Chapter 459: Monk Fang's persistence
After receiving the letter casually, Tian Shiyi went to find his stupid apprentice Monk Fang.
When he came to the small courtyard where Monk Fang lived, Tian Shiyi laughed, and Monk Fang was performing boxing for Yu Sanniang at this time, on the grounds that Brother Eleven had said that children must be educated as soon as possible, and this kind of education is called prenatal education.
Tian Shiyi didn't know much about prenatal education, and he had mentioned it to Monk Fang before. But prenatal education must use sound, and the child in Yu Sanniang's belly can't see it, and I don't know what effect it can have.
Yu Sanniang saw that the two had something to say, so she went back to the room first, and Tian Shiyi chatted with Monk Fang.
Hearing that Brother Eleventh wanted to let him wait for the child to be born and go to Peach Blossom Island in Liaodong, Monk Fang immediately agreed, and said that he didn't need to wait for the child to come into the world, he could leave tomorrow.
Tian Shiyi disagreed, he must let the monk wait until the child was born, but Yu Sanniang came out of the room, saying that she was willing to go to Peach Blossom Island with the monk, and she only needed to bring a stable woman and a few apprentices taught by Xu Shuwei Xu Langzhong. Tian Shiyi was taken aback, this person who had crossed the ocean, what if something happened, but the husband and wife were unusually unified, insisting on leaving early.
After thinking for a while, Tian Shiyi finally understood that Monk Fang was not happy every day because of the affairs of the Yongle Dynasty, and although the Fang clan people lived in Changguo, they always said that Monk Fang was the scum and traitor of the Fang family, and the monk felt even more uncomfortable. Yu Sanniang is a lady, and she feels sorry for Xianggong, so she wants to accompany Xianggong to find a happy place to live.
The two sides were at a stalemate, and finally brought Xu Shuwei and Emma over. In the end, Xu Shuwei said that Yu Sanniang is still a long time away from giving birth, as long as she does not get seasick and does not encounter a storm, she can still take a boat.
Tian Shiyi regretted a little at this time, he said this matter too early. Seeing that it could not be stopped, they reluctantly agreed that the couple would go to sea early while the wind and waves were calm, and at the same time sent the Victory, the largest sea ship of the Tianci League, for Yu Sanniang to ride, and also asked Xu Shuwei to accompany him all the way, bringing more experienced Wen Po, and resting more along the way.
As for the issue of whether or not to let the ports dock along the way, Tian Shiyi planned to let Monk Fang take away 5,000 navies as the basis of force on Peach Blossom Island. There are 5,000 Tianci Alliance navy in there, and there is no port in the entire Great Song Dynasty that can prevent the pregnant woman Yu Sanniang from going ashore to rest.
After another day of preparation, Monk Fang and Yu Sanniang finally went to sea with a fleet of Yang Fan. Although Fang Baihua was reluctant, she also knew that it was the greatest wish of Monk Fang and his wife to leave the land of right and wrong.
Fortunately, no one in the Fang clan dared to make irresponsible remarks about Baihua, otherwise Brother Eleventh would definitely let them go to an uninhabited island to do an unforgettable wilderness survival training.
The fleet led by Monk Fang did not have any signs, and they would hang the pirate flag exclusive to Peach Blossom Island in Liaodong when approaching Peach Blossom Island, a very kawaii skeleton wearing a pirate hat and black eye patch.
This was naturally done to confuse the public and prevent the Jin people from guessing the relationship between the Peach Blossom Island pirates and the Heavenly Alliance.
As soon as the front foot sent away Monk Fang and his wife, Yelu Xi Nilie came over with the back foot.
