Chapter 1875 Dagama wants to visit Contai
In order to achieve realistic effect, Marin specially imagined the walls of the barracks as the "Delaware Great Wall" in a barracks near Orich and conducted many drills. Of course, it was kept confidential to avoid being known to the French. Every time he acted, the army would clear the scene in advance.
However, the problem lies in the "Frost Wolf Clan". Because the Husky has not yet arrived, they can only bring their own German shepherds to make up the numbers to fight first.
But the German Shepherd was too fierce and could not tell what was acting or what was real fighting. So, during the battle, the German Shepherd almost bit people. This was the result of the dog owner trying hard to hold on, otherwise something would really happen.
Marin sighed:
"Put all the condoms for the German Shepherd!" The German Shepherd couldn't speak anymore. This time, the acting was much smoother.
But when the real Husky was in place, Marin felt that he was still too naive...
After a brief special training, it was no problem for these huskys to howl in front of the formation. However, when they were really fighting, these huskys who looked like wolves became cowardly...
"How is this good..." Marin had a headache.
These huskys play the role of wolves! What kind of animal is a wolf? A ferocious beast! How could a wolf be so scared that he escaped when he saw the battle?
Or dog raising expert Cilic gave his opinion:
"Your Majesty, let the soldiers who perform infantry will play with the Husky. If you have nothing to do, please feed them..."
"Why?" Marin didn't react for a moment.
Cilic explained:
"These Siberian husky dogs are very timid and seem to be frightened by the infantry holding swords and shields. So, if you want the husky to cooperate with the performance, there is only one way - to make the husky no longer fear the infantry of the swords and shields."
"The only way to make those husky not afraid of those infantry is to make the husky get along with them, so that the husky thinks that the soldiers are playing games with them..."
"The best way to get them familiar with each other quickly is to let those soldiers feed the husky immediately after launching a charge. In this way, the husky has formed a habit. When they see the sword and shield infantry charging, they think that they will jump up excitedly. From a distance, it seems like they have launched an attack..."
"Isn't this a conditioned reflex?" Marin looked at Silic in surprise - this guy, he really has a good way to raise a dog!
As far as Marin knows, even if police dogs are trained to perform tasks in later generations, police dogs mistakenly think that their owners are playing games with them. Therefore, it is indeed a good idea to let the infantry and husky charge "play games" and then feed the jerky immediately.
Sure enough, after feeding a few times, the greedy Erha no longer feared the "human infantry" who were charging forward with swords and shields. After seeing this, she couldn't help but want to pounce on her just to eat a bite of jerky...
Then, the "Frost Wolf Orcs" tried hard to hold the rope to prevent them from letting go... In this way, the "Frost Wolf Orcs" led by the "Frost Wolf Orcs" showed a "brave-to-god" attitude after the war started. In fact, it was just these greedy Erha who wanted to eat jerky...
However, this scene fell into the eyes of onlookers who did not know the truth, as if the group of "wolf" were eager to bite the group of "human infantry" in front of them to death...
At the same time, those "human infantry" who charge will tie the meat strips that are ready to feed the husky to their knees. If the husky wants to eat, they will bite the meat strips on their knees and tear them apart.
However, from a distance, this scene seemed like a wolf biting a soldier's knee, which was very terrifying...
Seeing such a good effect, Marin clapped excitedly and said:
"That's great, Cilic, you are indeed an expert in dog raising! With this, the timid Erha can play a wolf! Well, I want to give you an extra pay!"
...
Malin's acting was in full swing, and the Ming Dynasty in the Far East and the southeast coast were also in full swing. The Ming court was really angry, mobilized troops from all over the country to the coast of Guangdong, and stationed in various towns. At the same time, the military battles of the capital, based on the Humen Fort, were instructed by the cabinet, began to cast artillery with all efforts, preparing to vigorously build artillery in various coastal areas.
Seeing that it was impossible to get a bargain on the coast of Guangdong, Dagama led a fleet northward and began to harass the Hujian coastal area. The Ming court was also prepared. However, some of the islands in Hujian coastal areas could not be defended and were looted by the Portuguese fleet. In fact, the Portuguese fleet even plundered many strong men and acted as their slaves.
However, because the Ming Dynasty was prepared for a long time, although Portugal had broken through some islands along the Hujian coast, it did not gain any benefits. Because valuable things had long been taken into the city by governments from all over the country. The counties along the Hujian coast also strengthened their vigilance, and with the reinforcements sent by General Hujian, the Portuguese had no choice.
Moreover, Hu Jian's coastal garrison also resisted and used some simple firearms to injure three Portuguese warships. The firearms that injured Portuguese warships were called the Wankou Gun, which was a firearm that was founded in the Ming Dynasty and was also the most important firearm of the Ming Navy at present.
The bowl gun has a diameter of three inches and four minutes, a foot and an inch long and weighs 63 kilograms. It is a small-caliber cannon with a short tube with a diameter of about 11 cm, or 110 mm, which belongs to the standard large-caliber diameter of a short tube. However, its body tube is too short, only three times the caliber. It looks more like a mortar cannon...
In addition, the cannon shells that are fired by this kind of bowl-mouth gun are also stone bullets, which is cheap...
Because of the short tube, the range of the Wankou Gun is very limited and the killing is limited. Fortunately, the Portuguese warships are not that strong, so these ordinary performances of the Wankou Gun actually injured three Portuguese warships in the battle.
Then, Dagama had a claw. Because he could not find a place to repair the ship...
Faced with the fierce Portuguese fleet and the lessons learned from Nanlang Town, Xiangshan County, the Ming Dynasty ordered that all the woods that could be used for shipbuilding in coastal towns, including carpenters who know how to build ships, were forced to move into the city and protected by officers and soldiers.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! In this way, it will be difficult for Dagama to copy the previous practices in Nanlang Town. So, the fleet temporarily stopped on a small island along the coast of Hujian.
Just when Dagama was worried about the maintenance of the three warships, the translator Benardo suddenly said:
"Sir, I heard from the fishermen that Dongfan Island, the territory of Malin, Beihai Kingdom, is located in the Far East. Why don't we send the injured ships to Dongfan Island for maintenance? At the same time, find a way to get some supplies there..."
Because the Ming Dynasty began to pay attention to the gathering of materials in coastal areas, many valuable things were moved into the city, and the Portuguese sailors were not good at siegeing the city, so they could only helplessly. Especially gunpowder and shells were hit less and less, which made Dagama very anxious.
Ming Dynasty officials also seemed to have realized this problem and strictly forbidden to contain gunpowder outside the city. Therefore, the Portuguese could not replenish gunpowder at all, which greatly affected the fleet's long-lasting combat effectiveness. After all, Portuguese warships rely on the power of artillery.
Therefore, if Dagama wants to take his fleet to Dongfan Island to replenish supplies, it is best to buy some gunpowder and shells. At the same time, repair the three injured warships.
However, just when they were about to leave for Dongfan Island, Kong Tai, the head of Dongfan Island, sent someone to deliver a letter...
"War neutrality? What's the matter?" Dagama was confused. Then, Contai's messenger explained to him in detail before Dagama understood.
