Chapter 246 Buy a car and a boat to fish

"If you don't have enough relationships, you can make up for it" is a slang phrase. Even if it was placed in the Tang Dynasty more than 1,300 years ago, this sentence also worked.

After finalizing the five million yuan business of the two sides, Zhang Zhongjian and Chen Ying became good friends who could talk about everything. Zhang Zhongjian also led Chen Ying to visit his ship. In fact, Sun Jingchu's information was wrong. Zhang Zhongjian definitely had more than three 2,000-material ships, but a whole fleet of twenty-one ships. Of course, these ships were different in length and size. The small one was five or six meter long and more than one meter wide. The large one was thirty or forty meter long and five or six meter wide.

The biggest one is the "Xingchu", which is thirty-six feet long and three and six feet wide. It has twenty-four wheels, each wheel has eight sets, each wheel is a group of four people, a total of ninety-six ship workers, and can travel thousands of miles a day.

Chen Ying was shocked and sweated coldly as he boarded the Xingchu wheel warship. Chen Ying didn't know whether this ship could travel thousands of miles a day, but the firepower of this warship was definitely fierce.

The entire ship is about five feet high, and the draft is more than one or two feet long. The key is that there are thirty-two eight-ox crossbows on the three decks. The key is that these eight-ox crossbows not only use a relatively labor-saving ratchet winding, but also have a rotating equipment that can adjust the eight-ox crossbow to shoot at 180 degrees, and this turntable can also be lifted and lowered. The eight-ox crossbow with an effective range of more than 800 steps can reach a range of 800 steps, and basically no shooting dead corners are available.

Once such a ship sails above the canal, it will be an invincible ship.

Chen Ying asked very amateurly: "Xia Zhang, which one is more powerful than Yang Su's Five-Tooth Warship?"

"If you want to talk about melee fighting, the Five-Oral Warship is naturally better!" Zhang Zhongjian said proudly: "However, the Five-Oral Warship is too slow, and the Xingchu will definitely not give the Five-Oral Warship a chance to fight in close combat!"

"It's impolite to come but not come!" Chen Ying smiled and said, "Since Zhang Daxia has ordered so many armors and equipment in Chen, Chen also plans to order a few ships to play with!"

Zhang Zhongjian waved his hand and said, "General Chen is really joking. This ship is not a joke. Even a medium-sized ship with two thousand materials costs more than 100,000 guan. The Xingchu cost only 300,000 guan."

Chen Ying secretly smacked his tongue: "So expensive?"

Zhang Zhongjian said: "Of course!"

Chen Ying pointed to the Eight-Nuo Crossbow on the deck and said, "What if these Eight-Nuo Crossbows are not counted? Wouldn't it be cheaper?"

Of course, this does not mean that Chen Ying is stingy and cannot afford the Eight-Nuo Crossbow. Although the Eight-Nuo Crossbow is powerful, its power is far less powerful than the Scorpion Crossbow that has just been successfully developed. Scorpion Crossbow is said to be a crossbow, but it is actually a crossbow cannon. It can not only fire crossbow guns, but also fire stone bullets or incendiary bombs as needed.

In this era where wooden structures are the best weapon for water warfare. Even if the incendiary bomb weighing dozens of kilograms is fired, a wooden warship can ignite. Even if there are only half of the crossbow cannons, it can still be used as less and more, leaving the enemy helpless.

"Of course it will be cheaper. This eight-ox crossbow costs thousands of silos!" Zhang Zhongjian said: "If you don't install these eight-ox crossbows, it's roughly 250,000 silos!"

"Twenty-five thousand guan, then order four ships!" Chen Ying said disapprovingly: "I wonder when Zhang Daxia can deliver the goods?"

Zhang Zhongjian pointed to the other two other twenty-four-car ships next to the Xingchu and said, "Although the ships are fast, they cannot go out to sea. When encountering big waves, they are easy to overturn. I have built three such twenty-four-car ships in total, and three of them have built twenty-two-car ships. Otherwise, these six ships are worth one million chunks?"

Chen Ying then suddenly realized that Zhang Zhongjian had already focused his business on Zizhu Island at this time, and Hanoi's foundation and manpower were gradually evacuating. These inland boats that could not be far away were tricky goods. However, although this kind of warship was expensive, it was not as expensive as square boats, and flat-bottomed boats carried large cargo. Moreover, the cost of transport ships was not as expensive as that of wheels and warships. Like a square boat with a thousand materials, only 20,000 chunks were available.

"Trade!" Chen Ying did not bargain this time, and Chen Ying also knew that the price given by Zhang Zhongjian was not high. Chen Ying continued: "Zhang Daxia wants to run Zizhu Island. I think these eight-niu crossbows should be removed and kept for use by myself, but these three ships need to help me change the name!"

"General Chen naturally has this power." Zhang Zhongjian asked curiously: "I wonder what name General Chen wants to change?"

Chen Ying thought for a while and said, "Then rename the "Xingchu" to "Pingyang" and the Weiwu name to "Princess". As for the "Wansheng" to "Wan'an"!"

