Chapter 249
Yang Ling is now practicing martial arts with Wu Hanchao every day. Some famous teachers give instructions and practice the best martial arts. He enters the country much faster than ordinary martial arts practitioners. Now he has achieved little success, at least his ears are clever and flexible.
Seeing that the situation was bad, he hurriedly leaned over and reached out to embrace Cheng Qiyun's Xiaoman waist.
Cheng Qiyun's waist and limbs look like willows, but they are extremely plump and smooth, with soft tentacles and soft bones. In addition, Cheng Qiyun's scary face is reddish and the breath is delicate and moving.
Yang Ling remembered that at the beginning, she saw Cheng Qiyun raising her hands and dancing. Xiaoman was tied with gold leaf and silver Ling. The stunning scene of the spirit snake as the bone and the spring water as the skin. Tight, greedily feel the smoothness of that ecstasy.
Although the movement was not obvious, the place where the shocked Cheng Qiyun was caught by him was like putting a soldering iron. It seemed to feel his thinness. The watery eyes glanced at him, and there was no stunned look in his eyes. It seemed that with a faint smile, Yang Ling couldn't help but get a hot face.
"Uh ... is this girl okay? Does the adult still have to watch the boat?" Lord Luo was asked for a long time before being accosted.
Yang Ling turned his head and said, "No, I will learn more about it when I enter the Stone City." After I lowered my head, I softened my voice and asked, "Did your foot hurt? I'll help you into the Stone City for a break."
Cheng Qiyun listened to the tone he cared about, but she felt sweet, and she would also act. Originally, her ankle was only a little warm, and she didn't feel any serious problems. Snuggling with him without fear, let him hold him, and walked slowly towards the stone city.
It was slow for the two to walk in this way. The gentry celebrities behind were a big help, but it was not good to go ahead. A large group of people with long robes and big sleeves followed the two's movements step by step, and stopped one step at a time. Look at the slow formation, dignified under the guidance of the old lady into the ancestral hall to visit the ancestors.
Cheng Qiyun was held by him, and his head was raised unattendedly. His eyes were flowing and staring at Yang Ling. There was a feeling in his heart that had never appeared before. I just felt that it was a bit sweet and sour in my heart. It was as soft as a sour tooth, so I didn't dare to touch it. I was afraid that it would turn into a water.
"Make-up and ask your husband-in-law in a low voice, the eyebrows are deep and shallow", if now I am in the embroidered couch with him ...
Cheng Qiyun's heart jumped up with a "tom", and he thought for a moment: Do I have such luck, such grace? If one day he can be held in bed in his arms by his beloved one, he may have a chance to wink with him when he gets up early. Being held in his arms like this, he loves him, God ...
Thinking of this, the soft and tender heart was like fried poached eggs, which broke apart at once, and a stream of heat flowed from the heart to the bones of the limbs. Even her thighs could not help but shudder lightly, which was originally intentionally squeezed, and now it was really a bit untenable.
Yang Ling knows that Dailou'er, Fengyue Gaoren, and the lover of the love scene, once the true feelings are moved, the kind of mentality of children is even more sensitive than ordinary girls. He thought Cheng Qiyun had an ankle pain and was more careful.
The two of them finally moved into the stone city beside the dock, entered the house and sat down, and a large vote of officials behind them breathed out, and even Qian Ning secretly wiped two false sweats.
Yang Ling inquired about Cheng Qiyun's foot injury. Cheng Qiyun's heart was sweet, but she still felt some pain, so Yang Ling was relieved to sit down. Greeting officials and gentry seated one by one, nodded to Lord Luo: "Master Luo, please continue."
Lorne Yuan coughed and said: "In order to save cost, the rudder building components, sailing winches, sails, cables, artillery and other equipment are distributed in small shipyards everywhere. Perform final assembly.
Among the various ships built, the blessed ship is as tall as the city and powerful, which is convenient for ploughing the waves. Draught two feet. The Japanese boat was as short as the small boat that I was facing, so the blessed boat was pushed down by the wind. Like a cart-rolling mantis, if the pirates confronted the enemy without avoiding it, there was no need for a soldier and a soldier, and the collision of the hull alone caused the pirate ships to scatter all over the ground. "
Lord Luo said it seemed quite complacent.
Yang Ling shook his head and said: "This is not enough, you have to build a fast ship, and a warship that travels far away from the ocean. You can't help but sigh. The craftsmen on the ship are constantly improving their skills. Which craftsman can improve it? The effectiveness of firearms and ships, Master Qian, should be rewarded!
