This is a very ordinary horse-drawn carriage from the outside, similar vehicles are not uncommon in the Northland, but when you enter the car, the inside is unusually gorgeous, the best silk satin is used to wrap the seat cushions, the gorgeous Persian carpet is spread underfoot, and the most surprising thing is that the windows are actually made of transparent glass from Venice!

The rook is good, the two horses pulling the cart are better, the pure black coat color, very beautiful, the head is light and handsome, the neck is long and beautiful, the back and waist are short, the limbs are slender, and the tendons are developed. Liu Xiaoyuan, who was born in the north and had been in the Jinlianchuan shogunate for a long time, also knew how to use horses, and after just one glance, he knew that this was a good horse that was one in a million.

Such horses are rare in the Mongolian army, and there is probably not one in the Southern Dynasty army, but now they are used by the Pu brothers to pull the cart!

The inside of the car is very spacious, Liu Xiaoyuan and the Pu brothers are not too crowded to sit opposite each other, and there is a small table between the three of them, on which are placed a few snacks, a pot of wine, and three pairs of dishes, chopsticks, cups and saucers.

Pu Shougeng picked up the silver pot full of wine, poured a glass of wine for Liu Xiaoyuan, Pu Shousheng and himself, and said with a smile on his face: "This is the Sydney wine produced in the Musiwad Kingdom in the extreme west, and it takes three years to transport it to Quanzhou through the Mediterranean, Dashihai, Tianzhu and Nanfanhai, and the value is comparable to gold. If His Majesty the Great Khan could not allow my Pujia merchant ship to enter the Great Food Sea, such fine wine would be extinct in Quanzhou. ”

This is a Sydney wine from Spain!

Liu Xiaoyuan, who was dizzy for an unknown amount of time, couldn't even tell the difference between wine and tea, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, but he couldn't taste the good or bad, just nodded slightly and praised: "It's indeed a good wine, if you can't drink it again, it's a pity." But as long as you are dedicated to doing things for the Great Mongolia, how much such wine is still needed? It is this Quanzhou, and the Great Khan can also give it to you! ”

Pu Shousheng and Pu Shougeng glanced at each other, and they both found themselves trembling slightly. Now that the Mongol Khan is personally supervising the attack on Sichuan, it is expected that he will be able to win soon. Once Sichuan is lost, Jinghu will be difficult to protect, and then the Mongolian army will be able to go eastward. This Jiangnan is not in the bag of Great Mongolia? At that time, the Pu family will be the master of Quanzhou!

Pu Shougeng smiled reluctantly, and tried his best to calm his voice: "His Majesty Meng Da Khan is so gracious, even if our brothers are broken, it will be difficult to repay one or two, but I don't know where Great Mongolia can use our brothers to serve them?" ”

Pu Shousheng hesitated for a moment, and his voice trembled a little and he spoke: "Envoy Liu, in order to save the people of Jiangnan and bring the four seas into one as soon as possible, our Pu family will not hesitate to spare our lives. However, the Song army is brutal and scheming, and if we start too early, we are afraid that we will miss a big event......"

As soon as he spoke, Pu Shougeng gave a hard look: "For the unification of the world, for the sake of thousands of living beings in Jiangnan, even if we die, it is worth it!" ”

Yoo Hyo-won smiled and raised a hand, interrupting the brothers' singing and harmonizing performance. This confidant of Kublai Khan seems to be really relaxed. It was as if it was not a conspiracy that would decide the lives and deaths of millions of people, but an ordinary game.

