The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 420 Master Ye’s wonderful use of bicycles, Wang Baobao’s death tactics, Zhu Yuanzhang no longer recognizes people!
As soon as Xu Da finished speaking, he just patted his emperor brother on the back and left for his cabin.

Zhu Yuanzhang ignored Xu Da and just closed his eyes, thinking about what Xu Da said.

After a while, he relaxed his brows and opened his eyes.

Time soon came to the next morning,
But when Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da came to the hall to have breakfast, they found that Ye Qing, Wang Baobao and Zhu Di were not there, and their bowls and chopsticks were even missing.

"Where are Master Ye and Wang Shuai?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked the cook who was setting out the meals.

While placing the food, the cook replied: "They got up early to eat. I heard Mr. Ye said that he would take them to the power cabin to see it after they finished eating."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said, "What kind of cabin is the power cabin?"

The cook just shook his head and said: "General, I'm just a cook. I only know how to cook the stove, but I don't know about the power cabin!"

Zhu Yuanzhang also felt that it was indeed embarrassing for others, so he stopped asking any more questions.

After breakfast, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xu Da, who was sitting there with his eyes closed and resting.

He patted Xu Da on the shoulder, and in a tone of resentment, he educated him as an old brother: "Xu Da, how can you be so useless?"

Xu Da was confused by what Zhu Yuanzhang said!

Xu Da asked with common sense: "Are you talking to me as His Majesty the Emperor, or are you talking to me as Brother Chongba?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said, "Is there any difference?"

Xu Da said firmly: "Of course, the difference is huge!"

After a short period of thinking, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that since they were away from home, they should naturally talk about brothers instead of monarchs and ministers.

"As long as our butts are not in that position, we are brothers."

Zhu Yuanzhang said extremely straightforwardly.

When Xu Da heard this, he immediately nodded happily, and then asked seriously: "Brother, why do you say that I am useless?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously: "You see Wang Baobao is so eager to learn, why do you just lie down on the rocking chair after eating?"

"Why don't you go to the power cabin and learn from me?"

As soon as Xu Da heard this, he immediately understood the old brother's intention.

He just wanted to see Ye Qing's core skills out of curiosity, but he didn't want to make him look like an old man.

Therefore, he wanted Xu Da to work as a spearman for him, and then he was forced to follow Xu Da and lick his face to watch.

Thinking of this, Xu Da just rolled his eyes at Zhu Yuanzhang secretly.

"brother?"

"Brother is used as a gun wielder?"

"That's right. When did you, Zhu Chongba, not use your brothers as spearmen?"

"When you were a child, you peeked at Widow Qin taking a bath. I was kind enough to help you look after you. When you were discovered, you immediately removed my jaw and then falsely accused me."

"I didn't eat pork, and I was beaten as a pig thief!"

"If I hadn't been able to beat you when I was a kid, I would have killed you on the spot!"

"Later, I thought that when I grow up, I can practice my martial arts before beating you, but when I grow up, I find that if I beat you, I will be beheaded?"

"."

As soon as Xu Da thought of this, he turned over and lazily closed his eyes again.

At the same time, he said lazily: "Why panic? He is the marshal in this battle, so he should naturally know as much as possible."

"When I become the marshal, I'll just let Brother Ye teach me again."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Da closed his eyes tightly. No matter how Zhu Yuanzhang tried to persuade him, he would act like a dead pig and not say another word.

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious when he looked at Xu Da, who looked very much like 'Ye Zhixian' at this moment.

"Okay!"

"Is this the attitude of brothers?"

"Xu, please wait for me."

Zhu Yuanzhang secretly scolded Xu Da and went to the deck angrily.

What he can do now is look at the naval port of Nara Prefecture, the capital of Japan's southern dynasty, in the direction of Nara Port, looking forward to the naval battle tomorrow morning.

He wanted to see how powerful the warship designed by Ye Qing was, and how much better it was than his warship in the Poyang Lake water battle?

He also wanted to know what kind of defeat he would get from the "wonderful man in the world" whom he personally named as "the strange man in the world", who had the mentality of completely ending the fight with Qian Yuan?
At the same time, Ye Qing also led Wang Baobao and Zhu Di to the bottom of the handsome ship, which is the so-called power cabin.

In fact, the full name of this power cabin is called 'Wartime Artificial Power Cabin'!
Wang Baobao stood in front of the power cabin, looking at the scene in front of him and feeling quite shocked.

On both sides of the bottom cabin, which is as wide as a deck, there are fifteen double oars erected on each side, and a long 'keel roll' is arranged vertically in the middle!
The keel rollover is a human or animal-powered water pumping mechanism specially used to pump water from a low place to a high place.

Its structure uses wooden boards as grooves and the tail is immersed in the water flow.

When water needs to be pumped, just step on the crutch to rotate the large axle, which will drive the blades in the trough to scrape the water up, and then pour it into the higher-lying farmland.

This water-pumping mechanism, which began in the Eastern Han Dynasty, has been improved and developed in later generations. Now there are water-rotating keel carts that use running water as power, ox-drawn keel carts that use oxen to rotate gears, and wind-driven keel carts that use wind power to rotate. .

Wang Baobao looked at the oars on both sides and naturally knew what was going on.

After the war begins, they will lower the mast and use this combat maneuver similar to 'dragon boating'.

