turned around and asked.

Liu Xiaochuan respectfully said: "Yes, my lord, that is our sea boat!"

Su Cheng asked with a smile: "Is the old man interested in going up to have a look?"

Feng Zhidai laughed and said: "The old man is old, why don't I go up with the father-in-law for the old man to have a look."

Feng Zhixun and Feng Zhiyu also quickly agreed, they were a little worried that Su Cheng would be unfavorable to the old man.

Feng An laughed and scolded: "What? The old man can't even get on the boat? The old man can eat three big bowls of meat every meal, and in this bay, the old man can jump down and swim several times!"

Feng Zhidai and the others felt relieved after hearing this, how can there be no water in Lingnan?

The weather is sweltering to death. If you jump into the sea and swim around, not only will you not get cold, but it will be comfortable to death.

Then get on board!

Su Cheng took everyone on board the ship.

Feng An, Feng Zhidai and others were full of curiosity. Not only were they curious, but even Su Cheng himself was a little curious.

Although the ship was arranged according to his idea, Su Cheng himself had never been on it.

The overall shape of this ship is indeed somewhat different from that of ordinary sea ships, but isn't it just a sea ship?

It's just floating on the sea, what difference can it make?

After boarding the boat, Feng An and the others found something different. What were the bulging things on the sides of the boat?

Is this the boat remodeled by Su Cheng?

Feng An, Feng Zhidai and others were speechless. Is this Su Cheng's transformation?

With so many things refitted on board, how can this ship be loaded?How much more can I carry?

Feng Zhidai asked with a smile: "Mr. Jun, what is this? It looks quite unique!"

"This is a good thing!" Su Cheng said with a smile, and motioned Liu Xiaochuan and the others to remove the covering tarpaulin.

Finally revealed the true face of the cannon!

Feng An, Feng Zhidai and others looked dull, what the hell is this?

This shape is really unique!

This is Su Cheng's confident modification?

Just adding a dozen iron lumps to the boat?

Or is it such a unique iron lump?

What was Su Cheng thinking?

What is the use of this thing?

To ward off evil spirits?

Even Liang Zhengxuan, who had sufficient confidence in Su Cheng, was dumbfounded. If nothing else, this look is unreliable!

It's so outrageous!

Not serious!

Feng Zhidai coughed dryly: "The Duke is really, really, a fantastic idea!"

How could Su Cheng not notice the expressions on everyone's faces?Even Su Cheng could guess what everyone was thinking.

Su Cheng couldn't help laughing: "I know you have a lot of doubts. This thing is called a cannon. It is a firearm developed by me. It is very powerful and perfect for sea ships!"

firearm?

Feng An couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he heard this, is this a cannon?

At this time, the Feng family's father and son looked at the ten iron bumps in all their eyes. The playfulness in the eyes was gone, and they became serious.

They were very concerned about the imperial court, so how could they not know about the firearms that caused such an uproar in the imperial court?

For this reason, the emperor even set up a special yamen called the Firearms Supervision, which shows that he attaches great importance to firearms!

The power of the firearms is even more miraculous. Although the Feng family and his son tried their best to collect information on this aspect, because Lingnan is too far away from Chang'an, they gained little.

Unexpectedly, now, the artillery suddenly appeared in front of their eyes without warning.

This is the famous and mysterious cannon, right?

Apart from this unique shape, it seems that there is nothing amazing about it!

"This is the cannon? I heard that when the cannon is fired, the earth shakes and the mountains are shaken. It was praised by His Majesty as a powerful weapon for the country. I didn't expect to be lucky enough to see it today!" Feng An laughed.

Feng Zhidai and the others couldn't help nodding when they heard this. Since the artillery was so praised by the emperor, there must be something worthy of praise.

So this is the legendary cannon?Liang Zhengxuan looked at the ten iron bumps with awe in his eyes.

Feng Zhichen asked curiously: "I heard that this cannon is very sharp, I wonder if the county magistrate can show us a demonstration?"

Su Cheng said with a smile: "Of course, the cannon installed on the ship is not for viewing, but has a great effect!"

"Liu Xiaochuan, it's time to test your training results! In just two months, let me see how your training is going!" Su Cheng laughed.

When Liu Xiaochuan and others heard this, they immediately felt as if they had been slapped with chicken blood!

"Yes, my lord!"

"Everyone is there, take your place!"

Following Liu Xiaochuan's order, the crew members who had been respectfully standing in two rows suddenly started to run.

"All of them! Check the artillery!"

"No. [-] gun, the inspection is complete!"

"The No. [-] cannon has been inspected!"

"The No. [-] cannon has been inspected!"

……

"Fill the cannon!"

"Adjust the angle!"

Feng An and his son stared at all this with burning eyes, as if they wanted to gain insight into the secrets of the artillery.

Their eyes were full of surprise. Firearms completely overturned their understanding of weapons.

At first they thought the cannons were giant trebuchets that could throw flaming stones or something.

Su Cheng also watched the crew manipulating the artillery with burning eyes.

"Report to the lord, the artillery has been reloaded, please fire!" Liu Xiaochuan stood at attention and reported, which was really quite impressive.

Su Cheng nodded slightly and said, "Fire!"

Liu Xiaochuan turned around, waved the flag in his hand, and said loudly: "My lord has ordered, fire!"

Boom boom boom!

Ten cannons fired in salvo, making a sky-shattering sound!

It seems that only the sound of huge artillery echoes in the whole world.

Even the huge sea-going ships were rocked by the salvo of artillery.

After the sound of the artillery, the whole ship was silent.
