First of all, Gao Huaiyuan's kung fu is a little unclear, although Gao Huaiyuan has always maintained his own training along the way, but from his soberness, it has only been a few years now, Gao Huaiyuan has gone from a silly boy to a master with a strong kung fu, in just a few years, Gao Huaiyuan has changed from a silly boy to a knowledgeable and intelligent person, as well as these subordinates around him, fierce and terrifying, they have iron discipline among them, and they cooperate with each other very tacitly, And they are very loyal to Gao Huaiyuan, and even do not hesitate to use their lives to protect Gao Huaiyuan, even if they are like what they said, they are all orphans taken in by Gao Huaiyuan, and they will not be so loyal to Gao Huaiyuan! How did Gao Huaiyuan train them to be such dead soldiers?

And although Gao Huaiyuan told him some secrets about the kind of secret called explosive thunder in his hands, Ji Xiancheng also felt that Gao Huaiyuan still had something to say that he hadn't completely told him, why did Gao Huaiyuan do this, and how many secrets were buried in him?

In the past few years, what kind of adventures did Gao Huaiyuan have, or what masters did he meet, so that he, a once ignorant teenager, could quickly grow into a young man who could go into battle and make contributions and run a huge industry?

The more Ji Xiancheng thought about it, the more he felt that he couldn't figure it out, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Gao Huaiyuan was full of fog, and he couldn't see Gao Huaiyuan clearly, this was something he had never encountered before, many people could generally look at each other as long as he took a look, and when he saw Gao Huaiyuan for the first time, he felt that Gao Huaiyuan was a very hot-blooded person, but after more contact, he found that Gao Huaiyuan was not only hot-blooded, but also hidden a kind of cunning, and was a very complex character.

Thinking of this, Ji Xiancheng began to become more and more interested in Gao Huaiyuan, he really wanted to see what kind of secret Gao Huaiyuan was hiding, and what he was planning in his heart!

Sitting on the boat and looking at the surging river flowing from both sides of the ship's side, Gao Huaiyuan had to admire the shipbuilding technology of the ancients, like such a wooden boat driven by sails only, although the speed is not fast on the river, but it is very stable, the two sons of the boatman's family, holding a long penny back and forth on both sides of the ship's side, providing auxiliary power for the boat, the old boatman will swing the oar at the stern to grasp the direction, and the woman of the family will cook with a small stove in the bow of the boat, and the family seems to be happy.

And Gao Huaiyuan also completely relaxed at this time, sitting leisurely on the side of the boat, watching the various boats shuttling back and forth on the river, watching the fish in the river jump out of the water from time to time, and the body and mind were fully rested at this moment.

When a white shadow flashed over the side of the boat, Gao Huaiyuan's eyes suddenly widened, and he exclaimed, this kind of thing is too familiar to him, but all the information is only from some pictures, and only at this time can he really see its figure, although he is not sure whether the white shadow swimming with the boat is a finless porpoise or a baiji dolphin, but judging from the shape of this dolphin, Gao Huaiyuan still thinks that he is the Baiji dolphin that has become extinct in later generations.

It just so happened that the son of a boatman walked past him, looked down at the baiji dolphin swimming with the boat in the river, and said with a smile: "That's a river pig, do you want to try it?" I'd like to help you get it up! So saying, the lad put down the penny and went in search of the harpoon.

"Wait! No, why should I be willing to eat such a creature? Let it live freely here! I am afraid that in a few hundred years, it will not be easy for future generations to see their figures! "Where did Gao Huaiyuan dare to eat such a rare animal! So he hurriedly spoke out and stopped the young man of the boatman.

"Childe, where is this! There are many things in the river, and we often encounter this kind of thing when fishing, the meat is delicious, much better than pork, and their skin is still the best leather for making boots, and we often encounter them! How could it be that you wouldn't see them in the future? The guy smiled innocently.

