Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 496 The End of the Hero
The country was destroyed and the family was destroyed, and Princess Jinzhi was living in the rivers and lakes.

Fortunately, the great monk Deng Yuanjue had rich experience in the world, so he asked the little princess to dress up as a woman, and even smeared some dust on her face.

The three of them were highly skilled and bold, and were hunted and arrested by the officers and soldiers several times.Those in the big team hid, and those in the small team killed them.

As for the combination of Shi Bao and Deng Yuanjue, hundreds of officers and soldiers are not enough to fight, so why take care of the little princess. Of course, this little princess is not simple, and she can protect herself with one-handed sword skills.

In private, the great monk said: "Shi Bao, the world is so big that there is no room for the two of us. The only capable master in the world is Chai Lin. Let us follow the princess and go for refuge."

Shi Bao said: "It has to be like this. Although you and I are fierce, we don't know how to manage. We can't do it alone."

The three came to the Qiantang River, where Cangzhou recruited young men who went overseas to plant rice.

Coincidentally, the person in charge of the recruitment was Wang Hong, the person Chai Lin had recruited from Qingzhou.

Wang Hong's eyes are so poisonous, he can tell at a glance that these three people are not simple, a woman, a monk, and a fierce general.

Shi Bao invited Wang Hong aside alone and took out a large piece of silver and said, "Brother, we are going to Cangzhou, the sooner the better, when will we have a boat?"

Wang Hong shook his head: "There is no boat to Cangzhou at any time, only the boat to Yangma Island. The three of you are going to join General Chai, right?"

"It's business, we are going to join General Chai. Where is Yangma Island?"

"There is a boat to Cangzhou from Yangma Island. My brother once asked me to pay attention to the Great Monk Deng Yuanjue and Brother Shi Bao. I don't know but these two."

Shi Bao was very touched, he never thought that there were still people thinking about it at this time.

"I am Shi Bao, and the great monk is Deng Yuanjue."

"It's not too late, it's still very dangerous here. Let's start as soon as possible."

The three of them boarded the centipede boat with the young man. The space in the centipede boat was small and the temperature was unpleasant. Princess Jinzhi could suffer.

But it will be fine once you get to the open sea, there are huge lucky boats.

Deng Yuanjue said, "Isn't this Ruan Xiaoqi's boat?"

Come up and see, it really is.

Sure enough, Ruan Xiaoqi greeted him from above: "Grand Monk, General Shi Bao, please."

As for Princess Jinzhi, she didn't mention it. After all, there were men on the huge ship, so it was inconvenient to have a woman.

Deng Yuanjue was a little embarrassed and said, "I didn't expect to meet in this situation."

"There is no threshold that cannot be passed. Let's go to Cangzhou. He is still the general who leads the troops."

Ruan Xiaoqi is very good at doing things, and arranged Princess Jinzhi in a room alone, and Shi Bao and Deng Yuanjue in a room.As for the other people, they were not treated so well, they were all laid on the second deck.

The eyes of these two people were opened. This ship is not ordinary big, with three floors of space.There are even pigs and sheep raised.

Deng Yuanjue said: "You really know how to enjoy it. You have pigs and sheep, and you can eat as much as you want."

Ruan Xiaoqi said: "You think it's a blessing. Sometimes you live on the boat for a month. If you eat too much fish and shrimp, your joints will hurt, and pigs and sheep will improve occasionally. Let's go, I will take you to the top of the boat to see Look."

On the top of the stern building, there is a roof of more than 100 square meters. In addition to the large chimney and mast, there are also hundreds of large flower pots with fresh vegetables.There are more than a hundred chickens in the chicken coop on the wooden shelf next to it.

"You guys are so leisurely these days, you even raise chickens." Deng Yuanjue said in admiration.

"When the Huotou Army cooks, it is inevitable that there will be a lot of food. The Cangzhou Army advocates saving, and whenever there is surplus, it will be used to feed chickens and pigs. This saves food and improves the taste. Some soldiers are homesick, or have something to do. When it’s over, I’ll come here to feed the chickens and look at the vegetables, and I’ll feel much better soon.”

As Ruan Xiaoqi said, Princess Jinzhi actually likes to feed the chickens, playing with the hens with food.

A princess is a princess, Ruan Xiaoqi had to be careful, and specially dispatched four sailors to protect Princess Jinzhi's safety.

Shi Bao saw the cannons on the ship's side, and any one of them would cost fifteen or six hundred catties.

If there were some of these things in Fang La's army, they wouldn't be defeated.

"General Ruan, how far can this artillery hit?" Shi Bao asked.

"It depends on what kind of ammunition to shoot. If it is hollow, it can hit five or six miles. If it is solid, it can hit four miles. By the way, it is strictly forbidden to carry and use fire sources on the ship. You two should also hand them over. I will give it to you when you get off the ship."

It was not easy for the two of them to make an exception, so they handed over the fire source to Ruan Xiaoqi.

Because this is a battleship, there are ammunition next to the gun positions, and once it comes into contact with a fire source, it will cause particularly big trouble.

The fuchuan whistle made a loud sound, woo woo, woo woo.

Deng Yuanjue and Shi Bao seemed to be Grandma Liu who had entered the Grand View Garden. They didn't know what it was.

The huge warship ran without rowing or sailing, and only the big chimney was emitting white smoke.

Shi Bao asked, "General Ruan, does this ship use manpower? What is it used to propel it?"

"When the water is boiling, the force of the boiling water to push the lid open is the same as that. There is a big pot inside. When the water is boiled, the lid of the pot is moved a little instead of manual oars."

In fact, Ruan Xiaoqi didn't understand either, but the principle was right.

Shi Bao sounded like a fairy tale, and many things about the Cangzhou Army subverted his cognition.

The big ship headed east all the way, sailing during the day and resting at night, and arrived at Yangma Island in two days.

There is a magnificent island in front of you, and there are many warehouses and factories in the port.Not far away are green rice fields and neat villages, and tall waterwheels are erected in the river. Compared with the smoky Jiangnan, this place can be said to be a paradise.

"This, this, where is this?" Shi Bao asked.

"This is the Yangmadao County of the Cangzhou Army. There are about 6 people. They mainly cultivate hundreds of thousands of acres of paddy fields and dry land and dozens of workshops. The east is a place for grazing horses, and tens of thousands of horses are raised. "

Deng Yuanjue sighed greatly, Fang La is still small in size, if such a large island is discovered in advance, and hundreds of thousands of acres of rice are planted, there is no shortage of food.

Just in time for the delivery of fish, dozens of fishing boats from the Tamna people came to deliver the fish.

There are several fish workshops, most of which are used to process fish meal after baking.

Originally, the people in Tamna had no food to eat and no clothes to cover their bodies, but now they are more than ten times better than before.Yangma Island is extremely rich in fishery resources. In order to protect the fishery resources here, Yangma Island County does not allow any foreign commercial fishing companies to fish offshore. Only the native fishermen of Yangma Island, the Tamna people, can fish.

Shi Bao was very curious. There are hundreds of thousands of acres of rice fields for tens of miles, and you can't see the end at a glance.

The rice has grown well, and there is not much work, mainly weeding and feeding fish.There are relatively more activities in dry land, and weeding is more laborious.

"How to supervise the work, aren't you afraid that these strong men will be lazy?"
