Chapter 148: Big Mac
Wu Jin unexpectedly got the news, his grandmother, the Queen Mother, turned out to be the righteous daughter of King Lao Liang, the King of Lanling County never told him, he accidentally learned from Zhou Xin's mouth.
"Can Uncle Zhou tell me about this?"
Zhou Xin heard him call himself Uncle Zhou, although there was no problem with his seniority, but he couldn't afford it, so he shook his head and smiled: "Your Highness doesn't let me call me the young master, then Your Highness should also call me Changshi, but I heard my father talk about this matter, my father was originally the guard behind the Queen Mother, and she was Queen Ye." ”
"Ye Yunqing?" Wu Jin added.
"Yes, this is the name of Queen Ye, Queen Ye's biological father is the deputy envoy of Helong Jiedu, the governor of Wuwei Ye Xuan, is the sworn brother of the old Liang King, is his most trusted person, one winter, the Qiang people in Hexi rebelled, the Liang King led the army to quell the rebellion, but due to intelligence errors, he and three thousand soldiers were trapped in the small city of Jinshan by 100,000 Qiang soldiers for a winter, the food was cut off, the war horses were exhausted, and then the plague broke out in the city, seeing that the surname of the old Liang Wang was not guaranteed, it was Ye Xuan who led the last thirty guards to desperately protect the Liang King to break through, and they killed a bloody road, Rushed out of the Qiang encirclement, King Liang was saved, but Ye Xuan died of exhaustion, when he was dying, he begged King Liang to take care of his daughter, Ye Yunqing was only three years old at that time, the old King Liang accepted her as a daughter, at the age of sixteen, she married the King of Chu as a concubine, and later ....."
"Later, the king of Lanling County told me."
Wu Jin sighed, no wonder Lao Liang Wang was involved in this matter so deeply, it turned out that the woman the two brothers were fighting for was his daughter.
He remembered something, and asked tentatively: "The sixth person of the six warriors of Jin'an, does Zhou Changshi know?" ”
Zhou Xin showed a strange look on his face, he shook his head and said, "I only know that his name is Leng Qingqiu, he is the youngest of the six warriors, and he is also the most seriously injured, and he died of illness forty years ago. ”
Almost the same as what the King of Lanling County said, Wu Jin didn't ask any more, and he smiled again: "Who is the leader of the Jin'an Society?" ”
"Doesn't this Highness know yet?"
Wu Jin shook his head, "I never knew, and they didn't tell me. ”
"The master of the meeting is Zen Master Huiming, he had the highest official position back then, he was the chief of the guard, all the scheduling of the Jin'an Society was done by him, and he also decided to let me marry the widowed sister of Uncle Shen Guo, let me enter Chuzhou, echo with the Lord of Chen, and at the same time it is convenient to take care of your brothers."
As he spoke, a soldier at the door said, "Changshi, the second son's flying eagle ship is here." ”
"Huh! He came just in time. ”
Zhou Xin smiled and said to Wu Jin: "Your Highness, please come with me." ”
The two of them walked to the deck, only to see three clippers speeding on the river in the distance, all of which were about a thousand stones, with a slender hull and a fast speed, a huge black flying eagle printed on the white sail on the front, and an officer standing faintly in the bow.
Zhou Xin pointed at the officer and said with a smile: "That is my second son Zhou Yanbao, who is also the captain of the naval army directly under the military government." ”
Wu Jin suddenly realized, no wonder he could take himself to the navy directly under the military office, it turned out that the lieutenant was his son, "What about the eldest son of Changshi?" ”
"My eldest son, Yan'an, is in the army in Shuzhou, and he is also a lieutenant of the military government."
Zhou Xin said in a low voice: "Among the six lieutenants of the Chuzhou Navy Army, others are fine, but His Royal Highness should pay attention to Yang Shaoyou, the captain of the Jiangning Navy Army, he is the younger brother of Yang Song, the former deputy governor of the navy, he should have been promoted to the deputy governor of the navy, but he was taken away by His Royal Highness, he has always been jealous, and he is the person of Uncle Shen, he will be your biggest obstacle in the future, and you must get rid of this person as soon as possible." ”
Wu Jin nodded, he knew it in his heart.
