Chapter 294: Boarding the Treasure Ship(1/2)

"Is this a treasure ship? Has my Ming Dynasty's treasure ship, which has been lost for more than two hundred years, finally appeared?"

Qi Qingtian looked at the extremely tall treasure ship in front of him and became extremely excited.

"With such a treasure ship, I wonder who on the entire sea dares to be my enemy?

Hongyi? Fo Langji? Zheng Yiguan? The sun never sets?"

Zhao Wen looked up to the sky and roared, as if he had already seen himself leading the fleet of treasure ships across the ocean and smashing the enemy's ships into pieces.

"Lord Commander-in-Chief!"

At this time, the steward in the shipyard led the workers in the factory and hurried to Zhao Wen's side.

Zhao Wen turned around and patted the steward's shoulder heavily, "You are very good. You are really very good. You actually built eight such treasure ships for me at one time."

"Your Excellency, you are overly complimentary. Your Excellency has already obtained the blueprints of the treasure ship for us. If we still can't build it, we will be ashamed of you." A trace of pride flashed on the steward's face.

Although Zhao Wen obtained the blueprints of the treasure ship, they were the ones who built the treasure ship after all.

Creating a long-lost treasure ship is also something to be proud of for them.

"Have all the treasure ships been built now?" Zhao Wen asked.

"Sir, now the four shipyards have completed the construction of all the treasure ships. There are only some finishing touches left. It is estimated that it will be completely completed in about ten days." The steward replied.

Zhao Wen nodded, then pointed at the treasure ship in front of him and shouted to the steward: "I want to go to the treasure ship to have a look. You guys can make arrangements."

Zhao Wen gave the order, and the steward of the shipyard hurriedly asked the craftsmen to push the boarding equipment to the dock.

Because the treasure ship is tall and the dock platform is too close to the water, special boarding equipment is required when boarding the treasure ship.

After a while, the craftsmen placed the boarding equipment on the dock and placed it tightly against the side of the treasure ship.

Zhao Wen took a step forward and walked up with a look of joy on his face.

Class A on the treasure ship is extremely smooth, especially the platform directly in front of the treasure ship. This front platform is huge, as big as a basketball court.

There are four tall masts on the platform, and the sails have not been hung yet, so the entire platform looks extremely open.

At the very back of the treasure ship is a high arched ship building.

This cabin is the room where the captain commanded the treasure ship. Because it is relatively high, it has a very broad view.

There is a high-rise watchtower above the ship building, which can accommodate two to three soldiers.

There are also four masts around the watchtower, but these four masts are relatively small.

In addition to here, there are also two watchtowers on the platform directly in front of the treasure ship.

As for the center of the treasure ship, it is sunken downwards, and the sunken part is also a huge platform.

Moreover, this platform is much larger than the platform directly in front of the treasure ship.

There are four huge masts on this platform, which are taller and stronger than the four masts directly in front of the treasure ship.

These four masts are the main sail of the treasure ship and the largest source of power for the treasure ship.

About two meters below the side of the treasure ship is the muzzle reserved for the artillery.

There are two layers of gun ports on each side of the ship, about one and a half meters apart in the middle.

In addition to the sides of the ship on both sides, there are also about a dozen reserved gun ports at the rear and forward.

The total number of these muzzles, large and small, is almost over 250.

The original treasure ship did not have so many gun ports. These were redesigned by Zhao Wen and specially added.

In this era, the cannons installed on warships were all bronze cannons, which were smoothbore cannons.

In order to shoot farther, the barrel will be lengthened, which will make it extremely heavy.

The muzzle reserved by Zhao Wen was not intended to install artillery.

In Zhao Wen's plan, these muzzles allowed his soldiers to fire 40 rounds.

Zhao Wen did not discover the 107 rocket launcher at that time, but now it can also be used to launch 107 rocket launchers.

After all, the artillery of this era cannot compare with these two weapons in terms of power or rate of fire.

Zhao Wen stood on the top of the ship building, looking around, and a heroic aura emerged from the bottom of his heart.

"It is indeed a treasure ship. With such a treasure ship, other ships are like toys in the hands of children, and they no longer attract any interest."

Zhao Wen slapped the side of the boat, his face filled with excitement.

"Sir, we have such a huge ship at hand, so we don't need to take Zheng Yiguan and his group to heart at all. If Zheng Yiguan dares to come, he will be able to hit them just by relying on such a huge ship.

Shen.”

Qi Qingtian stood behind Zhao Wen, looking at the blue sky and sea connecting into one in the distance, and said excitedly.

