v7 Chapter 15: Artillery is ready for battle

Remember in one second【】

They came all the way to study, and they were still the head of the shogunate, and Chuemon had no reason to refuse. That is, the quota expenses have been reported to the shogunate a long time ago, and now there is no way to do the billing. Taichi Tanabe needs to find a way to solve the problem by himself.

It's very satisfying to be able to enroll in Taiyi Tanabe, and he has a little savings as an official, and he has no problem sitting in the air for half a year and a year.

Chuemon led him into the building. The private school was teaching sentence patterns. MacDonald gave an example, and then Horidanosuke and Moriyama Einosuke assisted him. A crowd of students took notes, chanting as they recorded.

"Let's stay here for a while. I'll show you Mr. MacDonald." Tadaemon asked Taichi Tanabe to sit down on the corridor, and don't disturb the class.

The two of them just watched in the corridor for a while. They came at a coincidental time, and the first class just ended. Chuemon went into the classroom.

Look at Yoshida Shoin on the left foot, Okubo Toritsu on the right foot, and Yoshida Toyo with the diagonal hand. If both Nishigo Takanaga and Katsura Kogoro came to class, it would be alive and well. Sakamoto Ryoma is still young, and he is playing mud in Tosa, otherwise he must also come to class.

Suppressing the agitation in his heart, Tadaoemon and Macdonald greeted him, and then transferred Taiichi Tanabe to school. MacDonald doesn't matter, the more students the better.

"Taiyi, you should be in the middle of Shoin and Masasuke, let's give in." Tadaoemon glanced at Okubo Toshitsu.

"Yes." Taichi Tanabe sat down excitedly.

A bookshelf was brought in from outside, which was the kind of small bracket that often appeared in Dahe TV dramas. Taiyi Tanabe comes with paper and pen, so you don't need to provide it. Chuemon lent him a Japanese-English dictionary and asked him to go back to copy and read, and it was all done.

Seated Taichi Tanabe said hello to the left and right. Shoin Yoshida is a person who likes to make friends, and Taichi Tanabe quickly became warm. Toshitsu Okubo still looked down on people, and after they became known to each other, they had nothing to say.

I don’t know if there is any news from the Netherlands to the UK...

It is best if MacDonald stays longer and teaches more English students. Chuemon thinks this is very good. Next time, if he selects foreign students, he will have a few good seedlings in front of him, which can completely eliminate the language link before studying abroad. You just need to strengthen your spoken language on the ship going to England and you are done.

After reading the English private school, Tademon hurried to inspect the barracks and the fort construction site. It stands to reason that it would be fine if you didn't go for a few days, but Chuyouemon always wanted to get his salary of two thousand four hundred, and if he didn't go and look at it, he couldn't help it. And don't we still want the shogunate to survive well. If we can do more, we can do more.

And today, Yinglong Jiang Chuan said that he wanted to practice live ammunition so that the soldiers could get started. Don't practice for months without touching a cannon. Just dig a hole in the playground.

Swinging slowly to the barracks side, the soldiers have basically completed their morning exercises and are now taking a break. Seeing Chuemon came over, they got up and greeted Chuemon. There is one thing to say, Chungemon still has the aspirations of the military, and can command these big soldiers. The so-called king treats me as a scholar, and I will repay the king with a scholar.

You are good to the soldiers, and the soldiers naturally know the gratitude, that's it.

"It's a good time to come." When Egawa Hideryu saw Chuemon, he greeted Chuemon to be overworked.

"Is it good to practice today?" Tadaoemon nodded to Egawa Hideryu, saying hello.

"Look!"

Following the direction pointed by Jiang Chuan Yinglong, four cannons were pulled into the playground by horses. Two horses can be easily pulled forward, and a tractor is also set up. This cannon is probably a good thing imported.

"Napoleon cannon, this is a bronze cannon purchased from the Netherlands. Each requires four hundred taels of gold." Jiang Chuan Yinglong felt the bronze barrel and sighed.

Chuemon glanced at it a little, and since it was a Napoleon cannon, it was made of bronze, and it became clear by just looking at the caliber. This should be a "little Napoleon", the so-called m1841 6-pound (2.54 kg) field gun, with a caliber of 93 mm, a barrel length of 1.52 meters (16.3 times the caliber), and a gun weight of 389 kg.

It must be really not easy to come to Japan to and fro. However, the Dutch can be regarded as very qualified small vendors. As long as the shogunate is willing to pay for the gold, they can buy anything for the shogunate. Although the Netherlands may not be so close to the Shogunate, it is indeed a good thing to have such a trading country.

I just don't know how much money the second trafficker in the Netherlands earned from this ticket business. He dared to ask for four hundred taels of gold for a little Napoleon, that is, he was learning and honing all the techniques of bullying Japanese forging artillery. When Japan learns everything, this business will not be able to do it.

"Boys, line up!" Jiang Chuan Yinglong waved the spirit in his hand, and the soldiers trembled for no apparent reason, and quickly returned to line up.

In fact, they had also practiced with the old artillery made by Takashima Qiuhan before, but that was limited to drills, and there was no chance of live ammunition. Besides, the old-style artillery is definitely not as powerful as the Napoleon cannon in front of me.

As for why it is four, because Jiang Chuan Yinglong has four juniors, and these four juniors are the gunners for the time being. Others took turns following live ammunition drills. It was impossible to direct the imported artillery, which was purchased with a lot of money, to these people who were still farming and raising silkworms six months ago.

The soldiers who had been taught by the spirit infusion stick for half a year were the first to get started, and they looked decent. According to the whistle in the gunner's mouth, the cannons were removed from the tractor in turn, and then the gun positions were set up to aim at the gun targets. The operation is as fierce as a tiger, and the mouse is running at the target.

Not surprisingly, if UU reading www.uukanshu.com is just a bunch of artillery, they can shoot a hundred shots.

^0^Remember in one second【】

Baizhong, that's a joke, and those who write novels dare not write like that. It is said that during the Great Battle of Tsushima, Japan, the Japanese gunners were hit by a hundred shots, and I don't know if it was true. However, Chungemon tends to train with a lot of live ammunition, and it is possible to train an elite gunner. As for him, a poor batch of imperialists, I am afraid that he may not have this ability.

"Second team!" Jiang Chuan Yinglong had nothing to say about the result. When he was learning cannon, he was probably not able to hit the target right away.

Several rounds of live ammunition were fired one after another, and a few blind cats of the size were hit by dead mice and hit the target.

"In time, they are all good artillery." Chungemon felt that at least the whole process of this group of artillery was still very qualified, and it could even be said to be remarkable.

"It can be considered to have lived up to Shangchao's entrustment."

Finally, these artillery can be enriched one by one on the Shinagawa Fort!

Dear, this chapter is over, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
