lazy tang

Chapter 621 The Great Storm

Yunhao has been very busy and irritable recently.The battle to destroy the Eastern Turks was the glory of the empire, but it also cost the empire a lot of vitality.Li Er is a sensible person. Before the vitality is restored, the Tang Empire will not wage a second war.

Peace is the nightmare of the army, and the value of soldiers is reflected in war.Having too many armies in Taiping years is a disaster, not a blessing.With a military horse in his hand, Li Er would unconsciously want to kill something.Because the army itself is an unstable factor, Li Er is the emperor immediately.Naturally, he knew what the soldiers wanted. Everyone wanted merit, and everyone wanted wealth.

But Datang's national strength is limited, and it cannot afford to support so many idlers.This is Li Er, whose attention has been focused on the bloated noble class of the Tang Dynasty in recent years.And think of ways to reduce swelling for this class!

It is the unanimous agreement of the honorable class of the Tang Dynasty that wealth and honor are exchanged for one's life.But now with the sword in hand, he couldn't find an opponent.Yunhao's commanding expedition brought hope to the nobles.The only army fighting now is the navy under Yun Hao's command.

Countless hairy young men were sent from the capital, and they all bowed without saying a word.As soon as he called out to be handsome, he was ready to kill people with a knife.Among them, Cheng Chumo, the son of Cheng Yaojin, is the most vigorous.Shirtless under the sun, he slammed his fists on the tree.The rough bark was smashed to pieces by his fist.

Looking at his own hands, looking at Cheng Chumo's hands, Yun Hao felt that he would embarrass the general by doing so.

One letter after another was more bloody than the other. After reading these letters, Yunhao felt that these guys didn't seem like legitimate sons.It looks like it was born by a maid!In the final analysis, the child sent you this.It is up to you whether to send them to carry explosives to blow up bunkers, or to charge forward as cannon fodder.Even during training, it's okay to be beaten to death.

For the sake of the children's future and the wealth of the family, the nobles are going all out.Even if you die in battle, it can bring infinite grief to your family.It is far better than hanging around in Chang'an and finally drowning in a wine vat.

There is no need for Yun Hao to worry about things on the boat.Li Wenzhong handled the matter well, and took Xiao Gao to Huating when the ship docked.After returning, the two hooked up shoulder to shoulder and became best friends.Money and women can always quickly bring the distance between men closer.Of course, if it is not handled well.Money and women are also the main reasons for using the knife.

So Yunhao often saw soldiers and workers bored in the cabin together every day.Learn the operation and principles of various equipment, and at night it becomes a sea of ​​drunkards.The soldiers and workers all drank heavily with their arms around the jars, and ate large pieces of meat with their basins in their hands.

In order to quickly establish friendship between soldiers and workers, Li Wenzhong spent a lot of money.Every meal is big fish and big meat.Every few days, there is a feast of roasted whole lamb.The wine was steamed wine from the Yun family, except for the women, basically everyone who could get on the boat was brought in anyway.

They are all people who have been running the sea with Li Wenzhong for several years, and they know what the sea is like.For some places that are obviously unreasonable in design, they can also be corrected in time.Two huge warships entered the pages of history in an unprecedented manner.

Those little fellows from Chang'an, and the soldiers from the six southern prefectures assigned to Yunhao.They were carefully selected by Yunhao, and finally three thousand marines were selected.

Others don't know what's going on in Yizhou, but Yunhao still knows.It is impossible to surround such a large island with these few ships.Without a marine team capable of fighting, Zhang Zhongjian would definitely join him in playing hide-and-seek.In that case, I would not be able to return to Chang'an for ten years.

Leaving Huating means leaving the Yangtze River. The turbid Yangtze River water and the blue sea water form a clear dividing line.When we got to the sea, the wind and waves suddenly became much stronger.The huge boat kept bumping in the wind and waves, and the boiler was fully powered to test how fast the two ships could run.

Liu Rengui was surprised to find that such a huge boat had no sails yet.He actually ran faster than his previous sailboat. If he didn't think about his own life, he really wanted to dive into the water to see what that thing called a propeller was.

The huge bow smashed through the mountain-like waves, and the sea water smashed on the windshield of Jianqiao.In the distant sky, there are large swaths of dark clouds.The seagulls under the clouds flew towards the land quickly, and the turbulent waves were higher and higher.

