Time flew by, and with a loud "Boom!", the galley battleship shook violently!

"Ah~~!" Another long scream came, Yu Wenjun threw himself into Yunfeng's arms, his face turned pale, and his eyes were closed tightly. Yunfeng spread his arms lightly, hugged Yu Wenjun comfortably, and then

Looking forward, I saw that the sharp point of the bow had pierced the waterline of the incoming ship!

The sound of rattling kept coming, and the sharp cone continued to stab forward with the momentum, and the splinters of wood fell into the river like rain. Jiang Yan shouted: "Back the boat!"

The sailor quickly rowed the big oar backwards, and at the same time, heavy footsteps sounded from the back of the deck, and more than ten Popeye sailors worked together to carry two thick logs and ran towards the bow of the ship.

"Boom!" Two loud noises! The thick wood suddenly hit the fighting ship, and wood chips flew into the air. The galley battleship paused and then quickly rebounded, while the river water rushed in from the gap in the fighting ship, which could only be seen with the naked eye.

With the speed, the stern of the boat rose higher and higher, and in just a moment, it sank to the bottom of the river in the whirlpool stirred up.

Zhang Lingyun and Su Qizhen stared blankly at the bubbly river, speechless. With just one collision, a fighting ship was destroyed! Of course, it was related to the fact that there were no people on board the fighting ship, but even so,

The combat effectiveness is also extremely powerful. What if the bed crossbow is successfully installed again? How terrifying will it be?

Both shook their heads, the two women looked at each other, and looked down to the left and right. There were signs of loosening and cracking in some parts of the hull near the head, but it was nothing serious. A watertight compartment was installed in the cabin, and they sailed back to the dock for repairs.

Just download it.

There was a trace of excitement in Zhang Lingyun's beautiful eyes, and she couldn't help but turn around and said with a smile: "With this battleship, why worry about Qingzhou Han Yong's injustice? I think, Yunlang, you will be able to easily take Han Yong to the sea next time you go to sea to find silver mines.

To be destroyed?"

Just as Yunfeng was about to speak, Yu Wenjun's voice sounded in his arms: "Sister, what are you talking about? Has the ship sunk?"

Yunfeng said calmly: "It has sunk."

"Ah! Why don't you run away?" Yu Wenjun pushed Yunfeng away, "Huh?" Then he was startled, and the fighting ship in front disappeared. The ship under his feet was steady. After another sweep, everyone was hanging on.

Looking at himself with a weird smile!

With a swipe, Yu Wenjun's face turned red. She knew that she was very embarrassed, so she hurriedly ran to Zhang Lingyun. She waved her arms in disbelief: "Sister, the general knows how to bully Wenjun, so you don't care about him!"

Zhang Lingyun said helplessly: "You, can you just stay close to the general?"

"Oh!" Yu Wenjun responded in a low voice, then seemed to have thought of something, raised his head and asked, "Sister, where was that boat just now? Where did it go?"

Zhang Lingyun briefly told what happened, and Yu Wenjun sighed regretfully: "It's a pity that we missed such a spectacular sight. I don't know when it will be next time. It's all the general's fault. He didn't remind Wenjun!" As he said that, he said fiercely.

He glared at Yunfeng: "The warships here are so powerful, but what about the warships in Haimen? Wouldn't they sink as soon as they hit one? General, do you want to replace them with Xie Shang too?"

Yunfeng shook his head and said: "Chiang Gong has limited manpower and can only send dozens of people to Haimen. They are mainly responsible for guiding the excavation and construction of docks and safe havens. As for whether the warships can be modified, it depends on the progress of the construction. Whether they can be modified one by one,

If it really can’t be modified, it can be used as a transport ship and a supply ship. In fact, what I want is not Wang Dun’s ship. It is the Jingzhou Navy. The experienced navy officers and men are far more important than the ships.”

Jiang Yan took over and said: "Yes, a navy officer often needs two to three years of training to be qualified, and it is not just a casual soldier who can serve as a navy soldier. Some people are born with a fear of water.

The ship will faint. But the ship is different. There is plenty of money and no shortage of wood. You can have as much as you want."

Yun Feng sincerely praised: "Thanks to Mr. Jiang's profound knowledge and rich experience, otherwise I don't know when we can start building the navy."

Jiang Yan declined continuously: "Where, where! General, I'm so grateful. I just did things conveniently, but General, your many fantastic ideas are really amazing!"

Yunfeng smiled slightly and asked again: "Mr. Jiang, how much exploration has been done about digging a canal between the Han River and the Western Han River?"

Jiang Yan's expression became solemn, and he muttered: "Last time I received a message from the general, I immediately arranged for the people from the river water conservancy gate to go to Tianwang Mountain in Jinshou County, and travel along Longmen Mountain through the valley to explore Ju County.\

\..\\ Later I discovered that I seemed to have gone astray. I could use the existing river channel along the way to dig to the southwest.

Fifty miles away to the northwest of Yangping Pass, the Han River and the Western Han River can be connected. In this way, although ships need to go around a hundred miles to take the waterway, they can save nearly fifty miles of excavation, and the natural river channel to Yangping Pass is longer.

More than heading to Ju County. General, don't underestimate this fifty-mile project. Excavation in high mountains is much more difficult than in plain areas.

Every time they go, the disciples will draw detailed topographic maps and study diversion and excavation plans. Some natural rivers need to be widened and deepened. Therefore, based on the calculation of the source of the Han River, only a detailed plan of thirty miles has been finalized so far. If we want to

According to my opinion, it will take at least two years for all the surveys to be completed! However, these thirty miles can go either to Yangping Pass or Ju County. The general will decide which direction to take in the future!"

