Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Iron Cloak and the Sword Light Are Full of Cold

Zhao Xin's shipyard was not far from Qiantang Du, and after bidding farewell to the ugly slave and others, Xu Youjing went to the shipyard and saw Zu Xiao there. Zu Yu was even thinner, his cheekbones were high, and his eyes were deep, which made Xu You startled, and said, "Sir, is this sick?" ”

Zu Xiao smiled and said, "Sick? I'm in good shape...... Lang Jun, you came just in time, today happened to be the sea dragon ship out of the dock for sea trial, let's go up and take a look. ”

"Sea Dragon Ship?" Xu You was surprised: "Qiyi said that you made a baby, is this what kind of sea dragon ship is this?" ”

"What about baby?" Zu Xiao couldn't suppress his excitement, and said: "With this ship, even if Jingyong is lost, the enemy army will go down the river, and the capital and Yangzhou will not be without the power to resist. ”

Jingyong is based on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, west of Ba, Shu, north control of Guan, Luo, so the founding emperor of Chu State An Shiyue once had the incisive judgment that Jingxiang can not establish a country in the south, and the strategic location is very important. Once Jingyong is lost, the enemy's naval army can go straight to Jinling along the Yangtze River, with almost no power to fight back.

This is determined by the ancient way of operating boats, and it is always cheaper to go down the river and save worry and effort. Therefore, if An Xiu is a tiger in Jingyong, even if An Xiu Ming Longpan Emperor Jing, he is still frightened and can't sleep at night.

When he got on the boat after dawn and witnessed Zu Hao's masterpiece with his own eyes, Xu You still had to say something. The sea dragon boat is also known as the paddle ship of the car boat in Xu You's previous life, which is different from the previous ship with the oars and rocking as the main power transmission, the oars are changed to the paddle wheel propulsion, the belt and iron gear are used as the transmission medium, and the intermittent propulsion of the oars is changed to the gyratory propulsion of the paddle wheel, which can not only run continuously, but also turn and advance and retreat conveniently and quickly, and do not have to rely too much on wind force and wind direction.

Whether in the past or in this life, the emergence of paddle steamers represents a revolutionary and great progress in ship propulsion technology, you must know that paddle steamers did not appear in Europe until the 15th and 16th centuries AD.

Before Xu You had time to discuss Aristotle's "Problems of Machinery" with Zu Hao, he had already applied gear transmission to the invention and creation of warships, and his subordinates who could exert their subjective initiative were always so popular.

The results of the trial voyage are quite shocking, the north wind is howling today, the hydrological environment is not good, but the sea dragon ship goes against the wind, travels more than 80 miles in half a day, and the boatmen who hide in the bilge and step on the wheel axle to drive the ship have also said that they save a lot of effort, and they do not have to master complex skills like rocking, even if they have not rowed the boat, as long as they have undergone simple training, they can drive anything on the warship.

Science and technology are the primary productive forces, and this sentence will never go out of style!

The Sea Dragon Ship is an experimental specimen of Zu Li, and it was not built into a giant fighting ship, and its length, width and height are only considered medium-sized, but using this ship as a model, it is almost logical to develop a fighting ship. Zhao Xin's shipyard, with the secret support of Xu You, can be regarded as the largest private shipyard in Yangzhou after several years of development, but compared with the official shipyard, it is a small thing.

Not to mention the large dock bases built by the Chu State in Lujiang, Jian'an and Xiakou and other places, Yangzhou alone has two official docks in Yongning and Hengyang, if the production capacity at any cost in wartime is fully opened, the daily output of ships can reach more than 100, from Feiyun, Gaitian Dou to Chima, Chihou bream can be built, skilled craftsmen are countless, not at all Zhao Xin such a private shipyard can be compared.

