Shipbuilding is a delicate job, and you can't rush it. In the afternoon of the same day, Deng She led Hong Jixun and others to the beach to find a suitable place where a dock could be built.

It has been two or three months since he entered Goryeo, and this is the first time he has come to the seaside. As far as the eye can see, the salty and wet sea breeze blows in the face, carrying a coolness. As far as the eye can see, seabirds fly low and sea fish leap into the water. The soldiers stationed in the local fishing village led the way, walked past several salt farms and fishing farms, visited several places along the way, and finally turned to a bay that was sunken inward.

There are a number of bays along the coast, and this one is the best in comparison. It's big enough, the water isn't deep, and there aren't any big reefs. Not only is it smooth, but it is also convenient for defense. There is a small fishing village not far from the shore; Across the sea, it can be seen that one of the three islands occupied, the distance is only a dozen miles.

Deng She liked this bay very much, consulted Hong Jixun and others, and unanimously praised it.

When I asked the name of the island, I was awkward in Goryeo, and it didn't mean much when translated into Chinese. Deng She said casually: "Since the dockyard is set here, the name of the island has been changed." ”

Luo Guoqi is the designated shipbuilder of thousands of households, following the side, he made fun of it, and said: "Goryeo is an ordinary island, if it can be won by the general himself, it will be famous in Haidong." Please name the general. ”

Deng She thought about it for a while, he had no literary talent, and he couldn't think of a good name. After all, this is a great development from a single arm to a combination of land and water, and unwilling to be crowned with a mediocre name, look at the shape of the island, quite like a frog, suddenly remembered a poem, seems to be borrowed, said, "I see the shape of this island like a frog, so it is called Frog Island." ”

Luo Guoqi had already prepared a basket of good words waiting to be poured out, but he didn't expect Deng She to give such a name, which was ordinary and unspeakable. He has no talent, not like Wu Henian, and he can blow a flower on the cow dung pile, so he has no choice, racks his brains, and holds two sentences dryly, saying: "Good name, good name." In the name of the form, the ancients of the general deep knaming the knaming of things. So, what should be the name of the dock? ”

Under the endless blue sky, there is an endless blue sea. The sea breeze rolls and the waves rise and fall in the distance. The nearby tide crackled against the protruding shore. After a few months, from the end of the road to the domination of Guanbei, the fierce generals under his command are like tigers, and the ministers are wise, expanding the land of ten cities, and sitting on tens of thousands of elite soldiers.

Just like the waves, Deng She couldn't help but feel excited, and said: "It can be called a tiger." ”

One frog and one tiger, the contrast is too great, Luo Guoqi didn't come back to his senses, Hong Jixun clapped his hands and praised: "The frog is squatting like a tiger, the general is so ambitious and ambitious!" He shook his head again and again, "Good name, good name." ”

Deng She laughed, but refused to read out the whole poem of the frog, and only said: "The location is selected, and when the shipwrights are gathered and Luo Qianhu is gathered, he will hurry up and start building a dock, a shipbuilding platform, and a ship model." "A ship model is a ship model.

As he spoke, Deng She ascended to the high ground on the shore, looked around, and instructed Luo Guoqi: "The dock is heavy, and it needs to be closely guarded. Mobilize two hundred-man teams to replenish Frog Island,...... All the fishermen from the small fishing village in the back were moved elsewhere, and 500 people were transferred to garrison them. Twenty miles nearby, fishing grounds and salt farms are prohibited, and they are included in the military forbidden land. The guards and guards are all in charge of your headquarters. ”

Luo Guoqi is awe-inspiring. After entering Goryeo, the development situation was getting better day by day, and his original little idea of being afraid of danger and returning to Shandong had already been thrown out of the clouds.

Everyone wants to be promoted and make a fortune, and in just a few days, he has become a veritable thousand-household. In the red scarves of Liaodong, there are often at most seven or eight hundred people in charge of thousands of households, and after repeated expansions, there are nearly two thousand people under his hands.

In addition, Deng She is generous, never stingy with rewards, although the military discipline is relatively strict, can not be wantonly broken and plundered, but if there is capture, except for the military use, will be rewarded for meritorious deeds. White silver, black eyes, who doesn't like it? There is only one fly in the ointment, seeing Hong Jixun and Wu Henian praising their clothes every day, they can't help but blush. He Luo is a national weapon, but he also came out of reading the books of sages!