The flying eagle sailed quickly, this is a twenty-four [***] car ship, about eight hundred stones, and also uses sails, so the speed is extremely fast, the ship slows down, and the ship stops at the wrong time, and a twenty-four or five-year-old young general arches his hand and says: "Father, have you all been overseed?" ”
Zhou Xin introduced Wu Jin to him, and said with a smile: "This is the Governor of the Water Army, His Royal Highness the King of Si Ning!" ”
Commander Zhou Yanbao immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted, "The last general, Zhou Yanbao, will see the governor." ”
As soon as he knelt down, dozens of sailors behind him also knelt down, "See the governor!" ”
"General Zhou, please get up! Brothers, you don't have to be polite, please get up! ”
The respect of the soldiers made Wu Jin feel like going home, this feeling was very good, the soldiers boarded the boat, Wu Jin was ready to go over, but Zhou Xin whispered in his ear: "Your Highness, the dog doesn't know about the Jin Security Society." ”
Wu Jin was stunned, he immediately nodded, walked onto the board and went to the other party's boat, Zhou Xin also followed, his boat was the official ship of Jiangning Mansion, and they were not allowed to enter the water village, they had to get on the military ship.
Wu Jin looked at this Zhou Yanbao, he looked quite like his father, with a wide face, a big nose, a tall and burly figure, and he looked majestic.
Zhou Yanbao respectfully handed the Ling Qi to Wu Jin, "Please command!" ”
The ships line up and line, mainly rely on the flag language to contact each other, sail at night, is by the ship lamp, Wu Jin used to be in the Ryukyu Island when he learned the flag language of the Phoenix Society, and the Daning Navy flag is basically the same, he is not a stranger, of course, he is the Governor of the Navy Army, he just gives orders, he does not need him to really wave the flag, waving the flag is the matter of the flag bearer, here is just a symbol of handing over power.
He picked up the order flag, waved out an order to return to Hong Kong, and handed the order flag back to Zhou Yanbao with a smile: "I haven't gone to the military office to worship Yin, and I can't command the army for the time being, but General Zhou is still in command!" ”
Zhou Yanbao knew in his heart that the governor had actually given the order, he immediately waved the order flag, and the flag bearer of the mast boss also followed suit, and the three military ships slowly turned around and sailed towards the water village.
........ Jiangning Water Village is located in the middle of the Yangtze River, and unlike the Qinghe Water Army that Wu Jin encountered in Qizhou, this is not a closed water village, but a slightly recessed inlet, and more than 300 warships are docked in the inlet.
As the warship approached the port, a distinctive black spot suddenly appeared on the river, and Wu Jin was also attracted by this black spot, he walked up to the bow of the ship and watched it from afar.
It was a ship, and it was the first to appear when the other ships were still out of sight, but when the other ships gradually appeared, the size of the ship began to become surprising.
When Wujin's warship was still two miles away from Shuizhai, this ship was like a giant standing upright, suddenly appeared in front of him, this was actually a huge giant warship, it was a flat-bottomed warship, five zhang high, nearly forty zhang long, nine huge masts went straight to the sky, and the front bow was carved with a tiger head with angry eyes, the face was hideous, and it made people shudder.
"General, that is the mother ship of our Chuzhou Naval Division, the Shenzhou warship, carrying 25,000 stones, excluding the 400 sailors it owns, it can transport an army of 1,200 people, and it has just been launched in May this year."
Zhou Yanbao's tone was full of pride, as if he was introducing his beloved child, Wu Jin didn't speak, he just quietly watched the behemoth, when their small boat passed under the big ship, he looked up, the huge hull was like a mountain pressing down, at this moment, he felt that he was so small.
"Governor, do you want to get on this ship?" Zhou Yanbao felt Wu Jin's amazement.
