A frigate of the 21st century appeared in front of the ancients a thousand years ago, and this impact is still very powerful. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
As Jiang Yin's 'Founding Ship' gets closer and closer to the port, the whole picture of the 'Founding Ship' is more and more revealed, including the towering command tower in the ship, those sky-facing batteries, and the huge ship surface, which can be seen more and more clearly.
The people who were originally busy on the dock stopped what they were doing, and they all stared directly at the silver beast on the sea.
Cai Changyi stood panting on the largest docking platform of the dock, he ran so fast that he was a little out of breath, but this did not prevent him from getting excited.
"Ahem... Jiang Shao.. It's amazing, I thought it would be a long time before we could get a warship from Hyundai, but now he's got one..."
"Army... Warship? Wang Sizong also asked breathlessly.
"yes!" Cai Changyi excitedly pointed to the huge ship in the distance and said, "That's the ship!" That's a warship! β
Wang Sizong first stared at the big ship on the sea for a while, and then his mouth grew.
"Haha, how's it going?" Cai Changyi patted Wang Sizong on the shoulder, and said overjoyed: "With this thing, now I dare to say that in this world, there are few countries' navies that dare to argue with our New Song Kingdom." β
"This...."Wang Sizong still couldn't digest Cai Changyi's words.
But Cai Changyi no longer cared about him at the moment, he excitedly commanded everyone to empty the dock as soon as possible to make way for the warship to dock.
The 'Founding Ship' was also moving very fast, and before the dock was cleared, the whole ship was completely close to the shore.
Fortunately, the Cangzhou wharf has been built for a period of time, although the water depth of the wharf cannot reach the standards of later generations, but the general medium-sized ships are more than enough to dock.
When the battleship was officially docked on the dock, the huge torrent of steel showed its majesty, and everyone on the dock looked up, just like the ignorant earthlings in the 21st century movie looking up at the aliens.
The huge deck of the ship, which is more than ten meters high, has the three big characters of 'Founding Number' written in Song Chinese, which Jiang Yin asked the painted shipwright to spray with a machine in the repair room of Dongfang Port.
The shape of the whole giant ship exudes the light of the silver-white standard warships of later generations, and on the windows of those round ships, many modern people who came to the Great Song Dynasty for the first time cast their windows and looked at the world on the shore curiously.
"Huh..."
With the sound of anchoring, the 'Founding Number' completely stopped at the edge of the Cangzhou wharf.
"Bang." On one side of the hull, a side door slowly opened.
Lin Yue poked his head out of the door and shouted to the people below, "Prepare a ladder or shelf." β
Cai Changyi heard it, and hurriedly sent someone to find a ladder, but the length was not enough, and he couldn't find a ladder that could reach the height of the hatch for a while.
Jiang Yin watched the people under the ship busy looking for ladders everywhere, shook his head at Lin Yue and said, "Forget it, don't let them look for it, let's go down first, and wait for the craftsman to build a completely suitable ladder out of the cabin." β
"But we can't go down now." Lin Yue said helplessly.
But before he could finish speaking, he felt light, and then his feet stepped on the ground again, and the scene before him changedβhe was already standing on the dock under the ship.
"Don't forget, I can teleport." Jiang Yin winked at him.
"Hey, next time I encounter this again, I won't ask what to do anymore, it looks too stupid." Lin Yue shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Haha" Jiang Yin smiled very happily.
Cai Changyi, who was still anxiously looking for a ladder everywhere, suddenly heard a familiar laughter behind him, and when he turned his head, he saw Jiang Yin and Lin Yue standing there talking and laughing.
"Jiang Shao!" Cai Changyi held the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said loudly to Jiang Yin: "You have to take this hand!" Even warships can get it! β
Seeing Cai Changyi, Jiang Yin was also very happy, "Lao Cai, you don't have to admire me for this hand, this warship was brought by Brother Lin." β
"Haha, it's amazing, I heard Lao Di brag last time I drank, and now as long as there are some famous black market arms dealers in the world, they all know Lin Yue's name." Cai Changyi was very happy, "Where did you buy this boat?" β
"Hey, don't listen to Lao Di's bragging, now I'm just doing business with the underground arms dealers in the Russian Far East, this ship was bought from Russia, a retired frigate of the Krivac class." Lin Yue said modestly.
"Amazing, amazing." Cai Changyi gave a thumbs up, "With this guy, which country's navy are we afraid of in this world, if you dare to disagree, you will fight directly." β
"Of course, when the time comes, let's take the fleet to Japan to bomb and have fun?" Jiang Yin smiled evilly.
"A must! At the very least, they should be caught and hung on the bow of the ship. Cai Changyi also echoed...
....
"Your Majesty!" Just as everyone was chatting happily, Wang Sizong finally appeared.
"It turned out to be Wang Shangshu." Jiang Yin smiled and said, "Is there anything important in the Ministry of Rites recently?" β
"It's not true, it's all a trivial matter of night lamp management and vendor regulations." Wang Sizong thought for a moment and replied.
"Is there anything big going on in the DPRK and China?"
"There are Yang Shangshu, Wang Shangshu and others in the court, and now they only do the selection of officials every day, and there are no other major events."
"Ah, that's good." Jiang Yin said with satisfaction: "What you have to do now is to build a stable imperial court, and the officials of the court will gradually select outstanding talents from Cangzhou and other surrounding counties in strict accordance with the assessment standards I have asked to enrich our imperial court, and this is your greatest achievement." β
"Well, Xia Guan understands." Wang Sizong nodded, and then he curiously pointed to the giant ship leaning against the dock and asked, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Cai just said that this thing is a warship, and the officials have never seen this thing if they are ignorant." β
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to introduce you, this is the sea warship I brought back from overseas, called the 'Founding Number', which was named to celebrate the founding of the New Song Dynasty, there are many overseas strange things on this ship, and the power at sea can be said to be invincible and unstoppable."
Wang Sizong listened to Jiang Yin's introduction, and looked at the ship with more curious eyes, he strongly wanted to board the battleship to see what it was like on it.
Jiang Yin naturally saw Wang Sizong's desire, so he paused and said: "This thing is the first battleship of my New Song Kingdom, as a founding gift, I want to invite my New Song Kingdom cultural relics hundred officials to board this battleship to celebrate, take a boat to sail on the sea, and enjoy the scenery on the sea at the same time." β
Wang Sizong was a little embarrassed, "Your Majesty, Emperor Qin Youshi was tyrannical and built a mirage ship overseas in order to seek the way of immortality, and was ridiculed by later generations for thousands of years, I am afraid that something is wrong with you making such a statement, right?" β
Jiang Yin was choked stiffly, but he didn't know how to answer this question.....
