Chapter 947: Superior
The design of the "Auror" is very similar to that of a three-masted galleon, so that it can get the maximum wind propulsion, and iron plates are sandwiched between the nose and middle parts of the ship to ensure the ship's ability to resist attack. Therefore, just looking at the size of the "Aolong" ship is a whole circle larger than the "Sea Dragon" ship, but the weight is three times that of the latter, such a huge hull can not move freely even with new power such as roller pulp, and wind power has become the key power for his sailing! In fact, in terms of function alone, the "Aolong" ship is more suitable for sea navigation, and the wind strength will be weakened compared to the sea in the inland river, and its speed and agility will be affected relatively speaking, which may be its biggest shortcoming! However, in the water combat conceived by Gan Ning, the "Aolong" ship is more used as a command and powerful long-range strike weapon, and the rest of the combat tasks can be shared by warships such as the Sea Dragon Jiaolong.
If you look closely, there are more than a dozen sunken places on the thick wooden floor of the foredeck of the giant ship, which are used as the base of the Xiangyang cannon during the water war, and few people will set foot in it when the soldiers enjoy the scenery of the sea quite leisurely, and these sunken places must be carefully cleaned every day, and those ship-borne Xiangyang guns are kept in the cabin of the "Aolong" ship at this time, under normal circumstances, the thirteen Xiangyang cannons will not all be installed in place, in the Flying Tiger Army's weekday drills and Gan Ning and the generals are discussed, Nine planes are enough to deal a powerful blow to any enemy naval army, and it can also save space above deck, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
Li Tieniu, the commander of the Vermilion Bird Battalion, has a special giant sky-bombing cannon named "Big Guy" in his hand, and the battle of this attack on Leping is also a great display of might, according to the estimation of the soldiers, the maximum attack distance of the "Big Guy" can reach 500 steps, which is inseparable from its whole body of fine iron structure. Although the Xiangyang cannon on the "Aolong" ship is not all made of fine iron, it also accounts for a great proportion, and the land battle, the equipment can be maintained and repaired in time, and on the water obviously there is greater difficulty, so in addition to the requirements of power, the status of durability is highlighted, and the material of the ship-borne Xiangyang cannon is much better than that of the army equipment battalion.
"Yang Sima, every time I ask about you, I cover up the mystery, today Yan Sima is here, you have to tell the brothers happily, otherwise don't blame us for committing the next crime!" On the side near the cabin, a tall man with dark skin and cool hair was smiling and saying to the middle-aged man beside him, although his face was full of smiles, there was a hint of threat in his words, and beside him were dozens of Flying Tiger soldiers in a circle, dark skin became their common characteristic, and they practiced at sea every day, almost every Flying Tiger sergeant was like this, even the second general was no exception.
"Yo, Xiaoliu, I haven't seen you for a few years, right, and you dare to threaten me, if it weren't for the face of Lao Yan and the brothers, Lao Tzu would still ignore you, but see what you can do to me." The middle-aged man seemed to be quite disdainful, but there was no sign of weakness in his words, as soon as the tall man spoke, another military Sima and a group of soldiers dressed in the same clothes as him showed an interested look on their faces.
"You Yang Sima has followed Commander Zhang back and forth between the islands in the past few years, how majestic and domineering he was at that time, and what can he do with you in the future, but the brothers are curious about the things on the island, brother, your guanzi has sold enough, not to mention that everyone can't help it!" Hearing Yang Sima's first half of the sentence, the tall man's face smiled, but as the other party showed weakness, he also became gentle.
"Xiaoliu, what are you talking about with him, do you like to talk about it, if you want me to say that you have eaten and drunk spicy food in Fangshan in the past few years, Lao Tzu is exposed to the wind and sun in Xuzhou every day, you look at this one by one is darker than the Japanese slaves in his mother's mines, don't say it's okay, brothers will throw you into the sea!" Although this Yang Sima is not his top boss, Xiao Liu still has to take into account some of the upper and lower differences, but Sima, surnamed Yan, who is at the same level, will not be so polite, and he said ruthlessly at the moment.
