Chapter 434: The Giant Ship

Ganyu, located in the north of Yuzhou Mountain about seventy miles, the easternmost part of Donghai County, Donghai County is remote, although this Ganyu is a county, but the population may not be as much as a larger township, the most is the fishermen, Han gave 12 years, Chen Mo sent Ma Jun to the East China Sea to secretly build sea ships, but also sent all parties willing generals to try to train the navy, this blink, three years have passed, Ganyu is still the most remote county in the East China Sea, but there is a different atmosphere.

"I said, madam, come so early to bring food to my husband?" On the dock by the sea, the sun was shining, the sea breeze was gentle, and several shirtless craftsmen looked at the tall woman walking towards them with a food box with some envy.

"Questions?" Lu Lingqi's rather heroic sword eyebrows jumped, and glanced at a few people, a pair of phoenix eyes are very beautiful, but they are sharp, so sweeped, the craftsmen who wanted to ridicule a few words turned into quails one by one, this girl can hold the existence of Haikou, it is okay to ridicule a few sentences on weekdays, but once this kind of gaze appears, it is better to shut up.

"Don't dare, I'll show you the way~" The foreman hurriedly put down the work in his hand and nodded.

"No, do your own thing!" Lu Lingqi continued to walk forward with the food box, not all the craftsmen here were sent by the imperial court, and many of them were snatched from Haikou.

The so-called sea bandits, in fact, are not on overseas islands, many of them are fishermen or clan heroes in the Yuzhou Mountain area, here to train the navy, these sea bandits have naturally become the best object of military training, some craftsmen who know how to build ships have been plundered, mixed in the thieves' den on weekdays, and now they have a decent identity, but those foul words on the mouth have become habits, most of the seaside women have rough skin, like Lu Lingqi, a woman with delicate skin and a tall beauty, not to mention that it is not common in this kind of place, I have never seen it, In addition, Liu Yi looks gentle and elegant, even if he is an official, it will inevitably incur the instinct of these people to want to bully.

Liu Yi has a good personality, basically you don't mess with him, he doesn't mess with you, but if you really mess with him, it is also a set of people to clean up, which can make you worse than dead, but it is not enough to make people afraid, what really makes these craftsmen who snatched from Haikou shut up, but it is Liu Yi's woman, two sentences are not right, I can do it with you, there was a Haikou leader who was arrested as a coolie before, and his words were rebellious and frivolous, and he was beaten to death by Lu Lingqi.

Born as a prisoner, coming here to work is to make meritorious contributions, and now he has been beaten to death, and no one has come forward, let alone dared to come forward, Liu Yi easily settled all the problems on the official side of this matter, and then more than a dozen subordinates of the leader of the pirates were not convinced, and wanted to retaliate, they were easily beaten by Lu Lingqi, and they were fed to the sea to feed the fish, and after a set of processes, they were more skilled than the pirates, since then, Liu Yi still looks like a good man and comes to study the sea boats every day, but no one dares to disrespect him anymore, even if he gets acquainted with him later, knowing that Liu Yi is easy to get along with, It's just that the words are no longer so restrained, and no one dares to be lazy with Liu Yi, or go against him.

Later, the navy trained here, so it was naturally more honest.

"Husband." In the shipyard, when she saw Liu Yi, the cold expression on Lu Lingqi's face was gone, as if the spring snow was melting, she became gentle and quiet, put the food box next to Liu Yi, and intimately wiped his sweat for him: "Let's eat first." ”

"Well, there's Mrs. Law." Liu Yi put down the work in his hand and said with a smile.

"The husband works all day, and the concubine is just doing some things, so why be tired?" Lu Lingqi said softly.

"Huh~" Several craftsmen who came in carrying the wood looked at Lu Lingqi's appearance, and collectively shuddered, this girl has a set behind the surface, and Liu Yi looks at Wenwen weakly, and he doesn't know how to tame this tigress so well-behaved.

"Sir." At this moment, a soldier ran in and saluted Liu Yi.

"What?" Liu Yi put down his meal and asked.

"The king has come." The craftsman bowed.

Chen Mo's guard of honor came to Ganyu yesterday, and Liu Yi also went to visit him, saying that he was going to see the sea ship today, but he didn't expect it to be so early.

"Hurry up and greet you!" Liu Yi hurriedly got up, and before he could greet him, he saw that a group of people and horses had already come in, Dian Wei's lion and tiger-like physique was quite eye-catching in the crowd, and there were thirty guards around him, protecting Chen Mo in the middle like a star arching moon.

"See the king!" Liu Yi took Lu Lingqi to get up to greet him.

"Where's the meal?" Chen Mo saw the food box behind Liu Yi and smiled: "Eat first, don't worry, I'll take someone around first." ”

Liu Yi nodded, but this meal naturally can't be eaten, even if Liu Yi says so, it's not good to eat it like this in front of Liu Yi, it's embarrassing.

"Lingqi see the king." When Lu Lingqi saw Chen Mo looking over, she also bowed slightly.

"Well, I've heard a lot about things here, and she is worthy of being the daughter of Wenhou and the daughter of Jiangmen Hu." Chen Mo nodded: "I have a relationship with Wen Hou's peers, and I have known each other many years ago, and Lingqi can call my uncle." ”

"Whoa!"

