Pirate Song

First of all, Gao Huaiyuan's kung fu came from something a little unclear. Although Gao Huaiyuan kept training himself along the way, it has only been a few years since he woke up. Gao Huaiyuan has grown from a silly boy to a

Gao Huaiyuan became a master of powerful kung fu. In just a few years, Gao Huaiyuan changed from a silly boy to a knowledgeable and smart man. The men around him were so tough that it was scary.

, they have iron-clad discipline, cooperate with each other very well, and are very loyal to Gao Huaiyuan, even risking their lives to protect Gao Huaiyuan, even though, as they said, they were all taken in by Gao Huaiyuan.

Orphans, they wouldn't be so loyal to Gao Huaiyuan! Did Gao Huaiyuan train them to become such dead soldiers?

Furthermore, although Gao Huaiyuan told him some secrets about the thunder explosion in his hand, Ji Xiancheng also felt that Gao Huaiyuan still had something to say that he had not fully told him. Why did Gao Huaiyuan do this? What was still going on in him?

How many secrets are buried?

In the past few years, what kind of adventures did Gao Huaiyuan have, or what kind of masters did he meet, that could make him, a once ignorant young man, quickly grow into a man who could make great contributions and run a huge industry?

What about young people?

The more Ji Xiancheng thought about it, the more he couldn't figure it out. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Gao Huaiyuan was in a fog and he couldn't see Gao Huaiyuan clearly. This was something he had never encountered before. Many people just took one look at him.

, he can generally look at each other. When he saw Gao Huaiyuan for the first time, he felt that Gao Huaiyuan was a very hot-blooded person. However, after getting in touch with him more, he found that Gao Huaiyuan was not only hot-blooded, but also had a kind of cunning hidden inside.

, is a very complex character.

Thinking of this, Ji Xiancheng became more and more interested in Gao Huaiyuan. He wanted to see what kind of secrets Gao Huaiyuan was hiding and what his plans were in his heart!

Sitting on the boat and watching the surging river water flowing past the sides of the boat, Gao Huaiyuan had to admire the ancient boat-building technology. A boat like this was driven only by sails? But for him, killing such an elf-like animal was too much.

This is unacceptable at any cost! People nowadays have little awareness of the protection of wild animals. Even he himself has been accustomed to hunting in the mountains frequently in recent years. Such behavior has gradually wiped out countless living beings in this world.

, he asked himself that he had no idea what to do about this kind of historical development.

"I see! But I still can't bear to hunt such a beautiful creature! Let it go!" Gao Huaiyuan shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, but still did not agree to let the boatman hunt this beautiful Baiji dolphin.

At this time, Ji Xiancheng happened to walk out of the cabin and saw this rare Baiji dolphin. Hearing Gao Huaiyuan's words, he came over and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Mr. Gao, you are really kind of a Bodhisattva sometimes!"

"As he said that, he sat next to Gao Huaiyuan.

"Mr. Ji, do you think I am a very contradictory person?" Gao Huaiyuan was in a good mood at the moment, so he started chatting with Ji Xiancheng.

Ji Xiancheng thought for a moment and nodded: "That's true. Please forgive Ji for speaking bluntly. Ever since he got to know the young master, he has become more and more unable to see through the young master! When the young master faced those thieves two days ago, he looked like a murderous god.

, but now when facing this fish, he has the heart of a Bodhisattva. Isn't this contradictory?"

"Haha! In fact, Mr. Ji still doesn't understand me very well! I'm not as complicated as you think. Many times I really want to survive. When facing the enemy, I learned to be merciless. Only in this way can I live longer.

Some! Don’t Mr. Ji think it’s not easy to come to this world? Now that he’s here, Gao doesn’t want to come here in vain! I don’t think Mr. Ji wants to spend his life doing nothing!

It's just that Mr. Ji seems to be a little discouraged now. Although I don't know what happened to Mr. Ji, I know that at least Mr. Ji was probably a passionate person before!

Gao sometimes thinks about how glorious our Han nation was in this world, but why have we now been reduced to living in the south of the Yangtze River? Where has the blood of us Han people gone now?" Gao said.

Huaiyuan cast his gaze towards the northern sky, lay on his back on the boat and said to Ji Xiancheng.

Ji Xiancheng looked at Gao Huaiyuan's eyes, moved slightly in his heart, and said: "Who said that we Han people have no blood? Think about how many heroes and patriots shed blood to regain the old land and revive the rivers and mountains. How can you say that we are

Why don’t the Han people have blood?

Let’s not talk about far away, let’s talk about the Jiaxuan layman Xin Qiji. He left so many popular poems. Which one of them doesn’t make your blood boil when you read it?

When Master Gao said this, he seemed to be belittling us Han people!"

"No! Mr. Gao has never derogated us Han people, but Mr. Ji can also think about it. Even if he is as heroic as Xin Qiji, even if he is an important minister of the imperial court, what kind of situation will he end up in? Let's not talk about this.

