Chapter 96 The hero is young
Yangzhou City, Wohufang General.∈♀
"Liao Shibo is here! We welcome you and welcome you!"
Liao Yingzhong was wearing a half-old double-breasted robe, sitting in the main hall talking to Guo Fuer. Seeing Chen Dexing come out, he looked at it carefully and nodded with a smile: "It's really a heroic young man, handsome! Not bad! Not bad!"
Chen Dexing felt a little nervous, and this sounded like a member of the media. Looking at Guo Ruren, he didn't look ecstatic. It seemed that he was thinking too much.
Chen Dexing turned his mind and bowed and bowed: "Bo Liao was joking."
"I heard that Qingzhi, you have captured seven or eight thousand more Northern Han troops back, and now they are all placed in the abandoned camp of the Mongols outside the city? This is another great achievement!"
Liao Yingzhong took the teacup and drank it, and said, "Including the previous beheadings of more than 600 levels, and this time he killed the Mongolian Marshal Ye Liu Gan, and offered a stone launcher to shake the sky. Qingzhi, your contribution has been ranked among the top since I crossed south, that is, Yue Wumu, Meng Zhongxiang, and even Yu Qiaoyin was inferior to you."
This is not a good thing! Yue Fei died tragically in Fengboting, Yu Jie was forced to death by the current official family. Meng Gong was smart and requested to retire in time, and died soon after retirement. I don’t know if there is any inside story?
Chen Dexing sat down and said, "How dare I compare to Yue Wumu, Meng Zhongxiang and Yu Qiaoyin? They are both a commander of the same party, and the nephew is just a martial artist. These minor contributions are wisely commanded by the Privy Councilor. The soldiers below use their lives, so the nephew dare not live there."
Liao Yingzhong shook his head and said, "It's fine to say this in front of others, but there is no need to say it in front of me. I am a senator of the Fusi Department. How could I not know about Jia Xianggong's strategy? If I had not made achievements, the battle of Yangzhou would have to be fought for at least another month, and it would be impossible to kill Ye Liu Gan. I beheaded more than 2,300 real captives, and nearly 10,000 Han troops were captured alive... Such a great victory is unprecedented since Duanping! It is a matter of time to be the commander of a virtuous nephew."
Chen Dexing smiled and said, "Uncle Liao is too good, but his nephew is just a martial artist and does not know much about literature. How can he guard the emperor's side? He can be the commander of the navy and drive 180 large ships and sweep the coast of the northern land, so that the northern barbarians cannot go south with all their might." He waved to Wang Rong'er, who was serving in the house, "Rong'er, go and have someone come over the model of the two warships."
Liao Yingzhong was stunned, and then said in silence: "Is it that third-layer oar-mounted battleship?"
Chen Dexing smiled and said, "That's right, my nephew has created several models these days and tried the sail in the stream."
Liao Yingzhong nodded and smiled, "Then bring these two models to Fushi to the banquet. By the way... what secret recipe does the medicine used for the Sky-Shocking Thunder in your army have?"
Chen Dexing was ready, so he took out an envelope and handed it to Liao Yingzhong with both hands: "Liao Shibo, the secret recipe for gunpowder used by Zhentian Lei is here."
Liao Yingzhong quickly opened the envelope, took out the letter paper inside, and was stunned: "How is it so simple?"
There is only a short line of words on the secret recipe: 75% saltpeter, 15% sulfur, and 15% charcoal. It is much simpler than the gunpowder formula in "The General Law of Wu Jing"! Of course, Chen Dexing did not hand over the secret of making granular gunpowder.
Chen Dexing said: "It's so simple. Liao Shibo turned around and sent someone to verify it and you will know."
Liao Ying carefully stuffed the letter back to the envelope: "Qingzhi nephew, this is another great achievement!"
"This is presented by Ren Yijiang, a student of martial arts, my nephew."
Liao Yingzhong nodded: "Well, he is indispensable."
