After the fire in the palace, the fourth child worshipped, and then returned to the auspicious collar.

On October 5th, the cricket and his party arrived at the Xishan Collar smoothly, and the Sun family who received the news was naturally a warm hospitality, and everything must be bowed to himself, which made the auspicious people very uncomfortable, and there was always a feeling that the weasel gave the chicken a New Year's greeting. The identities of the two princesses are still kept secret, not because they can't trust the Sun family, but because they can't trust Xishan's intelligence network.

At the dinner that day, Sun and the Minister of Military Affairs of Xishan received the wind and washed the dust for everyone.

"All the auspicious distinguished guests, Sun is honored to be able to take time out of his busy schedule to be a guest in Xishan. Although everyone who comes is a guest, Sun hopes that you can treat Xishan as auspicious, everything is casual and casual. These are auspicious dishes, and they are also auspicious practices, so you can taste them to see if they are authentic. Sun was full of smiles, and while persuading him to drink, he introduced the ministers of Xishan by the way.

Although the cricket does not like to socialize, under the deliberate foil of the Sun family, he drank a lot, and the guests and hosts enjoyed a meal. After a full day's rest, the guide of Xishan will take everyone to visit the local attractions, all as a tour.

The first batch of the Jixiang Navy plans to build a total of six warships, including four warships and two supply ships. Now the construction of two warships and one supply ship has been completed, costing a total of 20,000 gold coins. For the Navy's orders, the technicians of the Lyuin shipyard were almost completely emptied.

Admiralty.

Zhao Qiang and a group of generals are holding a military meeting.

"The application for tomorrow's sea trial exercise has been approved by the Lord, and the first batch of the three warships to leave the port for testing are the Jijia battleship and the Jizi supply ship, and the supplies must be loaded on the ship today. Zhao Qiang's deep voice sounded in the conference room.

"Now I declare ......"

All the generals stood up and stood upright.

"With the approval of the auspicious lord, Da Gaoqiang was appointed as the first commander of the Jixiang River Fleet, Song Feng was the captain of the Jijia ship, and Zhongbo was the captain of the Jizi ship. ”

On the sixth day, the sky was beautiful, the sky was cloudless, and the lake was calm.

Giga.

"Yang Fan, anchor. ”

As the command from the conning tower was given, the sailors were busy in an orderly manner, and the huge iron anchor was retracted by the winch in circles. As the sails gradually rise, the sails are puffed up by the wind, and the lookout is already in position at the watchtower, and the flag informs the lake information.

"Left rudder five, paddle wheel start, slight speed. "The microphone clearly came the command of the captain of the command tower.

"Left rudder five, paddle wheel start, slight speed. ”

The Jijia and Jizi ships left the port one after another, and gradually walked away with the dancing of a group of white handkerchiefs on the shore.

"It's still a big ship, it's very stable. ”

"I'm really looking forward to meeting the bandits, and our brothers can practice their hands. ”

"Hey, if you can think like that tomorrow, I admire you. "The boatswain said.

"Cut, isn't it just training, when did our old Liu be afraid. ”

As soon as the words fell, a hurried bell rang, it was a battle alarm, and for a time the deck was full of chickens and dogs.

"Full sails, full speed ahead. ”

"Full sails, full speed ahead. The commander below deck repeated.

On deck, the sailors struggled to fill the sails in an arc of the wind, and below deck, nearly forty people were pushing the turntable at full speed, transmitting the force to the side of the paddle wheel, driving it to turn rapidly.

After about a quarter of an hour, the sailors who operated the paddle wheel began to rotate, and the lookouts reported the situation around in time.

This rotation was done four times, and it was almost noon.

Behind the firing holes on both sides of the ship, the crossbowmen were in a firing position, ready for orders, and the bow and stern throwing carts were ready, and the large iron-clad 'grenades' were ready to fire.

"Starboard ready, fifty steps in the middle of the right front, put!"

