Chapter 593 Battleship
Chapter 593
Before dawn, puffs of smoke poured out of the battleship.
When the sun rises, the chirping of seabirds can be heard in the barracks, and the breeze from the seashore blows into the barracks with the smell of sea.
The First Emperor got up early, and when he walked out of the big tent, the sun shone right on the First Emperor.
The First Emperor took a deep breath, and immediately felt refreshed, looking at the sea connected by water and sky in the distance, his mood was extremely comfortable.
The First Emperor looked in the direction of the ironclad ship, and suddenly felt that the two big chimneys of the ironclad ship were a little defeated, but whether Daqin could conquer the sea depended on the ironclad ship, so forget it.
"Your Majesty, everything is ready, Your Majesty can board the ship!" Huang Yue ran over and saluted.
"Come aboard, I'm going to have breakfast on this iron ship." The First Emperor laughed.
"No!"
After the First Emperor boarded the ship, he stood directly on the deck of the ship, and Huang Yue hurriedly brought a table and chairs, and then put breakfast on the table.
After the First Emperor sat down, he said, "Let's go." โ
"No!" Huang Yue immediately turned around and gave an order to his subordinates in the cab.
In a few moments, the battleship began to slowly sail out of the harbor.
Since the First Emperor was on deck, the battleship did not travel fast,
Facing the sea breeze, the First Emperor was eating breakfast, and suddenly felt that this kind of life was really comfortable!
After the first emperor finished breakfast, he stood up and looked at the boundless sea, and sighed: "I didn't expect there to be such a beautiful scenery here, very good, very good." โ
The First Emperor shouted: "Huang Yue! โ
"The end will be." Huang Yue hurriedly said.
"Didn't you say that this ship is faster than the average ship? Why is it still so slow?
โ
Huang Yue hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please also ask Your Majesty to move to the cabin." โ
The First Emperor understood, it turned out that because he was on the deck, he didn't drive to the highest speed.
"I've never seen any strong winds and waves, I'm standing here, and I'm going to speed as fast as I can!" The First Emperor ordered loudly.
"No!"
Huang Yue didn't dare to disobey the order, and immediately gave orders to his subordinates.
As the smoke from the chimney grew louder and louder, the speed of the battleship increased.
Feeling the black wind getting stronger and stronger, the First Emperor couldn't help but open his arms, and suddenly felt like he was embracing the whole world.
But after a while, the speed of the battleship slowed down.
The First Emperor frowned and said, "Why has the speed slowed down?" โ
Huang Yue arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, you will go to the shooting range in front, and you need to reduce your speed a little to demonstrate the cannon for Your Majesty." โ
"Can't you do it at full speed?" The First Emperor asked.
"Your Majesty, you can also fire at full speed, but the accuracy is a little low, and even if you reduce the speed, it is faster than the average building ship." Huang Yue hurriedly explained.
"Your Majesty, please go back to the cabin." Huang Yue arched his hand and said.
"Let's go, go back to the cabin, and see the power of this cannon." The First Emperor said impatiently.
After returning to the cabin, the First Emperor picked up his binoculars and saw through the glass a small island in the distance.
"Boom!"
A loud bang followed, and a huge explosion was seen on the distant island in the short run.
"Excellent! Very good! With this sharp weapon, this ship is the first in the world! The First Emperor said happily.
"Huang Yue, I asked the Ministry of Civil Affairs to allocate more money and silver, I want to see a fleet!" The First Emperor
The telescope said.
Huang Yue's face was embarrassed, he lowered his head and arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered that only one will be built, and it will be built after the technology is mature." โ
The First Emperor frowned and said, "Since this is the case, then do what the prince says." โ
The First Emperor still understands very well, he can be said to have no understanding of anything in this regard, and Qin Xi is the originator of this aspect.
So when the First Emperor heard that it was Qin Xi, he didn't intervene any more.
Next, Huang Yue commanded the battleship to complete the naval gun training.
The First Emperor watched the whole process with a telescope, and after reading it, the First Emperor's excited heart could not be calmed down for a long time.
The First Emperor was sure that as long as this warship stopped at the Long River, even if it was a hundred thousand troops, they would never want to cross the Long River.
"Your Majesty, the naval artillery training has been covered, please give your Majesty's order." Huang Yue arched his hand.
The First Emperor said lightly: "Can this boat enter the Long River?" โ
"Back to Your Majesty, this ship can sail into the Chenghe River." Huang Yue Road.
"Then let's go, and let the people on both sides of the Great Qin River see my Great Qin's steel battleship!"
"No!"
Then, the battleship came to the mouth of the long river at full speed, and then sailed into the long river.
When this smoking steel boat appeared in the middle of the long river, the people on both sides of the river ran to the shore and stopped to watch.
The boats driving in the river all avoided one after another, firstly because of the Great Qin Army flag hanging on it, and secondly, they were very scared when they saw such a big iron guy driving on the river.

In Xianyang City, Jibu was still waiting bitterly.
Every day, Jibu would personally go to Yao Jia's house
asked, hoping to meet the crown prince of Daqin.
Now Jibu already knows that the emperor of Great Qin has toured the east, and now it is the crown prince Qin Xi who is handling state affairs, so he must meet Qin Xi in order to solve the current matter.
However, Qin Xi, the crown prince of Great Qin, never saw Jibu, which made Jibu anxious.
And today, after Jibu received the news from Loulan, he really couldn't sit still.
Jibu hurriedly came to Yao Jia's mansion, so anxious that he couldn't even sit down, and he was in a hurry in the hall.
Yao Jia waited for a long time before he was late.
"Special envoy, as I said, Your Highness is busy now, and I can't see you for the time being, and it will be five or six days at most, and I will have time to see you." Yao Jia said helplessly.
Jibu hurriedly greeted him and said anxiously: "Lord Yao Jia, please, intercede for your subordinates, let me see His Royal Highness the Prince, the situation is urgent!" โ
Yao Jia suddenly noticed that Jibu's mood seemed to be different from before, and it seemed to be a matter of life and death.
"Don't worry, special envoy Jibu, speak slowly, make it clear, so that I can speak for the envoy in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Yao Jia said.
Ji Bu took a deep breath and said, "Lord Yao Jia, Tubo has invaded my Loulan, and now my Loulan is in danger, please ask Daqin to help!" โ
Yao Jia was taken aback, frowned and asked, "Tubo, which country is it, is it a country in the West?" โ
"Lord Yao Jia doesn't know, this Tubo is on the high mountains in the south of my Loulan and your country." Gibb said.
"Aren't the mountains just uncivilized savages? How could a country emerge? Yao Jia asked.
Gibb explained
Said: "Since Tubo to Daqin is blocked by high mountains, it is normal for Daqin not to know about Tubo. โ
Yao Jia nodded and said: "I know about this matter, I will go to see His Royal Highness the Prince, the envoy will go back to the embassy first, as soon as there is news, the old man will immediately inform the envoy." โ
Gibb hesitated for a moment, then saluted, "Then please Lord Yao Jia!" โ
