320, the giant ship is coming [2/2]
The days that followed were quite peaceful!
Yi Yun practices the palace in his mansion every day, and there is nothing else to do, otaku, once he is free, he doesn't like to move, he stays at home every day to practice leveling, and occasionally does something he loves to do with Chen Yuanyuan, Yan Wanyun, Quiet, An Qian and other girls.
The plague in the south of the Yangtze River has subsided, good news has been reported everywhere, and the people have returned to their homes. Trade routes are back open, the construction of the Shanghai Oasis continues to intensify, and everything is back on track.
The emperor soon sent a holy decree to reward the officials who made meritorious contributions, Yi Yunli's merits were great, but he was the prince of the "first class of the Son of Heaven", and it was impossible for him to be promoted again, and if he was promoted again, he had to take off the emperor's position, so the emperor's cousin rewarded her with some flashy things, what Western tribute binoculars, Fusang tribute screens and fans, Persian tribute carpets......
These things are indeed first-class treasures for the people of Da Meng Kingdom, and they are used to reward the heroes with face, but for Yi Yun, these things are all rubbish, and they are far from those beautifully crafted crafts in later generations.
"Oh, the emperor's cousin might as well reward me with some beautiful women!" Yi Yun couldn't help but complain.
"What, you still don't think there are enough women around?" Chen Yuanyuan reached out and pinched his waist.
"Ah, I don't want beautiful women to use ooxx, but to do serious things. Eyun protested.
"What else can a beautiful woman do with serious things? I despise you so badly!" Chen Yuanyuan was very unhappy.
The two flirted and scolded for a while, and Yi Yun couldn't help but push her down in the grass in the garden again, reaching out and touching and pinching.
At this moment, the ugly maid ran in and reported: "Pavilion master, prince, Hu Zhongxian sent someone to send a huge ship to Wusong Wharf. Fifty beauties were also sent along with the giant ship...... This one...... What to do?"
"Fifty?" Chen Yuanyuan was furious: "Does Hu Zhongxian want my man to die as much as possible?" Grandma, I will chop off Hu Zhongxian's dog head first. ”
"Hey. Don't worry!" Yi Yun smiled, "This matter is not what you think...... You wait and see the show. ”
The two came out of the small garden. I'm going to go to Wusong Wharf to have a look, and the girls in the Huwang Mansion have also gotten the news, and many girls who have nothing to do have run out to see the excitement, and after a while, a large group of people have gathered.
Everyone boarded the big sand cart. There are also several miles from Huwangfu to Wusong Wharf, and the car turns around for an hour. I came to Wusong Wharf.
After a long period of construction, Wusong Wharf has become quite meteorological, because Yiyun rarely goes out. Therefore, the situation of Wusong Wharf has not been seen for a long time. Now I look at it, and I realize that it has become a super large dock, and many ships are neatly moored on the pier, looking at the past there are at least two or three hundred, these ships come from various countries, and there are obvious differences in style. The ships of the Great Moe Country are all in the shape of a lucky boat. Hard sailboats. Most of the ships from the West were Spanish galleons with soft sails. There are also some ships from countries like Persia. It has a round bow, which is very beautiful.
These ships of different styles show the prosperity and prosperity of this marina.
On the edge of the wharf, a huge market was built, which was a place for merchants from various countries to trade, Yi Yun knew about this market, but he didn't feel strange, and what was more interesting was that there was also a mix of Chinese and Western style buildings built next to the market, which seemed to be a big mansion.
"What is this?" said Ivan.
"Lord Wang, this is Li Huamei's office in Shanghai, and you personally approved the construction, have you forgotten?" a dock manager hurriedly reported.
Oh, Yi Yun remembered now, he had already handed over the Husong Wharf to Li Huamei to help him manage it, because Li Huamei knew more about maritime business, and he would take care of it himself, so it would be better to hand it over to Li Huamei to manage, so the effect would be better. ...,
I saw that there were people coming in and out of Li Huamei's office in China, and it seemed that they were all businessmen from various countries, and if they had any commercial disputes, they would probably look for Li Huamei to arbitrate.
Yi Yun didn't come to look for Li Huamei today, he put the matter aside and continued to walk towards the dock, and after a while, the administrator on the dock led him to a huge ship.
This ship is a typical Daifuku ship of the Daimoe national system!
Fu Ship is a famous ship in ancient China's sea ships, known as one of China's "Four Ancient Ships", with a pointed head and a wide tail, two upturned heads, two sides arched outward, and guards on both sides. There are strong shock devices, the draft is extremely deep, up to four meters, it is very suitable for driving in a fierce confrontation, against waves, against storms, against enemy ships have a good performance.
