Chapter 71: The Boatman (Part II)
Jiang Yi, according to records, was born in the Jiang family, a "shipbuilding family", around 150, and the early years are unknown. In 190, Jiang Yi migrated north with the whole village, encountered robbers in Fanyang, and was rescued by Gongsun Du, who went to Liaodong to take office, and has been following Gongsun Du since then.
Its exquisite shipbuilding technology laid a solid material foundation for Gongsun Du's overseas conquest. The villagers who accompanied him were also the early naval army under Gongsun Du, or the navy, and it was the help of these people that allowed the material foundation to be used.
During Jiang Yi's period in Liaodong, in addition to the original warships, he also created two other kinds of warships, the Lianfang warship and the building ship.
Many people thought that the Lianfang battleship used by Wang Jun when he attacked Wu was an imitation of the Lianfang battleship of Wu State, but in fact it was built by Jiang Yi's descendants, and it was stronger than the Lianfang battleship of Eastern Wu.
Jiang Yi's building ship is very similar to Wu Guo's building ship in shape, but because it is mostly used at sea, it is much larger in terms of individuality, and the largest is even nearly 30 zhang (about equal to 67 meters). It had a far-reaching impact on the later Sui Dynasty and the breakthrough of shipbuilding technology in the Tang Dynasty, and even had a greater impact than all kinds of warships in the Soochow period.
When Gongsun Du saw this account, he speculated that Jiang Yi probably failed to compete with other shipbuilding families in the early days of Eastern Wu and had to move north. Otherwise, why not escape to Youzhou, it was not easy to escape so far in that chaotic era.
"They must be taken!"
Gongsun Du looked at Jiang Yi's eyes and began to glow, like a hungry wolf seeing a lamb. Jiang Yi, who had just turned over and dismounted, saw Gongsun Du looking at him with "hunger" like this, and subconsciously took a few steps back, away from Gongsun Du, and raised his vigilance.
Gongsun Du didn't care at all, and all he thought about was: "The shipbuilding family at that time could influence Jiang Yi, could I, who lived three lives, especially the first one who was affected by the era of the information explosion, not be as good as them?" It's a big deal that I can reveal the car and ship, as well as the Mulan boat, which is known as the aircraft carrier of the Song Dynasty, and the big treasure ship known as the aircraft carrier of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the watertightness technology, etc., etc., etc., ......etc.,
"It's hard to say that you will be able to conquer the whole world by then!"
Thinking of this, the corners of Gongsun Du's mouth almost flowed out.
Jiang Yi felt a chill in his heart when he saw this scene, especially when he thought of the killing intent that Gongsun Du had shot at when he practiced the Liuhe Knife before, he couldn't help but tremble a little, and he wanted to run but felt that his legs were weak. In the final analysis, the current Jiang Yi is just an ordinary person who was born in a shipbuilding family and has a bit of martial arts, not the shipbuilding master who was more than 20 years later.
However, how to get Jiang Yi and the others to go to Liaodong with him is a problem, especially when there has just been a fight and everyone else is still lying on the ground and can't get up.
Soon, when Jiang Yi was worried and was about to muster up the courage to jump into the river and escape, Gongsun Du had an idea.
"Very good, since this is the case, then in order to atone for your sins, you can only go to Liaodong with Ben Taishou." After Gongsun Duyin finished speaking, he stared at Jiang Yi stubbornly, as if he wanted him to look good once he said half a word.
Jiang Yi was taken aback again, swallowed his saliva, and subconsciously replied: "Atonement? Atonement for what sins? ”
"Naturally, it was the crime of attacking Ben Taishou, do you think that because of your bad behavior against a Taishou, the court can just let you go?" Gongsun Du looked at Jiang Yi with an expression of "you are stupid".
Jiang Yi's face turned red, and he wanted to open his mouth to defend several times, but in the end he couldn't say half a word, in fact, he already regretted it when he finished saying it before.
Gongsun Du smiled with satisfaction and said, "Let's go, go to your village and have a look." ”
"What do you want to do?" Jiang Yi's face changed instantly, and he looked at Gongsun Du quite vigilantly.
Gongsun Du said angrily: "Could it be that the people of your entire village are still afraid that Ben Taishou will not be able to do it alone?" ”
"Who are you, you are clearly a beast of the wilderness!"
Jiang Yi hadn't replied yet, and he didn't know which guy woke up and muttered this. Gongsun Du's face couldn't help but turn dark, Jiang Yi almost didn't laugh out loud, but he couldn't bear it.
"Childe~"
At this moment, there was a call from afar, needless to say, it was Yang Yi and them. The smile on Jiang Yi's face instantly turned into nothingness and was replaced by worry.
A proper connoisseur who changes his face!
It's normal, just one Gongsun Du they are not opponents, if you add Yang Yi and others, I'm afraid they are even more than an opponent, even if you add more than 300 people in the entire village.
"No, you'd better kill us!" Jiang Yi raised his head and said.
"That's right, kill us! We will not let you go to the trouble of our village. ”
"That is, those who are afraid of death are not heroes!"