Everything is inferior, only reading is high. He was forced to be this general, and one day, if he could be like the two of them, abandon martial arts and follow the text, like Jian Wusha, he would really be satisfied with people's wishes.

But he didn't know it was time yet. First, there are not enough experienced generals in the army, and Deng She will not let him follow the text; The two have not yet achieved an absolute advantage over Goryeo, and he is not sure what the follow-up development will be. has been in the troubled times for a long time, and he has a deeper understanding than anyone else: scholars are not as good as martial artists after all.

Dunshe and the others circled the bay again, and carefully surveyed it. Hong Jixun has a family education, and put forward a few things that need to be paid attention to when building a dock, and Luo Guoqi wrote them down one by one.

The ancients said: "Pre-establishment is established", dock and shipbuilding are arranged; The next step is to choose the sailors. The water army is only built, and there is no experience in all aspects, and the scale cannot be large. Several people discussed it for a while and decided to use 5,000 people as the upper limit.

Most of the soldiers had no experience in water warfare, so they tried to select the natives along the coast and near the river, plus some Jurchens who were good at using water; Among the Han veterans, there are also some who can row. In order to maintain the purity of the army, Deng She set the rule that the number of Li soldiers and Jurchens should not exceed 20%.

The number of sailors is set, which directly affects the size of the ship. A large flat-bottomed boat with a load of thousands of stones, Deng She estimated that the shipwrights would not be able to build it, and he would not use it if he built it, so he simply did not build it. As long as it is small, it can carry dozens or hundreds of people.

And he was on the shore of the bay and finished discussing the business. Outline the charter clearly, and the rest depends on Luo Guoqi.

Deng She had never seen the sea, and it was rare to be interested, and he climbed high and looked into the distance, breathing in the clear air, and felt relaxed and happy. Hong Jixun's local aborigines, this sea is used to seeing since childhood, facing the sea breeze, shaking a fan, and giving him guidance to introduce beautiful scenery.

His original fan was broken, replaced with a new one, and between opening and closing, Deng She glimpsed two inscriptions written on it, saying that "the dragon dives in winter, and the phoenix rises in summer". He didn't know that these were the two sentences in the "Fan Ming" made by the Han Fu Yi, but it did not prevent him from experiencing the ambition in it, and said with a smile: "As the so-called outstanding people, only such a vast ocean can be worthy of Mr. Hong's world-class talent." ”

Hong Jixun said with a smile: "Although Xiao Ke rarely enters the Central Plains, I have also heard that there are many mountains and little water. There is a way that the benevolent love the mountain, the general enters Goryeo, the benevolent people love things, but the stubborn stone can be moved, is it also from the beginning? ”

The lord sang and enjoyed it. The crowd watched for a long time, and it was getting late, so they returned to the city. According to the custom, when there is nothing to do, every three days, Deng She will have a banquet for the generals in the army, and today is just in time.

set up a banquet and asked someone to invite Yao Haogu, Qian Shide, Tong Doulan and several patriarchs of small Jurchen tribes to persuade them to drink until late at night. It was just gone.

Back in the pavilion, Deng She drank fifty or sixty percent of the wine, and was a little drunk. Luo Guannu waited for him to wash his face, and when he caught a glimpse of the gift list sent by Wu Henian on the case, he remembered that Mrs. Wang was leaving tomorrow, and he couldn't help but think a little strangely.

It's not about love, it's pure love. It's a shame to say that he hasn't eaten a fishy cat, but since Fengzhou, the military aircraft is handsome, and he hasn't tasted meat for several months.

Mrs. Wang's first-class beauty, and full of moisture, has been a wife for a long time, like a ripe peach, fragrant but not greasy, beautiful and charming, so take the initiative to give embrace, nephrite warm and fragrant style, non-insiders can not know. He couldn't get prepared at the time, he didn't feel much, and when he thought about it afterwards, his heart was inevitably beating.

After thinking about it for a while, I was a little unable to control it because of the strength of the wine.

