"Let the brothers eat watermelon." Jiang Tian looked at the workers who were drenched in sweat.
“These workers are always busy, so I’ll have someone deliver the watermelons to them,” Song Yingxing said.
When will this train be ready for use?
"tomorrow."
"So fast?" Jiang Tian was somewhat incredulous.
How fast can this car go?
"It is not as fast as a warhorse for a short time, but it is much faster than a horse for a long time."
How far can it run?
"With enough coal, we can travel a long distance, at least a thousand miles."
Song Yingxing's words were concise and to the point.
"My lord, once the engine is successfully developed, I will build you the Fran Cannon."
“Okay…” There are iron mines near Dragon City, and you can get as much iron as you need. Moreover, the ore from these iron mines is of very high quality.
The Franco Cannon is a type of mother-and-child cannon.
One main gun is equipped with three to four sub-guns. When firing, you only need to load the sub-guns into the main gun.
Ignition completes launch.
Then remove the cannon and replace it with another cannon.
This will greatly increase the efficiency of the launch.
Although the Francois cannon was not as powerful as the Red Coat cannon, it had a faster rate of fire, a longer range, and much more stable accuracy.
With just 3 to 4 sub-guns, it is theoretically possible to fire continuously.
A skilled gunner using the Franco cannon can fire about 20 shots per minute.
This is something that ordinary cannons simply do not possess.
"First, get me 100 Frankish cannons and 200 Red Coat cannons," Jiang Tian patted Song Yingxing on the shoulder, he had great confidence in this scientist from the Ming Dynasty.
"Rest assured, my lord, there's absolutely no problem. It can be completed within two months."
[Ding, Huang Dalang's anger level +999]
[Ding! My rage points, Cao Jie's, have increased by 666!]
[Ding, Dong Qianjin's rage value +333]
【bite,……】
Just then, a series of system notification sounds came through.
It's understandable that Huang Silang would give himself anger points after he died.
However, both Cao Jie and Dong Qianjin were in Longcheng doing the liquor business with him.
These two bastards also generate their own anger points.
Needless to say, it's obvious that these people are in cahoots.
These bastards are like dogs who eat from a bowl and then curse its master.
"Prepare enough coal. I'll personally drive this truck back tomorrow." The Huang family's property has already been ransacked, and Dong Qianjin and Cao Jie are nowhere to be found.
No matter what, we'll dig three feet into the ground and find those two.
...
Ye City.
Inside the prison.
Li Cunxiao looked at Zhang Dingbian, who was bound hand and foot.
“Brother, we new heroes admire heroes. I, Li Cunxiao, have few people I admire in my life, one is our lord, and the other is you.”
"What future do you have following that shameless scoundrel Chen Youliang?"
"Follow me to join our lord and fight for our cause; that is what a man should do."
Zhang Dingbian closed his eyes, not even glancing at Li Cunxiao.
Li Cunxiao was not angry about Zhang Dingbian's actions.
"Think about it carefully. Killing you is just a piece of cake for me." Li Cunxiao stood up and walked out.
"General Zhang's meals are provided to the highest standard."
"Five catties of sorghum liquor, a roast chicken, and two catties of meat every day."
The jailer nodded: "General Li, if I may be so bold, Zhang Dingbian is like a rock in a latrine, both smelly and hard."
"General Li's good intentions were wasted on him. This kind of person is determined not to pledge allegiance to his lord."
Upon hearing this, Li Cunxiao glared angrily at the jailer and said, "Stop talking nonsense and do as I say."
"promise……"
East of Ye City.
A luxurious mansion—the Cao Mansion.
The Cao residence was not far from Chen Youliang's house.
As soon as Li Cunxiao entered Ye City, he ordered his men to confiscate Chen Youliang's house.
Chen Youliang wasn't in the city; otherwise, that bastard would be dead for sure.
Huang Dalang, Cao Jie, Dong Qianjin, and more than a dozen others gathered together.
"You all never expected that Jiang Tian's army would actually reach Ye City," Huang Dalang sighed. "My brother's great revenge is still unavenged."
"Even if Jiang Tian's troops control Ye City, it won't matter. There are hundreds of thousands of people inside and outside the city..."
These hundreds of thousands of people are just hundreds of thousands of mouths to feed.
These people all need to eat, drink, and relieve themselves.
"If we can't handle this problem, Jiang Tian's team will have to leave," Cao Jie said coldly.
"That man named Li Cunxiao has already posted a notice to reassure the people. He said he would transport grain from Longcheng as soon as possible." Dong Qianjin said through gritted teeth in anger.
"We need to prepare for both possibilities."
"On the one hand, we must store all the grain in the city, and we absolutely cannot let them confiscate it. They are ruthless in searching Lord Chen's mansion." Huang Dalang frowned. "If our grain is confiscated, there will be not a single grain left, and we won't even have time to cry."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Cao Jie: "This man surnamed Li wanted to transport grain from Longcheng, but Lord Chen sent troops to intercept him. Even if we burned all the grain, we couldn't let them transport it to Yecheng."
Dong Qianjin: "Without food, the hundreds of thousands of starving refugees inside and outside the city could easily devour the defending troops."
"This guy surnamed Jiang won't be staying in Yecheng for long."
"If I could kill this Jiang fellow and avenge Silang, I would do anything."
