Gaomi Military Port arrived at night, it was really a north wind, from the evening, the warm southeast wind direction became a north wind with a high silk chill, with Yang Tong's order, a group of Sui soldiers quickly lined up to board the ship.

The shipbuilding industry has a long history in the Central Plains Dynasty, according to the "Historical Records", as early as the time of the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, this nation full of wisdom has already begun to manufacture boats and cars, "change the pole to the boat" to help the road. At the end of the Shang Dynasty and the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, there were records of the use of boats to transport troops across the river, and on this basis, warships adapted to military operations and water areas gradually developed.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, warships arose in the East China Sea, the Yellow Sea and the Wu, Yue, Chu, Qi and other countries along the rivers. The ships of this period include large wings, medium wings, small wings, sudden attacks, bridge ships, building ships, and Ge ships. After the Yue Kingdom destroyed Wu, it became a powerful vassal state in the south, and once went north from the East China Sea with more than 300 Ge ships, attacked the powerful Qi State in the north, and successfully occupied the Langya area. During the Warring States period, the Qin State was also equipped with warships (catamarans) for transporting troops, each of which could carry 50 soldiers and three months' supplies.

By the time of the Two Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, there was a new development of warships. The Three Kingdoms Soochow specially set up a captain to supervise the construction of ships; In Jianye, Houguan, Yongning, Jingkou and other places to set up shipbuilding workshops, at the peak there were more than 5,000 large and small warships, its large building superstructure as high as five floors, there are "Chang'an", "Feiyun", "Gaihai" and other ships, each can accommodate 3,000 soldiers.

The warships of the two Jin and Northern Dynasties developed on the original basis. The warships of the Southern Dynasties include flying dragons, soaring phoenixes, golden wings, blue finch, and plovers; The warship of the 'Plover' is equipped with eighty pounds, which is "faster than wind power". There was also a "shooting ship" equipped with a throwing car, during which the famous scientist Zu Chongzhi also invented a kind of "thousand-mile boat" that can travel hundreds of miles a day. Xu Shipu, a naval general of the Southern Dynasty, developed a kind of warship called a waterwheel, that is, each large warship was equipped with a slapping rod, and when the two ships approached, the slapping rod was released, which could smash the enemy ship to pieces.

At the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen prepared for the destruction of Nan Chen, and ordered Yang Su to build a large number of warships in Yong'an in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, the most representative is undoubtedly the five-tooth ship that gathers the length of the previous generation of ships, the superstructure has five layers, up to ten zhang, and 6 shooting rods are set up before and after, each one is three zhang high, it is the main warship of the Great Sui Naval Division, the size is different, and the number of soldiers that can be carried is also different, followed by the Yellow Dragon Ship, Pingcheng, Feilong and other battleships.

In addition to the current five-tooth ship equipped with labor-saving pulley combined propulsion device, there is also a siege ladder, if the attack of the riverside city, can be condescendingly erected to the top of the city, to the city to roll wooden stones, soldiers can then go down the ladder into the city, this new type of warship is easy to operate, fast to drive, can be called another creation of shipbuilding technology.

Yang Tong's five-tooth ship is called 'Qilin', and the 'Qinglong', 'Vermilion Bird', 'White Tiger', 'Xuanwu' four ships represent the pinnacle of the shipbuilding industry of the Great Sui, these five five-fold flagships, up to 15 zhang, can carry 3,000 soldiers, this time the five ships came out together, respectively as the flagship ships of the five fleets, and communicated with each other with the letter eagle. Those small and medium-sized five-tooth ships, which could only carry a thousand or eight hundred people, and the Yellow Dragon ship, the Pingcheng, and the Flying Dragon were all compared to the small ones in front of these five big warships, and those ships were even more insignificant.

Among the many types of ships accompanying it, there is also a huge long-distance transport sea vessel, which is also equipped with a new propulsion device, which can transport 20,000 stone materials to the sea at a time, which is also one of the achievements of the Ministry of Industry and the Kaitian Academy in the shipbuilding industry over the years.

Yang Tong stood on the high place of the 'Qilin' and watched the boarding army, and the pride was spontaneous, with this majestic fleet in hand, the Great Sui Heroes could swim in various oceans, and when the navy had twenty or thirty large five-tooth ships, send a 100,000-strong division to expedition North America, and if the Pacific Ocean was risky, let the fleet go north along the coast, and then cross the Bering Strait more than 100 miles wide and arrive in North America. With such a shortcut, why be foolish to cross the wide Pacific Ocean?

