Chapter 246 Buy a car and boat to go fishing

"Relationships don't have enough money to make up" is a slang phrase. Even in the Tang Dynasty more than 1,300 years ago, this sentence also worked.

After finalizing the business of 5 million yuan of cooperation between the two sides, Zhang Zhongjian and Chen Ying became good friends who talked about everything. Zhang Zhongjian also led Chen Ying to visit his wheels, in fact, Sun Jingchu's information was wrong, Zhang Zhongjian definitely not only had three two-thousand-material wheels, but a whole fleet, a full twenty-one, of course, these wheels and ships were not the same length and size. The small one is five or six zhang long and more than one zhang wide. The big one is thirty or forty zhang long and five or six zhang wide.

The largest of these is the "Xingchu", a steamship that is 36 zhang long and 3 zhang and 6 feet wide. It has twenty-four wheels, each wheel has eight wheels, each wheel is a group, each group of four people, a total of ninety-six boatmen whirl, can travel thousands of miles a day.

As soon as Zhang Zhongjian boarded the Xingchu wheel warship, Chen Ying suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Chen Ying didn't know if this steamer could travel thousands of miles a day, but the firepower of this warship was definitely fierce.

The whole wheel ship is about five zhang high, of which the draft is more than one zhang and two feet, and the key is that on the three decks, there are 32 eight-ox crossbows densely erected. The key is that these eight-bull crossbows not only take a relatively low-effort ratchet winding, but also have a rotating equipment that can adjust the eight-bull crossbow to a 180-degree shooting range, and this turntable can also be raised and lowered. The eight-bull crossbow with an effective range of more than 800 steps can have a range of 800 steps, and there is basically no dead angle for shooting.

Once this kind of wheel ship sails on the canal, it will be an invincible ship.

Chen Ying asked very layman: "Zhang Daxia, which one is more powerful than your "Xingchu" and Yang Su's Wuya battleship?" ”

"If you want to talk about melee combat, it is naturally the five-tooth battleship that is superior!" Zhang Zhongjian said proudly: "However, the speed of the Wuya Battleship is too slow, and the Xingchu will definitely not give the Wuya Warship a chance to fight in close combat!" ”

"Come and don't be rude!" Chen Ying said with a smile: "Since Zhang Daxia has ordered so many armor and equipment from Chen, Chen also plans to order a few wheels and boats to play!" ”

Zhang Zhongjian waved his hand and said: "General Chen is really joking, this wheel ship is not a joke, even if it is a medium-sized 2,000 material wheel, it will cost more than 100,000 yuan, and the Xingchu alone will cost as much as 300,000 yuan." ”

Chen Ying secretly smacked his tongue: "So expensive? ”

Zhang Zhongjian said: "Of course! ”

Chen Ying pointed to the eight-bull crossbow on the deck and said, "What if you don't count these eight-bull crossbows?" Will it be cheaper? ”

Of course, this is not to say that Chen Ying is stingy and can't afford to buy a Ba Niu crossbow. Although the power of the Eight Bull Crossbow is powerful, the power is far less than the scorpion crossbow that has just been developed, and the scorpion crossbow is said to be a crossbow, but it is actually better to say that it is a ballista. Not only can you fire a ballista, but you can also fire stone or incendiary bullets if you want.

In this era of predominantly wooden structures, incendiary bombs are the best weapon for water warfare. Even if you fire dozens of pounds of incendiary bombs, it is enough to ignite a wooden warship. Even if there is only half of the ballista, you can make the enemy helpless with fewer enemies.

"Of course it will be cheaper, this eight-bull crossbow will cost thousands of times!" Zhang Zhongjian said: "If you don't load these eight-bull crossbows, it's almost 250,000 yuan!" ”

"Two hundred and fifty thousand, then order four!" Chen Ying said disapprerovingly: "I don't know when Zhang Daxia will be able to deliver the goods?" ”

Zhang Zhongjian pointed to the other two wheels next to the Xingchu that were also twenty-four cars and said: "Although the wheel ship is fast, but it can't go to sea, it is easy to capsize when it encounters big waves, I have built a total of three of these twenty-four wheels, and I have built three of the twenty-car wheels, otherwise, these six wheels and ships are counted as one million for you?" ”

Chen Ying suddenly realized that Zhang Zhongjian had already focused his business on Zizhu Island at this time, and the foundation and manpower of Hanoi were gradually withdrawing, and these inland river ships that had no way to go to the ocean were left in their hands. However, although the cost of this kind of warship is high, the cargo capacity of transporting goods is not as large as that of square stern and flat-bottomed ships. Moreover, the cost of a transport ship is not as expensive as a wheel warship, like a thousand square stern ships are only 20,000.

"Deal!" Chen Ying didn't make a counteroffer this time, and Chen Ying also knew that the price given by Zhang Zhongjian was not high. Chen Ying continued: "Zhang Daxia wants to run Zizhu Island, I want to dismantle these eight-bull crossbows and keep them for my own use, but these three wheels need to help me change their names!" ”

"General Chen naturally has this power." Zhang Zhongjian asked curiously, "I don't know what General Chen wants to change his name?" ”

Chen Ying thought for a while and said: "Then change the name of "Xingchu" to "Pingyang", the name of Weiwu to "Princess", and as for the "Wansheng", change the name to "Wan'an"!" ”

"Princess Pingyang Wan'an!" , how can the name be so messy? Li Xiuning blushed and complained in a low voice that Chen Ying was joking with her.

"Why not?" Chen Ying said with a smile on the side, "Then it's settled, in the future, we will live in Qinglin, Qinglin is not far from Chang'an, and it is not close, how good it is to buy these few wheels, it's okay to sit on the boat to fish, sit on the boat to blow the night water, bask in the sun, cook a few dishes on the deck, drink some wine, or take a boat to travel all over the world!" ”

At this moment, Li Xiuning was moved and wanted to cry.

After all, Chen Ying was busy with official business, finalized the general direction, and left the rest to Hu Kui to take care of. The gold and silver treasures captured by Chen Ying in Xingyang need to be shipped in addition to the part that was handed over to Li Yuan, and the part that was hidden by Chen Ying was also disguised in the army with baggage. How to hand over these belongings and how to transport Chen Ying did not have all the details, but completely delegated power and handed it over to Hu Kui to do.

Chen Ying found that Hu Kui was very experienced in managing baggage and housekeeping, and then Chen Ying returned overnight to return to the Luoyang Cijian camp by boat.

On the ship, Chen Ying stood on the deck with a cold wind. Chen Ying was not sleepy at the moment, and although he said to Li Xiuning easily tomorrow, in fact, buying a wheel and boat was not Chen Ying's true intention.

The biggest advantage of the wheel ship is that it is easy to operate and fast sailing.

It is said that a companion is like a companion, once Chen Ying makes a mistake one day and offends the emperor, and the emperor wants his life, Chen Ying will definitely not be Yue Fei and wait to be killed. And at this time, the advantage of the wheel and ship appeared, traveling thousands of miles a day, and when the Yellow River sailor received the order, Chen Ying could arrive thousands of miles away by boat, Chen Ying should be a person, when the emperor really can't tolerate Chen Ying, he can also run to be a pirate, with Chen Ying's ability, even if he is a pirate, he will be the king of pirates!

The cooperation between Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, if it can really be intimate, will not give Chen Ying a chance to break through, Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong are both battle-hardened famous generals, but they just use each other to consume the strength of the Tang Army and save their own minds, both of them have it, so both sides use it to use it and use themselves. If before the war, no one dared to guarantee that Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande would really make such low-level mistakes?

However, the fact proved that they really committed it.

"No one never makes mistakes, if he doesn't make it this time, just because the temptation is not big enough", then this time, is the temptation enough to make Chen Ying make mistakes? The answer is yes, people make mistakes, more or less, big or small.

In the depths of the night, Chen Ying gradually became tired on the deck, and soon after returning to the cabin, he fell asleep.

Chen Ying had a spring dream, a smooth and superb beauty got into his bed, and in an instant, the primordial beast imprisoned in Chen Ying's heart began to awaken instantly.

This beast had been suppressed by Chen Ying's reason, and finally Chen Ying turned into a demon.

Storms and rains, rushing to the top again and again.

At the beginning of the storm, the air is filled with the smell of hormones.

The trumpet of breakfast sounded chen ying woke up slowly his eyebrows were a little lazy and tired almost with his eyes closed and fumbling with his clothes sudden.

Chen Ying's hand was slightly cool.

He shuddered, and quickly opened his eyes, a wet and sticky liquid. Chen Ying smiled dumbly, and secretly wondered: "How long has Lao Tzu been holding back, but he actually lost his dream." ”

Just when Chen Ying put on his clothes, in an instant, Chen Ying's sleepiness was gone.

Something is wrong, there is a real problem.

Chen Ying found that his shoulders and chest were all scratch marks, if it was a dream, at most a dream was lost, how to explain this scratch? Besides, at this time, his back was also hot and painful, Chen Ying did not have a bronze mirror in the cabin, he only needed to pull out the saber and act as a mirror, from the reflection of the knife surface, Chen Ying saw that there were also criss-crossing scratches on his back, if the scratches on his shoulders and chest were scratched out when he was unconscious, but what happened to the scratches on his back?

Chen Ying tried, and there were some scratch marks, and his hands couldn't reach them at all.

Chen Ying stretched out his head to the guards outside the door and asked, "Who was here last night?" ”

Ashina Simo said suspiciously: "No one came, yesterday the general only slept for two hours, and in these two hours, he didn't find anyone coming!" ”

"No one came?" The doubts in Chen Ying's heart were even worse. What was the injury on his body?

Besides, that spring dream was so real that it didn't look like a dream at all.

There is only one woman in the entire fleet, and that is Li Xiuning.

Was it her last night?

After Chen Ying washed up, he specially invited Li Xiuning to have breakfast.

Li Xiuning was fully armed and restored the demeanor of the iceberg female general.

Chen Ying stared at Li Xiuning for a long time, but did not find Li Xiuning's abnormality.

The two finished their breakfast in silence, and Li Xiuning muttered as she walked: "Strange, Chen Lang is so strange today!" ”

He Yue'er, who was dressed as a male soldier behind Li Xiuning, didn't take a few steps, yawned, quickly covered her mouth, and looked around like a thief, her face was slightly red.

She found that Li Xiuning was looking at He Yue'er with a smile.