"Princess Pingyang Wan'an!", how can you make such a mess with naming?" Li Xiuning blushed and whispered to Chen Ying for making fun of her.

"What's wrong?" Chen Ying smiled, "Then we'll settle down. In the future, we will live in Qinglin. Qinglin is not far from Chang'an, and it's not close. It's great to buy these steamships. If you have nothing to do, sit on the boat and fish, sit on the boat and blow up the night water, bask in the sun, cook a few dishes on the deck, drink some wine, or take a boat to travel all over the mountains and rivers all over the world!"

At this moment, Li Xiuning was so moved that she wanted to cry.

After all, Chen Ying was busy with official duties, so he decided on the general direction and left the rest to Hu Kui. In addition to the part that Chen Ying seized in Xingyang, the gold, silver and treasures that Chen Ying seized in Xingyang had to be transported, and the part that was hidden by Chen Ying was still covered by baggage in the army. Chen Ying had nothing to do with the handover of these property and how to transport them. Instead, he completely delegated power and handed over to Hu Kui.

Chen Ying found that Hu Kui had a lot of experience in managing supplies and internal affairs, so Chen Ying returned overnight to the Cijian Camp in Luoyang.

On the boat trip, Chen Ying was blew with a cold wind on the deck. Chen Ying was not sleepy at this moment. Although he spoke to Li Xiuning easily tomorrow, in fact, buying a car and a ship was not Chen Ying's true intention.

The biggest advantage of a ship is its easy operation and fast navigation speed.

It is said that being with the king is like being with a tiger. Once Chen Ying makes a mistake one day and offends the emperor, and the emperor takes his life, Chen Ying will never be Yue Fei and wait for death. At this time, the advantage of the steamer will appear. When the Yellow River Navy receives the order, Chen Ying can take a boat to reach thousands of miles away. Chen Ying has people. When the emperor really can't tolerate Chen Ying, he can also run to be a pirate. With Chen Ying's ability, even if he is a pirate, he will be the king among the pirates!

If the cooperation between Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande was really close, it would not give Chen Ying the chance to defeat each other. Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong were both famous generals who had been in battle, but they used each other to consume the strength of the Tang army and preserve their own thoughts. Both of them had them, so both sides used it and used it. If before the war, no one could guarantee that Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande would really make such a low-level mistake?

But, in fact, it proved that they really did.

"No one will never make mistakes. If he didn't make this time, it's just because the temptation is not big enough." Then is the temptation enough to make Chen Ying make mistakes this time? The answer is yes, that people will make mistakes, more or less, big or small.

It was late at night, and Chen Ying gradually became tired on the deck. Soon after returning to the cabin, he fell asleep.

Chen Ying had a spring dream, and a naked and top-notch beauty got into his bed, and the primitive beast that was imprisoned in Chen Ying's heart began to awaken in an instant.

This beast has been suppressed by Chen Huizhi, and finally Chen Ying transformed into a demon.

Strong storms, rushing to the top again and again.

The wind and rain have just stopped, and the smell of hormones is filled with the air.

The trumpet of breakfast sounded, and Chen Ying woke up slowly. There was a little lazy and tiredness between his eyebrows, and he almost closed his eyes and groped in his clothes. Suddenly.

Chen Ying bought a slightly cool spot.

He shivered and quickly opened his eyes, a wet and sticky liquid. Chen Ying laughed silently and thought to himself: "How long have I been holding it in my arms, I actually lost my dreams."

Just as Chen Ying put on her clothes, she suddenly lost all her sleepiness.

Something is wrong, there is really something wrong.

Chen Ying found that there were scratches on his shoulders and chest. If it was a dream, at most nocturnal to dreams, how could this scratch be explained? Besides, his back was also painful at this time. There was no bronze mirror in Chen Ying's cabin. He just pulled out his sword and acted as a mirror. From the reflection of the knife, Chen Ying saw that there were also crisscrossing scratches on his back. If the scratches on his shoulders were scratched unconsciously, what was the scratches on his back?

Chen Ying tried, and there were traces of scratches, and his hands were simply out of reach.

Chen Ying stretched his head to the guard outside the door and asked, "Who has been here last night?"

Asunasmo said in confusion: "No one came. The general only slept for two hours yesterday. During these two hours, I didn't notice anyone coming!"

"No one came?" Chen Ying's doubts became even more serious. What was the injury on his body?

Besides, that spring dream is too real, it doesn’t seem like dreaming at all.

There is only one woman in the entire fleet, and that is Li Xiuning.

Was it her last night?

After Chen Ying washed up, he specially invited Li Xiuning to have breakfast together.

Li Xiuning was fully armed and restored her style as an iceberg female general.

Chen Ying stared at Li Xiuning for a long time, but did not notice Li Xiuning's abnormality.

The two of them finished their breakfast in silence, and Li Xiuning murmured as she walked: "It's strange, Chen Lang is so strange today!"

He Yue'er, dressed as a male soldier behind Li Xiuning, walked a few steps and yawned, quickly covered her mouth, looked around like a thief, with a slightly red face.

She found that Li Xiuning was looking at He Yue'er with a smile.
