Chapter 256: The Bottom of the Cauldron Draws Salary, and the War Begins!
"Goo-dong!"
Zheng Chenggong and Qi Jiguang glanced at each other, and the two became short of breath.
I swallowed my saliva with difficulty, only to feel an instant tingling in my throat.
"Your Majesty......Your Majesty!"
Zheng Chenggong took a deep breath, opened his mouth, his voice trembled, and he was a little hoarse: "Your Majesty, the steel in Liaodong City is enough, but, cough cough...."
"With steel alone, if this ship is dropped, it is estimated that it will sink, and this ship that uses 1/4 of it is also the best ratio that we spent a lot of effort to research."
"Put it in the water, it won't sink!"
Zheng Chenggong's voice was very low and he said with difficulty.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I know that."
Qi Jiguang echoed: "The ships in the world are all made of wood, even those ships of the Tang Dynasty, even the dragon boats of Yang Guang of the previous dynasty are all wood, and there are no boats made of steel, Your Majesty." ”
"This warship, covered with steel, although it only accounts for 1/4, its combat power has far surpassed that of other warships."
"Your Majesty, this ship, the navy has spent a lot of attention, and this minister also knows, as long as this ship is put on the steam engine, everything will be fine!"
Qi Jiguang's voice was a little hoarse.
Li Kuan looked at the cautious appearance of the two and couldn't help but laugh directly.
"You guys, I....I really don't know what to say about you, this....also blame me, blame me for just giving you these techniques in the first place, and forgot to mention that all the materials on the drawings I gave you are steel."
"Wood, you can't be a battleship."
"In other words, what is the use of a battleship made of wood? A swarm of rockets will burn through, not to mention the high temperature that the steam engine needs to emit from it, you guys, really....I don't know if it's for me? ”
Li Kuan couldn't laugh or cry.
He looked at the two of them with their heads bowed, like schoolchildren who had done the wrong thing, and he couldn't bear to reprimand.
That drawing,
Every step of the way, it's clear.
Li Kuan drew it by hand, and there were annotations for each step.
Before he came, Li Kuan thought that the progress of the shipyard can't be so slow, even if it's a little difficult, but looking at the drawings, it can always be solved, right?
After all, I told them the answer.
But this....
I see!
but
Thinking about it carefully, I don't blame them, Li Kuan knew that it was his own preconceived idea, thinking that there was no need to talk about the material problem, and there was no need to say it specifically, because those battleships in the back were made of wood?
Li Kuan took it for granted that they all knew it. It is to be cast in steel.
But also,
Right now. Only they know that these ships are very different from the previous ones, and they are all made of steel, but....they don't know.
After all, in all dynasties, for thousands of years, ships have been made of wood!
Where is there any steel?
And
They didn't ask themselves, and there was no special label on the drawing.
During this time, they have been working hard, to be honest, it is not easy to get to this point.
"Huh? This...."
At this moment, after hearing Li Kuan's words.
Qi Jiguang, Zheng Chenggong and Zheng Yi's sister-in-law in the back, they were all dumbfounded.
You look at me, I look at you.
Dazed.
Doubt.
Overwhelmed.
Unbelievable.
Incredible.
It's all question marks!
This, that....
Hiss....
Boom!
In the end, everyone looked at Li Kuan in a daze, and their breathing was extremely short.
They were dumbfounded.
I was completely confused.
In an instant, they understood why they couldn't build a warship like the one on the drawings given by His Majesty for so long.
It's like making a blade out of clay!
From the very beginning, the most basic first step was wrong!
You can make it yourself. It's an evil sect.
There was silence all around.
After a long time, Qi Jiguang opened his mouth and said hoarsely: "Your Majesty, if it is made of steel, won't it sink?" ”
"Steel is so heavy...."
Zheng Chenggong stared at the big eyes: "Yes, Your Majesty, the whole body is made of steel, isn't this too incredible?" ”
"This....don't care if you sink or not, you won't be punished, what are you afraid of?" Li Kuan shook his head and continued: "Now, I can't explain too much to you, just do what I say, and when it is done and put it in the water, you should understand." ”
"When you return to Yanyun City, I will send a few more engineers to help you."
"Okay, now, turn around, prepare and prepare, change the previous mistakes and the previous mindset."
Li Kuan said directly.
Hearing this,
Although Qi Jiguang and Zheng Chenggong still have a strong incomprehension in their hearts.
but
I also know that I thought it was wrong before!
Your Majesty is definitely right!