It's also a little depressing to say, Chen Mo found that the people who are friends with his peers are about the same age as him, Cao Cao is the same, Lu Bu is the same, and now Lu Lingqi is also in her thirties, and she looks more like a younger sister than a junior.

"[Doudou] King, please move with your courtiers." Liu Yi bowed and said.

"Okay." Chen Mo nodded, and followed Liu Yi to the beach, Lu Lingqi didn't follow, on big occasions, she knew the rules better than her father.

Liu Yi took Chen Mo and Dian Wei and his party to the seaside, and saw a huge battleship from a distance, Rao is Chen Mo has experienced the dream battlefield, but such a large battleship also made Chen Mo a little shocked.

"How big does this ship have to be!?" Dian Wei on the side stared at the warship.

"This ship is twenty feet long and seven feet wide." Liu Yi shouted at the boat, someone lowered the ladder, and then looked at Chen Mo and apologized: "Because it hasn't been caused yet, you can't go on the boarding board normally." ”

"It's okay!" Chen Mo shook his head, he was not a powerless person, so he immediately climbed up with Liu Yi.

got on the boat, and the surrounding craftsmen hurriedly saluted.

Chen Mo waved his hand, signaling them to continue to do their own things, looking at the wide deck, he couldn't help but admire: "Although Gu has never seen the Jiangdonglou ship, the ship built by Bo Yuan should be the best in the world. ”

"The general building ship is so big, it is easy to capsize, the minister has seen the construction method of the Jiangdong building ship, mainly flat bottom, sailing on the river is OK, but if it is above this sea, it is easy to capsize, but the keel ship mentioned by the lord is different, with heavy wood as the bottom, although it is conical, but the heavy wood can balance the hull, that is, in this wave, can also ride the wind and waves without being annihilated by the waves, but unfortunately there are not many suitable keels, otherwise the hull can be made bigger." Liu Yi introduced Chen Mo as he walked.

"That's pretty good!" Chen Mo looked at the huge hull and sighed.

"This ship is twenty feet eight feet long, seven feet three feet wide, about six feet high, up and down can be divided into four layers, the lowest layer is only eight feet, fill the heavy objects to fix the hull, the upper layer, there is a zhang, used to store goods, and then the upper layer is a warehouse, for the boatmen to rest, and then the upper layer has two feet and two feet, there is a gap in it, and the strong man rows the boat with oars, and the upper layer is the resting place of the soldiers, there are two zhang." Liu Yi introduced while walking: "This ship, can carry six hundred soldiers and horses, the bow of the ship is the strongest, wrapped with copper sheets, against the enemy, can be directly impacted, can be set up three cannons, can also be set up bed crossbow to attack, the edge of the ship these planks can be disassembled, thought to be a female wall, there are two layers on the ship, the top floor can be a watchtower, watch the enemy's situation, three feet higher than the ship's board, this mast is connected with the keel, loaded with sails, can borrow the wind, if it is downwind, a thousand miles a day is not a problem." ”

Chen Mo followed Liu Yi around and nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, with this giant ship, why are you afraid of Dongwu?" ”

Dian Wei was amazed when he watched from the side, and suddenly turned his head to look at Liu Yi and said, "Bo Yuan, the hull of this ship doesn't seem to be shaking. ”

"First, the keel method created by the lord makes the hull quite stable, not to mention such wind and waves, even the wind and waves are difficult to shake, and the hull of the ship is quite heavy, the heavier the ship, the less easy it is to shake." Liu Yi explained with a smile.

"I think this ship is more magnificent than the palace." Dian Wei was amazed.

Chen Mo took Liu Yi to Chuanquan, leaned over and looked down, the ship was six zhang high, but at least two zhang was not in the water, but the remaining four zhang looked down, it was still higher than most city walls, after thinking about it, Chen Mo looked at Liu Yi and said: "Although this ship is good, but it is difficult to become a division in a canoe, if the enemy approaches by walking and building the bottom of the ship, this big ship may be difficult to fight." ”

"What the lord said is very true." Liu Yi nodded and said: "In addition to this ship, in the past two years, the minister has also built three small ships with more than eight zhang in size, with the arch guard on the side, and there are more than 300 warships, all of which are built according to the keel structure, and now they are being taken by General Yu Sheng to explore the enemy's traces, and they will be seen after General Yu Sheng returns." ”

"Good!" Chen Mo nodded with satisfaction, with this fleet here, he didn't believe that the Jiangdong Sailor could still win, even if he hadn't seen the Jiangdong Sailor, but it was estimated that it would not be as powerful as this ship.

Dian Wei on the side touched the west and looked west, and couldn't help admiring, after the two finished speaking, Dian Wei grinned and said: "This is a ship, if it really fights, it feels like a siege war." ”

Chen Mo nodded, it was indeed like a siege, but the difference was that this ship was not as strong as the city wall, but it could move.

"When will they return?" Chen Mo asked with a smile, he couldn't wait to see his water army now.

"It's hard to say, the sea is unpredictable, every time I sail, I will bring enough food and grass for a month, sometimes I can come back in three or five days, and sometimes I may return in half a month." Liu Yi smiled: "Lord, there is one more thing." ”

"Oh?" Chen Mo looked at Liu Yi.

"A few months ago, I brought back some people from overseas at sea, and according to them, they are the people of Mahan, and it seems that we can take the land of Samhan directly from here."
