On this day, Li Su, accompanied by Li Zhi, visited the famous Qinhuai River, a famous scenic spot in Jinling.

It was late autumn, and Li Su stood on the bow of the cruise ship, staring at the still verdant trees on both sides. I saw that the pavilions and pavilions hidden among the trees were dilapidated but not broken, and they were slightly desolate.

In 589, the Sui destroyed Chen, and the Six Dynasties period ended. Jinling ended its more than 320-year history as the capital. In order to prevent the resurgence of the kingly Nanjing, the rulers of the two dynasties severely suppressed and cracked down on Nanjing, and Jinling's status plummeted.

The Qinhuai River, known as "China's first historical and cultural river", is very deserted.

"The wild grass and flowers by the Vermilion Bird Bridge, the sunset at the mouth of Wuyi Alley. In the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people. Li Su was very emotional and said casually.

Li Zhi did not study much poetry and had no ideas. Cheng Chumo and the others are even more swordsmen.

Wang Xuance is a lover of poetry, he once heard the legend of His Royal Highness the Prince's six-step poem, looking at the gloomy scenery in front of him, thinking of the prosperity of Jinling in the past, and feeling that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really too talented. I couldn't help but admire it in my heart.

Wu Cong is different from Cai Sha, her memory is excellent, and she can remember such verses as long as she repeats them again.

The princesses had an agreement: no matter who followed Li Su out, he would record his poems, and in addition to keeping them for thoughts, compile them into a collection of poems and publish them, which would immediately become popular in the government and the opposition, and the wealth would be rolling.

Wu Cong was not satisfied, she said: "Big brother, can you make another poem, sisters are waiting to appreciate it." ”

For the opportunity to show his face in front of this kind of person, Li Xuan was happy to show off, he paced at the bow of the boat, Wang Xuance quietly counted on the side, and sure enough, after six steps, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince opened his mouth and said:

"The shadow of Jin Se is slightly open, and the lanterns are bright and bright and linger at night.

A pool of spring water is rouge-colored, flowing into the dream of the previous dynasty. ”

The old immortal Sun Simiao was also greatly impressed by the talent of His Royal Highness the Prince.

He stroked his long hair and said: "The old man has experienced a hundred years of changes in the world and has been to Jinling three times. The prosperity of Jinling in the past is still in front of us, and today's depression is indeed emotional. ”

After Wu Cong recited Li Su's poems, he suddenly burst into tears.

It turned out that Wu Cong's father, Wu Shitong, was the governor of Yangzhou, and she grew up in Jinling City from the age of 4 to 10. Samurai Tong loves her very much, but things are not people, and Samurai Tong has been dead for many years.

Seeing that Wu Cong was sad, Li Su thoughtfully took out a handkerchief, handed it to her and said, "Cong'er, take the time to go to your old house to have a look." ”

Li Su said to Li Zhi: "Ninth brother, before coming to Yangzhou this time, my father appointed you as the governor of Yangzhou, do you know what it means?" ”

Li Zhi asked: "Sixth brother, the younger brother is in charge of the Naval Research Institute, and it is a little difficult. ”

Li Su said: "You are the king of Yangzhou, and it is right to manage Yangzhou's affairs, which is helpful for you to develop the navy in Yangzhou."

Jinling has good geographical and climatic conditions, profound cultural heritage, outstanding people, rich products and convenient transportation. You should make full use of these favorable conditions to vigorously develop the economy and restore Jinling's former prosperity.

The Qinhuai River should also be restored to its former glory.

Before I came, Li Junwang decided to invest in Qinhuai River and build Jinling Entertainment City, hoping that this move would give Qinhuai River a good start to its prosperity. ”

Li Zhi said: "Sixth brother, you are in Jinling this time, and you will give more guidance on how to develop Jinling's economy." ”

Just then, a yacht came from the opposite side. However, the presence of this yacht here is really a big sight.

This first yacht is not a yacht that browses the scenery as it is now called, but a warship of a kind of naval army.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the navy was huge in scale and its equipment was also very advanced. In order to meet the needs of operations, the ships equipped by the navy in the early Tang Dynasty were according to their uses

There are several types. According to Du You's "General Dictionary Soldiers Thirteen Levels and Water Warfare Equipment Attached", there were six types of military ships at that time: Lou

Boats, ships, fighting ships, boats, yachts, and sea falcons.

This type of yacht is a type of transport boat with 12 paddlers and one helmsman on it. It is mainly used for communication between warships and ships.

Standing on the bow of the yacht is Liu Renliang. This guy grew up by the river since he was a child, and he has a good water nature. After he arrived at the water army, he was like a fish in water.

He was in a good mood, soaked in the navy all day long, and quickly became familiar with the various warships of the navy and the corresponding water combat tactics.

He said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, today in Yangzhou Shipyard, there is a building ship launched, please Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince and all the adults, go to cut the ribbon and watch." ”

For the scenery of the Qinhuai River, Li Su and the others were no longer interested, so they followed Liu Renliang and sailed towards the naval shipyard.

The building ship was the most important combat ship in the naval equipment of the Tang Dynasty, and it was fully equipped with weapons. The building boat starts five floors, more than 100 feet high, and the left and right front and rear six beat rods, 50 feet high.

The ship has women's walls, battle grids, banners, crossbow windows, spear holes, stone throwers, bed crossbows, etc., which can accommodate 800 warriors.

After watching the launching ceremony of the ship, Li Zhi said to Cheng Chumo, Liu Renliang and others who were full of excitement: "This kind of warship is not advanced enough, you all come and take a look at this." ”

He ordered someone to fetch the drawings of the sail battleship and said, "This is the drawing drawn by the prince's brother, you all have to take a look." ”

Huang Qi said: "Oh, this kind of battleship is too beautiful. ”

Cheng Chumo said: "It's so big, so many cannons, this is too powerful." ”

Everyone was excited.

Battleships in the Age of Sail refer to armed ships that served as the main force of operations at sea from the 17th century onwards. Before 1840, sail warships were built almost entirely of wood, sometimes clad in copper below the waterline. The power is the sail, the weapon is the breech-loading gun, which fires round projectiles for destroying the hull, as well as anti-personnel shotguns and chain shells for destroying sails.

Because it was powered by wind power at that time, and the powerful range of a single ship's guns was not enough to cause effective damage to an enemy ship, the battle line (all combat warships lined up in a line) was used to fight, so it was a standard combat method, so the cloud sail battleship.

The sail battleship was divided into six classes, the largest of which was a first-class battleship, with three gun decks, 106 and 122 guns, a capacity of more than 1,000 people, and a displacement of 3,500 tons.

In the following days, Li Su and others spent most of their time at the Naval Research Institute.

The men were busy all day, and Wu Cong and Yang Cheng were bored. On this day, Wu Cong wanted to go back to the place where he lived as a child. Yangcheng also has to accompany her.

Duhe was not interested in the affairs of the navy, so he accompanied them.

Walking on the streets of Jinling, near the Confucian Temple (called Confucius Temple after the expansion of the Song Dynasty), it is one of the most prosperous areas of Jinling City. The snacks here are famous and quickly arouse everyone's interest.
