Two hundred and seventy-one, the change in the southeast
"This place is really extraordinary." Yang Hongzhao stood on the huge rocks in the mountains, overlooking the lush mountains that could not be seen at a glance. This place is the back mountain of Luchun County.
The Feng Shui master behind him hurriedly said, "This is the east of Suzhou. The east belongs to wood, which is the main dragon. The place where it lives is harmonious and the air is clear, and all things grow, so the spirits and heroes in this place are also determined by the destiny."
Yang Hongzhao just nodded. Feng Shui knowledge has not long been around, and it has its own uses for marching and fighting, but it only comes down to its uses. It is brought by your side, and it has its own uses when marching, wading through the water and crossing the mountains along the way.
As for the mysterious and mysterious statements of Feng Shui Master, Yang Hongzhao often ignores them and does not touch his heart.
He will not delve into other people's jobs, and what he says has nothing to do with him. He only wants to do what he does.
The eleven counties in the eastern part of Ansu Prefecture are completely under the control of the imperial guards.
It must be a great achievement for conquering eleven counties within three days, but he was not happy at all, because he had no soldiers and soldiers to conquer eleven counties. The only ones who were injured were either slippery mountain roads, fell by himself, or from north to south, they were uncomfortable with cold and warm, and got sick.
But no one was injured by the war, and no one died by the war.
The eleven eastern counties were exhausted because there were few defenders in these counties, with hundreds of soldiers and dozens of soldiers. They were all brave and merciless, and they were not sure how to fight. They surrendered directly as soon as they saw the army.
After asking, he found out that the rebel commander Ding Yi suffered a great defeat in the north and lost tens of thousands of troops. As a last resort, he drew supplements from all over the southeast.
After hearing this, Yang Hongzhao's heart was even more shocked, and then he felt more and more incredible.
The rebels were defeated in the north, where is the north? Naturally, Luzhou is north of Suzhou!
What I guessed before seemed to be verified step by step, and he felt it became more and more absurd and began to comfort himself. That was impossible, just a thousand people, how could it be done? Even if King Pingnan did give him advice to move westward slowly before setting off...
But that should be a coincidence...
It’s not that amazing in the world. Not everyone is the champion. Such a person is rare in a thousand years.
Thinking of this in his heart, he couldn't help but turn around and ask Mr. Feng Shui: "Kyoto is the place where the dragon veins are, and where the earth is spiritual, will it be a great man?"
The Feng Shui master smiled and said, "The general was worried that one mother and nine sons were even ten mothers. Although there was a saying of earth spirit, it was a fate that was outstanding but not outstanding."
Yang Hongzhao nodded, but couldn't help but want to go north quickly and see what happened in the north. However, after careful consideration, he decided to take a steady approach and be cautious.
Be careful of sailing for a thousand-year-old ship. There are also important towns on the way north, and maybe the rebels have a backup plan.
The eastern part is said to be eleven counties, but in fact it is nothing more than a rebel and proclaiming himself as the State of Xu. In order to make his State of Xu look like a state, he also brought some small and small towns into counties.
"Report, General, the court has an order." A guard behind him hurriedly pulled away the branches and leaves and delivered a letter to Yang Hongzhao.
Yang Hongzhao took it, opened it and looked for a while, then frowned.
"The court wants to take the waterway and ask me to divide my troops south. How to take it? Where did the ship come from the court?" After frowned, he couldn't help looking to look south. He also wanted to take the waterway in the south, and he knew that there were not many defenders there.
But water wars are different from land wars. They have no ships. The navy is like a carp entering the water in the river, coming and going freely, and they cannot compete with it at all.
Of course, no one could answer Yang Hongzhao's question, where did the ship come from the court and where did the people come from?
But why should he be left behind these things? At the moment, what he cares most about is the things in the north, what exactly happened in the north, and what exactly happened in the north.
.........
At the end of April, the wind direction changed, and two huge sailboats above the river were descending the river.
The ship is ridiculously large, with a length of about twenty feet in front and back, and a width of the upper deck is more than two feet, which makes the ship look very slender, but even so, it travels very steadily and quickly, about twice as fast as an ordinary large ship. Even Ji Chunsheng and many sailors were amazed.
In fact, if you just talk about carrying people, such a large ship can carry about four or five hundred people in one ship, but because of the heavy artillery and a large number of projectiles, gunpowder, and firearms, you can't carry more people at all.
These days, Ji Chunsheng trains people on the boat to use fire guns and cannons every day. Some of the more than 500 people came from the Wude Department, but some were the remaining guards in the royal palace. They train on the boat every day, and some were dizzy, seasick and vomiting, and they were not adapted at all.
But there is not much time left. Tomorrow, the fleet will pass through the Anxiakou and enter the Suzhou waters. At that time, it is very likely that it will meet the Suzhou navy.
Although their ships are big, they are also very fast, and they are ridiculously fast. Not only do they sail the big ship, there are also some huge gears and bearings below that he can't understand. The pedals are pedaled by the boatman, and the water wheels are made of Xiaogang behind them. The water wheels rotate very quickly, and the boat runs very fast.
He asked Miss Qiu'er, and she only said what formulas to do work can increase the distance and reduce the applied force of doing the same work, etc.
Ji Chunsheng was naturally confused when he heard it.
Moreover, the gunpowder they brought this time was different before. These gunpowder were processed by Miss Qiu'er with egg white and then dried. The particles were larger and there was a thin film on the surface, so it was still available in rainy and wet weather.
At that time, he and everyone in the mansion were shocked. Can the gunpowder be lit on rainy days?
Then when she thought that it was Qiu'er, she felt relieved. It seemed that nothing happened to her. After all, she was always smart and the prince loved the most.
After a while, the man dressed up as a girl Qiuer also came from the lower deck.
Ji Chunsheng was strongly opposed to her going south, but it was inconvenient. Although the new ship was divided into various cabins, Miss Qiuer said it was to increase the stability and damage resistance of the hull, because there were many internal support and the hull was firm. If it was partially damaged, as long as the corresponding cabin was sealed, it would not cause a shipwreck.
This also solves the problem of inconvenience in food and accommodation on the boat, and just give her a cabin alone.
But the problem is that Ji Chunsheng is not sure about the danger of this trip. If she makes a mistake, not only will the prince blame it, but the entire prince’s house also suffer losses!
Although the prince was not here, everyone was the main salary of the mistress Wang Lianshan, and was in charge of the order of Yan Jian General. However, if there was a problem, most of them asked to teach Miss Qiu'er. She was like she knew everything and could solve most of the things she had. She was not as prestigious as her mistress in the mansion.
But Qiu'er stuck him with one sentence, "If the ship breaks down, do you know how to repair it?"
Ji Chunsheng was speechless. If it were an ordinary ship, there would always be a way to bring a three or five carpenters. But the new ship in the royal palace is different from those. The dense gears and bearings are dazzling. How could he know how to repair it?
If the boat is really broken halfway, how can you save the prince? In desperation, Ji Chunsheng had to let her go.
I just hope that I won’t go wrong when I pass by Suzhou tomorrow... He silently prayed in his heart.
