Chapter 6: The Big Ship

This drizzling rain actually fell endlessly, and it was like this for almost a week. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Such weather undoubtedly affected the mood of Changsun Tang and others. On this day when the clothes were about to wring out the water, the eldest grandson felt that it was good that there was no mold and no mushrooms on his head, although it was impossible to have mushrooms at this time.

But in such a day, the eldest grandson still went to Yueyang Tower every day to guard the possible big ship, originally Wang Zixin and Xiao Zhiqing were quite interested, but after waiting for two days, they couldn't hold on, so they played mahjong with Xiaolan and Xiaocui.

Originally, Ge Feng didn't want to come, but under Ge Long's gaze, he had to come over reluctantly.

This Ge Feng finally married the daughter of the family on Zhuangzi, and maintained the eldest grandson Tang specially let people build a good mansion on the vacant land near Zhuangzi, which was specially used for this kind of occasion, and everyone who wanted to get married was in one set.

In Ge Long's mind, Changsun Tang is the kind of big man who is very kind on the surface, and he treats his subordinates very well, so this is enough, people can't spare no luck, so after getting married, he hurried over after confirming that his daughter-in-law was pregnant, which made Changsun Tang a little speechless.

On this occasion, Wang Tie Dan is naturally there, and watching the two brothers and the eldest grandson and the two brothers on the side is also a pastime.

The five of them sat in a box facing the river, where the scenery is naturally the best, and it is also convenient to observe the legendary big ship.

"Young master, the big ship is coming, the big ship is coming." Ge Feng, who couldn't sit still, was the first to discover the traces of the big boat, but it was very big compared to the small fishing boat next to him.

"Oh, how many sails are there on this ship?" Although Changsun Tang had been waiting for this moment for a long time, he still deliberately suppressed the restlessness in his heart, trying to make himself seem that he didn't care so much.

These are what he told himself when he set off from Chang'an City, his cheap father, Changsun Wuji.

Ge Long leaned on the window again, and after some effort, he said, "Young master, this distance is a bit far, and the sail is facing me, so I can't see clearly." "Since the eldest grandson got married, the two Ge brothers have changed their names.

"Oh, that's right." The eldest grandson was a little disappointed and continued to ask, "Then how many masts do you see?" ”

At this time, the ships were powered by the wind, and the number of sails and masts basically determined the size of a ship, or in other words, the more sails and masts, the bigger the ship.

"Okay." Ge Feng surprisingly didn't raise the bar with the eldest grandson this time, and left in response.

Just when the eldest grandson was a little impatient, Ge Feng finally spoke: "Young master, this is still a little far, and it is still too much to count." ”

"Poof." Wang Tie couldn't hold it back anymore, and the tea he just drank in his mouth squirted out, which was also very strange, as if there was anything funny, someone would always drink the water at the right time, and then squirt it out properly.

Only then did Changsun Tang realize that he was really anxious, and some habits really didn't mean that they should be able to change. So he got up and looked out the window.

Not far from the faint mouth of the lake, this huge ship occupied almost all of Changsun Tang's field of vision. The eldest grandson couldn't take care of being reserved anymore, so he turned around and went downstairs. This stunned the other four, but quickly followed.

The eldest grandson didn't bother to take the carriage when he got out of the restaurant, and walked directly towards the dock specially opened for big ships. The remaining four had no choice but to abandon the carriage and quickly follow.

When I arrived at this pier, I found that the circle here had already been surrounded by the government corps here, and I was about to enter when I was stopped.

"This is our Hou Ye, this boat is his, you have to let us in." The only one who can say this sentence is Ge Feng, a rammer.

"Oh, it's okay, just let you in when Your Majesty comes." The leader is a low-level officer with a scar on his face, but he doesn't care about it.

As for this identity tag and other things, Zhang Zhong put them in the carriage, and he would have gone to get them a long time ago.

When he was at a stalemate, this Wu Yuanqing came, and he understood the scene in front of him: "Hey, this is a new thing, this Hou Ye was actually stopped by a captain." Naturally, this tone is extremely bad.

When the captain heard this, he was immediately taken aback: "Little grandfather, is this really the eldest grandson?" But apparently he was not deterred by the remark.

"It's like a fake. I said this Hou Ye, you are too anxious, I originally planned to send someone to find you, but I didn't expect you to come first. Wu Yuanqing still has such a hateful face.

"I'm in a hurry, you can do this." The eldest grandson played a scoundrel.

"Then what can I do, it's just that you're in big trouble today, this captain is notoriously upright, I see how you get in today." After saying that, he actually went in by himself, and he had no intention of letting Changsun Tang in.

The captain was also dumbfounded when he saw this situation, he really didn't think that this was a joke between the two.

But fortunately, this Zhang Zhong came in time, and the captain immediately let him go after checking his identity.

When the eldest grandson and his entourage arrived at the dock, there was still some distance from the dock, and the appearance of the boat was clearly presented in front of him.

It was a huge ship as tall as a building, with a wide pointed bottom, a high bow and tail, and guarded plates on both sides. The whole ship is divided into four layers, the lower deck is equipped with earth and stone ballast, the second floor is inhabited by soldiers, the third floor is the main operation place, and the upper floor is the combat site. The bow of the ship is high, and there is a strong impact device, which can plow and sink the enemy ship by pressing down on the wind, and win with more ship strength.

"Young master, young master, I have counted clearly, this ship has nine masts and twelve sails." Just when Changsun Tang was shocked by this all-wood behemoth, Ge Feng suddenly shouted.

This voice made everyone look sideways.

The eldest grandson didn't notice this, he just looked at the huge ship stupidly. Perhaps these ships could not even be compared to a frigate in later generations, but after all, this was the largest ship in the world at this time, and it was also built by Changsun Tang based on the prototype of Zheng He's treasure ship, the fortune ship that prevailed in the Ming Dynasty.

His appearance not only means that Changsun Tang can go to the sea, but more importantly, Changsun Tang has already decided to advance the geographical discovery to the Tang Dynasty.

This is not only a personal hobby, but also related to the eternal inheritance of future generations. (To be continued.) )
