Although Mrs. Wa's wife did not agree that firearms would dominate wars in the future, she did recognize the importance of firearms. Of course, to take care of Zhu Pingan's face, she still smiled and said, "Firearms are powerful and can be used well. They are still very useful."
Just like Mr. Zhu, your Crouching Tiger Cannon is a powerful weapon for attacking cities and demolishing strongholds."
"Madam, I wonder how many firearms your army is equipped with?" Zhu Pingan asked.
"We only have a dozen or so muskets, which were left to us by officers and soldiers many years ago. As for artillery, we don't have a single one."
Mrs. Wa's wife said with a wry smile, their chieftains were still on the alert of the imperial court. Only the imperial court could make these firearms, and it was too late for the imperial court to be alert to them, so how could they give them such powerful firearms?
The reason why they actively responded to the imperial call this time was largely to show their loyalty to the imperial court.
"Those blunderbuss are all old people's. They accidentally exploded. There were originally more than 30 blunderbuss, but only a dozen or so blunderbuss were left. Many men were injured when using the blunderbuss."
Cen Dalu complained, "We don't dare to use it anymore, for fear that instead of killing the enemy, we ourselves will be blown up."
"Too few. The Japanese pirates are equipped with far more firearms than you. They have homemade muskets from the Japanese country, as well as more advanced muskets and artillery from the red-haired barbarians. The Japanese pirates are also good at using firearms." Zhu Pingan shook his head slightly.
"The Japanese pirates also have a lot of firearms?" Cen Dalu couldn't help but feel a little afraid when he heard that the Japanese pirates also had a lot of firearms.
The Zhejiang Army's firearms drill just now had a great impact on him. If the Japanese pirates also have so many firearms, then they should be careful about their firearms in frontal battles.
"The Japanese pirates don't have as many firearms as our Zhejiang army, but they also have a lot of firearms. Almost two out of ten Japanese pirates have firearms."
Zhu Pingan explained.
"That's a lot." Cen Dalu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, but he was still very afraid of Japanese pirates.
The ratio of firearms to 2/10 is not low either.
Firearms are so powerful that armor can't even stop a blunderbuss from being fired at close range, let alone a more powerful artillery piece.
"In the ambush battle in northern Zhejiang a few days ago, our Zhejiang army destroyed some firearms and consumed a lot of gunpowder. The support I can give you with firearms and gunpowder is limited, but if you face the Japanese pirates like this, you will suffer again. So, I will give you a
I’ll give you a hundred muskets and ten tiger cannons, and I’ll leave you five hundred kilograms of gunpowder.”
Zhu Ping'an was in a dilemma and wanted to support the Wolf Soldiers with more firearms, but the Zhejiang Army was also in short supply of firearms, and the Zhejiang Army would have to face the Japanese pirates Wang Zhi, who was more powerful than Xu Hai, so firearms were indispensable.
However, Zhu Ping'an still gritted his teeth and provided as many firearms to the wolf soldiers as possible.
Everything is for the greater good!
The wolf soldiers are a rare army with combat effectiveness. The more firearms they have, the stronger their strength will be, and they will be able to eliminate more Japanese pirates. When faced with the sharp firearms of the Japanese pirates, the wolf soldiers also have the same counterattack power.
"Ah?! Mr. Zhu wants to give us a hundred muskets, ten tiger cannons, and five hundred kilograms of gunpowder?!"
Mrs. Vacheron stood up excitedly.
"I heard Grandma Zhu say that he would give us a hundred muskets, ten tiger cannons, and five hundred kilograms of gunpowder!"
Cen Dalu was even more excited. He had just seen the Zhejiang Army's firearms drill and was already coveting the Zhejiang Army's firearms, but he was too embarrassed to speak.
Although he does not think that the battlefield will be dominated by firearms in the future, firearms are powerful and can break armor and shields, so they will definitely be useful in the future.
