Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Chapter 395 The Gunboat in Dreams
The fine raindrops hit the uneven blue stone slabs of the steps outside the main hall little by little, and Shi Congyun was lying on Xiao Huanghua's tender thighs with his face down.

"Does Alang have any troubles?" Xiao Huanghua asked with a smile.

Shi Congyun said in a muffled voice: "A lot, that broken wood has no legs, I thought that as long as I worked hard, there would be a result, but I didn't expect that after a long time of hard work, I wanted to scold people!"

"Then sir, please scold me, as long as you are happy." Xiao Huanghua said immediately.

"No, I can't bear to scold you," Shi Congyun said, then turned over, thinking about how to get the cannon on board.

"Ironclad ships are not realistic, and I don't have that ability, but how can ordinary ships withstand the recoil of artillery fire? I remember that they did exist before." Shi Congyun thought about this question repeatedly in his mind.

The little yellow flower remained silent.

He thought for a long time, but still had no idea, at this moment, a palace maid came in to announce: "The official family, Concubine De said that the medicinal meal has been prepared, please invite the official family to eat."

Shi Congyun nodded. After eating too much fish and meat, he found that he really liked the light and delicious medicinal food made by the stamens.

He got up and asked Xiao Huanghua to help him change into a loose robe. When he went out, the eunuch had already prepared the sedan chair, and after getting on the sedan chair, he headed towards Fei's palace.

When they arrived in the palace, the first thing they saw was Fei Shi wearing a light green silk skirt, and she came out to greet her, but her protruding figure was obviously not covered by the light green plain color. Help her up.

"Go, go in and tell me, are you ready for what I asked you to do?"

"Hmm" she whispered, her voice was inaudible.

On the dining table, there are all kinds of dishes carefully prepared by Huarui, but for Emperor Shi, eating now is more about meaning, and the taste alone is hard to impress him.

The so-called beauty and delicious food, he, Emperor Shi, didn't eat well.

Fei's also understood that the weather was not hot, even a bit cold, and his face was still red after eating.

"Your Majesty has so many things to do every day, and your body needs to be recuperated, so you can't indulge your lust too much." Hua Rui used chopsticks to hold a piece of yam for him, and said in a low voice.

Shi Congyun chuckled: "Don't be afraid, I'm young, so I can handle it."

After talking coquettishly for a while, Shi Congyun felt comfortable all over. What could be more decompressive than talking about love.

The flower stamen told him a lot of things about health care, the principles of many medicinal foods, her white and slender fingertips, and the faint scent of medicine, which made Shi Congyun couldn't help but want to lick it, "So many things, Who taught you this."

Shi Congyun was curious.

"When I was in Sichuan, I learned a lot by myself, and the doctor Han also taught me a lot after that." Huarui answered while serving him porridge with a faint medicinal fragrance.

Shi Congyun took a sip, and then said: "Is the Imperial Physician Han you're talking about Han Baozheng's elder brother? I remember Han Baozheng told me when he sent troops to Hedong last time that his brother was a famous doctor in Sichuan, or was he a famous doctor in Sichuan?" National Imperial Academy, what is your name Han Bao?"

"Han Baosheng." Huarui said.

Shi Congyun nodded: "Remember, I also let him work in the Imperial Medical Office. I didn't know he had such abilities before. Speaking of which, his younger brother Han Baozheng is indeed the pillar of the country. In the last Battle of Hedong, Meng Xuanzhe and Han Baozheng Baozheng is very brave.

It's not that there are no talented people in Shu, it's just that there is no wise king. "

Huarui didn't answer, after all, Meng Chang was really kind to her.

Next, she talked about the theories of health preservation: "Your Majesty, when you are a student, you should focus on blocking rather than dredging. Conditioning and dredging is a means. The main thing is to keep your heart and energy in order, on weekdays."

Listening, Shi Congyun suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "It's better to block than to block!"

Stand up while talking.

"Official?" Huarui looked at him puzzled, Shi Congyun suddenly turned around and kissed her on the forehead.

