Volume 1 Raid Chapter 20 Report on our Tuoba

"I want a boat, a boat that can go to sea! It must be able to carry at least 30,000 people! ”

Pei Shengqin got straight to the point and explained his intentions to the shipwrights. These shipwrights also knew that Huiji had changed the sky, and they did not dare to slack off on the nobles of the Qin Dynasty, when even one person came out of the queue and handed it over: "The villain Li Si, add to be the head of the Huiji ship line, it is easy to build a sea ship, please rest assured." If you limit yourself to 30,000 people, you can build a large ship with 3,000 people, and 10 ships are enough! ”

Pei Shengqin nodded and said: "According to what Li Xingshou said, there will be no shortage of materials and materials needed for shipbuilding, and the only requirement of this son is to be fast, and it is best to do it within seven days!" ”

"Ahh Seven days? Li Xingshou exclaimed: "This, this is impossible!" ”

"Why?" Pei Shengqin frowned and asked.

Li Si felt that Pei Shengqin really didn't understand, rather than deliberately making things difficult, so he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and explained: "The nobles don't know, sea boats are not better than river boats, and the craftsmanship is complicated. It has to be exposed to the sun many times, and it must be repeated repeatedly, and it will take at least a year to become a boat! Only in this way can the ship be able to ride the wind and waves in the sea and not be damaged for a long time. ”

Pei Shengqin really didn't know that the process of building a ship would be so complicated, in his mind, the ship of this era was pure wood, so as long as the wood was enough, it should be able to be made quickly. Pei Shengqin thought for a while, and then asked: "If there are enough people, can we go directly to the outside of the city to harvest trees, and then immediately assemble them into a boat, saving the rest of the process?" ”

The noble man said that if the trees are not repeatedly exposed to the sun and oil, they are very perishable. Ships made of such timber will sink in months at most once they go to sea. Li Si took the trouble to explain, for fear that the nobles of the Qin Dynasty would be angry.

"So you can make it!" Pei Shengqin's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Sinking in a few months?" If you only go to sea for a month, can you keep the ship moving? ”

"It's... If it's only for a month, it will naturally be able to hold on. Li Si was dumbfounded, he didn't understand what the nobles of the Qin Dynasty were thinking, you must know that the cost of building sea ships is extremely high, how can anyone spend a lot of money to build a batch of ships that can only be used for one month?

Pei Shengqin naturally wouldn't explain anything to a boatsmith, and said: "It's so decided, immediately go down to collect wood for the ship, save all the craftsmanship, and use wet wood." As long as you can drift in the sea for a month! ”

Li looked at Pei Shengqin with four eyes and said, "Even so, it will take half a month for ten big ships to complete. Even if the nobles transfer more manpower, some of the key processes of shipmaking still need to be checked by the shipwrights, and seven days is really not enough. ”

"Well, then half a month! Half a month later, this son wants to see the ship. Male dog, you go with him, ask for money to give money, ask people to give people, and recruit workers in the city if there are not enough soldiers, and after the ship is completed, this son will have a heavy reward! ”

After sending away the shipwright, Pei Shengqin said to Wang Mazhi again: "Lord Wang did a good job, now you will be reinstated." Immediately go to the market to find General Yong to report, and assist General Yong in maintaining law and order in the city. "A local snake like Wang Mazhi is obviously more suitable than Yong Jianlan to appease the hearts of the people in the city, and with Yong Jianlan watching, he is not afraid of any changes from him.

"Thank you, Childe!" Wang Ma rejoiced in his heart and walked away happily.

After Wang Mazhi left, Shunqiang stepped forward and asked softly: "Son, what is this?" ”

Pei Shengqin knew that Shunqiang was asking about shipbuilding, and Shunqiang's male dogs were all Pei Shengqin's cronies, so naturally he didn't have to hide it from them. Pei Shengqin explained: "Huiji is in the hinterland of the Southern Barbarians, although we have subdued 20,000 Jin soldiers, we may not be able to hold on, so we naturally have to be prepared to run away." As long as the ship is built, we can return to China by sea as soon as there is danger. Build a sea ship that can hold 30,000 people, and when the time comes, it will not only be able to hold 20,000 Jin troops, but also a lot of resources, so as not to leave it to the Nanban. ”

"Well, my subordinates understand. Let's start from Huiji and land in Xuzhou, which is the border of our country. The whole process only takes more than a month! "A little bit of strength is a good idea.

"Well, exactly." Pei Shengqin nodded approvingly. If conditions permit, he naturally wants to build qualified sea ships, but now time is life, and he can only get a batch of quick disposable sea ships to cope with one or two.

"Shunqiang, immediately send some spies to the towns near Huiji to spread the news of the fall of Huiji, and make sure that the good news reaches Xiangcheng as soon as possible, and reaches the ears of His Majesty and the ministers."

"Yes!"

Originally, this should have been done yesterday, but yesterday there was really no manpower. Today, Yong Jianlan has recruited thousands of strong men to maintain law and order in the city, and the hundred brothers he brought with him can be used as scouts.

Shunqiang left, Pei Shengqin returned to the study, dipped his pen in ink, and began to write good news.

