I, the patron saint of the frontier of the Tang Dynasty, was forced to rebel

Chapter 116 Ship Trial
Songtsan Gampo looked at a middle-aged man next to him, who seemed to be in his late fifties, but looked extraordinarily energetic.

This person is the national teacher of Tubo, equivalent to a Taiwei, and even more powerful than a Taiwei!

Gar Dongzan!

If the names that are called most frequently are spoken out, I am afraid that all the officials of the Tang State will know them.

He is the famous "Lu Dong Zan"!
In Tubo, the tribe of Ludongzan can be said to be the strongest, comparable to the royal family of Songtsen Gampo.

He also had a son named Lun Qinling, whose full name was Gar Qinling Zandro, who was the marshal of Tubo and commanded the entire army of Tubo.

"Zamp, on the other hand, this approach seems to consume our strength, but in fact it may be to consume the productivity of twenty states."

As expected of a big talk, the problem can be seen at a glance.

When Songtsan Gampo heard this, his mind immediately became clear.

"That's right, that's right! No wonder I always feel that something is wrong. Is he, Qin Mu, trying to use trade to destroy my overall manufacturing capacity in Tubo?"

"It can be understood in this way, and we can't stop it."

"Why, as long as the king orders, will anyone dare to buy products from twenty states?"

Lu Dongzan lowered his head and thought for a while: "This approach is tantamount to cutting off one's limbs. The price of their goods is at least [-]% lower than ours, so they can't compete at all, and the people's income is meager. If it is banned, smuggling may spread. It is better to open it up." Trade, but with certain restrictions."

"So. Feasible?"

"Zanpu, there is another plan. The [-] prefectures wantonly recruit civilians to work. Why don't we secretly send people there?"

"Sneak attack?"

Before he finished speaking, Songtsan Gampo became extremely excited, as if he had already seen the result.

Unfortunately, Lu Dongzan didn't think so at all.

"Zanpu, this approach is not feasible. Sending people there is not for sneak attack and disturbance, but for learning!"

"study?"

"That's right, Tang Renyun, there is no end to learning. As Qin Mu's largest rear, Lingzhou is also a place for talent cultivation. If our people arrange to study and come back, the situation in Tubo will definitely be improved."

"What if it is found out?"

"So what if we find out, we sent more than one person. He Qin Mu has a high self-esteem and wants to drag me down, so let him take a good look at how strong my Tubo warriors are!"

"it is good!"

Immediately, Songtsan Gampo immediately ordered Lu Dongzan to be responsible for this matter.

At the same time, he asked his son Lun Qinling to strengthen the garrison of Yongchang and Jintou.

He also arranged for people to use the Yak River as the boundary, and began to build the border wall, and organized a large army to go deep.

Sun Bo and other places are surrounded by mountains, a natural barrier, but Qin Mu's army never thought of leaving here.

Heavy equipment can't get in, attack with guns, logistics can't keep up, it's not as good as cavalry.

Therefore, most of the areas they chose were places where horse-drawn carriages were available, and roads were temporarily built to transport supplies.

The Jinsha River Basin in the border area was chosen in order to transport logistics through Jiannan Road.

Lhasa, love some cities!
This is also the capital of the king, the base camp of Songtsan Gampo. In the past, there were at most thousands of guards outside.

Now, there are three floors inside and three floors outside, and several lines of defense have been set up outside.

He was already terrified. During the overnight shelling many days ago, thousands of firearms troops and special operations forces launched sneak attacks in various places. Dozens of officials were assassinated. The deaths and injuries of small officials in various places have not yet been counted.

The reason is that the latest news cannot be delivered in time.

In addition, traitors began to appear in various tribes!
Wars are raging outside, but the twenty states are extremely prosperous.

More than 2000 million people, at least more than 700 million are workers, most of whom are skilled workers.

Everything is developing in a good direction.

In Pingzhou, a piece of good news came. Qin Mu had just set off to rush over to Lingzhou a few days after he returned to Lingzhou.

The iron-hulled ship is about to start its trial voyage!

The precious wood is transported from all over the place, drying, pressing and other processes are completed, and the assembly is completed in just ten days.

The construction of the exterior of the iron-hulled ship has long been completed, and it is just waiting for the installation of the equipment inside.

After waiting for so long, it's finally done.

This ship is the second test ship and is purpose-built for the Navy.

Compared with the first commercial ship, the displacement is many times higher.

Reached, a thousand tons!

The turret of the ship is eye-catching. The gun barrel is more than ten meters long, with a caliber of 240 mm and 45 times the barrel.

It can make the naval gun shoot farther and more accurately!
The current army is the army controlled by Yue Fei. The maximum caliber of the artillery used is no more than 150 mm, and the number installed is extremely small. The most commonly used one is [-] mm.

They have one thing in common, the barrel is only twenty times the length of the barrel.

For the convenience of ship navigation, the proportion of the tube body has been strictly discussed.

Qin Mu's thoughts were different from theirs, and he was not at all shocked. Naval guns at sea are far stronger than those on land. Unfortunately, they are not continuous fire!

"Is the power unit done?"

"Your Majesty, please take a look."

The person who spoke was also the admiral of the navy, Zhang Pengfei, who was about the same age as Yue Fei.

However, he studied at the military academy for a full year, and also participated in activities such as combating smuggling at sea.

It can be said that among all the armies, he is the most suitable general of the navy!

There is no way, there is a shortage of professionals.
Going down from the ship, a large iron door was pushed open, and a cabin with a width of seven or eight meters appeared.

The four power machines are huge.

Just standing there, the height of a person is actually equal to that of the machine.

The front of the turbine drives complex devices through gears and connecting rods, and there is also a steel crankshaft about a foot wide.

Such a machine is extremely oppressive!
Even soldiers who participated in the war can't help but be shocked!
Qin Mu stretched out his hand and put it on the machine, feeling the cold and familiar temperature, his thoughts went back to the past.

"This is just the beginning."

Zhuge Liang and the others were puzzled, and looked at each other as if it was the sage king talking to himself.

Immediately, Qin Mu turned around and looked at Zhang Pengfei.

"General Zhang, can you introduce me?"

Zhang qingyang immediately put his legs together and gave a standard military salute.

"Yes!"

"The ship was ordered by the virtuous king and started construction at the beginning of January. It has undergone three changes and five power tests. It has fulfilled its mission and completed the whole process.
The power system is a steam turbine, driven by powerful steam, which is also the most rigorous and difficult part of the whole ship, and it is also the largest power system so far. "

The four turbines are not made of ordinary steel, but materials that are resistant to high temperature and high pressure. Thanks to the support of the Sixth Institute, the research and development and manufacturing of the materials have been completed day by day, and then the welding is done by friction, which generates high temperatures. Do self-fusion! "

I slot!

Qin Mu immediately interrupted when he heard this, "You just said that welding is a method of friction at high speed and high temperature?"

"That's right, this."