Yang Guang originally heard that the yield of rice seeds in Zhancheng was high, so he launched an expedition to Linyi, and for this high-yield rice seed, he took in many troops, and even the commander Liu Fang died of illness on the way back. And Yang Tong thought of chili peppers, so even if he couldn't actually occupy North America, even if he wanted to eat a mouthful of chili peppers in his lifetime, he had to send troops to find them, not to mention that in addition to seasoning, chili peppers also have extremely high medicinal value.

Yang Qinfang and Yin Mingyue stood beside him, Yin Mingyue was wearing a bronze mask, unable to see a trace of expression, holding a heavenly sword, under the light of the lantern, that vigorous figure with a bronze mask, with a strange temptation.

At this time, Yang Qinfang asked with some concern: "Is it safe for the big ship to go to sea?" ”

As soon as Yang Tong turned around, she happened to look at her, she was beautiful and beautiful, tall and slender, wearing a white robe, holding the Shadow Sword, under the flickering light, a pair of big shining eyes, full of worry. So he said with a smile: "Of course it's safe, the warships of the past few years are not as good as now, isn't it also safe and sound to level Goguryeo?" If you're afraid, get off the ship and return to Luoyang before the fleet has set sail. ”

"I'm not afraid." Yang Qinfang said eloquently, "When I was an angel back then, didn't I always take a boat from Jiangdu to Zhuojun? Speaking of which, this is the second time I have taken this sea route. ”

"That's right, I still remember that you found the barracks directly, when the soldiers in the army came to report, saying that there was a female general who asked to see me, I was still strange, and then I saw that it was really a female general wearing small armor and riding a foal."

When Yang Tong said this, Yang Qinfang's heart was sweet, only to hear Yang Tong say with deep emotion: "Time is really the most magical, as if in a flash, the innocent little imperial aunt is gone, and there is a beautiful girl to be married." Little Huanggu, you should tell me who you have fallen in love with, I will personally make an order......"

Yang Fangxin's smiling face immediately turned cold, she stepped on Yang Tong fiercely, snorted coldly, turned around and left.

After walking a few steps, she turned her head back and said coldly: "I have to tell you two things, you have to remember: first, although I grew up in the palace, I have no blood relationship with you; Second, don't call me the imperial aunt anymore, I'm not a princess of Lujiang, or it won't be long before I resume my surname, and the queen mother also agreed. I won't say that a second time, so please remember that. Otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind. With that, she quickened her pace, and in the blink of an eye she fled.

Yang Tong couldn't help but sigh loudly: The girl has something on her mind when she grows up, and looking at her like this, she really depends on herself.

turned to look at Yin Mingyue on the other side, her military position is the division-level commander General Hu Ben, the title is Mingyue County Duke, and the military officer has also reached the general of the Patriotic Nation from the third grade; In addition to the royal family, she is a well-deserved first person among the women of the Great Sui, she herself has huge political resources, and what is admirable is her fairy appearance, which makes people consider the marriage of their sons and nephews.

But the beautiful and powerful Yin Mingyue is still a marriage boss, not that no one wants her, in fact, almost all the people who propose marriage have broken through the threshold of the Yin family. However, these people were retreated by her fluttering words, and the condition she put forward to the man was very 'simple', that is, to take a county outside the territory, and then talk about relatives, without this condition, everything is not to be discussed. But to this day, she is the only one in the entire Great Sui who has opened up a county for the Great Sui, even if it is Fang Xuanling, it is only named a city, that is to say, no one has met the conditions he considered. As soon as the conditions were exited, people with various purposes collectively muted fire.

Yin Mingyue can send outsiders clean for this reason, but she can't send away the old lady Yin and Yin Hongzhi who are worried about her life's events, not long ago, the mother and son entered the palace collectively, imploring Yang Tong to remove all positions of Yin Mingyue, let her be an ordinary woman, and then marry and have children, and live the life of husband and son, Yin Mingyue was angry, simply ran away from home with Yang Qinfang, fled to Xiangyang, and waited until Yin Hongzhi went to work, and then returned to Luoyang.

"The old lady and your eldest brother came to the palace not long ago to find me and ask me to remove you from all your positions." "Huh?" Yin Mingyue was surprised.

"Don't pretend to me." Yang Tong looked at Yin Mingyue, under the cover of the mask, he couldn't see Yin Mingyue's face, but Yang Tong was keenly aware of her extreme mood swings, and said lightly: "Take off the mask." ”

"Whoa!" Yin Mingyue bowed and took off the mask on her face.

Yang Tong looks at it at a glance, it is still amazing, the years have a unique preference for her, time has not made her Tianxian Yurong lose half a point, and even because she has lost the youth and arrogance of the first sight, but she has a little more strength and mature charm, and the ability in the cold and glamorous makes people can't help but have the idea of conquering her.

