With the support of so many local businessmen, Qin Hao devoted himself to formal work almost the same day he arrived in Yangzhou.

Of course, Qin Hao is actually putting on a show, the main technical guidance is done by Qin Xiaohao, the San Trinidad is almost the pinnacle of wooden ships before the Industrial Revolution, with a total of four decks, 61 meters long, 16 meters wide, and a displacement of nearly five tons, such a behemoth, even if he builds a slightly smaller one, the workload is still very large, but the speed of construction is fast.

It took four years for Spain to design such a ship from design to launch, and of course, the design itself took more than a year, and the manpower and material resources were not on the same level.

But the speed of Datang is really a little terrifying, from Qin Hao to Yangzhou, to the launch of the big ship, it only took four months in total! Workers and craftsmen all eat and live on the construction site, working in two shifts during the day, almost without any organization and mobilization work, Qin Hao, the so-called leader, is more like a logistics team leader, and his daily work is to try to care about the physical condition of every craftsman, and not let them die suddenly on the construction site.

The people's hearts are available.

Of course, this is also inseparable from Datang's abundant funds now.

In general, in the current Tang Dynasty, everyone has a dream, in the more than ten years since Li Shimin came to power, the people's lives have indeed improved by leaps and bounds, and the slightly older people in China have also experienced the chaos in the world at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and the younger ones have begun to dislike the meat too fat.

Such a big contrast, so that the people of the world have almost 100% loyalty to the Tang Dynasty, and the people are willing to fight and sacrifice for such a court.

The people of the whole world are holding their breath, let the whole country advance and retreat together, such a court is impossible to fail, even if it fails, it will use this breath to rise again.

In such a breath, the entire Datang is almost crazy, from Chang'an all the way to the west, more people are donating everything for this battle, Datang does not limit private weapons, so the three or three Xiangyong, with weapons spontaneously went to the battlefield, can not be driven away, with a small cart to ensure the logistics supply of the army, and such enthusiasm has driven the enthusiasm of the soldiers to serve the country, and they will not retreat.

When I opened the newspaper, it was full of stories about the War in the Western Regions, and one of them had something to do with him, the fifteen-year-old general Xue Li, who led 800 Eastern Turkic cavalry to the battlefield for more than 20 miles, and made the first contribution in this battle.

This made Qin Hao sigh that time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the little children of the year have grown up and can be on their own.

After all, the main force of the Anxi Protectorate led by Hou Junji was still a party member, and the Western Turks were quite proud after two small victories, but when the Eastern Turkic cavalry led by Li Tao and Ashinadur arrived at the battlefield, they couldn't laugh a little.

It's hard to imagine that these Eastern Turks were the sworn enemies of the Tang Dynasty ten years ago, and now they are all loyal to the country, and they are really fighting with you.

This is also thanks to Li Shimin's policy of integrating Hu and Han, the Eastern Turks have been so close to the Hexi Corridor in recent years, and they have not eaten the dividends of the Silk Road.

In these days, Bitmo was so happy when he was under Jieli before, and now is the time when Datang needs them the most, how can they not serve their fate, and what makes them most angry is that who is not good at making trouble this time, but it is the special Western Turks.

If you don't fight fiercely, how can you prove to Datang that we are not the same family as you? Don't say anything about ethnic compatriots, the grassland people don't have this concept at all, because they are all called Turkic characters, and many Han people have misunderstood us, and those uneducated rural fools still think that we have rebelled.

It was Pei Xingjian's side of the sea, the fight was tepid, Da Shi wanted to fight with Datang this time, such a huge fleet, actually spent most of the time in Southeast Asia, and pounced on Datang's side several times, once killed near Quanzhou, fortunately Pei Xingjian arrived in time, with the help of the terrain and fortifications, especially the local soldiers in Quanzhou, they were beaten away.

When has Datang ever been bullied at the door of his house like this? Especially when the west side is fighting so vigorously, if he can't make a beautiful counterattack, with Pei Xingjian's qualifications, this one thing alone is enough to push him to the end.

Naturally, he was in a hurry, and he wrote eight letters asking for help in a month, and if he didn't build a new ship, he would almost be unable to withstand it.

Finally, the artillery brought from the Beijing division also arrived.

Spain's San Trinidad has 140 guns, once it fires, it can smash the enemy ship alive, but Datang's artillery technology is not yet mature, and his cannon is still made of copper, which is relatively large and heavy, which is also the reason why the Galen can't be equipped with guns, so when the ship finally goes to sea, the four decks plus one piece are only 'pitiful' forty guns.

On the day of going to sea, Qin Hao stood on the top deck excitedly, this is a symbol of the national strength of the Tang Dynasty, a symbol of the unity of the Tang army and the people, he can't wait to drive this ship to bully people, with this thing, even if he doesn't know how to fight at all, he is sure to cross the seas.

However, he eventually resisted his impulse and simply ordered a boat to be sent to him. Don't go to the battlefield, don't hold the power of the army, this is his bottom line, and Pei Xingjian is also his own person, this is his victory.

…………

On the day the boat was sent away, Qin Hao called Qin Xiaohao to the study.

"Dad, look for me."

"Well, this time the Datang was built so quickly, thanks to you."

"What are we talking about here, isn't the matter of Datang also our family's business, our family's foundation is in the Qing Gang, and the foundation of the Qing Gang is in the sea, if we can't win this battle, our family will be over in the future."

"Yes, you have brains, so let me ask you, what should our father and son do next."

"Huh? What does it mean? After the ship is finished, it is natural to return to Beijing. ”

"Alas, with your brain, you still want to be Sima Zhao? Son, you're a genius in science, but you're really not a political player, listen to my advice, be honest, don't do so much useless. ”

"What do you mean, Dad..."

"I can't go back to the capital, I want to recuperate in Yangzhou, I will build such a big ship in four months, I have already worked hard, tired into the eight calves of the king, I must stay in Yangzhou to recuperate, until His Majesty returns to Beijing after the victory I can be better, understand?" If you don't understand, go back and think, if you don't understand, you will obediently listen to me in the future, don't do things, understand? ”

"Yes." ()
