The days when I was working in the West Factory

Chapter 493

Just when Zhao Yu was feeling emotional towards the huge monster in front of him, Ah Fa told him that it was only modified from the treasure ship in the time of Grandfather Cheng.

And according to Ah Fa's idea, the Bing Zhansi even made a sketch of an ironclad ship.

It's just that there are too many details that need to be considered and studied, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to figure it out in a while.

This is after the treasure ship has been refitted by the Bingzhang Division, but it can meet the requirements that Zhao Yu wanted.

Next, Ah Fa took Zhao Yu to visit some equipment on the treasure ship, especially those weapons, and grinned at Zhao Yu.

During this period, whether it was the Westerners or the Xin Dynasty, most of the artillery used was to use gunpowder to push a big iron ball to smash it.

And the cannons equipped by the Bingzhang Division on this treasure ship have evolved into explosive ones.

The difference between the two words, the power is not the same.

Especially when navigating at sea, the power of this kind of artillery researched by the Bing Zhansi is even more terrifying.

……

One month later, with the sound of three cannon shots from the largest wharf in Tianjin Wei, a banner embroidered with Shu brocade was slowly raised from the mast of the leading treasure ship.

Thirty treasure ships left the harbor one by one and sailed into the vast sea.

These thirty or so treasure ships were filled with tea, silk, porcelain and other objects. Even if Zhao Yu was a scumbag, he knew that these things were rare for Western countries in this era.

Among the accompanying people, in addition to Erha and Hua Meng, there were also Zhao Shizhen, the deputy chief of the military battle department, and some officials in charge of the Ministry of Rites headed by Lu Qinghou.

Of course, An Jianqing also brought hundreds of Jinyiwei elites, as well as [-] sailors from the Xin Dynasty Navy mobilized by the Ministry of War.

Compared with the ostentation of old Zheng Yuanhang during the time of Grandfather Cheng, Zhao Yu's line was not as ostentatious except for ships and weapons.

It's just that Zhao Yu understands that this trip to the ocean is not for the sake of promoting the country's prestige.

The big ship rides the wind and waves, because it is sailing offshore, there are no strong winds and waves, and the big ship is relatively stable.

According to the navigation chart left by Lao Zheng, Zhao Yu and the others need to start from Tianjinwei, sail offshore to Taicang, and then to Changle.

After arriving in Changle, they will fill the remaining empty treasure ships with supplies, and then go all the way south, first to Champa.

In fact, after arriving in Champa, it was the beginning of this ocean-going journey.

The waterway is much faster than the dry road, and although Zhao Yu's treasure ships are similar to Lao Zheng's treasure ships, they are quite different.

Ah Fa researched and improved the steam engine under his happy bed, and under Zhao Yu's random instructions, used it on this big ship for the first time.

Although it is not as good as the serious ships of later generations, in this era, the ceiling is already there.

About half a month later, Zhao Yu and his entourage left Changle on a treasure ship, headed all the way south, riding the wind and waves towards Champa.

……

Jiangnan, Iron Sword Gate.

This Iron Sword Sect has a long history and has been dominant in Jiangnan martial arts for hundreds of years. It is said that its head, Tie Jianxian, came from the Sword Sect, and his heavy sword is superb.

On the bright side, Tie Jianmen is a well-known and decent family, but if there is any injustice in the one-acre land around him, Tie Jianmen will help.

Over the years, there have been countless rich and benevolent landlords who died under Tie Jian's gate, and their reputation in this area is not bad.

It's just that this is just a matter of course for ordinary people.

The rivers and lakes are a bloody place, once you step in, you will never get clean under your buttocks.

This Tiejianmen is no exception. It doesn't take much to prestige Humen to do things that are not visible in private.

Just this morning, another group of people entered the Iron Sword Gate. Anyone who could lift the sword in the gate was beheaded and killed.

Bu Jingyun held the sword of defeat, looking coldly at the Tie Jianxian in the inner hall, who died with regret.

Since he separated from Zhao Yu, he has uprooted dozens of Jianghu sects all the way south.

Along the way, he gradually figured out some ways.

Although Zhao Yu made such a mess, the whole Jianghu was in a state of anxiety, and everyone was in danger.

But it seems that from the secret notes sent by Jin Yiwei from behind, those places that were ravaged by them are much more stable.

Since ancient times, the gate of the yamen has opened to the south, so some people who can't get justice, hope that there will be chivalrous knights who will come out to uphold justice.

This is understandable.

But in this way, wouldn't officials be greedy for ink?
Of course not, and those chivalrous knights, who are alone and have no income, will have to kill and set fire after a long time

In this way, ordinary people will not be at peace.