! I get angry when I mention this!" Of course Gao Huaiyuan knew who Xin Qiji was. There was no shortage of famous ministers and generals in the Southern Song Dynasty, but it was the emperor who failed to live up to his expectations, which made the Han people in the world can only look north with their swords, but were unable to achieve anything.

cause.

"Yes! It's okay not to say it. Nowadays, there are traitors and sycophants in power in the court. How many people have learned nothing but have no way to serve. I see that Young Master Gao is proficient in bow and horse, and he is also familiar with military books. Why not join the army and serve the country?

What? It's better to show what you have learned than if you become a county captain now!" Ji Xiancheng tentatively asked Gao Huaiyuan.

"Serving in the army? Gao Mou has never thought about this matter. Even if I have great abilities, I still have to be controlled by others in the army. How can I have the final say in fighting and peace? It's better to stay in the local area.

If I feel more comfortable, maybe I can do more locally!" Gao Huaiyuan shook his head.

Ji Xiancheng still didn't get any useful information from Gao Huaiyuan, but he could see some clues from Gao Huaiyuan's words, that is, Gao Huaiyuan was quite dissatisfied with the current imperial court and had no intention of working for the imperial court.

The fresh fish stewed in the clear river water tastes quite delicious even without any seasonings. This is a rare delicacy that can be enjoyed when traveling by land. Gao Huaiyuan ate it with chopsticks, praised the boatman's craftsmanship, and took out a piece of fish.

A small jug of wine was placed on the table, and Ji Xiancheng filled a glass.

The two people seemed to have their own secrets now, and they were both testing each other. Ji Xiancheng couldn't see through Gao Huaiyuan's true thoughts, and Gao Huaiyuan also couldn't see through Ji Xiancheng's thoughts. They just sat on the boat and chatted, trying to understand more clearly.

See through the other person a little bit.

After taking a sip of wine, Ji Xiancheng immediately shouted: "Good wine! What kind of wine is this? It's so sweet!"

"This wine is called Shenxian Zui! This is the only wine in the world that can be called strong wine! After Mr. Ji goes to Daye County with me this time, if you want to drink this wine, just ask, I promise to satisfy Mr. Ji

!" Gao Huaiyuan said smugly.

"Then Ji has to thank the young master! I didn't expect that when I came to Daye County with the young master this time, I could actually taste such fine wine. Ji, I think my trip was well worth it!" Ji Xiancheng was overjoyed. Since he was frustrated in officialdom, he

He fell in love with drinking, and drank a lot of the best wines in the world, but it was the first time for him to drink this kind of divine drunkenness that Gao Huaiyuan brought out today. After one sip of wine, he felt that all other wines in the world had lost their taste.

, grabbed the wine bottle unceremoniously and filled himself another glass.

The two of them were eating fish and drinking, and got along well. Suddenly, they heard the sound of war drums coming from the river. Gao Huaiyuan put down his chopsticks and looked curiously in the direction of the drums. He saw groups of different sizes.

The ships were arrayed on the river, as if they were practicing.

"This is the navy of the Ezhou Dutong Division practicing on the river. If you are interested, sir, you might as well take a look!" A son of an old boatman walked into the cabin carrying a plate of grilled fish and said to Gao Huaiyuan.

Gao Huaiyuan stood up immediately. He already knew that the reason why the Southern Song Dynasty was able to maintain peace in the south of the Yangtze River for more than a hundred years was basically due to the contribution of the navy. Before the Yuan Dynasty established a powerful navy in this era, the navy of the Southern Song Dynasty was

The navy is definitely the most powerful navy in the world. Although the infantry of the Southern Song Dynasty suffered repeated defeats in battles with the Jin army, the navy made great achievements in the battle against the Jin army, so much so that it soon developed into a military force.

It was an important branch of arms that was comparable to the army, and its performance was much better than that of the army. It played a vital role in the Southern Song Dynasty in maintaining half of the country in the south of the Yangtze River.

Although Gao Huaiyuan served in the army for more than a year, he basically fought on land and rarely came into contact with the navy. It was rare to encounter the Ezhou navy drill today, so he walked out of the cabin with great interest and looked up.

This naval force roughly consists of dozens of warships of various types, divided into two groups, and they are conducting attack drills against each other. With the sound of war drums, the ships of various colors advance and retreat in a controlled manner, which looks quite spectacular.

Gao Huai couldn't see clearly from a distance, so he called Liu'er and said: "Liu'er! Bring me the telescope in my package!"

Liu Er hurriedly returned to the cabin and took out the telescope carried by Gao Huaiyuan and handed it to Gao Huaiyuan. Gao Huaiyuan raised the telescope and began to carefully watch the naval drill. He saw several large ships as the main warships, dispatching and commanding from the center.

Some small boats around are constantly changing various formations. Compared with the army, they are not very impressive.