"If you pretend to be stupid, then I'll tell you directly." Yang Tong looked at the busy military port, and sighed: "It has been five years since you arrived at the Chaotian Temple in Yecheng, and you are a stunning beauty of the country, but you have dedicated your good years to the battlefield, but you don't listen to the words of your relatives, do you really want to be lonely and grow old?" ”

Yin Mingyue's face became quite ugly when Yang Tong said that she was pretending to be stupid, and the words that followed made Yin Mingyue's beautiful eyes flash with desperate sorrow, and her whole person became cold and numb, and her heart was shattered.

"So, I decided to keep you a matchmaker." Yang Tong looked at that pretty face, and felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, this girl was actually the girl who had been with her for the longest time since she arrived in Dasui, even Wei Fengwu was far inferior, he had long been accustomed to her existence, used to eating, drinking, laughing and laughing together, used to spending difficulties together, used to crisscrossing the battlefield together, and used to her covering herself with a quilt during the third watch in the middle of the night......

Let her marry someone else?

Yang Tong did not agree.

"Boom" Yin Mingyue's mind exploded, and her heart was discouraged: I have never asked for anything, as long as I can see him every day; Don't you want to give me such a humble request?

"I'm not married!" For a long time, Yin Mingyue knelt in front of Yang Tong and said eagerly: "Holy Lord, please don't drive me away, don't drive me away, okay?" I don't want to marry, and if you force me to go, I'll kill myself immediately. ”

As he spoke, he was about to pull out the Heavenly Alien Sword in his hand.

Yang Tong grabbed her hand and smiled, "Don't you want to know who I want to protect the media?" ”

"Who, who?" Yin Mingyue asked eagerly, eager to get off the boat immediately and stab that damn guy to death with a sword.

"Myself!"

"Huh?" Yin Mingyue's mind was messy.

Yang Tong helped her up and said with a smile: "When Old Lady Yin and Yin Hongzhi came to me to protect the media, I found that you have become a part of my life, and I am not only used to your existence, but also feel heartache. Let me give up my beloved woman, let me watch my beloved woman marry someone else's wife, I will not agree, otherwise what is the meaning of this emperor? ”

"I used to think that the person you liked was Du Ruhui, but later I saw that you had a very bad impression of Fang Xuanling, and I mistakenly thought it was Fang Xuanling, but I found that I was thinking too much. Four years ago, we had a white head covenant, I told you on the plug, it will take you three to five years, if after four years, your sweetheart does not want you, I want it. Now that four years have passed, Mingyue, should you give me an answer? ”

Hearing Yang Tong's words, Yin Mingyue's tears that she had endured for a long time slipped from her eyes, and an inexplicable warm current gushed out from the depths of her heart, and the desperate coldness on her body was like the scorching summer sun, and the ice and snow melted......

For her, Yang Tong is irreplaceable, for the sake of that faint hope, she has stayed in the Shura camp for several years, as the chief general of the palace guard, just to be closer to Yang Tong.

When Yang Tong asked her just now, her heart was extremely desperate, thinking that Yang Tong had blasted her away and married her to a man she didn't know, and her heart was like ashes for a while, but the heart that was about to die was brought from hell to heaven by Yang Tong's words. Rao is will has been tempered as hard as iron, and she can't stop the tears in her eyes at this moment.

"Marrying me, does it really make Mingyue so painful?" Looking at the tearful Yin Mingyue, Yang Tong's heart melted, and there was a bit of ridicule in his gentle smile.

Yin Mingyue was at a loss, her heart was like a deer, she didn't know how to deal with it, and her heart had never been as chaotic as it was now. Excitement, joy, panic, happiness and other emotions came one after another, and I couldn't say a word.

"Would you like it or not?"

"Mingyue is willing." After a long time, Yin Mingyue choked and squeezed this sentence out of her throat.

"Then you Yin Mingyue, you will be my Yang Dong's woman in this life." Yang Tong's tone seemed aggressive, in fact, he didn't know how to express it, in the final analysis, it was because of his wives who didn't need him to pursue, and there was no stage of pursuit, so he just got married first and then fell in love. So he was simply concise and straightforward, which directly made Yin Mingyue's heart sweet, but he didn't know how to deal with it.

"Hmm!" Yin Mingyue lowered her head shyly.

"When the triumph returns, I will canonize you. I just wronged you. "The ancestral system of the Great Sui is one after three concubines, but when it comes to Yang Tong, from the third concubine to the fourth concubine, the fifth concubine, and one more, it is really too unruly, and future generations will accept a woman as a concubine if they fancy it, and if they fancy a woman, they will accept it as a concubine, isn't it a big mess in the world?

