Ma Qian has dark skin, has African potential, is tall and strong, and is very strong.
I heard that this man was once the number one martial artist in the Chu Kingdom, not to mention his skill.
Tang Wen led people to greet him, but Ma Qian nodded.
However, what I didn't expect was that the supervisor Zhang Dai looked arrogant and said arrogantly in front of the court, "Master Ma, this kind of indifferent desert island Sea Shenggong actually asked you to come down. I don't know what does this mean?"
"Your Majesty, the Duke of the State, ordered me to come down and deliver the message." Ma Qian frowned, probably thinking that Zhang Dai had gone too far.
"As a small deputy training envoy, I can just pass the order on my behalf. Why bother Master Ma?" Zhang Dai said, not taking Tang Wen seriously at all.
In fact, this guy was furious. He originally thought that he should take charge of the Eighth Black Cavalry Battalion by himself. He was an old man from the Eighth Black Cavalry Battalion. How could he have expected that Chu Zhao would suddenly pop up?
Moreover, he was actually sent to Baihe Island to assist Tang Wen in the battle. No matter what, I am still the Eighth Battalion of Black Cavalry.
Your small team training only recruits a group of local warriors, who can barely help me.
Everything went wrong, and naturally, he also vented his anger on Tang Wen.
Because this person had just returned from overseas and did not know the situation of Linghai and Haisheng.
They didn't even know the details of Tang Wen, and thought he was just a small deputy training envoy.
"I am here, Lord Zhang, are you going to blatantly ignore the court rules?" Tang Wen understood at a glance, and with a straight face, he said in front of the court.
"What does Deputy Commander Tang mean?" Upon hearing this, Zhang Dai raised his head and looked at Tang Wen.
Moreover, the title of 'Deputy Regiment Training Envoy' was shouted very loudly, which was entirely intentional.
"Haha, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Tang, I am the first-class earl." Ma Qian next to him smiled. Zhang Dai was stunned and his face suddenly turned red.
Finally, it turned from red to purple, and he had to cup his hands and say, "Zhang Dai, the supervisor of the Eighth Battalion of the Sea Saint Black Cavalry, has met Lord Tang."
"Tang Wen listened to the announcement! On the day of the imperial edict from the Emperor of Chu, King Hai Sheng approved it. After being evaluated by the Ministry of War, the Admiral Hai Sheng filed it in the Yamen.
Tang Wen made many military exploits and killed 23,000 enemies.
He destroyed 700 enemy warships and had outstanding military exploits. He is a model for our great Chu soldiers.
He is specially appointed as the third-rank general of the Haisheng Admiral Yamen and the deputy envoy of the regiment training of Haisheng City.
The reward is one hundred thousand taels of silver and thirty pieces of cloth... This time, the heavy responsibility of fighting the enemy in Linghai falls on you.
The Eighth Battalion of Black Cavalry will assist, including Linghai Liushan Hall, and they will all listen to Lord Tang's instructions without any mistakes!" Zhang Qian took out the imperial edict and read it out.
Suddenly, Zhang Dai's face turned even darker. People who didn't know better thought he was a descendant of Zhang Fei.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Tang Wen took the imperial edict and handed it to Wen Jinyuan to put away, and said, "Several adults are tired from traveling and traveling, so please go to the barracks to rest first."
"I heard Master Chu say that your warship is very special, I would like to see it." Ma Qian waved his hand and said.
"Okay, let's get on the boat and take a look first." Tang Wen nodded.
When they saw Tang Wen's second-hand warship, everyone was extremely curious. After boarding the ship, they touched where it hit.
"This iron shell seems to be very thick!" Ma Qian said.
"Of course, even a direct collision can break the Sun Kingdom's warship." Tang Wen said with a smile.
"Your ship is so high, why don't you see the sails and oars? Are they hidden in the cabin?" Ma Qian asked.
"Master Ma, Sir, your boat doesn't need people to row it, let alone sails." Chu Zhao said with a smile.