"You are such a treasure, you woke me up with one sentence!" He said happily.

Hua Rui was still a little confused, Shi Congyun didn't explain to her, had a quick meal, and then didn't have time to do some happy things, just gave Hua Rui a promise to come back at night, and then left immediately.

Afterwards, Shi Congyun didn't stop, and immediately asked someone to prepare a sedan chair, and sent him to the official office of the Secret Department in the south of the imperial city.

He was very excited along the way, Huarui's unintentional words reminded him - blocking is worse than sparse!
They have all fallen into a misunderstanding before. They have been thinking about how to use the hardness of the hull to bear the huge recoil force of the artillery, but they have never thought of another way to release this huge force directly, and it is not a tough confrontation. .

The more he thought about it, the more likely it was.

The news of Shengjia's visit quickly spread to the Confidentiality Department. After Shi Congyun arrived, he didn't talk nonsense with them. He just called Feng Jisheng and other core craftsmen to send charcoal and draw drawings on the special ground.

"We have always thought about using the hull to withstand the recoil of the artillery, but we never thought that one cannon is fine. What if there are more than a dozen or dozens of cannons on a ship? Even the iron hull can't bear it." live."

As soon as Emperor Shi's words came out, the Confidential Secretary's Office was quiet for a while. Indeed, according to the current method, even if one cannon can be stabilized with difficulty, how about a dozen or even dozens of cannons on board? Got it!
"That's why I say that blocking is worse than sparse! If you can't control such a strong recoil, then don't force it to the top, but directly offset it with a heavy gun barrel."

When everyone still half-understood, Shi Congyun had already drawn his blueprints and solutions, "Install all the cannons with wheels so that they can slide backwards, and hang them on the wall with iron cables and pulleys.

When the gun is fired, the strong recoil force will push the heavy gun body back. When the recoil force is almost consumed by the weight of the gun body, the iron chain will hold it. "

As he spoke, he dragged the blueprint on the table with his hands to simulate the retreat of the artillery, and stopped immediately when he reached a certain place, "At this time, the artillery also retreated into the cabin, so that the soldiers could reload from the front of the barrel.

After the filling is complete, pull the gun body to the firing hole with a pulley. "

After Shi Congyun finished speaking, he looked at the crowd. Unlike other ministers in the court, the craftsmen of the Confidentiality Department did not immediately take pictures of Emperor Shi's horses. Instead, they all gathered together to look at the simple drawings and began to study the feasibility.

After studying for a long time, Feng Jisheng and others nodded slowly: "This method is feasible!"

The other craftsmen also praised after studying it, but only Feng Jisheng, an old official in the officialdom, reacted and said: "The official's mind is really exquisite!"

Shi Congyun laughed it off and didn't bother to argue with him anymore. After all, this is the environment of the confidential department, and he doesn't want to change it, and he likes it very much.

Soon the craftsman over there has already drawn a detailed picture according to the emperor's sketch. After all, his level is limited and he can't be perfect.

There were also people who gathered around to put forward suggestions for improvement, and they didn't care about Emperor Shi's face. Of course, Shi Congyun didn't interfere with them, but let them play freely.

In the end, only Feng Jisheng gave an order to the confidential envoy: "Within half a month, I will see a sample gun test-fired by the Bian River, and I will go to observe it in person, and you will decide what the final result will be.

My ultimate goal is only one, each Qiyun battleship can mount ten guns on the left and right sides, and move my Shenhuo army to the rivers, lakes and seas, galloping along the water network. "

As he said that, he patted Feng Jisheng's shoulder heavily: "That will be an important confidence for me to unify the south, and we must not make any mistakes."

Feng Jisheng felt the seriousness of the emperor, knelt down on one knee and cupped his hands and said, "I will do my best!"

Shi Congyun nodded. If their gunboats can enter Dongting Lake along the Yangtze River and then go down the Xiangjiang River, many problems will be solved better, and it will save him a lot of time. By then, decades of great achievements may be true. it doesn't have to be so long
