Chapter 53: Ship Trial

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Li Yuanjing experimented with three more in succession, these three simple low-profile versions. Pomegranate. The effectiveness of the bullets is quite good, and none of them are duds.

And because of the rumbling sound of this waterfall, it is impossible to hear the movement here in the village two or three miles away.

"Owner, you, you are really a fairy trick. If such a sharp weapon is used to kill the enemy, what will the enemy use to stop him? I'm afraid that even the heavily armored soldiers will be seriously injured. ”

Zhang Kun's face flushed with excitement for a while, and he didn't know what to say.

As a veteran of the battlefield, he naturally quickly understood the horror of this thing.

Yu Niang and the eldest girl were also dumbfounded.

These two little ladies really never dreamed that the power of these things they made would be so terrifying......

No wonder Li Yuanjing strictly ordered them not to touch the slightest spark before......

"Whew."

Seeing four hands. Pomegranate. The effects of the bullets are quite good, and Li Yuanjing also breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and his heart was a lot more steady.

Daqian also seemed to have gunpowder at this time, and he was a professional lighter.

But.

For various reasons, the gunpowder of the Great Qian Dynasty is a bit difficult to explain......

And the gunpowder that Li Yuanjing secretly made at this time, although it was not a powerful black . gunpowder, but because an appropriate amount of sugar was added to it, the effect was basically satisfactory to Li Yuanjing.

"It works out pretty well. Alright, let's go back. ”

Li Yuanjing beckoned a few people to pack up the remaining hands. Pomegranate. Bounced back, and said to Zhang Kun:

"Brother Zhang, this matter can't be known to anyone anymore, do you understand?"

Zhang Kun naturally understood what Li Yuanjing meant, and hurriedly nodded desperately:

"Boss, the little one understands! Just small ......"

As he spoke, he suddenly smiled bitterly, and when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't stop swallowing them back.

It would have been nice if he hadn't broken an arm at this point......

Li Yuanjing naturally discovered Zhang Kun's sadness, smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Brother Zhang, don't worry. In the future, there may be better weapons you can use. ”

The group returned to Li Yuanjing's house, and the old village chief had already made preparations.

Several long wooden poles, like a sedan chair, carried the ship in the middle.

Under the order of the old village chief, the twenty sturdy men worked together to lift the ship very easily.

The old village chief in front personally opened the road, and Li Yuanjing in the back personally broke the back, and the group rushed towards the rolling Yishui by taking advantage of this deep night.

And Li Yuanjing thought about it for a long time, and not only brought Liu Gang, but also Wang Liu.

Mainly at this time, although Li Yuanjing already knew a lot of information about Huang Niwa, and guessed that Huang Niwa might be an important stronghold of the Wenxiang Sect, but this information was still too thin.

I can't help Li Yuanjing to keep a few more eyes!

After all.

He still has six hands. Pomegranate. Bullet, if something really happens on the road, plus the strength of so many of them, at least there will be the strength to fight back.

Normal state.

To rush from Quanzi Village to Yishui, you need to make a detour to Pijiazhuang first, and then take the official road from Pijiazhuang to a village called Majiabu, so that you can get to Yishui.

This back and forth, almost forty miles away.

But Liu Gang has been working as a small shopkeeper in Lucun Town, and he knows a shortcut.

It is to walk along the river channel of Quanzi Village, a big spring, walk out for about ten miles, bypass a valley, and you can reach the Yishui bank.

Li Yuanjing had basically pinched Wang Cuihua in his hands at this time, and naturally had a lot of restraining power on Liu Gang.

But for the sake of insurance, he still carefully inquired about Wang Liu's family to make sure that this road was feasible before letting everyone go.

After walking out of seven or eight miles in a row, he didn't encounter any obstacles, and Li Yuanjing breathed a sigh of relief.

Mainly the cold weather at this time helped a lot.

The tidal flats on both sides of this small river are frozen and strong, and there is no problem with the overloaded grain trucks.

Even if there is a problem, there are so many of them, and when the time comes, it will not be difficult to bake the soil and pad it with soil.

But when they arrived in the valley, Li Yuanjing and the others made a difficulty.

This small river does not run through the valley, but runs horizontally with Yi.

The mouth of the valley is extremely narrow, and the terrain inside is quite complex, basically all primeval forest, and can only be bypassed from a steep dirt slope here.