Only when the firearms are driven far and fast can the victory be stabilized. Do n’t just rely on the ship ’s high strength. As far as the official knows, there are now Western pirates in the South China Sea. What's the use of the shadow being sunk? "
Lord Luo hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, the cadre must pay attention."
Talking about the knowledge of this ship, the pros and cons of firearms are not the strength of Cheng Qiyun. She sits on the side and does not squeak. She looks at Yang Ling and talks about it. She is quite general and has more joy in her heart than she shows herself.
She couldn't help but smile to Yang Ling, and she smiled silently, her eyebrows bent, her eyes bent, and her lip corners upturned, and her beautiful face was alive and alive, and she was soft and charming.
Lord Luo also saw this beauty smile, which was really Lou Er's smile, and reversed all sentient beings. Lord Luo was not the target of Cheng Qiyun's charming, but she was also shocked by her coquettish smile, and she woke up for a while.
He quickly removed his eyes and continued to say: "In addition to the Dabao Ship, followed by the Ma Clipper, the horse ship has eight masts, 37 feet long and 15 feet wide. It is mainly used to transport war horses, military supplies and soldiers, and is equipped with Artillery and gunfire can be used for rapid water warfare.
Once again, it is a warship, mainly used for head-to-head battles on the surface, equipped with firearms as a whole, and the fastest. The ship is used for fleet and water, landing two combat methods. The last is the seven-mast land grain ship and water ship. This kind of ship can also feed domestic animals, grow vegetables, and is equipped with fishing gear to catch aquatic products. It is an essential supply ship during ocean expeditions. "
These things were really unheard of by Yang Ling. He closed his eyes, took a long breath, and slowly opened his eyes. In retrospect: "With such a powerful ocean-going navy, anyone who tries to whip my heavenly prestige, the army can immediately launch a devastating blow against it without mercy.
With such a large fleet and the Nanyang vassal as a supply, it is also easy for the army of the Tian Dynasty to continue to export to the West. If you continue to support the war and supply it in the occupied country, then the Ming Dynasty will be like the former Yuan Empire. The world will tremble under its feet. The only difference is ... they are by land, we are by water. Alas, who would have thought that we could also ..., if it were not for today, how could the future be ... how could it be ... "
Yang Ling said leisurely, and it seemed to remind him of the song that made the people sad: "
Who makes you majestic, and who makes this fire shine. Who hates rushing to the cloud, who has no anger or sorrow? How much blood and sweat I had drowned before it was built by Tiangong and built with my heart. I don't want to end up in this field, insult my family and insult the lintel ... I also hope that this fire will shock and remind my grandchildren that they will wake up. Why is it that the foreign insults are being bullied, use this fire as a memory, and reiterate why the old complaints are being bullied ... ",
Yang Ling breathed out a long breath slowly, as if spitting out the injustice and bitterness in his heart: No, wouldn't that scene happen again? I hope that people in the future will turn over the pages of history, and they will always see the glory of the powerful Qin Hanwu and the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Yes, since today. Everything has changed since my feet ...
Many officials did not know why Yang Ling said that he was extremely heroic. Why did he show a sore expression on his face, looked at each other, and dared not intervene.
Lord Luo swallowed, and then carefully said: "Sir, you ... you are on behalf of Tian Xun, visiting Longjiang Shipyard, it is a great luck for the local. The big blessing ship is about to be completed. This is the first place we rebuilt according to Zheng He chart A giant ship, can you please give a name to the treasure ship? "
"Huh?" Yang Ling woke up. He carefully looked at Master Luo: "I want to lead the inscription? I can't see that this technical talent is also very flattering, promising, very promising."
Yang Ling really wanted to give the big blessing ship a name, but he held his chin for a long time, and the name of the ship that he could vaguely remember was only ..., the Titanic ... sinking! Kursk ... Sink! Zhongshan ship ... sinked.
After thinking for a long time, he had no choice but to slap his head and said: "Let's call ... Buddha belly support the boat."
Lord Luo said with surprise: "Buddha belly support boat?"
Yang Ling said with a smile: "Exactly, it is said that the prime minister can hold a boat in the belly, and that the Buddha's belly can tolerate the world's uncomfortable things. The blessed ship sees the sun again, and the ocean sailor of the Ming Dynasty is just around the corner. This boat takes the Buddha. The purpose of the belly brace is to make my people to be generous and able to absorb the strengths of the various countries for their own use, and not blindly arrogant to build a car behind closed doors.
