More than a dozen brute bulls pulled the winch at the same time, and the huge gate slowly opened. As the floodgates opened, the crowd let out loud cheers. September is the flood season of the Yangtze River, and the turbid rush pours into the dock. As the water level rises, the ship that is more than 20 zhang high seems to come to life in an instant.

The water slowly lifted the huge hull of the ship, and the giant boat began to sway from side to side, as if it was trying to break free from some kind of bondage!

Finally, the entire hull was lifted by the water. With the sound of a whistle, the murky water in the dock tumbled. The thick chimney began to smoke, and the surface of the water began to shake. The huge battleship slowly sailed out of the dock.

Lao Gao's face was full of tears, and it was enough to build such a battleship in this life, which is enough to glorify the annals of history. He even thought about retiring from this moment. can retreat bravely at the peak of the rapids, and let his image always be glorious and tall. However, seeing Yun Hao with a breezy face, Lao Gao quickly dispelled this thought. He also thought that he would build a huge ship out of steel in his lifetime.

Xiao Gao looked for possible leaks like rats at the bottom of the boat, which was now crowded with people. Each person holds a candle in their hand to see if there is any leak anywhere. There are also people who stand by the troughs of raw hemp and grass plaster and cement, and whenever they see a leak, they immediately go to replenish them.

I have to say that the ship is very well built. The reputation of the Gao family's father and son is leveraged, and one hundred and ten people have been looking back and forth for a few hours, and there is no place for water seepage.

"Drive into the Yangtze River and try it!" Yun Hao was still a little worried. In the cofferdam of the shipyard, there is still no wind and waves. If you can't do it in the Yangtze River, you won't be able to find a grave when you cry in the sea.

The whistle sounded, and the giant ship slowly sailed into the Yangtze River along the dug waterway. The huge hull of the ship blocked half of the channel at once, and all the ships moved closer to the shore. No one knows what this smoking behemoth in front of them is.

Although they don't know what this ship is for, they have a consensus. That is, if you collide with this boat, you will definitely be crushed by the huge hull and fall to the bottom of the river.

"Is there a problem with the bottom of the boat?" Lao Gao was extremely nervous, and the sound of the waves hitting the side of the boat sounded like a giant drum to him. Lao Gao was very afraid of seepage, although it was nothing for such a large ship to leak water. Moreover, watertight cabins are used between the hatches, and the doors of the watertight cabins are inlaid with thick rubber to ensure that there is no water seepage after closing. However, this is related to the reputation of the Gao family, and Lao Gao is very afraid of smashing his golden signboard. This is the rice rut of the children and grandchildren!

After a long while, the sound of a small high urn coming from the microphone sounded. "The bottom of the boat is fine, there is no water seepage."

Yun Hao didn't think that the two of them were well fed, and the shipbuilding industry was still in a very primitive state in this era. A large ship of 100,000 materials, this is the first time in history. Relying on the knowledge in his head, he forcibly raised Datang's scientific and technological status. But many basic industries are not yet able to support such technology.

For example, Yun Hao knew how to manufacture firearms, but Datang's industrial level could not even make the most primitive flintlock pistol. Industry is a systematic thing, and this huge system is established. It's not a few decades, don't even think about it. Tinkering with such a ship is already the limit of Datang's industrial system.

"Duke Chu! With this huge ship, why worry about Zhang Zhongjian's immortality. I don't know what name Chu Gong gave to this ship? Xu Jingzong sat on the deck, and the ship was very stable on the Yangtze River. It is not much different from on land, and Xu Jingzong believes that this kind of warship is almost invincible.

"His Majesty has given the name of the ship, one is called Zhenhai and the other is called Dinghai. Before there were no candidates, Li Wenzhong and I were the captains of two ships. The Zhenhai ship will stop here first, and tomorrow the Dinghai ship will be launched and it will be fine. Let's go straight to the sea and have a look! ”

"Don't wait for Li Wenzhong and them?"

"Counting the days, Li Wenzhong has already entered the mouth of the Yangtze River. Let's go down the river, and we should be able to meet him. Yun Hao sighed helplessly, Zhang Zhongjian didn't stop! In just over a month, several towns along the coast of Fujian and Zhejiang were robbed in a row.

