The Nameless of the Common Clans
Chapter 672: Giant Ship
Ganyu is located about seventy miles north of Yuzhou Mountain, the easternmost part of Donghai County. Donghai County is already remote. Although Ganyu is a county, its population may not be as large as that of a larger township. The largest number are fishermen. Beginning in the twelfth year of the grant, Chen Mo sent Ma Jun to the East China Sea to secretly build sea ships. At the same time, he also sent willing generals from all parties to try to train the navy. In a blink of an eye, three years later, Ganyu is still the most remote place in the East China Sea. County town, but it has a somewhat different atmosphere.
"Madam, are you here so early to deliver meals to your husband?" On the pier by the sea, the sun was shining brightly and the sea breeze was gentle. Several shirtless craftsmen looked with envy at the tall woman walking towards them carrying a food box.
"Is there a problem?" Lu Lingqi's heroic eyebrows twitched and she glanced sideways at a few people. Her pair of phoenix eyes were beautiful but sharp. With such a glance, the craftsmen who wanted to make fun of her turned into quails one by one. , this bitch can hold down pirates and beat her up. It's okay to make fun of her on weekdays, but once you see this kind of look, you'd better shut up.
"Don't dare, I'll show you the way~" The foreman quickly put down his work, nodded and bowed.
"No need, just do your own thing!" Lu Lingqi carried the food box and continued to move forward. Not all the craftsmen here were sent by the imperial court, many of them were snatched from pirates.
The so-called pirates are not actually on overseas islands. Many of them are fishermen or powerful clans in the Yuzhou Mountain area. The navy is trained here, so these pirates naturally become the best targets for military training. Some know how to build ships. The craftsmen were robbed, and they usually mingled in the den of thieves. Now they have a decent identity, but the dirty words on their lips have become a habit. Most of the women at the seaside have rough skin, but Lu Lingqi has delicate skin and beautiful appearance. Tall women, not to mention uncommon in places like this, have never been seen before. In addition, Liu Yi looks gentle and elegant, even if he is an official, these people will inevitably have the instinct to bully her.
Liu Yi has a good character. Basically, if you don't mess with him, he won't mess with you. But if you really mess with him, he will deal with people in a set way. It can make your life worse than death, but it's not enough to make people afraid. , it was Liu Yi’s woman who really shut up these craftsmen who had been snatched from the pirates. If they said just two words, they would attack you. There had been a pirate leader who was captured as a coolie before, and his words were unruly and frivolous. , was beaten to death by Lu Lingqi.
He was born as a prisoner, and he came here to work for his crimes. Now that he was beaten to death, no one came forward, and no one dared to come forward. Liu Yi easily settled all the official issues in this matter, and then Hai A dozen of the bandit leader's men were dissatisfied and wanted revenge. Lu Lingqi easily beat him up and threw himself into the sea to feed the fish. After following a set of procedures, he was more proficient than the pirates. From then on, Liu Yi still looked like a good old man and came to study every day. Even though he got acquainted with Liu Yi later and knew that Liu Yi was easy to get along with, he was no longer so reserved in his words. No one dared to be lazy with Liu Yi or go against his will.
Later, the navy trained here and naturally became more honest.
"Husband." When she saw Liu Yi in the shipyard, the cold expression on Lu Lingqi's face disappeared, as if the spring snow had melted, and she became gentle and quiet. She placed the food box next to Liu Yi and helped him thoughtfully. Wiping his sweat: "Let's eat first."
"Well, thank you Madam." Liu Yi put down his work and said with a smile.
"My husband has been working hard all day long, and I'm just doing my job, so how can I be tired?" Lu Lingqi said softly.
"Eh~" The craftsmen who came in carrying the wood shuddered collectively when they saw Lu Lingqi's appearance. This woman did one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes. Liu Yi looked at Wenwen's weakness and didn't know what to do. How to tame this tigress so well-behaved.
"Sir." At this moment, a soldier ran in and saluted Liu Yi.
"What's the matter?" Liu Yi put down his food and asked.
"The king is here." The craftsman bowed.
Chen Mo's honor guard came to Ganyu yesterday, and Liu Yi went to pay a visit, saying that he was coming to see the ships today, but he didn't expect it to be so early.
"Hurry up and greet us!" Liu Yi stood up quickly, and before he could go out to greet him, he saw a group of men and horses coming in. Dian Wei's liger-like physique was quite eye-catching in the crowd, and he was surrounded by thirty personal guards. , protecting Chen Mo in the middle like stars over the moon.
"See you, Your Majesty!" Liu Yi and Lu Lingqi stood up to greet him.
"Are you eating?" Chen Mo saw the food box behind Liu Yi and said with a smile, "Eat first, don't be in a hurry, I'll show you around first."
Liu Yi nodded, but of course he couldn't finish the meal. Even if Liu Yi said so, he couldn't just eat it in front of Liu Yi. It would be very embarrassing.
"Lingqi, see you, Your Majesty." Lu Lingqi saw Chen Mo looking over and bowed slightly.
"Well, I've heard a lot about things here. She is indeed the daughter of Marquis Wen, and a fierce general." Chen Mo nodded: "I have been friends with Marquis Wen for a long time, and we have known each other many years ago. Lingqi You can also call me uncle."
"Here!"
