Chapter 945: Delusion

After Han Tong finished speaking, he said resolutely: "I think this article must not be discussed!" ā€

Zhang Xuwen and Li Pingzhi looked at each other, and after half a sound, the two actually laughed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Everyone didn't know why, Li Pingzhi stopped laughing, shook his head and said, "It's okay, this one can be promised to them." But it's best to fight and make a reluctant appearance, so as to teach Mao Wenlong that we have suffered a big loss, and finally reluctantly agree to them...... Don't worry, don't talk about them on this ship, even in Guangzhou, Fujian, the province with the most shipbuilding craftsmen, it is difficult to imitate it. ā€

"Is that so?" Han Tong said with some worry: "Wouldn't it be too much?" ā€

"It's the gap of the times." Li Pingzhi said with emotion: "No wonder Mao Wenlong and Brother Han don't know that some of the gaps in technology can be bridged, but some are difficult to catch up in the short term." You don't know how much cost and effort we have paid in order to make up for the gap in shipbuilding, and Dongjiang Town wants to imitate it? It can only be said to be a joke! ā€

……

Dozens of craftsmen knelt on the ground, each of them looked trembling, and after kowtowing, they all lowered their heads, and no one dared to look up at Mao Wenlong.

These craftsmen are selected from the fleeing Liao people, originally all of them were craftsmen used by the generals of the guards or Liao Town, after the war, ordinary people and military households fled, of course, these craftsmen also ran out, after arriving in Dongjiang, due to the shortage of craftsmen, these craftsmen were used together, and most of the things they did were to build knives, guns, bows and arrows, repair the armor of soldiers and other things, of course, there could not be any workshop in Dongjiang Town, and the armor could not be self-made, only repaired.

Usually these craftsmen live in shantytowns, simply can't get to the core of the land, Dongjiang Town and other Ming military towns, the highest status is of course the generals, and then the generals' staff clerks and internal soldiers, then ordinary battalion soldiers and ordinary military households, and then craftsmen, if the normal social class is a pyramid, the number of people at the bottom of the tower should be the largest number of people and military households, but in the military town, the lowest level happens to be the smallest number of craftsmen, their living conditions are worse than military households, Here in Dongjiang, it is because of the tension of the craftsmen, these people have enough to eat, and the treatment is better than before, but these craftsmen never imagined that they would be summoned by Mao Wenlong one day.

"You are sheltered and supported by my Dongjiang River," Mao Wenlong did not speak, Mao Chenglu said sharply to this group of craftsmen: "You have to have a good effect, you must not be slack and slack, your director is just the skill in your hands, since you can make ordinary things, there have been man-made boats, presumably you can learn more and see more can also build a big ship, you can go to the big ship of Yusheng every day for more than ten days, even the inner cabin can also enter, everyone is good to learn, remember the skeleton of the ship, and then the commander allocated the application of things, you try to build the big ship of Yusheng in the port." ā€

Mao Chenglu looked at the trembling craftsmen below, his tone was softened, and he said: "As long as you do things solidly, the handsome will not hesitate to reward, from today onwards, each of you can receive a bucket of fine grain per month, and the shipbuilding is completed, and each person can be rewarded with five taels of silver." ā€

For the Dongjiang generals, this is quite a heavy reward, there has always been a food shortage in the control area of Phi Dao and Dongjiang Town, the imperial court only has a small amount of internal money to raise soldiers and build weapons, Dengzhou and Tianjin support grain and sundries, and do their own trading to subsidize a part, the three things add up to still a drop in the bucket, plus it is still not enough to camp in North Korea and blackmail North Korea, the Liao people are ten times more hungry and miserable than before fleeing, every winter is a serious challenge, in comparison, if these artisans can get the supply of refined grain, At least I can ensure that I and my family don't go hungry.

The craftsmen were really moved, and one by one they lay on the ground and kowtowed.

Mao Wenlong didn't care, this is a trivial matter after all, he has worked hard to compromise with Yusheng, let go of the interior of the cabin and send people from Dongjiang Town to learn, it is not difficult to imitate, all that is needed is iron nails, rigging, sails, wood, tung oil and other things, how many of these items are needed, it is not difficult to come to shipbuilding.

Not only Mao Chenglu, but also Chen Jisheng, Zhang Pan and other Mao Wenlong's henchmen and generals have booked a new ship, of course Mao Wenlong does not plan to give any of them, this ship is a sharp weapon, and he also has to find a way to cast cannons, compared to ships, Mao Wenlong feels that casting cannons is difficult, and the cost is extremely high, but since there is a ship, you have to find a way to match the cannons, once you build a few big ships at sea, and then you will re-negotiate with He Yusheng this time.

……

Wen Zhongfa and Bald Tou and others have already returned to the 12th Regiment station, because Dongjiang Town agreed to give way to the former defense area of Kuandian, its main force will either go to the area of Tieshan and Yizhou, or move to the area of Phoenix City, and the 12th Regiment will be responsible for the north of Kuandian to Niumaozhai and Abu Dali Gang and the place where the original Dong and Hubei are located, so that the defense area of the 12th Regiment has expanded several times, and the pressure has suddenly doubled.

Chen, Liangce, and their men had arrived a few days earlier and had boarded the Zhenwei Guard.