The chaos is imminent, if there is such a naval weapon, it can really be described as timely rain, and it is a creation given by God. Xu You summoned Zhao Xin to conspire and said: "In the near future, the Yangzhou Governor's Mansion will build a large number of sea dragon ships, I will go to Gu Tingshi to say that the two percent of the order will be handed over to your shipyard to do, and then you can also use the shipbuilding skills of the sea dragon ship as a shareholder, Yongning and Hengyang Dock will give you one percent of the cost of shipbuilding for each sea dragon ship." ”

Zhao Xin nodded, he knew that this money was in Xu You's hand, and the final flow was still Ming Yushan. But his shipyard got a piece of the pie, and it didn't treat him badly.

"Lang Jun, you give me a thorough explanation, how many boats can be built over there in the Governor's Mansion? The Yangzhou Navy has not fought much in recent years, and the remaining fifty fighting ships are still soaking in the lake. ”

"I can't disclose the exact number, but at least it won't be less than two thousand......"

Zhao Xin was completely stunned and said, "So much? Is this going to war? ”

Returning to the mountain, Xu You only had time to talk to Zhang Xuanji and Zhan Wenjun, and talked to Xiao Yao'er, so that she could live in peace of mind, and the right should be her own home, without any taboos and constraints, if you have any needs, you can find Zhang Xuanji and Zhan Wenjun. Xiao Yao'er was frightened many times, her expression was in a trance, and the innocent girl who rode the horse in Jinling City no longer saw her again, but looked at Xu You, her eyes were full of apprehension and alienation.

Xu You sighed, no one thought that Yuan Mulan would come for Yu Su's mother and daughter, and he couldn't take care of it in a hurry, but let Xiao Yao'er know the secret of his concealment and cultivation, pretending to be sick and deceiving. But it doesn't matter if she knows, once she raises an uprising in the future, she will have to fight on the battlefield, and the news that he has exhausted his skills can't be hidden for too long, not to mention that Xiao Yao'er is in Mingyu Mountain, helpless, and can't reach the ears of others in a short time.

Then, he went to see Concubine Song.

After Concubine Song returned to Qiantang, she lived alone in a courtyard in a clean place in the mountains, and did not ask her maid to serve, leaving only Zuoqiu Sijin as her companion.

"I've seen Lang Jun!"

Zuoqiu Sijin greeted him and led Xu You to the main room in the courtyard. Xu You asked, "How is Mrs. Song feeling?" ”

"Looking at the annoying tightness, three celadon vases have been smashed today, and even Mrs. Zhan is gone. I only eat a little thin food every day, but I drink no less than dozens of glasses, except for sleepiness, I indulge in it......"

Xu You knew the knot in Concubine Song's heart, but this was Guo Mian's own choice, no one could interfere, knock on the door, didn't hear a response from inside, pushed the door in, and through the thin gauze tent, Concubine Song was dressed in a small dress, her skin was visible, and she was leaning on the couch and pouring wine into her red lips.

Xu You frowned slightly, and said, "Si Jin, go, take the wine!" ”

Zuoqiu Sijin stepped forward after hearing the order, grabbed Concubine Song's soft water, took away the wine utensils, and said softly: "Lang Jun is here, Madame wake up." ”

Concubine Song didn't struggle, she let Zuoqiu Sijin do it, her drunken eyes glanced at Xu You, and said with a smile: "Xu Langjun, come, I invite you to drink, this is the best slush wine, you can't drink it normally......"

Xu You took the skirt scattered on the ground, threw it on Concubine Song's greasy white chest, and said coldly: "Duke Guo knew that it was extremely dangerous to stay in Jiangling City, but he still insisted on staying, because he was loyal to the king of Jiangxia and did not want the lord to abandon him when he was in danger. This is Guo Gong's benevolence and wisdom, although I do not agree, but I admire it. Guo Gong has always loved you, cherished it, and regarded it as a relative, so he asked me to take you back to Qiantang to settle down to relieve your worries. If you are bent on seeking death, I will not stop you, there will be a boat back to Jiangling tonight, but when Guo Gong falls into Yan Wan's calculations because of you, don't regret it! ”

