"I have it! You can ask Shunjun to help and ask Li Guo and Hao Yaoqi for help!" Zhao Peng suddenly thought of a way. Since the Li family refused to lend him food, he could only lead the army and bring cannons to borrow food.

Zhao Peng returned to the capital and rushed directly to Li Guo's camp.

After asking questions from the soldiers guarding the door, they immediately went in and informed Li Guo.

In less than a cup of tea, Li Guo personally took people out of the gate to greet him.

"General Zhao, it's been missing for many days. Was it the gust of wind blowing you?" Li Guo smiled happily and greeted him.

Zhao Peng smiled and asked, "General Li, have you paid your military salary?"

Li Guo laughed: "How could it be distributed so early? The king has already said that when the troops were sent to Shanhaiguan, the brothers are now full and full, and they are eager to pay military salaries."

Zhao Peng bowed his hand and laughed: "General Li, you have found a way to make a fortune. I wonder if General Li is interested? If you are interested, let's go in and talk slowly."

"Hahaha! Of course I am willing to listen carefully! To be honest, I haven't drunk for several days. Come on, come on, hurry up and clear it!" Li Guo made a gesture of invitation and invited Zhao Peng to enter his central army tent and said slowly.

After walking into Li Guo's central army tent, Zhao Peng said, "Does General Li know about Li Sancai?"

"Li Sancai?" Li Guo shook his head, "I just heard of this person. It is said that he was once the Minister of Revenue of the Ming Dynasty. However, this person had long died and didn't know anything else."

Zhao Peng said based on the memories he got from some online novels in his previous life: "Li Sancai, once served as the governor of the canal transportation. General Li, do you also know how fat the governor of the canal transportation is? It is said that this person is rich enough to rival a country. Compared with him, Chen Yan is simply a witch! Although this person has been dead for many years, his family is in Lijiawan, Tongzhou. Is General Li interested in doing a vote?"

I heard that it was more money than Chen Yan, and Li Guo's eyes lit up: "If there is really this? Then why are you hesitating? Do it! Do it! Do it!"

Much richer than Chen Yan, shocked Li Laiheng, Hao Yaoqi and others around him. The two were so shocked that they opened their mouths and couldn't stop talking for a long time. After a while, Hao Yaoqi shouted: "Oh my God, how much money does this guy have?"

"Cake him! Take him! Let the brothers give it a good deal!" Li Laiheng shouted.

Zhao Peng said: "But the Li Family Village is as solid as a sacred place and is extremely difficult to attack. I decided to use cannons to open the wall of the village. General Li's men filled the moat and we could break in. The Military Weapon Bureau had cannons, but unfortunately, the boy was not in enough staff to transport the Red Barbarian cannons to Lijiawan, and there were not enough staff to fill the moat."

"It's all OK, it's all up to me, brother!" Li Guo said while patting his chest, but he then said, "How do we divide it?"

Zhao Peng stretched out five fingers and shook it: "Five, half a minute."

"It's too unfair if you can, it's too unfair! I've provided much more people than you, how can I get half a minute?" Li Guo shook his head repeatedly, stretched out his three fingers and gestured to Zhao Peng: "Three-seven, you three and I seven!"

"Hahaha!" Zhao Peng laughed, "I still provide the information, and I have to choose the siege cannons. General Li, you can't be so dark. At most, four or six are you. I'm four or six. This is my limit, and you can't be lowered anymore!"

"Okay!" Li Guo stretched out his palm readily and hit Zhao Peng's palm, "Four and six are four, you four and six, that's it! Let's do it immediately!"

Zhao Peng stood up and said, "Okay, boy will go back and select cannons now. General Li will send someone to the Military Weapon Bureau to pull cannons together."