Chen Dexing bowed slightly: "I thank you for the support of Ren Yijiang for the support of Liao Shibo."
Liao Yingzhong waved his hand: "It's not a question of supporting me. You can get an official with a military and national weapon. This is an example. By the way, it's not too early. My nephew, please follow me to the Fushi Office for a banquet."
This time the banquet was obviously extraordinary. Liao Yingzhong not only came to invite him personally, but also brought a car to pick him up. Chen Dexing naturally did not dare to refuse, so he took the bus with Liao Yingzhong for a few polite words. As for the matter in the military camp, he could only send someone to say hello and escort him one day before talking.
Chen Dexing has been here many times in Yangzhou Fushi. However, every time he comes, he sees a stern and murderous atmosphere. Only this time does not have the atmosphere of facing a great enemy. There are many beautiful girls in gorgeous clothes walking through the pavilion, like fairies. More than concubines, there are various piles of wealth and utensils, which should be prepared to reward the three armies.
This time, the place where Jia Sidao held a banquet was the flower hall in the inner house of Fushi. Jia Sidao and a middle-aged man with a white face and no-beard-faced and honest appearance in casual clothes sat peacefully on two brocade couches, surrounded by beautiful girls like flowers. Seeing Chen Dexing, Liao Yingzhong, and four servants carrying models of ships came in. Jia Sidao just pointed to Chen Dexing and said to the middle-aged man around him: "Chengxuan, this is Chen Dexing, but a young hero, handsome?"
What does this mean? Why do you sound like a mediator Bao so much? Chen Dexing glanced at the middle-aged man and always felt a little strange.
"Sir Chen Dexing pays homage to you." Chen Dexing bowed and then stood respectfully in the flower hall.
The middle-aged man stared at Chen Dexing, as if he was looking at some animal - uh, this metaphor may be inappropriate, but Chen Dexing did feel this way.
"This is Dong Songchen, the envoy of the Baokang Army." Jia Sidao pointed to the middle-aged man beside him and said lightly.
Chen Dexing was slightly surprised. This turned out to be the famous Dong Yanluo and Dong Songchen in Lin'an!
"The official is here to pay homage to Dong Chengxuan." Chen Dexing did not dare to neglect the eunuch and quickly saluted.
"I'm a good guy..." Dong Songchen clapped his hands, turned his head to Jia Sidao and said, "Da Shen, the fruit here is good, and I'm happy after seeing it."
What does it mean? Chen Dexing was stunned again. Does this eunuch have a daughter to marry him?
Jia Sidao just smiled and pointed to an empty brocade couch: "Sit."
Although this tone was plain, it had an irresistible power. Chen Dexing bowed again before sat down with a big golden sword. Jia Sidao asked, "Are those two ships?"
Chen Dexing said: "It's indeed a ship. This is the mold of a three-layer pulp warship. One of them is used for navigation. The bottom of the ship is pointed and it is equipped with a sail."
"Pick it up and let me see." Jia Sidao took the glasses from a concubine and looked carefully, "How come this sail is from a triangle?"
"This is a spinnaker. A boat with a spinnaker can travel against the wind. This is a sail used by the big cannibals."
"Oh." Jia Sidao just nodded, staring at the bows of the two models of the pulp ships that seemed to be like pig's mouths. "Is this a corner collision?"
"That is, this ship can hit the enemy ship at a high speed, damage the bottom of the enemy ship, and make it sink in and out of water."
Jia Sidao nodded and said, "This is a solution... With this collision, there are more than just bows and crossbows to rely on in the water battle."
He was not interested in the design of multi-layer pulp seats. After all, the Southern Song navy had already equipped wing wheels at this time. Theoretically, the driving force provided by the wing wheels was greater than that of the pulp, but this wooden mechanical structure was easily worn and could not play its due role after wear. Therefore, the Southern Song navy had generally adopted the design of using pulp seats together, and by the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the design of wing wheels basically disappeared in China.
