back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 328
Hearing the word water thief, Zhu Quanyuan's face was slightly embarrassed, but fortunately, he adjusted his mentality very well, and laughed it off.

The three of them had their own concerns, and led the Tiger Wing Army back to the shore of Shuibo.It took a lot of effort to transfer ships from the Yellow River to Liangshan.Otherwise, with the speed of the warship, it would have arrived long ago.

These days, the speed of boating is much faster than walking.Although the Tiger Wing Army is not good at water warfare, they are still good at paddling.However, the channels of the various rivers are blocked, because Emperor Sui Yang did not dig the Grand Canal in this time and space, and the various water systems are still not connected.That is Liangshanshuibo, after the Yellow River diverted from Huazhou, it flowed into Liangshanshuibo. There is still a shallow river channel, so that the Tiger Wing Navy of the Imperial Army can drive this old warship to Liangshanshuibo.

Zhu Quanyuan was absent-minded, and also saw that this old warship was still in the style of 50 years ago. It was not a large vehicle and boat, but a warship that could only move forward with sails and sailors rowing the sculls.

This kind of warship will suffer a lot from speed in water battles.If the enemy has large long-range attack weapons such as bed crossbows and trebuchets, it is a slow-moving water target waiting to be harvested.With the help of the wind, he could barely fight.But this is under the premise that one's own ships are twice as many as the opponent's.And these fifty antiquated warships are not enough for a quarter of the Flying Fish Gang. How easy is it to win?

Besides, Dongping Mansion is a low-lying place, and there are only a handful of windy days.Most of the time, the water surface of Liangshan Water Park is calm.It is too difficult to take advantage of the weather.However, this place is relatively close to the sea, if there is a typhoon coming, maybe they can use the wind force.But no one else knows the power of the typhoon. Isn't Zhu Quanyuan still clear?Under the power of the sky, if you don't enter the water village in time to avoid the wind, let alone a ship made of wood, even if it is made of iron, it will be overturned!
This river boat is not a sea boat, and has a high center of gravity. If it encounters a strong cross wind, it is not a surprise that it will be overturned.In addition, the bottom of this warship is flat and cannot ride through the waves.If there is a typhoon, the wind will howl, and the turbid waves will be empty; the sun and stars will be hidden, and the mountains will hide;Not to mention this old warship, even that new type of vehicle and boat may not be able to hold it!
Zhu Quandi has been with ships for ten years, and has long been familiar with the performance of various types of ships.Since Fatty Lu wanted him to tell the truth, he told the truth he knew.

After hearing this, Lu Chenhuan felt depressed for a while.I thought that the support from the imperial court would be able to compete with the water pirates a little.If they could attack Liangshan, those mobs would definitely not be the opponents of the well-trained Dashun Forbidden Army.But the prerequisite is that you have to be able to attack Liangshan.This warship is not sharp enough for others, and even the number is smaller than others.If people don't come to beat you, it's just a matter of worshiping Buddha and burning incense.Counting on these warships to fight the Flying Fish Gang, which has more than [-] ships of various types, isn't it self-defeating?

Originally, when Lu Chenhuan saw this warship that was more than four feet high, thirty feet long, and three feet wide, he was secretly delighted: "This warship is the sharpest in the Dashun navy, right? Compared to Zhu Quanyu's, It’s not going down at all!”

But after Zhu Quanyuan's analysis, Fatty Lu knew that he was too happy.On the other hand, listening to Chen Fangyun, he seemed to have realized something: "Zhu Quanlong, you mean, if it is a hurricane, we have a chance of winning?" Hurricane is the name of typhoon at this time, but it is similar to that of later generations.

Zhu Quanhuang smiled wryly and said, "I don't know whether the vehicles and boats will be blown over. But these warships will definitely be blown over..." At first, Zhu Quanhuang was a little sullen when Chen Fangyun called his name.According to the folk custom at this time, it is disrespectful to call people by their names.Generally, according to his ranking in the family, he will be called Zhu Dalang, or Zhu Erlang, etc.As for scholars, those with Biaozi are called Biaozi, and those without Biaozi are called by their baby names.But Zhu Quandian thought that he had just surrendered at this moment, if Lu Chenhuan hadn't looked up to him, he would still be a prisoner, how could he have the right to ask others to respect him?Thinking about it this way, Zhu Quanyuan's tone also came down, replaced by a deep lament.