"Marshal, let's go back to the Huating to hide for a while, can we bear such a big storm?" Li Wenzhong said worriedly.

No wonder he was worried, his men used to be sailing boats.This thing needs the help of the wind, but too much wind is a disaster for a sailboat.God knows where there are hidden reefs and eddies in this unknown sea area.In case of being hit by the sea wind and hitting the reef, the whole boat will not want to live.

"Hiding? The vast sea, you hid this time, where will you hide next time? Don't you dare to march along the coastline in your life? Our goal is the sea of ​​stars, and you may sail for a month or two in the future. On land, where will you hide at that time? In the sky?" Yun Hao glanced at Li Wenzhong coldly.

Li Wenzhong was a bit aggressive before, but since he tied up Li Jing and was suppressed by Li Jing infinitely, he has been a little hesitant in doing things.Although he was not careful enough to be afraid of hitting his head if he dropped a leaf, he became much more cautious.

I used to drive sailing boats, so the ability to resist wind and waves is naturally poor.Zhenhai and Dinghai are steam ships with internal power.There is a world of difference with sailing ships, but at this time we need to look at the wind resistance of these two ships.

"Uh...!" Li Wenzhong's face turned red, he didn't dare to speak anymore and could only stand beside Yunhao without saying a word.

"Let those sailing boats go back to the Huating to take shelter from the wind, and we will fight against God on the sea. We want to see if the warships built by Datang can withstand the stormy waves of the typhoon." Yun Hao said with great momentum, Cheng Chumo listened to his blood surging, and wished he could use a horizontal knife to chop down the sky right now.

"Promise!" Liu Rengui heard Yun Hao's order, declared his promise loudly, and went to deliver the order.He was also very worried about the sailing ships of the Liaodong Navy who followed him to the East China Sea.Zhenhai and Dinghai may be able to withstand such a big storm, but it is absolutely impossible for those sailing boats to survive.

September is the typhoon-prone season along the coast of Zhejiang. Generally speaking, typhoons blow from southeast to northwest.When passing through Yizhou, the typhoon will weaken somewhat.Yunhao went to sea this time, in fact, he wanted to consider the resistance of the warship to the typhoon.If you can't even withstand the typhoon along the coast of Fujian and Zhejiang, it will definitely be even more terrifying to go to Yizhou.

The large enough tonnage also gave Yunhao some confidence.Although the wind and waves on the sea are big, most of them are swells.These waves are shaped more like radio waves, with peaks and troughs.If you want to drive smoothly on the sea, the boat must be big enough.If it can suppress two waves, the ship will seem to stand on the tip of two crests.This kind of boat will be much more stable when driving, and the huge bodies of Zhenhai and Dinghai will have no problem holding down the two waves.This greatly increases safety and ride comfort.

The sound of the horn sounded on the sea, and the sailboat, which had been showing fatigue for a long time, heard the sound of the horn, and immediately set up its sails and evacuated in the direction of Huating.Looking at the surface of the sea, there is still one day at most before the typhoon will arrive.This is not the time to be a hero, the only way to escape is for a fool to wait slowly for the typhoon to catch up.

Before it got dark, the sky was covered by dark clouds.The darkness swallowed the last ray of sunlight, and the big test for Zhenhai and Dinghai finally came.After passing the test, these two ships will be able to ride the wind and waves into and out of the deep sea in the future.If they fail the test, everyone will fall into the sea and become the snack of the Sea Dragon King.

Yun Hao stood on the wide bridge of the Zhenhai, looking at the boiling sponge through the thick windshield.The violent storm came in an instant, and the raindrops as big as soybeans hit the glass with a crackling sound.Although Zhenhai is big enough, it still looks very small in front of Huanghuang Tianwei.

The huge ship was struggling like a leaf in the strong wind.Xiao Gao had to have someone tie himself to the post behind him, holding the rudder tightly with both hands.On another Dingyuan ship, his father was doing the same thing.The workers in the boiler even went crazy and filled a shovel of good coke into the furnace.

Thick smoke was billowing from the chimney, and the two giant ships were all running at full speed, sprinting against the mountain-like waves again and again.The triangular bow smashed through a wall of water, and there was an even bigger wall of water waiting ahead.