Back at the Military Weapon Bureau, Zhao Peng walked into the warehouse and began to select suitable cannons. First of all, he chose the Red Cannon. There were twelve Red Cannons in the warehouse, but the eleven cannons were all red cannons imitated by the Ming Dynasty. The quality was low. After careful inspection, Zhao Peng found that the inner chamber of the cannon was very rough and there were internal injuries in the barrel wall. Once this kind of cannon was fired, it was very likely to explode. Moreover, the caliber and the weight of the cannon were huge. Cannons weighing more than 3,000 kilograms could only fire about six kilograms of shells. If they were according to the standards of Western cannons, the six-pound cannon was about one thousand kilograms. The cannons made by the Ming Dynasty could not reach Zhao Peng's eyes at all.

When Zhao Peng walked to the last red cannon placed in the corner, his eyes lit up: this is a finely crafted cannon with a foreign language engraved on it, and it is equipped with a sighting tool. The foreign language on it is in English, with the words 18-pound cannon cast in 1609 AD, etc. It is obvious that this is an original English cannon with a very smooth inner wall, a caliber of about 160 mm, and it fires an eighteen-pound cannon.

Zhao Peng estimated that the weight of this cannon was about 3500 kilograms. Since it was an original English cannon, you can safely install enough gunpowder, and the range can reach more than 2500 meters. And those domestic cannons have an effective range of about 500 meters.

"Just it, pull this cannon away." Zhao Peng waved his hand.

Later, Zhao Peng found that there were two cannons with short gun barrels in the warehouse and strange shapes. Seeing him looking at the two cannons curiously, Wang Xin stepped forward and said, "This is a sky-rushing cannon. When it was fired, the gun mouth faced the sky. The shells flew to the high altitude and then fell to kill the enemy."

Zhao Peng shook his head: "This is not a sky cannon, it is a short-barrel cannon. The sky cannon is also called a mortar cannon in Hongmaoyi, but it is a curved cannon. However, this short-barrel cannon is a direct cannon. Compared with a long-barrel cannon, the short-barrel cannon shell is heavier and has a shorter loading time. As long as we improve the cannon stand, it can be used as a sky cannon, that is, a mortar cannon."

Of course, Wang Xin and others couldn't understand the words of short-barrel cannons, long-barrel cannons, etc., so Zhao Peng patiently explained to them what cannons are, what is mortar cannons, and what is howitzers are, all based on the curve of the trajectory. The straight ballistic is called cannons, the more curved ballistic is howitzers, and the most curved ballistic is the mortar cannon.

Short-barrel cannons are also naval cannons. As long as the original cannon stand is replaced and the mortar cannon stand is replaced, it can be used as mortar cannons. It is just that because the caliber tube is larger than the mortar cannon and the barrel is longer, the loading speed is much slower than the mortar cannon.

However, it doesn't matter if the loading speed is slow. The mortar shells fall almost vertically from the air, and the shells are heavier, which has a much better killing effect on the sturdy castle than the cannon.

Zhao Peng waved his hand: "These two cannons are also pulled out, so we will change the cannon stands for them right away."

Two 64-pound short-barrel cannons were pulled out. The two cannons were not very heavy, each weighing only more than 1,000 pounds, but they could fire heavy shells weighing up to 64 pounds. They can be said to be an excellent siege weapon.

Based on the sketch of the gun stand drawn by Zhao Peng for them, the craftsmen used a heavy large wooden board as the base plate, and then used thick wood to create a thick wooden box as the base plate, fixed it on the base plate, lifting the short-barrel gun over, and the gun ears were stuck on the rack. Because the height of the rack was high, the installed short-barrel gun muzzle was facing the sky, forming an elevation angle of more than 60 degrees. The short-barrel gun with modified gun stand can be used as a mortar, but it is difficult to load it. Moreover, there is no special medicine room like the mortar, and the amount of drug fired is difficult to control, but for Zhao Peng, these problems are not a problem.

An 18-pound red barbarian cannon and two 64-pound short-barrel cannons were loaded into a ox cart, and the people from the Shun Army came to pull the cannons away.
