Chapter 267: A Thousand Miles Ship Sets Sail!
And Tang Yong was distressed, his right arm was cut off alive.
Only then did he lose his right arm, and he lost his firecracker.
"Turkic barbarians! I can't do that! Tang Yong himself didn't have much confidence to guarantee this, just to comfort his colleagues not to worry too much.
"Sizhou is heavily guarded, and it is impossible to cross the river and return to the territory of Zhou."
"And the land route is too far to support it."
"When I passed through this place, I was already short of food and grass, but fortunately I was taken in by well-wishers, and there was still some reward money in my pocket at that time, but unfortunately Qi couldn't use it."
"But! Checkmate! I know where the rest of my colleagues are! ”
"They're in Shuozhou! In Shuozhou! Although Shuozhou has been slaughtered, my colleagues believe it! My Zhou army will definitely rush to the aid of Shuozhou! So most of them stayed over there! ”
"It's just that half a year has passed, and I don't know ...... them"
As soon as he heard the news, Tang Yong's blood boiled!
Previously, Dugu Yongye had been busy sneaking north to Qi State, and when he heard that he was in Mayi County, he turned back!
Maeup-gun! Less than fifty miles from Shuozhou!
If only Dugu Yongye had gone to Shuozhou at that time! I was able to bring my colleagues back three months ago!
It was a passing by! In vain, he abandoned his colleagues in Shuozhou for another three months!
Tang Yong gave all the grain and grass he brought with him on this trip to this family as a thank you!
Then he immediately took his colleagues with broken arms and quickly returned to Los Angeles.
There are thousands of big ships in Luozhou, each of which can carry 100 people!
Three trips will be able to bring back the colleagues of the Northern Expedition who stayed in Shuozhou!
The impatient Tang Yong first submitted the matter to Beijing, and then arranged for the big ships to hurry north along the Yellow River!
When you reach Hequ County of the Yellow River, take a hundred miles to the east by land, and Shuozhou!
Sure enough, it's my Northern Expeditionary Army! Clever!
Know that the most dangerous place is the best place to hide!
Qi Bing will not go to Shuozhou! I thought there was no one in Shuozhou!
As a result, more than 30,000 Zhou Guobei expeditionary forbidden troops were hidden in Shuozhou!
He could even understand why they were hiding in Shuozhou!
It must be to wait for reinforcements to arrive, in case the Turks dare to go south twice! They can immediately use Shuozhou as a basis!
Fight back!
……
Yuwen Shihong only saw the matter handed by Tang Yong the next day, and at the same time, Tang Yong had sent a thousand big ships to the north to the area of Shilou County.
"The Northern Expeditionary Army was personally ordered by me to go to the Qi State to disperse, in other words, ......"
"It's for them to be sent to death......"
Suddenly received the news of the more than 30,000 forbidden troops who had lost contact, and Yuwen Shihong couldn't sit still.
He immediately rode out of the palace and galloped towards the shipyard presided over by Luoyang and Zu Wenyuan.
Previously, Zu Wenyuan had fulfilled the contract to build 100 large ships powered by manned manpower, and 10 large ships of 1,000 people propelled by hydropower.
It's just that...... Zu Wenyuan is the only one who can drive a hydroelectric boat.
For example, how to observe the water flow, adjust the slope of the borrowing plate by the water flow, etc., Yuwen Shihong feels that learning to drive the hydro boat he built is more difficult than taking the driver's license.
When Yuwen Shihong arrived, he saw the familiar back of Zu Wenyuan squatting by the Yellow River and contemplating.
Not bothering to worry about whether it would disturb his thinking, Yuwen Shihong walked straight over and said as if giving an order:
"Zu Wenyuan listens to the order! There are more than 30,000 forbidden troops in our Zhou State, and they are trapped in Shuozhou of Qi State! ”
"I order you to sail now! Load your belongings! Go and rescue the trapped Forbidden Army! ”
Suddenly receiving the holy order, Zu Wenyuan jumped up as if reflexively.
Hurriedly requisitioned a large amount of grain and grass from the local agricultural department, and requisitioned some copper kettles and other utensils for cooking rice and vegetables from the construction and casting department, and jumped onto the boat with Yuwen Shihong!
"Oh, why didn't you say it earlier, I would have taught a few people to learn to drive this kind of hydro boat."
"I'm still working on how to use the spiral thrust as a power."
Zu Wenyuan had a sense of disproportionateness, and dared to complain in front of Yuwen Shihong, but on the one hand, he was active in setting off, and on the other hand, he complained that Yuwen Shihong interrupted his train of thought.
Yuwen Shihong also has a feeling that he has done something wrong, after all, since he seized power.
Who would dare to reproach him?
Even the old slave Wei Zhong was like invisible, and he didn't dare to say more nonsense.
Suddenly resentful of Zu Wenyuan, Yuwen Shihong didn't react for a while, but really felt that he had done something wrong.
"Oh, Your Majesty forgives me, Weichen was just talking nonsense and talking to himself just now."
“……”
……
Thousands of ships went north along the Yellow River, but the speed was slow due to the countercurrent, and they traveled more than 40 miles at most in an hour, which was simply bad for Tang Yong.
"What are you going to eat! It's still even worse if you haven't eaten! The boat didn't move much! ”
Tang Yong couldn't see the vigilance of the soldiers on the other side of the river at all, and only saw that the boat was going too slowly.
After losing his temper for more than three months, Tang Yong suddenly saw a large ship larger than his ten ships at the rear of the fleet, and it was approaching quickly?
In the blink of an eye, the speeding ship, after passing the stern of his fleet, was approaching the big ship in front of him?
"Wow, faster than a horse? I'm dazzled? ”
Tang Yong thought that there was something wrong with his eyes, he rubbed his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, Yuwen Shihong, who was standing on the big boat, was already waving happily at him.
"General Tang! I'm here too! ”
"Look at the young eunuch Zu's hydroelectric boat, it's running so fast!" The name of the 'Thousand Miles Ship' is worthy of its name! ”
Tang Yong's brain trembled with shock, and he didn't know if it was seasickness or other reasons.
"Your Majesty? Eh, Your Majesty, wait for me! ”
Just as he was about to speak, the big boat shuttling quickly had already swept past Tang Yong and quickly sailed forward.
Tang Yong was in a hurry, and at the moment when he was about to pass by behind the tail of the big boat, he jumped directly over!
Almost jumped straight into the Yellow River!
"Oops, you're so scary, I thought you were going to jump into the river."
Zu Wenyuan walked quickly to the stern of the boat with a big grin and helped Tang Yong up.
Tang Yong directly ignored Zu Wenyuan and shook him off.
Then his eyes were completely attracted by this ship-
The cabin does not have any small windows for shaking the paddle, and it is built tightly.
He went down to the cabin to see who was rowing the boat, and with so much strength that he rowed the boat as fast as it was flying.
When he came down, he saw that the cabin was full of grain, grass, utensils, and other materials, and no one was in it at all.
He was accompanied by only twenty of Yuwen Shihong's guards, who stood in two rows at the edge of the deck, always keeping their attention on the troops on the opposite shore.
"This ship ......"
"Are you running?"
After Tang Yong confirmed this strange reality with his own eyes, he gasped and let out his shocked exclamation!
"This is a hydro-powered boat, which was pondered by Young Eunuch Zu," Yuwen Shihong patiently introduced him around:
"You see, although the water is flowing southward, with the help of certain equipment, the southward flow is changed to the north, so as to use this as a thrust to push the boat 'downstream'."
"A thousand miles a day is not a problem."
