Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 419
Han Yike, Yu Tongyuan and other high-ranking officials of the Shipping Department rushed back to Nanjing without stopping after receiving the order from His Highness to urgently recruit them to Beijing.

Deng Duo, who went to meet them, did not take them into the city, but came to the Treasure Shipyard in the northwest of the city.

"Why are you here?!" Yu Tongyuan and the Wu family brothers were at odds with each other, so naturally they didn't like their territory.

"Hahaha, this is my king's territory!" From the top of the city, came the arrogant laughter of His Highness King Chu.

"Your Highness!" Everyone hurriedly got off their horses to meet His Highness.

"No, no, come in quickly." Zhu Zhen greeted everyone with a smile to come into Bao Shipyard.

~~
On the watchtower in front of the pond, His Royal Highness the King of Chu pointed to the giant ships in the pond, Gu Pan Zixiong said to Han Yike, Yu Tongyuan and others: "This is our ship!"

"Really, that's great!" Yu Tongyuan and the others burst into flames immediately. "With these ships, we can get rid of the shame!"

"Isn't this the imperial court's ship?" Han Yike could never get rid of Kuaikou.

"The Treasure Shipyard is now owned by the Shipbuilding Department." Lao Liu rolled his eyes, and Mr. Luo hurriedly explained.

"Then you can't embezzle the court's ship." Han Yike still shook his head.

"Of course it will cost money." The sixth child said angrily, "I also have to thank the captain of the big brother."

"That's it..." Although Han Yike didn't quite understand His Highness's nonsense, he remembered that His Highness said at that time that he wanted to ask a big family in Suzhou to donate money.

"In short, you will be in charge of the follow-up of this shipyard." The sixth child immediately assigned him a task and said, "The director of the factory just died, and the rest of the shipyard are also guilty. You must resume work and production as soon as possible, and you must Guaranteed quality and quantity, do you understand?"

"Understood." Instead of scratching his head, Han Yike was a little excited.

Not for anything else, just for a thrill.Moreover, His Highness has already made a sample in Suzhou, how to deal with all the villains, he only needs to follow the prescription and make a little improvement.

~~
On that day, Yu Tongyuan and others worked tirelessly to check all the boats in the pond, and they didn't even bother to eat.

Early the next morning, Marquis Nan'an reported the inspection situation to His Highness with dark circles under his eyes.

"Why, not optimistic?" Zhu Zhen lost much joy when he saw Yu Tongyuan's face.

"How should I put it, mixed joy and sorrow." Yu Tongyuan said with a wry smile: "The ten completed warships are in good condition. After serious maintenance and repairs, they should be ready to go to battle."

"But." His Royal Highness King Chu took a sip of lotus leaf porridge.

"But those ten semi-finished products will take at least half a year to be launched." Yu Tongyuan said with a wry smile: "Bao Shipyard's shipbuilding is about slow work and meticulous work. The ship is indeed better than other places, but it is also slower than other places."

"Half a year, it's too late..." King Chu put down the porridge bowl and took the handkerchief from the maid to wipe his mouth.He picked up a large envelope on the table, handed it to the other party and said, "I just received it."

Yu Tongyuan saw the stamp of "six hundred miles urgent" and the delivery time on the envelope, and knew that the letter was sent out yesterday, and it was delivered to the capital overnight.

He quickly took out the letter paper and looked at it, his face turned pale immediately.

Liao Dingguo also leaned over curiously, and his face changed after watching it.

The letter was written by several people, including Wang Dayuan, Yu Tongjiang, and Liao Dingguo's younger brother Liao Weiguo.

These people have one thing in common, that is, they are all on the four captured ships.

He knew why Yu Tongyuan was in a hurry.Because the captured sailors on the four ships, as well as Wang Dayuan and Yu Tongjiang, are now serving hard labor in the pirate's lair.

Just a few days ago, the gang of pirates sent the letters written by Wang Dayuan, Yu Tongjiang and others to the Yamen of the Shibo Department.Order them to pay a huge ransom within a month, otherwise they will kill a person in one day until they are finished...

The people of the Shibo Department did not dare to neglect the letters, and quickly used their highest authority to send the letters to the capital.

This made the matter suddenly urgent - if the ship is built in the first half of the year, and then the officers and soldiers take over the ship, it will take a month to run in, right?Before the time comes, all the captured personnel should be killed.

Most of the Chaohu naval forces are brothers, father and son soldiers, so they have suffered for more than half a year, and the pressure is too great.I'm afraid that if it doesn't last until then, the army's morale will collapse.

Zhu Zhen knew that by helping Yu Tongyuan and the others and rescuing the captured brothers at this time, he would be able to completely gain the loyalty of the Chaohu Navy, instead of being just their last choice like now.

So from the very beginning, he took this matter on his shoulders.

"So, these semi-finished products can't be counted on?" Zhu Zhen asked in a deep voice, "Let's not talk about those materials."

"Of course it will be of great use in the future, but it's just that it can't quench your near thirst." Yu Tongyuan said in a harsh voice.

"These are the ten boats that can be used together." Zhu Zhen pondered: "Two of four thousand boats, eight of two thousand boats...is there a little less?"

"It's much less." Liao Dingguo sighed.

"In the previous battle alone, we saw that they had 24 pieces of two thousand materials, and seventy or eighty large and small clippers." Yu Tongyuan also sighed: "The gap in strength is too great, and we can't take this point of your highness." Let's refuel the family."

"To be honest, do you want to use these ten boats to save people? Don't worry about what I think." Zhu Zhen stared at Nan'an Hou with piercing eyes.

"..." Marquis Nan'an hesitated for a moment, nodded his head heavily and said, "I want to!"

"If the brothers just died in battle, then there is nothing to say, and the earthen jar will inevitably be broken." Then his eyes turned red, and he choked up, "But now they... well, if you don't try, it will make people sleep and eat hard." !"

"Okay." Zhu Zhen nodded and said, "I approve."

"Your Highness..." Marquis of Nan'an and Liao Dingguo knelt down on the ground with a puff, and they were so moved that they burst into tears, "If I can come back by chance, I will be your Highness in this life, and I will do whatever I can!"

"Of course you guys have to come back safely!" Zhu Zhen said decisively: "Before you came, this king thought about it-the enemy is outnumbered, but the two enemy troops-Fang Bu and Chen Bu, themselves The contradiction is deep, and the latter once wanted to annex the former. They should not always be together, and should be separated at ordinary times!"

"Yes." Nan'anhou and the two had light in their eyes when they heard this.The two of them were only concerned about shock before, and they didn't expect this at all. "If they divide and annihilate them, they have a little more big ships than us, so they still have something to fight!"

"Also." Zhu Zhen said in a deep voice, "I still have a way to improve combat power, but it may subvert your perception. I wonder if you would like to hear it?"

"Yes, of course!" The two nodded vigorously. "As long as we can save the brothers, we will listen to everything!"

"Okay, my suggestion is that when meeting the enemy in the future, turn from the bow to the enemy and change to the side!" Zhu Zhen said in a deep voice.

"Facing the enemy sideways?" The two couldn't help being disappointed. What kind of bad idea is this?Waiting for others to hit your own hull with the bow?
ps. It's gone tonight.
