lazy tang

Chapter 620 Liu Rengui

More than a dozen bulls pulled the winch at the same time, and the huge gate slowly opened.There was a huge cheer from the crowd as the floodgates opened.September is the wet season of the Yangtze River, and the turbid water rushes into the dock.As the water level rose, the ship, which was more than twenty feet high, seemed to come to life in an instant.

The water slowly lifted the huge hull, and the huge boat began to shake from side to side, as if trying to break free from some kind of bondage!
Finally, the entire hull was lifted by the water.With the sound of a whistle, the muddy water in the dock rolled.The thick chimney began to smoke, and the water began to shake.The huge battleship slowly sailed out of the dock.

Lao Gao's face was full of tears. Being able to build such a battleship in this life is enough to shine in the annals of history.He even thought about retiring from this moment.Being able to retreat bravely at the peak moment will make your image always glorious and tall.But seeing Yun Hao with a calm face, Lao Gao quickly dismissed this idea.He also thought about building a giant ship with steel in his lifetime.

Xiao Gao was looking for possible water leaks like a mouse at the bottom of the boat, the bottom of the boat is now crowded with people.Each held a candle in his hand to see if there was any leak.There are also people who stand by the trough made of raw hemp and plant ash mortar, and fill it up as soon as they see a leak.

I have to say, the boat is very well built.The reputation of Gao's father and son is very strong. Hundreds of people searched back and forth for several hours, but there was not a single place where water seeped.

"Try driving in the Yangtze River!" Yun Hao was still a little worried.Inside the cofferdam of the shipyard, there was still no wind and waves.If it doesn't work in the Yangtze River, you can't even find the grave when you reach the sea.

The whistle sounded, and the giant ship slowly sailed into the Yangtze River along the excavated channel.The huge hull suddenly blocked half of the channel, and all the ships moved closer to the shore.No one knows what this huge, smoking monster is.

Although they don't know what this ship is for, they have a consensus.That is, if you collide with this boat, you will definitely be crushed into the bottom of the river by the huge hull.

"Is there a problem with the bottom of the boat?" Lao Gao was extremely nervous. The sound of the river waves hitting the side of the boat sounded like a giant drum to him.Lao Gao was very afraid of water seepage, although it was fine for such a big boat to see water.Moreover, watertight cabins are used between the hatches, and thick rubber is inlaid on the sides of the hatches of the watertight cabins to ensure that water does not seep after closing.But this is related to the reputation of the Gao family, Lao Gao is very afraid of smashing his own golden signboard.This is the diet of descendants!
After a while, a small high-pitched voice came out of the megaphone. "The bottom of the boat is fine, there is no place for water seepage."

Yun Hao didn't think that the two of them were full of food, and the shipbuilding industry was still in a very primitive state in this era.This is the first time in history that a large ship with hundreds of thousands of materials has appeared.Relying on the knowledge in his head, he forcibly raised Datang's technological status.But many basic industries cannot support such technology.

For example, Yunhao knew how to make firearms, but Datang's industrial level could not even manufacture the most primitive flintlock guns.Industry is a systematic thing, and this huge system is established.Not a few decades, don't even think about it.Tinkering with such a ship is already the limit of Datang's industrial system.

"Duke Chu! With this giant ship, why worry about Zhang Zhongjian's immortality. I don't know what name Chu Gong gave this ship?" Xu Jingzong sat on the deck, and the ship was extremely stable on the Yangtze River.It is almost the same as on land. Xu Jingzong believes that this kind of warship is almost invincible.

"Your Majesty has given the names of the ships. One is called Zhenhai and the other is called Dinghai. Before there is no one, Li Wenzhong and I are the captains of the two ships. The Zhenhai ship will stop here first, and it will be fine for the Dinghai ship to launch tomorrow. Go out to sea and see!"

"Don't wait for Li Wenzhong and the others?"

"If you count the days, Li Wenzhong has already entered the mouth of the Yangtze River. Let's go down the river, and we should be able to meet him." Yun Hao sighed helplessly, Zhang Zhongjian couldn't stop!In just over a month, several towns along the coast of Fujian and Zhejiang were robbed consecutively.

This fucking bastard burns, kills and loots everywhere he goes.He actually scalded the child with boiling water, and listened to the cry of the child for pleasure.The newborn baby was still crying and threw it to the mastiff.This is not something that people do. I admire Li Jing very much.If he hadn't been cut off at Yun's family, Li Jing's fate would have been extremely miserable today.