At the same time, my Celestial Master should also punish those who insult, and those who are kind, should not bully others, and always have a compassionate heart. As for the word of Buddha, huh, the most important thing about sailing at sea is that we are sailing in the belly of a compassionate Buddha. Isn't that safe? "
Lord Luo praised the festival: "Miao, Miao, the meaning of the name of the Lord is extraordinary."
The rest of the officials and gentry claimed to praise, only Qian Ning and Yang Ling knew each other, although the woman of Yang Ling did not dare to touch, joking this kind of harmless and elegant can highlight the close relationship between him and the adults who sent him. He laughed and said: "The name of the Buddha's belly supports the boat. The name is good. When the next official heard it, his mother's stunned thought of Dongpo meat came. Mr. Wu Lao and Xu Gongzi invited the best four in Jinling. Celebrity chefs, set up a feast on the riverside, let ’s go to the Buddha ’s belly to support Dongpo Meat, how?
Everyone laughed aloud at his joke, Wu Jiyuan and Xu Jinggong smiled and said: "In order to welcome the emperor, the two of us have a small banquet on the riverside, please all the adults to appreciate, please ...".
The Xu and Wu families really deserved to be Jiangnan's wealthy people. They specially arranged a carved beam and a beautiful exquisite big tour boat. On the boat, they were invited to cheer on the famous Geisha and Geisha in Jinling. The musicians are all famous music theorists.
At the banquet banquets, such as Daigo, Shiojia, wild camel's hoof, deer lip, leopard fetus, and crispy cicada, all kinds of rare and delicious delicacies were conditioned by famous masters. The beauty of taste makes people want to tongue.
Most of the officials attending the banquet had never eaten these rare and delicious delicacies. At this time, they could not help but secretly surprise at the wealth of these wealthy families.
Among these people, only Yang Ling was ignorant and had no idea how difficult it was for these landscapes and treasures to find one, and how many cooking procedures there were. The ignorant are fearless. Those knowledgeable officials who have lived in Jiangnan for a long time eat a dish and marvel at it. Only Yang Ling's pair of mountains collapses in front of him without changing his expression.
It is a small noodle soup made from four kinds of mountain treasures, five kinds of seafood, then three kinds of fine wine, and twelve kinds of traditional Chinese medicine. Others are tasting it with a sip. Only Yang Ling uttered a mouthful, and it was not enough to quench his thirst. The officials saw it in awe: Sure enough, it was not a Beijing official, such a bold spirit ... 啧啧 ...... ".
Yang Ling drank a few glasses of wine, and his interest gradually increased. He talked with the officials, and in the middle there were beautiful words like beads. From time to time to provoke emotions, the crowd gradually let go, laughter and joy came from the surface.
Yang Lingzheng was talking with Qian Ning, and suddenly heard someone whispering to raise his voice abruptly, and said, "The cannon and the distance are difficult to hit. The goal is within 100 feet, but the enemy cannon can also break my ship's board."
Yang Ling looked around and saw that the two young officials sitting at the end of the banquet were arguing quietly. The forgotten form between the two has made a loud voice. Yang Ling smiled and said: "Which of the two local officials seems to be arguing about the artillery, can you say to listen to this official?"
The two young officials stood up and said in a panic and anxiety: "Returning to the Emperor Chincha, Lu Zekai and Cheng Bingxi, the ambassadors of the Nanjing Military Weapon Bureau, who disturbed the Chingcha sir, and asked the adults to forgive their sins."
Yang Ling had dealt with the Military Weapon Bureau in order to study the musket while in Beijing. Knowing that this ambassador is a small official from Jiu Pin, it is said that they are not qualified to go on board and have a banquet. I think Qian Ning does n’t know what kind of things he wants to ask, so the official who studied various utensils prepared two Just in case, he followed the boat in a confused way.
Yang Ling smiled and said: "No wonder, no wonder, what is the size of the official position at the banquet? The two of you please sit down. If you have anything to say, it ’s okay. The official would like to hear it."
The two also wanted to politely. Qian Ning said impatiently: "Adult tells you to sit, you just sit. How come there are so many rules?"
The two were startled, and only then did they thank them. Lu Zekai said inadequately: "Adult. The humble office specializes in artillery. The humble office believes that attack is the best defense. Taking offense to defend can achieve the greatest results. If one party holds a heavy artillery in naval battle, it can be wiped out in one fell swoop. After the new gunpowder formula came from the Jingshi Weapon Bureau, the power of gunpowder increased greatly, and the humble office thought that if the court was willing to allocate manpower and property, and concentrate on research, the artillery of our country would definitely increase in power. "
Yang Lingxi couldn't help but looked up and down: "Master Lu is a firearm expert?"