……
"It couldn't have come at a better time." Gongsun Du extinguished the idea of answering the words, and urged Jiang Yi and the others: "Let's go quickly, otherwise they will be in trouble after catching up." ”
Jiang Yi and the others were stunned, their minds were full of question marks - "Didn't they come to you?" Why do you want to avoid them? ”
Without waiting for Jiang Yi and the others to understand what was going on, and without waiting for Gongsun Du to leave with Jiang Yi and the others, Yang Yi and the others saw Gongsun Du's figure and ran over full of surprise.
"Childe, I can be regarded as catching up with you." Yang Yi shouted happily.
Gongsun Du extinguished the thought of leaving with Jiang Yi and the others alone, and Chaoyangyi and the others waved their hands. Then Jiang Yi and the others, who had given up the idea of living because of the arrival of Yang Yi and others, and were bent on death, said: "Actually, why do you want to do this, even if you don't take me to your village, Ben Taishou can know as long as you ask around, you say yes?" ”
Jiang Yi and the others looked a little ugly when they heard this, indeed, what Gongsun Du said was not false at all, just relying on the other party being too guarded, they could easily find the location of their village by asking the surrounding towns, after all, their village was not an isolated place. As for the issue of saying that a county should not be taken lightly from the jurisdiction, they saw that Gongsun Du did not care at all, and they also understood that the other party must rely on something.
Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, Jiang Yi still agreed to Gongsun Du's proposal, but repeatedly emphasized that one person should do things and one person should be responsible, and their village should not be involved.
Gongsun Du was just planning to let Jiang Yi and the others work for him, so he simply agreed. It's just that Yangyi was very dissatisfied with the bad behavior of Jiang Yi and others stealing horses, so Gongsun Du comforted him for a while before he got over the stubble.
Subsequently, under the leadership of Jiang Yi and others, Gongsun Du took Yangyi and others to Linshui Village together. Linshui Village is the village where Jiang Yi and others are located, and it is named Linshui Village because of its proximity to Huaishui.
On the way, Jiang Yi was worried that Gongsun Du was cheating, so he deliberately delayed the speed of the march, and asked one of the people in the team to quietly leave and return to the village first, informing everyone in the village to get ready.
"Childe, these people are so much that they don't believe us!" Yang Yi found out about this and said very angrily.
Gongsun Du said unhappily: "With your attitude, people will believe us?" Can you trust us? ”
Yang Yi couldn't help but breathe for a while, and then muttered, "Can this be blamed?" ”
Gongsun Du glared at Yang Yi fiercely and suppressed the complaints behind him. It's just that it didn't take long for Yang Yi to be curious: "Childe, why are you so polite to them?" They were going to steal our horses before, so why don't they just take them away? ”
"Shut up!" Gongsun Duqing shouted, "The people of Linshui Village are extremely important to Liaodong, and they are a very important part of the future, and there must be no mistakes. ”
Yang Yi had never heard Gongsun Du say anything like that, so she was shocked in her heart, and hurriedly responded: "Yes, my lord, my subordinates promise that they will never mess around, causing mistakes in your lord's plan." ”
Gongsun Du breathed a sigh of relief.
Yang Yi felt even more strange when she saw this, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Childe, do they have any abilities that they haven't discovered?" But how do you look at them like a bunch of ordinary people? ”
Gongsun Du wanted to scold Yang Yi for inquiring indiscriminately, but after thinking about it, he still briefly mentioned: "They are a group of excellent craftsmen. ”
"Artisan?" Yangyi didn't mean to look down on Jiang Yi and others, after all, Liaodong lacks everything now, especially people, no matter whether Jiang Yi and they are craftsmen or not, as long as they can add a little popularity to Liaodong, it's good. It's just that what Yang Yi didn't expect was that there was a big difference between the craftsman in Gongsun Du's mouth and the craftsman in his mouth. So much so that when Jiang Yi and others later appeared as shipbuilding masters, he was stunned for a while.
No matter how much Jiang Yi delayed time, Gongsun Du and the others still came to the head of Linshui Village when it was getting dark.
It's just that Jiang Yi saw the person standing at the head of the village, his face changed, and he hurriedly greeted him.
"Ninth Taigong, why did your old man come out?"
When Jiang Yi stretched out his hand to help him, the Ninth Taigong shook the crutches in his hand and was about to whip Jiang Yi. In this regard, Jiang Yi could only stand it up, and he didn't dare to hide, for fear that because of his dodge, something would happen to the only remaining prince.
When Gongsun Du saw this scene, he knew Jiang Yi a little more: this is a good boy who respects and loves the elderly.
After a few strokes, Gongsun Du, the ninth prince general, had already walked over, stopped at the scene, and just snorted: "I'll settle accounts with you later!" Then, he bowed to Gongsun Du and said, "Grass people Jiang Sheng greets Lord Taishou!" ”
Seeing this, Gongsun Du hurriedly helped the old man who looked like he was already in his prime, and didn't let him kneel.
"The old man is welcome!"
