Two months have passed in a blink of an eye, and since coming to Jiangnan, Chen Fei feels that his life has been much more comfortable. The mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River raise people, this is really not blowing, just in the half a year that he lived in Yangzhou, Chen Fei felt that his skin was much whiter.

Except for the unpleasant cold winters here, everything else is fine. And you don't have to go to work every day here, you can go to see the shipyard work once in a while.

The new shipyard was built a month ago, but the construction of the new shipyard has not yet begun, because the materials used for the oversized treasure ship are very exaggerated, and it will take a lot of time to collect raw materials, and it is expected that the materials will arrive next spring, and the construction will officially begin.

The old shipyard has also made a lot of achievements here in two months, and now there are six brand-new warships docked on the shore of the inner lake, and all six ships have been tested by the big waves in the river, and the trial voyage is very perfect, and they can sail into the sea. And now there are several more ships in the dock being manufactured, and I believe that by the beginning of spring next year, a small fleet can be formed.

Not to mention anything else, these warships are definitely giants in China, and if they fight on the water, they will definitely be very good! There is no pressure to crush without brains, not to mention a perverted weapon like a cannon. It's just a hanging!

The most domineering thing is that the key parts of these ships are all iron-cladned! This is a ship that you can't destroy without some special means. As far as Chen Fei knows, there is no weapon in the world that can effectively hit this kind of ship, let alone now, even in a few hundred years. Unless burned with fire.

But....... It is estimated that the fireship was bombarded by a dense cannons before it could get close. Even if you are really hit by a fireship...... That's also painless. A couple of small fireships simply could not set such a large ship on fire. What's more, with the protection of iron sheets, there is no solution.

Chen Fei was very satisfied with several warships, and when he had nothing to do, he went to the warship to wander around, and crooked the invincible scene of taking the fleet to sea.

After another half a month, he received a letter and a will from Chang'an. The letter is Li Zhi's personal grievance letter, which can be ignored for the time being, as for the will....... That's good news.

Li Zhi is very powerful, the sailors originally stationed in Jingzhou, more than 10,000 people, all of them were assigned to the ocean-going team, as for the vacant soldiers, Chen Fei could choose people with good water skills in the local garrison to enlist. However, the number of people selected should not exceed 5,000, and the total number of people before and after is 15,000.

Fifteen thousand....... Although it is a little less, it is better than nothing, and we can find a way to slowly expand the recruitment in the future, at least for now, these people are enough. Moreover, 10,000 of them were originally sailors, familiar with water operations, manipulating warships, etc., which saved him a lot of trouble and directly picked up ready-made. As long as you are slightly familiar with the operation of the warship, you can quickly get used to it.

As for the letter sent by Li Zhi, it was nothing more than complaining to Chen Fei, and he had quarreled with which minister he had recently because of something and how he didn't love it. Chen Fei understood that the contradictions between the monarchs and ministers had become deeper and deeper, and it was obvious that Li Zhi had been quite dissatisfied with these ministers, and the words in the letter were full of complaints. It can also be seen from the side how far Li Zhi was bullied by these ministers.

A young emperor has just ascended the throne, and it is full of enthusiasm, when he is ready to make some achievements, there is a group of ministers around you to pour cold water on you every day, what is it like? Once or twice can really make people sober, but every day like this has to make people angry.

Even Li Shimin can't stand so many ministers who disagree with him every day, let alone Li Zhi?

At the end of the letter, Li Zhi expressed his infinite yearning for Chen Fei's free life now, and wondered when he would come to Jiangnan to play with him and experience the poetry of Jiangnan.

"Hey! It doesn't matter if you come to Jiangnan, I just hope that I don't want to bring a group of old stubborns. Chen Fei shook his head and put away the letterhead. The letter could be written again at home, and what he had to do now was to arrange the food and lodging of the upcoming sailors, as well as the recruitment of five thousand new soldiers. I have to say that these bullshit things are enough for him to be busy for a while.

Half a month later, the sailors originally stationed in Jingzhou took a small boat along the Yangtze River to arrive at the Yangzhou port. The "small ship" here is relative to the newly built ship. In fact, one of their ships can carry more than 50 people, as well as military rations and weapons, which is not small in ordinary terms. But when they saw the newly built ships in the shipyard, their eyes lit up.

In their words: "After so many years of being a sailor, I finally saw a few decent warships!" ”

When they learned that it was only the smallest ship built, they were amazed! Rao is that they deal with boats on the water every day, and they can't help but be dumbfounded.

Very good! Chen Fei just likes their appearance that he has never seen the world. When this group of soldiers learned that there were bigger and more awesome warships, and that they were going to control these warships to conquer the seas in the future, they were completely boiling!

The sailors of the Tang Dynasty have always been in a very awkward position. Since the historical period of the Three Kingdoms, there have been few large-scale water battles like the "Battle of Red Cliffs", and most of the battles were fought on the land plains.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Datang has experienced countless battles inside and out, both large and small, inside and out, whether it is spearmen, cavalry, heavy armor, or even the current firearms battalion, etc., all of them are extremely beautiful, and they have made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, except for the sailors. Because they could not find their value except to requisition food before the war.

The northern grasslands, the deserts of the Western Regions, the Goguryeo Peninsula, what is the use of conquering the sailors of these countries? It's hard to even transport grain and grass, let alone fight, don't even think about it!

So the sailor has been sitting on the cold bench in Jingzhou, except for the occasional need to mobilize grain and grass to use them, the rest of the time they are transparent existence. And their size is shrinking. Originally, there were more than 30,000 soldiers of the Naval Division, but now there are only a little more than 10,000 people, and every year is not as good as a year.

Now, when someone suddenly gives you a blueprint that is unimaginably big, and tells you that you can wave on it at will, what will it be like in your heart? Crying with joy is a bit exaggerated, but looking up to the sky and howling is a must.

Over the years, being belittled, ridiculed, and too much depression by others can finally be swept away today!

From today onwards, they will face the sea and spring will be in full bloom.

From today onwards, they will ride the wind and waves and be invincible! ()