The ship is large and small, and the ship that appears in front of Yi Yun now is a relatively large one, and it is a giant ship specially built by Hu Zhongxian to fight against the Japanese invaders, and it is a flagship-class! The whole ship is divided into four layers, and the bottom layer is equipped with earth and stone ballast! The second layer is the residential area, and the soldiers live in it when it is not wartime. The third layer is the operation area, which is in this layer. The top floor is the battle area, with a women's wall battle grid, bows and arrows, and many cannons lined up.
The ship is covered with two masts, the foremast is taller and the backmast is shorter, and the sails on it are naturally one large and one small, all of which are Chinese-style hard sails. There was a 5,000-pound red-coated cannon in the bow and stern, and 12 1,000-pound franc cannons on each side of the ship, making a total of 24 cannons for the two strings, and if you add the bow gun and stern gun, it would be a total of 26 cannons.
This kind of firepower is not very satisfactory for Yi Yun, because last time he saw the Spanish galleon in Ningbo Hong, there were more than fifty cannons on it, but the largest warship in the Dameng country was only twenty-six cannons, which was simply a cheat. In the event of a naval battle, such a ship would be beaten by Spanish galleons.
"What a broken ship!" Iyun shook his head.
"Is this ship still broken?" Lu Xi shouted beside him: "What a powerful ship this is, how much silver does it cost to afford it?"
"Dead poor and sour, I haven't seen anything really good. Iwan pouted unhappily.
Among Yi Yun's sisters, only Chen Yuanyuan is the most well-informed, she looked at this Dafu ship, and was also slightly dissatisfied, frowning: "The ship built by Hu Zhongxian is also too poor, you should ask the Western craftsmen for more advice, it is okay to use a ship of this size to fight against the Japanese Kou, but if the Westerners suddenly declare war on us one day, this ship will be the target of the beating." ”
"That's right!" Yi Yun nodded seriously: "To engage in armament, we must look at all enemies, including potential enemies, not just the visible enemy, although the Westerners have not yet shown their fangs, but one day they will be the opponents of our Dameng country, let's engage in armaments...... It can't just be against the pirates. ”
At this time, the official of Da Meng Guo on the Fu boat jumped down, it turned out to be Hu Zhongxian's cronies and naval generals, he saluted Yi Yun and said: "Lord Jiashan, this is a giant ship sent to me by Master Hu, named Feilong, and fifty beauties were sent with the ship, please accept it...... Ahem, let me tell you a word for you...... Fifty artillery ...... Ahem......"
Although Yi Yun is not very satisfied with this ship, he picked it up for nothing anyway, and he didn't spend his own money, so he will use it. He waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, fifty artillerymen will be sent to Hu Dashuai in a month." We're a prince, can we not count when we speak?"
The general of the navy grinned and said: "If you don't want to send it, the last general will stay here for a month, waiting for your artillery, I will bring two boats, and I can transport them back." ”...,
"Wipe the ......" Yi Yun realized that he was afraid that he would repay his debts, so he sent an overseer.
Yi Yun rolled his eyes: Okay, you do the first year of junior high school, I do the fifteenth, you want artillery, and my brother will give you three immediately.
He had someone call Luo Leg Mao and took over the Daifuku ship. Sure enough, there were fifty beauties on the boat, and Yanhuan was fat and thin, there were all kinds of shapes, and a few of them were very strong, and he Hu Zhongxian was embarrassed to send this kind of woman to himself as a "beauty", it seems that Hu Zhongxian was not at ease, he must have taken a turn in the population market casually, and he didn't care about the beauty or ugliness, anyway, he bought fifty casually.
Yi Yun picked out three of these fifty beauties at random, and wanted to find a place where no one was there to transfer them to another job.
Looking left and right, there was no place on the dock, and there were businessmen from all over the world, so he had to blink an eye and stared at Li Huamei's office in Shanghai. There should be a lot of empty rooms in that big house with a mix of Chinese and Western styles, so let's find a room where no one is around.
"Go, you three, come with me to the hut over there, and we'll be alone for a while. Eyun smirked.
These three women are not very good-looking, usually belong to the type that no man can look at, I heard that a prince is going to take them to the small black house, and I am secretly happy in my heart: Is this going to be a sparrow flying on the branch and becoming a phoenix?
The three daughters were overjoyed at the same time: "Let's listen to the prince!"
Chen Yuanyuan was jealous again: "Hey, the maid you just got here, you want to push it?"
"No, they are taking them to do serious things. Eyun grinned.
"No, I'll have to go with me and see what the hell is going on. "Chen Yuanyuan is dead and alive, and he has to follow.
Yan Yunyun smiled beside her: "Sister Chen, you are so jealous, beware that your husband doesn't like you...... Jealousy is one of the seven, oh, to be put off. ”
Chen Yuanyuan was choked by this blow and couldn't speak.
"Okay, it's really a serious thing, not to do that, round girl, it doesn't matter if you come and see, I just told you about the transfer treasure you are most interested in. Yi Yun beckoned, and the three "beauties" followed him to Li Huamei's office in Shanghai with Chen Yuanyuan.
