Chapter 251 Naval Artillery

"Marty, this warship has been basically completed. It can be launched in the water for more than ten days at most, but this cannon..." Song Wumian asked from the side. This was related to his strength to go to Southeast Asia. The ship was good, but the cannon had no sign yet.

"I'll go there in a few days." Sun Yu nodded. He had to take action on this matter himself, otherwise no one would have taken out this batch of naval guns.

The era of navigation of giant ships and cannons is about to begin, and under the guidance of his Sun Yu, it was several centuries earlier.

"Mr. Ye, please inform me on behalf of me. On August 15th, all officials from Jianzhou, Quanzhou, Zhangzhou and the three states, including the seventh rank and above, will go to Quanzhou to report their duties."

"Old Cheng, under the rule of my loyal and brave army, the battalion commanded and above the generals, also went to Quanzhou to gather on August 15th."

Sun Yu felt that no matter how poor he was, he had to gather everyone and have a military parade at sea. Let them see the majesty of warships and the power of cannons, which was of great benefit to the convergence of people's hearts.

If Sun Yu had seen the power of the naval cannon under his rule, everyone would believe that the loyal and brave army would be invincible. I believe no one would dare to have any thoughts that should not have. Everyone should work together to promote the rapid development of the rule.

"Mr. Marquis, the mansion has been completed. Why don't you go and have a look?" Ye Heng spent a lot of effort on the Marquis' mansion and spent a lot of money. Yesterday, he specially cleaned it all and laid out all the brand new bedding, just waiting for his performance today.

"Then let's go and have a look together. Let's arrange dinner in the mansion tonight." This house was the first house built by Sun Yu, and he was also a little curious about what it looked like.

Zhenhai Hou Mansion, which is the former royal mansion villa, is located in the east of Quanzhou City and covers an area of ​​15 acres, which is half larger than the Duke of Lu in Jiangning. After all, it is a royal mansion industry and it is reasonable to have a relatively less dense land in Quanzhou.

The gate of the Hou Mansion is made of mahogany and covered with copper nails. In terms of gloss, it is also covered with gold. On both sides of the gate, there are statues of lions sitting on each side, which is daunting.

There were two yamen runners standing in front of the Marquis's door. This was specially arranged by Ye Heng, to shock the sluts and prevent those who are blinded from going in and causing damage. As for the future, Sun Yu's personal guards will definitely take over.

The threshold is extremely high, two inches taller than the Duke's Mansion in Jiangning. With Sun Yu's height, he has to work hard to raise his legs. Sun Yu doesn't recognize the material of the threshold stone. Judging from the wear and tear on it, it should have been many years since it was left by the royal palace before.

The front yard is quite large, with dozens of houses, mainly for guards to live in. There is a lotus pond in the middle, and the surrounding rockery and pavilions are all available. There are two courtyards on both sides. The main building is a two-story building, and the bricks and tiles on the top have just been replaced. The back yard is where Sun Yu, the owner of the Hou Mansion, lives. The main building is a three-story main building, standing on it, and the entire royal palace is unobstructed.

I don’t know where the trees planted in the backyard were obtained by King Jinjiang before. Each tree trunk is a big guy that no one can hug. If it is used to build a ship, it would be great.

"Mr. Ye, you have spent a lot of effort. I have received this love." Sun Yu stood on the third floor of the backyard, looking at the newly repaired Marquis' Mansion, and was happy. It was not luxurious, but it was considered exquisite. By the way, this house was worth the money in later generations. The thick mahogany that can be seen everywhere is also valuable.

"It's all what subordinates should do, but because of the limited funding and the shortcomings, please let the Marquis Hai wait." Ye Heng put his heart in his stomach.

Although he has done a lot, I don’t know if Sun Yu is satisfied. After all, he was born in the Duke of Jiangning and has all his vision and insight.

"Mr. Marquis, this house is really great, it's too big and has insufficient popularity." Cheng Zhenbei's mouth was almost flowing. I don't know when he could live in such a mansion. His newly built yard was only more than one acre.

"I can't use such a big place for the time being, so I'll talk about it later." Sun Yu also discovered that if there are not a hundred people living in such a large yard, it is really not popular.

"My Song family has many maids and servants. If the marquis needs it, you can send some to take care of your daily life." Song Wumian felt that it was still true. The rules of his Song family's house were definitely not as good as those of him, but it occupied no small area. Otherwise, how could he live in such many concubines?

"Son Master Song, under the rule of my loyal and brave army, it is strictly forbidden to buy and sell people. You have to change your mind. As for cleaning, I will send someone to the Yashang to hire a group of people." When Sun Yu heard this, he knew that there were many people in the Song family who had signed a contract for selling their bodies before.

"I am not good at doing things well, so I ask the marquis to forgive me." Song Wumian was shocked. He was indeed careless and actually went against his will in front of the marquis.

"When I go back, I will eliminate the contract for selling my body. Is it all over the government?" Sun Yu explained to Song Wumian, and then asked Ye Heng.

"It has been eliminated. My subordinates watched the burnt with their own eyes. All counties have posted notices that there will be no slaves under my Quanzhou rule." Ye Heng held his head and his chest raised. He was watching this matter himself, and it must have been in place. However, even if the people below knew about it, no one dared to question it. It is still quite difficult to actually implement it.