Your Majesty is right, it is useless to explain any more!
Those drawings are in their hands, every step, Your Majesty marks it very clearly, make it first, make it first!
Zheng Yi's sister-in-law and Zheng He immediately went down.
"Your Majesty...."Qi Jiguang scratched his head and grinned: "I didn't expect that the biggest reason was actually in this aspect." ”
"In this way, we are going in the wrong direction during this time, going more and more wrong, going deeper and deeper, fortunately, Your Majesty, you have come here, otherwise. We won't be able to build this ship in eight lifetimes. ”
Qi Jiguang smiled bitterly and sighed.
"Who's to say it's not? Your Majesty, this time we are stupid. ”
"Oh, you see it's a mess in the end."
Zheng Chenggong's face was also full of bitterness.
"Okay, okay, it's okay, the road is always tortuous, nothing can be done overnight."
"During this time, it is estimated that your shipbuilders' skills have also increased a lot, and if you can get to this point, to be honest, I don't know if I want to reward you."
"This is also a good thing, when it is replaced by steel, it is estimated that the skills precipitated by this group of masters during this period of time will all be brought into play."
Li Kuan comforted.
It was also at this time that the craftsmen who were busy behind all stopped.
"What's that? General Zheng, you're not wrong, are you? Oh my God, with steel? Were we wrong from the start? ”
"I....this, is this really fake?"
"Steel? All-over steel? Hahaha, I just said, my calculation is correct, yes, yes, yes, change to steel, it can definitely be done! ”
"Abandon all the wood, the hull is all made of steel, don't say, it seems that if we do this, our current problem will be solved at once, if the whole body is steel, no matter how big this steam engine is, it can be put in, don't worry about roasting the hull to be deformed."
"In line with our previous direction, it was wrong from the beginning? This is what His Majesty said? Hahaha, brothers, smash the boat! ”
“…….”
The workers were boiling.
Today's shipyard is really more lively than the New Year.
"Your Majesty."
Zheng Chenggong looked at all this and took a deep breath: "Your Majesty, in two months, two months, the last general will definitely build the first battleship with a ballista bed!" ”
Zheng Chenggong said in a low voice.
Li Kuan smiled and bowed slightly.
"Your Majesty."
At this moment, a tiger and leopard knight quickly walked over.
"Your Majesty, Goguryeo is starting to move."
The Haw Par Knights handed the information in their hands to Li Kuan.
Li Kuan took it.
Qi Jiguang and Zheng Chenggong trembled.
Here it comes?!
The two looked at Li Kuan a little nervously.
Li Kuan looked through the information in his hand and handed it to Qi Jiguang and the two of them.
"Let's go, go back."
Li Kuan walked outside.
The two took a quick look and hurriedly followed.
"This Goguryeo....it's really an army of 400,000, it's fun now."
"400,000 is 400,000, but 10,000 can't rush to the army, isn't this just a group of refugees? Even the military rations were prepared by themselves, there was no armor, no weapons, and the weapons were brought from their own homes, hehe...."
"The kings of Goguryeo, they really use our Liaodong City as a tool to use, do you really think we just let them use it?"
"I'm going to arrive in Liaodong City in four or five days, heh, it's not slow."
"I wonder, do these armies know who their bosses are? I'm afraid that they will know about attacking Liaodong City, and the rest will not know anything. ”
"The Goguryeo court is also a good means, this ability to divert fire targets is first-class! The people even dared to believe it! ”
“…….”
Qi Jiguang and Zheng Chenggong, looking at the records on the intelligence, really couldn't believe it.
This King of Goguryeo is really playing with fire.
Their group of nobles in Goguryeo, is it really a simple matter to attack Dayan? Really turned Da Yan into a hook fence, planning to come as soon as you want, and leave as you want?
You don't think that if there is a Datong River between yourself and Dayan, you will be invincible, right? You don't have any worries, do you?
Now.
In the city lord's mansion.
Li Kuan took a sip of tea.
Qi Jiguang and Zheng Chenggong sat on both sides.
Soon, Xin Qiji's red eyes came in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, those grandsons of Goguryeo have moved."
"So, isn't it time for our Air Force to take action? Your Majesty, what is our mission? ”
Xin Qi said in a hurry.
No one has even entered the door.
This voice came first.
"Mr. Xin, sit down first and listen to Your Majesty's arrangement."
Qi Jiguang said with a smile.
Xin Qiji sat down.
Li Kuan looked at the three of them, and his fingers tapped lightly on the table.