The sound was transmitted to starboard through the microphone, and the crossbowmen struggled to maintain the balance of the crossbow body with their soreness arms, and after receiving the fire order from the commander on the scene, they pulled the trigger one after another. After a 'whoosh' sound, the co-shooter handed over the new crossbow with the good arrows. This is repeated ten times, and the deputy crossbowman and crossbowman rotate positions, and so on ten times.

The long-range shells fell one after another around the target area, and then there was a loud noise, and the target water surface gradually rose to a high splash, and the gun commander corrected the angle and position of the projectile from time to time.

After two rounds of this, the bomb was replaced with a training projectile, which was a stone projectile of similar size and mass. After another five rounds, the toss stopped.

The melee crossbowmen began to reload their arrows, with the main shooter reloading and the secondary shooter dismantling, and then the secondary shooter reloading and the main shooter dismantling, and then repeating five sets of 100 arrows each.

The medical team repeatedly shuttled between the deck and the cabin, carrying the 'wounded' into the emergency room on stretchers. According to the emergency regulations, the doctor diagnoses the 'wounded' one by one according to the process, fills out the treatment card, and sends it to the room corresponding to the injury. The nurse prepares the corresponding equipment according to the description of the treatment card for later use.

According to the instructions, the sail group repeatedly raises and lowers the sails, sometimes one sail, sometimes three sails, all of which are continuous operations.

......

After half a day, except for the generals in the command room, the rest, including the chef and the damage management team, all drooped their heads like frosted eggplants, and never stood when they could sit, and never sat down if they could lie down.

Lao Liu, the sailor who was looking forward to meeting the bandits, was lying on the side of the boat at the moment and kept vomiting. The boatswain was assessing the combat strength of the sailors, and when he saw this, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Do you still want to meet the bandits?"

Lao Liu had the heart to pretend to be garlic with the boatswain, holding the railing with one hand and covering his abdomen with the other, swaying between vomiting and not spitting.

The food on the ship is really good, there are fish, meat and vegetables, the window self-service mode is adopted, the meals are unlimited, but not wasted, and it is found to be punished.

Night navigation is the most test of the quality of personnel training, not only to test the ability of the lookout, but also to test the timeliness of information transmission.

During the departure period, the first group will carry out night navigation tasks, and the second group will carry out the tasks when returning to port, and this mission should ensure that all the crew members, including the trainees, can receive actual combat training and train command personnel for the new warships in the future.

However, it is said that after the six sons of the same wind and strong wisdom turned to Hexi, they went to Xishanling along the trail, and when the rest of the fleet carrying livestock passed through Chen's territory, they left two boats of nearly 100 sheep. This place is no longer under the jurisdiction of the royal capital, and the relationship between the two sides is well known, as long as it is not too much, they will turn a blind eye to each other.

Liu Liu, commander of the engineering corps, signed to receive the animals, which will be used as meat for the wounded. Then Liu Liu wrote a letter and asked the caravan to transfer it to Wang Xuan on his behalf.

The Chen family and the Donghe family are envious, and the auspiciousness of the people is the pride, and the livestock are calculated according to the boat.

"Brother, blessed are the wounded soldiers. "The front line is defending the city, sword axe, and jarate.

"Yes, you said that before the auspicious man came, most of the injured people would not survive; as soon as the auspicious doctor arrived, hey, the scar was so badly healed, it was really his grandmother's magic, and he couldn't accept it. Another pikeman sighed.

"Well, it's just those utensils, and what kind of alcohol is really so amazing? I once saw them pull our heads open in the chest, just to take out that arrow, and it was bloody and scary to watch. After the arrow was taken out, the doctor washed the wound with the alcohol, and sewed it with a needle, so that he could walk on the ground after three days, which is really strange. "Axe Jarate.

"Who said no, the brothers who are defending the city now, who are still afraid of any nagging arrows, as long as they can't hit the vital point, it's hard to die. Recently, the offensive on the opposite side has been a lot weaker, and I am afraid of our death. The pikeman said.

"Hehe, I'm just hungry for that mutton, I don't know if we can share it. The axe hand, as he spoke, unconsciously drooled from the corner of his mouth, causing a burst of ridicule from the pikemen on the other side.

