Chapter 179: The Dock
The sand boat adopts a girder arch, and in order to allow the deck to quickly dispel waves, the cabin also adopts a watertight compartment structure. The side of the www.biquge.info ship adopts large □ rows, and the large and medium-sized sand boats have four to six large ones on each side, which are pressed directly from the bow to the stern to increase the strength of the structure. Therefore, to build a good sand boat, the side of the ship is the most important one.
However, the sand boats built in the shipyard are not strong enough to have strong sides, and the watertight compartments are not good enough, and once they are put into the water, it will not take long for the hull to fall apart.
Anyway, the Northwest Army will not change its guard quickly, they still have time, and they are not in a hurry for a while, so they stay in the shipyard for a few more days. Especially Guo Wenying, she wanted to do more in-depth research on shipbuilding, so she took Dong Cun to the cabin every day to check, and every detail was seen very carefully and carefully.
In fact, she has always had an idea in her heart, wanting to load the artillery on the ship, piracy is prevalent on the southeast coast, there are often pirates, and the strongholds of the pirates are all at sea, it is impossible to strike, if there is a ship that can carry artillery, directly bombard the stronghold, why worry about the pirates will not break?
However, the most troublesome thing is this ban on the sea, in order to prevent the coastal people from entering the sea for trade, the law of the Southern Qi Dynasty stipulates severe punishment methods: "If the traitors and heroes and the military and civilians build illegal ships with more than three masts without permission, they will take the prohibited goods to the sea, go to Fanguo to buy and sell, sneak into the pirates, conspire to gather, and plunder the good people as a guide, and the offender will be beheaded according to his own law, and the whole family will be sent to the border guards to fill the army." It builds the sea ships mentioned in the previous paragraph, sells them to those who make profits, and compares them with those who will go to sea with forbidden weapons, so they leak the law of military affairs, behead those who are the leaders, and send the border to fill the army for the servants."
Nanqi did not let go of the residents who participated in the buying and selling of foreign goods, and once ordered, "Those who dare to have a private exchange of goods must be put on the heavy law, and all incense and goods are not allowed to be sold, and the existing ones will be sold out in three months." ”
If you don't let Kazuki go to sea, the ship will go out of the port at all, so what's the use of building a big ship? Speaking of which, this shipyard is actually a money-losing business, because the big ship built has nowhere to sell, and where can it be sold?
Thinking of this, Guo Wenying's heart suddenly moved, and said to Dong Cun: "Dong Gongzi, the imperial court has issued a ban on the sea, these big ships are not allowed to go to the sea, what is the Dong family doing in this shipyard to build so many ships?"
Dong Cun was stunned, he opened his mouth for a while, he didn't know what to say, he was an honest person and couldn't lie, so he suddenly snorted.
Dong Dafang heard it from behind, and hurriedly came over and said with a smile: "You can't use it at sea, isn't there an inland lake? If you want to use a boat in the inland, you can also order it from the boat, build it here, and then transport it to the lake for assembly." ”
Guo Wenying didn't believe his words, she vaguely felt that these people made these boats for smuggling.
Under the imperial court's policy of strict maritime ban, private overseas trade was regarded as illegal, and there were many smugglers and illegal smugglers. A few years ago, the imperial court carried out military strikes against some armed smuggling groups, and the smuggling groups united and used the Japanese to fight against them, which led to the current so-called "Japanese Rebellion". The imperial court resisted the Japanese for a long time, and only a small number of them were real Japanese invaders, most of whom were their own people in the Southern Qi Dynasty.
Mr. Lu knows the situation in the southeast coast very well, he is a southerner, he hates the rebellion of the Japanese invaders, and has done a lot of research. Therefore, Guo Wenying has long known in his heart, secretly thinking that this Dong family is not sure who it is, Dong Dafang said that it is a shipyard that he opened in partnership with others, so the backstage of this shipyard will have to be explored and explored.
However, she is just a civilian now, but she can't manage so much, so she smiled when she heard this: "I see, that's why I think too much." ”
Dong Dafang squinted at her and smiled kindly, he had already made up his mind that after the craftsman learned the shipbuilding skills, he would kill the two of them. Since it was a couple who eloped, if they died outside, no one would track them down, which saved him a lot of trouble.
He was vicious, but he didn't know that the two of them had already had an idea.
After turning around for a while, Guo Wenying said that she was a little tired, so she went back to rest.
Seeing her go away, Dong Dafang whispered to his subordinates, "Keep an eye on those two people, don't let them walk around, and don't let them go out of the shipyard." ”
The men answered.
Dong Cun couldn't help but say, "Dad, how are you going to deal with these two people?"
Dong Dafang sneered, "What else should I deal with." ”
He made a killing gesture, Dong Cun's body trembled slightly, "Wouldn't this be too much, I think those two people are very good." ”
Especially Guo Wenying, he likes the young man very much, with outstanding skills, not arrogant or impatient, and is humble to others, although he is not like a man by nature, but his personality is very pleasing.
Dong Dafang sighed: "Son, what we are doing is a head-killing business, even if my father is willing to let them go, our boss still refuses to let us go." Let's take care of ourselves first. ”
Dong Cun couldn't help but shudder, the owner of this shipyard, he asked several times, but his father refused to tell him, only said that the less he knew, the longer he would live, but one thing is certain, his father built this shipyard is seeking skin with the tiger, and if he doesn't get it right, he has to put his life on the line
Guo Wenying returned to the residence, she and Feng Jingting's residence in the boat yard was also arranged in one place, Feng Jingting said that he wanted to protect her nearby, this time she did not refuse, because since the first day she entered the shipyard, she felt that there was no danger.
When she entered the house, Feng Jingting was sitting leisurely drinking tea, and when she walked in, a smile appeared on her face, "How is it? But what did you find?"
"A lot. Guo Wenying sighed, "What do you see there?"
Feng Jingting held two fingers, "Two points, first, this shipyard is built as a smuggling ship, and second, the identity of the master behind this shipyard is not ordinary. ”
Guo Wenying nodded, "There is a third, we are very dangerous." "The two of them are really heroes, and it's hard for him to know so much without leaving home.
Feng Jingting said with a smile: "It's hard to say whether the danger is dangerous or not, with me, I will always keep you safe." Tell me what you think, what do you want to do?"
Guo Wenying poured herself a cup of tea and tasted it carefully: "To be honest, I want this boat yard, can you do it?"
Feng Jingting smiled, "You don't have a small appetite, what do you want to do with this shipyard?"
Guo Wenying has not hidden any ideas from him over the years, even if he is rebellious, he can tell him. Feng Jingting is a very strange person, on the one hand, he is cynical and his character is even more messy, but on the other hand, he is extremely responsible, and he can rest assured that anything is handed over to him.
She also has strange feelings for him, on the one hand, she rejects him, and on the other hand, she trusts and relies on him.
So at this moment, when I heard him ask, I told me that I wanted to build a ship and fight the Japanese invaders.
The purpose of their coming to the southeast was originally two, one was Jiang Taiping and the other was the Japanese Kou.