Originally intended to be three months for outfitting, now it can only be shortened to one and a half months.The rest can only be assembled while sailing.

The launch of Dinghai was as smooth as that of Zhenhai, which is the best news Yunhao has heard.Dragging black smoke, the two huge ships descended mightily along the Yangtze River.Huge warships filled the entire channel.All the passing ships were amazed.When they knew that this was Datang's latest warship, the people on both sides of the strait couldn't help cheering.The beards on the passing ships were all dumbfounded, and when dealing with Tang people, they were extremely humble.

Before arriving at the mouth of the Yangtze River, Yunhao waited for Li Wenzhong who had arrived.After receiving Yunhao's order, Li Wenzhong hurried to the Jiangnan Shipyard in order to see what the legendary giant ship looked like.

Despite making sufficient psychological preparations, Li Wenzhong was still taken aback.He had to look up at the warship as high as a mountain.The huge sense of oppression made him even have the urge to run away.

Climbing up to the deck along the rope ladder, Li Wenzhong touched here and there to see.No matter what is new, there is a tall and thin young man standing behind him.His face was dark, and he stood on the deck with his feet spread wide.Yun Hao estimated that the toes on the two feet inside the official boots must be trying to open.This is the sequelae of living on board all year round!
"Marshal! This is our new ship? My boy, it's so big." Li Wenzhong was so excited that his nose glowed red.The hand is stroking on the railing, as if stroking a woman's buttocks.My saliva is about to flow down, I'm so disgusted.

"Wipe your drool, we will have more and more ships of this kind in the future. According to His Majesty, at least ten ships should be built. The sea in the future will be the world of our Great Tang."

"Haha! Marshal, with such a ship, brothers can sail the ship to the sky. But where is the sail of this ship, Marshal?" Li Wenzhong's excitement slowed down a little when he heard that ten warships were about to enter service one after another. .If there is too much of anything, it will be no surprise.Now he is a little lucky that Yun Hao got him into the navy.In the whole sea, he is the biggest.What he said was heaven!Of course, this is when Yunhao is not at sea.

Look at those colleagues in Chang'an City, each one of them lives extremely aggrieved.There is a group of old people pressing down on the top, and there are still a large number of young people who want to take the lead.That was the two sides being attacked, and the civil servants were still staring at each other all day looking for trouble.If the fart is too big to impeach, if the emperor doesn't want to see him, maybe he will capsize.The wealth gained by licking blood with the knife head flew away in an instant.

There were still some complaints before, but now I want to transfer Li Wenzhong back to Chang'an, but Li Wenzhong doesn't do it.

"How can it be done without a sail? Do we need to use a paddle?" Before Li Wenzhong could speak, the young man behind him said in amazement.

Li Wenzhong raised his hand and gave him a slap, "You are talking nonsense in front of the commander-in-chief. If the commander-in-chief says you don't need a sail, then you don't need a sail. There's no place for you to intervene here!"

The young officer was slapped on the face, but his feet remained motionless.His body stood upright like a nail, and his eyes were full of rebelliousness.In his heart, a ship without sails is nothing.You can still walk in the river downstream, but you are a living target in the sea.This general is good at everything, but he is too young to know how to fight.

"You're really right, my boat is really paddled." Yun Hao looked at the young man and said with a smile.

"Ah! Really paddling? Why didn't I see it?" Li Wenzhong lay on the side of the boat and looked down. Yun Hao was very afraid that his naval commander would just fall into the Yangtze River.It is more than ten feet above the water surface, and it is no different from hitting the water surface at this height as hitting the concrete floor.

Pulling Li Wenzhong back, he kicked his ass and said, "The propeller is underwater. If you want to see it, you can dive under it. However, anyone who is lucky enough to see it will die ugly. The huge power of the propeller can Easily cut a person in half."

"Propeller?" Although he didn't know what a propeller was, Li Wenzhong felt that the boat was not slow at all.The speed is faster than hanging a half sail by yourself.There are so many boats in the Yangtze River, who the hell will be idle and hang their sails.

"This is a brand-new power. Xiao Gao will take you around the ship in a while. From now on, this is your ship. It is necessary to understand the performance and structure of the warship. Let your shrimp soldiers and crab generals come up and follow the ship as soon as possible. We will study. In half a month, we will face Zhang Zhongjian. Time is tight!" As soon as Yun Hao finished speaking, Xiao Gao jumped off the bridge with a smile on his face.

