【Chapter 110】Boating
Chai Jingliu said this very decisively, Yu Mochen listened to it, and said hurriedly, "How can you let you go on an adventure alone, if General Yuan knows, he will definitely not be ......."
Chai Jingliu waved his hand and said, "There are some responsibilities that must be borne by birth, and I believe that I can understand this truth by virtue of it." This time if I ...... If something happens, if there is anything that can't be overcome, I have to ask Xiaoyu to ......"
Yu Mochen listened very loudly, and shook his head vigorously, as if he wanted to shake Chai Jingliu's words out of his head. "Sister Jingliu, you and General Yuan are really 'too deceitful'." Yu Mojian's smile was playful and bitter, "You all asked me to take care of each other, why don't you live a good life and complete this matter yourself?" ”
Chai Jingliu was speechless for a while, looking at Yu Moji, unable to speak for a long time.
Yu Moji pinched his fingers and said, "That's it." I will finish the matter of assembling the empty shell ship as soon as possible. As for the ship under our feet...... she thought about it, and finally opened her mouth, "I also know that this ship has gathered a lot of your hard work, but when it is broken, it really can't be broken, and if it is destroyed, why should my sister take such a big risk herself?" ”
Chai Jingliu's eyes were a little wet, and he explained, "This ship is not only my hard work, but also the hard work of my father and ancestors, passed down from generation to generation. I will never abandon it until I have to; If I had to destroy this ship, I would have to self-destruct to thank my ancestors. She was puzzled when she saw Yu Mo's marks, so she said, "For us, the river and mountain ship is our life." Even if I refuse to go, the elders of the Chai clan will ask me to go. You may not understand...... Those of us who want to survive on the Jiayuan River must have some special rules. ”
Only then did Yu Mochen feel that it might not be a bad thing that he had no identity background.
The children of these families she knew had unspeakable suffering. Needless to say, Ling Ai, a girl who has always been keen on taking responsibility, Yan Zheng is so high-flying, but her ambition to go to the battlefield has been bound by her family for a long time, and Wei Linyuan even arranged her marriage at home.
These people have finally received a lot of help from their families, but Chai Jingliu, her background in the country and the mountains and mountains has brought countless troubles to herself and the capital of Yuan Zhizhi. is such a burden that can't be shaken off, and there are inheritance and responsibilities that she needs to bear.
On the contrary, it is the ink marks that are alone, and in comparison, it is really relaxed.
She couldn't think of a way to convince Chai Jingliu for a while, so she had to say, "Dealing with the matter of this big ship is not a top priority after all, we still have room to think of some other countermeasures." She had already made a plan, if Chai Jingliu had to escape from under the noses of the imperial army in such a large ship by herself, she would only use force to directly stun this delicate eldest lady. Her control of her muscles is quite precise now, and she will definitely not leave any sequelae for Chai Jingliu, the only concern is that Yuan Zhizhi may blame her - but compared to human life, Yuan Zhizhi's blame is not so difficult to accept.
Yu Mojin said, "What is really tricky now is to forcibly put together an empty shell ship. Now that my sister has made a decision, please show me all the drawings and models you used in the past as soon as possible. If I really have the ability to do it, I will definitely live up to your trust. ”
Chai Jingliu thanked him, and then took Yu Moji directly down to the depths of the dragon's heart, and asked the boat guard to tell Yu Moji how the big ship worked without those machines inside. Although the way the machine works is varied, it is always the same, and with the talent of touching the bypass of the ink marks, it will soon be all clear.
The shipmaster was overjoyed, and hurriedly presented Yuan Pingzhi's previous works and handed them over to Yu Moji for observation and analysis.
Time was urgent, and Yu Moji didn't bother to find a quiet place, so he stood directly in the noisy dragon's heart and went through those drawings quickly. Those concise lines and meticulous annotations are of great help to Yu Moji. Occasionally, if you don't understand something, take a look at those old models, and the ink marks will be clear. Strange to say, there are many places where these things, which are completely out of the country, coincide with the practice of the Cardinal. If it weren't for Chai Jingliu's words, these drawings and models would have looked a few years old, and Yu Moji would almost have thought that they were from Yuan Yuan's hand.
It didn't take her long to get the idea out of the drawing—it wasn't so much about building a big ship out of small boats, but rather about designing small boats from the parts of a big ship from the beginning.
This truth is really simple, and Yu Mojin gradually understood why whether it was an expert ship escort or a half-amateur Chai Jingliu, they all chose to believe in this ridiculous-sounding idea handed down by their predecessors.
She picked up the drawings and said to Chai Jingliu, "I wonder how many people my sister can allocate to me?" I'll have to go to the boat to see how long it will take. She thought for a moment, glanced at the drawings, and added, "If there are really no manpower, you don't have to worry. I'm coming by myself, and it will take up to five days, and that's fine. ”
Chai Jingliu immediately found two ship guards and instructed them to rely on Yu Moji's orders.
To sort out the veins of the small boats in the fleet, this manpower is really stretched. But Yu Moji also knew that this was probably all the people that Chai Jingliu could allocate to her now.
The imperial army's army was eyeing the shore, and it was not Chai Jingliu's family who was affected. The boats on the entire Jiayuan River and the nine surnamed people on the boats are afraid that everyone is in danger. The relationship between the nine surnames is quite complicated, and Chai Jingliu needs to do much more than what she told Yu Moji. Yu Mojian didn't want to get involved in these things that she was not capable of solving, so she secretly decided to do her best to help Chai Jingliu tide over the difficulties.