"Hey~~ Lao Tzu kindly came to teach you how to sail on the sea, you don't know the hearts of good people, Lao Yan, don't forget, who helped you fight with those landlubbers in the Youzhou Martial Arts Academy that day? Who did you kid learn from ingratitude? Yang Sima also shouted when he heard this.
"Our brother still wants you to teach? That's the military order of the second general, don't you teach it if you have the ability? You don't say it, brothers are ready to do it! Yan Sima snorted in his nose, and walked in front of Yang Sima to speak, as soon as he said this, those surrounding soldiers also rolled up their sleeves, Yan Jun's soldiers have always been very obedient, and they really dare to do it when their boss orders them.
"Stop, stop, I said, Lao Yan is ruthless, this is how your Xuzhou battalion treats your comrades? Settle accounts with you sooner or later, Xiaoliu, pour me a bowl of tea......" Seeing this, Yang Sima kept saying with his hands in his mouth, he and the other party are both military Sima positions, but Yan Xing is a person from the Xuzhou branch of the Flying Tiger Army, and he is really a tiger, he can't afford to mess with these wolf-like boys, the so-called people who know the times are Junjie, of course, this face must be done enough.
Hearing this, Xiao Liu hurriedly ran to pour the tea, and the surrounding soldiers all approached, looking like they were listening carefully. In the past two years, the Flying Tiger Army has been divided into two, the Xuzhou branch is stationed in the Xiapi Linhai place to practice day and night, and the Fangshan branch has done a good job of transporting slaves on the island while training! The practice is comparable to the two, but when it comes to sea navigation, the Fangshan branch has more experience, and when Pang Tong's proposal has not been approved by King Yan, Gan Ning has already transferred many generals from Fangshan who have crossed the sea to come to Youzhou to teach experience.
This Yang Sima's name is Yang Can, but he is not very old, and he is afraid that it has a lot to do with the wind and waves on the sea, and now he is only in his early thirties, but he is like a forty-something, he is not Gan Ning's old subordinate back then, it can be said that he is a naval talent cultivated by the Yan Army after the Flying Tiger Army became an army, and this Yan Sima who was present in the Youzhou Martial Arts Academy that day was a student of the same period! The strength of the Yan soldiers is well known to the world, and these generals do not have a few good tempers, the Flying Tiger Army has been divided into water and army, and it is not surprising that there are sometimes small contradictions between each other, and there was a fight between the two sides when they were training in the martial arts academy, and the scene was quite big! When it comes to numbers, the army is naturally the majority, but they will never do anything to bully the less, even ordinary soldiers will never do this, if the more bullying and the less spread, they will be despised by everyone.
There is a clear military law in the Yan army that does not allow private fighting, but it is impossible for you to make these fierce soldiers completely harmonious, and many people are willing to pay the price of dozens of military sticks in one breath, and in this regard, from the king of Yan to the generals of the various armies have maintained a certain degree of connivance, how can the soldiers have strong combat power without fire, it is regarded as a combat exercise, but there is one point that both sides must be measured, especially not to use knives and guns, punches and kicks the most nose and face are swollen and ugly, and it is not a big deal. If you have a sword, you will be killed, and if you hurt someone too badly or your life, you will not only be severely punished, but you will also be expelled from the barracks immediately.
On that day, no one refused to give in to the battle of morale between the two sides, and the addition of fists and feet was extraordinary, and the instructors couldn't pull it, and finally it was Guan Hai, the commander of the guard battalion around King Yan, who came to calm down the chaos, and the two sides could be said to be evenly divided, and about more than ten people were slightly injured to varying degrees! Ziping came to deal with this matter in terms of candidates, even a general like Zhang He would be difficult to deal with because of the difference in identity, and it would be a bit of a fuss to let Xi Zhicai come forward for this matter! Guan Hai is a person close to King Yan, and he has a great reputation among the Yan army, and his handling of this farce should be able to convince both sides.