Cheng Chumo regretted it to death, if he could move now.He will choose to commit suicide immediately!It's too damn miserable, and the only thing I'm lucky about now is that I was tied to a pillar.In fact, the pillars of the cabin were all tied up with honorable children from Chang'an.Riding a horse in Guanzhong since childhood, a landlubber who has never even been in a puddle has any reason not to get seasick when he is at sea.

Gou Zi sympathetically hung a iron pass around Cheng Chumo's neck, and Cheng Chumo opened his mouth to curse.But when he opened his mouth, uncontrollable vomit gushed out.

After hanging the iron bucket around, the dog stumbled and ran out.It can't wait for people in here anymore, the smell can make people's brains hurt.

Cheng Chumo felt that the world could no longer be distinguished, just like his already chaotic brain.The brains and brains seemed to be separated, and the high fighting spirit just now was blown away by this storm.The taste of drinking too much Yunjia steamed wine is nothing compared to now.

Cheng Chumo, who never believed in gods and Buddhas, suddenly became enlightened, and he began to seek help from all the gods he knew, whether they were Buddhist or Taoist.I don't want to be able to linger on, I just want a thunder to strike me quickly.Even dying is a joy, better than suffering like this.

Li Wenzhong stared nervously at the berth, the sea was completely shrouded in darkness.All people can only rely on gyroscopes to distinguish east, west, north and south, inside the dark sky.From time to time, purple lightning bolts rushed across the sky like forks, and it took a long time before the sound of rolling thunder came.Then with the light of lightning, one could see the Dinghai, which was also fighting against the storm a few miles away.

The "squeak" sound of the wood sounds like it is ringing at the apex of the heart.Every strange sound can make people's heart sink to the bottom instantly.

The mountain-like ocean waves hit him endlessly, wave after wave.Several times, Li Wenzhong felt that the Zhenhai was about to fail.But every time, Zhenhai survived miraculously.

Li Wenzhong has also been in the sea for several years, and he can be regarded as a titan in the Datang Navy.But he had never experienced such a big storm.If it was a sailing ship, the huge wave just now could break the mast.He has a new understanding of Donghai.This place is more dangerous than the Yellow Sea, and Bohai Bay is simply paradise.

Liu Rengui grasped the slipway with all his strength, and kept conveying Yunhao's orders one after another.His heart was extremely excited, and he never dared to think about driving in such a storm before.

I don't know if this Duke is a god or not, he always has the ability to predict the future.Thinking of the rattan hat on his head, Liu Rengui admired the Duke of Chu.I have hit my head on the pillar eight times. If it wasn't for this rattan hat, I would have been hit to the head and bleeding.

Now I finally understand why everything that can move should be fixed.In a storm of this magnitude, nothing can stay put, including people.

A lot of experience on sailing boats before is useless here.Under heavy wind and rain, the boat can still operate by itself.If it is a sailing ship, the sails have already been lowered by now, and we can only rely on the ocean currents to try our luck.If you are lucky, just drift along the ocean current. If you are unlucky, you will encounter a hidden reef.Or if the ocean current takes the boat to the open sea, it will be dead.

This huge ship can cut through the waves.For the first time, Liu Rengui gave birth to the confidence to go to the far sea to have a look.In the depths of the ocean, is there a crystal clear Dragon Palace?Are there singing sirens, or beauties with fish tails?

Gouzi's eyes widened, looking at everything in front of him curiously.It was the first time he saw the lightning strike on the sea surface. After the silver snake-like lightning hit the sea surface, a large group of flames burst out. He couldn't imagine the lightning strike on the Zhenhai.

It's so fucking enjoyable, it's much more enjoyable than in Dongting Lake.Almost instantly, Gouzi fell in love with sailing.A huge amount of adrenaline stimulated his nerves. Not only was he not afraid at all, he was even so excited to death.God forbid, this storm will never end.It's so fucking fun!

Xiong Kuohai's face turned pale, and he couldn't help shaking the hand holding the pillar vigorously.In front of Huanghuang Tianwei, the murderous bear also felt fear.He felt that he had never been so close to death, and he could swear to God that he had never felt this kind of fear.

Standing behind Yunhao, Xue Rengui tightly closed his eyes, trying hard to control his stomach, thinking in his mind.If he really died, the Yun family should treat his younger sister kindly...!
