Chapter 260 Advanced Weapons
In the boxes carried over by the group of foreigners, there were more than ten muskets.
Looking at the black ship in the distance, there are even cannons mounted on it.
The visitor is not good.
"alert."
Jiang Zuo whispered.
At this moment, hundreds of officers in the entire port were surrounding the dozen or so outsiders.
These outsiders were busy moving the things in the boxes to Jiang Zuo and the others, but they left the box of muskets with them.
"Are they going to just rob it?"
Jiang Zuo, who was always calm and composed, couldn't help feeling a little uneasy at this moment.
Since these foreigners were able to produce muskets, would their other technologies also be more advanced than those of the Yan State?
You have to know that the muskets in Jiang Zuo's hands were all produced secretly, and the output was not very high.
Moreover, in the entire Central Plains, perhaps only Jiangzuo family possesses such advanced technology.
What Jiang Zuo is most curious about now is what type of muskets these foreigners have.
It's just from a distance, so I can only make out a rough outline.
After a while, the group of foreigners brought a box in front of Jiang Zuo and his group. Lux said to Jiang Zuo, "This is the material we want to exchange. Please exchange it with food."
Jiang Zuo moved forward and took a closer look.
There weren't many gold, silver and other treasures in the box. There were only some jades that looked like ordinary materials, and some small pieces of silver.
These pieces of silver seem to have a lot of impurities.
"No gold coins or anything?"
Jiang Zuo frowned and had no interest in the exchanged materials.
Lux said, "These are all we have now."
"That's all, it's not a big deal." Jiang Zuo said again, then turned around and ordered: "Move all the dry food and water from the construction site over here and let them carry it."
I thought these sailors on this great voyage would bring back some rare stuff, but it turned out to be just a pile of junk.
Jiang Zuo had no interest at all.
The crew members moved all the exchanged food and water onto the small boat and carried them to the black ship on the sea.
After a while, Lux said to Jiang Zuo again: "This amount of food is not enough, please take some more."
Jiang Zuo shook his head and said, "You can only exchange this much money and supplies. There is no more."
Hearing this, Lux was obviously a little unhappy.
“We need more.”
Lux said, with a tone that seemed to be somewhat demanding.
Facing the slightly arrogant attitude of these foreigners, Jiang Zuo naturally did not treat them well. His eyes stayed on the box of muskets again, and he pointed at it and said, "Is there anything good in that box? Let me take a look and then decide whether to give you supplies."
Lux also turned around, glanced at the box, and shook his head, "I won't exchange that."
Jiang Zuo spread his hands and said, "Forget it then."
"Lukes."
Suddenly, someone from the group of foreigners called out.
Lukes turned around and returned to the group.
A foreigner who was obviously the leader was talking to Lux.
"What are they talking about?"
Chen Xiu's face showed a bit more alert, and he noticed something strange in the words and actions of those foreigners.
Jiang Zuo also frowned and said, "They said they wanted to show us what advanced weapons are, and they also wanted to warn us. No, they said they wanted to shock us."
"Shock? These barbarians are so arrogant!"
Chen Xiu was furious.
Jiang Zuo calmed down and said, "Don't worry, let's see what tricks they want to play."
After a while, Lux came to Jiang Zuo again and said, "Since you want to see the contents of the box so much, we will show you what advanced civilization is."
"Advanced? You can say that word, too?"
Jiang Zuo couldn't help but smile.
Lux turned around and asked his companions behind him to take out the weapons from the boxes and show them to the Yan people.
After carefully looking at the styles of the muskets in their hands, Jiang Zuo suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Matchlock gun.
Jiang Zuo immediately felt relieved and turned around to order: "Song County Magistrate, send someone back to Jiangzhou now and tell Master Guo to bring some equipment from the Anding Army. They must be the most advanced ones. He knows what it means."
"Yes, my lord."
Song Gaolang nodded repeatedly and immediately sent someone to do it.
"what are you up to?"
Chen Xiu asked curiously.
Jiang Zuo said calmly: "You will know in a moment."
The crowd watching looked at the things in the hands of the foreigners and had no idea what they were.
I saw those foreigners fiddling with the gun barrels in their hands, putting black powder and ammunition into them, and pushing the metal hook into the firing port.
This loading efficiency is obviously much slower than that of a flintlock rifle.
Finally, they finished filling, and then they found some tattered small clay jars from somewhere and placed them on the rocks not far away.
At this time, the man who looked like the captain spoke a lot to the Yan people.
"What is this person calling?"
Others can't understand.
Lux translated: "We want to show you what weapons in the civilized world are."
"The civilized world, huh?"
Jiang Zuo smiled faintly.
"What on earth are you going to do?"
Chen Xiu said vigilantly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Yan soldiers on the side tightly grasped their weapons and pointed them at the group of uninvited guests in front of them.
"Don't be nervous, just watch."
Lux said again.
Seeing the tense posture of the Yan soldiers, the foreigners did not feel any fear at all. Instead, they laughed with a bit of mockery.
Following the order from the foreign leader, the sailors lit their matchlock guns and aimed at the earthenware jars on the rocks not far away.
All I heard was a "bang".
The sound of gunfire was deafening.
The onlookers were all shocked. After a moment, they saw that the earthen jars actually exploded and the fragments were scattered everywhere.
Such a scene really scared the bystanders.
"What on earth are those things in their hands?"
"Is this weapon so powerful?"
Others were also quite surprised.
Before this, except for Jiang Zuo and his cronies, most people had never seen what a musket was.
For a moment, I was stunned by this new weapon.
Even Chen Xiu couldn't help but feel a little panicked at this moment.
He hadn't seen clearly how the weapons in the hands of these barbarians destroyed those earthen jars.
Crossbow, or something else?
"No wonder these foreigners are so angry. It turns out they were well prepared. What should we do now?"
Song Gaolang was also a little flustered.
"Wouldn't it be even more terrifying if they pointed these weapons at us?"
Chen Xiu frowned, and was extremely alert to the threat before him.
Soon, he had an idea.
These outsiders must not be allowed to succeed!
It is better to take the initiative, catch them all, and find out what their purpose is.
At this moment, there is a tense atmosphere.