It's just that he doesn't understand why such a giant 'keel rollover' is installed in the middle?
"Brother Ye,"

"Why are you installing such a giant keel rollover?"

"If you are afraid that the ship will not sink fast enough after being hit, will you pump water to help it sink?"

Ye Qing just rolled his eyes at Wang Baobao and said, "Do you think I look like a fool?"

"Yup!"

"You're not stupid, how could you design such a thing?"

Ye Qing pointed at the many 'bicycles' above and said, "Are you blind?" "Have you not noticed that there are so many seats with back-facing designs on top of this so-called 'keel rollover'?"

Wang Baobao nodded and said: "I noticed, I don't even understand why the keel of the overturned car is placed here, right?"

"When you ask questions, you have to come one at a time!"

Ye Qing laughed angrily at him, but he had to say that what he said made some sense.

In this way, Ye Qing patiently explained to Wang Baobao and Zhu Di the usage of this 'giant keel rollover' and the many 'bicycles' standing with their backs on top of this giant keel rollover.

After hearing this, Wang Baobao and Zhu Di's eyes immediately lit up, followed by a lot of praise.

"Master, you are so amazing."

"This is the battleship that comes and goes like the wind!"

"It would be great if the Emperor's Longjiang Shipyard had your skills!"

Ye Qing felt quite comfortable listening to Zhu Di's praise.

But he also said, 'If the emperor had given me death, his Longjiang Shipyard would already have these technologies,' and he did not dare to say it.

After Zhu Di finished his praise, Wang Baobao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Brother Ye, you are simply too talented."

"If your boy had been born a few years earlier, it would not have been Chen Youliang but you who would have fought the Poyang Lake water battle with Emperor Zhu."

"In this case, you will be the one to lead the Northern Expedition, and I can directly surrender to you!"

Ye Qing felt very useless when he heard Wang Baobao's ferocious words of praise.

Because in his opinion, this is the most ruthless 'curse' to him!
Ye Qing said impatiently: "Okay, after seeing so many key techniques, do you have any more perfect tactics in your mind?"

Wang Baobao said seriously: "Give me a cup of tea."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Baobao decisively closed his eyes.

Based on his understanding of various types of ships in the fleet and various ship-borne weapons, combined with the tactics he had formulated before, he began to think of more perfect tactics.

From the perspective of a professional general like him, there is only one standard for measuring tactics.

That is to exchange for the greatest results with the smallest sacrifice!

Finally, he opened his eyes.

"Walk,"

"Let's go to the meeting hall. I already have better tactics."

"Commander, I already have a better strategy!"

Especially when he said the last words, his eyes became deeper and sharper than an eagle.

In the meeting hall,

Wang Baobao stood at the top of the combat sandbox.

Ye Qing, Zhu Yuanzhang and others stood on both sides to watch him explain his new tactics.

After a while, Wang Baobao finished explaining his new tactics.

But no one at the scene clapped and applauded, not even one said 'agree'.

After a brief silence, Zhu Yuanzhang shouted angrily: "Wang Baobao, who do you think you are?"

"Even if the gods come down to earth, you can't do this!"

"How can the coach rush to the front while the soldiers watch the show from behind?"

At this point, he snorted coldly and said: "In our opinion, you don't want to end up with Qian Yuan, you just want to report to the Qian Yuan court after you die in the battle!"

If Zhu Yuanzhang dared to scold him like this before, he would have become angry.

Originally!
He is not the one who surrendered to Zhu Yuanzhang!
But now, he chose to endure it because his tactics were too risky.

Especially for Zhu Yuanzhang, a person who doesn't know much about the core technology of ships, his tactics are tantamount to seeking death!
Thinking of this, he just looked at Xu Da and Ye Qing.

Although Xu Da didn't understand the core technology of the ship, he knew enough about Wang Baobao.

Wang Baobao is a man who is both coarse and fine, and he is also a man who never takes any chances that are uncertain.

In his opinion, Wang Baobao's sudden change of tactics must have his reasons.

Xu Da just looked at Wang Baobao and said: "You are the marshal, and I am just your general now. We have the right to make suggestions, but the decision-making power rests with you."

"My opinion is that I agree with Wang Shuai's latest tactics."

Wang Baobao looked at Xu Da at this moment. He didn't like it at all.

But when Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xu Da, he didn't like it no matter how he looked at it.

"you"

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was about to continue to refute, Ye Qing, who had the 'ownership' of the fleet, directly said: "I agree."

"I believe in the battleship I designed, and I also believe in the marshal I chose!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qing went to the deck alone, not bothering to listen to Mr. Guo calling here.

As soon as Ye Qing left, Xu Da, Wang Baobao and Zhu Di followed him.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the ship model on the sand table, and he really thought about it and felt that Wang Baobao's new tactics were leading to death!

But on this ship, he has no decision-making power at all, only the right to make suggestions and the responsibility to follow orders.

"Better not lose the fight!"

"If I lose the face of 'Honorary Shopkeeper Zhu Yuanzhang', I won't even recognize 'The Wonderful Man in the World'!"

"."

When Zhu Yuanzhang thought of this, his eyes became as sharp as a knife.

Early the next morning,
Just when the sun appeared above the sea and sky, the naval soldiers on the deck of the lead ship saw the coastline appearing at the end!
