Jiang Fenglie and Ouyang Guanhou were all prepared, and they were seated on a 2,000-stone Fuchuan-class warship. Except that it is slightly larger than the Chen Yizuo ship captured by Zhao Lie, its pattern is similar. There are women's wall battle grids, tree flags around the side, open crossbow windows and spear holes, feel leather to resist fire, and equipped with long-range weapons: artillery carts and bed crossbows.

The ship's shipwrights and Jiang's white-clothed guards numbered as many as 100 people, all of whom were fully armed, and even the men had kitchen knives tucked into their waists.

After the prime minister was safely sent to his destination, the warship was given to Brother Zhao. I, Jiang, are true to my word and never break my word. Jiang Fenglie's words were full of strong pride.

Since it was his own ship, Zhao Lie naturally had to pay attention.

Zhao Lie paid special attention to the so-called artillery cart, and Shi Yang explained in detail on the side. The so-called "cannon car" is actually a stone thrower, the Song Dynasty used a manpower stone thrower, according to the power of the different called "seven guns", "five guns", "double guns". Generally, warships are equipped with double-tip cannons, operated by ten people, and use human ropes to throw stone projectiles.

Zhao Lie was disappointed, this thing didn't even apply the most basic mechanical force, it was all based on manpower, and it was too primitive. It seems that in the future, if you want to cross the seas, the standard configuration of warships: artillery, must be made.

Shi Yang pointed to the hollow piers on the two sides and said: "The clapstick was originally placed here, but now it has been taken, presumably to increase the speed." Do you want to ask them to put it back in the future? ”

Zhao Lie shook his head, and he was excited. In his eyes, these so-called long-range and short-range weapons are all scum in front of artillery. Now he doesn't want to install anything but artillery.

If the only thing Zhao Hunt wants at the moment, I'm afraid it is only gunpowder. After learning of Zhao Lie's request, Jiang Fenglie happily agreed to three barrels of gunpowder on the ship, totaling 800 catties, and gave them to Zhao Hunt.

After Zhao Lie got the gunpowder, he handed it over to the Ding family sisters and brothers, and asked the two sisters and brothers to screen, purify, and prepare qualified black powder according to the methods they taught, and finally wet it and seal it for later use. As for making bullets, I'll have to wait until I get back.

Ouyang Guanhou did not disappoint Zhao Lie, he brought the news he had inquired about: "Meng Tartar Baihu Bagen is in Li Heng's army. Li Hengjun is mostly a spying Ma Chijun, there are not many Mongolian people, and there are even fewer Mongolian households, and there happens to be one named Ba Gen, I don't know if Brother Zhao is looking for someone. ”

Zhao Lie deliberately asked the sister and brother to be present to listen to the news together. To his surprise, although the sister and brother had a look of hatred, they didn't say anything special, let alone shout for revenge. Zhao Lie secretly wondered, what is the idea of this sister and brother? Well, I've been waiting for so long, and I'm not in a hurry, wait for Wen Tianxiang to arrive safely, and then discuss it with my sister and brother after I return.

On the second day of the first month of April, the sky is wide and the sea is flat, and the sail is set sail.

Before leaving, Zhao Lie made the following arrangements: the Ding family sisters and brothers temporarily took the position of instructors and continued to train the junior tactical team. After completing the predetermined training plan, the target can be shot with live ammunition. Shi Yangliu continued to train the sea team. Wang Ping'an assisted in the management of the boatmen and Zhuang Ding. Before Zhao Hunt came back, Shi Yang was in charge of all the things in the mountain.

"The wide cliff is not far away, the fast is ten days, the slow is half a month, and I will return. Everyone is good at looking after the family, and when we come back, we will have two warships. Through inquiry, Zhao Lie figured out the specific location of Guangya, which turned out to be in the Yangjiang area of Guangdong in later generations. From Jiangmen to Yangjiang, with the speed of sailboats, the slowest three or four days have also arrived, and ten days and a half months back and forth are more than enough.

As for the protection of Wen Tianxiang, relying only on Zhao Lie, Ma Nanchun and novice Jueyuan, the firepower is obviously thin. Therefore, Zhao Lie temporarily added two more people to his tactical team: Jiang Fenglie and Ouyang Guanhou.

Although these two people didn't say much, how could Zhao Lie not see their strong desire for firearms.

If Jiang Fenglie had equated the musket with a hidden weapon earlier, after receiving Yang Zheng's detailed report, he was completely shocked by the amazing power of this weapon. He asked himself that with the current warship, fifty white-clothed guards and dozens of shipwrights, if it fought against Chen Yi's three warships and two hundred pirates, there was no chance of winning. However, with only eight people, they not only won the battle, but also wiped out all the pirates.

"Such an astonishing record, all of them are the power of muskets, and this thing should be the nemesis of the Mongolian people's strong bow and strong horse." This is the final highlight of Yang Zheng's report.

Jiang Fenglie now understands why Zhao Lie almost turned his face with himself and refused to show this weapon at the beginning, and if he were himself, he would do the same. Therefore, no matter how hot his eyes were, he didn't mention the topic of firearms again. But he didn't mention it, Zhao Lie generously provided two weapons: an imitation black star and an imitation revolver.

"Let's talk about it first, these two guns are not for the two, but for the time being, and everything is for the safety of the prime minister. I'll take it back when I come back, how? ”

Can Jiang Fenglie and Ouyang Guanhou still say no? Treasure and treasure it, and as soon as you turn around, you will study and ponder it. Zhao Lie is not afraid of others studying his own weapons, even if he can figure out the principle of each component thoroughly, don't think about making a part without a machine.