Besides, if Chai Jingliu really gave Yu Moji some more manpower, Yu Moji was not sure that he would be able to lead these people well. Although she already has a lot of experience, she has hardly led a team on her own. Every time Yu Mojin had any brilliant ideas, he first discussed them with Yuan Yizhi or Yan Zheng, and then these two generals who were quite authoritative in the army compiled an order to convey it, so as to achieve the desired effect.
Now to complete such a big project, although there are only two people under his hands, for Yu Moji, it saves a lot of trouble in communication.
When she got along with these two boat guards, she found that Chai Jingliu really had some eyes, and the two people she picked out for her, although they were not the most talented people among the boat guards, they were also very knowledgeable, hardworking and hardworking, and they had a good appetite for Yu Moji. Yu Mojian is more willing to communicate with assertive people on weekdays, and he is almost eager for different opinions. But at this juncture, what she needs most is this kind of person who is both obedient and willing to do things.
The three of them rowed their sampans, and went back and forth to inspect the small boat that had been demarcated by their predecessors. With the ink marks in her chest, she found a stack of mounted paper, and used the meticulous thinking she learned from Yuan Pingzhi to correspond the boats, models, and drawings one by one, and mark them. When she had done this, she took two more boat guards with her, and took advantage of the shadow of the big ship to dismantle the first small boat together.
These things were completed quite smoothly, but Yu Moji was still not at ease, so he decided to "sit idly by" again, watching the two ship guards independently complete the work of dismantling another small boat. Seeing that the process of the work of the two escort masters was fast and accurate, she relieved herself, turned her head and began to coordinate the overall work, dividing the area and order, so that the three of them could act separately; In addition, she also agreed with Chai Jingliu on the route of her main ship and other small boats, so as to cover their shady work.
By the evening of the third day, the small boats that could be used had been almost dismantled, except for the last two, because some of the servants had mistakenly transferred the goods on the large ships, and it would take some time to free them; The new big ship also has a prototype, but it is hidden near a reef that Chai Jingliu found in the middle of the river, and it is hidden from people. Yu Moji barely had time to take a nap for three days in a row, and he was slightly relieved to see such results; However, before she could finish her breath, she suddenly heard a few "booms", and when she turned her head, she was almost blinded by the light of the fire that was not far away.
After all, Yu Mozhen is a person who has been on the battlefield, and no matter how slow she reacts, when she hears this voice, she also knows what the situation is.
This is the sound of long-range shells hitting the hull of a ship.
These few shots instantly knocked Yu Moji a little stunned.
In the past few days, although her main energy has been on dismantling and loading ships, she has also been paying attention to the information coming from the big ship at any time. She hadn't heard anything special about it, only that the Imperial Army and the Jiangshan Ship were still in a stalemate stage, and there would be no danger for a while. Clinker, the imperial court has not even sent someone to verify the secret storage of Chitose gold on the Jiangshan ship, and the cannonball has already been discharged.
She didn't know what the truth was, but she knew that even if she wanted to be reasonable, the people in the boat would definitely not be able to talk about the court. It's just that I don't know if this confrontation, whose ship was hit by this shot, and whether it will affect Chai Jingliu.
Yu Moji was trying to judge the situation, and one of the escort masters who had been following her for the past few days, the one named Chai Mu, had already swam from the water. He seemed to be in a hurry, almost swimming as fast as he could, even faster than when he was paddling a small sampan. As soon as he rolled out of the water, he told Yu Moji that the last boat was gone.
Yu Moji wondered, "Could it be that the shot just now hit our ship?" She was worried that there was not much time left for Chai Jingliu, could it be that Chai Jingliu's fleet had become the target of the imperial army?
"Not really...... Not for our ship. Chai Mu choked up and explained, "Someone came to check before, and found the boat of the third young master of the Qiu family, and I don't know why there was a conflict. When our young lady saw it before, she said that the main ship of the third young master of Qiu probably wanted to run away, but I don't know what was going on, and it actually fled in our direction. ”
Yu Mojin held his head and said, "Could it be that those cannons were all aimed at the Qiu family, but they just accidentally damaged our boat?" ”
Chai Mu nodded and said, "I guess so." I'm afraid our young lady hasn't had time to send someone to negotiate with the people of the Qiu family. I was busy tossing my one, and as soon as I raised my eyes, I saw several rounds of artillery coming in a row, not only did Young Master Qiu's boatload of people blow up to ashes, but our small boat at the end was also blown and sunk. ”
Yu Mochen heard it loudly, and the nine surnames of the country and the mountains were known as the same qi and branches, but they really couldn't escape the fate of being in trouble. She pressed her aching head hard and said, "Where's the firewood?" He...... Are you still alive? Chai Fei was the other boat escort who followed her.
"I don't know." Chai Mo heard Yu Mojian ask, and his tears became more and more uncontrollable, "Chai Mo said that he was going to drive the ship over, so he must be in the bilge." Yu Mochen heard that his scalp exploded, and sure enough, he heard Chai Mu answer, "The girl also knows that when the ship was sunk, the people in the bilge were the most difficult to escape!" ”