"Where did this kid come from?" Yun Hao glanced at the young man behind Li Wenzhong, and he must be a confidant to bring Li Wenzhong to him.

"The humble Liu Rengui pays homage to the commander!" Seeing Yun Hao asking himself, before Li Wenzhong could say anything, Liu Rengui knelt down on the ground and paid respects to Yun Hao.

"Marshal, this is a capable lieutenant under his command. He is from the Wei family of Bianzhou, and his ancestors belong to the royal family of the Han Dynasty."

"Yo! It's still a former royal family, and now you're hanging out with you? Can you endure the hardships of being at sea?" Yun Hao looked Liu Rengui up and down, but he didn't expect to meet a big Han royal family here.This guy was only in his 20s when he died, and his black eyeballs were so black that they shone brightly.I heard people say before that the eyes of purebred Han people are all pure black.Especially the inside of the pupil, which is all black.

However, the Sinicized Hu people and the Huhua Han people are running rampant in the world these days.The eyeballs of these people are more or less brown.It seems that this descendant of the Han royal family is very likely to be real.

"This kid used to be a county lieutenant of Chencang, because he beat Captain Zhechong to death with a torture stick. He was sent to Hebei for his crime. It just so happened that there was a shortage of people under his subordinates. He was recruited on the boat, not to mention that landlubbers will flop after entering the water. From small soldiers Let’s start, after all these years of hard work, he has been promoted to the rank of captain. The subordinates saw that this kid can read and write, and I specially showed it to you, the commander. If you remind me, it is his good luck.”

"Chencang County Wei? How old is he?" Yun Hao looked at Liu Rengui's face in a daze. At his current age, Chen Cangxian Wei would be too young, not to mention he had worked with Li Wenzhong for several years.

"In the words of the commander-in-chief, this subordinate will be thirty to four this year." Liu Rengui, who was kneeling on the ground, replied.

Fuck me!There really are some fucking people who don't look old. If this guy is in later generations, I'm afraid it will be another Jimmy Lin.However, it is more like the African version of Jimmy Lin.Li Wenzhong said that he had worked hard at sea to become a captain, and he didn't seem to be lying.

"It's not easy for Li Wenzhong to recommend you, so just follow my commander. Since you can read, then stay on the Zhenhai and join the army as a recorder." These days, there are really not many people who can read and write.Only 300 people graduate from the academy a year, and now they are the targets of the Tang Dynasty's government and the people.According to a letter from Mr. Yu, there are more than 3000 people who just came to sign up for the start of school this year.The academy has already had to conduct entrance examinations, trying to select those children who have some foundation.

"No! Thank you, Marshal!" Hearing that Yun Hao stayed behind, he immediately proposed to join the army as a recorder.Liu Rengui was so excited that he almost jumped up, the commander was right.As this master has meat to eat, it seems that from now on, he will call this man who is much younger than him handsome.How did you rise to a high position at such a young age?Liu Rengui is very curious!
But compared to Yunhao, Liu Rengui was more curious about this ship without sails.As for the propeller that Yunhao said, he didn't believe even a single punctuation mark.I have been on the water for several years, but I have never heard of propellers.Liu Rengui thinks that Yunhao is just a fool, to show the superior IQ of the superior.

"Look carefully, study hard. This is your future, and you have to follow it. How can you be a captain if you don't know how to ship? Let those guys under your hands be cleaned and come up. Talk to the master worker Don't open his mother's mouth, it's my mother's. Let me hear it and tear his mouth." Yun Hao said, pointing to Li Wenzhong who was groping around.

"No! The subordinates will remember the commander's order!" Li Wenzhong said with a bow.On the face facing the deck, the mouth is drawn to the back of the head.I don't know who always talks about my mother and father, what kind of generals lead what kind of soldiers.This is really true, the gang of my own.The first is to be able to grab, and the second is to be wild, more like a pirate than a navy.There is no need to die in a war, and the swarms of bees will go to prostitutes when they go ashore.With a lot of bad words in his mouth, he relied on these bastards to force Gao Li to not go into the sea.

Soon, groups of naval officers and soldiers climbed up the rope ladder.Yun Hao looked at the dense crowd like ants.Is this the future Datang Navy?
