Upon hearing this, Qi Yu immediately straightened his expression and asked: "Master Yu, have you obtained some military intelligence?"
"My lord, you are really good at predicting things. You can guess right!" Yu Hai nodded and said: "Just now, news about the war suddenly came, and unfortunately, you went out to catch grasshoppers.
Went. So I will take it for you."
"Tell me, what is the military situation?"
"Um……"
Next, Yu Hai briefly summarized the military information he had obtained.
According to intelligence, the special gift Qi Yu had given out before had indeed had a very obvious stimulating effect.
It can be called a fuse-level ignition!
The development of things is roughly like this.
After receiving the gift, the King of Goryeo immediately followed the instructions in Qi Yu's letter and sent an envoy to deliver the gift to Fusang.
Moreover, he explicitly requested that this gift must be personally delivered to the hands of Emperor Meisho. If he could not do it, he should be beheaded!
As a result, the envoy really died a violent death.
However, he did not die at the hands of the King of Korea, but was chopped into pieces by the angry Emperor Myōsho.
At the end, they were fed to wild dogs.
Regarding this, the King of Koryo could not help but feel angry instead of angry.
Qi Shaobao was indeed a real person. He once said firmly in his letter: This thing can definitely humiliate the mysterious Emperor Meisheng.
Unexpectedly, it actually happened.
Your Majesty, I am honest!
The King of Korea was almost ecstatic that he had succeeded in his revenge. He hurriedly held a banquet for his ministers, eager to tell them how he had regained his position.
However, his complacency did not last long, and was soon replaced by a sudden nervousness.
According to military intelligence, Emperor Meisho was extremely angry and immediately sent Fuso's most powerful general, Toyoda Hideyoshi, to personally take command and lead the naval sword to target Goryeo.
After the King of Goryeo was panicked for a while, he slowly came to his senses and dispatched his troops and generals, and ordered Li Sunjun, the number one general in the country, to meet the enemy.
So, a war broke out.
Both of them will hunt on the eastern coast of Goryeo. Fusang will attack and Goryeo will defend. The battle is very impressive.
However, what I didn't expect was that in the ensuing battle, the "Turtle Ship" under Li Shunjun shined and defeated the Fuso battleship with an unequal performance advantage. It defeated Toyota Hideyoshi and nearly wiped out the entire army.
.
One battle will determine the outcome.
The result is Gao Lisheng!
The turtle ship that made its debut became famous in one battle and became a legendary and unique navy.
The above is the reason why Yu Hai told the story of the turtle.
Through this battle, Qi Yu could basically conclude that the so-called Emperor Meisho was the original Fuso woman.
Otherwise, there would not have been such a violent reaction.
"Turtle ship..." Qi Yu murmured to himself, seemingly deep in thought.
Yu Hai chuckled and said, "Speaking of this ship, it has something to do with your Qi family."
Nonsense, right?
How come it has anything to do with our family?
Seeing that Qi Yu didn't seem to believe it, Yu Hai quickly explained: "Mr. Qi may not know that the original intention of the King of Korea was not to build this small turtle ship that could only defend but not attack, but to imitate our Qiongzhou's current one.
Battleship. However, due to some accidental collision, it led to the current accident. And the initiator of all this is the noble Miss Qi."
"Huh? Why does it involve our Xiaotong again?" Qi Dalang became more and more confused as he listened.
"Don't be impatient, sir. Please listen to me. About last year, a man named Jin Liufu suddenly came to Qiongzhou and publicly asked for the purchase of the scarce timber ironwood. Although Yu and I are not good at military affairs, I also know this.
Wood is the first choice for building warships. With it as the keel, the size of the ship body can be developed in a large direction. At that time, I stopped him out of caution." Yu Hai mentioned the old story again.
"You are right. This kind of scarce resource would rather die in your hands than add glory to them!" Qi Yu first expressed his approval, and then said: "But, what does this have to do with Xiaotong?"
"After the Jin Liufu failed to purchase in Qiongzhou, he took a boat directly to Australia, intending to buy the local specialty 'Ecalyptus almond'. As a result, he really got his wish. However, all his wood
The eldest lady deliberately tampered with it and cut it into short pieces of wood."
"Then what?"
"Then, Jin Liufu returned to Goryeo with the wood. Later, because the wood was too short to be used to build large ships, he could only try to build small boats. Not to mention, that Li Shunjun was really smart
A smart top talent, he actually made the best use of everything and used these short pieces of wood as raw materials to develop a small and practical turtle ship."
oh……
So that’s what happened!
It was indeed an accidental collision.
In addition to the above, Yu Hai also introduced the relevant characteristics of turtle ships.
According to him, the length of this ship is less than ten feet, and its width is only more than half a foot. It is definitely the kind of small and miniature warship.
However, unlike traditional small ships, its design is very extraordinary.
The details are as follows:
There is a huge sharp anchor at the stern of the ship. It can not only ram through the bottom of the opponent's ship, but also burn the foundation of the enemy ship with sulfurous fire. In addition to this anchor, it is also equipped with a small cannon.
, for inter-process attacks.
On both sides of the ship, there are also several shooting ports for crossbows, which can be used to shoot enemies at close range. Below the shooting ports, there are human-driven paddles to adjust the course and move at any time.
Dao et al.
However, the most creative thing is the shrouded deck directly above the hull. It is slightly raised in the middle and covers the entire hull in a dome shape, providing protection for the people below. From a distance, it looks like
The turtle's shell gave it the name turtle ship.
"Although this ship is strong, its shortcomings are also quite obvious." Qi Yu immediately commented after listening to the above report.
Yu Hai couldn't help but ask: "What are the shortcomings?"
Qi Yu analyzed: "First of all, the hull of this ship is too short, so it does not have the ability to sail far, and can only be used as a defensive counterattack in the offshore area. Simply put, its practical value is not very high."
"Secondly, this ship is rowed manually, and the sails hung take second place. Therefore, its power is seriously insufficient. Once it encounters an urgent battle involving speed, it can only stare. Generally speaking, this kind of ship
It's too useless to be useful."
Although Yu Hai was not good at military affairs, he could still understand the reasoning behind it.
After pondering for a while, he also judged: "Looking at it from this point of view, this ship is really worthless."
"Um……"
After talking about the turtle ship, Qi Yu immediately fell into deep thought.
you say!
Is there any way to enlighten Emperor Meisho who is at his wits' end?
Might as well let her launch a retaliatory counterattack!
It's interesting to bite each other. If we just give up the fight, wouldn't it be too advantageous for them?
Qi Yu chewed a mouthful of grasshopper, took a sip of wine, and began to think about it.
