Yangzhou City, the general of Crouching Tiger Fang.

"Liao Shibo is here! Unwelcome, unwelcome! ”

Liao Yingzhong was wearing a half-worn cardigan robe, sitting in the main hall and talking to Guo Fu'er. Seeing Chen Dexing come out, he looked at it carefully, smiled and nodded: "It's really a hero who is young and graceful!" Not bad! Not bad! ”

Chen Dexing's heart was slightly cold, and his words sounded like a big media. Looking at Guo Ruren again, there is no ecstatic look, it seems that he is thinking too much.

Chen Dexing turned his mind and bowed down: "Liao Shibo said he laughed." ”

"I heard that Qingzhi you have captured another seven or eight thousand Northern Han troops and come back, and now they are all placed in the abandoned camp of the Mongols outside the city? That's another great achievement! ”

Liao Yingzhong took a sip of the teacup, and said: "Counting the more than 600 levels of beheadings before, plus this time he killed the Mongolian marshal Ye Liugan, and offered a stone machine to shake the sky and thunder." Qingzhi, your credit can also be ranked in the top few since I crossed to the south, that is, Yue Wumu and Meng Zhongxiang are before you, and even Yu Qiaoyin is not as good as you. ”

That's not a good word! Yue Fei died tragically in Fengbo Pavilion, Yu Jue was forced to die by today's official family, Meng Hui was more clever and timely to ask for Zhishi, and Zhishi died soon after, I don't know if there is any insider?

Chen Dexing sat down and said, "How dare the little nephew compare to Yue Wumu, Meng Zhongxiang and Yu Qiaoyin? They are all marshals, and the little nephew is just a martial artist, and these small credits are all under the wise command of the privy minister, and the soldiers below use their lives, and the little nephew does not dare to live in them. ”

Liao Yingzhong shook his head and said: "It's just enough to say this in front of others, but you don't have to say it in front of the old man." The old man is a senator of Fu Si, Jia Xianggong's strategy, how can the old man not know? If there is no virtuous nephew to make meritorious contributions, the battle of Yangzhou will be fought for at least another month, and it is impossible to kill Yeliugan, beheading more than 2,300 real captives, and capturing nearly 10,000 Han troops in the north...... Such a great victory is really unprecedented since Duanping! With the talent of a virtuous nephew, it is also a matter of time before he is handsome. ”

Chen Dexing said with a smile: "Liao Shibo has an overreputation, but the little nephew is just a martial artist, and he doesn't know how to do things, how can he shepherd one side for the Son of Heaven?" It would be satisfying to be able to be a naval commander, to be able to drive 180 large ships, sweep the coast of the Northland, and make it possible for the Northern Captives not to go south with all their might. He beckoned to Wang Rong'er, who was waiting in the room, "Rong'er, go and ask someone to model those two battleships." ”

Liao Yingzhong was stunned for a moment, and then said dumbly: "Is that the three-layer oared battleship?" ”

Chen Dexing smiled and said: "Exactly, the little nephew has made people build a few models these days, and he also interviewed in the creek." ”

Liao Yingzhong nodded and said with a smile: "Then take these two models to the banquet, right...... What is the secret recipe for the medicine used by your artillery army's earth-shattering thunder, right? ”

Chen Dexing had already prepared, took out an envelope, and handed it to Liao Yingzhong with both hands: "Liao Shibo, the secret recipe for the gunpowder used in the earth-shaking thunder is here. ”

Liao Yingzhong hurriedly opened the envelope, took out the letter paper inside, and was stunned: "How simple is it?" ”

There is only one short line on the secret recipe: saltpeter is seventy into five, sulfur is one and a half, and charcoal is one and a half. Compared with the gunpowder formula on "Wujing General Essentials", I don't know how much it is! Of course, Chen Dexing did not hand over the secret of making granular gunpowder.

Chen Dexing said: "It's so simple, Liao Shibo can know when he goes back and sends someone to verify it." ”

Liao Yingzhong carefully stuffed the letter back into the envelope: "Qingzhixian's nephew, this is another great achievement!" ”

"This is a gift from Ren Yijiang, a martial arts student who is a good friend of the virtuous nephew."

