Qin Ke had seen the pattern of the Jingwu warship in the Taixue Hall, and now the warships on the lake of the Jingwu Naval Division, except for a few ships under their feet (but have been transformed into cargo ships), are mainly called "Breaking the Wind" battleships and "Longao" building ships.

The "Breaking Wind" battleships were more of a surprise attack ship, paying attention to lightness and briskness, and the size was not very large.

And the "Longao" building ship is set up on the third floor, eight feet high, painted with vermilion paint, the shell is wrapped in iron armor, the upper can run horses, the lower can garrison, the sound insulation is strong, even if one of the layers has been beaten into a pot of porridge, the next layer is even difficult to hear the sound. There are even dense arrow holes in the female wall, and once shot, the arrows are enough to fill some small boats.

Of course, the big ship with two floors in front of him, or the unknown building ship, although it is also covered with Dan lacquer, the female wall is smooth and porous, and there is no iron armor wrapping.

However, the ship has set up a huge racket lever, which is enough to smash some small and medium-sized boats, and if it is not for the inconvenience of movement in such a narrow river, the damage is only greater.

After all, these people have to pass through this big river, and if the people on the other side plan to stop them for an hour, then everyone will just rest in place for a while, and there is no need to fight for anything.

It's just the current situation, the other party didn't say anything, if he wanted to stop for a day, it would be difficult for everyone to wait for a day. Stop for a month, and everyone waits for a month?

There are sailors on the building ship who are lowering the anchor, and it seems that they really plan to fight a protracted war.

At this time, the door of the building boat opened, and several people dressed in household clothes ran out of it, but they walked arrogantly and swaggeringly, and they did not look like the owners of the family.

When they reached the side of the ship, holding the railing, they began to shout loudly: "Listen to the people on the other side! We are the people of the Settle Family! Our young master has taken a fancy to your ship, and is willing to pay double the price to buy it, if you agree, we will settle down and give you a day to unload the goods, if you don't agree......

They snorted, but the fool could hear the threat.

Qingzhou ghost riders have a pale face, even in Jianye City, they have never been threatened like this, who dares to stop in front of their iron hooves, they stepped on the horse's belly as soon as they clamped it, who cares which family you are?

It's just that this is on the water, even if the Jingwu horses can't swim in the water, they can't really swim slowly on the water to cut this boat.

"An family?" At this time, Gao Changgong didn't know where he came from, and he didn't worry much about the situation in front of him, just looked at the big ship opposite, "It's really interesting." ”

The Qingzhou ghost rider saluted for the first time, bowed his head and said, "General." ”

Although Qin Ke had been in Jingwu for almost two months, he was not a native of Jingwu after all, so he really didn't know anything about these things, so he could only ask: "An family?" Is it also the scholar clan of Jing Wu?"

Gao Changgong took a few steps forward, as if he wanted to see the whole picture of the ship, while the Qingzhou ghost rider bowed respectfully and stood on both sides with a solemn face, like a determined sentry.

"When you come to Jingwu, you will go straight to Jianye City, so what you have heard is only those large and small scholars in Jianye City, so naturally you don't know how to settle down. At the beginning, the state of Wu was divided, and the scholars had been fighting for more than a hundred years, even if Jing Wu had unified the entire territory of the Wu country now, it was impossible to gather all the scholars to Jianye City. Like the current largest Sun family, the Liu family, and ...... The Gao family, they moved to Jianye City in order to be able to participate in the government affairs, and their power was so great that they even ...... Wanling had to let them go a few points. Gao Changgong said, "But there are still some scholars who have been inherited for a hundred years, and they have deep roots in their hometowns, so they naturally refuse to give up their roots, and still stay in these places to be powerful. ”

Qin Ke nodded, probably understood, when the master once explained history to him, he also said some things about the local Haoqiang clan, so he wouldn't be confused: "So this An family is crowned king here?"

Gao Changgong smiled and said, "Feng Wang? This is not the Ji Dynasty of the year, the Ji Dynasty was because there were too many feudal feuds, and as a result, the lower levels rebelled, and the central government could not even come up with the money to support the army. Today, the four kingdoms of the world, from Canghai to Jingwu, all know the lessons of the previous dynasty, and who dares to easily crown the king? Just to canonize them some titles, the management of the place still has to be appointed by the central government. However, for these local families, it is not easy to find an official position and do things?"

"Plus...... Their local fame and large tracts of fiefdom are sometimes not well managed by the central government. However, as long as they do not participate in the government politics and only manage their own one-third of an acre of land with peace of mind, they will not be forced too much, so they will turn a blind eye. ”

"That'...... Why are they bothering us? It can't be because of the destruction of the embankment and flooding the fields?" Qin Ke inexplicably thought of the blood that washed away the execution ground in Jianye City for several days, those heads, they ......