As soon as he was distracted, he couldn't take care of Luo Guannu, who was loosening his clothes. The little girl stretched out her arms, but could not reach his collar, and did not dare to disturb him, so she had to hold her breath and stand on her tiptoes. Accidentally, her center of gravity was unstable, Deng She was old, and he reacted subconsciously and reached out to hold her.

The hand was soft and tender, and he looked down, but it was Luo Guannu's small hands. Looking at Luo Guannu again, she was taken aback, and her delicate face turned red in shyness.

The little girl is in love for the first time, and in this environment, she has to be precocious if she is not precocious, and when she is in a wide dress, she is suddenly held by her hand and hesitates for a while. wanted to withdraw it, afraid that Deng She would be angry, she hung her head timidly.

Looking down from her line of sight, I saw that although she was young, her breasts were already slightly bulging. The close-fitting white dress is short and narrow, which can't hide the immature flesh, can't be called curvy, and has its own youthful charm.

Luo Guannu lowered his head, he could still feel his gaze, and there was a deer in his heart, but he felt hot all over, more and more shy, and two smears of red stained through his earlobes. Mrs. Wang once said: Small has a small flavor. Deng She looked at her delicate and lovely neck, smelled her sweet body fragrance, and gradually couldn't bear it.

In the end, Luo Guannu was too young, and Deng She had a psychological disorder, so he simply raised her head, and then stood, squatting in front of her, waiting with her small hands to take out the murder weapon, and motioned for her to put it in her mouth.

Poor Luo Guannu went through such a battle, and he trembled with fear. She plucked up her courage, looked up at her child's face, and asked, "Daddy, how do you get slaves?" ”

Usually it's nothing, but now it's a scene of obscenity, her title caused Deng She's heart to move, and asked, "What do you call me?" ”

Luo Guannu was at a loss, remembering the reprimand he received yesterday, he hurriedly changed his words obediently, and said, "Dear father." ”

It adds fuel to the fire. Deng She pointed slightly, Luo Guannu plucked up his courage, opened his small mouth, swallowed * into his mouth, and slowly entered the port from rustiness. Her mouth was small and her work was big, and she was slight, and her initial fear passed, but as time passed, curiosity prevailed. Seeing her kneeling on the ground, her face raised, a pair of big eyes like crystals, and secretly glanced at Deng She's eyes from time to time. Occasionally, he looked at each other, and then hurriedly turned away.

Deng Shexin said: "Shaoyan is childish, and it really has some fun." Gradually getting better, suddenly it was itchy and unbearable, and I couldn't help but hold down her head, and asked again, "What do you call me?" Luo Guannu replied with a whining: "Dear father." "Scream again." "Daddy."

Deng She suddenly let out a sigh of relief. Luo Guannu ate it cleanly, she didn't know what it was, she was frightened, she didn't dare to vomit, and swallowed it little by little.

Deng She knew that it was her first time, took pity on her young age, took a towel, helped her wipe the marks on her face and lips, and asked her to clean up herself, and chatted a few words gently. Luo Guan's slave was only thirteen or fourteen years old, he didn't understand the personnel, and he was ignorant of the relationship between men and women, but he was comforted by Deng She, and gradually stopped panicking.

She obediently served Deng She to sleep, and before leaving, she suddenly turned around, and the little girl ran back to Deng She's bed, and whispered: "Daddy, it's not like what my mother said, don't worry, the slave doesn't hurt at all." After a moment's hesitation, he added, "It's just something that spit out, it's not very tasty." She was so delicate that she made Deng She laugh.

Nothing was said all night. Early the next morning, Deng She personally led the team to the hospital where Mrs. Wang was hospitalized and picked her up. Those who came to see him off, not only the military generals, but also the civil ministers. Mrs. Wang didn't talk much, everyone couldn't see anywhere, and they couldn't help but linger in their eyes, and they couldn't leave Deng She an inch.

The selected escort soldiers, Chen Zhe and Ren Zhonghou were the leaders, led the mounts, and lined up neatly in the courtyard. Deng She prepared two carriages, lifted the curtain on one of them, and invited Madame Wang to get into the carriage. The other is used to carry gifts and dry food. There was no maid to serve on the road, so I called Mrs. Wang to accompany her.