Gao Huaiyuan was really a little speechless, for these simple boatmen, this rare animal may be just a plate of Chinese food in their eyes, or a skin that can be exchanged for money, but for him, killing this elf-like animal is unacceptable no matter what! Nowadays, people do not have any awareness of wildlife protection, and even he himself has been accustomed to hunting in the mountains in recent years, which is such an behavior, gradually erasing countless living beings from this world.

"I see! But I still can't bear to hunt such beautiful creatures! Let it go! Gao Huaiyuan shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, but he still didn't agree to let the boatman hunt this beautiful baiji dolphin.

At this time, Ji Xiancheng happened to walk out of the cabin, and also saw this rare baiji dolphin, and heard Gao Huaiyuan's words again, and walked over and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Young Master Gao, you are really a bit of a bodhisattva sometimes!" As he spoke, he sat beside Gao Huaiyuan.

"Does Mr. Ji think I'm a very contradictory person?" Gao Huaiyuan was in a good mood at this time, so he chatted with Ji Xiancheng.

Ji Xiancheng thought for a while and nodded: "It's really good, please forgive Ji for being blunt, since Ji met the young master, he felt more and more unable to see through the young master!" Two days ago, when the young master faced those thieves, he was like killing a god, but now when he faced this fish, he became a bodhisattva, isn't it contradictory? ”

"Huh! Actually, Mr. Ji still doesn't know me very well! I'm not as complicated as you think, a lot of times I really want to survive, and when facing enemies, I learn to be ruthless, only then can I live longer! Don't Mr. Ji think it's not easy to come to this world? Since he came, Gao didn't want to come silently for nothing! I don't think Mr. Ji wants to spend his life doing nothing!

It's just that Mr. Ji seems to be a little disheartened now, although I don't know what happened to Mr. Ji, but I know that at least Mr. Ji was probably a hot-blooded person before!

Gao sometimes thinks about how brilliant our Han nation was in this world once upon a time, but why is it that now, it has been reduced to a couple that can only be in the south of the Yangtze River? Where is the blood of our Han people now? Gao Huaiyuan set his eyes on the northern sky, and said to Ji Xiancheng while lying on his back on the board.

Ji Xiancheng looked at Gao Huaiyuan's eyes, his heart moved slightly, and he said, "Who said that we Han people have no blood?" Think about how many heroes and heroes shed their blood in order to restore the old land and revitalize the rivers and mountains, how can we say that we Han people have no blood?

Don't talk about it far away, let's just say that Jiaxuan Jushi Xin gave up his illness, how many popular poems did he leave behind by his old man, which one is not exciting to read?

When Young Master Gao said this, it seems that he has depreciated us Han people a little! ”

"Definitely! Gao has never deprecated himself to us Han people, but Mr. Ji can also think about it, even if Lian Xin Qiji is such a hero, even if he is an important minister of the court, what kind of land will he end up with? Don't talk about that! I'm angry when I mention that! Of course Gao Huaiyuan knows who Xin Qiji is, and the Southern Song Dynasty has never lacked famous ministers and generals, but the emperor Lao'er is not angry, so that the Han people in the world can only fight with swords and look north, but they are unable to achieve a career.

"Yes! Don't say it, now the traitors in the DPRK and China are in power, how many people have nothing to learn, but there is no way to serve, I see that Young Master Gao is skilled in arching and horses, and he is familiar with military books, why not join the army and serve the country? It's better to show what you've learned than if you were to become a county lieutenant now! Ji Xiancheng tentatively asked Gao Huaiyuan.

"Serving in the army? Gao didn't think about it, even if I have great ability, I still have to be controlled by others in the army, so how can I have the final say in fighting peace? I might as well be more comfortable in the local area, maybe I can do more locally! Gao Huaiyuan shook his head and said.

Ji Xiancheng still didn't get any useful information from Gao Huaiyuan, but he could see some clues from Gao Huaiyuan's words, that is, Gao Huaiyuan was quite dissatisfied with the current imperial court, and he didn't plan to work for the imperial court at all.