"This time, Goguryeo took us for fools, hehe....but our Dayan, including me, is not the kind of person who likes to be taken advantage of."
"He wants to take advantage of us, and in that case, we should give them a gift."
"The development of Liaodong City needs people after all, not to mention the vast uninhabited land in the north, which also needs to be developed."
"It takes people, I thought, why don't we send them to Siberia to dig and produce oil, and keep fit."
Li Kuan narrowed his eyes and said slowly.
Qi Jiguang, Zheng Chenggong and Xin Qiji's bodies all straightened up involuntarily.
They know, Goguryeo, it's over!
"Your Majesty's words are true! This group of guys didn't know what to do, but they put their careful thoughts on us, hehe....It's just looking for death! ”
"Heaven can do evil, but you can't live if you do it yourself!"
Qi Jiguang said coldly.
"Your Majesty, our Air Force, apply to fight!" Xin Qiji said solemnly.
He knew that this time his air force would finally be useful.
Zheng Chenggong is also not to be outdone, although there are no modern warships in hand, but the number of navies is still quite large, and there are always 10,000.
"Your Majesty, our navy is also always ready, what does Your Majesty order, let the last general carry it out!"
Zheng Chenggong roared.
Li Kuan swept over the three of them, smiled and nodded casually.
"Okay, how many war resources does Liaodong City have now?"
Li Kuan asked with a smile.
Co-ordination of war resources, weapons, arrows, rolling stones, etc.
"Your Majesty, Liaodong City lacks everything, but sitting on the border, there is no shortage of these!"
"The last general knows that sooner or later we will have to fight with Goguryeo and the Tang Dynasty, so we have been prepared."
Qi Jiguang shouted in a low voice.
There is almost only one Liaodong City in Liaodong Province, naturally, most of the troops and weapons are all defended inside Liaodong City, so it can be said that Qi Jiguang is waiting for this battle.
Unexpectedly,
Goguryeo's side was so cooperative, they didn't even need Da Yan to take the initiative to attack, and they came to die.
Li Kuan nodded.
"Okay, then there's nothing to say here."
"Start a battle, transport all the war resources to you, as long as you meet the people of Goguryeo, you can start a war."
Li Kuan said, his eyes fell on Zheng Chenggong and Xin Qiji.
"This time, it's mostly you."
"Although the navy does not have modern warships, I think there are a lot of those wooden warships, which are enough."
"Prepare to prepare, 10,000 people will move directly to the domestic city along the coastline."
"There are 400,000 troops, and Goguryeo's entire 400,000 troops have been dispatched, and it is estimated that in the domestic cities, there are only some old, weak, sick and disabled, women, children, old and young."
"With the cooperation of the 10,000 army and the air force, it shouldn't be difficult to occupy the domestic city, right?"
Li Kuan looked at the two of them and said calmly.
"Shhhh
Hearing this, the three of them gasped together.
Draw from the bottom of the kettle!
Unexpectedly,
Your Majesty is so bold and marches like this.
But
Zheng Chenggong and Xin Qiji were stunned for a short time, and their faces were ecstatic.
"No problem, no difficulty!"
"Your Majesty, don't worry, just wait."
"Hahaha, Your Majesty, the last general will obey!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the last general will definitely not live up to Your Majesty's expectations!"
The two of them suddenly got up, their expressions exploded, their breath was short, and they roared lowly.
There is nothing to add to the excitement.
That's what they're waiting for.
The Navy and Air Force conducted a joint operation for the first time, and the two knew very well that this time the stage provided by His Majesty for themselves was too big and too big, and they must grasp it!
This directive,
It's much more comfortable than defending the city, and it's much more comfortable.
Li Kuan smiled lightly, looked at the excited appearance of the two, and bowed slightly.
"Then go and prepare, five days is enough time for you to reach the vicinity of the domestic city."
"After occupying the inner city, depending on the situation, if you can hold it, you will hold the domestic city, if you can't hold it, you will wreak havoc, but remember, you must bring back the royal family of Goguryeo."
Li Kuan instructed.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Xin Qiji and Zheng Chenggong couldn't wait to prepare.
Li Kuan rubbed his stomach and glanced at Qi Jiguang next to him: "Let's go, let's eat." ”
Qi Jiguang hurriedly followed.
Also, there's really nothing going on right now.
Liaodong City, which was guarded by the First Group Army, didn't need to say much about it at all.
Everything is ready.
Right now
is just waiting for Goguryeo, the so-called 400,000 army rushed over.