When the six sons arrived at Xishan Ling, it was the eighth day of October, and the crickets and others were lazily basking in the sun in the yard after playing, and the princesses were doing female red in the room, and they couldn't see whether the embroidery was a mandarin duck or a wild duck.

"Sixth brother, is it going well?" the cricket stepped forward and hugged the sixth son, and slapped his left shoulder.

"It's going better than expected, and the tail is lost by itself, otherwise you have to do something to do, you're okay. Liuzi laughed.

"We don't have anything, it's just that those two have been wronged. The cricket gestured to the back house with his eyes, and the sixth son nodded in understanding. Then he let the child into the backyard, and from time to time there was a faint sob.

"Is there any information about the fourth?" asked the cricket.

"No, with his skills, as long as he doesn't die, how can he come back safely. The sixth son's confidence in the fourth child is actually higher than that of the cricket, and the cricket who is upside down is embarrassed, and said worriedly: "I'm afraid that His Royal Highness will be too stubborn, so I will also put the fourth child in." ”

The sixth son didn't answer when he heard this, patted the cricket's back, and went straight to the side room to wash.

In the backyard, after the family met, they didn't care about anything else, hugging each other and crying. The two women, who still knew how to measure, only sobbed softly and asked about the difficulties along the way.

"Mother concubine......" As soon as the boy opened his mouth, he was interrupted by a look from the princess.

"You should call me 'Mother'!"

"Yes, mother. The boy replied.

"Xin'er, are you and your sisters okay all the way, lady. After that, the princess pulled the prince Zhao Yuxin into her arms again, and groped for a while, for fear that there would be some bits and pieces missing from her body.

After being busy for a while, he let out a long sigh of relief, and then asked about the two girls.

"Yuru, Yuqin, are you two still comfortable?"

"Mother, we're fine. ”

"Auntie, Yuqin is fine. ”

The princess groped up and down the two girls again as usual, and when she saw that it was really fine, she slumped down in her chair. The concubine whispered a few words of comfort, and then led the children to wash.

The sturdy nurse who had been following the princess and the princess took advantage of the washing time to carefully check Zhao Yuxin, and after seeing that she was indeed fine, she returned to the princess, who folded her hands together after hearing this, and muttered words such as thank you to the Bodhisattva for blessing, and was extremely pious.

After two days of sailing north, the two warships of the navy turned northwest and headed straight for the West Mountain.

On the afternoon of the 9th, two huge warships approached the pier of Linglinhu in Xishan, attracting many onlookers.

When Sun heard that a huge ship was visiting, he jumped up in shock, and while arranging for people to ask Jixiang for help, he organized soldiers to rush to the lakeside wharf.

Fortunately, the crickets dissuaded in time and explained the reason to Sun, which resolved the embarrassment of each other.

When Sun saw the heroic posture of the Jijia ship and the Jizi ship at the dock near the lake, he swallowed his saliva and stared at the two majestic warships and smirked.

The commander of the fleet, Da Gaoqiang, took everyone off the ship, and after greeting with Sun, he conveyed the greetings of the auspicious lord Wang to the Xishan leader Sun, and said that the purpose of this trip was to take the crickets and the six sons back to the auspicious territory.

Sun had nothing to do, and warmly entertained two ships of nearly 300 naval officers and men, and despite the huge expense, he still flew happily, and the fleet was dragged down by Xishan for a temporary night. No, after winning the opinions of the six sons and the crickets, Da Gaoqiang arranged for people to be on duty, and he stayed overnight with peace of mind.

Seeing this, Sun was quite satisfied, and after seeing his free time, he discussed with the Minister of State: "Qing family, what do you think my daughter would be if she married the commander of this fleet, then we could attack and retreat." ”

The Minister of State was already immune to the torture of his master's 'whimsy', so he had to say patiently: "If you care, it will be chaotic, and in the eyes of the minister, it is better to choose a port in the Linhu District and ask the mascot to build a military dock for auspicious warships to dock, wouldn't it be wonderful?"

When Sun heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he patted his thigh and shouted: "So good, very good, the Qing family is really my Sun's humerus!"
