The Three Kingdoms Voyage

Chapter 115 Set Sail Houguan Shipyard
Going south from the mouth of Zhejiang, there are more islands, scattered like pearls scattered in the sea, you can see them everywhere, and pirate ships pass by from time to time, so it becomes a must-see scene that can be seen every day. Su's thick legs were very helpful, and a large flag was hung on Sun Shao's boat.The big flag was very rough, with a symbol that couldn't be seen drawn on it, but it was very useful. After seeing the big flag, all the pirates who rushed over excitedly retreated angrily without exception.

Zhang Ke was very satisfied with this unexpected ending, and when he arrived at the mouth of the Minjiang River, he came to say goodbye to Sun Shao with great regret.

"Sun Jun, from now on you will be at the mouth of the Minjiang River, which is under the jurisdiction of the Houguan Shipyard, and no pirates dare to cause trouble in it. Turn the corner ahead, and officers and soldiers will come to greet you."

"What about you?" Seeing that Zhang Yu hesitated to speak, Sun Shao swallowed his saliva as he glanced at the big banner with Su's thick legs, and roughly guessed what he was thinking.But he obviously couldn't give this flag to Zhang Ke, and he planned to keep it for himself.

"I'll go south from here, and go straight to Jiaozhou, where I'll sell this batch of goods, and then buy some novelty goods to go back." Zhang Yu pointed to the sea to the south and said, "If Sun Jun is fast enough, maybe we can still be here See Panyu above."

Sun Shao laughed and asked again: "Are you in a hurry?"

Zhang Yu was stunned for a moment, and shook his head: "The time is not very fast, and it may take a month or two to get a smooth wind when I turn around. Sun Jun, what's the matter?"

"I'm fine, but I'm not very familiar with ships, so I want to ask Mr. Zhang to help me choose a ship. And I think Mr. Zhang has a few ships that need to be repaired. Why don't we go to the shipyard together to take advantage of it and let them repair it by the way. After I get the boat, I will ask Mr. Zhang to lead me to Panyu, and I will also ask Mr. Zhang for help.”

When Zhang Yu heard this, he smiled happily, such a proposal was something he couldn't wish for.Not only can he go to the shipyard to repair the ship, but also with Sun Shao, his safety is guaranteed.Not to mention that he originally had the idea of ​​getting close to Sun Shao, even if he had no idea, he would not refuse this suggestion.

"So good."

Sun Shao smiled.

As Zhang Ke said, the fleet encountered an official ship from Jiangdong not long after sailing west.The leading captain is a man with a long face and a savage face. He is so aggressive that he wished to arrest Zhang Ke as a pirate so that the goods could be confiscated. Later, when he saw Sun Shao and the hundred elites standing behind him , the arrogance suddenly became a little bit lower, as if he was facing a big enemy, he almost peed his pants, when he knew it was Sun Shao, he immediately put on a flattering smile, rushed to Sun Shao in person, and cupped his hands repeatedly: "So it's Sun Shao!" Captain, it's a pleasure to meet you, Captain Li Nong at Xiahouguan Shipyard."

"You know me too?" Sun Shao was amused by the kid's miraculous face-changing technique.

"I know." Li Nong patted his chest: "How many people in Jiangdong don't know about the captain's single-handed defeat of Zhang Liao? Captain Sun, you have greatly boosted the morale of our army. When we mentioned Zhang Liao before, we would immediately His legs are trembling, he's fine now, with the captain here, we don't have to be afraid of him anymore. It's a pity that the captain has such good martial arts skills, but he has to go into business..."

Sun Shao saw that this kid was showing a tendency to lose his temper, so he quickly interrupted him: "Please ask the captain to guide us into Hong Kong."

"Oh, look at my memory. As soon as I saw the captain, I forgot about my business." Li Nong slapped his head, then turned around, and Xiong Jiu returned to the boat in high spirits, ordering his men to turn the boat around loudly Head, go west.Although Sun Shao couldn't hear what he was talking about, but judging by the way he was gesticulating, he was probably bragging.

"Sun Jun became famous in the first battle, congratulations." Zhang Yan stroked his short beard and nodded frequently.

"It's just a little fame, what's there to be happy about." Sun Shao smiled modestly: "When it comes to business, Mr. Zhang is the senior. He has given many pointers from Mr. Zhang along the way, and he will rely on him a lot in the future."

"Hehehe..." Zhang Ji smiled cheerfully.