Yunfeng thought for a moment and said: "Since excavation to Yangguanping can save earth and stone, then we can excavate the canal to Yangpingguan. Also, have you ever calculated how much manpower is needed?"

Jiang Yan said calmly: "If everything goes well, it will require about 500,000 to 800,000 men. If the progress is blocked, it will not be surprising if it exceeds one million!"

The three Zhang Lingyun women, including Dou Tao, all took a breath. During construction under such extremely harsh conditions, not even one person could survive! It was obvious that the labor force Jiang Yan was referring to was a one-time labor force.

Yu Wenjun couldn't help but remind him: "General, Wenjun knows that you have plans to use prisoners of war as labor. However, if you force the Xiongnu prisoners of war to dig rivers, it is likely to arouse strong resistance in Guanzhong, and the Qiang and Di tribes,

I’m sure you won’t be so ruthless, Jiehu’s young men should be less than 500,000, where are you going to get so many people?”

Yunfeng said indifferently: "If the Jie clan is not numerous enough, wouldn't there be Xianbei? The three surnames of Xianbei, Murong, Tuobo, and Duan, have millions of people. In the future, canals connecting the south of the Yangtze River will be excavated with Chang'an and Luoyang as the centers.

, we have to rely on them to lend a helping hand." Yunfeng would rather spend money and food to arrest people everywhere than drive the people in the country like Yang Guang.

Everyone secretly sighed for Xianbei. They felt that Xianbei was quite innocent and was put on this person's blacklist for no reason. However, they just sighed and no one raised any objections. The person who died was Yi Di and not one of them. He died.

And he died.

What they were worried about was how to destroy Jie Zhao first and then attack Xianbei? Especially the Tuoba clan of Xianbei occupied the entire Mobei, and Wei Qing was the only one who conquered the grassland in the north. Huo Qubing was able to accomplish all the feats, but that was during the heyday of the Han Dynasty.

The national strength serves as the backing. Although the Tuobo clan is not as good as the Xiongnu back then, Yunfeng's power is also far inferior to that of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!

Dou Tao vaguely reminded: "General, there is no need to rush for success. The project of digging canals is huge and wasteful and time-consuming. Just dig as many people as you can. It's okay to stop work temporarily when there is no one. The war in the north is the top priority in everything!"

"What these old guys fear the most is that Yunfeng is so happy about his success that he gets hot-headed and underestimates the enemy, so he rushes forward and comes back defeated.

Yunfeng saluted and said: "Thank you Mr. Dou for reminding me, I will never play with the lives of the soldiers and the hard-earned money of the people!"

Jiang Yan showed a look of relief, stroking his beard and asked: "Excuse me, General, should we continue to sail upstream, or return to Jiangzhou?"

Yunfeng said without hesitation: "Now that we have seen the power of the galley warship, why not return now? Please dou Gong and Jiang Gong hurry up and hand over to General Qian after they land ashore. I will lead my troops back to Chengdu tomorrow morning."

The two old guys didn't want to stay. They knew that Yun Feng had a lot of troubles. Jiang Yan turned around and shouted: "The whole army is returning!"

There was a wave of flags, and each ship turned its bow in turn and headed back down the river.

Back in Jiangzhou, Dou Tao and Jiang Yan immediately got busy, while Yunfeng and others had nothing to do and wandered around Jiangzhou.

The next day, the whole army marched towards Chengdu, 700 miles away, and arrived in Chengdu on the tenth day of August. Yunfeng left with 5,000 cavalry on the sixth day of September last year. In total, it had been almost a year.

From a distance, Chengdu officials and military and civilian representatives headed by Han Pu, the governor of Yizhou, lined up to greet them at the city gate. When they came closer, Yunfeng and Zhang Lingyun were greeted by Han Pu to the Fiya Hall after some greetings.

Yunfeng smiled slightly and said: "The climate in Chengdu is warm and humid, and there are many mosquitoes. I wonder what Mr. Han's living habits are?" There is no wind and sand in the season, it is not too hot in the summer, and there is no ice in the winter. It is indeed a land of abundance. Speaking of which, I have to

Thank you, General, for your trust." After saying that, he bowed respectfully to Yunfeng.

Yun Feng hurriedly stepped forward to support him: "You don't have to be like this, Mr. Han. Mr. Han is an old man from Liangzhou, and he is self-disciplined. How can I not miss my old feelings?" Yunfeng said this sincerely. Although the civil servants in Liangzhou have a wall.

The suspicion of grassroots, but civil servants

It cannot be compared with military generals. Yunfeng does not require absolute loyalty. He only needs to be able to be used by me and can do things. Moreover, under the current situation, Han Pu will not be so hot-headed that he runs to seek refuge with the court. Even if he is willing, the Chengdu garrison will not

promise.

Han Pu stood up in accordance with the words and said with emotion: "Since the general led his troops to conquer Qinzhou in the winter two years ago, we and the old people in Liangzhou have never seen the general again. The general is away working hard, but we are sitting back and enjoying the results.

Thinking about it, I’m so ashamed! What’s especially rare is that in the past two years, General, you have severely injured Liu Yao and destroyed Pu Hongping.

Li Xiong, who has been victorious in the military and implemented benevolent policies internally, is now threatening to sweep the world. However, his treatment of others is still as pleasant as before, which reminds me of the first time he came to Liangzhou.

The general at that time, hey~~ Six years have passed by, I only hope that this old bone can last another six years to follow the general."