Unexpectedly, he was too shy to say anything. Lord Zhu Pingan was going to give them a hundred blunderbuss, ten tiger cannons, and five hundred kilograms of gunpowder!!! This was despite the fact that the Zhejiang Army itself was in short supply of firearms and gunpowder.
!!!!
Mr. Zhu is simply too generous and righteous!
"Master Zhu, from now on, as long as you say a word, even if you ask me to go to the capital to assassinate the emperor, I will not blink an eye."
Cen Dalu was completely conquered by Zhu Ping'an's personality. He was so moved that he bowed his head and said anything when he was excited.
"Ahem!" After Zhu Pingan heard this, he was so frightened that he coughed repeatedly and couldn't say a word for a long time.
I'm dizzy. What are you talking about? How could I let you go to the capital to assassinate the emperor?
"You bastard, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Taijun Washi was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat and his face turned black. He stretched out his hand and slapped Cen Dalu hard on the back of the head. This bastard really had no words to speak out and said anything!
Cen Dalu shrank his neck, "Ahem, I'm not going, I'm saying that from now on, I, Cen Dalu, will only follow Mr. Zhu's lead. Mr. Zhu asked me to go east, but I will never go west. Mr. Zhu asked me to drive the dogs, so I
Never chase the chicken!"
"This bastard talks nonsense when he gets excited, but he has no brains. Please atone for his sins, Mr. Zhu." Mrs. Wa's fists were clasped.
Zhu Ping'an smiled bitterly and waved his hand, "Children's words are unbridled, children's words are unbridled"
"Master Zhu, you are the person I admire the most since I came to the Central Plains. You Central Plains people have a saying that a scholar will die for his confidant. This is what I am like. Master Zhu has been very kind to our wolf soldiers, and I am willing to die for you.
"
Cen Dalu knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists seriously.
"Master Zhu's kindness to my wolf soldiers will never be forgotten. If you want our wolf soldiers to serve in the future, please feel free to give me your orders."
Mrs. Watts also stood up and bowed.
"It doesn't have to be like this. Just kill more Japanese pirates when you go to the battlefield." Zhu Pingan quickly helped Mrs. Wa and Cen Dalu up, and said with the same serious face.
"Master Zhu is a true scholar of the country!" Mrs. Wa couldn't help but sigh, "If everyone is like Master Zhu, why worry about the Japanese pirates being immortal."
"Everyone is like Lord Zhu. Those officials can't even compare to Lord Zhu's toes."
Cen Dalu has almost become Zhu Ping'an's biggest fan.
Zhu Ping'an ordered Liu Dadao and others to give the wolf soldiers a hundred bird cannons, ten tiger cannons, and 500 kilograms of gunpowder from the army, and handed them over to Mrs. Wa and others on the spot.
"Da Dao, recruit another hundred bird gun experts and ten artillery experts, and let them teach the wolf soldiers how to operate the bird gun and tiger squat cannon on the spot."
After Zhu Ping'an delivered the firearms to the wolf soldiers, he ordered Liu Dadao to order a hundred masters of using bird guns and tiger squat cannons, and asked them to hand them over to the wolf soldiers on the spot, teaching them how to use fire blunderbuss and tiger crouching cannons.
Crouching gun.
"Thank you, Master Zhu. Thank you very much."
Mrs. Wa's family thanked them profusely.
Zhu Pingan was so considerate that he not only gave them firearms, but also taught them how to use them.
Cen Dalu's status as a die-hard fan of Zhu Ping'an has risen to another level.
"No wonder you reload your firearms so quickly. You have oil paper ammunition bags and so many tricks."
After the on-site teaching, Cen Dalu and other wolf soldiers received a great education.
"The oil-paper ammunition package must be kept secret and don't let the Japanese pirates know about it," Zhu Ping'an warned.
"Don't worry, sir, our lives may be lost, but this secret will never be lost." Cen Dalu expressed his position repeatedly.