Because she had to travel a long distance, Mrs. Wang had an experience, she didn't wear a skirt, she simply changed into men's clothes, which was refreshing and handsome. It's just that her eyes are a little swollen, and it is estimated that she has been quietly crying in the past few days, and her eye circles have also darkened.

The carriage was high, and the parting was imminent, and her heart was fluttering, and she didn't step on it at once. Deng She hurriedly went to hold it, she took advantage of the situation to shake Deng She's hand, and quickly retracted it. Deng She was stunned, feeling that there was something more in his hand, and he didn't want others to see it, so he quietly put it in his sleeve.

The soldier opened the door of the mansion, and Deng Shechang shook it to the end and said, "The lady is going, the road is long." Although the last general can't send it in person, please rest assured that Chen Zhe and Ren Zhonghou, the two of them, are the cadres of our army, and they know the road, and they will be able to send the lady safely. ”

Mrs. Wang's eyes were red, and after seeing a farewell, the mountains and rivers blocked the wild goose, and the ruler was difficult to reach. She knew the words and said in a low voice: "General, this past year should be a good day and a good time." The slave has you in his heart, looking forward to you, and he can always have a slave in his heart. ”

The words came out of her mouth, her heart ached, she didn't wait for Deng She to answer, she reached out and lowered the curtain, and a faint sobbing came into his ears.

Not only did Deng She hear it, Yao Haogu had a different status, and he was the closest, he also heard it. What does it mean to choke at parting? No matter how stupid you are, you can guess it. He looked strange, looked at Deng She, and said, "General? ”

Deng She secretly screamed that it was not good, and suddenly felt troubled. Some things are getting darker and darker, pretending not to know, he turned around and said to Hong Jixun and others: "The lady is traveling far away, I can't help but send it." As for you, you have important military and political matters, you can't delay, your mind is enough, and the lady won't be surprised, so let's disperse. ”

Wen Huaguo and Luo Guoqi came to send, and Deng She, who was rushing, was indeed busy, and since he had responded to the scene, he said goodbye one after another. Yao Haogu gritted his teeth, hehe said twice, didn't say anything more, and left with everyone.

Only Hong Jixun was left, and it was rare for him to offer to accompany Deng She. Everyone got on the horse and left the house, and Deng She sent it out of the city thirty miles away, but Mrs. Wang was still in a strong spirit, knowing that he was busy, and did not want him to be tired of rushing back and forth, so she offered not to send it.

Sending you a thousand miles must be goodbye in the end, Deng She was not polite, and instructed Chen Zhe and Ren Zhonghou to return to the city.

On the way back to the city, Hong Jixun was silent. Deng She was surprised and asked, "Sir, has something on his mind?" Do you dare to see the lady go to Shandong for a family reunion and think of her relatives in Dadu? ”

Hong Jixun woke up and said, "Relatives in Dadu? Xiao Ke's uncles who recognize thieves as fathers, what can they think? He looked at Deng She's face and said with a smile: "It's the general, today's complexion is very different from the past." The face is full of red light, which is quite a bit of yin and yang. Could it be last night? ”

Deng She touched his face, where did the yin and yang come from, the effect would be so obvious? Hong Jixun laughed, he came to his senses, but he was joking, and he couldn't help laughing. Slightly surprised, Hong Jixun has an arrogant temperament, but he has never joked with him.

In any case, as long as Ren Zhonghou can take advantage of the situation to connect with Shandong, it will always be helpful for future development. It's a big deal.

The wheat fields in July are the same day by day, and after a few days of absence, the ears of wheat seem to be much heavier. Along the way, in the villages, you can occasionally see civil officials wearing official clothes shuttling among them, and the garrison soldiers in the village gather the villagers in batches, chickens and dogs jumping, thinking that they are carrying out the reorganization of cooperatives.

Wu Henian is quite efficient, and some villages have been reorganized, but in comparison, it is much quieter. Deng She and Hong Jixun looked all the way, from noisy and quiet, horses' hooves, passing by a small river, in the shadow of the green trees, several Goryeo women with bare legs, washing clothes in the river, beating with mallets, and drying the washed stones on the riverside stones. They only cared about laughing and laughing, and didn't pay attention to Deng She's arrival.