This bastard of the dog day burns and loots everywhere he goes. I actually took boiling water to scald the child, and listened to the child's crying for fun. The newborn baby was still crying and threw it to the mastiff. This is not something that people do, I admire Li Jing very much. If it weren't for the cutting of the robes in the Yun family, Li Jing's fate today would have been extremely miserable.

The outfitting that was originally planned to take three months can now only be shortened to one and a half months. The rest can only be assembled while sailing.

The launch of the Dinghai was as smooth as the Zhenhai, which was the best news Yun Hao had ever heard. Two behemoths dragged black smoke down the Yangtze River. Huge warships, filling the entire waterway. Passing ships are all amazed. When they knew that this was the latest warship of the Tang Dynasty, the people on both sides of the strait couldn't stop cheering. The beards on the passing ships were all dumbfounded, and when dealing with the Tang people, they were humble.

Before arriving at the mouth of the Yangtze River, Yun Hao waited for Li Wenzhong, who arrived. After receiving Yun Hao's order, Li Wenzhong hurried to the Jiangnan Shipyard in order to see what the legendary giant ship looked like.

Despite his mental preparations, Li Wenzhong was still taken aback. The warship was as high as a mountain, so he had to look up. The huge sense of oppression made him even have the urge to run away.

Climbed up the rope ladder to the deck, and Li Wenzhong touched here and there. Nothing was fresh, and behind him stood a tall, thin young man. With a dark face, he stood on the deck with his feet wide apart. Yun Hao estimated that the toes on the two feet inside the official boots must be trying to open. This is the aftermath of living on a ship all year round!

"Handsome! This is our new ship? My good man, so big. Li Wenzhong was so excited that his nose glowed red. The hand strokes the railing, as if caressing the woman's ass. The saliva was about to run down, and I was sick to death.

"Wipe your saliva, we will have more and more such ships in the future. According to His Majesty's wishes, at least ten or more ships must be built. In the future, the sea will be the world of our Datang. ”

"Haha! Marshal, with such a boat, the brothers can drive the boat to the edge of the sky. However, where are the sails of this ship? When Li Wenzhong heard that 10 warships were going to be commissioned one after another, his excitement slowed down a little. If there are too many things, they will be surprised. Now he is a little glad that he was brought to the water army by Yun Hao. He is the largest in the whole sea. His words are heaven! Of course, this is when Yun Hao is not at sea.

Look at those colleagues in Chang'an City, one by one they are living extremely aggrieved. There was a group of old immortals pressing down on it, and there were a large number of young people below who wanted to rise to the top. It was a two-sided scolding, and the civil servants were still staring at each other all day long. If the emperor doesn't want to see him, maybe the ship will capsize. The wealth that the knife head licked the blood in exchange for flew in an instant.

There were still some complaints in the past, but now that he wants to transfer Li Wenzhong back to Chang'an, Li Wenzhong will not do it.

"No sails, how can it be done. Do you want to use pulp? Before Li Wenzhong could speak, the young man behind him said in surprise.

Li Wenzhong raised his hand and gave a slap, "In front of the big handsome, what kind of tongue is chewing." The handsome said that if you don't need a sail, then you don't need a sail. There's no place for you to interject here! ”

The young officer was slapped in the face, but his feet did not move. The body stood like nails, and his eyes were full of unruliness. In his mind, a ship without sails is nothing. You can walk in the river downstream, and you can live in the sea. This handsome man is good at everything, but he is too young to know how to fight.

"You're right, my boat is really paddled with paddle." Yun Hao looked at the young man and said with a smile.

"Ahh Really use pulp? Why didn't I see it? Li Wenzhong looked down on the side of the ship, Yun Hao was afraid that his naval commander would fall into the Yangtze River like this. It is more than ten zhang high from the water surface, and this height is no different from hitting the concrete floor when it hits the water surface.

grabbed Li Wenzhong back, kicked him on the ass and said, "The propeller is underwater, you can dive underwater if you want to see it." However, those who are lucky enough to see it will die ugly. The huge power of the propeller can easily cut a person in two. ”

"Propellers?" Although he didn't know what the propeller was, Li Wenzhong felt that the boat was not slow at all. speed, faster than hanging half sails yourself. There are so many boats in the Yangtze River, who the hell will be idle and hang full of sails.

"It's a new kind of motivation, and in a moment Kotaka will take you around the ship. This is your ship from now on, and it is necessary to understand the performance structure of the warship. Let your shrimp soldiers and crabs come up, and learn from the ship's generals as soon as possible. In half a month, we will have to face Zhang Zhongjian. Time is tight! As soon as Yun Hao finished speaking, Xiao Gao jumped down from the Jianqiao with a smile.

