Datang: Valkyrie chat group

Now, in this city, Guo Xiao has already planted eyeliners, and any troubles and troubles can't escape his eyes.

As a strategist, this is a consistent style.

"This ship has been tested in the water"

Tang Feng turned around, pointed to the third-tier warship in the distance, and asked.

In this harbor, not only one ship is moored, but many other ships, large and small, are also moored.

However, with just one glance, Tang Feng could tell that the ship was built by himself.

/> The huge size, and the two masts on the sea ship, are not what this era can have.

"Some sailors have tested it in the sea, and there is no problem. It is enough to go to sea."

Guo Xiao replied respectfully.

Tang Feng smiled and nodded.

Afterwards, under the guidance of Guo Xiao, a group of people walked towards the interior of the shipyard.

In the shipyard, on six huge berths, six wooden warships already have some outlines, and dozens of craftsmen are busy on each warship.

Scaffolding stands everywhere, wrapping these......warships inside.

From a distance, the scene is magnificent.

Strictly speaking, the two-masted warship is a product of the super-epoch. Historically, this kind of battlefield appeared in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, designed by the Dutch, and it was not widely used until the eighteenth century. use it.

However, the [-] craftsmen that Qi Jiguang traded over were also highly skilled shipbuilders, and on the basis of this ship, they combined the interlayer technology of Daming Shipbuilding. Therefore, these... .. Warships have stronger resistance to blows, and can withstand the impact of violent waves in rough seas.

"Master Hou, after the first warship successfully tested the sea, I ordered people to build these six warships again. It is estimated that in...nearly two months, the manufacturing can be completed."

After a while, Guo Xiao spoke.

.........Tang Feng scanned the shipyard for a week. There are only six 66 berths in the entire shipyard.

This time, all of them were used.

In just over a month, from having nothing to the present scale, Tang Feng is still very satisfied.

As for the two months that Guo Xiao mentioned, he can fully understand it.

When building the first warship, all craftsmen built it together, so the speed would naturally be much faster, but now, six warships are being built at the same time, and [-] craftsmen are divided, so it will indeed be slower.

However, with the first ship in the finished product, he can already do what he wants to do.

In this era, navigation technology has not been widely developed, and even those Western worlds that have made achievements in navigation are still barbaric.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about encountering man-made dangers at sea.

"Money is enough"

Tang Feng asked lightly.

When Guo Xing and his party left Chang'an, Tang Feng set aside [-] guan for building shipyards and seagoing ships.

Although he didn't know the specifics of it, in his opinion, building such a giant must cost a lot of money.

Today, Guo Xue is building six seagoing ships at the same time, which is somewhat beyond his expectations and.

Chapter 656: Going to Sea

Fifty thousand coins.

This money, no matter...

Even if it is placed there, it is not considered a small amount.

However, building a shipyard and building ships, none of these things are easy, Tang Feng has no idea, the money is not enough after all.

"Lord Hou, you have enough money. The most important material for building seagoing ships is wood. Someone below found a large number of 100 years in the direction of Youzhou. After cutting down the trees, they can pass through the sea in front of them without any effort. It can be transported to Dengzhou, and in this aspect alone, a lot of costs have been reduced.”

Guo Xiao replied with a smile.

When Tang Feng heard the words, he couldn't laugh or cry.

Youzhou, which is now the northern part of Hebei, the Liaoning generation, is a bit desolate, but when it comes to trees, there is absolutely no shortage of them.

Moreover, what Guo Xiao said did not ask ""

Question, if you go by land, Youzhou is quite a distance from Dengzhou, but when it comes to sea, there is a distance of Bohai Bay in between.

As a descendant, he naturally knows this.

What made him a little puzzled was how could Guo Xun know these things...

Tang Feng didn't delve into these matters, the result was already in front of him, and he was also happy and relaxed.

Although it is said that the monthly income of the various industries under Tang's command is more than 1 yuan, which is like a money grab, but the operating time is not very long after all.

Last time, [-] guan was given to Tang Wang, and this time, Guo Xun took another [-] guan with him before his departure. This money alone consumed half a year's accumulation of the Marquis Mansion.

Of course, Tang Feng wouldn't feel any distress.

Where there is investment, there will be returns.

The investment of [-] guan today, when the sea trade is officially launched in the future, will surely earn back several times and dozens of times.

After staying in the shipyard for a day, watching these........ the six new warships being perfected step by step in the busy work of the craftsmen, Tang Feng was determined.

Datang is famous for its infantry, but in terms of navy, there is no complete system.

I set up a base overseas just in case, leaving a way to retreat.

Now, with the existence of these...warships, this back road is extremely strong, and it can even be said that there will be no more accidents.

There is a big difference between naval warfare and land warfare.

If there is no powerful warship as support, no matter how many people there are, it is no different from sending them to death.

Nowadays, compared with other countries in this period, Datang's shipbuilding technology is very superb, but if it is compared with this class three warships beyond the era, it is scum, there is no comparison.