There are few people and horses, and they only ride in four or five, and they pass by in a flash. Hong Jixun sighed: "The war has only been a few months, and the countryside is peaceful and comfortable. This is all the work of the general. ”

On the mountain in the distance, the bell in the temple was faint, Deng She raised his eyes and looked around, aroused his sorrow, sighed, and said, "What do I do?" Manager Wu said a few days ago that due to the severance of trade routes, there was a shortage of clothes and medicines in the city. I'm exhausted, and I can't do anything. ”

Hong Jixun nodded yes and said: "The trade route must be opened, the general wants to go south to plunder, the method is good, it is not a long-term plan, according to Xiao Ke, it is difficult to quench the thirst." The general also knew that opening up a dock, building a ship, and forming a naval army were not overnight. ”

It can't quench the thirst of the near and far, and it is not a long-term plan, even if it is far and near. The tone of his words was obviously unimpressed with Deng She's response to the plundering of the south, since he didn't think so, why didn't he oppose it when he proposed to build a naval army? Deng She was strange and said, "What do you mean, sir?" ”

"The navy must be built, and the trade route must be opened. These two are Ding and Mao are Mao, but they are not the same thing. ”

Hong Jixun listened to Deng She's proposal at that time, so he had other considerations for building a water army, he was not familiar with it at the time, he didn't speak, he went back and thought about it all night, and he thought about it all night, and he felt that it was safe, so he said: "The benefits of the water army are not at the moment, so I am not in a hurry to say it." Let's talk about this trade route first, Xiao Ke has been thinking about it for a long time, going to southern Liaoning and going to Pyongyang are all expedient measures, and petty fights will not play much role in our twin cities. There is only one way to solve the problem once and for all. ”

Deng She vaguely guessed and asked, "What way?" ”

"Does the general still remember the day before yesterday, the Shen family slave that Chen Zhe brought back, named Tian Boren? He said a word, I don't know if the general remembers? ”

Of course, Deng She remembered and said, "Sir, did you mean that Tian Boren said that there were many merchant ships from Zhejiang Province sailing to Pyongyang?" ”

"Exactly. If Pyongyang is obtained, the business road can be solved. ”

Dunshe frowned, after the discussion, he had thought about this question. Said: "Our army only got Tokugawa, and after entering Goryeo for several months, there were battles almost every day, and the soldiers could not rest. Sir, even if I have this in mind, I am worried about ......"

"Is the general's worry about asking for too much success?"

"It's okay if you don't succeed, once you lose, our army will have many new soldiers and few old soldiers, and if you haven't gone through too much tempering, you will move the hearts of the army. The army's heart moved, and the twin cities were unstable. ”

"How can you lose? The general is too worried. Hong Jixun was basked and said, "The general only thought about himself, not about Goryeo." If we attack Pyongyang, we will have three victories, and Goryeo will have three defeats. ”

"Oh?" Deng Sheda was interested.

"First, our army has won many victories and has high morale, and this one will win, which can be called the victory of the road; Goryeo was defeated repeatedly, morale was low, and the division was scattered, one of which was bound to be defeated. "In the final analysis, fighting a war is people-oriented, and morale comes first.

"Second, the general will come to the cities, divide the land widely, and remove the people from the untouchables, so that the poor will get their benefits, and the lowly will get their names, and the people will have fame and fortune, that is, they will have the heart to fight. The people of Goryeo have been devastated, the wealthy have thousands of acres of fertile land, the poor cannot stand up, the rich are angry, and the sluts shed blood for five steps.

"Third, Wen and Chen generals, brave and unacceptable, break the army and kill the generals, rout the people and seize the land, as if it were ordinary, watch my generals, know my pawn, these three will win, can be called a victory; Goryeo Qing Qianxing, the leader of Pyongyang, is now a prisoner of the rank of general, Kim Depei, his deputy, several times defeated under the general, and most of the soldiers in the northern cities are southern pariahs, who are not willing to join the army, and have no heart to fight and dare to die.