Ziping did not use military law to deal with these troublemakers, but in the future teaching, they were asked to wear heavy sand clothes, and they were not even allowed to take them off when they slept, otherwise once they found out, they would not want to return to the original army, and they would stay in the martial arts academy with peace of mind! Don't you have the strength to do it? Just give a way to vent your energy. Of course, these will not be the methods that Guan Hai came up with, he just acted according to the words of King Yan, and these arrogant soldiers and fierce generals did not dare to disobey, and after a long time, they gradually got along because of the same disease, and after half a month, King Yan personally came to the martial arts courtyard and reprimanded them fiercely.
Yang Can took over the friendship with Yan Xing at this time, the two were not familiar with each other before, but it was about the common honor of the Flying Tiger Army, and as a comrade in the army, he couldn't sit idly by! Yang Sima was very respected by Xuan Lang and Zhang Rong in the Fangshan Branch, and also led thousands of soldiers to the island to transport slaves, and all the generals needed to accumulate experience in navigation, under the premise that the safety could be guaranteed to the greatest extent after many practices, Xuan Lang and Zhang Rong began to let the middle-level generals in the army personally feel the voyage between the island and the Han, in their eyes, only the voyage will have a certain danger, but the island is safe.
Now there are tens of thousands of island slaves working in the Yan Land, and they are still being transported in a steady stream every year, and they are the labor that Liu Yi desperately needs! However, in terms of fame, it is very far from those female slaves, and now there will be maids in the great families of the Han states, which they spent a lot of money to buy from Beiping, and it is also the way of King Yan to make money, and from an urgent point of view, this business is all a seller's market and a monopoly, the profits can be imagined, only buy the expensive ones and not buy the right ones is not the patent of the descendants! What Liu Yi has to do is to make owning a maid of the Japanese Kingdom a fashion for the family, and then there will be a lot of money!
Of course, compared with the local women of the Han Dynasty, the maids of the Japanese Kingdom also have a lot of unusual benefits, especially their obedience and ability in a certain aspect, since they want to do Liu Yi, they must do their best, for the introduction of these Japanese women, there are standards for appearance and figure, people have spent a lot of gold and silver, the quality must be maintained, and the business must have a conscience. It is this kind of high standard and strict requirements, and later a certain degree of training, which makes the customer satisfaction extremely high, and it is more free to advertise for the business of Yanwang, and the whole Han is almost everyone knows! The price of those handmaidens was not affordable for ordinary people, and it also enhanced their curiosity, and once they talked about the affairs of the Japanese kingdom, they would be full of interest, and Yang Sima had experienced it even more popularly.
Don't look at Yang Can is a martial artist, but his eloquence is not bad, the training of military generals in Youzhou Martial Arts Academy has always been a well-rounded development, when it comes to literary affairs, this person is the top three among the students of that year, this island thing is vivid and interesting in his mouth, and all the soldiers, including Yan Xing, are full of interest, especially what makes them feel useful in their hearts is the lofty status of the Han people on the island, in recent years, there have been merchants from Liaodong who have gone to explore business opportunities on their own, Liu Yi did not stop this, Many times exploration and discovery are driven by commercial interests, with the continuous development of the economy, the level of shipbuilding in Yandi, especially in Liaodong, has improved rapidly!
Except for the slave trade, which belongs to the government monopoly, all other business opportunities are completely open to the merchants, and the Yan army permanent troops on the island will also protect the safety of these merchants, as long as a wolf chess is inserted on the carriage, the merchants can travel to most places on the island without any danger, not to mention the status of the Yan soldiers, that is, the leader of the most powerful Baimu family is extremely respectful and polite when facing Yang Sima, and he shouted one angel after another, Liu Yi felt ridiculous when he heard it, This angel is not merciful!
