Chapter 609

The sea breeze in Wangjiang in February is still cold. Baidu search literature network, more good free reading.

On the wharf, the Wangjiang docked in the berth on the shore, and busy craftsmen went up and down the ship, repairing all the damages. The sound of knocking came far along the sea breeze.

On the shore, the guard on duty walked back and forth, always paying attention to the warships in the berth. This large ship with fire marks and arrow holes everywhere is a treasure of the Navy.

Further away, on the top of Dongji mountain, several thick catapults held their heads high, pointing obliquely to the sky, staring at the distant sea.

When Su Lu arrived at Wangjiang, it was noon. Su Ping met Su Lu at the gate of the city with a dozen generals and captains.

"Second brother, you finally came."

Su Ping had a blister on her mouth and her face was much haggard.

Su Lu patted Su Ping on the shoulder and asked:

"Why, it's so serious to be anxious and angry. I can't see my daughter-in-law for many days."

There was a roar of laughter around, and a group of generals and the surrounding guards burst into laughter.

Su Ping's face turned a little red, sighed and said helplessly:

"Although we won the battle at sea, the only treasure is a lump and can't leave the port. All kinds of auxiliary ships are also seriously damaged. We can't even get together the small boat team for cruising out of the port."

"The British suffered a great loss and sent at least four fighting ships to patrol outside our port every day. If they were not afraid of our super catapults, they would have rushed up long ago."

"I can't eat well and sleep well. Even if the intees ignore it and rush up in one breath, the crossbows on Dongji mountain can't stop them and are swept away by them."

Su Ping said with a wry smile on her face, and the blisters on her mouth were the size of soybeans.

"Let's go and have a look at the harbour."

Su Lu ordered.

Su Ping led the way and the Party headed for the harbor.

As soon as Han Ergou wanted to move forward, he was grabbed by Liu Chuang, vice captain Zhaowu under Deputy General Liu. Baidu search literature network, more good free reading.

"I said, Lao Han, I heard you were in the limelight in Beijing this time. Is it true or false?"

Han Ergou smiled, his face full of pride:

"Of course, my old Han's life is worth it."

All the Navy generals and schools around here are curious. What good thing has happened to this grandson? It's worth it all his life.

Duan Xiu, who was also in high spirits, pulled Han Ergou's lake green robe and said with teasing on his face:

"Yes, my old Han has made such a robe for his Majesty's female official. It's worth it in his life to marry that female official."

"Your boy said again."

Han Ergou patted Duan Xiu's hand, and his black face was full of pride:

"Lady Lin is the one who attends your majesty. How can a woman like a fairy in heaven marry a big man like us? I'm satisfied to get her a robe."

A group of school captains stretched out their hands and pinched them on Han Ergou's robe.

"Ouch, the stitches are fine. It's a good job. Old Han is blessed."

"Look at this material. It's the best cotton cloth. The Lin female official has made a thought. She must be interested in Er Gou."

"Er Gou is lucky."

Han Ergou's face was full of pride and let a group of robes touch his clothes.

Duan Xiu shouted:

"What's the matter, that is, Lao Han was lucky to meet the Lin female official. If I met the Lin female official, the robe would be mine."

"The bed in the Wu Ying hall is so comfortable, and the female officer's hand is so soft."

"Unfortunately, the female officials who serve us are not as diligent as female officials Lin."

Speaking of the end, Duan Xiu was very sorry.

All the school captains around straightened their eyes, and Liu Chuang scolded.

"Shit, you're still sleeping in the Wu Ying hall during the dog day. You're staying in the palace. What kind of dog luck did you two have?"

"I regret it. Why didn't I get on the fire boat at that time? If I had the courage at that time, this robe would be mine."

"Regret."

A group of school captains beat their chests and feet. They regretted that they didn't do their best on the battlefield and missed the reward in Beijing.

Lin Gang appeared next to Han ergo and patted Han ergo on the shoulder in a gentle tone:

"Han Xiaowei, if you want to marry Lin nvguan, you need to make more efforts. A Yihui Xiaowei can't marry Lin nvguan."

Han Ergou jumped up and flew to the dock:

"I want to learn something from the Lord. If I can't catch up with the governor, at least I have to be a general."

Duan Xiu's face was full of curiosity. "Captain Lin, if old Han really became a general, he could really marry Lin nvguan."

The school captains around looked at Lin Gang curiously, looking forward to it.

These people are all big and rough. In the past, they only knew how to fight and farm, such as Duan Xiu. If they didn't stay in the Wu Ying hall for one night, how could they contact female officials in the palace such as Lin female officials.

Lin Gang laughed at the speech:

"You guys, whether you can do it or not is not up to me. I also want to know whether the person you want to marry is willing or not, and whether your own rank is high enough. As far as I know, the staff office has opened a new water Army Department, which is exclusively responsible for studying the methods and examples of water army operations. The selected officers are elite generals from all kinds of water armies. If you are lucky to join the water Army Department, you will be a woman from a general of four grades and five grades Official. "

All the school captains stared at Lin Gang. A moment later, they rushed to the dock.

"I'll learn some war methods and examples from the Lord. You can't let ergo take all the good things."

"Go together and discuss together."

"What tactics does the navy have? The commander-in-chief didn't say that. We were all reckless before. That's also a tactic."

"All that can win is good tactics."

Lin Gang looked at the captains of the Naval Academy who were competing with each other. The corners of his mouth rose and showed a smile. It's good to deceive these big men.

On the dock, Su Lu said hello to Lu Zhonglian, who was repairing the ship. After a few words, the old man paid attention to him and continued to repair the deck.

Su Ping smiled helplessly: "old man Lu has such a temper and likes to deal with big ships. He can work like this for a day without saying a word, but he has a good job and has nothing to say."

Su Lu nodded: "such craftsmen should be used well. If they are put in the right place, they can save a lot of strength."

"We need to accumulate experience in building a bucket ship, and we should make good use of such teachers. All the boys who graduated from the school in Wangjiang city this year are recruited to learn shipbuilding and ship repair with these old craftsmen."

Deputy General Liu was surprised: "Lord, students are going to take the imperial examination. It's not appropriate to do this carpentry job."

Su Lu's eyes fell outside the harbor and looked at the distant place where the sea and sky met. His tone was full of no doubt.

"Just do what I say."

Deputy General Liu's face stagnated, but he didn't dare to question Su Lu. He just said yes and stopped talking.

Su Ping's eyes turned. "Second brother, there are a lot of people in the shipbuilding division. It's enough to build a bucket ship. There's no place to place so many people."

"The Ministry of household has approved your 6 million taels of silver in order to build ships for you."

"Silk"

Su Ping and vice general Liu looked at each other, and the generals around them were surprised.

Six million taels. How many fighting ships do you have to build.

"Beep"

The sharp whistle sounded suddenly at the top of the East pole.

The guards in the harbor immediately moved, and a dozen sea grasshopper ships sailed towards the harbor like arrows.

In the distance, at the junction of the sea and the sky, a small black spot appeared.

One, two, three

There are more and more black spots.