While chatting and chatting, the two watched the scenery on both sides of the river. They gradually walked westward. After crossing a narrow water surface about [-] paces wide and over [-] paces long, it suddenly opened up in front of them. A piece of water, in the center of the water is a large city built on a sandbar, with flags flying on the city, and soldiers holding halberds and spears patrolling back and forth, the tall water villages extend to the water on both sides, and there is a tall wall on each side of the river. At the gate of the water village, several powerful crossbows were staring at them, and the flashing crossbow arrows were pointing at the slowly approaching fleet.

Li Nong stepped forward, first showed his own banner, and then said loudly: "It is the little overlord, Captain Sun Shaosun, who came to lead the boat, and quickly reported to General Yue."

The people on the wall of the stronghold were obviously very familiar with Li Nong, and after laughing and cursing a few words, a man who looked like a military officer came down, rushed to Sun Shao's boat in a small boat, saluted, checked Sun Shao's official documents, and Looking at the long fleet behind with some doubts: "Captain, these... are all your ships?"

"It's not my boat, it's my friend's boat." Sun Shao didn't explain too much. With a glance of his eyes, Zhang Ke immediately understood, stepped forward and cupped his hands, and the money was in the hands of the man.The man weighed it down, and a smile appeared on his face. "Please wait here, Sun Jun, I will report to General Yue immediately to find out."

The person in charge of the shipyard, General Zhenhai Yuehai, soon arrived. As soon as he saw Sun Shao, he bowed his hands with a smile on his face, and then led Sun Shao into the water village.After passing the water village, we turned a corner and saw another scene in front of us.If we say that there are already boats everywhere outside, then there are almost all boats inside, big and small boats cover the entire river surface, there are tall building boats, there are slender walking boats, first boarders, and flat cargo ships, counting Unclear craftsmen are busy in it, some are repairing, some are painting, some are dismantling old ships, one after another patrol boats pass by quickly, when they see the fleet of Sun Shao and others, their eyes They were all a little surprised.

"No merchant ship has ever been able to enter our Houguan Shipyard." Yue Hai explained: "Today is an exception for the captain. In the past, a fleet of this size entered the shipyard only when it won a big victory against pirates."

"They don't think they treat us as trophies?" Sun Shao asked jokingly.

"Hahaha..." Yue Hai pointed to the battle flag of Su Chukuai on the bow of Sun Shao's boat: "Probably, maybe they really thought they had caught Su Chugui. Just watch, someone will come to beg for it after a while." Drinking. Captain, you will be broke."

Sun Shao suddenly realized, he slapped his head, and smiled at Shuai Zeng and Zhao Xiu: "It's true, you didn't take off this flag when you arrived at the shipyard. The crossbow arrows don't know why."

Yue Hai laughed loudly: "The lieutenant was joking, I just found an excuse to drink the lieutenant's wine, why should the lieutenant take it seriously. Although Su's thick legs are well-known in the sea, he hasn't the guts to come to my marquis. The shipyard has come to the island to cause chaos. If you really are Su’s thick-legged people, you can only be prisoners, and you can’t be anything else.”

"General Yue is so heroic." Sun Shao boasted with a smile.

Yue Hai clenched his fists and shook it, quite proud of himself: "Don't dare to say anything else, water battles, I'm still a little bit sure, although Su's thick legs are known to be powerful, the dozens of boats under his command can be regarded as invincible in the East China Sea hand, but as long as he meets me, he can only run away."

Sun Shao looked at the boastful Yue Hai, and didn't refute, but just boasted at the right time.Yue Hai saw Sun Shao flattering him, although he was a little embarrassed, he was very proud of it.He arranged for someone to take Zhang Xi to the mooring, and he led Sun Shao into the official residence, where he divided the host and guest.Shuai Zeng and Zhao Xiu took the new wine that Sun Shao carried with him, looked across the sea, their noses twitched twice, their eyes lit up immediately, rubbing their big hands, and said with a embarrassed smile: "Sun Jun, I just opened the door. It's a joke, I feel a little bit ashamed of you doing this."

Sun Shao smiled lightly: "It's not for free, I want to exchange these wines for the general's naval warfare."

Yue Hai laughed loudly, slapped his thigh, and said boldly: "Where did Sun Jun come from? If you want to know about naval warfare, you just need to open your mouth. How dare Yue Hai not say enough? Sun Jun singled out Zhang Liao a few days ago. Cao Ying is powerful, and land warfare can be said to be invincible in the world. This sea warfare, except for sailing, is not much different from land warfare. With Sun Jun's force, it is enough to be familiar with it. It's a secret. It's me who just took advantage of Sun Jun. Hahaha..."

