Chapter 31 The Shocked Envoy

"Can I?" Li Qi waved his fist excitedly when he heard that he could shoot himself.

"Of course, our artillery is very safe. The prince can try to measure distance, ignite, and load them and leave them to our soldiers." Chu Yun encouraged.

"Your Highness, the prince is not allowed. It is a soldier to do something. The prince is noble, so he must not." The Korean envoys beside Li Li dissuaded them one after another.

Chu Yun was immediately unhappy when he heard this. It turned out that it was not only the Ming Dynasty that had these decadent thoughts of scholars and officials, but also Goryeo.

"This is a bad word. War is a country's important weapon. If a country's king does not understand weapons, how can he protect the country?" Chu Yun said sarcastically.

"General Chu said that our Goryeo was harmed by the Jin Kingdom, which means that the soldiers were not trained and were backward in equipment. Our Goryeo has an army of 100,000, and was defeated by 20,000 or 30,000 Jin soldiers in an instant, which is closely related to our despising the army. If General Chu can ensure the safety of the prince, the prince might as well try it." The ambassador Jin Zidian, who was the leader, was enlightened and agreed with Chu Yun's point of view.

"Come here, help Your Highness the Prince set off artillery." Chu Yun attracted more than a dozen artillery soldiers.

Fifteen-year-old Li Li was excited to operate the cannon with a group of artillery soldiers. He first tried the rangefinder and then aimed the target at an unmanned hill four hundred meters away, where there was an earth wall used to detect the effect of the shelling.

"Ignite!" After all preparations were made, as the artillery issued an order, Li Xu lit the fuse of the artillery.

"Your Highness the Prince quickly retreat!" A group of envoys from Goryeo exclaimed, fearing that something would happen to Li Ji.

As the fuse burned into the cannon barrel, a loud bang made the envoy of Goryeo frightened.

Boom! Thick white smoke sprayed out from the muzzle!

The earthen wall on the hillside of no one is four hundred meters away was hit by solid bullets, collapsed and debris flew everywhere!

“It’s so scary…”

A group of Korean envoys were stunned.

"Everyone, what do you think of our artillery?" Chu Yun looked at the Goryeo envoy with playful thought.

"It's incredible... It's worthy of being the supreme country of the Celestial Empire..." The Goryeo envoy's eyes were full of awe, and he couldn't speak easily.

"General Chu, how many silver cannons are the general? We only need twenty of them, no, ten of them can drive the hateful Jin people out of our territory!" Li Li, who had a shot with his own hands, looked at Chu Yun hungrily.

"Yes General Chu, our Goryeo is willing to purchase ten general cannons from Fuliao Camp at the price of two thousand taels of silver! It's okay to have iron ore or copper ore, as long as General Chu is willing to sell it, we will collect it!" Jin Zidian also became crazy, and he was almost taking out the country and exchanging cannons with Chu Yun.

"Ahem, this is not good. You can see that our Ming army does not have many general artillery pieces, there are only two of them here, so you can imagine how precious it is." Chu Yun shook his head.

"That's right. In our Goryeo, we may not be able to create such a terrible weapon in a hundred years." Jin Zidian said with a little disappointed look.

"But not being able to sell it to you now does not mean that it cannot be sold to you in the future. After a year or two, I will notify your country as soon as possible, hoping that your country can still buy it at that time." Chu Yun changed his tone.

"Really?" Not only Jin Zidian and Li Li, but other Korean envoys were also moved.

"Really." Chu Yun said to himself. After I developed the Armstrong gun and Knuber steel cannon, you can sell the outdated guns to you as much as you want!

"General Chu, you are really our friend of Goryeo!" Li Xi almost wanted to recognize Chu Yun as his eldest brother.

"Haha, it's easy to say. Now my main force is in Jinzhou to prevent Jin soldiers. When the Jin soldiers retreat from Goryeo, Your Highness the Prince can come to Jinzhou to find me. At that time, your Highness the Prince and you will definitely ask him to have a good time in Jinzhou." Chu Yun said.

The Goryeo envoy who was originally just here to do musket business with Chu Yun was deeply impressed by Chu Yun's strength and returned to Goryeo with satisfaction. Just in case, Chu Yun sent two teams to escort the Goryeo people. The prince of Goryeo was inside, and if something happened, it would be a big deal! And I believe that these people would definitely buy firearms for themselves in the future and give them countless silver and resources.

"Please take care of your envoys on the way. You must not compromise when dealing with the Later Jin Dynasty, otherwise the Later Jin Dynasty will often gain a lot of impulse and will definitely ask you for a lot of war reparations. It is better to fight against them." Before Chu Yun sent off the envoys of Goryeo, he still did not forget to remind Goryeo.

If Goryeo could hold back the main force of the three flags of the Later Jin Dynasty for a long time, then Huang Taiji would not have the energy to go south to Jinzhou and Chu Yun would have more time to recuperate.

"General Chu is concerned about our Goryeo. On behalf of our hundreds of thousands of households in Goryeo, I would like to thank General Chu for his selfless help to us." Li Xi bowed respectfully to Chu Yun.

"Take care of your prince." Chu Yun also bowed back.

"set sail!"

Under the urging of the boatman, the Korean envoys and soldiers escorted them gradually sailed into the vast ocean.

"Sir..." Yang Tai, who had never spoken, looked at the gradually distant mission.

"What's wrong?" Chu Yun asked.

"You are so dark." Yang Tai said.

"It's far from it." Chu Yun laughed, "Everyone has a reward for doing this big business. Let's go back and continue drinking and eating meat."

"When will the adults bring a business of 30,000 taels of silver for our textile factory? Our textile factory envies the smelter and the Ordnance Bureau. A single order is tens of thousands taels, which is not like our textile factory working hard for several months, and the profits it has made for them all the arms." Hargrisf of the textile factory said aggrievedly.

"The textile mill business is originally about small profits but quick turnover. In the future, it will definitely make more money than arms." Chu Yun comforted, "The steam engine made by Mr. Watt will be put into use soon. At that time, the textile mill can produce the most goods with the least manpower, and the future is unlimited."

"Steam engine? That's a good thing." Hargrisff's eyes lit up.

"Wait a few days later, follow me to Jinzhou to meet Mr. Watt and see how to use steam engines to textile factories for the most efficient use." Chu Yun said.

"Yes!" Harglisf was full of expectations.