"Crash? Haha, we still have no idea whether Zheng Yiguan can get close to us. If he hits them with a treasure ship, he thinks too highly of them."

Zhao Wen sneered, with a hint of coldness on his face.

At this time, Mao Wenlong also boarded the treasure ship. He looked at the high-spirited Zhao Wen standing on the ship building and said with a smile: "Brother Zhao, with this treasure ship in hand, everyone on the entire Ming Dynasty sea will have to step aside.

At that time, we will drive your ship and take our things to the West for sale."

"With such a treasure ship in hand, what else do you need to sell? Just grab the land. Let me tell you, from the Japanese country to the east, there is an extremely vast continent. This continent is several times larger than the Ming Dynasty. This continent is full of people.

Gold and silver mines, when the time comes we will capture some red barbarians and let them mine for us."

When Zhao Wen thought of the extremely arrogant country in later generations, a cold feeling flashed in his heart.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Where are the people you detained? Take me to see them."

Zhao Wen looked at Mao Wenlong and asked in a deep voice.

Mao Wenlong said: "They are being held in prison. There are more than twenty people in total. If you want to see them now, I will take you there."

After Mao Wenlong said that, he took Zhao Wen in the direction of the Pidao General Military Mansion.

Zhao Wen followed Mao Wenlong closely.

Zhao Wen stepped off the treasure ship. He turned around and pointed at the treasure ship. He said to Qi Qingtian and Zhao Daniu behind him: "You two will take our people to get familiar with the treasure ship first. Soon we will drive these treasure ships out to fight."

Already."

Zhao Daniu and Qi Qingtian stopped where they were, raised their hands to Zhao Wengong, and said categorically: "Don't worry, sir, we will definitely get familiar with these treasure ships in the shortest possible time."

Zhao Wen nodded, took thirty personal guards, and followed Mao Wenlong towards the General Military Mansion.

Not long after, Zhao Wen arrived at the prison of the General Military Mansion.

Zhao Wen looked at the dimly lit cell with a foul smell, pointed at a few pirates squatting in the cell, and said to Mao Wenlong: "Are these people sent by Zheng Yiguan?"

Mao Wenlong said: "Yes, there are a total of five prisoners in this cell. In addition to a few of them, there are four more cells.

Because these people are long-standing gangsters, I have reinforced these cells."

Zhao Wen nodded, pointed to the big locks hanging on the cell, and said solemnly: "Open these big locks."

Mao Wenlong pointed to the cell leaders standing next to the cells and said, "Open the cells."

As soon as Mao Wenlong finished speaking, the cell bosses took the keys from their waists and opened the cell door.

Zhao Wen pushed the door open and walked in. He looked at the pirates squatting in the corner with the dim light in the cell. He frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "You guys are the ones sent by Zheng Yiguan to buy my treasure ship."

people?"

A one-eyed man was shackled and struggled to stand up from the ground.

He leaned against the wall behind the prison, looked at Zhao Wen, and said sarcastically: "Hey, what's going on today? Why did you bring in a pretty boy?

If you don’t take a pee and take a look at yourself, you’re nothing. Damn!”

The one-eyed pirate spit a thick mouthful of phlegm at Zhao Wen, but Zhao Wen had quick eyes and quick hands and dodged directly.

"How brave, how dare you insult my lord."

The personal guard standing behind Zhao Wen pulled out the long knife from his waist and rushed towards the one-eyed pirate with an angry look on his face.

Zhao Wen looked at the one-eyed pirate coldly and did not stop him.

For these personal guards, Zhao Wen's interests are above all else, and anyone who insults Zhao Wen is their mortal enemy.

The guard raised a knife and slashed directly at the one-eyed pirate's neck.

The one-eyed pirate looked at the knife struck by his personal guard, his pupils shrank, and he tried his best to avoid it, but how could he avoid it when he was shackled?

"go to hell!"

As the guard roared, the knife in his hand slashed directly on the one-eyed pirate's neck.

A huge head soared directly into the sky, and blood spurted toward the top of the cell, spraying the guards in the face.

Zhao Wen looked at the one-eyed pirate who fell limply and said to Mao Wenlong: "Brother Mao, pull him down and feed him to the dog."

Mao Wenlong nodded, then called the cell leader standing outside the cell and asked them to pull the dead body out.

The guard took back the long knife, took out a handkerchief from his waist, wiped the blood on the blade, and then inserted it back into the scabbard.

The remaining pirates squatting in the corner looked at the scene in front of them, their faces full of fear.