The news of Pei's capture of Huiji must be spread in two ways, one through the spread of rumors and to Xiangcheng. The other way is passed on through the official good news played by the Yizhou Water Division, and the two are indispensable. If there are only rumors, the court will not be gullible; And if there is only a fluttering note, the imperial court will also suspect that Pei Bu is revenge is a false victory, after all, it is really unbelievable that 800 people rushed thousands of miles to conquer Huiji. Only when rumors and good news are transmitted at the same time, and the two corroborate each other, can they win the trust of the imperial court and stabilize the hearts of the army and the people.

Pei Shengqin was not worried that this good news would be intercepted by the Eastern Jin Dynasty, this era was not as developed as the monitoring traffic in later generations, as long as he had the heart, it was very easy to cross the border to send a good news to Xiangcheng. Don't worry that the Eastern Jin Dynasty will block the news, if you just break into the Huiji as planned, and escape after catching Wang Ningzhi and Xie Daoyun, the Eastern Jin Dynasty may still be able to block the news. But now Pei Bu has subdued 20,000 Jin troops and directly and openly occupied Huiji. Such a drastic change is by no means something that the Eastern Jin Dynasty court can blockade.

After the general Pei Bu set out on the expedition, how to lose in Jingzhou, how to run thousands of miles, how to occupy Huiji, and how Pei Bu planned to evacuate to the sea and where to land when Pei Bu planned to be in distress in the future, all of which were clearly written in the good news. At the same time, after the good news, he strongly persuaded the imperial court to use Xiangcheng as a base, gather the rout, and make a comeback. No matter whether you can fight it or not, even if it is a stalemate, as long as Your Majesty doesn't go back to Luan Chang'an, and don't let those traitors go to various parts of the town.

After writing the good news, Pei Shengqin thought about it carefully, took out another blank piece of paper, and continued to write, this time writing a report letter. "The minister heard that the Son of Heaven went on the expedition, and there was the Taishou Tuoba Jue in the clouds to accompany him. According to the meeting, the minister searched for several secret letters in the mansion of Wang Ningzhi, the puppet general of the Southern Barbarians. Judging by its contents, Tuoba is too guarded to fornicate with the Nanban, and Tuoba is too guarded by the officials Helan, Dugu, Yuwen, Gao and other people who are involved in this conspiracy..."

Pei Yuanluo arranged for the soldiers to search for the city yesterday, returned in the middle of the night, and slept until now. After getting up, I walked around casually, and accidentally found that my son was writing hard in the study. Pei Yuanluo's heart was extremely happy, and the sky was pitiful, since his son had a serious illness before the expedition, he was like a convenient person, and he no longer had the weak, shy and ignorant appearance of before. Become brave and strategic, thoughtful, and decisive, and have the wind of a famous general! As soon as he came out of the mountain, he made such a monstrous contribution to the country's peril!

Pei Yuanluo sighed in his heart, curious about what his son was writing, so he couldn't help but walk to the study. Finally approaching the table, Pei Yuanluo was shocked when he carefully read the contents on the paper.

"Wu'er, how can there be any secret letter in General Zuo's mansion! You, why did you impeach and frame Lord Tuoba? ”

Pei Shengqin heard the exclamation from behind, knowing that it was his father who came, he still calmly wrote the report letter, and said calmly: "Father, do you still remember what the child said when he drank on the bow of the boat that night?" ”

Pei Yuan was slightly startled, and suddenly remembered the last days of the former Qin that Pei Shengqin said that night when he was drunk.

"The traitor Tuoba Jue, the arrogant name is called the Northern Wei Dynasty, this thief bewitches the common people, and collects the Northern Zhu clan as a lackey. is called Kuangfu Daqin Sheji, but it is actually a big thief! In less than 30 years, the world of my Great Qin has been stolen by the Northern Wei Dynasty! ”

The last "absurd words" that Pei Shengqin said that night suddenly buzzed in his father's mind like thunder. After going through so many things, my father no longer dared to take what Pei Shengqin said as nonsense. He asked in surprise, "Wu'er, what you said that night... Drunk words, is it all true? ”

Pei Shengqin's pen and paper kept in his hand, and a "reasonable, well-founded" impeachment note gradually took shape under his ink, the corners of Pei Shengqin's mouth curled slightly, and he replied: "No, it's just a joke, and my father doesn't have to take it seriously." ”

silently added a sentence in my heart: Even if it is true, I will make them all jokes!

In the late Qin Dynasty for more than ten years, there were many anti-thieves, and there were countless people who usurped the emperor's name. Among them, Tuoba Jue's methods are the most despicable and his heart is the blackest. The Northern Wei Dynasty established by Tuoba Jue eventually usurped and stole the world of the former Qin and became the so-called "Northern Dynasty", but it is a pity that this group of thieves is only good at stealing the world, but they will not govern the world at all. During the 200 years of the Northern Dynasty, there were several generations such as the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Western Wei Dynasty, the Eastern Wei Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the Northern Qi Dynasty, but none of the generations recovered all the territory of the former Qin. In the next two hundred years, this group of moths in the Northern Dynasty will completely defeat the Nuoda foundation of the former Qin, which is really hateful!

Reversing the catastrophe brought about by the water is only the first step, and the second step is to find a way to clean up the root of all evil! As long as Tuoba Jue is solved, the country of the Great Qin Dynasty will be considered to be half stable. Although he hasn't rebelled yet, it doesn't matter, just forge a few secret letters.

Anyway, according to the trend of history, it won't be long before he rebels, and this is not wronging him!