Sun Shao also laughed.This Yue Hai seems to be holding back a lot here, and his desire to speak is very strong, as long as he mentions a few words, he can be eloquently eloquent.When Yuehai saw the fine wine, he became more and more excited. He made people prepare a banquet and called some important officials in the shipyard to drink with Sun Shao.After drinking it, Sun Shao realized how famous he is now. Whether these people are civil or military, when they heard his name, they all called him "Jiu Yang" with bright eyes, and without exception, they were outraged that he singled out Zhang Liao. Appreciation, I feel that Sun Shao is like a great benefactor who avenged them for them. It can be seen that the blow to Jiangdong's morale in the Hefei battle is indeed not easy to ignore. Even those who do not need to go to the battlefield have been affected, let alone those who need Facing Cao Jun directly.

Sun Shao came here with a request. He not only came to lead the ship, but also needed to understand the warships and water warfare techniques of this era, so he flattered Yue Hai and others.Yue Hai was quite afraid of his identity at first, but when he saw that he had no airs at all and was very easy to approach, he let go of the burden in his heart, exchanged cups with Sun Shao, and drank to his heart's content until he vomited the food he had eaten earlier Come out, then let it go.

The next day, Yue Hai was hangover and unable to take Sun Shao to see the ship, so Captain Li Nong had to accompany Sun Shao in the shipyard.Li Nong was very happy. He took Sun Shao to look at each process, from material selection to wood analysis, to processing parts, to building the hull, to the final painting and decoration. He is also a talkative person. Asked him, he would spit all over the place, and when asked, he wished to tell Sun Shao everything he knew.Sun Shao had also heard a lot of knowledge about shipbuilding from Ge Heng, and now he saw the relevant process with his own eyes. The two phases were confirmed, and the impression was immediately clearer. In his opinion, many points that Li Nong was proud of It is not so difficult to understand.

Li Nong finally led Sun Shao to a water dock, pointed to two large ships under construction and said: "These two ships are newly built, with the most exquisite materials and the most beautiful decoration. After waiting for two days, I will hand over these two boats to the captain. When the captain appears on the sea in such a boat, no matter who he is with thick legs, he will run away."

Sun Shao looked at the two four-story boats that were being finished with finishing touches, shook his head and smiled and said, "Thank you, General Yue, for your kindness. Such a beautiful boat should be dedicated to the Supreme. How dare I sit on it. I just want two and two A warship on the first floor will do.”

Li Nong looked at Sun Shao suspiciously, wondering if what Sun Shao said was true or not.Sun Quan's order only said that there were two warships, but did not specify which warships. Sun Shao was given two four-story buildings. This not only has the credit for yesterday's dinner, but also makes Sun Shao amiable and does not put on airs. There is a great relationship.Generally speaking, since Yue Hai offered to give him a boat that exceeded the specification, he should accept it. This kind of refusal is usually polite.Li Nong thought for a while and smiled again: "The captain is a hero, and only such a building is worthy of being a captain."

"But I'm afraid it will turn over." Sun Shao said with a smile.

"Uh——" Li Nong was speechless. He looked at Sun Shao with some embarrassment, thought for a moment, and then stammered: "What Sun Jun is worried about is not unreasonable. It is true that I am afraid of the wind, once the wind and waves get stronger, I can only enter the port to avoid it. For Sun Jun, it is indeed somewhat inconvenient."

"Hahaha..." Sun Shaogong cupped his hands: "What the captain said is true. Even a two-story building boat, I have to ask the general for help to make a little modification."

"Reform?" Li Nong raised his broom eyebrows, "How to reform?"

"Help me add something to the ship." Sun Shao patted Li Nong on the shoulder and said mysteriously, "I want to have an interview with the general. I wonder when the general will be free?"

Seeing that he spoke cautiously, Li Nong didn't dare to ask more questions, and immediately took Sun Shao to see Yue Hai.Yue Hai just got up and was rubbing his temples. When he saw Li Nong leading Sun Shao in, he smiled and said, "Sun Jun, are you satisfied with those two buildings?"

Li Nong stepped forward and whispered a few words in his ear, Yue Hai frowned, and stood up: "What magic method does Sun Jun have, which can solve the problem of easy-to-roll boats?"