"How can a boat move without sails or rowing?" Zhang Dai simply didn't believe it.
"Ximen Taigao, ordered the boat to be sailed. Let's take a few adults for a spin on the sea." Tang Wen said.
Ximen Taigao gave the order, and immediately the motor started to sound and the boat began to move forward slowly.
Soon, he sailed at full speed, rode the wind and waves, set off a huge wave and flew forward.
Ma Qian was dumbfounded, Zhang Dai was dumbfounded, and all the officers in the Eighth Battalion of the Black Cavalry who had their noses turned upward were all amazed.
"It's too fast. How can the enemy catch up at this speed?" Ma Qian shook his head and sighed, "I heard that your ship came from the West?"
"Yeah." Tang Wen nodded.
"Isn't it worth a lot of money?" Ma Qian asked.
"Of course, a ship costs two billion silver." Tang Wenshi said loudly.
Naturally, it is forbidden to buy it from the court. If the court has it, there will be no uniqueness on my side.
"One billion taels, who can afford this?" Zhang Dai was dumbfounded.
"Who says it's not? I can't afford it either." Tang Wen nodded.
"Then where did you get this boat?" Zhang Dai seemed to have caught something and asked.
"Back then, I was traveling thousands of miles away in the open sea and saved a person.
Unexpectedly, that person turned out to be the prince of a large Western country, and all these warships were given by him.
However, these ships are old ships that have been eliminated by their country and are just second-hand goods." Tang Wendao.
"The old ships are so brave, how can the new ones be repaid?" Ma Qian said.
"Of course. Fortunately, the West is too far away from us. Otherwise, our country would be in danger." Tang Wen said.
"That's true. It is said that hundreds of years ago, an adult like me once crossed the ocean to the Western Ocean with hundreds of ships.
As a result, there were only dozens of ships left when they came back, and less than one-tenth of the people who went with them remained, and they stayed away for several years.
However, he also brought back a lot of Western goods when he came back.
For example, foreign wine, foreign artillery, foreign guns, etc. are much better than the guns here.
These guns of yours should also be a gift from him, and they are much more powerful than those produced by our Chu State Casting House.
Otherwise, you don't have many men and horses, and you are not regular soldiers.
How can an army composed of some local warriors and servants defeat the troops of the Kingdom of the Sun?" Ma Qian said.
"Of course, but if one of these guns is destroyed, one of them will be missing, and there will be no more of them in the future." Tang Wen nodded.
"Fire a few cannons for me to see." Ma Qian was very interested, and Tang Wen asked him to fire off the cannons.
Ma Qian looked at it and marveled, "Western things are really amazing. One shot can actually hit about ten miles, but ours can only hit five or six miles."
"Our fire blunderbuss is even more magical." Tang Wen laughed and gave Ma Qian a fire blunderbuss. Ma Qian touched it and said, "It's so iron. It's much more refined than our iron."
So he took aim, and after shooting, he was even more amazed, "It's so powerful, our fire blunderbuss can only hit about ten feet."
You can kill enemies dozens of feet away. No wonder you can achieve great success.
If our black cavalry battalion is equipped with such muskets and cannons, it will not be a problem to fight one against three."
"Haha, Mr. Ma likes me to give you ten cannons and three hundred muskets. It will be no problem for your personal guards to use them." Tang Wen said with a smile.
"I want this, and I will record my military merits as three times the value of my blunderbuss and guns." Ma Qian suddenly became happy.
"Sir, our Eighth Battalion of Black Cavalry is fighting with you, can you give us some?" Chu Zhao said immediately.
"That's right, we all fight with Sir Alex, so we should be equipped with some."
"Sire, we need sophisticated equipment."
"Please, Your Majesty, be considerate of the hardships faced by our Eighth Black Cavalry Battalion."
…
Immediately, more than a dozen soldiers from the Eighth Battalion of the Black Cavalry knelt down to plead.
