Chapter 196 The giant ship takes shape
"Get up, I have said a long time ago that no one spends money to redeem you, so I will use it for my own purposes and can't waste it. In the future, the seventh regiment will be handed over to you, but I have to take it away. Don't let my trust down." Sun Yu stood up and helped him up. Chen Qisi's brave battles, and the seventh regiment should not be bad in the future. Sun Yu also made great decisions to promote a captive to the chief officer of the first regiment.
Chen Qisi stood up and looked at Cheng Zhenbei who was smiling beside him. He was filled with emotion. He had once faced with life and death, but he would be considered a chariot from now on.
"Captain Gan!" Sun Yu said to Gan Yue, the captain of the Fifth Regiment.
"I am in a humble position!" Gan Yue bowed his hand to receive the order.
"You continue to advance west with Chen Qisi to pacify the entire Zhangzhou area. Chen Qisi is stationed in Zhangpu County. You are stationed in the prefecture and governing Xilin. Be sure to ensure the local peace." From today on, Sun Yu has been in the three states, mainly threatening from the Nanhan in the west and Nanyue in the east. The Fifth Regiment and the Seventh Regiment are stationed in the west, and the Third Regiment and the Sixth Regiment are stationed in the east. As for the most elite regiment, the Second Regiment and the Fourth Regiment, all stay in the center to ensure the strong and weak branches. In the future, the city defense must be rotated to prevent the large ones.
"As for the order!" Gan Yue felt that this was good. The prefecture of Zhangzhou was still prosperous. Chen Hongjin's nest was stronger than Zhangpu County. He defected earlier and would eventually have to take advantage.
Finally, the first regiment in Cheng Zhenbei was stationed in Quanzhou and was responsible for city defense. Chen Qiba led the second regiment, Jianpu, and Bai Yong led the fourth regiment to Dehua County. As for the governor of Zhangzhou, Sun Yu planned to be the former magistrate of Youxi County Cui Lun. In theory, his qualifications were not enough, so he could be placed in Sima's position for excessive use. Sun Yu does not have much requirements for the civil service team at present, as long as he can implement his own policies. Cui Lun's previous performance is quite acceptable. The key is that Sun Yu can trust him.
Sun Yu directly took the cavalry battalion and the personal barracks to take a step first, go back to Quanzhou first, and then head north to Jianpu. Now it is only ten days before New Year's Eve, so I have to go back as soon as possible. Ju Yao will give birth in two months.
Quanzhou Port is still prosperous in winter. Although the fleet has not yet come out, the business it should do will not be delayed. Quanzhou Prefecture, Sun Yu and Sima Yeheng are talking about next year's events, especially imitating Jianzhou, implementing step-by-step tax prices and abolishing the labor service system.
"Sir, this matter is probably a bit difficult." Ye Heng frowned. Most of these lands are gathered in the hands of large families. If this system is implemented, all large families will inevitably oppose it, which is not conducive to rule.
"No matter how hard or difficult it is, we must do it. Otherwise, the world will be in the same place, just the head of the Li family or the head of the Zhao family. If this matter is done, we will change the model so that ordinary people can live more dignified." Of course, there are obstacles to this matter, but not much. After all, the largest gentry here is the four major families, and they have been incorporated by themselves, and the rest are just small-scale and unsuccessful.
"What if someone rebelled?" Although Sun Yu said high-spiritedly, this is an ideal after all, and it is still different from reality. If he does it strictly and someone rises up below, will he push himself out and cut him down in order to calm the public anger? This kind of thing was common in the past.
"You can do things with peace of mind, and you don't need to worry about it. As long as you do it according to the official's orders, you will be in charge of all the consequences. Now there are garrisons in each city. Once this happens, ask for help immediately, and the army will arrive." Sun Yu is not afraid of anyone making a fuss. After all, the mines are short of staff. After several battles, the Jianzhou Army lacks weapons and armor. There is also the fleet, and it is necessary to cast artillery, and no amount of iron is enough.
"I know
.”When Ye Heng got this, he calmed down and let it go. He didn’t have to push the tank by himself. Now that the Jianzhou Army is here, his power is rising, and I guess there are not many who dare to be angry.
When Sun Yu left the yamen, he met Song Wumian who was guarding the door. He felt a little guilty. He paid money and worked hard, but he even got Chen He to partner with him. This matter was a bit difficult to talk about.
"Sir, the main body of the warship in the dock has been formed. If you have time, you might as well take a trip with Beizhi." This warship was basically all built according to Sun Yu's drawings. It took more than three months. The main body of the first warship had just been completed and it was still early to go into the water, but you can still see it.
"Cheng, Captain Song, there is something that I am in a difficult position." Sun Yu nodded. He had just thought about the warship in his mind, but he had never really seen it. It would be better to go and see it.
"Your Madam, it's okay to say it. Do your best to share your worries." Song Wumian was stunned. You are completely determined in these three states. You are all defeated by yourself. It is better than the king. How can you make things difficult for you?
"This, a few days ago, the surrender of Chen Hongjin, the Qingyuan Army commander, was conditional. In order to reduce casualties and retain his vitality as much as possible, I had no choice but to agree to him." If I take the blame alone, it will inevitably affect my image. Chen Hongjin has to take more of it. After all, his image in the three major families is not good, and I will not worry about having too much debt.
