232. Go to sea
For the name of this giant ship, Wu Zheng really couldn't help but want to complain, it was too embarrassing!
According to Hu Bo, this name was given by Emperor Zhao Ji, the emperor of Dahua, and this ship was the largest of the eight Shenzhou that left the factory together at that time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info But because of an accident, seven ships sank, and only this one survived. The ship is 100 meters long and moves like a mountain. Sailing on the sea is like a moving fortress, the head of the brocade crane and the dragon are subjugated!
Hu Bo instructed everyone to check the situation of Shenzhou, and everyone checked it and came to the conclusion that the ship was too broken to go to sea!
Xiong Zhuang pointed to a big hole in the wooden board and said with a bitter face: "I just pressed it lightly just now, and this wooden board collapsed directly, and it was already rotten at all!" Wu Zheng also pressed the plank, his brows locked, placed in a cold and damp environment all year round, the wood will definitely rot, even if it goes out to sea, once it hits the reef, it will definitely become pieces.
But Huber didn't care: "Don't look at its appearance, look at the inside!" He caressed the plank lovingly, "The keel inside is intact, and the outer layer of skin can be replaced!" As long as I have enough manpower and wood, I can get it back to the sea in a month at most! ”
Everyone was skeptical of Uncle Hu's words, only Wu Zheng nodded and said, "Uncle! I believe you! I'll give you the manpower, I'll find the wood for you, I only have one request! His eyes were full of anxiety and eagerness, "Let me get to Goryeo quickly!" ”
……
Countless torches illuminated the dark and damp cave, and hundreds of people were busy coming and going in and out of the cave. In the cave, surrounded by firelight, the huge hull was surrounded by countless wooden shelves that had been erected, and the workers were densely covered with ants on it.
Hundreds of logs are piled aside, and carpenters work them into usable timber according to the drawings, and saws and planers make a noise as they move back and forth on the wood. In the distance, a team of more than a dozen people shouted a loud trumpet and hoisted the hundred-pound wood on the ground into the air......
After more than half a month of repairs, Shenzhou was completely renewed, the rotten and broken wooden planks were removed and replaced, re-oiled, and the huge cloth sails were firmly tied to the mast. On the deck of three carriages, which could walk side by side, several freshly cast iron cannons were placed on both sides of the ship's side, which had been temporarily added at Wu Zheng's request.
The old Hu Bo looked at Shenzhou with tears rolling in his eyes, thirty years! Old friends, we can continue to swim the sea again!
Wu Zheng originally wanted to refuse Hu Bo's request to go to sea together, but seeing the desire flashing in Hu Bo's eyes and the support of his children and grandchildren, Wu Zheng had to nod and agree, but he knew in his heart that this would be the old man's last voyage. Returning to the roots, his long-cherished wish is to return to the sea and always be one with the sea.
At the mention of sailing, Huber seemed to be dozens of years younger, and under his training, a crew of 300 people grew rapidly, although he had no experience in actual sailing, but Huber made up for this deficiency with his rich experience.
On the other hand, in order to select the soldiers who went to sea to fight, a large-scale screening was carried out in Heishui Village. Those who are weak and sick are not recorded, those who have only children in the family are not recorded, and those who are reluctant are not recorded...... Not only that, all kinds of physical fitness tests and combat ability tests are extremely strict, and the slightest discrepancy will be eliminated.
Although the enthusiastic fighters signed up very enthusiastically, the registration books stacked on the table were also piled up like a hill, and there were even cases where some people lied about their personal information in order to be selected. However, under the extremely harsh selection conditions, the selected candidates are still very rare, and when the Shenzhou is completely repaired and can go to sea, it is barely full of 5,000 people.
But these five thousand people are definitely the elite of the elite!
Looking at the soldiers who were waving steel knives and throwing sweat on the training ground, the iron pillar sitting on the viewing platform sighed uncontrollably, and Jin Tong on the side patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Old Tie, why are you still not satisfied?" Your brigade has selected more than 100 people this time, which is much stronger than other brigades! If you are not satisfied, how will other people live? ”
Tie Zhu pursed his lips and said, "Who said that Lao Tzu is not satisfied, I just ......" After that, he sighed again, and said: "I just envy these brothers who can follow General Wu to fight at sea!" …… Lao Jin, we've fought hundreds of battles in the past few years, but we haven't fought with Jingou once! Right now, General Wu is about to lead his troops to attack the Jin Kingdom, but I can only watch with my eyes, do you think I can not be greedy? ”
Jin Tong also fell silent when he heard this, to be honest, he didn't want to go out with the army, but Wu Zheng had an order first: those who held positions above the level of deputy captain were not hired. The reason is that Heishui Village still needs veterans like them to guard, and Wu Zheng doesn't want a fire in the backyard.
"Okay, don't be unhappy, let's get drunk tonight! The day after tomorrow, let's see them off together! Jin Tong punched the iron pillar and said with a smile. As soon as he heard that someone was treating, Tie Zhu smiled a little, and he stood up and shouted to the soldiers on the training ground: "Give Lao Tzu a good practice!" Go to the battlefield and kill a few more golden dogs, and bring out Lao Tzu's share! ”
The warriors seemed to hear the roar of the iron pillar, and the steel sword swung more powerfully, and the sound of shouting and killing resounded in the sky!
……
Dozens of arm-thick hemp ropes were stretched straight under the pull of hundreds of people, and the sound of trumpets came out of the mouths of the shirtless men one after another. Under the blue sky, a behemoth that had been dormant in the cave for decades was slowly pulled out, and the newborn Shenzhou reappeared in front of the world.
After paying homage to the god of the sea, offering sacrifices, and facing the tens of thousands of people who came to see him off, Wu Zheng picked up the wine bowl. Behind him, five thousand strong men made the same action, raising their heads and drinking, and throwing their wine bowls away.
For this day, many people have been looking forward to it for a long time, and in order to avenge the blood feud of their relatives, they are eager to see through it. This day deserves to be remembered by everyone, and it can even be said that it will definitely go down in history. The once bullied Chinese have changed their former weakness, and they bravely take up their swords and guns to face the invaders, and they want to return double all the pain and humiliation inflicted on them by the enemy!
Hu Bo stepped forward tremblingly, bowed slightly to Wu Zheng, Wu Zheng supported him with both hands, Hu Bo straightened up and said, "Please General Wu give the name of Shenzhou!" Wu Zheng's gaze crossed the crowd and landed on the giant ship, at this moment his heart was surging, he felt as if he had changed from an unknown speck of dust to a bright and dazzling star in the sky, and the history here would leave his name, a name that the world would praise, Wu Zheng!
"The Jinren would never have expected that we would cross the strait and cross Goryeo and strike them in the heart, and we would make a black lightning bolt that would shatter their fangs and tear their hearts and lungs, and make them tremble at the sound of our name!"
Wu Zheng pulled out the long knife, the tip of the knife pointed to the sky, and it was radiant!
"Black electricity! It's called Black Electricity! ”