"Where did this kid come from?" Yun Hao glanced at the young man behind Li Wenzhong, and if he could bring Li Wenzhong to him, he must be a confidant.

"Humble Liu Renliang see the big handsome!" Seeing Yun Hao asking himself, before Li Wenzhong could speak, Liu Renliang knelt on the ground and bowed to Yun Hao.

"Sir, this is a capable lieutenant under him. The Wei family of Bianzhou is a native of the Han royal family. ”

"Yo! Or is it a former royal family, and now he is following you? Can you endure the hardships at sea? Yun Hao looked Liu Renliang up and down, but he didn't expect to meet a Han royal family here. This guy is in his twenties until he dies, and his black eyes are shiny black. I've heard it said before that purebred Han people have pure black eyes. Especially inside the pupils, it's all black.

However, in recent years, the Hu people who have been sinicized, and the Han people who have been Hu have been rampant all over the world. These people have some brown in their eyes. It seems that this descendant of the Han royal family is very likely to be true.

"This kid used to be the lieutenant of Chencang County, because he killed the lieutenant of Zhichong with a torture rod. was convicted and assigned to Hebei, and it happened that there was a shortage of people here under his subordinates. It was recruited to the boat, not to mention that the landlubber would flutter after a few hits into the water. started as a small soldier, and has been promoted to captain over the years. The subordinates saw that this kid was literate and hyphenated, and specially brought it to the handsome man to show you. If you mention it, that's his creation. ”

"Chencang County Wei? How old is he? Yun Hao looked at Liu Renliang's face and was a little stunned, his current age is a little younger than Weidu in Chencang County, not to mention that he has been working with Li Wenzhong for several years.

"If you return to the marshal, there are four subordinates in the Chinese New Year's Eve this year." Liu Renliang, who was kneeling on the ground, replied.

Fuck me! There are really fucking people who don't look old, if this thing is in the next generation, I'm afraid it will be Lin Zhiying again. However, it is more like the African version of Lin Zhiying. Li Wenzhong said that he had worked hard at sea to become a lieutenant, and it seemed that he was not lying.

"It's not easy to get Li Wenzhong to protect you, just follow Ben Shuai. Since you are literate, then stay on the Zhenhai and make a record to join the army. "In these days, there are really not many people who can read and break words. The academy graduated two or three hundred people a year, and now it is the target of the Tang Dynasty government to the people's crazy robbery, and I heard that there are all beauties. I heard a letter from the old fisherman saying that more than 3,000 people came to sign up for the opening of this year's school year. The college has already had to conduct entrance exams to try to select those who have some basic knowledge.

"No! Xie Dashuai! Hearing that Yun Hao left himself, he also suddenly mentioned the record to join the army. Liu Renliang was so excited that he almost jumped up, and the big man was right. With this master having meat to eat, it seems that in the future, he will call this man who is much younger than himself very handsome. How did you climb to a high position at such a young age? Liu Renliang is curious!

However, compared to Yun Hao, Liu Renliang was more curious about this ship without sails. As for what Yun Hao said, he didn't believe it in a punctuation mark. I've been on the water for a few years, and I've never heard of a propeller. Liu Renliang believes that Yun Hao is fooling people, showing the superior IQ of the superior.

"Look at it and study it well. This is your future in the future, and you should follow along. How can you be a captain and not understand the ship? Let those guys under your hands wash them up. Talk well to the workers and masters, don't fucking open your mouth. Let Ben Shuai hear and tear his mouth apart. Yun Hao pointed to Li Wenzhong, who was walking around, and said.

"No! Subordinates remember the commander's orders! Li Wenzhong bowed and said. The face facing the deck should be tilted to the back of the head. I don't know who always talks about Niang Laozi, what kind of general leads what kind of soldiers. That's really right, those people under his own hands. The first is to be able to rob, and the second is to be wild, more like a pirate than like a sailor. Don't die in a war, and if you go ashore, you will go to prostitute your daughters. There are many swear words in his mouth, and he just relies on these bastards to force Goryeo Pian Fan to not go to sea.

Soon, groups of officers and soldiers of the Sailor Division climbed up the rope ladder. Yun Hao looked at the dense, ant-like crowd. This is the future Datang Water Army?