Even if there is no seasoning for the fresh fish stewed in the clear river water, it tastes quite delicious, this is a rare delicacy to enjoy when walking by land, Gao Huaiyuan took the chopsticks and feasted, praised the craftsmanship of the boatman again and again, and took out a small pot of wine and put it on the table, and filled Ji Xiancheng with a glass.

The two of them seem to be a little bit of a ghost now, and they are both testing each other, Ji Xiancheng can't see through Gao Huaiyuan's true thoughts, and Gao Huaiyuan also can't see through Ji Xiancheng's thoughts, so he just sat on the boat and chatted, trying to see through each other more clearly.

After taking a sip of wine, Ji Xiancheng immediately shouted: "Good wine!" What kind of wine is this? It's so sweet and abnormal! ”

"This wine is called Immortal Drunk! This is the only wine in the world that can be called a spirit! After Mr. Ji went to Daye County with me this time, if you want to drink this wine, just open your mouth, I promise to satisfy Mr. Ji! Gao Huaiyuan said smugly.

"Then Ji Mou has to thank the young master! I didn't expect to come to Daye County with the young master this time, and I could still taste such a fine wine, which is also worth the trip! Ji Xiancheng was overjoyed, since he was frustrated in officialdom, he has liked to drink, and there is no shortage of fine wine in the world, but for the kind of immortal drunk that Gao Huaiyuan took out today, he drank it for the first time, and after taking a sip of wine, he felt that other wines in this world had lost their taste, and unceremoniously grabbed the wine jug, and filled himself with another glass.

The two of them were eating fish and drinking wine, and they got along well, when they suddenly heard the sound of war drums on the river, Gao Huaiyuan put down his chopsticks and looked curiously in the direction where the drum came from, and saw a group of boats of different sizes on the river, as if they were practicing.

"This is the Ezhou Metropolitan Division's naval army is practicing on the river, if the son is interested, you might as well take a look!" One of the sons of the old boat family walked into the cabin with a plate of grilled fish and said to Gao Huaiyuan.

Gao Huaiyuan immediately stood up, he already knew that the reason why the Southern Song Dynasty was able to settle in the south of the Yangtze River for more than a hundred years was basically the credit of the navy, this era before the Yuan Dynasty did not establish a strong naval division, the Southern Song Dynasty's naval division was definitely the most powerful naval division in the world, don't look at the Southern Song Dynasty infantry army and the Jin army were repeatedly defeated, but the naval army was at war against the Jin country, but the naval army made great achievements, so that it soon developed into an important branch of the army that was comparable to the army, and the combat record was much better than the army. It played a vital role in maintaining half of the south of the Yangtze River in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Although Gao Huaiyuan has served in the army for more than a year, he basically fights on land and rarely comes into contact with the navy.

This naval army has dozens of warships of various types, divided into two groups, attacking each other, with the sound of war drums, all kinds of ships advance and retreat, which looks quite spectacular.

Gao Huaiyuan couldn't see it from afar, so he beckoned Liu'er and said, "Liu'er! Bring me that telescope in my package! ”

Liu Er hurriedly returned to the cabin, sent out the telescope carried by Gao Huaiyuan, and handed it to Gao Huaiyuan, Gao Huaiyuan raised the telescope and began to carefully watch the drills of the navy.

It's just that Gao Huaiyuan is a little strange that those big boats have no sails, and they still keep moving at a speed on the river, so he suddenly became curious, so after adjusting the binoculars, he saw clearly that there were actually a few wheels on each side of these big ships, and the wheels rotated to move the water surface to provide power for the boats.

"Cars and boats! The water army is a car and a boat! Gao Huaiyuan was excited, and shouted, he had heard of this kind of car and boat, but he rarely walked on the river, and only now he saw it for the first time, this kind of car and boat can be regarded as a great invention of the ancient Chinese, the shipbuilding technology of the Southern Song Dynasty can be said to have reached the peak of ancient times, and this era created a human-driven paddle steamer, Gao Huaiyuan had to sigh at the wisdom of the ancient Chinese.

