Chapter 200: The night is dark and the wind is high

The summer night came late, and Katsunoro of the Nambatsu shipbuilding workshop had a busy day, dragging his tired body out of the cabin of a sea ship under construction.

As a craftsman who followed the Japanese State to send Tang envoys to the Tang Dynasty, Jiezhilang was reused after returning to China.

Originally, he was only a small shipbuilder in Nambatsu for generations, and most of the small fishing boats he made were all kinds of small fishing boats, and only a year before the departure of the Tang envoys, he was sent to the newly established Nambatsu shipbuilding workshop to assist in the construction of ships.

At that time, there were almost no craftsmen in the entire Wa Kingdom who made sea boats, and they reluctantly built several ships in the same style as the sea ships of Baekje and Goguryeo, and one of them sank unfortunately.

However, when he arrived at the Nambatsu Shipbuilding Workshop, Kainoro quickly stood out and became one of the few craftsmen in the workshop at that time who knew how to design ships.

After that, he had the opportunity to follow the Tang envoy to Datang for more than two years.

Although during his days in Chang'an, Jie Zhilang was only able to go to the shipbuilding workshop for the first period of time, and was later arranged to study scriptures in Huayan Temple, but he still took advantage of various opportunities to explore and learn the shipbuilding technology of the Tang Dynasty.

He even wrote several notes and purchased several books on the subject.

It's a pity that these things were all lost because of the fire in Dengzhou Mansion.

Despite this, after returning to the Wa Kingdom, Jiezhilang was still entrusted with the important task of personally designing a new generation of sea ships for the Nambatsu Shipbuilding Workshop, comprehensively imitating the shipbuilding technology of the Tang Dynasty, and providing ships for some merchants and nobles of the Wa Kingdom to go to sea for trade.

"Jiezhilang, let's have two glasses together, thanks to the favor of the owner, a new batch of rice wine has recently arrived in the workshop, and I bought a jar."

A craftsman from Silla took the initiative to talk to him.

The good words of these craftsmen are the helpers brought in by the Nambatsu shipbuilding workshop, but if they are not good, they are actually high-ranking slaves bought by the workshop from Silla.

Therefore, for Jiezhilang, a relatively noble master in the shipbuilding workshop, they are still stammering intentionally or unintentionally.

"Forget it, save it for tomorrow and drink it again, I just ran into a problem and haven't figured it out, just eat something, and then I'll think about what to do."

Katsunoro is well aware of the gap between the Nambatsu shipbuilding workshop and the Datang, and he also cherishes this opportunity to preside over the construction of new seagoing ships.

It is no exaggeration to say that Jie Zhilang has not left the shipbuilding workshop for three months, and anyway, there is a special living room next to the workshop for everyone to rest.

In these years, transportation is inconvenient, and few of the workshop helpers will go home every day, and most of them live in the workshop.

This shipbuilding workshop, said to be a workshop, can actually be regarded as a small village.

……

The night slowly landed in the Nambatsu shipbuilding workshop, and after eating, Kainoro did not immediately go back to rest, but came back to the deck of the ship, looking at the sea in the distance, and constantly recalled the scene he saw in the shipbuilding workshop of Datang.

I don't know how long he stood on the deck, but he suddenly found that three sea ships appeared in front of him.

Since it was already dark, the visibility on the sea was not high, and by the time Kainoro saw these ships, they were actually very close.

"This waistline is really designed like this, and it seems to give people a more stable feeling."

Jiezhilang's whole person seemed to have entered a new state, and the moment he saw those seagoing ships, he suddenly felt that his understanding of the ships had sublimated.

The presiding officer of Huayan Temple once said to himself that a person's understanding of Buddhism requires an epiphany.

He didn't know if he had an epiphany about Buddhism, but he felt that he had a sudden epiphany about the design of a sea ship.

……

"Wei Chi, you copy the left road, and the beloved you copy the right road, I rushed in from the middle, but whenever I met a living person, no one was left. Remember, kill first, then burn the ships, and don't let the shipbuilders escape. ”

Cheng Chumo and his entourage were each covered with black cloths, only their eyes were exposed, and after quietly landing on the shore, they immediately started to act according to the agreed plan.

The Nambatsu shipbuilding workshop had never encountered any attacks, and in fact, if it weren't for Li Kuan, there wouldn't have been many overseas ships coming in a year, so the shipbuilding workshop did not arrange any force to protect against attacks from the sea.

The only few people guarding the gate of the shipbuilding workshop also hid in the gatehouse and snored and fell asleep.

Without any consciousness, a few of them went to see Amaterasu, which can be regarded as another kind of happiness.

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

Since I had seen the map of the Nambatsu shipbuilding workshop beforehand and knew where the craftsmen lived, the progress of the various people was very smooth.

It wasn't until a craftsman who got up at night noticed that there were a lot of masked people around him that he screamed, making the scene a little more chaotic.

There is mental arithmetic or unintentional, and most of the people who deal with it are only craftsmen, so the result is naturally not too much suspense.

I don't know if it's luck or misfortune, but when Cheng came to the front of the ship with a torch, he was still squatting in the cabin, turning around and thinking about how the next ship should be designed.

After that, I noticed that the temperature around me seemed to be getting hotter and hotter.

By the time he realized what had happened, the deck was already filled with fire.

With the help of fierce fire oil, which is specially used for fire attack, where can these ships made of pure wood withstand it?

In less than half an hour, most of the ship was burned down, and then slowly sank into the water.

The sea breeze at night was relatively strong, and Cheng Chumo and his party continued to prevent fires everywhere, and the entire Nambatsu shipbuilding workshop soon fell into a sea of fire, but in the fire, except for the crackling burning sound, basically no one could hear anyone shouting for help.

"Let's go! Go to the next shipbuilding workshop as planned! ”

Cheng Chumo confirmed the results of the battle, and quickly beckoned everyone to board the ship, and under the cover of night, the three ships disappeared into the sea area in front of the Nambatsu shipbuilding workshop.

The next day, Namba Tsu's Omei Suga Shichiro was woken up by a sharp knock on the door from his subordinates.

The nobles of Nara Castle are reminded that the shipbuilding workshop where the merchants in the city raised funds is gone!

When Suga Shichiro got the news, he was stunned.

Why is a large shipbuilding workshop gone?

Yesterday, I went there with a few businessmen to see the sea ships under construction.

Seeing the huge profits of the sea trade, he personally went to Nara Castle and persuaded his uncle to join the Nambatsu shipbuilding workshop.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and prepare the horses, I'm going to go and see for myself! ”

Suga Shichiro couldn't accept this reality, and he wanted to go to the Nambatsu shipbuilding workshop to have a second look.
