Chapter 2093 Diehard Fan
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 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, there are none."
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 muskets are all old men's. If they exploded accidentally, there were more than 30 muskets, but only a dozen or so muskets were left. Many men were injured when using muskets." 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 12 out of 10 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 I’ll give you a hundred bird cannons 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.
All for the greater good!
The wolf soldiers are one of the few troops with combat effectiveness. The more firearms they have, the stronger they will be, and they will be able to eliminate more Japanese pirates. When facing the Japanese pirates' sharp firearms, the wolf soldiers also have the same counterattack power.
"Ah?! Mr. Zhu wants to give us a hundred bird cannons, 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 was already coveting the Zhejiang Army's firearms just after the Zhejiang Army's firearms drill, 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 embarrassed to speak. Master Zhu Pingan was going to give them a hundred muskets, ten tiger cannons, and five hundred kilograms of gunpowder! ! ! Or even when the Zhejiang Army itself is 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 way of talking and kept saying anything!
Cen Dalu shrank his neck, "Ahem, I'm not going. What I mean is 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. I will 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 said.
Zhu Ping'an smiled bitterly and waved his hand, "Children's words are unbridled, children's words are unbridled"
"Sir 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 soldier will die for his confidant. This is what I am like. Mr. 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 said with a serious expression on his face.
"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. Wa's wife also stood up and bowed.
"It doesn't have to be like this. On the battlefield, just kill more Japanese pirates." Zhu Pingan quickly helped Mrs. Wa and Cen Dalu up, and said with the same serious face.
"Master Zhu is a true patriot!" Mrs. Wa sighed, "If everyone is like Master Zhu, why worry about the Japanese pirates not being destroyed."
"If everyone is like Master Zhu, those officials can't even compare to Master Zhu's toes."
Cen Dalu has almost become a die-hard fan of Zhu Ping'an.
Zhu Ping'an ordered Liu Dadao and others to allocate 100 bird guns, 10 tiger squat cannons, and 500 kilograms of gunpowder from the army to the wolf soldiers, and handed them to Mrs. Wa and others on the spot.
"Dadao, select another 100 bird gun masters and 10 cannon masters, and let them teach the wolf soldiers how to operate the bird guns and tiger squat cannons on the spot."
After delivering the firearms to the wolf soldiers, Zhu Ping'an ordered Liu Dadao to select 100 bird gun masters and tiger squat cannon masters, and let them teach the wolf soldiers how to use the fire guns and tiger squat cannons on the spot.
"Thank you, Lord Zhu. Thank you so much."
Mrs. Wa and the others thanked him repeatedly.
Zhu Ping'an was so considerate. He not only gave them firearms, but also taught them how to use them.
Cen Dalu's loyalty to Zhu Ping'an rose to a new level.
"No wonder you can load firearms so quickly. It turns out there are oil paper ammunition bags and so many tricks."
After the on-site teaching, Cen Dalu and other wolf soldiers were greatly educated.
"The oil paper ammunition bags must be kept secret and not let the Japanese pirates know." Zhu Ping'an warned.
"Don't worry, Lord. We can lose our lives, but we will never lose this secret." Cen Dalu repeatedly expressed his attitude. (End of this chapter)