Gao Changgong shook his head with a smile: "The scholars of Jianye City may be involved in this matter, but the An family will not." ”

"Why?"

Gao Changgong said to the acres of land on the bank that were still soaked in water: "The An family has been operating here for a long time, and this time the river burst its banks and submerged not only the people's fields, but also a large area of the fields where they settled down. As long as there is no famine, they will have a lot of income every year, and as soon as this flood comes, these acres will inevitably not be able to produce grain this year, and they will take risks to covet the disaster relief grain and stink their own reputation? If they were so stupid, they would have buried the loess many times......

Qin Ke sighed, looked at the big boat and asked helplessly: "Could it be that we occupy the river surface of this land snake, and he wants to talk to us?"

"Maybe. Gao Changgong pursed his lips and smiled.

Qin Ke stared at him sideways: "No, just because we walked this river, he can't cross with us, this is too unreasonable, right?"

Gao Changgong didn't answer, but asked the Qingzhou ghost rider beside him: "In addition to us, what are the other boats coming to Wu County from Jianye Chengguandu Port?" ”

Qingzhou Ghost Rider lowered his head and thought carefully for a while, and then replied: "There shouldn't be much, except for us, there should only be Sun Tingshi's boat, a few days ago he returned to the court to report the flood situation, and set sail a day earlier than us." ”

"Then it's clear. Gao Changgong said, "Sun Yi returned to Wu County, and he should have taken the same road as us, but the sequence was different. He was born in the Sun family, and this time the case of destroying the embankment and flooding the fields also involved many officials from the Sun family, and the An family must have grievances. It's just that this eldest young master of the An family ...... It's really a hot man, barrage the river to intercept the court officials, and I don't know what his family will think......"

"I'm afraid I'll also watch from the wall, right?" Gao Changgong thought to himself, "After all, even if the child's affairs are punished, they will not be punished too severely, and each family will always save some face." ”

After thinking for a while, Gao Changgong suddenly looked up at the big ship with a smile, and said to the people on the side: "It is estimated that we have been regarded as someone's target...... The embankment was destroyed and the fields were flooded, and the loss of the settlement was huge, so it is not surprising that they want to find some ground. ”

Abu looked at the approaching boat and said, "Brother Changgong, what should we do now? Why don't we send someone to explain to them?"

"Explain what?" Gao Changgong laughed, "Sun Yi is Jing Wu's assassin history, even if people are looking for the wrong person, they shouldn't stop us, is it possible that Sun Yi should be stopped? The officials sent by the central court were so frightened that they abandoned the ship and fled when they stopped them on the way? And then rented a few small boats to inspect the various disaster-stricken counties and counties, even if I was in charge of the army and didn't take charge of the government, I couldn't afford to lose this person today...... Let's go, lean over and take a look. ”

His words were naturally said to the Qingzhou ghost riders, even if the Qingzhou ghost riders were difficult to do anything as cavalry at such a time, but after all, they were born in Jingwu in the south, how many of them could really be landlubbers? And this group of Qingzhou ghost riders on the boat are all good at controlling boats, otherwise it would be impossible to stop the big boat so quickly on such a river.

With a respectful nod from the Qingzhou ghost rider standing beside Gao Changgong, he turned around, waved his arms upward, and shouted: "Forward!"

The sails of the big ship gradually turned in the clattering sound of the machine, and although there was no strong wind at the moment, the wide sails were enough to support the movement of the big ship, and the big ship slowly sailed towards the larger giant opposite.

Basically, in this territory, as long as they report the name of the An family, most people will wilt on the spot, even if they are tough men, they are afraid that they have to close their mouths and obediently, but this big ship is still coming up, so they are not afraid of the giant slap rod on their big ship?

Even if the difference in size between the two ships is not to the extent of a huge disparity, I am afraid that it will be more embarrassing than getting off the ship and leaving.

The leading housekeeper probably couldn't be the master, so he made a color to the side, and the housekeeper next to him understood, and suddenly ran towards the cabin with a smoke.

Qin Ke looked at the huge slap rod and said with some concern: "We're going to be fine, right?"

However, when he thought that Gao Changgong had been able to resist the giant claws of the divine dragon with one shot, he calmed down again, even though this slap was terrifying, it was not as powerful as the divine dragon, even if he hadn't seen Gao Changgong use his special spear these days, but obviously he should not only use a gun.

After a while, the building boat was already in front of him, and the tall hull made Qin Ke can't help but raise his head slightly, but the wind vision technique heard the voices of countless warblers and warblers ringing in his ears.

He tilted his head sideways, looking around with some confusion.
