Riding and chopping: Overlord of the Han and Hungarians

Chapter 164 Chapter 163

The sailboat docked in a big river thirty miles away from Wuhuan City.

Going down, you will enter Liaodong, and you will go down the Liaohe River to the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea.

The convenience of the waterway is not comparable to that of the land. In the past, it took Zhang Qi a horse to travel from Xianbei to Wuhuan at full speed. It took a day, but after boarding the sailboat, he arrived outside Wuhuan in just a few hours.

The shipwrights anchored the sailboat and docked it to furl the sails.

This ship is not too big among sea-going ships, and it can bear nearly [-] tons if it is fully loaded with people and supplies.

The ship has four floors, the uppermost deck, the lower floor is the residence, and the lower two and third floors are the cargo compartments for materials.

Moreover, there are openings on both sides of the next floor, which Zhang Qi specially ordered. Although he can't cast cannons, he can install bed crossbows.

The docking location chosen by the shipwrights was flat, and after laying a few long planks, Zhang Qi got off the boat.

Looking around, Zhang Qi asked Yang Disheng beside him: "How about building a pier at this location?"

Yang Disheng didn't respond immediately, but beckoned, and several shipwrights from the world of riding and cutting ran over.

"Go explore the surrounding area, and if the terrain is suitable, choose a site for a new dock."

The shipwrights made a promise to Zhang Qi and Yang Disheng.

They went out to explore, and other people on the boat also led Zhang Qi and others' horses down one after another.

It was the first time to take a boat, and the cross-country horse didn't like it very much. After stepping on the land, he hurriedly ran behind Zhang Qi and snorted non-stop.

Zhang Qi laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, you will not get used to it the first time, and it will be fine if you do it more times in the future."

Under Zhang Qi's comfort, the off-road horse gradually became quiet.

Not long after, the few shipwrights who ran out ran back.

"Your Majesty, steward, the terrain here is suitable for building a pier."

"Okay, hard work."

Zhang Qi waved his hand and looked at Yang Disheng: "Let's go, go back to Wuhuan first, I'll ask Hu Ling and the others to send someone over."

Yang Disheng nodded, got on another horse, and the two of them galloped away together with the female guard.

The remaining shipwrights took out their tools and began to clean up the nearby ground.

Thirty miles is not a long distance, and it will be reached soon by riding a horse.

"Your Majesty is back, open the hanging door!"

The militiamen in charge of climbing the heights had spotted the dozen or so people on horseback long ago, and shouted repeatedly.

Although the city wall is only about six meters high now, the corresponding facilities are already under construction. The position of the city gate at the moment is that the top of the hanging door is not sealed, and it is retracted and retracted by some pulley blocks.

bang bang bang.

There was a lot of movement when the city gate was lowered, and Zhang Qi and the others slowed down as they got closer to the city gate.

Entering the city gate, Zhang Qi got off his horse directly, and the experienced militiamen guarding the city gate stepped forward and led the horses of the crowd.

Right now, there are workers working everywhere in Wuhuan City. It is not safe to enter on horseback, and it is easy to cause trampling. The current focus of construction is the city wall, and the roads in the city have not yet started to be built.

While walking, Zhang Qi said.

"Ask Hu Ling to meet me in the main building of the city."

A female soldier on the side stood still and took orders.

But Zhang Qi and the others continued to walk towards the city.

"Your Majesty!"

"I have seen Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, be safe."

"Owner."

"."

Along the way, the people of Wuhuan City who saw Zhang Qi saluted one after another, and Zhang Qi also nodded with a smile.

After walking straight forward for two or three miles, Zhang Qicai returned to the city main building where he usually works.

Not long after returning, Hu Ling and the others also arrived.

"Your Majesty!"

Several people came to stand in the middle of the lobby respectfully, Zhang Qi nodded slightly, walked to the upper seat and sat down.

"Organize thousands of laborers to build a pier by the river thirty miles outside the city, and send supplies and tools along with it. Bai Xing, you take the people there yourself."

A female bodyguard hand in the promise, she was arranged by Naqi after Qinghua got married to replace Qinghua's daily work.

Zhang Qi didn't know what the name was at the beginning, but now it's called Bai Xing.

After ordering Hu Ling and the others, Zhang Qi looked at Yang Disheng again.

"Sit down, go and get me a pot of tea."

After Yang Disheng sat down, several female soldiers went to make tea.

The tea leaves are wild camellia picked from Daxing'an Mountains. After being kneaded and fermented, they have been wiped in a pot, which is in line with the taste of green tea in Zhang Qi's impression.

He couldn't taste the quality of the tea, but he gradually got used to drinking tea while reading.

The faint tea fragrance is very fresh, Zhang Qi and Yang Disheng talked about it while tasting the tea.

"Have you found the clever shipwright you were looking for?"

Zhang Qi was serving the teacup, the white glaze was shiny and shiny, it was porcelain rather than pottery.

"I don't know how many clever shipwrights the master wants. Among the 30 shipwrights who accompanied us this time, I selected more than [-]. Some of them came from the Kingdom of God like me, and some of them were apprentices recruited more than half a year ago."

"More than 30 people? That's enough." Zhang Qi held the handle of the teapot, scalded the teacup in the porcelain basin, then used a bamboo splint to clamp the hot teacup out, and poured a cup of hot tea for Yang Disheng. Tea.

"Try it, this kind of tea is only available to me now, the only one in the world."

Pushing the teacup in front of Yang Disheng, Zhang Qi continued.

"With these more than 30 people incorporated into the army, I will ask Wang Li and Zhiwang to send thousands of people out for sea training. Finally, 270 people will be selected to form a navy of 300 people."

"Don't manage the dock these days. I can see that they can operate without you. I have worked hard recently and helped me train a group of qualified sailors. I want to see the results within three months. .”

Yang Disheng picked up the teacup and sniffed lightly, the fragrance of the tea soon conquered him.

"The master is really good at calling people. I am a brilliant student who graduated from the engineering school, but who told me that this is the order of the master. Disheng obeyed."

After taking a sip, the slightly bitter taste made Yang Disheng frown, but the sweetness that followed made his frown relax.

"The master knows a lot. This tea is a good thing. The master should reward me with some."

"You are indispensable. During the training of sailors, let them understand the structure of the hull. Once there is a danger at sea, there will be enough people to rescue them."

"clear."

"At these times, we also need to prepare containers suitable for holding water during long-distance voyages. We also need to prepare a set of distillation equipment. If we cannot get supplies in time, we can still rely on the distiller to obtain fresh water in a short time. These 300 people are considered pioneers. They have to face The dangers of being right are enormous.

Therefore, you have to find a way to let them adapt to some dangers in advance, such as lack of water, less food, disorientation and other trainings to deal with disasters at sea. We are the first batch of people on long-distance voyages, and there is no homework to copy, so!
Be sure to work hard! "

Ocean navigation is the top priority in Zhang Qi's heart, so he is still full of worries after repeated instructions.

And Yang Disheng, who could see Zhang Qi's thoughts, also corrected his attitude at the moment.

Standing up, he respectfully promised, "I will definitely fulfill the master's orders!"
