The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

Chapter 702: Armed merchant ships on the Yangtze River

Although Shangwen can understand the crisis of marginalization, he does not know what this awareness of the crisis of marginalization will bring to Qin. In particular, some academic achievements brought about by the historical research of the Qin State made it possible for the Qin State to view history from a third point of view, for example, the civilization of the Huns and the civilization of the Yue people. The Qin State can look at the Qin people through the perspectives of these people. This behavior gave Qin Guo a sense of self-reflection.

It is precisely with this sense of self-reflection that Qin Guo has this kind of marginalized and rising academic speech. The appearance of this kind of speech will provide an excuse for Qin's continuous outward expansion in the future, because of this excuse. It is always so ridiculous. In the outside world, there are still stronger than Qin, and Qin should be wary of those weak civilizations. Because maybe someday these weak civilizations will swallow the civilization of the Qin people. The role of this kind of crisis-conscious politics is that they are driven by certain commercial interests. Then a strange circle is formed. Shang Wen feels this way, but it is not yet the time to mature.

Afterwards, Qin State began a New Year atmosphere. But for the New Year, some astronomers have begun to suggest using January as the first month. Thanks to the appearance of mechanical clocks and various astronomical instruments, Qin’s astronomers can accurately calculate time. Although there are still some errors, this is a great improvement. But this practice of using January as the first month obviously has nothing to do with astronomy. It has something to do with the living habits of the Qin people. but. One person thinks that it is a bit good for January to become the first month.

"Hey, idiot, have you heard that. Astronomers suggested that King Father change January to the first month. Father King said that this was set by the first king. It cannot be changed." Yingyu said.

"What's this?" Shang Wen said disdainfully. It's just a holiday.

"However, I think the changes are not bad. At the very least, autumn does not seem to be a tradition for the holidays. You should pay attention to fire prevention when you set off fireworks. If it is in January, if it snows that day, there is no need to fire. And, You can also have snowball fights. It's great to go out and step on the snow." Yingyu said excitedly.

"Well, it's really good, and a little snow does have a New Year's taste. It's so cold outside, at home, and reunited with family, it's so warm." Shang Wen said.

"En." Yingyu nodded.

"Right. Every year during the New Year, don't you go to the palace to accompany your father?" Shang Wen said abruptly. Because Shangwen is a little improper in his wording. But the two are used to this. So it hasn't been noticed yet.

"Not for you. You are on duty in this broken office alone. It's boring," Yingyu said.

"Well, indeed, there is no TV and no internet. It's not Christmas either." Shang Wen said.

"What kind of TV, what kind of network. What is the holy festival. What is that festival?" Yingyu asked.

"Oh. That's something that will appear in the future. Is that festival? It's something to take the opportunity to give gifts. It's to secretly stuff the gifts in socks and hang them under the Christmas tree." Shang Wen said.

"Hey. This is funny. You guys are really funny as a gift and stuffed in stinky socks." Yingyu said.

"The interesting thing is that the tree, cut down, is covered with colorful lights." Shang Wen said.

"What kind of sacred tree is that?" Yingyu asked.

"Yes, Christmas tree." Shang Wen corrected.

"You get one. Let me see what it looks like?" Yingyu said curiously.

"This, okay." Shang Wen reluctantly agreed. Then Shang Wen began to look for things, small colored light bulbs, and a golden five-pointed star. Then cut a pine tree. Then hang red socks and lollipops. There are a lot of gifts. These things became what they did on New Year's Eve that they had nothing to do.

In the Yangtze River, a disaster is coming to an armed merchant ship of the State of Qin.

"Today is New Year's Eve. Let's drink it." Qin was obviously in a good mood on New Year's Day. They had successfully repelled several Chu State Water Pirates who attempted to attack their ships. These water thief weapons and equipment are extremely simple. They just rely on sudden attacks, or they lie that the ship is broken and need rescue. Armed merchant ships once rescued these ships, but the water theft exposed their targets prematurely.

They immediately put on the ropes and prepared to board the ship. But Qin’s ships are taller, and the Qin people are equipped with rapid-fire automatic weapons such as revolver guns, powerful shotguns, and machine guns. In the event of a sudden change, these weapons quickly fired. The situation can be imagined, the first to suppress the opponent with firepower in the short-handedness is the one that will definitely win.

Water pirates also have cold weapons. This cold weapon is still a bronze dagger. Only a few people still hold flintlocks. However, the fire cover is still in the distance, and it is difficult to continue firing for a second burst after one shot.

On the Qin side, it was discovered that something was wrong. The firepower was suppressed immediately, and they took out the revolver and fired continuously. Then there are shotguns one by one, just like hitting a flying saucer. This is followed by rapid rifle shooting. If a good shooter is on the ship, he can knock out fifteen bullets in one minute. The opponent may only fire two shots. This is a huge gap in numbers. The scariest thing is the machine gun.

The Qin man installed a water-cooled machine gun on the top of the ship. The machine gun turned around and fired down. The person on the opposite side will be beaten. However, the Qin people obviously have the heart to retaliate. They will use wine bottles to fill kerosene. Although they can use coal, they are still used to using kerosene because it is not fast. And coal supplementation is not easy.

These wine bottles filled with half kerosene were ignited and then thrown onto the opponent's ship and ignited immediately. Subsequently, the ship caught fire. The people on the boat jumped into the river to escape. Then Qin Ren left far away.

In this way, the people of Qin ran rampant on the Yangtze River with their own fine weapons. The water pirates simply used kerosene. And there is really no way. They must have short-hand contact before they can get on the ship, but if they don’t get on the ship, there is no chance to rob the ship.

The armed merchant ships of the Qin people rely on such ships without contact for a long time. But the problem is that Qin State has complete port facilities in the area controlled by Qin State, but in Chu State, there are no decent port facilities for Qin's armed merchant ships, especially the supply of coal. The people of Qin are driven by steam engines. Instead of manpower, wind power. And the port of Chu State would not provide such things as coal, i because they discovered the role of coal. Before, they had been relying on imports to complete bronze smelting.
