414 Personal grudge

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong..."

A flash in history, the foul-colored fire medicine that was born at the wrong time, at this moment, played a role in its slow burning advantage. It exploded smoothly in the long-barrel heavy artillery chamber that best suited this fire medicine, and pushed the round iron ball weighing more than 10 kilograms out of the cannon chamber.

32 powerful loud noises rang out one after another, hitting people's hearts like heavy hammers; what followed was thick smoke and fire that were emitting from the cannon barrel.

The "fire" distance of less than 300 meters, the ballistics were almost in a straight line. The next moment, 32 iron balls hit Xu's house hard.

A continuous "boom" sounded.

The exterior wall of Xu's house was first affected. The ancient wall poured with blue bricks and rice juice could not stop the shells at all. When a large stream of dust and roar broke out, the wall either collapsed or was penetrated.

The door of Xu's house, which is painted with a whole green paint and brass door nails, was immediately hit by a saturation blow.

Among the tiles and wooden blocks flying all over the sky, the eaves of the door exploded, the beams and pillars broke, and the two doors that never opened collapsed first, revealing the wealthy and dignified gentry family after leaving the door.

After the first round of artillery attacks, there was no obstacle between the fleet and Xu's house. The melon-eating crowd had already rolled and cried, crying for their parents and retreating.

The second round of artillery was followed.

There was still a deafening roar, and the beautiful white smoke and firelight of the cannons that were continuously spraying. The officials and civilians standing on the walls of the county town opened their mouths at this moment, and were stunned by the gorgeous visual sound and light effects in front of them.

The main unlucky one in the second round of artillery was the front yard of the Xu Mansion. Because the exterior walls and gates, the sedan halls and other places were smashed and collapsed in the first round of artillery, this round of artillery shells passed through the above-mentioned area and smashed into the vestibule.

The buildings in the vestibule were naturally unbearable. After a round of shells, large holes appeared on many walls of the lobby, with Taishi chairs and large vases, and the meeting place where famous paintings were hung on the walls was smashed into the scene of the car accident. The bright big hole and the broken tiles of the purlins and the falling roof destroyed all the furnishings.

It seemed like a long time had passed, and another moment had passed, and the third round of artillery bombardment followed one after another.

This shelling was probably because the muzzle was raised a little, and the shells penetrated straight into the atrium.

After that, the fourth round, the fifth round, the sixth round...

The magnificent artillery operation lasted for a total of ten rounds, pouring a total of 3.5 tons of shells into the Xu Mansion.

Otherwise, the Navy is a big money-making company. All 3.5 tons of fine iron shells were fired in just half an hour, which is no different from giving gifts.

Xu's house, which received the gift of traveling through time, has now become synonymous with the broken walls. Not only are there many buildings and halls in the mansion collapsed, but there are more bright and scattered holes on the walls of the houses; coupled with the tiles and debris on the floors and broken porcelain chairs, it looks like a tragic scene in the second dimension after the end of the world.

................

After the war, there was silence.

When the muzzle stopped spitting out smoke and slowly pulled into the porthole, the stormy Huangpu River was silent, and the county gates were silent, including the city walls, even if the inside and outside of the city gate were already crowded with people.

The crowd was still crying desperately, begging the city gate to open and the crowd stopped making a fuss. Everyone was silently watching the giant ship with blue "color" as the base, painted with golden lines, and nervously looking forward to the other party's next move.

What will you do next? After pretending to be "pse", you will naturally run away. What else can you do?

With the sound of rushing, the anchor chains rose, the mud was washed down, the black smoke rose again, the sails swelled, the fleet slowly turned around, drew a large circle on the river surface, waved his hand, and did not take away a cloud, and disappeared like this... What was left to Shanghai County were 320 titanium eggs rich in commemorative significance.

The moment the sightseeing fleet retreated outside Zhangsu Port, the operation was successfully completed.

This shore bombing mission is a powerful weakening of the authority of the Jiangnan landlord class within the scope of the rules. Although the 320 iron balls did not hurt people, the huge power contained behind them has been fully displayed in the enemy's heart area.

From now on, whether it is the pedantic and conservative landlord class or the numb and low-level farmers, they will be touched by today's lively educational program. All witnesses who were inside and outside the county town that day, as well as those who visited Canhuan Duanbi, could no longer turn a blind eye to this force.

Just like the Opium War back then, the stagnant medieval society was smashed with cannonballs, which caused a huge change in people's hearts and thoughts. After that, some people may become more stubborn and conservative, but there will also be people who are willing to open their eyes to see the world.

What the travelers do today is to tear apart the opponent's weak shell,

By the way, smash a nail of thought.

This is a subtle investment and hint. When natural disasters and man-made disasters wash away the land of Jiangnan over and over again, many people will naturally think of today's scene and this force, and thus embark on the path of "seeking strength".

With one more person like this, the basic foundation of the conservative forces will be reduced by a little until the day of social change, and time travelers will spend the least amount of money to handle everything.

................

