Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 544 Buying a Car and Boat to Go Fishing

Chapter [-] Buying a Car and Boat to Go Fishing
"Relationships are not enough money to make up" is a slang term.Even in the Tang Dynasty more than 300 years ago, this sentence would still work.

After finalizing the business of 500 million yuan of cooperation between the two parties, Zhang Zhongjian and Chen Ying became good friends who talked about everything.Zhang Zhongjian also led Chen Ying to visit his wheel ships. In fact, Sun Jingchu’s information was wrong. Zhang Zhongjian definitely had more than three 21-fuel wheel ships, but a whole fleet of [-] ships. Of course, the length and size of these wheel ships are not the same.The small one is five or six feet long and more than one foot wide.The big ones are thirty or forty feet long and five or six feet wide.

The largest of them is the "Xingchu", a wheel ship that is 36 feet long and 24 feet and 96 feet wide.With [-] wheels, each wheel has eight sets, each wheel is a group, each group has four people, a total of [-] boatmen mediate, and can travel thousands of miles a day.

After Zhang Zhongjian boarded the chariot warship Xingchu, Chen Ying broke out in a cold sweat.Chen Ying doesn't know if this wheeled ship can travel thousands of miles a day, but the firepower of this warship is definitely fierce.

The entire wheel ship is about five feet high, and the draft is more than one foot or two feet. The key is that on the third deck, there are 32 eight-ox crossbows densely erected.The key point is that these eight-ox crossbows not only adopt relatively labor-saving ratchet winding, but also have a rotating device that can adjust the eight-ox crossbow to a 180-degree shooting range, and this turntable can also be raised and lowered.The eight-ox crossbow with an effective range of more than [-] steps can cover the range of [-] steps, basically without shooting dead ends.

Once this wheel ship sails on the canal, it will be an invincible ship.

Chen Ying asked very unprofessionally: "Hero Zhang, which one is more powerful, your "Xingchu" or Yang Su's five-tooth warship?"

"When it comes to melee combat, the five-fang warship is naturally better!" Zhang Zhongjian said proudly: "However, the speed of the five-fang warship is too slow, and the Xingchu will never give the five-fang warship a chance to fight in melee!"

"It's impolite to come and not to reciprocate!" Chen Ying said with a smile: "Since Zhang Daxia ordered so many armors and equipment from Chen, Chen also plans to order a few wheel ships for fun!"

Zhang Zhongjian waved his hand and said: "General Chen is really joking, this wheel ship is not a joke, even a medium-sized wheel ship of 30 materials costs more than [-] guan, and the cost of Xingchu alone is as high as [-] guan. "

Chen Ying clicked his tongue secretly: "So expensive?"

Zhang Zhongjian said: "Of course!"

Chen Ying pointed to the eight ox crossbows on the deck and said, "If you don't count these eight ox crossbows? Will it be cheaper?"

Of course, this doesn't mean that Chen Ying is stingy and can't afford the eight-ox crossbow.Although the power of the eight-ox crossbow is powerful, it is far inferior to the newly developed scorpion crossbow. The scorpion crossbow is called a crossbow, but it is actually not as good as a ballista.Not only can you launch crossbow guns, but you can also launch stone bombs or incendiary bombs as needed.

In this era dominated by wooden structures, incendiary bombs are the best weapon for water warfare.Even firing an incendiary bomb weighing tens of catties can fully ignite a wooden warship.Even with only half of the Ballista, you can use fewer enemies and more enemies, making the enemy helpless.

"Of course it will be cheaper. This eight-ox crossbow will cost thousands of guan!" Zhang Zhongjian said: "If you don't install these eight-ox crossbows, roughly 25 guan will be enough!"

"25, then order four!" Chen Ying said disapprovingly, "I wonder when Zhang Daxia can deliver the goods?"

Zhang Zhongjian pointed to the other two 24-car wheel ships beside the Xingchu and said: "Although the wheel ships are fast, they can't go out to sea. They are easy to capsize when encountering big waves. This kind of 24-car wheel ship Three of them were built, and three of the 100-car carts were built, or else, these six carts count as one million guan for you?"

It was only then that Chen Ying suddenly realized that Zhang Zhongjian had already focused his business on Zizhu Island, and Hanoi's foundation and manpower were gradually withdrawing. These inland riverboats that could not go far were difficult goods to keep in their hands.However, although the cost of this kind of warship is high, it can transport goods, but it is not as large as square boats and flat-bottomed boats.What's more, the cost of a transport ship is not as expensive as that of a warship with wheels, like a square boat with a material cost of [-] but only [-].

"Deal!" Chen Ying did not counter-offer this time, and Chen Ying also knew that Zhang Zhongjian's price was not high.Chen Ying continued: "Hero Zhang wants to manage Zizhu Island. I think I can dismantle these eight-ox crossbows and keep them for my own use, but I need to change the names of these three wheel ships!"

"General Chen naturally has this power." Zhang Zhongjian asked curiously, "I wonder what name General Chen wants to change?"

Chen Ying thought for a while and said, "Then change the name of the "Xingchu" to the "Pingyang", the Weiwu to the "Princess", and the "Wansheng" to the "Wan'an"!"

