Tang Dynasty good brother

Chapter 434 Sickness

With the support of so many local businessmen, Qin Hao devoted himself to formal work almost the same day he arrived in Yangzhou.

Of course, Qin Hao is actually just putting on a show. The main technical guidance is Qin Xiaohao. The Santa Trinidad is almost the pinnacle of wooden ships before the industrial revolution. It has four decks, 61 meters long and wide. It is 16 meters long and has a displacement of nearly five tons. For such a giant, even if he builds a smaller one, the workload is still huge, but the construction speed is very fast.

It took Spain four years from design to launching such a ship. Of course, the design itself also took more than a year. In addition, the manpower and material resources are not on the same level.

But Datang's speed was really scary. From Qin Hao to Yangzhou, to the launch of the big ship, it only took four months in total!The workers and master craftsmen all lived and ate on the construction site. They worked in two shifts during the day and night, and hardly needed any organization and mobilization work. Qin Hao, the so-called leader, was more like a logistics brigade captain. His daily work was to care for everyone as much as possible. The physical condition of the craftsmen, don't let them die suddenly on the construction site.

The hearts of the people are available.

Of course, this is also inseparable from Datang's current abundance of funds.

Generally speaking, everyone in the current Tang Dynasty has a dream. In the past ten years since Li Shimin came to power, the people's life has indeed improved significantly by leaps and bounds. I also experienced the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and I changed my son to eat, and the younger ones have already begun to dislike the meat being too fat.

With such a big contrast, all the people in the world have almost [-]% loyalty to the Tang Dynasty, and the people are willing to fight and sacrifice for such a court. In a more modern way, when the national power is exploding, nothing is impossible of.

The people all over the world took a deep breath and let the whole country advance and retreat together. It is impossible for such a court to fail. Even if it fails, it will use this breath to rise again.

Under such a breath, the entire Tang Dynasty was almost crazy. From Chang'an all the way to the west, more people donated everything for this battle. , Spontaneously went to the battlefield with a weapon, and could not be driven away, using a small cart to ensure the logistics supply of the army, and this kind of enthusiasm drove the enthusiasm of the soldiers to serve the country, and they never retreated.

When I opened the newspaper, it was full of stories about the war in the Western Regions, and one of them was more or less related to him. Xue Li, a 15-year-old general, led [-] Eastern Turkic cavalry to the battlefield for more than [-] miles. Achieved the first victory in this battle.

This made Qin Hao sigh that time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the little kids from back then have grown up and can be independent.

After all, the main force of the Anxi Duhu Mansion led by Hou Junji was still a member of the party. After two small victories in the West Turks, they were quite proud, but when the East Turks cavalry led by Li Ji and Ashnadur arrived at the battlefield, they were a little bit laughing not coming out.

It's hard to imagine that these East Turkic people were the sworn enemies of the Tang Dynasty ten years ago, but now they all want to serve the country loyally. They really fight with you.

This is also thanks to Li Shimin's Hu-Han integration policy. The East Turks have been so close to the Hexi Corridor in recent years, and they have not lost the dividends of the Silk Road. The key is that Datang has hardly received much from them under such a highly prosperous situation. Filial piety, on the contrary, when encountering a black disaster and a white disaster, I will help them with money and effort.

These days, Bitme was so happy when he was under Jieli's subordinates. Now is the time when Datang needs them the most. How can they not die? Well, it happened to be the fucking Western Turks.

If you don't fight harder, how can you prove to Datang that we are not in the same family as you?Don't talk about fellow nationals, the grassland people don't have this concept at all, because they are called Turks, many Han people have misunderstood us, and those uneducated rural fools thought it was us who rebelled.

On the other hand, Pei Xingjian's sea was tepid. Dashi was determined to compete with Datang this time. Such a huge fleet actually spent most of the time wandering in Southeast Asia. They rushed to Datang's side several times, and one time they killed them near Quanzhou. Fortunately, Pei Xingjian arrived in time and drove them away with the help of the terrain and fortifications, especially the local soldiers in Quanzhou.

When had Datang been bullied at the door of his house like this?Especially in the case of such a vigorous fight in the west, if Pei Xingjian can't make a good counterattack, with Pei Xingjian's qualifications, this incident alone is enough to beat him to the end.

This guy was naturally in a hurry, and he wrote eight letters of appeal for help within a month. If he didn't build a new ship, he could hardly stand it anymore.

Finally, the artillery transported from the capital also arrived.

The Spanish Santa Trinidad has 140 cannons, which can smash enemy ships into pieces once fired. However, Datang’s cannon technology is not yet mature. At present, his cannons are still made of copper, which are relatively large and Heavy, this is also the reason why the Galen cannot be equipped with guns, so when the ship finally goes to sea, there are only forty 'poor' guns on the four decks plus one.

On the day of going to sea, Qin Hao stood excitedly on the top deck. This is a symbol of the national strength of the Tang Dynasty, and a symbol of unity between the army and the people of the Tang Dynasty. He can't wait to drive this boat to bully people. With this thing, even if It's because he doesn't know how to fight at all, and he is confident in traveling all over the world.

However, he finally suppressed his urge and just ordered someone to send the boat to him.Not going to the battlefield, not holding military power, this is his bottom line, and Pei Xingjian is also considered one of his own, this is his victory.

…………

On the day the boat was sent away, Qin Hao called Qin Xiaohao to the study.

"Dad, look for me."

"Well, it's thanks to you that the Datang was built so quickly this time."

"Why are we still talking about this? Isn't the matter of Datang also our family's business? Our family is based in the Qing Gang, and the Qing Gang is based in Shipping. If we don't win this battle, our family will be over in the future."

"Yes, you have brains, so let me ask you, what should we father and son do next."

"Huh? What do you mean? After the ship is built, it's natural to return to Beijing."

"Hey, with your brain, you still want to be Sima Zhao? Son, you are a genius in science, but you are really not a politician. Listen to my advice, be honest, and stop doing so many useless things. "

"Then dad, what do you mean..."

"I can't go back to the capital. I want to recuperate in Yangzhou. I have built such a big ship in four months. I have worked hard and I am exhausted. I must stay in Yangzhou to recuperate until your Majesty returns to Beijing after a big victory." I’ll be fine later, understand? Go back and think about it if you don’t understand it, if you don’t understand it, you will obediently listen to me in the future and don’t make trouble, understand?”

"Yes."