Concubine Song was silent for a long time, silently put on her clothes, the beauty was equally moving when she dressed and undressed, but at this moment, Xu You had no time to appreciate it, and said: "Since you know the severity, then don't practice yourself all day long, sad spring and autumn are the ridiculous feelings that only those ignorant girls will have, you have experienced all the world, what reason do you not understand?" Since I don't want to die, and I don't want to go, suffering is a day, and happiness is also a day, I don't think it's as good as happiness. ”

After speaking, Xu You turned his head and left, stopped at the door, turned his back to Concubine Song, and said: "Also, I don't raise idlers in my house, from tomorrow, a new winery will be opened in the orchard, and you will be responsible for brewing slush wine, keep a little for your own use, and sell the excess." The big war is coming, you have to use money everywhere, you also contribute, don't eat and wait for death, it's boring to watch. ”

Zuoqiu Sijin looked at the closed door in amazement, Xu You at this time was mean that she had never seen before, for fear that Concubine Song would not be able to bear it, so she came back to her senses and hurriedly comforted: "Lang Jun is also for the good of his wife, he has a ...... without a heart."

Concubine Song said with a smile: "I know more about him than you sister, Xu You is not a gentleman, but he can be called good." He was willing to ignore his past suspicions and promised Guo Gong to shelter me, which was actually very generous. Do you know how I forced Wen Jun to stay away from him back then? ”

Zuoqiu Sijin blinked curiously, and was brought back to the thrilling past when Xu You first entered Qiantang by Concubine Song's soft and amorous voice.

Leaving Mingyu Mountain, Xu You hurried to the camp of the displaced people non-stop. As far as the eye can see, set up camp and Chen, set up the table gate, enclose the wooden fence, the arrow tower screen domain, the solemn atmosphere of the forest makes people dare not raise their voices, and the camp has been formed. The camp is located on the edge of Cuiyu Lake, also known as Cuiyu Camp. The camp should be built, all according to the scale of 20,000 people, divided into front, rear, left, right, five armies of the Communist Party of China, one army of 4,000 people, four departments, one section of 1,000 people, under the ten songs, one song of 100 people. When leaving the camp, the center is first determined, and the four directions are north, south, east and west, each measuring 670 steps, and making a mark, taking the method of one path on Wednesday, determining the area of the entire camp, and then building the barracks in batches according to the number of 18 in the column and the number of 27 in each column, and the separation between each barracks is 15 steps, which is called the camp street. The four armies on the front and rear and left and right respectively occupied important places such as road crossings, passes, and steep slopes to defend the central army.

This is Li Wei's public security camp law, Xu You had personally taught this method to Zuo Yan before, he has nothing else to do, but he has led the army for many years, and he has a deep knowledge in the art of war, and he has already mastered it, such as an arm.

When he entered the camp, he didn't hear the noise of people, and he didn't see him walking, Zuo Yan led Xu You to the tent of the Chinese army camp and saw Qi Xiao, who had been waiting for a long time.

More than 2,000 immortal thieves have all defected to Qiantang, and the main force in this Cuiyu camp is the elite soldiers that Qi Xiao has brought out with all these years of hard work.

In addition, there are nearly 100 former members of the Xu family, all of whom have received orders to cross the mountains and seas, and gather at Xu You's side like wolves.

"Young master!"

"See the young master!"

"Young master, I can be regarded as seeing you!"

"God is not dead, my Xu family is not extinguished, God is fortunate, I can see the young master today, and I will die without regrets!"

There are people who Xu You knows and some who don't, but these people are the last bloodline left by the Xu family's century-old family, and they are also the wings and foundation of Xu You's upcoming ascension to the sky.

There are heroes in troubled times, who can have the last laugh, and look at the cold light like snow in this full tent, shining on the era that is about to be stained red by blood!