"Princess Pingyang, Wan'an!", how could the naming be so messy? "Li Xiuning blushed and complained in a low voice that Chen Ying made fun of her.

"Why not?" Chen Ying laughed beside him, "Then it's settled. In the future, we will live in Qinglin. Qinglin is not far from Chang'an, nor is it close. Buy it. These wheeled boats are great. It’s okay to sit on the boat for fishing, sit on the boat and enjoy the night water, bask in the sun, cook a few dishes on the deck, drink some wine, or take a boat tour around the mountains and rivers of the world. !"

At this moment, Li Xiuning was so moved that she wanted to cry.

After all, Chen Ying was busy with official duties, so he finalized the general direction, and left Hu Kui to take care of the rest.The gold and silver treasures seized by Chen Ying in Xingyang need to be transported except for the part handed over to Li Yuan, and the part hidden by Chen Ying is still in the army as a cover.How to hand over these properties and how to transport Chen Ying did not have everything in detail, but completely delegated power to Hu Kui.

Chen Ying discovered that Hu Kui was very experienced in managing supplies and internal affairs, and then Chen Ying returned overnight by boat to Cijian camp in Luoyang.

On the boat, Chen Ying stood on the deck with the cold wind blowing.At the moment Chen Ying didn't feel sleepy, although he said it lightly to Li Xiuning tomorrow, in fact buying a wheel and boat was not Chen Ying's real intention.

The biggest advantage of wheel ships is that they are easy to operate and fast in sailing speed.

It is said that a companion is like a tiger, once Chen Ying makes a mistake one day and offends the emperor, and the emperor wants his life, Chen Ying will never become Yue Fei and wait for death.But at this time, the advantage of the wheel ship appeared, traveling thousands of miles a day, and when the Yellow River Navy received the order, Chen Ying could travel thousands of miles away by boat. Chen Ying had a lot of people. When he is young, he can also run to be a pirate. With Chen Ying's ability, even if he is a pirate, he will be the king of pirates!
If the cooperation between Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande is really close, Chen Ying will not be given a chance to defeat each other. Both Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong are famous generals who have experienced battles, but they use each other to consume the strength of the Tang army privately and save their own minds. There are two people, so both sides use it to use it, and use themselves.If before the war, no one can guarantee that Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande will really make such a low-level mistake?
However, it turns out that they really did.

"No one never makes mistakes. If he doesn't make mistakes this time, it's because the temptation is not strong enough." So this time, is the temptation enough to make Chen Ying make mistakes?The answer is yes, people make mistakes, more or less, big or small.

It was late at night, and Chen Ying gradually became exhausted on the deck, and soon after returning to the cabin, he fell asleep.

Chen Ying had an erotic dream, a naked and top-notch beauty got into his bed, and the primitive beast imprisoned in Chen Ying's heart began to awaken instantly.

This ferocious beast has been suppressed by Chen Ying's rationality, and finally Chen Ying turned into a demon.

Stormy storms, rushing to the peak one after another.

The wind and rain have just stopped, and the air is filled with the smell of hormones.

The sound of the breakfast trumpet blew, and Chen Ying woke up leisurely. His brows were a little languid and tired. He almost closed his eyes and fumbled for his clothes. Suddenly.

Chen Ying felt a slight chill in his hands.

He shuddered, and quickly opened his eyes, a piece of wet and sticky liquid.Chen Ying couldn't help laughing, and thought to himself: "I have been holding it in for a long time, and I actually have a wet dream."

Just as Chen Ying put on his clothes, Chen Ying lost all sleepiness in an instant.

Something is wrong, there is indeed a problem.

Chen Ying found that his shoulders and chest were covered with scratches. If it was a dream, most of them would be nocturnal emissions. How to explain the scratches?What's more, his back is also in hot pain at this time. There is no bronze mirror in Chen Ying's cabin. He only needs to pull out his saber to act as a mirror. Scratches, if the scratches on his shoulders and chest were scratched unconsciously, what happened to the scratches on his back?

Chen Ying tried it, and there were some scratch marks, his hands couldn't reach it at all.

Chen Ying stretched out his head and asked the guard outside the door: "Who came here last night?"

Ashina Simo said suspiciously: "No one came, the general only slept for two hours yesterday, during these two hours, I didn't notice anyone coming!"

"No one came?" Chen Ying became even more puzzled.What happened to his injuries?

Besides, that spring dream was so real that it didn't seem like a dream at all.

There is only one woman in the entire fleet, and that is Li Xiuning.

Was it her last night?

After Chen Ying washed up, she specially invited Li Xiuning to have breakfast.

Li Xiuning is fully armed and has restored the demeanor of the iceberg female general.

Chen Ying stared at Li Xiuning for a long time, but did not notice anything unusual about Li Xiuning.

The two finished their breakfast in silence, Li Xiuning murmured as they walked: "It's strange, Chen Lang is so strange today!"

He Yue'er, who was dressed as a male soldier behind Li Xiuning, didn't take a few steps, yawned, quickly covered her mouth, looked around like a thief, her face was slightly red.

She found that Li Xiuning was looking at He Yue'er with a half-smile.
