The rise of the prince

Chapter 413, Chapter 380, Jiangzhou chaos

The sailors of the Wangfu ship began to direct the ship to slow down slowly, and then adjusted to berth on the shore. Jiangzhou is worthy of a big city, and the ferry has a deep draft. It is not a problem for a giant ship like the Wangfu ship to dock.

With the concerted efforts of many skilled sailors from the palace, the big ship slowly docked, but it had to be steady. The whole process took about an hour. The draft of the big ship was more than [-] tons. , It’s a big ship, the inertia is terrible, you must be careful.

Jing Guo’s shipbuilding technology has improved slightly compared to the Song Dynasty. Li Xingzhou, the largest ship, has also seen it. It is the flagship of the Forbidden Army. That big ship was burned in the Battle of Anxiakou. The draft is estimated to be close to 1000 tons. About one hundred tons.

Evidence unearthed in previous lives shows that the Song Dynasty was able to build the largest practical ship with a draft of more than 700 tons, and the limit state was close to [-] tons.The reason why Jingguo's shipbuilding industry is more developed is probably because the imperial court paid more attention to the navy.

This is due to Zhong Daoyu. When he was attacking Baiyi, he, as the commander in chief, ordered the troops to be divided into two routes. One route was sent by land from Jiannan Road, and the other route was sent by water, going down the Yangtze River, and then by way of Dali Kingdom, attacking from both sides. , Bai Yi was defeated, and Bai Yi has not dared to violate the border of Jing Kingdom since World War I.

It was also at that time that the emperor began to value the potential of the navy, which also led to the further development of Jingguo's shipbuilding industry. Unfortunately, no matter how developed it was, it was eventually given away by the crown prince Anxiakou.

However, these ships are not enough to look at the large ships with a draft of more than [-] tons in the Wangfu.

Li Xingzhou estimated that if the Dingneng class ship is fully loaded with water, it can reach more than 500 tons. The hull is designed to be slender, the deck is flat, and it can even run horses, so he also brought Meixue.
Watching the sailors make the big ship dock slowly, a sergeant of Shenji came to tell him that Meixue was probably getting seasick and having a temper tantrum, and she refused to leave the cabin no matter what.

Li Xingzhou smiled. Both horses and dogs are considered the most psychic animals. The so-called psychic is the spirit of all things. The ancient saying that psychic means understanding human nature, he is going to personally go to the cabin to invite the angry Meixue out.

But at this moment, there was a noisy sound from behind, faintly mixed with a sharp cry of help
"What's the situation?" Li Xingzhou quickly moved to the other deck.

At a glance, tens of meters ahead, the river not far from the river bank has been dyed red in large swaths. Four people are fighting on two joined boats. The boat shakes, and the bright knife light shakes. After being stabbed several times, he fell into the river, and a large piece of blood fainted in the water.

Someone on the shore was watching and pointing, screaming in fright.

Li Xingzhou understood that it was the two people who had just collided with the boat, and the quarrel turned into a life-and-death fight
Soon Wang Tong and his guards saw it, but the big ship hadn't landed yet, and they couldn't get off. Wang Tong anxiously shouted from a distance of tens of meters: "I am the prefect of Ningjiang. My officer, stop! Stop quickly! Otherwise, you will be sentenced to death!"

Those people obviously heard it, but no one paid attention to it. After a dozen breaths, someone fell on the bed covered in blood, and another fell into the river again. Only a big man jumped to the bank with his hands on his stomach. But after walking a few steps, he fell to the ground. When he jumped, his abdominal wound was torn open, and his internal organs flowed out, making him unable to survive.

There are more than a dozen people around, men, women, old and young, just watching, as if they are used to it.

After a long time, two yamen servants came over slowly, dispersed the onlookers, and were not surprised, ignored the dying man on the boat calling for help, and found a bowl-sized stone from the roadside, and patched the back of the dying man's head .

Then one person guarded, and the other yamen servant left, probably looking for someone to dispose of the corpse.

The big boat was tens of meters away on the other side, and Li Xingzhou just watched it.

Even if Wang Tong showed his identity as the magistrate, those people ignored him at all, and the atmosphere was very awkward. Wang Tong's face was gloomy, but Li Xingzhou felt emotional in his heart. He said that Jiangzhou was in chaos, but he didn't know how chaotic Jiangzhou was. Got it.

Fighting and killing people in broad daylight, the government can't control it, and the magistrate doesn't listen to it.
It took less than an hour for the big ship to dock completely. Li Xingzhou pulled Meixue out of the cabin, and she started running on the deck. The deck was wide enough for it to run.

Li Xingzhou noticed that on the other side of the river, after a while, four or five people in ragged clothes, led by the yamen servants, carried away the body of the big man who died on the bank. Those who died in the boat were thrown directly into the river. Not cleaned up.

Even the corpse was lost. It seems that the government is not going to file a case at all, and wants to just let it go so hastily.

Wang Tong was so angry that he yelled across the tens of meters of the river, and then said that he would ask people to find out where the two yamen servants were working and drive them away.

Li Xingzhou shook his head, seeing the numb attitudes of the two yamen servants and the general public, and their clean handling methods, it must be that such things happen often.

The yamen servants couldn't manage it even if they wanted to, and they became numb in the end.

So what if you took two yamen servants, other yamen servants can only do this. This kind of thing happens once or twice a day, and they all have to be checked and filed.

After getting off the big ship, the musketeers of the new army lined up beside the case, attracting curious crowds to watch.

Li Xingzhou had been thinking about what happened just now, and gradually made up his mind.

The brigade had just left the ferry, and the officials of Jiangzhou, big and small, were already waiting to welcome them at the entrance of the market.

The streets were swept clean, and many yamen servants played quiet and avoiding signs to stop the people and opened a road.

"Your Majesty is here to welcome the champion general, Jingbei Transshipment Envoy, Commander of the New Army, Honglu Temple Qingjun Military Supervisor and Young Supervisor Pingnan King!" One person took the lead and shouted in one breath, without taking a breath. Dozens of others The officials knelt down in unison.

When they knelt, Li Xingzhou could see clearly that although the middle of the street was cleaned, the sides covered by the yamen and the people were still messy. Messed up with charcoal and other paints.

Li Xingzhou waved his hand and said to the yamen servant holding the sign: "You guys, get out of the way."

After a few people moved away, the common people also hurriedly moved away, the stench was pungent, and the mess in the corner became more conspicuous.

The leading official was so frightened that his shoulders trembled, and he said sadly: "My lord, please forgive me! The lower officials are incompetent, the lower officials are incompetent. Jiangzhou is now in chaos, and the government's manpower is spent on stabilizing law and order. It's too late to run around. No time. No time to take care of these minutiae!"

Li Xingzhou nodded. Indeed, what he said made sense. The law and order are at this level, so the streets can be kept clean. And once the moral bottom line is breached, no one is willing to abide by those rules honestly. People are killing people on the street. Well, what if I throw some rubbish at random?
"Get up, you are not to blame for this matter, go to the government office first." Li Xingzhou said.

Many Jiangzhou officials stood up and surrounded him and walked towards the yamen.

If the chaos in Jiangzhou is to be cured, we must win by surprise