Sun Yu knew this very well, especially some families who gave birth to children and had lived in the master's family for generations. He suddenly let him be free, and probably didn't know how to survive. This matter should not be too hasty. As long as basic guarantees are provided, the situation will gradually improve in the future.

That night, after dinner, Sun Yu went to wash and sleep. As for safety issues, the free evil dog took the personal guard camp to solve the problem.

The next morning, Sun Yu got up a little late, and when he left the room, he couldn't help but stretch. After running around for many days, he finally had a good night's sleep, and his bones felt much more comfortable.

"Marty, this,,," the evil dog stood in front of Sun Yu, scratching his head, as if he had nothing to say.

"Tell me, I can't hold it in." Sun Yu picked up the toothbrush and cleaned his teeth. Now he doesn't have any tooth transplant technology and it's not protected. It's going to be difficult to eat meat in the future.

"The kitchen has not been found yet." The evil dog looked embarrassed. The marquis' mansion is too big and there are many rooms. After getting up in the morning, he thought about preparing breakfast. The ingredients are ready-made. As a result, he searched the entire yard but couldn't find the stove.

"I guess there should be in the front yard, east and west yards. This back yard was planned to live for the prince, probably for the gentleman to stay away from the kitchen." Sun Yu wiped his face, and he couldn't figure it out. Anyway, the back yard of the Duke's Mansion had a kitchen. The front yard was far enough from the back yard. If it was winter, wouldn't the food be cold?

"Then I'll take people to look for it now." The evil dog slapped his head and searched everything in this yard. He didn't go to search for other places. He immediately turned around and prepared to go to the front yard.

"Forget it, send someone out to find a shop and ask them to prepare it. Go and eat something later. There is still something going on today." Sun Yu didn't know the current state of the kitchen, maybe there was no firewood, and he didn't know when the meal would be started.

"Well, where is the marquis going

?” The evil dog nodded.

"Outside the city, the craftsman camp." Seeing that the warship was about to be launched, the cannon had to be pulled out and installed. By the Mid-Autumn Festival, I was still preparing to go out to sea to show off my power. Of course, it was for my own people to show off and keep it confidential to the outside world.

The craftsman camp in Quanzhou is basically managed as Jianzhou, and only Sun Yu is the only one who can enter and exit freely.

Now, the Quanzhou Craftsman Camp is the two masters, Master He and Master Liang, who have moved from Jianzhou. After receiving the message from Sun Yu's arrival, they put down what they were doing and rushed over.

"I have met the Marquis!" He and Liang, two great craftsmen, walked up to Sun Yu and saluted respectfully.

"The two are exempted from gifts. I am here to come for artillery. I don't know how the casting is done?" Sun Yu asked with anticipation. Last time I just said something about it, I wonder if there will be surprises.

"Mr. Marquis, please follow us." Master He looked at Master Liang, and the two of them smiled knowingly, and said to Sun Yu at the same time.

"Let's go and have a look!" Sun Yu knew that it must have been done when he saw this posture, and immediately said impatiently.

In the warehouse deep in the valley, forty-two dark cannons were tightly wrapped and placed in a special wooden box. The inside and outside of the cannon body are regularly painted with grease. The grease is made of lard. As soon as you enter the door, you can smell a strong lard smell.

"Mr. Marquis, it smells so good. It's all pork inside?" The evil dog was in a daze. Didn't he say he was looking at the cannons? How did he see the meat? He said that he had almost consumed breakfast and he was hungry when he smelled it.

"You want to eat? You don't have such a good tooth, open it all." Judging from the appearance, you can tell that it is a cannon. Sun Yu waved his hand, and the evil dog directly led the guards forward, picked up the crowbars on the ground, and opened them one by one.

Sun Yu walked forward and lifted the wrapped oil paper with his own hands, and the cannon revealed its true appearance. The dark cannon body was carefully polished and was extremely smooth and delicate under the protection of grease.

"Raise the gun." Sun Yu pointed to the front of the cannon and said.

Although the evil dog doesn't understand these, he can tell them even by looking at the gestures. He walks over directly, holds the muzzle with both hands and prepares to exert force.

"Look clearly, it's made of the elite iron. There's no chance that the King of Chu will be reborn." Sun Yu slapped the evil dog on the forehead. How could he tamp the goods like the Dog? This naval gun weighs at least two tons, so how could it be moved by human power?

"Smile, come and help." The evil dog said angrily. The several personal guards he brought in stood there and were still waiting to see him make a fool of himself, and he was furious.

Those who can be brought in by evil dogs are extremely trusted. They lack the majesty between superiors and subordinates, but they have more trust between brothers.

With the joint efforts of several people, they finally raised the heavy cannon several feet. Sun Yu brought a wooden rack from the side and supported the cannon. Sun Yu took advantage of the light and looked inside. The muzzle was polished very brightly. He reached in and touched it, and it was flawless.

"Release this door." The exquisite craftsmanship completely exceeded Sun Yu's expectations. The entire muzzle was extremely smooth and there was basically no trace of concave and convexity. If every cannon had such craftsmanship, he would highly reward these craftsmen.
