Chapter 193: Foreigner Jason

After the sailors there took off the turban on their heads, they realized that this was a white man. In fact, they were very dark, and they were lying on the side just now, wearing the costumes of the sailors of the Xia family.

Who would have seen that he was a foreigner? He was now full of beards and was extremely sloppy. It seemed that he knew a few Chinese words. Maybe he knew that Jiang Feng, who was the most elegant dress in front of him, was his future master. He quickly rubbed his eyes and walked up to him to bow and say hello.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Feng suddenly remembered some of the online texts he read in modern times, and asked tentatively:

"You're not named Duncan, are you?"

This inconspicuous words made the foreigner who was preparing to salute suddenly stunned. He reacted, shook his head and said negatively:

"Dear sir, my name is Jason Hogan..."

Jiang Feng smiled awkwardly there. It seems that there are still not so many coincidences in the world. However, when he heard this person speak Chinese, although his tongue obviously sounded very stiff. This made Jiang Feng quite uncomfortable. In modern times, it is impossible to be a human being without a foreign language, although you may never use the foreign language you learn in your entire life. So foreigners come arrogantly, and the Chinese people have to translate for them in a low voice.

At this time, as long as Asia is seeking life at sea, it is difficult to move forward without Chinese, because at this time the biggest power on the sea was the coastal maritime merchants in China. When these maritime merchants were on the shore, they were at most considered gentry. However, at sea, many Japanese names and most of the local kings in South China are not as powerful as these people.

Now Europe's center of gravity is still tilted in America, so the rampant seas are these private businessmen who are rich and powerful. Of course, sometimes they also appear like Japanese pirates.

Since the most substantial voice on the sea in Asia is Chinese, then as long as people who are hiding here at sea, they have to learn a few sentences. Of course, the same is true for these Europeans on warships. If Jiang Feng saw the missionaries in the capital, he would probably be even more surprised, because those missionaries already spoke fluent Mandarin, and the grammatical and French sentences are much better than those who are like Jiang Feng.

Xia Wu thought Jiang Feng was quite surprised that Jason knew Chinese, and said proudly there:

"Mr. Jiang wants to use people. How can we say this in Ming Dynasty? These days, our Xia family has found a translation to teach him every day. In addition, he actually understood something, and he actually said it was almost done."

Jiang Feng smiled. The reason why he found an artillery master was mainly because he was worried that the soldiers under his command might not be able to control the advanced artillery, so he needed to find someone who knew what he knew to teach. After teaching, he would naturally give him a suitable reward and leave. He was not a very important person.

The key question is whether it can be copied and formed its own strength. At this time, which old craftsmen have almost discussed it. One of them followed Jiang Feng and said:

"Master Jiang, this gun barrel is much longer than our Ming Dynasty gun, and the fire gate is different."

"If you don't care about those things, do you think you can install these two cannons on wheels and let the horse pull them?"

Before the old craftsmen could answer, Jason next to him said:

"Sir, this cannon is used at sea. It's too heavy to be used on land at all."

Xia Wu was showing off his pride. When he suddenly heard this sentence, his face immediately pulled down and cursed there:

"Shiko, don't talk nonsense. What's the point of being heavier? Just use a horse to pull it."

The foreigner who called himself Jason sneered. Looking at that look, he might not have heard the word "Shi Niang" clearly, but he probably understood it with a horse. It can be seen that his Chinese level is already above the level 6. He shrugged his shoulders and said:

"Four horses were running on the road with cannons in carriages. I don't know how many more they could run after the wheels were trapped!"

There are some words in this sentence that no one can understand, which are obviously the language of their country. Xia Wu was already blushing. His words just now made him feel very embarrassed. He thought to himself, why didn’t you say these things when you got on the boat? Now Isn’t this just a loss of face to our Xia family?

However, Jiang Feng looked at the cannon body. It was indeed the same as the old craftsmen around him. The cannon barrel was much longer. Of course, this was also an adjustment for the range and power. Jiang Feng also noticed another problem, that is, no one of the masters mentioned the issue of cannon barrels.

However, the barrels of these two cannons are indeed about the same thickness as those cast by the Ming Dynasty. The old craftsmen may think that this is normal and don’t even mention it. However, the reason why Jiang Feng is so keen to buy cannons from Westerners and is willing to be a sucker is that he knows that the Ming Dynasty was already far from Europe at this time, whether it is the lightness of the cannons or the firepower of the cannons.

He originally thought that the cannon he bought should be the kind of cannon with iron wheels that could move quickly on the battlefield, but after seeing these two respected cannons - Jiang Feng didn't know that this was the so-called three-pound cannon, which was a light cannon. Finally, he knew that his idea was wrong.

"Can you install iron wheels and walk on the road?"

When several old craftsmen heard this question, they shook their heads. They also knew that Jiang Feng's temper was more kind when treating craftsmen, and their answers were straightforward:

"If you are on the official road, it may not be impossible to put it on the carriage. It is about six or seven hundred kilograms. However, Master, it will take dozens of people to put this cannon at that time, and it will not be fully placed in a short time."

Jiang Feng sighed, it seems that it is not possible. There is a craftsman's interface next to him and said:

"I think this is placed on the port. A cannon is set on the high ground on both sides. At that time, the entire port will be pinched. No matter who wants to attack here, he will be bombarded by this cannon."

Speaking of this, Jiang Feng remembered that the foreigner next to him should have some research on cannons. He was not the artillery master. He suppressed his depressed mood and asked there:

"Mr. Jason, do you have any advice on this?"

No one expected that Jason shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, and said leisurely:
