Chapter 49: Cold

No change

The five-oars and large wings of the Qin people are 45 meters long, with 30 oars in each row and 180 oars in the whole boat. Gong Yin Dao had already imagined the five-oared big wing as a behemoth, and he only felt that the heavier the cannonball, the better, and as soon as he said the thirty-two pound cannon Gong Jian and the others, he shook his head one after another. Gong Yi Jian said: "The recoil of the thirty-two pound cannon is too heavy, the big wing keel is thin, and some of them are still pieced together, so it is indispensable." ”

"Gong Yin doesn't have to worry about the five-oared wings." The public loses the spirit and also says. "The five-oared wings are twenty feet long, and it is inconvenient to rotate. The Qin people have only been practicing for a few months, how can they compare with our army? ”

"You mean......" Gong Yin Dao said that Gong Yin Dao had never heard of. The Qin people suddenly burst out with five-oared wings, just like the sudden appearance of cavalry in the Battle of Xiangyang last year. Gong Yindao's first thought was that our army would be defeated, but he didn't expect the public to lose the spirit of the different views.

"The Qin people's war boat learned from the sea in the earth, and our country's war boat is the king's own system, although the shape is similar, the behavior is different." Gong Yindao's words surprised Gong Yindao, and Gong Yinjian, who didn't fully understand Zhou Ji, was also a little surprised. "Our army's war boat has a rudder, and the Qin people have nothing."

"Rudder?!" Gong Yindao shook his head at first, but then shook his head. "The Qin people are rudderless, and they also have slurry."

"There are indeed rotating oars, but the large-winged warships use rotating oars, and the initial diameter of the rotation is close to three hulls; I have a rudder, and the initial diameter of the rotation is less than a half-hull. "It's obviously about the big wing gunboat, but it's about the beginning of the reincarnation. Gong Lost Spirit could only say a few more words to explain.

"The circumference of the boat is like the turning of a car, if the turn does not stop, its track is just like a circle, and the smaller the diameter of this circle, the better. The Qin people used the rotating oar, the same large wing, the diameter of the circle of its turn is at least two and a half boat body, if it is a twenty zhang five oars large wing, its turn circle must exceed three and a half boat body. The large wing of our army has a rudder, and the diameter of the circle turned is no more than one and a half hulls. If it is a Yue person, it can be a boat body.

The Qin people have a big boat, and the boat officials are not familiar with each other, and the two armies are fighting, how can they defeat me? And I'm downstream, and I'm upstream......"

"What about downstream?" Gong Yin Dao took a breath, what he was most worried about was that his battle boat was not as good as the Qin people.

"Downstream against the water, the rudder effect is better than the river." The person who spoke was a different person, Shen Yinshang, the former captain of the Mountain Ghost who had just returned from the Red Ocean, who had not gone to the Sea of the Earth with Red Ghost last year due to illness. "Tianchi Daze is far wider than the river, our army's boat division has been training unremittingly for several years, skillful in hand, good at fighting, and the war boat is fast and fast, and it will be able to be like a fish in water. There are also Yue people, even if the Yue people have no boat, they are not good at the Qin people. ”

"Good." The meaning of the two Gong Yin Dao understood, the battle boat is not to see who is bigger and faster, but to see who is more flexible and skilled. In this regard, the Qin people are indeed inferior to Chu Yue.

Seeing that his eyes fell on the drawing in front of him again, Shen Yinshang said again: "Fifteen catties of artillery can break three feet of wooden planks within 100 meters, and this is enough for the Qin people's war boats." Now the most important thing is to fight quickly and quickly, with a fifteen-pound cannon as a naval gun, the warship can be modified, and there is no need to build a new one. ”

"Yes. Correct. Use this cannon as a naval gun, and you can change it as quickly as possible. "The fifteen-jin cannon is the most equipped artillery of the Chu army, and using the fifteen-jin cannon as the naval gun of the large-wing battleship is the most feasible and fastest choice. Gong Yindao slapped one hand on the drawing and shouted repeatedly.

"If the war boats are all changed and not newly created...... "Jutiefu Ou Chou is also there, he doesn't answer the matter of the war boat, and now he has to speak when it comes to artillery." One boat with two guns, hundreds of war boats, and more than 1,000 artillery pieces, Jutiefu is afraid that it will not be able to build artillery. ”

"How many doors can be built in a day?" Gong Yin Dao looked at him.

"One maximum of one a day." Ou Chou's numbers disappointed everyone. This is not enough, he thought hard, and then said: "I am afraid that I will not be able to do one in one day." I only know that there are only twenty doors in a month. ”

Twenty guns a month, two hundred and forty guns a year, and in two years all the artillery needed by the divisions and brigades can be built. Such an output is actually quite a lot, and even in war, it is impossible for a cannon to last only two years.

"If you want to make a big ......," Gong Yindao asked again.

"If you want to build a big building, you need to add boring machines, planers, giant hammers and other machines, which will take more than a few months." Ou Chou said. "The county has no money, and many of the previously ordered cannons have been unsubscribed......"

As the Qin people were declining, Da Sima Fu convened all divisions and brigades to discuss the battle plan for the Western Front, and some divisions and brigades that felt that there would be no major war after this battle immediately withdrew from artillery. A ten-pound cannon costs twenty gold, and a fifteen-pound cannon costs thirty gold. If you add gunpowder and horses, a ten-pound cannon costs at least seventy gold, and a fifteen-pound cannon costs at least one hundred and six gold. With such an expensive artillery, most counties and towns try to reduce the scale of artillery as much as possible, and there is still a cannon, but only a ten-pound artillery company.

"It's not the same time it used to be, so let's buy a machine quickly. The 15-pound guns set by the divisions and brigades should also be built quickly. Gong Yindao told Ou Chou, and said to Gong Yijian and others: "Ming and the day after tomorrow will know that our army will win or lose, although our army wins, the Qin people will also build a war boat, so the big wing gunboat and fifteen catties of naval guns must be built quickly." Within three days, Ben Yin needs to see the gunboats! ”

Three days to refit the Bigwing Gunboat, which was too tight. Gong Yiling and the others, who were in charge of building the ship, did not have time to complain, nor did they salute, and rushed out with people holding the drawings.

After he left, the summoned Fu Yin of the various prefectures entered the court, and in addition to the Fu Yin, Mi Xuan of the small town in the south of the city also came for some reason. At this time, it is a different matter.

He handed over the message he received to Gong Yin Dao and asked him to read and circulate the various prefectures before Mi Xuan spoke: "There is a saying in the king's message: If our army is unfortunately overthrown in Daze, the state of Chu may also die. ”

"Dying?!" The south of the Qinling Mountains are all autumn rains, although it has not rained in Yingdu, but the cold wind that crosses the Qinling Mountains in the north has blown to Fangcheng and Jiuying, and the temperature has been cold for the past two days. After moving eastward, the ten years of the king's accession to the throne were the best ten years for building a mansion, and it was also the most comfortable ten years for the craftsmen to build a mansion. Shinong industry and commerce, now the status of the master craftsman is gradually approaching the scholar, and he has become a semi-nobleman.

The state of Chu is dying, and the good days of craftsmen are coming to an end. Everyone looked at Mi Xuan in amazement, and forgot to speak for a while.

"The Great King once swore before the previous king that it was necessary to preserve the society and never stop worshipping. Now Qin wants to kill me, so he should move to the East China Sea. Qi Xuan continued. When she woke up in the middle of the night, although she was not dressed, her face was still beautiful. Everyone looked at her but didn't feel the slightest beauty, only felt cold.

"Where do you need to move?" Gong Yin Daodao. "Our army's boat division is ......, the boat division is unremittingly trained, the hands are skillful, the boat officials are good at fighting, and the battle boat turns back quickly, and it will definitely be able to defeat the Qin people."

Knowing that the Qin people also had a war boat, Gong Yin's knife heart was cold, but as soon as Shen Yin Shang said it, he began to heat up again, and Mi Xuan poured down a basin of ice water, which was completely cold, but he was still arguing with a glimmer of hope.

"This is a well-prepared move, not necessarily to move eastward, but to prepare to move eastward." Mi Xuan was a little out of control, feeling that she had frightened Gong Yindao and the others. "After the governors returned to their homes, they did not make a public announcement about the matter; Second, if you move, what needs to be moved, what does not need to be moved, what can be rebuilt elsewhere, and what must be destroyed when you move. The masters, craftsmen, assistants, and apprentices of each province have a total of geometry, and their families have geometric ......"

Qi Xuan spoke for almost a quarter of an hour, and all she said was Xiong Jing's original words. It's a pity that everyone, including Gong Yindao, was stunned. She didn't hear a word of what she said. After she finished speaking, Gong Yin Dao asked, "Dare to ask the son-in-law, where does the king want to move the mansion?" ”

"The king didn't say anything." Mi Xuan replied. "It should be a place of extreme proximity, otherwise there will be many migrants."

"But the land of transcendence? At that time, King Xu Yan was also forced by the Zhou people to abandon Xu and enter Yue, and the city was in the sea. "King Mu was not defeated by the Xu people, but he also went west to enter the ruins of Kunlun, saw the queen mother, got the heavenly horse, and then fought and defeated the king of Yan." Ou Chou is a Yue person and knows about King Xu Yan's entry into Vietnam. When he told such a story, everyone was completely melancholy, which seemed to imply that it was a certain thing to avoid the Qin people.

"The king didn't say anything, maybe it's Waiyue." Mi Xuan roughly knew where Waiyue was, and what the Yue people called Waiyue should be those islands east of Huiji. Gou Jian once said, 'I put Wang Yongdong, Jun Baijia', and wanted to exile King Wu to Waiyue.

"If it's Waiyue," Gong Yindao shook his head again and again, "Can there be coal, can there be iron ore, tin ore?" If there is no ......"

"If not, you can't smelt iron." The engineer of the Iron Smelting Mansion also shook his head.

"The king must have thought it through." Mi Xuan basically knows the situation in each province. The migration of the common people is different and the migration of the common people, the migration of the common people can quickly settle down if they have acres of land and willing to cultivate, and even if the raw materials are found, the process will take a long time to find out. "If Zhu Yin doesn't want to be taken captive by the Qin people, he must act according to the policy, and the king will also return to Yin as soon as possible to discuss this matter with Zhu Yin."

The craftsmanship of the mansion is proud of the world, and it is also good to be taken captive by the Qin State, but no one wants to live the days of being locked in a cage like before. After reading the king's news, everything was discussed, and Yin Quan of all the prefectures had a calm face and went back to the mansion without saying a word. When Mi Xuan wanted to leave, Gong Yin Dao approached and asked, "Where are I going to move?" The son-in-law doesn't know? ”

"The king didn't say anything." A place flashed in Mi Xuan's mind, but it was just speculation, and she didn't dare to say nonsense.

"Alas. I only hope that our army can defeat the Qin people. Gong Yin Dao almost whimpered. As he spoke, his mind had already flown to Daze above the water, how much he hoped that the Chu army could defeat the Qin people again.

*

"Uncle, uncle......" The rain fell for a while and then stopped, and the starry Daze seemed to have become the sea, and the water waves rippled slightly, floating with the corpses of the enemy and our army. Cheng Kui's voice echoed on Daze, calling out to his uncle.

There was nothing fancy about the battle with the Qin people's third boat formation, first the war boat crashing into the war boat, and then the tragic hand-to-hand combat. Different from the previous two boat formations, the men of this boat formation are not useless pawns, and when the twilight falls when the two armies fight, and the enemy cannot be seen clearly, the Chu language, Qin language, and Yue language shout constantly. For a time, the blood flowed on the boat.

The soldiers on both sides of the war boat fight, and the remaining Qin army war boats hit the enemy and our war boats regardless of the enemy and me, and then You Que and the Ba people came to the rescue, and the two sides repeated the battle before dusk, and countless war boats collided together in the night, and the soldiers on the boat jumped over the side of the boat and fought frantically, until the boat sank into Daze under their feet.

The flagship was also sunk by the Qin people at the same time, and Cheng Kui, who was invincible with a bow and arrow on land, was immersed in the water before he felt so helpless, and anyone could put himself to death at this time. But he still shouted, he couldn't find Chengtong, he couldn't find Chengmo, and he couldn't find countless familiar robes. Thinking that they might all be dead, his tears burst out of his eyes and blended into the cold Daze.
