Chapter 226 Battleship takes shape

Before the war in Jingchu, Sun Yu privately submitted a secret letter, hoping that Li Yu could say hello and let the officials along the way give some convenience to his subordinates to accept refugees. Because it was a private operation, it was not allowed to go to the court, and most of the ministers in the court did not know that it was the King of Han who came out to send letters to the officials along the way.

"Go and find the memorial quickly." Li Yu sat down and waited for the meal. He couldn't remember the specific content of the memorial, so he had to check it out and make arrangements. Moreover, even the people in Jingchu had to make a decision. The people under his rule should be responsible for it.

An Jinhai hurried out. As soon as he left the house, a sharp-eyed eunuch brought a cup of tea and took out two buns from his arms, which were still hot. After An Jinhai took it, he ate it and filled his stomach while walking. He hadn't eaten for several hours.

"Immigrate tens of thousands of people and explore the Daliuqiu Island. Sure enough, this matter is easy to deal with." Li Yu looked over and over again and again. As long as he sent these victims to Jianzhou, he would not only lose a hot potato, but also develop an island. If it is developed well, it really doesn't work. Being an island owner is also a good choice. I heard that Daliuqiu Island is as big as several states, so it should be easier than his own national lord, after all, there is no threat from the Song Dynasty.

"Lao An, eight hundred miles are urgent, and sent to Zhenhai Marquis." Li Yu wrote an order and stamped a big seal. Originally, this matter should have been discussed with Yan Xu, but he was not sure what he knew about it, so he must have nothing to say. Soldiers are very fast, so you can save some money and food as soon as possible. In this way, you don't have to ask Jianzhou to collect taxes in advance, and do the thing that goes against your word.

"Eunuch An, where is this job?" After dinner, Eunuch Gao was strolling outside. After all, he had been out for so long, and he still wanted to hide in front of An Jinhai to show his face.

"Jianzhou, Zhenhaihou..."

"Eunuch An, I'll go, I'll go!" Before An Jinhai finished speaking, Eunuch Gao was anxious to express his opinion that no matter how tired he was on the road, he would be willing to go to Jianzhou's work.

"Take it seriously? Eight hundred miles in expedited, up to three days, you have to go to Zhenhai Hou. Then you have to return in expedited 800 miles, no mistakes!" An Jinhai smiled and looked at Eunuch Gao. He had never seen this eunuch who could run eight hundred miles in expedited 800 miles.

"Eunuch An, please spare me. You have to arrange this matter yourself." Eunuch Gao was shocked. If he took on this life, he would either die on the road or waste time, he would not be able to escape death.

"Then you won't let go? Don't think about good things." An Jinhai shook his head. This kid was addicted to running towards Jianzhou.

Under the city walls of Quanzhou, a group of officials of all sizes stood side by side. Before, they received news that Sun Yu led a large group of cavalry and arrived today and were specially welcomed here.

The first ones were Cheng Zhenbei, Ye Heng and Song Wumian. As for Chen He, he would bring people to fish at the sea and would not come back for a while.

At the end of the official road, countless cavalry were moving slowly. Generally, the brigade of cavalry would not march quickly during non-emergency moments, which was too exhausting and could not stand the dust in the sky.

"I have met the Marquis!"

"The last general has met the Marquis!"

"I have met the Marquis!"

The voices were scattered and their respective titles were different. Song Wumian is now just a navy captain and cannot call himself the last general.

"All up, Lao Cheng, set up the cavalry battalion, leave fifty people in the personal guard camp, and dismount and follow me into the city." It is unrealistic for so many cavalry to enter the city, and it is difficult to find a place to settle down.

Gao Huichang and Han Zaiwu followed Cheng Zhenbei to the military camp to settle down. Sun Yu took the personal guard camp and followed Ye Heng and others.

People first go to the governor's office.

"The Marquis, the Marquis' Mansion has started to be repaired. Under normal circumstances, it will be almost the same in two months." The former royal palace courtyard is now considered the property of Quanzhou Prefecture. It must be renovated for Sun Yu as the Marquis' Mansion, and the places that are beyond the rules on the surface must also be slightly changed.

"Just be simpler, you can't waste the people and money. The rules I have under my control cannot show off and work, you can only spend money to hire people." Sun Yu directly copied the Jianzhou model to the two states of Zhangquan. Therefore, every project of the government has to be taken out. If you can't take it out, you can't do anything.

"It can't be too simple. You have to make the Marquis live more comfortable and not spend much money." Ye Heng wouldn't really make it simple. The Marquis's military personnel do not pay attention to these normal things, and they can also live in their families in the future. If these noble people are uncomfortable living and blowing in the Marquis' ears every few days, who can stand it? Besides, the main body of the house is intact, just spend some time cleaning.

"Well, I will live in the inn these days." Sun Yu nodded. After all, I have a status here, so I can't be too shabby.

"Mr. Marquis, you might as well live in the villa of Beizhi Mansion. This inn is a little smaller after all." Song Wumian advised that it is not a legitimate reason to live in an inn on his own territory. After all, the inn is arranged for officials from other places to live.

"It's okay, it's good, I like it." Sun Yu had another idea. Although the conditions for living in the Song family courtyard were better, it was not his own. No matter how bad the inn was, it was also an official industry. The official industry in Quanzhou was just like his own.

Sun Yu and his party settled in the inn and immediately became crowded. The entire inn, but two small courtyards and a small building, had more than fifty people coming in and filled them directly.