Because they knew that they would go to Taiwan and go south to thousands of miles of islands, in the eyes of the Tang people, Huguang was a miasma of smoke, and it was only in the Song Dynasty that Huguang was developed, and when it came to the Ming Dynasty, Fujian and Liangguang were still regarded as remote places, but the officials derogated it to Yungui. At this time, Taiwan is a standard foreign land, an island in the extreme South China Sea, not a poor and destitute Liao people who are willing to go thousands of miles to a foreign land, Chen and Liangce's family have been crying and crying, Chen and Liangce are also sour in their hearts, but they are just making their own choices, and they can only carry it by themselves, but fortunately, their lives are saved, and they may return to Liaodong in the future......

"Brother Chen doesn't have to be like this." Although he did not have the determination to save the lives of Chen and Liangce, Zhang Xuwen still admired this civil official in his heart, when Liaodong was in turmoil, everyone under the Jurchen soldiers was panicked, Chen and Liangce were able to resolutely go anyway at that time, and it still took courage and loyalty, seeing Chen and Liangce leaning on the side of the ship with a sad and uncontrollable appearance, Zhang Xuwen comforted him and said: "The situation in Taiwan is definitely not what my brother thinks, when you arrive, you will know, to be honest, it is much stronger than Liaodong." ā€

"I've heard of this before." Chen and Liangce are already dead people according to the agreement, and everyone is dead, so there is no official or unofficial, and titles such as the lower official and the official are exempted, and he said with a bitter face at the moment: "Your account has been operating over there for a long time, and I heard that the island has a warm climate, fertile land, and many wild things. Moreover, Liaodong is facing the threat of construction here, and he is a person who is willing to do something, and he doesn't want to mess around, and when he thinks of this, he feels very uncomfortable. ā€

Zhang Xuwen said with a straight face: "Since Brother Chen went to Taiwan with us, with Brother Chen's great talent, how can we ask you to mess around?" It is said that it is our inheritance, but in fact, the Spaniards and the Dutch are coveting that treasure island, and these Tessie brothers may not know that it is not under the construction of evil deeds. ā€

Zhang Xuwen told the previous massacres of the Spaniards against the Han in Luzon, Chen and Liangce were furious when they heard it, patted the side of the ship with both hands, and said: "Hate me The Ming Dynasty has been in decline recently, otherwise the emperor should launch a large army and completely exterminate those ugly people!" ā€

"I won't wait for the court to do this." Li Pingzhi said unceremoniously on the side: "Let's make a contract with Yusheng!" ā€

Chen and Liangce looked at the two young people seriously at this time...... One is deep and introverted, the other is full of sharpness, but there is no difference between the high fighting spirit and the confident atmosphere in the eyes of the two, and then look at the people around the two of them, almost all of them have the same look and temperament, Chen and Liangce suddenly realized that they were limited to Dongjiang and Denglai before, and they actually ignored such a strong force around them, an organization that can cultivate so many talents in front of them, and can control so many rare talents, what kind of strong character is that Zhang Han?

At this time, the craftsmen of Phi Dao came over again, attracting the attention of everyone in Heyusheng.

According to the agreement reached with Dongjiang Town, these craftsmen can come on board every day to watch all kinds of structural accessories during the ten days when the ship is docked, and even answer their questions.

Today was the last time the craftsmen went on board, and all of them tried their best to observe the structure of the ship, and a few days ago they had taken a small boat to the hull to look around, and some of them had built a boat, and they even jumped into the sea to the bottom of the boat for a long time.

In front of Heyusheng's eyes, this is a group of people called Hanako, ragged, withered, and thin, as if a strong wind can blow them down.

Before these people were asked to build ships, the craftsmen had only coarse grain to receive every month on Phi Island, and they could barely satisfy themselves with wild vegetables into porridge. Recently, refined food has been issued, but most of the craftsmen need their families to feed, and it is still impossible to eat with their stomachs open, but they can eat more and better than before.

After just ten days of "good life", these craftsmen actually have flesh and blood on their faces, which is indeed much stronger than the skeleton-like appearance before.

"Little people, thank you adults for taking care of you lately."

After a while, when the big ship was ready to anchor and raise its sails, a craftsman leader led people to Li Pingzhi and Zhang Xuwen, and everyone knelt down and kowtowed to thank them.

Zhang Xuwen looked at these people, and he was really a little unbearable in his heart, he said: "I'm afraid that you won't be able to build this boat, if Mao Shuai retreats you, you can come to Heyusheng's side, and we will definitely accept it." ā€

These craftsmen originally knew very well in their hearts, not to mention that they were told to watch for ten days, even if they looked at another hundred days, it would be in vain, and it was impossible to make it.

The construction method of this ship is completely different from that of Chinese ships, and the materials and workmanship are very complex and exquisite...... He Yusheng has so many excellent technicians plus Russians, it took two months to repair this ship, and it took nearly two years for the British man-made Sea Monarch, how can a Western-style sail battleship be so easy to build, this ship is smaller, the quality of craftsmanship is the same as that of a big ship, a group of ordinary craftsmen, only a few of them are craftsmen in southern Liaoning, who have built official boats and fishing boats, such a level wants to build a Galen ship with more than ten days of observation and study, Mao Wenlong and other high-level officials of the Dongjiang River really dare to think.