"Of course, you will fight with my Tang family army and you will be treated equally.
Each of you will be given a musket, and thirty people will be given a cannon.
Each person has a bulletproof vest and helmet.
Ordinary soldiers receive one low-grade spiritual pill every five days, and the spiritual stone is used for training to replenish physical strength." Tang Wendao.
"Where are we guards?"
"Of course I'll shoot more. I'll be on guard for three days with one low-grade spiritual pill and low-grade spiritual stone." Tang Wen said.
"Don't worry, Lord Tang, Liu Fan Hall will record these, and they will all be converted into military achievements, and they will be counted three times." Ma Qian laughed.
Before leaving, Ma Qian took away Tang Wen's ten boxes of red wine, ten boxes of cola, and a batch of rouge powder, perfume, etc.
Chu Zhao was an authentic military general and was good at leading troops. Xiliu Taigao had to learn from him.
Tang Wen appointed Chu Zhao as the commander-in-chief of the Tang army to direct the naval battle exercises.
The gunpowder factory was just starting to build, and soon Tang Wen would be able to make shells for the black cannon.
Because the artillery shell steelmaking plant has already produced a large number of them, just waiting to be filled with gunpowder.
Even the black-clothed cannons and fire gun steel mills also produced a large number of them. Tang Wen temporarily organized 10,000 troops to guard Samui Island and Tianshi Island.
Once you can be self-sufficient in this area, you will be able to free up more carrying space to purchase other supplies and make money in the future.
In the evening, Wang Haiting sent someone to deliver the latest surveillance video.
I saw Gao Qiu leading Wei Yang, the deputy general of the General Military Office, walking down the street. Soon, he stopped in front of a small noodle shop, covering an area of about ten square meters.
In front of the noodle stall stood an old man with dark skin, wearing an apron and busy serving people.
"Here are two bowls of noodles." Gao Qiu said to the old man. The old man nodded, and soon he took the noodles and brought them to the table.
At this time, Gaoqiu closed the store door.
Wei Yang still had a look on his face. He didn't know why Dean Gao brought him to a noodle shop.
Are the noodles in this shop very special?
Wei Yang picked it up with his chopsticks and took a bite, but he didn't feel much at all.
"Eat, let's talk after eating," Gaoqiu said.
Wei Yang was stunned and had no choice but to bite the bullet and finish the noodles.
"Senior, Master Wei wants to see you?" Gao Qiu said to the old man.
Wei Yang was suddenly startled and stood up in a panic. His face turned red and he said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were the senior guardian of the academy."
"Haha, he's just an ordinary old man. Why are you panicking? Sit down." The old man smiled.
"Is he Lin Zhi?" Wen Jinyuan was shocked.
"Strange man!" He Tian shook his head and sighed.
"This is the real master." Luo Yiwu said.
"Linghai Academy and Tang Wen are fighting, this time it's a head-on confrontation.
However, that kid is a bullshit. The last time Baihe Island was besieged, I thought the Tang family would be doomed, but I didn't expect that they would actually turn the tables.
It’s unbelievable that all thirty super-grade ones from the Sun Gate were buried on Baihe Island,” Gao Qiu said.
"What's wrong with you? Even a small Tang family can't solve it?" Lin Zhi snorted.
"Originally we wanted to humiliate the Tang family and kill them slowly. Alas, it's a pity. We should have done it earlier. It's better now. The power of the Tang family is getting stronger and stronger." Gao Qiu said with a blush on his face.
"Is that a child's play? There are a lot of silver mines on Koh Samui.
If it had been captured earlier, two million taels of silver would have been mined within one year.
You guys are just thinking about saving face. Now you have capsized in the gutter and come to me again? What are you doing?" Lin Zhi hummed.
"The Tang family can kill more than thirty super-grades, and their strength is not weak. Therefore, I would like to second the masters from the academy to my seniors," Gao Qiu said.
