Chapter 123: Return to Lujiang

After Yuan Yao came to Lujiang, Liu Xun behaved very attentively, it is estimated that he had been waiting for a long time, Yuan Yao did not embarrass him, and directly returned the Taishou seal, and Liu Xun, who was holding the official seal, showed a relieved look.

Yuan Yao then went to Shuizhai to prepare to recover the clones, as well as to visit the two vassals he had left here, one of whom was Sun Lu, who had just been appointed to the Arsenal Order.

Sun Lu had been building ships for Yuan Yao before, so it was most suitable to stay in the Lujiang Dockyard.

The shipbuilding system of Lujiang has been integrated by Yuan Yao in the past few months, and a large number of carpenters are already familiar with the processing of ship materials, and the supply of wood is also very smooth, so there is no need to go to another place to toss again.

The three thousand carpenters recruited by Yuan Yao to help the clones were all left behind by Liu Xun and Sun Lu.

Liu Xun took the catalogue of the building ship handed over to him by Yuan Yao and prepared to build the building ship, the people of the Han Dynasty had an inseparable attachment to the monster of the building ship, especially after the clone had successfully built one, Liu Xun was also full of confidence in his own construction;

Sun Lu expanded the construction scale of the Ship-class catapult battleship, which was originally born in his hands, so there was no problem at all for him to build it.

After Yuan Yao withdrew the clones from the shipbuilding industry, Sun Lu would take over the tasks left by the clones. Not only that, but he also built a fighter-class catapult battle experimental ship, which even clones can't do.

This test ship is based on the two hulls of the fighting ship and the three-oared warship, and the three-row oars structure of the three-oars have been learned, and the number of oarsmen has been increased, so the theoretical speed of this ship may be faster than that of the warp-class catapult battleships that are known for their speed.

However, because the battleship had to be equipped with a ballista, the hull had to be increased to a width that could accommodate the ballista, so the overall was not as slender as the three-oared warship, but it was still much slimmer than the fighting ship, but it was obvious that such a structure was certainly not as fast as the original three-oared warship in terms of speed.

The superstructure is to learn that the fighting ship can be equipped with a room to carry ballistas, so that it can have a certain long-range defense capability.

Originally, I wanted to copy the bucket ship to build two layers of upper decks and install more ballistas, but I was afraid that the center of gravity would be too high and cause excessive turbulence, which would reduce the hit rate of the ballistas.

However, even on the first deck, because the hull was twice as large as the stern-class catapult battleship, the number of ballistae on board was also doubled, reaching ten ballistas per port; The number of twenty ballistas on both sides.

When Yuan Yao came to the dock, the test ship was under the personal auspices of Sun Lu, and the bilge was almost completed, and it was planned that it would be ready for two or three months to launch the experiment.

Sun Lu was originally a pure cloth cloth who didn't even have a table word, if he hadn't met Yuan Yao, he could only be a small dock owner in his life, and he didn't even have the ability to expand his business, because he couldn't keep the property he could have.

Today's Sun Lu not only has an official body, but also can be promoted without being dragged down by his life experience, and in such a short period of time, this is something he never thought of before, so it is really difficult to talk about his life experience, and when he met a nobleman, the whole family followed the chicken dog to heaven.

The most important point is that he may not have realized that the name Sun Lu may be remembered in history because of the battleship, a cross-era weapon.

This has to make people sigh that their situation is very fortunate, which is enough to make many people in later generations envious, jealous and hateful.

……

Another person Yuan Yao came to visit was his own son Yuan Hong, Yuan Zishan.

This person was originally a member of the Xuanjia personal guard, because Mao Sui recommended himself to be promoted by Yuan Yao to the commander, after Yuan Yao left the battleship, he was appointed as the captain of the only battleship, and his official position was also promoted to military marquis.

When Yuan Yao was training battleship sailors, he once summarized the battleship operation skills according to the memories of later generations, and recorded them in a book, teaching them to these sailors and his own guards, and Yuan Hong was the best one to learn.

So when Yuan Yao crossed the river, he asked Yuan Hong to lead a team of Xuanjia guards who had been trained by battleships to stay in Lujiang, and use the existing battleships and ballistas on the Shuizhai batteries to specially train a professional battleship and naval army of a school to prepare for receiving the warship catapult battleships that had just been built at that time, and promised that if he trained well, he would appoint him as the captain of the naval army of this school.

At this time, Yuan Yao returned to Lujiang again, and Yuan Hong had successfully received 20 battleships and began formal battle line training.

Yuan Yao was very satisfied after watching the training, and felt that it was much smoother than when he was training himself, and almost didn't appoint Yuan Hong as a lieutenant on the spot, but in the end he held back and waited until he really completed the training.

In addition to visiting Sun Lu and Yuan Hong, Yuan Yao also had to explain the problem of Liu Xun's navy, because the navy warships that Yuan Yao had built and robbed were now in Liu Xun's hands.

The establishment of the naval army of General Yuan Shuzuo's mansion was assigned to Lujiang at the beginning, and Yuan Yao also used the money and resources of Lujiang when he built the ship, so nominally the naval army belonged to Liu Xun.

Yuan Yao originally wanted to apply to Yuan Shu to transfer the naval army to his own command, but because he wanted to attack the counties in Jiangdong, he really couldn't spare troops to control so many warships, and the troops of Lujiang were just idle now, and Yuan Yao still retained the right to dispatch the Lujiang army, so in the end, he couldn't bear to accept the military power of the naval army for the time being, and waited until the entire Jiangdong was done and the troops were withdrawn.

However, the naval army of the battleship formation is still in Yuan Yao's hands, because Liu Xun is afraid that he will not play well with this thing, and the warship masters of this formation are all Yuan Yao's Xuanjia personal guards, which is almost an extension of Yuan Yao's personal soldiers, so Liu Xun also knows each other and doesn't say anything, and also pays money and food to help raise it.

Yuan Yao wanted to explain to Liu Xun mainly about the newly built ten three-oared warships, the most important thing in this east is speed and collision, if he used it as a fighting ship to play broadside warfare, then he didn't know how to die, and it had to be used as a cavalry in the navy to be the standard tactic.

In fact, the most important thing is that Yuan Yao is a little uneasy about Liu Xun's ability, according to the settings of some games in later generations, this guy's ability can be regarded as garbage first-class, but those data can only be used for reference, just like Yuan Yao's talent bamboo slip for Buqi, it is just a kind of data evaluation of his historical behavior, and it can't be just qualitative.

In addition, the main opponent of his own navy is the Jingzhou navy, but because Yuan Yao preemptively crossed the river and landed in Jiangdong, the goal of the Jingzhou navy to prevent Yuan's crossing the river failed, and it has begun to stop recently, and there has been no movement on the water, which is the main reason why Yuan Yao is relieved to hand over the navy to Liu Xun......