Liao Yingzhong nodded: "Well, he is indispensable as an official." ”

Chen Dexing bowed slightly: "The little nephew is Ren Yijiang, thank you Liao Shibo for bringing it." ”

Liao Yingzhong waved his hand: "It's not about promotion, you can get an official by offering a military weapon, this is a precedent to follow." By the way, it's not too early, so come with me to the banquet. ”

This banquet was obviously extraordinary, Liao Yingzhong not only came to invite him personally, but also brought a car to pick him up. Chen Dexing naturally didn't dare to refuse, and boarded the car with Liao Yingzhong with a few polite words. As for the affairs in the barracks, I can only send someone to say hello and postpone it for a later day.

Yangzhou Fusi, Chen Dexing has been here many times. But every time I come over, I see a slaughter, only this time there is no atmosphere like a great enemy, but there are a lot of beautiful women in bright clothes shuttling in the pavilion, like fairies. More than concubines are all kinds of piles of wealth and silk utensils, which should be prepared to reward the three armies.

This time, the place where Jia Nidao set up a banquet was the flower hall of Fusi's inner house, Jia Nidao and a middle-aged man with a white face and beard, a loyal face and a casual clothes sat peacefully on two brocade couches, surrounded by beautiful women like flowers. I saw Chen Dexing, Liao Yingzhong, and four small servants carrying ship models coming in. Jia Rudao just pointed at Chen Dexing, and said to the middle-aged man next to him: "Chengxuan, this is Chen Dexing, but a young hero, suave and suave?" ”

What does this mean? How does it sound like Baoda Media? Chen Dexing peeked at the middle-aged man, and always felt a little strange.

"Xiaguan Chen Dexing pays a visit to the prime minister." Chen Dexing bowed, and then stood respectfully in the flower hall.

The middle-aged man stared at Chen Dexing as if he were looking at some kind of animal — well, the metaphor may not be appropriate, but Chen Dexing did feel that way.

"This is Dong Songchen, the envoy of the Baokang Army." Jia Rudao pointed to the middle-aged man beside him and said lightly.

Chen Dexing was slightly stunned. This turned out to be the famous Dong Yanluo Dong Song Chen in Lin'an!

"Xia Guan meets Dong Chengxuan." Chen Dexing didn't dare to snub this eunuch, and hurriedly saluted.

"The fruit is a good son...... Dong Songchen clapped his hands, turned his head and said to Jia Rudao, "Da Shen, the fruit here is good, and a certain family is happy to see it." ”

What do you mean? Chen Dexing was stunned again, does this eunuch have a daughter who wants to marry him?

Jia Rudao just smiled, stretched out his hand and pointed to an empty brocade couch: "Sit." ”

Although this tone is flat, it has an irresistible power. Chen Dexing saluted again, and then sat down, only to hear Jia Rudao ask: "Are those two boats?" ”

Chen Dexing said: "It is indeed a ship, this is the mold of a three-layer battered warship, one of which is used for navigation, the bottom of the ship is pointed, and it is also equipped with sails. ”

"Bring it up and I'll take a look." Jia Rudao took the glasses from a concubine and looked at them carefully, "How is this sail triangular?" ”

"This is the spinnaker, the ship with the spinnaker can go against the wind, this is the sail used by the great cannibals."

"Oh." Jia Yidao just nodded, and his eyes stared at the thing that seemed to be a pig's mouth stretched out from the bow of the two pulp ship models, "This is the ramming angle, right?" ”

"Exactly, this ship can ram the enemy ship at high speed, damaging the bottom of the enemy ship, causing it to sink into the water."

Jia Rudao nodded and said, "This is a solution...... With this ramming horn, there is more to water warfare than just a bow and crossbow. ”

He was not interested in the design of the multi-layer pulp seat, after all, at this time, the Southern Song Dynasty Navy had already been equipped with wing wheels - theoretically, the driving force provided by the wing wheels was more than that of the ship's pulp, but this wooden mechanical structure was easy to wear and tear, and after wear, it could not play its due role. Therefore, at this time, the Southern Song Dynasty Navy had generally adopted the design of the paddle wheel, and in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the design of the wing wheel basically disappeared in China.

"Xia Guan wants to build a three-story pulp battleship to verify its effectiveness, and please ask for the permission of the minister." Chen Dexing saw that Jia Yidao was a little interested, and hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, and proposed to build a warship.