"Mr. Marquis, we have arranged a banquet at Wanghailou to welcome him." The best restaurant in Quanzhou is Wanghailou of his Song family. The Marquis has been there and arranged it there.

"Go tonight, let the inn simply get some food, and go to the dock in the afternoon." Sun Yu had no intention of eating, and he was thinking about warships, which was the capital of the navy to travel all over the world.

In the dock, three huge warships were undergoing final painting. When the tung oil was completely dry, it would be able to enter the water.

"How long will it take?" Sun Yu was very satisfied. This was the battleship he had expected.

"Seven days, seven days later, you can go into the water." Song Wumian knew this. Once the warship was launched, his naval captain would be considered worthy of his name. In fact, this warship was still a long way from forming combat power, but it was finally able to go into the sea.

"How was the Navy Base built?" The development of Daliuqiu Island never stopped because of the shortage of manpower and supplies, the progress has been unfast.

"Now there are more than 1,300 houses on the island, and 5,000 stones of grain are stored. Because there are few people, they are all gathered on the northern coastal plains and have not developed to the south." Song Wumian estimated the progress. When Chen He came back last time, he said there were more than 1,100 rooms, and now it should be more.

"This thing is called a telescope. You and Chen He each have one pair." Sun Yu now only has two telescopes in hand, all in boxes, and handed them to Song Wumian. Now, it is still peaceful around the land. There will be more than a dozen of them in the clever work room. First, it will be used by the navy.

"How to use this thing?" Song Wumian picked it up and looked around. With his knowledge, he had no clue at all.

"Like this, put it on your eyes, pull the lens barrel, you can see a very far away..." Sun Yu looked at

The purpose of the telescope is generally mentioned. This thing is quite useful in naval battles and can predict the enemy's initiative.

"It's a magical artifact, Marquis, where did you get it?" Song Wumian saw clearly the father and son on the small fishing boat in the distance. They had just caught a net, and the harvest was pretty good, and they laughed happily.

"You can't tell the truth about finding a skilled craftsman to polish it. You can't tell me the truth about it. If you can use it, do you want to wait for the ship, should we go to South China Ocean first or to Japan first?" Sun Yu was a little confused. If he wanted to attack the South China Yue, his trade route would definitely be cut off. However, Japan was short of supplies, and the stone could not be mined in one or two days. Nanyang was rich in supplies, especially grain and sulfur, which were the most scarce things for Sun Yu at present.

"Of course, it's just a small island in Japan. How can it be compared with the interests of the South Ocean? Besides, if we don't go to the South Ocean, the interests in it were all divided by the South Han and the Wu Dynasty." Song Wumian immediately expressed his position. The interests of the South Yang were much greater, and the competition was fierce. Whether it was the South Han or the Wu Dynasty, the strength at sea was much greater than that of the South Vietnam.

"It's reasonable." Sun Yu nodded, but he always felt that Song Wumian's reaction just now was a bit too much. Maybe it was for the benefit of the family. After all, he hasn't been to the sea trade for a long time, and the warehouse only goes out but doesn't come in. As the helmsman of the big family, I must be anxious.

"Marty, when will the cannons be in place?" Song Wumian didn't dare to ask outside. Now, there were only Sun Yu and the evil dog on the deck. They thought about it and asked. If there were no such weapon as cannons, the warships were larger, and they would not have much chance of winning against the Wu Chao Navy. Many ants would bite the elephant to death.

"I don't know, I'll know if I go to the Craftsman Camp tomorrow." Now the Craftsman Camp in Quanzhou is exactly the same as the Jianzhou area, and it is very confidential. Song Wumian can't even find out any news. The Craftsman Camp is hosted by Master He and Master Liang. I guess it's not a problem to cast artillery. As for how many doors are cast, it's not clear.

"Marty, Chen He is back with the fleet." Song Wumian saw several white sails from the sea and sky through the telescope. They were the three-stage soft sails that had just been put into use. They must be Chen He who went out to sea to fish. Of course, when he went there, he brought some supplies to Daliuqiu Island.

"Then let's wait here to get some seafood and let the chefs in Wanghailou clean up and let's have a few drinks." Fresh seafood, which is not available at a time, is usually pickled, and the taste is much worse. However, Chen He took dozens of sea boats to sea, and this harvest is definitely indispensable.

The sea boats were docking at the dock one after another. The fish pickled workshop in the city had already received news and arranged various cars of all sizes to wait here. Chen He jumped out of the boat with a steadily pace, without any ease of his past. He was covered in dirt and his face was dark, directing people to maintain order on the dock.

"Deputy Commander Chen, pick up more than ten good goods and deliver them to Wanghai Tower." Song Wumian walked to near Chen He and shouted.

"Secretary Song, are planning to use power for personal gain? If you want to buy it, the price must be made clear." Chen He said angrily. You want fish on Hailou, but you don't pick it yourself, so you actually asked me to come. I am the deputy lieutenant, not your personal guard entourage.

"Song doesn't have the courage, and there is no need for this. It's the Marquis, who wants to eat some seafood." Song Wumian pointed behind him, and Sun Yu felt that the taste was too great and did not approach.

"Okay, I will go and choose it myself and send it to Wanghailou immediately." Chen He's dissatisfaction disappeared in an instant. His efforts were all in the eyes of the Marquis. The hardships of these days were not in vain.