"Try it." Sun Shao smiled enigmatically.

"You can find all the technicians." Without saying a word, Yue Hai waved his hand, and Li Nong strode out. After a short step, several shipbuilding technicians rushed over.When Sun Shao mentioned the matter of placing iron counterweights on the bottom of the ship, the technicians remained silent and looked at each other with surprise and joy in their eyes.

"This..." one of the oldest technicians stroked his beard and said, "It's not difficult to install iron blocks, but where to install them, how much to install, and how to distribute them, you really have to think about it, otherwise, it will be harmful to the whole world." The hull of the ship can have a big impact."

"It makes sense." Sun Shao raised a thumb appreciatively: "An expert is an expert, and you can see the crux of the problem at once."

"No, I just heard it from a little friend." The old technician smiled ashamedly: "If the captain allows, I am willing to invite him to visit the captain. Speaking of which, my little friend is building a ship On the one hand, he is a genius, although the old man has worked hard on shipbuilding for more than 30 years, but compared with him, he still feels inferior."

"Is there such a genius in my shipyard?" Yue Hai was also a little surprised.

"My lord, he is not from the shipyard." The old technician bowed and gave a salute: "He is not in the shipyard now, he lives in Dongzhi City. If the general allows, I am willing to send someone to invite him right now. Mr. Sun If Lieutenant's request is fulfilled by him, it will be very appropriate."

Yue Hai glanced at Sun Shao with a questioning look, but Sun Shao hesitated. This is Jiangdong's official shipyard. It is no problem for them to know this secret, but if it is leaked to outsiders, then this technical secret may not be kept. Living.He looked at the old technician with some hesitation: "Dare to ask the old man, who is your little friend from?"

Although the old technician is not as sensitive to technical secrecy as Sun Shao, he has worked in the shipyard all his life. Of course he knows what Sun Shao is worried about. He stroked his beard and pondered for a moment: "My little friend is named Ge Mingheng. People are among the eight absolutes."

Sun Shao was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed. He was sending someone to look for Ge Heng, but he didn't expect Ge Heng to be in Hou Guan.He rubbed his forehead and laughed loudly: "It turned out to be Ge Sizhen, but he is also my best friend. I was looking for him everywhere, but I didn't expect him to be in Dongzhi."

When Yue Hai heard this, he couldn't help laughing, since Sun Shao was at ease with him, of course he didn't have any objections, and immediately sent someone to Dongzhi City to find Ge Heng.Houguan Shipyard is not too far away from Dongzhi City. That night, Ge Heng rushed to the shipyard, accompanied by a handsome young man with delicate features.

"Sun Jun." As soon as Ge Heng saw Sun Shao, he stepped forward to salute with a smile on his face.

"Sizhen, you're in good spirits." Sun Shao squeezed his eyes and signaled Ge Heng to say something in private, and Ge Heng understood, "I have broadened my horizons along the way, and I am naturally full of energy. Sun Jun, let me introduce you to a You are a young hero, this is Dong Jun, who is taboo, has a different character, he is not good at medicine, and he is good at guiding and nourishing health, and he is very close to my uncle."

Before Sun Shao had time to speak, Yue Hai was taken aback, stepped forward, took a good look at Dong Feng, and said happily: "It turns out that the famous doctor Dong is so young, it is beyond Yue Hai's imagination." .”

Sun Shao was a little puzzled. If he wanted to talk about the miracle doctor of the Three Kingdoms period, he knew that there was Zhang Ji and Hua Tuo. When will Dong Feng come out again?And seeing that he is so young, how good is his medical skills?However, although Yue Hai is rough and bold, he is by no means the kind of humble corporal. This person is still somewhat arrogant in his bones. If Dong Feng had no real skills, he would not be so polite.Besides, the person Ge Heng specially brought to introduce him should not be someone who sells dog skin plasters.He looked at Dong Feng who greeted Yue Hai with a smile, and secretly made up his mind.

Dong Feng, who was talking to Yue Hai, felt heart palpitations for no reason. He glanced around subconsciously, just in time to see Sun Shao's greed hidden in his smile. Eyes like spring breeze.He couldn't believe it, looked at Sun Shao's eyes for a while, and still felt that he might be a little allergic to standing in the barracks, how could there be anyone in the world who changed his face so quickly, besides, he was not a great beauty, could it be This young nobleman likes masculinity?
Thinking of this, Dong Feng got goosebumps all over his body.
