Chapter 219: Set sail
After he finished serving Guo Wenying's face, he turned around and asked Feng Jingting, "Lord, do you want breakfast?"
Feng Jingting said: "What do you have to eat?" ”
Yunmo responded, and after a while, he brought in a plate of steamed buns, two bowls of porridge, and a plate of salted radish strips.
Feng Jingting frowned slightly, "Do you eat all of this here?"
Guo Wenying said: "What can be delicious in the shipyard, just be full." ”
She hadn't eaten last night, and she was feeling hungry, so she took a few sips of the bowl and drank it clean, and ate seven or eight more steamed buns, and when she saw that he was still not moving, she brought his bowl of porridge over and drank it a few sips.
Feng Jingting's brows furrowed even tighter, she ate these every day, no wonder she looked a lot thinner.
"Catch up with Ming Ye and send two cooks over to cook for you. ”
Guo Wenying shook her head, she didn't have as much appetite as him, and she couldn't eat anything good for her. Seeing that it is not early, let him go out quickly, saving Zhang Xinfang from coming and bumping into him for a while.
Feng Jingting happened to have something to do today, so he didn't bother with her, and walked out neatly.
Yunmo chased after him from behind, "Lord Wang, can I prepare some dry food for you to take with you?"
Feng Jingting waved his hand, "No need." However, it took him a long time to go out before he realized how much he regretted this decision, and the real mother starved to death.
As soon as Feng Jingting's front foot went out, Zhang Xinfang's back foot came in, and he rubbed his eyes vigorously at the door.
Guo Wenying asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Zhang Xinfang said: "My lord, am I dazzled, I seem to have seen the prince." ”
Guo Wenying's face drooped, "You are indeed dazzled." ”
The boss said that he was dazzled, but who dared to say that he was not dazzled? He had no choice but to say, "I am indeed dazzled." ”
He went into the room, looked left and right, and saw that it was called a careful look.
Guo Wenying was impatient, "What are you looking for?"
"What about the little lady?"
She was puzzled, "What little lady?"
Zhang Xinfang smiled, "Don't pretend to be an adult, they are all men, you can understand, didn't the adult get a little lady to come in last night, but the lower officials heard it." ”
Guo Wenying snorted and said in her heart, being misunderstood as a little lady is better than Feng Jingting, at least it proves that Lao Tzu is majestic and powerful, and it is better than a man poking his buttocks.
She didn't explain, so she acquiesced, and then changed the subject and discussed with him that she would find a few dogs to come in.
It's easy to find a dog, and it's not hard to train a dog. Zhang Xinfang has liked dogs since he was a child, and he also likes to raise dogs, but when he was young, his family was poor, and he couldn't even eat, and he never touched a dog. A few days later, I really got a few dogs, all of them were big wolf dogs, fierce and fierce, and I was scared just by looking at them.
Guo Wenying liked it, and couldn't help but secretly wonder what it would be like when Feng Jingting came again. It's just that Feng Jingting never came at night later, which is a pity.
Zhang Xinfang personally trained these dogs every day, Guo Wenying instructed him not to let the dogs sniff gunpowder not be publicized, so he took him outside to train, walked the dog outside the field, trained to bite, and played very happily every day.
Although he had made preparations, Feng Jingting was still not worried about the guards here, so he asked Xu Heng to allocate another 1,000 people from his subordinates to Zhang Xinfang, and stationed them on the periphery of the shipyard to prevent someone from attacking the shipyard from outside.
※
After more than a month, the first batch of ships produced by the shipyard can be launched, although they are all small boats, but in the end they are a result of the shipyard, and the day of sailing and launching is extremely lively.
Feng Jingting intended to build momentum for the navy, and after thinking twice, he decided to hold a launching ceremony on the Yangshui River and invite officials of all sizes in Fujian to participate.
Since it was an invitation sent from Qincha Xingyuan, who dared not to do it, even Nanling Gongjiang Taiping was very face-saving and said that he wanted to cheer, making this small launching ceremony more formal.
A few days ago, Guo Wenying re-inspected this batch of ships, and dismantled all the weapons and equipment on board, she took precautions in her heart, the best things naturally could not be displayed, if Nanling Gong discovered the secret of the new ship she built, and formulated a battle strategy, then her hard work would be in vain.
After finishing the preparations, it was already getting late, so she called Zhang Xinfang and took the dozen dogs to patrol around the boat yard again.
The two of them turned around for most of the circle and found nothing, and when they reached the dock where the new ship docked, a dog suddenly barked, and then more and more dogs barked one after another.
Guo Wenying secretly said "No", and asked Zhang Xinfang to lead people to dig up the place where the dog barked, and found a barrel of gunpowder in the soil, and then dug up several more places, and there was gunpowder in each dug place.
Guo Wenying was shocked into a cold sweat, and sure enough, Feng Jingting was right, someone wanted to blow up the shipyard. It's just that they guard it so strictly, who buried the gunpowder?
There are officers and soldiers guarding the perimeter of the shipyard, and the entry and exit need to be strictly checked, and it is impossible for someone to come in from outside, so it can only be an internal thief. Someone colluded inside and outside to blow up all the ships two days before the new ship sailed, leaving them with no ships to use, and the sailing became a joke?
Zhang Xinfang was also dumbfounded, originally said to Guo Wenying that he was playing tricks when he trained dogs to smell gunpowder, although he trained hard every day, and there were also small successes, but he never thought that there would really be a day when gunpowder was dug out. At this moment, it seems that Lord Guo is really like a god.
He said, "My lord, what do you think of this? Do you want me to take someone to dig out all the gunpowder?"
Guo Wenying said: "Don't make a noise about this matter, dig out the powder keg first, and then put some loess in it, and cover it." Since someone has already buried gunpowder, someone will definitely light it, and send someone to secretly guard this place tonight, and be sure to catch the traitor. ”
Zhang Xinfang nodded hurriedly and went to dig powder kegs with a few henchmen.
Guo Wenying finished all the orders, went back to his residence, and thought about it in his heart. In the past two or three months, Jiang Taiping has fought with Feng Jingting several times and lost one after another, and he must have hated Feng Jingting and her to the extreme. The more he fails, the more powerful his counterattack becomes, and it seems that he has to remind Feng Jingting to beware of Jiang Taiping's dog jumping off the wall in a hurry.
After dinner, I slept for a while, and in the middle of the night, I heard Zhang Xinfang knocking on the door outside, "Adult, wake up, wake up." ”
Guo Wenying came out dressed and saw Zhang Xinfang looking at her happily at the door, "My lord, I have caught the person who lit the fire." ”
The soldiers behind pushed and shoved a man in his thirties, wearing a boatman's uniform.
Guo Wenying knew him, this person's name was Yuan Dong, and he was one of the group of shipwrights recruited by Dong Dafang, and his skills were also outstanding among the craftsmen.