Wu Jin nodded, this big ship made him have a strong interest, Zhou Yanbao immediately waved the command flag, and in a moment, a folding ladder was lowered from the big ship, the ladder extended down one by one, and the crew on it was controlled by a giant rope, and soon, the ladder took Wu Jin's ship.
Zhou Yanbao held the ladder and climbed up, Wu Jin followed, when he climbed onto the big boat, his eyes lit up, the deck was as spacious as a football field, and he could even walk on the deck on horseback, and the huge mast was like nine superswords, piercing the sky.
Wu Jin slowly walked to the bow of the boat, only to see the vast river in full view, the river surface of the small boats passing back and forth, like a small beetle, he seemed to stand on the top of the mountain and look out, there is a kind of magnificence at a glance of the mountains.
At this time, Zhou Yanbao brought a young officer and introduced him to Wu Jin: "Governor, this Captain Lin is the commander of this warship. ”
The young officer immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted, "The last general, Lin Yuanyang, see the governor!" ”
Wu Jin nodded, "Captain Lin, please get up!" ”
He pointed to the big ship and asked, "Does this ship have a name?" ”
"Back to the governor, this ship is called Tiger Ben, and it is one of the big ships of Shenzhou."
"How many Shenzhou ships are there?" Wu Jin was even more interested, it turned out that there was more than one such warship.
Zhou Yanbao next to him said with a smile: "This kind of Shenzhou big ship was built by our Jiangning Shipbuilding Bureau, and it was built five years ago, one a year, a total of five ships were built, four of which were in our Chuzhou Naval Army, and the other one was in the Qizhou Naval Army, this kind of ship originally wanted to transport grain to Goryeo, but because the cost was too high, the imperial court has ordered to stop construction this year." ”
Wu Jin pondered for a moment and then asked, "Then what is the warship used for now?" ”
"Now it is temporarily used to transport the rations of the navy, and the supplies of our six military palaces are transported by it."
"Can I sail to Shanghai?" Wu Jin asked again.
Captain Lin immediately bowed down and said: "You can sail away, three years ago, I sailed another Dapeng warship to the countries of the South Seas. ”
"Very good, show me inside."
Captain Lin immediately led everyone down the deck, there are four floors in the belly of the big ship, the bottom floor is the livestock hold, the second floor is the cargo hold, and the third and fourth floors are the troop transport cabins, the long aisle is on both sides of the spacious cabins, each cabin has windows, so that the cabin is brightly lit.
Wu Jin turned around and asked Zhou Yanbao, "General Zhou said just now that my Chuzhou Navy has a total of four such giant ships, so where are the other three?" ”
"There is one in the Yanling Water Military Mansion, one in the Yongjia Water Military Mansion, and one in the Huiji Water Military Mansion."
Wu Jin nodded, and they walked down the stairs down the three floors, the layout of the third and fourth floors was the same, but there was a long corridor in the middle, and there were cabins arranged on both sides, but the cabin structure was different, the cabins on the fourth floor were very spacious, while the cabins on the third floor were much narrower, and the number of cabins was twice as large as the fourth floor.
At this time, Wu Jin noticed a strange phenomenon, that is, all the cabins were clean, as if they had never been used.
"General Zhou, didn't you say that these ships are used to transport food and supplies? How can I not see a grain of grain? ”
Zhou Yanbao immediately smiled and said: "The general doesn't know, the other three are used to transport food supplies, and this warship has not been used for the time being because it was launched late." ”
"So what are you going to do with it?" Wu Jin asked.
"The former Yang Dudu was ready to use it as his own command ship, so he ordered it to be refitted, and the siding between the four decks was removed, so that each cabin became larger, and it was convenient to arrange meeting rooms, war rooms and study rooms, but the cabin had just been renovated, Yang Dudu was transferred, and now the ship is temporarily vacant here, waiting for the Dudu to decide on the specific use."
Wu Jin nodded and smiled happily: "I think Yang Dudu's idea is very good, I fully support it, since this ship has been refitted, it will be used as my special ship in the future." ”
He turned around and ordered, "Bring in the other three ships as well, I need to use them to form a fleet." ”