It was a bit depressing to say that Chen Mo found that the children of his peers were all about the same age as him, Cao Cao was the same, Lu Bu was the same, and Lu Lingqi was now in her thirties, and she looked more like a younger sister than a junior.
"Your Majesty, please move with me." Liu Yi bowed and said.
"Okay." Chen Mo nodded and followed Liu Yi to the beach. Lu Lingqi did not follow. She knew the rules better than her father on big occasions.
Liu Yi took Chen Mo and Dian Wei to the beach, and saw a huge warship in the distance. Although Chen Mo had experienced the dream battlefield, such a large warship also shocked Chen Mo.
"How big is this ship!?" Dian Wei on the side stared at the warship.
"This captain is twenty feet long and seven feet wide." Liu Yi shouted to the ship, and someone put down the ladder. Then he looked at Chen Mo and apologized: "Because it hasn't happened yet, I won't get on the boarding board."
"It doesn't matter!" Chen Mo shook his head. He was not a helpless person, so he immediately climbed up with Liu Yi.
After getting on the boat, the craftsmen around him quickly greeted him.
Chen Mo waved his hand and signaled them to continue doing their own thing. Looking at the wide deck, he couldn't help but admire: "Although I have never seen the Jiangdong Tower Ship, this ship built by Boyuan must be the best in the world. "
"Generally, the flat-bottomed boats are so big that they can easily capsize. I have seen how the Jiangdong flat-bottomed boats are built. They are mainly flat-bottomed. They are fine for sailing on the river, but if they are on this sea, they will easily capsize. But the Lord said It is said that keel boats are different, with heavy wood as the bottom. It is tapered, but the heavy wood can balance the hull. Even in the waves, it can ride the wind and waves without being drowned by the waves. It is a pity that there are not many suitable keels, otherwise the hull can be built larger. "Liu Yi introduced Chen Mo as he walked.
"It's quite impressive!" Chen Mo said with emotion as he looked at the huge hull.
"The captain of this ship is twenty feet eight feet long, seven feet three feet wide, and about six feet high. It can be divided into four layers. The lowest layer is only eight feet. It is stuffed with heavy objects to stabilize the hull. The upper layer is one foot long. It is used to store goods, and the next floor is a warehouse for boatmen to rest. The next floor is two feet and two feet wide, with a gap inside for strong men to row with oars. The next floor is a resting place for soldiers, which is two feet long. "Liu Yi introduced as he walked: "This ship can carry six hundred troops and horses. The bow is the strongest and is covered with copper sheets. When facing the enemy, it can be directly rammed. It can be equipped with three ship cannons and can also be equipped with crossbows for attack. Along the ship's edge These wooden boards can be dismantled and used as parapets. There are two floors on the ship. The uppermost floor can be a watchtower to observe the enemy's situation. It is three feet higher than the ship's board. This mast is connected to the keel and is equipped with sails to take advantage of the wind. If there is a favorable wind, A thousand miles a day is nothing to worry about.”
Chen Mo followed Liu Yi in a circle, nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay, with such a giant ship, why be afraid of Soochow?"
Dian Wei watched in amazement. He suddenly turned to look at Liu Yi and said, "Bo Yuan, the hull of the ship doesn't seem to be shaking."
"First, the keel method created by my lord makes the hull quite stable. Not to mention such winds and waves, it is difficult to shake even the strong winds and waves. Furthermore, the hull is quite heavy. The heavier the boat, the less likely it is to shake. Liu Yi explained with a smile.
"I think this ship is more magnificent than the palace." Dian Wei said in wonder.
Chen Mo brought Liu Yi to Chuanwan. He leaned over and looked down. The boat was six feet high, but at least two feet were submerged in the water. But looking down at the remaining four feet, it was still higher than most city walls. After thinking about it, Thinking about it, Chen Mo looked at Liu Yi and said: "Although this ship is good, it is difficult to make an army with a single boat. If the enemy approaches with a small boat and builds a ship under the bottom, I am afraid it will be difficult to fight against this big ship."
"What my lord said is true." Liu Yi nodded and said: "In addition to this ship, in the past two years, I have also built three small ships more than eight feet tall, guarding the side, and more than three hundred fighting ships, all of which are It is built according to the keel structure, and is now being taken out to sea by General Yu Sheng to search for enemy traces. It will be seen when General Yu Sheng returns. "
"Okay!" Chen Mo nodded with satisfaction. With this fleet here, he didn't believe Jiangdong Navy could win. Even if he had never seen Jiangdong Navy, he probably wouldn't be as powerful as this ship.
Dian Wei on the side looked around and couldn't help but admire it. After the two of them finished talking, Dian Wei grinned and said: "This is not a boat. If we really fight, it will feel almost like a siege."
Chen Mo nodded. It was indeed like attacking a city, but the difference was that the ship was not as strong as the city wall, but it could move.
"When can Yu Sheng and the others come back?" Chen Moxiao asked. He couldn't wait to see his navy now.
"It's hard to say. The winds and clouds on the sea are unpredictable. Every time I set sail, I will bring enough food and grass for a month. Sometimes I can come back in three to five days, and sometimes it may take half a month." Liu Yi said with a smile: "My lord, there is one more thing. ”
"Oh?" Chen Mo looked at Liu Yi.
"A few months ago, we brought back some overseas people at sea. According to them, they are the people of Mahan. It seems that we can take the land of three Koreas directly from here."