Hearing Gao Huaiyuan's exclamation, Ji Xiancheng looked curiously at the strange copper pipe in Gao Huaiyuan's hand, at such a distance, he basically couldn't see what shape the ships of the Qing Army were, but Gao Huaiyuan could distinguish that the ships used by the Navy were vehicles and ships just by this copper pipe, which greatly aroused Ji Xiancheng's curiosity.

"What is this in Young Master Gao's hands? Why can you see the ships of the Qing Army, but Ji can't see clearly? Ji Xiancheng really couldn't help it, so he asked Gao Huaiyuan.

Gao Huaiyuan put down the telescope on his eyes, handed it into Ji Xiancheng's hand, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ji, you can take a look, this kind of thing is made by me, called a telescope, through which you can see places that are not clear to the naked eye in the distance!" ”

Ji Xiancheng hurriedly took the so-called telescope in Gao Huaiyuan's hand, leaned in front of his eyes and looked into the distance, and said strangely: "It's weird!" Why does this thing seem farther and farther away? ”

Gao Huaiyuan turned his head and suddenly sweated profusely, stretched out his hand and turned the telescope in front of Ji Xiancheng, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ji took it upside down!" Look at it from this end! ”

Ji Xiancheng was also very embarrassed, but he still couldn't resist the temptation, and hurriedly looked into the distance through the camera: "Huh? It's really far away! Much clearer! Yes, it's really good, it's really a boat for the sailors! This is a sacred thing! ”

After watching the drills of the navy for a while, the two of them gradually moved away as the ship moved away, and the navy ship went upstream before their boat, and then returned to the cabin to sit down.

"This kind of car and boat is also early, it is said that in the early Tang Dynasty, someone made a car and boat, to and from the river, and really used for the end of the water war, I am afraid that it is the early years of Gaozong Shaoxing in the Dongting Lake bandits Yang Mo thieves used a lot, Yang Mo water army used a large number of this kind of vehicles and boats, across the Dongting Lake area repeatedly defeated the official army, fortunately later there was Yue Marshal personally conscripted, only to exterminate the thief army, Marshal Yue also took advantage of this captured thief army vehicles and ships, built the Ezhou Metropolitan Commander Division of the water army, began to use a large number of vehicles and ships! Because there is a precedent for the Yang Mo thief army, the people are not allowed to build cars and ships privately, only the navy can use them, so it is not common on weekdays, but this ship is indeed the weapon of my Great Song Dynasty naval army, and it has repeatedly defeated the Jin army over the years, so that it cannot go south, which can be called a great achievement! After Ji Xiancheng sat down, he explained to Gao Huaiyuan the origin of the car and boat, after all, he read more than Gao Huaiyuan, so he knew a lot more about the use of cars and ships in the Southern Song Dynasty than Gao Huaiyuan.

"Oh! I've heard of this kind of car and ship for a long time, but I've only seen it today, and it's really mighty! No wonder the Jin army has invaded the south many times, but they have returned in vain, and the water army can be regarded as an indispensable contribution! It's just that this kind of vehicle and ship still has some inconveniences, the resistance of the paddle wheel on both sides is too great, so that the center of gravity of the hull is too high, can not withstand the big wind and waves, and there are many inconveniences to control, which is the disadvantage of the paddle steamer! But it's nice to have such a ship right now! Gao Huaiyuan nodded again and again, and then said some of the disadvantages of this kind of car and ship.

"Oh? It seems that Young Master Gao is quite proficient in shipbuilding! actually just glanced at it, and said so many shortcomings of the car and ship, it seems that Young Master Gao still has opinions on improving this kind of car and ship? Ji Xiancheng asked in surprise.

"Huh! I'm just casually saying that I know how to build a ship! It's just hearsay! It can't be true! Gao Huaiyuan knew that he had talked a little more.

"I heard the young master just now say that this kind of telescope was made by you, this thing is really magical, how could Young Master Gao create such an obscene thing? Now Young Master Gao is becoming more and more curious about Ji! Ji Xiancheng took Gao Huaiyuan's telescope and sighed.