"The weak Song Dynasty can stubbornly resist the Great Mongolia for more than 20 years, since there are some good ministers and warriors who don't know the times, Jia Rudao who guards the two Huai is one, Chen Dexing who built the starting stone and Tianlei is counted as one, and now Wang Jian, who is defending Diaoyu City, is also one, as well as Liu Quan, Lu Wende, Gao Gao, Xia Gui, all have some bravery. But the general trend of the unification of the world is like this, how can it be reversed by a few mantis arms as a car? And the purpose of a certain family coming south is to get rid of these people who don't know the times for Great Mongolia. The two of them only need to help a certain family do this, and the Pu family can Yongzhen Quanzhou! ”

The brothers of the Pu family nodded silently, as long as they didn't raise their flags immediately, they would be able to say anything, whether it was assassination, bribery, or rumors, the Pu family had some ways. Liu Xiaoyuan still smiled: "In addition, when the Great Mongols move eastward, they still need the help of the Pu family's fleet to block the sea route for the monarchs and ministers of the Song State to flee south, and no matter what, they can't be allowed to run to the south by sea." ”

"It's up to our brothers!" Pu Shougeng patted his chest and said, "On land, our Pu family's men and horses may not be able to defeat the Song soldiers, but at sea, our Pu family has 2,000 big ships and more than 100,000 sailors, and it is not a problem to defeat the Song army!" ”

……

When Liu Xiaoyuan and the Pu brothers were plotting to get rid of a good minister and warrior of the Great Song Dynasty, Chen Dexing and his Thunderbolt army were not idle in Guazhou on the bank of the Yangtze River. On the one hand, brainwashing, training, and training cadres are accelerating, and one by one, the 13th century Chinese, who were originally quite simple and normal, have been turned into ultra-nationalists by ultra-high-intensity ideological education!

In mid-March, the first thirteen-zhang three-tiered warship was built, and then the river near Guazhou was tested, and the speed was much higher than that of a vehicle ship with the same load. The 23 wings of the vehicle and the ship (the number of wingwheels installed in the vehicle and the ship are also limited by the length of the hull) are powered by 92 thighs, while the 174 wooden oars are driven by 348 arms, and the output between the two should be comparable. However, the technology of the 13th century could not create the high-efficiency transmission of later generations, and the wooden transmission system was too easy to wear out, which further weakened the efficiency of the transmission. So in the Southern Song Dynasty, the wooden oars that should have been eliminated by the wing wheels were once again on the warships of the Southern Song Dynasty naval army, and there were warships with wooden oars and wing wheels coexisting.

After the three-layer oared warship demonstrated its high speed, the work of building more three-layer paddle warships was in full swing, not only the Yangzhou shipyard started day and night, but also the Jiankang shipyard and Zhenjiang shipyard on the other side of the Yangtze River, which belonged to the Yangtze River Preparation and Construction Division, were also ordered to build three-layer paddle warships for the Sichuan River counter-current operation.

At the same time, Chen Dexing did not forget to carry out his "great plan to kill the Khan", and this time the magic weapon used to "murder" the Mongol Great Khan was the very common three-bow bed crossbow and a specially made giant arrow like a spear in the Great Song army!

Guazhou Daying Shooting Range.

An elaborate three-bow bed crossbow was laid flat on the ground, and the body of the crossbow was raised upwards, apparently to be thrown. The three-bow bed crossbow, also known as the eight-bull crossbow, was probably the longest-range weapon in the era of cold weapons. A well-made eight-bull crossbow can shoot at a distance of three or four hundred paces, and the farthest throw distance can reach a thousand steps, which is almost equivalent to 1,500 meters in later generations. However, shooting at such a distance, even a bed crossbow has reached the point of a strong crossbow, not only is the lethality greatly reduced, but it is also difficult to hit the target. Therefore, the distance at which the three-bow bed crossbow really shows its power on the battlefield is two or three hundred steps.

"Big brother, I've installed your instructions to build a giant arrow, let's see if it's suitable." Zeta, who was a blacksmith and was now in charge of the right army, handed Chen Dexing a giant arrow with a swarthy body in both hands. This giant arrow is very special, the first half of the arrow and the shaft are forged from wrought iron, the middle is hollow, which can be filled with gunpowder, and in the middle of the wrought iron shaft, there is also a small socket that can be inserted into the fuse. The back half of the shaft is made of hardwood, and the tail of the arrow is made of iron.