In order to avoid the search of the Yuan army, the ships sailed in the direction of the deep sea as much as possible, which would extend the range, but it was still worth it for safety.

During the voyage for several days, to Zhao Lie's surprise, the Prime Minister of the Great Song Dynasty seemed to be very interested in him, and kept asking about his origins. Although I respect this loyal minister for the ages, it can only be vague when it comes to privacy.

Maybe it was because they were rewarded for their caution, or maybe it was because the Yuan army patrol ship did not reach the deep sea, and sailed for five days in a row without any danger or danger. An escort trip is like going out to sea.

When there is nothing to do, Wen Tianxiang, Zhao Lie, Ma Nanchun, Jiang Fenglie and others often sit in the cabin, talking about the world's situation, the history of the Great Song Dynasty, the legacy of the previous dynasty and so on. Most of the time, it was Wen Tianxiang who said, Ma Nanchun added, Jiang Fenglie echoed from time to time, and sometimes he could also interject. Only Zhao Lie never spoke, and he was the only one present, and it was strange that Wen Tianxiang would invite him to be an audience every time.

One day, when it came to the famous ministers of the anti-Yuan Dynasty in this dynasty, from Li Tingzhi, the famous marshal of the Huai Army, to Wang Jian, Zhang Yu, and Wang Li in Diaoyu City; From the Jiang clan to the folk righteousness, from the Song people to the She people, such as Chen Hangyan and Mrs. Xu. Finally, I also talk about the royal family.

Unlike the weak and incompetent royal clansmen when the Northern Song Dynasty destroyed the country, a large number of royal clansmen who bravely resisted the Yuan Dynasty emerged in the late Southern Song Dynasty, among which there were not royal nobles.

When Wen Tianxiang talked about the defeat of the empty pit, Zhao Shisheng, the deputy envoy of the clan and Jiangxi who died to cover himself, burst into tears.

Ma Nanchun said that in the last year, the pacification envoy of Qiongzhou, the clan Zhao and Luoli rejected the Yuan general Ali Hague, so that the Yuan army could not land on the island for several months, and was finally defeated and killed by the captured car, sighing endlessly.

Jiang Fenglie thought about Zhao Liangchun, Zhi'an Jizhou, who committed suicide and martyrdom twice.

So far, I think of Zhonglie, I am full of tears, and I can't help it for a while.

At the end, Wen Tianxiang angrily attacked the case: "In terms of loyalty and righteousness, an heir of this dynasty can be described as full of loyalty, and no one can stand out." ”

Ma Nanchun and Jiang Fenglie glanced at each other and said in unison: "King Xiu!" ”

Wen Tianxiang patted the case and said: "It is the door of King Xiu." The gesture paused, intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Zhao Lie, who listened attentively, and his face was not abnormal.

Wen Tianxiang seemed to be immersed in memories: "The descendant of King Taizu of Xiu was also a descendant of King Taizu, in the second year of Deyou (1276), he served as an envoy to the southeast Zhulu, and was ordered to go north to Ruian Mansion (now Wenzhou City) to resist the Yuan. Shi Yu also went to Nanjianzhou (now Nanping, Fujian) to gather troops to resist the Yuan, and had a few days with King Xiu in Fuzhou to talk about state affairs. I never thought that after this parting, it would become an eternal decision......"

Ma Nanchun continued: "At that time, Dong Wenbing, the marshal of the Yuan army, trapped Chuzhou (Lishui) with tens of thousands of elite soldiers and approached Ruian. King Xiu gathered 8,000 scattered soldiers and swore to defend the city to the death. There is a small colonel Li Xiong, who betrayed the country and defected to the enemy, and opened the city gate at night to accept the Yuan soldiers. King Xiu with his brother and worried, nephew Meng Bei led the crowd to fight in the streets, with eight guns and three arrows in his body, and the blood flowed like a note to fight bravely duel, only to die with Sheji, in order to see the first emperor, and finally because of his strength was executed. At the same time, Li Shiqi, the observer of Rui'an, Zhao Youxi, the younger brother of the king of Xiu, Zhao Mengbei, Zhao Youbei, the supervising army, Lin Wen, and thousands of soldiers surrendered on their knees, and they all died heroically. ”

Jiang Fenglie suddenly said: "It is rumored that when the execution was carried out to Zhao Mengbei, the nephew of King Xiu and the sixteenth year, there was a sudden storm, and the executioner hurriedly executed the execution. The next day, the wind and rain stopped, and the remains of all the loyal martyrs were there, but Meng Bei was not seen......"

Ma Nanchun smiled bitterly and sighed: "The people can't bear to be loyal and good, so there are often words of gods and ghosts, and miracles are attached to it......"

The heroic deeds of Xiuwang Zhao and Mao, Wang Brother Zhao and Xian, and Zi Zhao Mengbei once shook the government and the opposition, and everyone at the time knew about it. One person starts, and the rest of the people can tell the story.

Zhao Lie may be an exception, he really doesn't know, he can only listen silently, and coldly stretch out a hand in front of his eyes: "Zhao Yishi, the jade pendant on his chest is convenient to see." ”

Of course, there was nothing inconvenient, Zhao Lie took off the jade pendant and presented it to Wen Tianxiang.

Wen Tianxiang looked at it carefully for a while, his fingers lightly wiped the small cracks on the jade pendant, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a smile, and then handed it back to Zhao Hunt - Zhao Hunt noticed that Wen Tianxiang was lightly supported by his hands and sleeves, and his demeanor was actually a little respectful.

Zhao Lie's heart moved, and he was about to speak.

Ouyang Guanhou suddenly heard a warning voice outside the cabin: "There is a ship ahead, everyone prepare." ”