Although the fleet quickly left the scene of the crime after pretending to be a 'pronged', it was mainly to eliminate the public's 'public movements and quickly calm the situation. It did not mean that General Cao was afraid of anyone.

So General Cao then sat in the Zhangsu Port Authority Building and began to wait for waves of people who came to ask the criminals.

The first one was naturally the Chongming Qianzong Yu Fugui. After learning that Lord Cao was attacking the Shanghai County, Yu Fugui was frightened to think that the pirates of Cao had rebelled and shouted in the camp that my life would be over.

Immediately after finding out the truth, Mr. Yu Qian was still scared to pee: in theory, the fleet was in Shanghai County, where he ran from his own defense zone, and sent people to pass on the letter in advance. Now that Cao's surname has done such a horrifying event, his surname Yu must not be related.

So Mr. Yu Qian came to the door to question the crime.

But at his level, the so-called guilty question is also a joke. Have you ever seen anyone kneeling down to ask for guilt? Who in the hall sues me?

So Mr. Yu Qian, who ran to question the crime, was sent away by General Cao's words: "This is a personal grudge and will not do your business. As for the beginning and end of the matter, I will take it with all my strength and will not make it difficult for Mr. Yu Qian. Come and see the reward."

Mr. Yu Qian was sent out like this, and he didn't even arrive for 5 minutes.

The second one to come to the door was naturally the Shanghai County Magistrate Chen Changyun. As a parent, no matter what the inside story is, Chen County Zun naturally wants to seek justice for the people.

General Cao did not neglect. After meeting and bowing to the tea, General Cao threw all the troubles between the evil gentry and his own property to County Magistrate Chen, and then spread his hands aggrievedly: "What can I do?"

Unexpectedly, the magistrate Chen ignored this: "Hmph, even so, the adults "carried" huge ships into Huangpu and fired guns and bombarded private houses. For more than 200 years of the Ming Dynasty, such a violent act was unheard of. As a parent in the whole place, I was responsible for defending the territory, and later I still had a bullet stamp to Beijing."

Zhang Dongdong sneered when he heard this: "It's normal for civil servants to impeach military officers, so Chen's parents can do whatever they want. But recently the emperor was surrounded by the capital, so he probably didn't have the heart to see your bullet-up."

"Hmph, this is not a matter of worrying about Lord Cao, so I will say goodbye."

"Not giving!"

So the two sides left unhappily between Shanghai County and General Cao.

Theoretically, the Songjiang Prefecture should have sent someone to raise an army to question the crime. However, for well-known reasons, Fang Yuegong of Songjiang Prefecture pretended to be deaf and dumb about this matter. Except for sending a painless document to inquire, he stopped talking.

After the first wave of rebound, it didn't take long before the second wave arrived.

Although the time travelers have intentionally controlled the intensity of the shore bombing incident and have not done anything like killing people, this matter is too fantastic after all. The most stable hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty, was actually bombarded by the giant ship of the "owner"?

So when the entire Nanzhili, especially Nanjing, learned the news, stern-worded official documents and some envoys soon came to the door. These people include, but are not limited to, the eunuch in Nanjing, the Duke of Wei in Nanjing, the Ministry of War, the Governor Yingtian's Yamen, and the Nanjing Jinyiwei Yamen, which had already turned aside General Cao.

These yamen that have mastered the military and political power of Nanzhili have expressed very serious concerns about this incident without exception: This time, Cao Chuan can "get" into the Huangpu River, then next time, will you turn against each other and "kill" to the city of Nanjing? What are you going to do with the surname Cao?

So Zhang Dongdong began to work hard to explain and communicate, but this was useless. A large number of bullets were still on the way to the capital.

After all, the officials of the Ming Dynasty were not fools. This sudden incident made the reputation of pirates Cao, who had been suspicious, even more unbearable. The upper-level officialdom in Nanzhili is now extremely guarded against him, and some military deployments, including Jiang defense, have also begun to slowly mobilize and enhance.

This time, the black cannon tube that traveled through the crowd really hit the man's lung tube.

Fortunately, these rebounds were also within the pre-plans of the people, so General Cao did not "disturb" the situation. While doing the explanation work, he also gave generous gifts to all the big guys as much as possible: Everyone blushed this time in business, but personal relationships are still necessary to maintain. After all, they don't know each other without fighting each other, and no one can get along with the Marlboro lighter, right?

While busy with the aftermath work, the three ships picked out to the north were also working hard to replenish supplies.

Since there is a full 1,000 kilometers of sea route between Shanghai and Tianjin, and there is no supply point on the way north this time, several sailboats must be equipped with as much supply as possible to cross the long sea route.

The most important thing in the supply is coal.

With coal, the fleet has the confidence to transform at critical moments, so this time even the deck is full of coal bags - this is a bit like the Russian fleet before the Battle of Tsushima.

Fortunately, in this plane, the northern enemies will not have gunboats, and there will be no submarine fleets in Tsushima Strait, so it is okay to pile some coal bags on the deck.