Hearing this, Chen Fangyun gritted his teeth and said, "Commander Lu, look, if I wait for the water bandits to come to a decisive battle on a hurricane day and leave them empty, I will ruin these fifty warships and make meritorious deeds in one fell swoop." , so what's the matter?"

When Lu Chenhuan heard it, he exclaimed loudly.But the power of the sky is unpredictable, when will the typhoon come?After Fatty Lu asked this question, it was Chen Fangyun's turn to be dumbfounded.He is not a Taoist priest who calls the wind and rain, let alone a dragon in the sky who moves the clouds and rains. How can he call the typhoon?
And Zhu Quanyu, who was terrified at the side, was frightened into a cold sweat, and said in his heart: "These god-killing officers and soldiers can even think of such a wicked scheme! Fortunately, I surrendered, otherwise, I would be a real loser." It’s a hurricane, and they have fallen into their tricks, so don’t you come here to seek your own death?”

Zhu Quanyuan, who has experienced a super typhoon, naturally understands that the power of heaven and earth cannot be resisted by manpower.Only by waiting for the typhoon to weaken can it be considered that disaster has been avoided.However, Dongping Mansion is still far away from the sea, and ordinary typhoons can't blow here at all.In the past ten years, Zhu Quanyuan only saw one strong typhoon, which only damaged the hulls of two or three ships that were too late to take shelter from the wind.As for the devastating typhoon that the older generation of fishermen said, he had never seen it before.

Zhu Quanjian said with lingering fear: "The power of heaven and earth can be measured by ordinary people. This action will harm the peace of heaven, so it is better not to use it, as if I didn't say it..."

Lu Chenhuan lacked interest and thought he would be able to complete the battle, but it was still nothing.Looking at the old warship and the lack of training of the sailors, Fatty Lu lost any fighting spirit.

Fatty Lu couldn't be blamed for this, he didn't know that training a navy cost much more money than training an infantry.Although the training cost of the cavalry army is not as good as Dashun's lack of horses, but in all dynasties, the navy is a more noble arm than the infantry.Why did the Ming Dynasty in the official history not be able to play with the navy, but closed the country?The navy is a military service that burns money, and the taxes in the Ming Dynasty are so low, it has to be stopped!In addition, the world was peaceful in the early Ming Dynasty, and no one dared to provoke the empire established by the domineering emperor Zhu Yuanzhang. Naturally, the short-sighted courtiers thought that building ships and setting up a navy would cost too much money and the treasury could not be financed, so they slowly began to close themselves.

Fatty Lu looked at the Tiger Wing Army who was not standing upright and their armor was crooked, and he couldn't help getting angry.Although the Tiger Wing Army was not under his command originally, when they arrived at Dongping Mansion, it was his business.Fatty Lu, who was upset in his heart, suddenly gritted his teeth to Chen Fangyun and said: "Chen Duyu, I am ordering your Tiger Wing Army now to take a break today. I will wake up for a good drill tomorrow, including all the forbidden troops. If Brother Zhu says no, You can't be regarded as practiced!"

Chen Fangyun didn't expect that this Lu Chenhuan would turn his back when he said he would turn his back, without any sign.He didn't know what kind of pride Fatty Lu went through, and then he was beaten in the face, and finally he went to the edge of the Liangshan River, looking at the lake and sighing.If he were to command the [-] forbidden troops, Chen Fangyun might be many times worse than Lu Chenhuan!
He cursed in his heart, but he had to obey in his mouth. Who told him to be his immediate boss at this moment?Chen Fangyun immediately cupped his hands and said, "Decree!"

Lu Chenhuan didn't say anything, and walked back to the camp alone, full of disappointment.
