Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 185 Inspection of Sea Ships in Shanghai Port

Zhang Yi only dealt with some more important official duties for half a month, and spent the rest of the time with Da Qiao.

Fan Lihua often brings Hong'er here, born in such a family, these children are doomed not to get much love from their father since childhood.Zhang Yi was also very guilty, and could only give them fatherly love as much as possible.

Seeing Fan Lihua and Da Qiao bringing a child alone, Sun said with great taste: "Husband, why do the two elder sisters have children, but I don't."

After hearing this, Fan Lihua and Da Qiao laughed softly.Zhang Yi also has some worries, Sun is still too young, only 15 years old this year, Zhang Yi has not touched her, no matter what, he has to wait until she is 16 years old, and her menstrual cycle is fully developed.

Of course, it will take a few more years for Mrs. Sun to have a child. Although she doesn't have to wait until she is in her 20s, she still needs to be ten or eighty-nine!

Zhang Yi couldn't explain these words clearly to Mrs. Sun, but Zhang Yi had already raised the minimum age of marriage for girls to 15 years old, and it will be raised again after a few years, and will continue to be raised to [-] years old.

After staying at home for half a month, Zhang Yi received a letter from Meng Kang that the ship has entered the testing stage.

When Zhang Yi saw this book, he immediately took Wei Wentong, Liu Muzhi, and Baiqi to Ruxukou.At Ruxukou, take a boat to Dantu, and then go straight to Shanghai City.

In Shanghai City, many officials have gathered here, not to mention Meng Kang, Gan Ning, and Pan Zhang, but also Zhu Zhi, Han Shizhong, Gu Shao, Zhang Dun, Bu Jing and others.

Gu Shao is the son of Gu Yong, and the Gu family began to rise after Gu Yong served as Wu Junzhu Bo.Many members of his family work in Wu County. Gu Hui is Gu Yong's younger brother, and he is now the Haiyan Commander.Gu Ti is Gu Yong's younger brother, and now serves as Wucheng Prime Minister, and Wucheng is now Sun Quan's marquis.And Gu Shao is now the magistrate of Lou County, so he is very helpful in the construction of Shanghai City.

As for Zhang Dun and Bu Jing, they are people with the same name as Lu Xun.Although the three of them are ranked behind Gu Shao and Lu Ji, they are also outstanding for a while.Zhang Dun is known as Deliang Yuanyi, who is good at diction, while Bu Jing is famous for his extensive books, such as Youquan and Yuhangling.

"Gu Shao, force: 42, strategy: 63, strategy: 76, internal affairs: 89, education: 91, diplomacy: 83. Characteristics: promotion."

"Promotion: Good at discovering talents, and being able to respect the corporals."

"Gu Hui, force: 43, strategy: 74, strategy: 76, internal affairs: 87, education: 93, diplomacy: 92. Trait: reason."

"Ming Li: Outstanding talent, knowing the time and understanding."

"Gu Ti: Armed Forces: 46, War Strategy: 53, Strategy: 66, Internal Affairs: 81, Education: 87, Diplomacy: 76. Trait: Shou Ti."

"Shouti: Strictly observe filial piety, but the courtesy of Gu Ti and his wife is too much."

Zhang Yi didn't quite understand it, but after some inquiring, he found out that Gu Ti was basically half of Liu Xiahui, who had sex with his wife and left before dawn, and when his wife came to visit him when he was sick, he had to dress properly and respectfully See.

"Zhang Dun, force: 62, strategy: 63, strategy: 71, internal affairs: 75, education: 68, diplomacy: 73. Characteristics: high integrity."

"Bu Jing, Force: 56, War Strategy: 57, Strategy: 68, Internal Affairs: 73, Education: 74, Diplomacy: 71. Features: Expo."

These talents are currently relatively prominent in Wu County, and they were all activated by Zhu Zhi after he arrived in Wu County.

After meeting these people, Zhang Yi asked Meng Kang to take him to the ship to have a look.

Meng Kang brought Zhang Yi and the others to the ship. He introduced it and said, "This ship is 28 feet long, nine feet wide, and three feet high. It has three masts and hard sails. The load is 20 catties (equivalent to today's 250 tons, the displacement of this ship is about 300-2000 tons. The load of a general ship is about the same as its own weight, but Mengkang’s sea ship has ballast stones, and it is not included in it.), can carry [-] soldiers .”

Meng Kang led everyone into the cabin, "There are storage rooms, kitchens, armament rooms, bedrooms, and stone rooms (watertight cabins) inside."

“这艘大船是我们现在建造的最大的船只了。我们一共建造了三个型号的海船，分别是荷载5万斤（排水量60-80吨）的一个桅杆的船。荷载10万斤（排水量120-150吨）的二个桅杆的船。”

"At present, only one of the three ship types has been built, and they have all undergone simple sailing tests, and the problems found are not very big."

Looking at the hard sail on the mast, Zhang Yi asked, "Is this sail too slow to raise?"

Meng Kang said: "It is true, but its sails are lowered very quickly. If there is a storm, you can lower the sails quickly to avoid being blown over."

Zhang Yi thought about it, it seemed like this was the case.Ancient Chinese preferred to use hard sails, which seems to be not unreasonable.The West likes to use soft sails, which may be related to the fact that there are no typhoons and hurricanes in Europe. Later, because they got used to it, they couldn't change it.

But Zhang Yi still said: "In the future, you can try the combination of soft and hard sails, maybe you can get good results."

Meng Kang nodded and asked people to write it down.

Zhang Yi asked: "Are there any weapons on this ship? You won't be using bows and arrows anymore!"

Meng Kang said: "I can only build ships, but not weapons."

Zhang Yi thought for a while and said: "In this way, you can make a few rams at the bow of the ship. When you encounter enemy ships, just knock them over. When I return to Shouchun, I will send you some Craftsmen who can make large ballistas, let them install large ballistas on ships to increase the attack capability of your ships."

There is no artillery for the time being, so a large ballista can only be used instead.Of course, maybe a trebuchet could also be used.However, Zhang Yi always felt that the trebuchet was completely unreliable, and its own aiming head was not fixed. After being bumped in the water, the aiming head was even more lost. Could it be that it was going to fire a fire bomb?Throw more than a dozen fire oil tanks directly and burn down the enemy's ships?

This is obviously not shown, the oil itself is expensive, and Zhang Yi simply cannot use this attack method without finding natural oil.

But after finding natural oil, Zhang Yi will be invincible in naval battles.No, now he can basically be sure that he is invincible in naval battles, because now he is the only one with a navy.

The smallest sea boat is similar to the big boat before. In order to distinguish them, Zhang Yi named the big boat Jiangchuan.A small sea ship is called a sea fish ship, which means a big fish in the sea; a medium-sized sea ship is called a sea reef ship, which means a reef in the sea; a large sea ship is called a sea island ship, which means an island in the sea.

Zhang Yi asked Meng Kang to speed up the construction of ships so that Gan Ning could go north, and at the same time asked Gu Shao to speed up the construction of the harbor.

Not only here, Zhang Yi also ordered the construction of seaports in Haiyan, Juzhang (Ningbo), Huipu (Taizhou), Yexian (Fuzhou), and Yandu (Yancheng) to attack the navy.