At this time, Prince Yelu Xi Nilie was full of bubbles, because Tong Guan died, and the matter of Shicheng was delayed indefinitely, Xi Nilie was a little unsure whether the Lord of the Tian League would keep his promise. Moreover, at this time, the Liao State was losing and retreating on the battlefield, and the Jin State was advancing all the way, and Yelu Dashi had urged it many times. 228 Literature Network
Tian Shiyi Xin said that after a while, Yelu Dashi was afraid that he would be more anxious, because if the time was calculated, the army of the Great Song Dynasty would join forces with the Jin State to attack the Liao State. It's just that Tong Guan and Liu Yanqing are already dead at this time, and Liu Guangshi is holding it in his own hands again, hoping that the Song-Liao War will have a different result.
Worried about the Song Liao war in his heart, Tian Shiyi comforted Yelu Xi Nilie, saying that he was waiting for the giant ship at sea in Quanzhou Shipyard. It is estimated that it will be completed in two months, and then it will be the time to send troops to attack the rear of the Jinren.
Although Xi Nilie was still anxious, after all, he had the promise of the master of the Tian League, so he let go of his heart and hurriedly went back to write a letter to Yelu Dashi.
Tian Shiyi said that he was waiting for a giant ship at sea, but in fact he was waiting for artillery.
The Jurchen cavalry is known as invincible, and Tian Shiyi will not let the Tianci army of the whole infantry go to the land to fight with the Jin people, and the long-range weapon of artillery has become the best choice.
The first generation of artillery of the Tianci League was named the "Old Lady Cannon" by Tian Shiyi because of its large size and slow rate of fire. Although the explosion will no longer hurt people after adding the iron hoop, the service life is still not long, and the cumulative thirty or fifty cannons will be completely scrapped, and they can only be rebuilt. At this time, the shells were only solid shells, and their ability to scare people was far more powerful than their lethality.
And only artillery is not enough, it is also necessary to have qualified artillery.
The artillerymen are intensifying their training with training guns, and whether they can shoot accurately or not depends on the experience and feeling of the gunners. Ballistics has also been taught, but first, Tian Shiyi only knows the surface, and second, there are too few people who have read books in this era, and those who can serve as soldiers are illiterate, and it is impossible to immediately improve to the level where they can learn ballistics after participating in literacy classes. The principle of the front sight has been taught to Liu Yishou and other artillery workshop craftsmen, but if you want to be practical, you don't know how many generations of artillery you need.
Lou Minzhong has already looked for Tian Shiyi three times recently, saying that he wants to be a good elder and seize the time to set the day when Tian Shiyi and Fang Baihua will get married.
The matter of marriage has always been in his mind, and Tian Shiyi said that of course the date must be set by the elders, but it must be within a month. Lou Lao was happy enough, not only fulfilled the entrustment of his mother Liu, but also fulfilled the wish of Tian Shiyi's grandmother and his mother Xiaohua. It's just that Tian Shiyi said, "What will I call you when I have a child in the future, you can decide this matter yourself", but it made Lou Lao Lao worry a few more gray hairs.
It stands to reason that the seniority of this era should follow the man, but the Liu family is not only Tian Shiyi's godmother, but also Fang Baihua's nurse, and Lou Minzhong also feels that it is not appropriate to pull up the Liu family's seniority out of thin air.
Tian Shiyi Xin said, this has not included my niece's apprentice Fang Xiaoliu's seniority, from Fang Xiaoliu's point of view, we should be considered equals.
The wedding date is set for the sixth day of the next month, which is recognized by everyone as a good day.
When you are getting married, you always have to take your fiancée to see the new house. Although the house was built by Tian Gou'er and renovated by Fang Baihua, all the design drawings were taken out from Brother Eleven.
When I came to the Alliance Lord's Mansion, many people were busy inside and out, and it was expected to be completed in another ten days. The craftsmen and small workers who work are all Tianci soldiers and residents of Shuangyu Island who are on vacation, and they all come to repair the house for Brother Eleven spontaneously, without a penny, but they are all happy. If nothing else, just for the sake of being able to say wherever you go in the future, "Brother Eleven's house is something we helped repair." This is a special face.