Now in the new dynasty, there is Zhang Wei, the chief assistant of the cabinet, who measures the land in the world and enters the households. Officials have monthly audits and annual audits, so they dare not be too presumptuous.

"After leaving the Tianxiahui, I became a dog of the imperial court. If I don't cry, the god of death is also a humble person..."

Just when Bu Jingyun was about to turn around, a joking voice came from the inner hall.

Bu Jingyun didn't turn around immediately when he heard the words, but his hand holding the sword of defeat tightened suddenly.

In the inner hall, except for the already dead Tie Jianxian, he didn't notice any clues.

And this person can appear in the inner hall without anyone noticing, which shows that the cultivation base is at least on par with him.

What made Bu Jingyun frowned even more was, why did this voice sound familiar?

whoosh...

A beam of rainbow light shot out from the inner hall and went straight to Bu Jingyun's heart.

Bu Jingyun, who was standing in the courtyard, had no intention of avoiding it, but the energy in his whole body surged instantly.

Whizzing!

When the rainbow light was about to hit Bu Jingyun's back heart, he didn't want two sharp sword auras to appear suddenly around Bu Jingyun, smashing the rainbow light into pieces.

At the same time, Bu Jingyun's body turned around, and the long sword in his hand was handed out backwards, and a sword glow went straight into the inner hall.

Rumble!
In the inner hall, the red glow reappeared, and the sword energy shot out by Yu Bu Jingyun collided with each other, and the terrifying energy instantly sent the inner hall flying.

"Broken Wave?!"

After the dust cleared, when Bu Jingyun saw the man with evil eyes in the ruins, he couldn't help being shocked even though his heart was as unmoved as a mountain.

Among the ruins, the man in red with an ancient sword in his hand was Duanlang who had been beheaded by Zhao Yu in Wushuang City.

At this moment, Duanlang appeared in front of Bu Jingyun intact.

"Surprised?"

Duan Lang smiled charmingly, and then stretched out his hand to brush his neck, where there was a thin red mark.

Back then in Wushuang City, Zhao Yu used his ancestral Fire Lin Sword to seal his throat. At that time, he also thought that he was going to die like this.

But he didn't want to, after Zhao Yu left, a man in black robe and ice armor appeared and asked him, who was speechless, if he would be his slave.

Duanlang, who had already touched the threshold of Yan Luo Palace at that time, of course agreed without hesitation.

As a result, the man took him away and led him all the way to a place called Tianmen.

Not only saved his life, but also taught him a terrifying magic skill!

Duan Lang originally thought that he would go out to seek revenge on Zhao Yu after three to five years, when he had accomplished his magic skills.

Unexpectedly, within a few months, he received news that the mysterious sect master who could save the dead had died under Zhao Yu's hands.

Duanlang was completely relieved when he got the news.

Even such a terrifying god-man is not Zhao Yu's opponent. With his thin arms and legs, wouldn't he die if he went out?

But when Duanlang was about to fly away, fate pushed another man to his side again.

The man led a group of men with terrifying cultivation bases, and in a very short period of time, he controlled the entire Tianmen in his hands.

Some time ago, they obtained countless treasures and a terrifying magic weapon from the desert in the northwest.

But according to the words of the lord, even if there is such a magic weapon, it is impossible to be Zhao Yu's opponent.

At this time, Luo Xian, the Goddess of Tianmen, told the lord a secret, and the lord was overjoyed, so she made herself travel thousands of miles to find Bu Jingyun.

"Humph……"

Bu Jingyun didn't answer, but just snorted coldly, a ray of light flowed from the sword of defeat in his hand, and the sword energy faltered.

Duan Lang seemed to have expected this result, and then he sneered, and with a horizontal movement of the long sword in his hand, streaks of red light surged from both sides of the sword.

During the Tianxiahui, when Duanlang lost to Bu Jingyun, it was Xiongba's order.

For this reason, Duanlang has always been brooding, but until he betrayed the Tianxiahui, he didn't find a chance to win the round.

It's just right now, let Bu Jingyun try his magic skills!

While the sword glow was flickering, Bu Jingyun held out his sword, and streams of sword energy suddenly appeared from all around. After a moment of staggering back and forth, the inner hall of this square inch has become a pool of swords.

"That's right, it seems that even though you've been a dog's leg, you haven't lost much in your cultivation!"

Duanlang was in the sword pool, but he didn't have any scruples, instead he sneered.

But Bu Jingyun frowned slightly at this time, he knew how powerful this sword pond was.

Even if Wuming, the previous martial arts myth, came, I probably wouldn't dare to make such a big deal.

"Let you also see what real strength is!"

Seeing Bu Jingyun frowning, Duanlang gave a wicked smile, then dropped the sword with his right hand, and folded his hands violently.

