Remember [Biquge Chinese Network] in one second to provide you with wonderful reading.
Ye Shaolong used the strength of wine to serve his two wives all night, and he didn't fall asleep until dawn. The next day, he got up early, not because he didn't want to sleep lazy, but because he was woken up early in the morning, and after washing up in a hurry, he rushed to Tianjin City.
Fortunately, you can rest in the carriage on the way, and during the time of leaving, the official road from Yejiabao to Tianjin City has been paved with cement roads.
This makes the trip much shorter and more convenient. Accompanied by Tie Ta and Li Chengke, everyone was in a hurry to return to Yejiabao yesterday, and they all had to pay attention to it in a hurry.
Today is more laid-back, so everyone pays attention to it, and the horseback ride is not only easy but also flat. The carriage walked on it much more securely, and barely felt any bumps.
Ye Shaolong pointed to the cement road outside the window and said with a smile: "Now that the road has been paved with cement, if you march, will it be half as fast as before?" ”
Li Chengke said with a smile: "There must be this, those dirt roads in the past, when it rained, they were muddy and difficult to walk." Now no matter what the weather, this road can be marched quickly without being affected. ”
In the past, it took a day to set off from Yejiabao to Tianjin City, but this time Ye Shaolong took half a day to arrive comfortably in a carriage.
Outside Tianjin, Su Can and Lin Biao had been waiting early in the morning, and after picking up Ye Shaolong, they walked to the city.
All the people of the Lin Family Gang have been temporarily settled, and the original Lin Family Gang needs to stay and form a water army. And those women, children, old and children, had to move inland or settle in Yejiabao.
In Tianjin City, Ye Shaolong is completely militarized, and no civilians are allowed to stay in the city. Tianjin Port can be said to be the most important and only port in the north, and it is also Ye Shaolong's only outlet to the sea.
To build the most powerful naval army, one Tianjin city is obviously far from enough, for this reason, Ye Shaolong not only wants to militarize Tianjin City, but also expand the area of Tianjin City.
When he entered the city, he saw only the soldiers who were inspecting, but he couldn't see any people, obviously, Su Can was really dutiful during this time. Then he came to the mansion in the city, which is still the garrison of the Yejiabao army, and it is also the place where Su Can lived during this time.
Since there were no people living in the city, there were no other troubles except for the affairs in the barracks.
It seems that the mansion has never been renovated, and it still maintains the same appearance that Ye Shaolong has seen before. The five of them arrived at the main hall in the mansion, and after sitting down in turn, Lin Biao took the lead in speaking: "Ye Shuai, I heard Brother Su say yesterday that people are not allowed to stay in this Tianjin city. So, we family members of the military don't know where to move now? ”
Obviously, Lin Biao already knew Ye Shaolong's intentions for Tianjin City, and what he was most concerned about now was of course the families of those who accompanied the army.
According to his understanding, the best place to settle is Yejiabao, and the next best place is Baoding City. As for the capital, he didn't think about it, he learned that although the capital has begun to have people moving back to live, it is very few, after all, it is still very unstable and may be attacked at any time.
After Ye Shaolong hesitated a little, he still decided to move all the families of the Lin family gang to Yejiabao. This is not only to reassure Lin Biao, but also to give the Lin family a signal of trust.
The Lin family gang will be the backbone of the navy in the future, and it is necessary for Ye Shaolong to settle their families well to avoid their worries.
Ye Shaolong smiled and said, "Yejiabao, in the outer city of Yejiabao, I have already made room for them to settle. This is what I promised you before, and now I fulfill my promise to you. ”
Lin Biao was slightly excited, and immediately thanked Ye Shaolong. The latter was polite to him, and then got to the point, he came in a hurry today, Ye Shaolong was naturally in a hurry to form a water army.
Now, there is nothing in the city of Tianjin, not even a shipyard, and everything else is empty. If you want to form a water army, except for the Lin family's more than 2,000 people, there is nothing to give Lin Biao.
"Now to form a naval army, what do you need, you just say, except that the ship will not be able to give you for a while. I can do everything else I need. Ye Shaolong looked at Lin Biao.
Lin Biao seemed to have already prepared, took out a booklet from his body, handed it to Ye Shaolong, and said: "These are some of the necessary things to form a naval army, please Ye Shuai take a look." ”
Ye Shaolong took the booklet casually and opened it to see that the first page was people. But this person is the one who knows how to build ships, and obviously, a shipyard must have.
And when Ye Shaolong saw this first request, he immediately frowned: "This first request may not be able to satisfy you now!" ”
Lin Biao seemed to have a bottom in his heart, smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, it's difficult to find people who know how to build ships now, in fact, it's easier than buying ships from those foreigners, and we build them ourselves." ”
Ye Shaolong was a little relieved when he heard this, nodded and said, "In addition to the ships we robbed from the Japanese Kou, there are only five ships in Tianjin Port now, and one of them is a warship. ”
"Warship!" Lin Biao exclaimed.
"Yes! The warship was also taken from the hands of the Japanese and sacrificed the lives of more than 200 soldiers. It's a pity that now we can't drive it, so we can only put it in the sea to rust. Speaking of this, Ye Shaolong was very distressed. If he had known that things would turn out like this, he wouldn't have wanted to take this thing before.
Lin Biao was obviously surprised, and the person trembled slightly with excitement, and said in a dumb voice: "Where is the warship now, can you take me to see it!" ”
In order to see the warship, Lin Biao couldn't take care of anything else. In his opinion, as long as there is one warship, it is worth more than a dozen ordinary warships of the original Qing Dynasty.
Neither the tonnage nor the guns installed on the ship were at all of a class. Moreover, those warships are equipped with Hongyi cannons, and in terms of range and power, they can be compared with those ordinary cannons.
Ye Shaolong saw that Lin Biao was excited, and his heart suddenly looked forward to it. He also expected Lin Biao to know how to drive warships, and he had a deep understanding of the power of these warships.
It is no exaggeration to say that one warship is worth twenty ordinary Qing warships. After all, it was made of steel, and it was powered by a steam turbine, and in either way it was much better than some ordinary wooden ship.
At that moment, Ye Shaolong did not hesitate, and immediately asked Su Can to lead the way, and everyone went to take a look.
And Lin Biao simply called all the Lin family gang crew members who stayed behind, as long as it was a real warship, he Lin Biao didn't mind starting it directly. For mobile phone users, please browse M. Reading for a better reading experience.