Yin Mingyue understood what Yang Tong meant, she bravely raised her head, looked at the man who was about to become herself in love with her bone marrow, and said seriously: "As long as I can be a holy woman, I don't care about anything......"

Once a woman is emotional, she will lower her position to the dust, not to mention Yin Mingyue, who has always put herself in a humble position?

After thinking about it, Yang Tong felt that this so-called ancestral system was not reliable, and it seemed that no one had complied with it, such as himself; For example, in addition to the queen, Li Shimin in the calendar has Concubine Yang, Concubine Wei, Concubine Yin, and Concubine Xu Xian. It's a big deal that I forcibly stipulate that the next generation will only be the first and third concubines, so I said: "I decided to canonize you as Concubine De." ”

"I don't... The Holy One doesn't need to make an exception for me..."Yin Mingyue flatly refused.

Yang Tong smiled heartily: "My emperor is a bit similar to Liu Xiu, although it is all entrusted to the ancestor Yu Yin, but in fact it is not much different from the founding king, if it were not for Liu Xiu is the descendant of Liu Bang, I am afraid it is a new dynasty, and I am the same." If I can't even decide on a woman's title, can I still decide to win the whole world? ”

Yin Mingyue's heart was soft, tears of happiness flowed in her eyes, and she looked at Yang Tong in a daze, as if she wanted to keep his appearance firmly in her heart for the rest of her life......

Yang Tong couldn't help but hug her into his arms and looked at her with warm eyes.

Yin Mingyue didn't understand what she meant for a while, but her heart was as careful as dust, and she immediately felt the meaning of the strings, at her age, she understood everything she should understand, not to mention that when Yang Tong took Shui Tianji to fight before, she was a guard general, although she didn't want to hear it, she heard a lot. Over time, I have learned a lot about this.

At this moment, she felt that Yang Tong's gaze was like a hot fire, scorching her crystal clear cheeks, spreading the root of the ear in a moment, the breathing also changed, and the trembling eyelashes, like a pair of fluttering butterflies, finally closed their eyes as if resigned to their fate.

Suddenly, she felt Yang Tong wrap a strong arm around her slender waist, caressed her fiery left jade cheek with one hand, and tossed a few locks of green silk fluttering in the wind, leaning against it, covering her trembling and trembling cherry lips.

When her lips were captured, Yin Mingyue's mind roared, becoming a blank mass, and her soul seemed to fly away from the nine heavens, merging with the stars.

After a long time, the two slowly separated, Yin Mingyue opened her eyes, and buried her head in Ailang's arms in shame, she was deeply infatuated with this wonderful taste, and she actually had the urge to cry.

Yang Tong did not take any further action, but hugged her and watched the dock from busy to quiet, to anchor and sailing, and carefully experienced the beautiful feeling of 'silence is better than sound'.

The fleet sailed, and in the darkness of the night, it was like a fiery dragon winding south.

The night wind was extremely strong, and the sea breeze in February was still very cold, and I didn't know how long it had been, the tenderness in Yin Mingyue's heart gradually dissolved, her long eyelashes moved slightly, and she said softly: "Holy Lord, you still have a lot of military affairs to deal with tomorrow......

Yang Tong nodded, "Let's go back!" ”

The two walked hand in hand to the cabin, the 'Qilin Ship' is five stories high, the fifth floor is dedicated to Yang Tong, the fourth floor is where he handles official business, the third floor is where Yang Qinfang, Yin Mingyue and Shura Wei live, and there are 1,500 Xuanjia soldiers guarding the first and second floors.

At the mouth of the ladder, the cloudy moon suddenly stopped.

In the dim light, Yin Mingyue's face was delicate without a trace of flaws, like an elf in the night, she was reluctant to let go of Yang Dong's hand, just looked at him stupidly, like a pair of black crystal eyes faintly flowing with a trace of expectation.

Yang Tong hugged her into his arms and whispered in her ear, "Stay!" ”

Yin Mingyue's face turned red.

Although this is inconsistent with etiquette, human emotions are often not bound by etiquette, even if it is an outstanding woman like Yin Mingyue, the opposite relationship is the same as ordinary people, and the emotions that have been suppressed for many years have finally come to fruition, at this moment, either reluctant to separate from Ailang, or perhaps thinking that she is already Yang Dong's person, she just hesitated for a moment, and then nodded shyly.

Yang Tong hugged her into the large cabin composed of three cabins where he lived, and when the two of them arrived in the inner room, Yin Mingyue was as enthusiastic as fire, and took the initiative to hug Yang Tong's neck and ask for a kiss without knowing the height of the sky.

Under the bright candlelight, the moving skin slowly appeared, and this night was an endless flow of romance and endless spring colors.