Boom! !

As the energy wandered around his body, a smear of blood rushed out of Duanlang's eight extraordinary meridians in an instant, forming a terrifying gang of energy one foot away from his body.

The aura was as red as blood, and whenever there was sword aura approaching him, there would be a low thunderous sound from the blood aura, blowing away the sword aura.

A moment later, the blood-colored Gang Qi pushed out another foot, and the hidden Thunder Gang scattered all the surrounding sword Qi.

This sword pond was easily broken open by Duanlang in the blink of an eye.

"slow!"

At the moment when the sword pool was broken, Bu Jingyun held the sword with one hand, and a bright light hit Duanlang's eyebrows.

But Duanlang, who had already gained the upper hand, shouted to stop at this moment, and dodged Bu Jingyun's sword glow.

whoosh...

The sword glow was silent, and after skimming over the broken waves, it pierced through the wall behind him without a sound.

But Duan Lang, who had already avoided the sword glow, had a thumb-sized bloody hole in his heart.

My heart is broken.

This kind of injury was already fatal.

But what really surprised Bu Jingyun was that Duanlang seemed to be okay, he stretched out his hand to brush his heart, stained with a wisp of blood, and sent it into his mouth.

But in just a few breaths, except for the broken clothes, there was no scar on Duanlang's heart.

"Based on the current you, you also want to kill this young master? Heh..."

Duanlang looked at Bu Jingyun with disdain, and said in a cold voice.

Bu Jingyun, who is cold by nature, was surprised, but his movements were not slow at all.

The sword of defeat rises again, and the sword energy is stronger than before.

"My young master is not here today to fight with you."

Duanlang took a step back, stared at Bu Jingyun, and said in a cold voice.

If the lord hadn't tried everything possible to get that thing, he would definitely not let Bu Jingyun go.

Bu Jingyun heard the words, but he was unmoved. With a move of the long sword, the sword energy was condensed on the sword of defeat, and rushed out again.

Seeing the menacing sword light attacking, Duan Lang didn't dodge or dodge, he just smiled coldly and said: "It seems that you don't want Kong Ci to wake up!"

Hearing Duanlang say Kong Ci, Bu Jingyun's heart skipped a beat, and the sword glow instantly shifted by half an inch.

The long sword passed by, leaving a trace of blood on Duanlang's cheek...

"what for?"

Bu Jingyun held the sword of defeat and said coldly.

"My young master's ability to stand here today already speaks volumes, doesn't it?"

Duan Lang didn't say much, after saying these words, he swept out of the Iron Sword Gate with a single movement.

He understood that Bu Jingyun would definitely follow.Duanlang has an extraordinary talent for trying to figure out people's hearts.

After Bu Jingyun stayed in place for a while, he turned around and flew towards the direction Duanlang left.

He may not care about other people's life or death, but Kong Ci is different.

Today's Kong Ci is still in the Yuejian Palace in the capital, although there are people serving him, he is like a living dead.

Duan Lang who was beheaded by Zhao Yu can stand in front of him alive, maybe Kong Ci really still has a glimmer of hope.

Following this thought, Bu Jingyun finally caught up with Duanlang who had already left the city.

Seeing Bu Jingyun following up, Duanlang sneered.

……

Starting from Tianjinwei, a month later, Zhao Yu and his party finally arrived at Champa marked in Old Zheng's navigation records.

Although this Champa is also a foreign barbarian, after all, it borders the Xin Dynasty in the north, and among the accompanying officials of the Ministry of Rites, there are a few people who are proficient in its language.

The treasure ship was approaching Champa. Under the command of An Jianqing, the small boat was lowered from the treasure ship first, and several skilled guards in Jin Yi took the letter of the new emperor and two chief officers who were proficient in local language, and approached Xinzhou port first.

Zhao Yu wanted to follow, but was rejected by everyone with righteous words.

After everyone waited on the treasure ship for more than two hours, the boat that went to negotiate came back.

"meet?"

Hearing the news brought back by Jin Yiwei and the principal, Zhao Yu was a little confused.

When those foreign barbarians heard that it was a treasure ship from the new dynasty, they immediately reported it to the officials, and when the officials learned about it, they were overjoyed, and the leaders went to Xinzhou Port to meet them in person.

"This foreign barbarian is not as fierce as the rumors say, it seems that this posture is quite enthusiastic..."

Zhao Yu muttered a few words in a low voice, then turned around two of the treasure ships and headed straight for Xinzhou Port.

But after hearing what Zhao Yu said to himself in a low voice, the person in charge of keeping Old Zheng's Hang Hai Zhi smiled wryly and shook his head.