Lu Zekai didn't understand the word expert, but it was estimated that it meant something special. Busy Qian smiled and said: "Adults are well-known, and low-handedness studies artillery."
The head of the Armament Bureau said: "Adult, although Lu Zekai is young, he is indeed a specialist in the development of firearms in the Armament Bureau. He has learned the expertise, and many teachers are ashamed."
Yang Ling nodded and smiled at the Cheng Bingxi: "So why is Master Cheng arguing with Master Lu?"
Cheng Bingxi said aloud: "Adult, humble opinion, huge waves in the naval battle, the hull swayed, even if the long-range cannon was developed, but it is difficult to hit the goal, in the end it still needs to be within a hundred feet to determine the battle. And at this distance, our artillery The advantage is not obvious, the thickness of the cabin is only two feet, our heavy artillery and enemy ship ground artillery hit the goal, the effect is the same.
Therefore, first of all, we should study how to strengthen the firmness of the hull, and the firmness of the wood is different. The humble people also found that the tilt angle of the wooden board was different, the stuffing plugged in the interlayer was different, and the damage caused by the shelling was also very different. Therefore, it is possible to start from this aspect and study how to strengthen my naval warship as the first priority. "
Yang Ling was only able to save the time. At that time, ballistics, geometry, etc. had not been systematically developed. Even if a long-range cannon was developed, it was really a cannon to fight mosquitoes. It was useless, but if it was used for land bombardment, it was fixed. The goal is still very useful.
In addition, this development trend is sooner or later. The long-range artillery can be developed first. Once the auxiliary aiming tool is available, it can be effective immediately. If the aiming tool appears, it will be long-lasting.
However ... no matter when, strengthening your own chariots and warships is the research and development goal of the military. Rarely, although the two military officials have different opinions, they can have this in different research fields. experience. Just how to study the wooden board, where can it be sturdy?
He joked: "If so, why not put the armor on the battleship ..."
He said a word here, his mind flashed, and suddenly thought that modern steel warships could not be used at all because of the pure wind drive and no riveting technology, but an additional one was installed on the wall of the wooden ship. What is the difficulty of the iron plate? Doesn't this strengthen the hull?
He hurriedly asked: "So, Master Cheng thought, what if we added a layer of iron plate to our ship's shell to make the wooden boat into an armored ship?"
Cheng Bingxi's eyes lit up and praised: "Okay, this method is not difficult, it can be equipped with only a little research, but the iron plate is installed on the ship, which consumes too much silver ...".
Yang Ling said with a smile: "Although the addition of iron plates consumes more silver, but I don't know how much silver is lost compared to the whole ship. If the ship is sunk, the ship is gone, and our trained sailors and soldiers are gone. , How much is this loss? "
He also said: "However, the ships are driven by wind, and the installation of iron plates is bound to be heavy. I think we can study them. Now our main battleships are divided into six types, and we can develop a batch of armored ships, which is regarded as the seventh type of warship. Specially used for coastal defense. ".
Yang Ling said to Qian Ning: "Brother Qian, these two ambassadors of the Armament Bureau, you look back and transfer to the Zhenfu Bureau of the Zhenfu Division, and then deploy the personnel of the Armament Bureau for their use and provide silver money.
Haha, Master Lu, you will study how to attack, and Master Cheng will study how to defend. See if you are a powerful Lujia spear, or you are a powerful Chengjia shield! "
Cheng and Lu both heard a blush of excitement on their young faces, and they glanced at each other. There was joy in their eyes and a sense of unconvincing competition. Yang Ling looked at him with a dark heart in his eyes.
Later generations studied naval envoys. Some people once called the iron-walled, flat-faced sea-falcon warship built by Qin Shifu in the Song Dynasty, the world's earliest armored ship, but this type of warship was wrapped on the sides of the ship with iron sheets. Therefore, it is more common to say that the tortoiseshell ship invented by North Korea's Li Shunchen is the ancestor of the world's armored ship.
However, there is a banquet at the edge of the Yangtze River, and a joke between the chatting cups and the embarrassed adults sent the iron armor ship to Li Shunchen decades ago, and it was grandly launched.
Sometimes, the change in history is just because the big guys casually say nothing.