"Sir, can't Chen He come to the navy? But I, the navy captain, have you decided long ago?" Song Wumian was anxious when he heard this. Could it be that his lieutenant exchanged with the Chen father and son, how should he handle himself?
"You are the navy captain appointed by this official, so naturally there is no change. But Chen He wants to be the deputy lieutenant of the navy. In the future, you will have to deal with him." Sun Yu hurriedly explained that he is not a person who breaks his promise. After all, he has taken so many benefits from three major families. The matter of destroying bridges across the river will be stung to the backbone. If he really does this, if it spreads out in the future, who dares to surrender to him?
"Does Chen He be my deputy? I'm too worried. Chen He is brave and good at fighting, and he can't seek a job." When Song Wumian heard this, he just didn't just take his official position. As for Chen He, he became his immediate boss, and he was the one who was uncomfortable. After all, before, he always regarded himself as the first youngest generation of the four major families, and he didn't even take himself seriously, the eldest son of the Song family.
"It's so good. The other two candidates who join the army will be sent to the recruit battalion for training first. When it's over, I will make arrangements in person." Sun Yu breathed a sigh of relief without the embarrassment he had imagined.
The Song family dock is in Quanzhou Port. In order to build three warships at the same time, the Song family rebuilt the dock again. At this time, three huge warships in the dock were like sea beasts, crawling on the ground.
"Sir, can this taste be eaten?" Song Wumian covered his nose with his cuffs, and the one that was completed on the main body was brushing tung oil. By the way, this tung oil is an extremely short-term strategic resource. The money spent on tung oil by this warship is sky-high. Without this thing, the hull will rot if you can't reach Nanyang.
"It's okay." Sun Yu nodded. The dock tasted a lot, which was expected. The entire hull was quite slender, and this shape could increase the speed. This ship was more than half a meter taller than the merchant ship I saw last time, and the length was also increased a lot. The whole shape was similar to his own drawings. The hull was above the waterline, and there were four small doors on each side, which was the artillery firing port in the future.
"Sir, this ship's displacement is about 5,300 materials. It is the largest ship built by my Song family and even the entire south.
"Song Wumian pointed to the warship in front of him, with a proud look on his face. In order to create such a large warship, the three major families gathered all the masters together and finally discussed the plan. Sun Yu only gave the drawings and shapes. How to do it specifically to ensure the hull's strength is all the craftsmen's guardian skills.
"How big are their ships on the South Vietnamese country?" Sun Yu is currently concerned about trade with Japan, because he remembers that there is a very famous Ishimi Silver Mountain in Japan, and the reserves of the silver mine are very considerable. It should not be discovered yet. If this mine can be taken down, it will be able to continuously obtain silver.
"Overall sea ships in South Vietnam go to Korea or Japan, or trade with the Khitan, mostly about 2,000 yuan." The trade of South Vietnam is generally in the East China Sea or the Yellow Sea, with relatively small winds and waves and short distances, so the requirements for ships are relatively simple. Most of the ships traveling to the South China Sea require about 3,000 yuan, so the fleets of South Vietnam rarely travel south, after all, they cannot beat the other party, and their size is there.
"Where is the navy of the Wu Dynasty?" Sun Yu felt that if the artillery was used in the East China Sea or the Yellow Sea, it would definitely not be concealed. The warships still have to go to the Nanyang side first. As long as you are careful, the news will not be spread to the Central Plains for three to five years.
"Sir, the flagship of the Wu Chao Navy is about 4,000 materials, and the main warship is 3,000 materials. There is also a kind of fast ship, which is only more than 1,000 materials, but it is relatively fast. Once you are targeted, it is difficult to escape." Song Wumian had dealt with the Wu Chao Navy in the sea before. They were the navy on the national flag, and they were the pirates when they fell down. Their fast ship was the most difficult, and it was more than twice as fast as a merchant ship full of goods.
"If there are seven such warships, can they defeat the other party?" The Wu Chao navy is a roadblock in marine trade. When he has no strength, it is inevitable to pay some protection fees, but now his new warship is about to be launched, and he will definitely scatter the trade route.
"It depends on the power of the mysterious weapon of lord." Song Wumian shook his head. He had never seen that thing before, so how could he know the power. The Wu Dynasty's navy was not a decoration, and it was full of catapults and crossbows on it.
"It's almost done. After you get started, you will always be able to see it." Sun Yu nodded. The power of the cannon must be beyond Song Wumian's expectations. Because there is no transportation problem on the warships, Sun Yu must have designed it too much. The longer the range, the better, and the greater the power, the better.
There are five days left for New Year's Eve, and the business is on holiday one after another. Ju Yao picked up her last account book and read this book, she will be done this year. She will have more than a month left before the birth of her child, and I don't know if Sun Yu can come back.
"Oh, little guy, I know you're kicking my mother. Let's pack up all the things and lock them up later. Let's go back to the backyard of the yamen." Ju Yao touched her stomach and said to the maid. She wanted to wait for the account book to finish reading, but the little thing in her stomach was tossing hard, so it would be better to go back first.
The maid quickly brought the mink cloak. This was brought back by Sun Yu before. I don’t know where it got it. It was snow-white and warm. Ju Yao took it with her every day as a treasure. With this, she couldn’t freeze the child in her belly.
"Madam, get in the car." The coachman jumped out of the carriage and brought in a small stool to put it in. Now Juyao's movement is becoming increasingly inconvenient.