"I have three wins, and he has three defeats. Xiao Ke asserted that Pyongyang will fight a battle, and I will succeed and return. ”

It makes sense. But: "If I go out, what if Wang Jing sends reinforcements?" ”

"Wang Jing wants to send reinforcements, but there are only two ways. Either Dingzhou, encircle Wei to save Zhao, and go straight to Huanglong; Either go to Pyongyang and urge me to fight a decisive battle. If it settles the state, I will have to have a muddy river and a natural danger today, and 3,000 people will be enough to hold the main road. If it goes to Pyongyang, our Dingzhou army can follow it, harass it, and cut off its food routes; And Tokugawa to Pyongyang, along the Taedong River valley, there is almost no danger, you can advance or retreat, and the attack and defense are in the general. ”

Hong Jixun paused, and then said: "Li Chao is old, and his efficiency is not as good as that of a general. Li Yan was newly defeated, and then reorganized the army and horses, gathered grain and grass, and it was difficult to go out in less than half a month and a half. Wang Jing is far away from Pyongyang, the general will strike first, and when it arrives, I am afraid that it will already be successful! "In connection with the situation in Liaodong, he said, "The spy said that the situation in Liaoyang is getting tighter and tighter, and Guan Duo can't make a move, even if it is not a trade route, the general should take this opportunity to get more cities." Once Pyongyang is in hand, general, the situation in Goryeo will change. ”

After taking Pyongyang and opening up the east and west, the northern part of Goryeo was integrated, and Guan Duo could not immediately go south, and in three or two months, Deng She would be able to run another piece of the world, and his strength would rise to a new level. Of course, he will not be arrogant to think that he will be able to compete with Guan Duo at this point, and if he takes 10,000 steps back, at that time, he can also give up Pyongyang generously, and it is still possible to exchange this big fat meat for Guan Duo to recognize his right to rule Tokugawa and other places.

Hong Jixun's rhetoric dispelled Deng She's hesitation, and he pondered for a while and agreed to attack Pyongyang.

Hong Jixun, who solved the business road and formed a naval army, had not yet said, Deng She asked, and he said: "Occupy Pyongyang, it can be speculated that the Koreans will have two reactions." Or come to make peace, or pour out the nest to attack. Don't mention it, if he comes to attack, the navy will use it. I could have taken the sea road, thinking that he was a surprise soldier, and plundered the southern part of it, so that he could not take care of his head and tail, and he was too busy to take care of himself.

"At the same time, with Pyongyang's access to the sea, in terms of trade and transportation, Panhai Shandong and Zhejiang are also inseparable from sea vessels."

But it's thinking long-term. Having said that, if you can't get to Pyongyang, it's useless to think far. Deng She smiled and said, "Since this is the case, when I return to the city, I will gather the generals and discuss the details." ”

——

1. Ship model.

Zhang Zhongyan of the Jin Dynasty recorded the process of building a model of a ship with a preemptive ship, "hand-made boats, only a few inches of ,......". From this, it can be traced back to the Qin and Han dynasties, and the wooden and pottery ship Ming vessels found in the Han tombs several times are similar to ship models.

2. Dock and shipbuilding platform.

In the Song Dynasty, there was a large dock of Huang Huaixin to repair the big ship, and in the Ming Dynasty, there were records such as "the dock was undocked on the 25th, and the dock was the place where the ship was built".

The discovery of the ruins of the Qin and Han shipyards in Guangzhou is more than enough to prove that in history, Chinese shipbuilders used slipways to build ships and use slipways to launch ships.

3. A flat-bottomed boat that can carry thousands of stones.

That is, the sand boats of the Ming and Qing dynasties. At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the weight of a large ship was no more than 1,000 stones, and the weight of a small boat was no more than 300 stones. After more than 30 years of development, Yanyou has 8,900 stone for large ships and more than 2,000 stone for small boats, with a load of 300 to 1,200 tons.

Early seagoing vessels, "Chinese ships are divided into three categories,...... The big one has ten sails, at least three sails. …… Each of the great ships served a thousand men: six hundred seamen and four hundred warriors, including archers and shield-bearers, and oil bomb-wielding warriors. ……”

4, Fan Ming.

Dancing and round, the breeze is blowing. The gentleman's jade body depends on his health. In winter, the dragon dives, and in summer, the phoenix rises. Know how to advance and retreat, and come from at any time.