The old village chief was speechless when he saw this terrain, and after a while, he said:

"Yuanjing, if it doesn't work, let's let the gentlemen suffer a little more, or take the official road of Pijiazhuang. It's better to walk anyway. ”

Li Yuanjing frowned tightly and didn't speak, and only asked Liu Gangdao next to him after a while:

"Is the road up the dirt slope easy to walk?"

Although Liu Gang didn't know what Li Yuanjing was going to do at this time, he seemed to understand Li Yuanjing's status in Quanzi Village at this time, and hurriedly said respectfully:

"Master, it's easy to walk up, it's this dirt slope, and there is a dirt slope near Yishui, it's a little difficult to ......."

Li Yuanjing nodded slowly and said to the old village chief:

"Uncle, what I mean, let's climb over this dirt slope today and take a look at the terrain first. If you can, I'll finish trying the boat tonight, and tomorrow, I'll send someone over directly, and this dirt slope will be cushioned! What do you think? ”

"This ......"

The old village chief didn't expect that Li Yuanjing would be so stubborn and engage in such a big project......

However, he already knew Li Yuanjing very well, and he quickly reacted.

The reason why Li Yuanjing did this must be because of his hardships, and he couldn't be an outsider, so he smiled and said:

"Yuan Jing, this matter, uncle listens to you!"

Li Yuanjing and the old village chief quickly reached an agreement, and things were much simpler, and a group of men quickly got to work.

Let's just pad some dirt tonight to make sure the boat can go up, and then fix it up tomorrow night.

And just when everyone was busy with their work.

This way.

Wang Liu's apricot eyes narrowed slightly.

She bit her red lip tightly, not knowing what she was thinking.

The soil slope was quickly cushioned, and Li Yuanjing and his party continued to walk along the small ridge.

As Liu Gang said.

Although the road on the ridge is not too easy to walk, it is barely smooth, and it is difficult until the downhill near Yishui.

But with the experience of padding the soil slope in front, it is naturally not so difficult to pad the slope here.

What makes Li Yuanjing even more excited is that!

Because of the barrier between the valley and the tidal flats, there is only Majiabu Village more than 10 miles upstream, and the downstream is more than 20 miles away to be the Chenjiadu ferry.

As a result, this is a no-man's land.

And across the river.

It's pretty much the same.

Ordinary Liu Gang goes home from work, which is the way he goes.

Go here first, and then cross the river at Chenjiadu Ferry.

This seems to have spared some long distances, but there is no need to pass through the wilderness outside those villages, and naturally those terrible robberies are avoided.

And Liu Gang told Li Yuanjing that this was a road he only discovered three years ago, and only a few people knew about it.

Liu Gang said this lightly, and Li Yuanjing was silent on his face, but he couldn't stop 'chuckling' in his heart, and suddenly understood something.

Since Liu Gang only discovered this road three years ago, what is the matter with Wang Liu?

Especially......

Wang Liu's skin is really a bit good......

Even if she is talented, this is obviously not something that ordinary people can raise, especially her age!

But at this point.

Li Yuanjing still forced himself to suppress this doubt, and beckoned everyone to go down first and test the boat first by the river.

Because Quanzi Village is an inland village, even though it is very close to the boiling Yishui, there are very few people in the village who can be watery.

Fortunately, the old village chief thought of this in advance and called his two nephews who were helping on the river near the county seat to help.

This solves this problem perfectly.

Soon.

The grain boat, which was about 10 meters long, was pushed onto the Yishui outside the ice, and the two nephews of the old village chief directly took off their clothes and went up to support the boat shirtless.

And in the midst of everyone's fear, this big ship carefully built by Li Yuanjing, Zhao Zengjin and others floated steadily on the water.

The two nephews of the old village chief, surnamed Yang, were named Yang Dayang Er, and they directly propped the boat to the center of the river, but there was still no problem, and they supported the boat back smoothly.

This made everyone overjoyed, and they couldn't stop cheering.

Especially Zhao Zengjin, the suppressed excitement was about to burst his heart.

But Li Yuanjing's expression was full of coldness, and he was not a little happy.

When Yang Da Yang Er came back, he greeted directly:

"Get on the sand bags and see how many sand bags this ship can hold!"

"Huh? Be! ”

Only then did everyone react, and they hurriedly began to pack up bags of sand and dirt around them.

And at this time.

In the inconspicuous corner behind the crowd.

Seeing that Li Yuanjing was so thoughtful, Wang Liu's willow eyebrows couldn't help frowning, and he couldn't explain how complicated he looked at Li Yuanjing's tall back.