On the third day after arriving in Dengzhou, Tang Feng was ready to go to sea.

For the construction of sea-going ships, there are hundreds of craftsmen of Ming Dynasty who he knows well, and Guo Xiao is watching here, so he doesn't have any worries.

Following Tang Feng's plan to go to sea, Guo Xiao led the crowd and boarded the two-masted warship docked at the port.

Since receiving the news of Tang Feng's arrival from the east, Guo Xun has sent people to carry a lot of food, fresh water and other living supplies to the warship these days.

It can be said that food and clothing are all available.

In addition to these, the sailors with excellent skills, the pilots of the warships, the guides who are familiar with the sea conditions, and all kinds of personnel have been prepared on the ship early.

This trip to sea is different from the previous trial voyages.

Guo Xiao knew that if this... Lord Hou wanted to establish his own power, he would definitely not be near the sea.

Although it is said that the sea routes in the Tang Dynasty have not been fully utilized yet, there are still ships going out to sea to do some things from time to time. As a port city, there are many fishermen here.

It is definitely not feasible to establish a base in an offshore area.

Therefore, he must do everything in his power to ensure the safety of his Lord Marquis.

&n

bsp; After inspecting the warship, Tang Feng nodded in satisfaction. With such a capable person by his side, he saved a lot of effort.

Guo Xiao had already prepared everything, and he was not prepared to delay any longer.

After half an hour.

Under Guo Xiao's watchful eye, the warship set sail and slowly headed for the distance.

As the warship slowly moved forward, the port gradually became blurred in Tang Feng's eyes.

He turned his head and looked forward.

Looking at the endless sea water, Tang Feng's mind was completely emptied.

In his previous life, he lived in an inland province, and he had never traveled to the sea... In two lifetimes, this was the first time he experienced this feeling, and he still couldn't help feeling a little turbulent in his heart.

Not far away, Zhao Ping, a group of guards from Zhen Ping's residence were also standing there, looking around.

After half a sound, Tang Feng's mood fluctuated, and he calmed down slowly.

Then, according to the memory of the world map in my mind, I command the direction of the navigator.

Time passed slowly.

I don't know how long it has passed, Tang Feng looked around, except for... the vast sea water, he couldn't see anything else.

After the initial curiosity, what follows is extreme boredom.

A day passed like this.

During the period, I also saw some small islands sporadically, but Tang Feng just took a look on the ship and then fell.

He wants to establish a base overseas and establish his own power. At that time, there will inevitably be tens of thousands of people. The island is too small, so naturally it will not work.

In his opinion, at least an island that can accommodate tens of thousands of people, even hundreds of thousands of people, is the ideal place in his heart.

On the second day, Tang Feng patrolled outside and returned to the room again.

Lying on the soft couch, I couldn't help thinking of the famous navigator in the west.

columbus.

This Westerner, in History of Navigation 3.

5, leaving a very profound meaning.

It was his voyage that opened up the era of European exploration and colonization of overseas territories that lasted for centuries.

Of course, during this period, this... Western navigator hadn't been born yet, and even Tang Feng didn't know whether there was anyone alive on the land of Spain, or what kind of people there were.

Now, what he thinks is that this third-level battlefield must be able to support him to travel far in the deep sea. If he is one step ahead, what kind of changes will happen to this world.

While Tang Feng was thinking about these... interesting questions, there was a knock on the door.

Sitting up and walking out, Zhao Ping stood at the door.

"Master Hou, I found an island ahead, do you want to go and have a look?"

Zhao Ping said respectfully.

Chapter 657: Penglai

Go to the deck again.

The sun goes down.

Seeing this scene, a line of poetry involuntarily appeared in Tang Feng's mind.

The autumn waters are as long as the sky and the same color: the sunset and the lone duck fly together.

Today's picture is so similar.

The warship docked slowly, Tang Feng got off the warship first, and walked towards the small island.

Behind him, Zhao Ping and others followed closely behind.

This place is different from the mainland, and they don't have any concept in their hearts, but it is their mission to protect their marquis well.

A deserted island.

There are only lush and verdant numbers, rising from the ground and covering the sky and the sun.

In the woods, the thick fallen leaves have been piled up for an unknown number of years. When people step on them, they creak.

Behind Tang Feng, Zhao Ping, Zhen Ping and other guards looked around vigilantly.

The unknown is often what scares people the most.

Even Zhao Ping, the three-star generals, dare not take it lightly in this unknown place.

In the woods, occasionally there is a sound, which will arouse the vigilance of several people.

Looking carefully again, I saw a few birds thumping and flying through the forest, and a few hares ran over because of the stranger's arrival, and they just let go of their minds.

At the front, Tang Feng walked straight forward without any worries.

In this era, no one will exist on this kind of deserted island, and the only danger can only be some wild animals on the island. However, what threat can this pose to him?
