Emperor of the Tang Dynasty

"Gongshu Zheda listens to the order! From today, Gongshu Zheda will be appointed as the leader of the craftsmen of the Gushui Army Battalion, in charge of the naval shipbuilding matters!"

Li You announced this, Gongshu Zheda was overwhelmed by the majestic voice, and could not help but bow down and bow down.

And when he heard Li You complimented his design, he was so excited that his whole body trembled!

"In short, all ships will be rebuilt according to the design of Gongshu Zheda, and they will be implemented immediately without any mistakes!" Li You added, "Remember to combine the theoretical knowledge of the old shipyard and integrate it!"

Chapter 1141 Your Highness is so taller than you!

As for shipbuilding, Li You is also a connoisseur of connoisseurs. After all, he has learned all about shipbuilding and sailing skills.

It can be said that because of this, Li You can see the extraordinary things in Gongshu Zheda's design at a glance!

And these powerful theoretical knowledge from later generations, which Li You has been slowly imparting to the craftsmen of the old shipyard before, are extremely precious experience, which can make Gongshu Zheda's design better and more perfect!

"Yes! Follow your orders!"

After Gongshu Zheda received the order, he quickly called the rest of the Gongshu family's clan, and then planned the implementation plan of this transformation blueprint.

Then, they immediately commanded the workers of the shipyard, and together with the helpers brought by Li You, they quickly invested and implemented it.

By the time they were exhausted from their studies, it was the beginning of the lights.

The workers of the shipyard also went to rest one after another. Only Li You's subordinates and the clansmen of Gongshujia were still working hard with kerosene lamps on the construction site.

In the afternoon, the Tang Academy of Sciences was not in a hurry to ask the workers to rush the hull, but asked them to stop the work at hand 667 and build together the wooden boom and other equipment needed for construction operations.

Although many people in the Ministry of Industry were dissatisfied, Li You still approved their actions. Now they can continue to work with the strength of several hundred people, without worrying about the shortage of people.

As for Li You, he instructed the chefs in the camp to prepare more dishes and pack them to the shipyard.

It's just that everyone just ate a few bites, and then they can't wait to go to work again. This enthusiasm makes Li You very happy.

In the blink of an eye, the moon was bright, and the tents were brightly lit. It was obvious that these people had been through the night again.

On the second day, when the people staring at the black eye circles came out of the tent, it was sunny outside, and the shipyard was in full swing.

"Huh? That's..."

They looked up and saw that not far away, Li You was shirtless and carrying a large pile of wooden stakes, helping a half-built boat to nail the keel.

Suddenly, a warm current flooded everyone's heart!

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince clearly has a distinguished status, yet he is willing to personally (ajbh) participate in these dirty and tiring jobs!

"Clang! clang! clang! clang! clang!"

While driving nails, Li You chatted with Gongshu Zheda and talked about speeding up the ship.

"You said, if a spiral slurry is installed on the back of the boat, and then driven by a bearing, will it have a miraculous effect?" Li You asked.

"The propeller can indeed play a role in propulsion in the water. This is what I have experimented with before! Your Highness, you... do you have the ability to predict the future?" Gongshu Zheda asked in surprise.

"Hahahaha... Zheda, you are really ignorant."

Hearing this, an old craftsman who came to support him came over.

"His Royal Highness has already provided countless advanced theories when he was in the old shipyard, and he is so much higher than you!"

These words not only did not hit Gongshu Zheda, but made his eyes shine!

"Really?! It turns out that the experience and knowledge of the old shipyard that shocked the subordinates are all from you? Please teach me more!"

……

Two days have passed in the blink of an eye, and the boats in the dock are like dumplings one after another into the broad canal.

Of the two hundred remodeled boats, none of them fell!

The Tang Academy of Sciences even built a huge warship that could accommodate hundreds of people, and Li You also participated in some of the designs.

Not only that, in the military salaries allocated by the imperial court, Li You also fully operated it into the updated army weapons, and everyone was equipped with the latest firearms!

Of course, the most important thing is the most deadly weapon on that warship - the Thunderbolt!

According to Li You's design, Gongshu Zheda designed the warship as a double deck, and placed a total of twenty thunderbolts on the starboard and starboard sides of the two decks. These thunderbolts would be the best weapon to destroy coastal fortresses.

For a time, the canal was full of noise and excitement, attracting people to watch.

After a lapse of decades, the navy has once again become the focus of attention!

This day is not only the day when the ship is launched, but also the day when the navy army leaves for Jiazhou.

Trees along the canal were cut down, a large space was cleared, and a makeshift jetty was erected.

Eight thousand naval officers and soldiers were already on the shore, and there was no trouble on the pier.

On the mountain not far away, Li Shimin was surrounded by the forbidden army, and watched the unprecedented process of pulling out of the camp with the ministers and officials.

Seeing countless tall sails lining the canal with extraordinary style, even Li Shimin was in awe, this really showed the heroic appearance of the Tang navy!

Especially the fully armed Li You, he is wearing a bright light armor, a phoenix wing crown, Jinling boots, and a cinnabar robe, so majestic!

As for the arrangement of the battle, Li You divided the navy into four battalions, which were led by different deputy generals.

Among them, four battalions were divided into the front, middle and rear armies, and Zhang Yang led the former army, while Li You himself sat in the middle army and supervised and managed the supply of the rear army.

At this moment, the four major battalions were all lined up in the dock in an orderly manner, and Li You was standing on a high place, reviewing his troops and horses.