But what was a little strange to Gao Huaiyuan was that those large ships actually had no sails and were still traveling at a constant speed on the river. He immediately became curious, so after adjusting the telescope, he could clearly see how many ships there were on both sides.

A wheel, which stirs the water surface as the wheel rotates, providing power to the ship.

"Cars and boats! The navy uses cars and boats!" Gao Huaiyuan suddenly became excited and cried out. He had heard of this kind of cars and boats for a long time, but he rarely walked on the river. It was only now that he saw this for the first time.

The cultivation of carts and ships can be regarded as a great invention of the ancient Chinese. The shipbuilding technology of the Southern Song Dynasty can be said to have reached the peak of ancient times. In this era, human-driven paddle steamers were built. Gao Huaiyuan had to admire the ingenuity of the ancient Chinese.

Hearing Gao Huaiyuan's exclamation, Ji Xiancheng curiously looked at the strange copper pipe in Gao Huaiyuan's hand. From such a distance, he could hardly see what shape the navy's ship was, but Gao Huaiyuan could only use this copper pipe.

Guanzi could tell that the ships used by the navy were vehicles and boats, which greatly aroused Ji Xiancheng's curiosity.

"What is this thing in Master Gao's hand? Why can you see the naval vessel clearly, but Ji can't?" Ji Xiancheng couldn't bear it any longer, so he asked Gao Huaiyuan.

Gao Huaiyuan put down the telescope on his eyes, handed it to Ji Xiancheng's hand, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ji, can you take a look? This thing is made by me. It's called a telescope. Through it, you can see distant places that are invisible to the naked eye."

place!”

Ji Xiancheng quickly took the so-called telescope from Gao Huaiyuan's hand, brought it close to his eyes and looked into the distance, and wondered: "Weird! Why does this thing seem to be getting farther and farther away?"

Gao Huaiyuan suddenly sweated when he turned his head. He stretched out his hand and turned the telescope in front of Ji Xiancheng, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ji held it upside down! You have to look at it from this end!"

Ji Xiancheng was also greatly embarrassed, but he still couldn't resist the temptation and quickly looked into the distance through the camera: "Huh? You really can see very far! It's much clearer! Yes, it's really good. It's really a navy car and ship! This is it!"

It’s a divine thing!”

After the two watched the naval drill for a while, as the ship gradually moved away, the navy ship headed upstream ahead of their boat, and then they returned to the cabin and sat down again.

"This kind of chariots and boats has been around for a long time. It is said that in the pre-Tang Dynasty, some people made chariots and boats to travel on the river. But the real use of chariots and boats in water battles was probably the Dongting Lake bandit Yang Mo during the Shaoxing period of Emperor Gaozong in the early years.

The thieves used a large number of them, and Yang Mo's naval army used a large number of such vehicles and boats. The government troops were repeatedly defeated in the Dongting Lake area. Fortunately, Marshal Yue went on a personal expedition and wiped out the thieves. Marshal Yue also used the captured thieves' vehicles and boats to build a

After becoming the commander-in-chief of the navy of Ezhou, they began to use a large number of vehicles and boats! Because of the precedent of Yang Mo's thief army, privately built vehicles and boats are now not allowed to be built privately, and only the navy can use them. Therefore, it is not common on weekdays, but this boat is indeed

I am the weapon of the navy of the Song Dynasty. I have repeatedly defeated the Jin army for many years and prevented them from going south. It is a great military achievement!" After Ji Xiancheng sat down, he explained the origin of the carriages and ships to Gao Huaiyuan. After all, he had read more than Gao Huaiyuan, so

He knew much more about the use of vehicles and ships in the Southern Song Dynasty than Gao Huaiyuan.

"Oh! I have heard of this kind of chariot and boat for a long time, but I just saw it today. It is really majestic! No wonder the Jin army invaded the south many times and returned without success. I think the navy army must have contributed a lot! But this kind of chariot and vessel is still powerful.

There are some inconveniences. The resistance of the paddle wheels on both sides is too high, which makes the center of gravity of the ship too high. It cannot withstand large winds and waves, and it is also inconvenient to maneuver. This is the disadvantage of the paddle wheel ship! But it is quite good to have such a warship now.

Not bad!" Gao Huaiyuan nodded repeatedly, and then talked about some of the disadvantages of this kind of vehicle and boat.

"Oh? It seems that Young Master Gao is quite proficient in shipbuilding! He actually pointed out so many shortcomings of vehicles and ships with just one glance. It seems that Young Master Gao has some ideas about improving such vehicles and ships?" Ji Xiancheng asked in surprise.

road.

"Haha! I just said it casually. How can anyone be proficient in shipbuilding? It's just hearsay! It can't be taken seriously!" Gao Huaiyuan knew that he had said too much.

"I just heard that Young Master said that you made this telescope. This thing is really magical. How could Young Master Gao create such an ingenious thing? Now Young Master Gao is making Ji more and more curious!" Ji Xiancheng held Gao Huaiyuan's hand.

That telescope was filled with emotion.dd
