Today is a happy day in the history of the Tang Dynasty. In other words, the largest ship in the world's history is about to be launched. People are standing on both sides of the river bank waiting to see this shocking event.
Lao Gao was wearing a bright red brocade robe, embroidered with gold threads that shimmered under the rising sun, looking like a shrine. Xiao Gao next to him is also wearing a bright red robe, but it is slightly different from his father. There was no gold thread on his robe, and someone had powdered his dark face. It was as thick as a finger, and the snow-white face looked a bit scary. Paired with a pair of red lips, she looks like a goblin who just ate a child.
Yunhao calmly took a step to the side. It would be terrible if this guy suddenly jumped up and bit someone.
Behind him stood Xiong Kuohai. This guy must have come out without his auspicious clothes. He just wore the armor he wore on the battlefield and tied a red cloth belt around his head to express happiness. But according to Yunhao's opinion, this guy looks more like an executioner.
Li Wenzhong next to him is more presentable. Wearing a fourth-grade military attach¨¦ uniform, he looks as grand as he wants. I didn't notice it when I was wearing a long coat yesterday. I haven't seen him in two years and he already has a big belly. Wearing a robe is a bit revealing, hmm! It must be at least five months.
Yunhao lamented that he was surrounded by these little soldiers and generals. He's just here to embarrass himself!
Time is urgent and there is no way to get a good-looking honor guard. This is all we can do!
"Commander! Should we start now? The auspicious time has come!" Li Wenzhong looked at the sundial and reminded in a low voice.
Yunhao put away his resentment that there was no honor guard, nodded and said nothing.
"Start!" Li Wenzhong gave the order, and the signal soldiers around him began to wave the red flag in their hands like crazy.
"Moo!" Ten old scalpers weighing more than 500 kilograms roared loudly, and began to turn the winch driven by whips. The sluice gate opened, and the turbid river water began to flow into the dock. Soon the dock was filled, and the Datang began to move slowly. It was like a giant beast that had been sleeping for many years and slowly began to wake up.
The river filled more and more water, and finally it was level with the river surface. The two water ghosts jumped into the water with two "plop" sounds. After a while, he came out of the water and before spitting out the muddy water in his mouth, he started shouting loudly: "Float! Float!"
¡°At first it was two people shouting, and then there were hundreds of workers shouting next to the dock. Finally, people all over the mountains and plains were shouting. These people were either shipyard workers or their families. Everyone has put their heart and soul into this ship, and now that the ship can float everyone is jumping with joy.
"Lao Gao and Xiao Gao have disappeared, and the two of them were crawling around in the bottom of the boat like mice. Behind him were dozens of workers armed with mallets, ready to plug leaks. It's very difficult to keep a ship this big without water leaks. This is why only water is filled in the dock. The reason why the Tang Dynasty was not dragged into the Yangtze River!
From morning to noon, the sun was a little tilted. Lao Gao and Xiao Gao just finished their work. Sure enough, there were a few leaks, but they were not serious problems. After repairs, there has been no leakage. With today's Tang Dynasty's shipbuilding technology, it is extremely rare to be able to do this.
"Commander! See if you can enter the river!"
"Yeah!" Yunhao nodded!
"Dong", "dong" and "dong" were heard three times. Immediately, a big man with a sharp knife began to chop the cables tied to the Datang.
Not long after, all three thick cables were cut off. The dock's gate was completely opened, and under the tug of the two sailboats, the Datang finally twisted its huge body and sailed into the Yangtze River. When the survey reached the middle of the river, the huge iron anchor fell into the water, causing a huge splash.
The waterway of the Yangtze River is now completely blocked, and only fishing boats can travel in deep water areas. The huge body of the Tang Dynasty came across, as if it wanted to intercept the entire Yangtze River. Yunhao did not calculate the displacement of this ship, but in later generations it seems that the Liaoning was not much different from the Datang in front of him.
It was another inspection, and it was not until the sun set that it was considered a success.
The airship can land directly on the deck. In fact, this is probably the world's first flat-deck ship. Coupled with the upturned bow, it looks very much like the Liaoning.
However, because the airship is too large, only two such airships can be docked on the deck at the same time. Two are enough. Airships inflate too slowly. During naval battles, hot air balloons are released more often than airships.
Yesterday when the sun set, we were still in the dock. Today, when the sun sets, we have reached the center of the Yangtze River. The sound of the river water lapping against the side of the boat sounds so refreshing. Finally succeeded, Datang's maritime giant will completely open up the history of the Tang Empire's ocean conquests.Of course, Yunhao doesn't care how he spends it. Ten accountants helped distribute the money, and soon everyone had money in their hands. Ten shining silver guangyang, a Silla maid these days only has five guangyang.
Li Wenzhong asked Yunhao to speak in a very stupid way, and he also learned to mobilize the masses without any teacher. When everyone clapped and asked Yunhao to come up to the stage to speak. Yunhao had to stand up and walked to the stage to speak.
"Ahem!" Look at the dark crowd below, and there are pairs of happy eyes. Yunhao coughed, and suddenly there was no sound in the crowd of more than two thousand people.
"Everyone has worked hard for five years, and the Datang has finally been completed and launched." As soon as Yun Hao finished his first sentence, Li Wenzhong took the lead and a tsunami-like applause sounded below.
After a while, the applause fell and Yun Hao continued: "The completion and launch of this ship is not the end. We still have to go to sea with this ship to see whether it can withstand the wind and waves at sea, and whether there is anything that needs improvement." So, everyone will follow me to the South China Sea. This trip will last almost a year. I will give everyone three days off to arrange things at home. In three days, we will set off. "
Yunhao¡¯s words suddenly dimmed the joyful eyes.
After working hard for five years, I was only allowed three days to rest. Those who wanted to buy Silla maids immediately lost interest. Who bought a big girl with yellow flowers and kept it? What if someone steals the suckling pig and eats it?
Those who live in Chang'an were even more surprised. I thought I could go home with the money, but I didn't expect that I would have to float on the sea for a year. It is said that the sea is not as good as the Yangtze River, and there are three-foot waves even when there is no wind. A man who grew up on a loess soil will suffer a lot when he goes to sea.
Seeing the expressions of the people below, Yunhao coughed again. The "buzz" and "buzz" sounds stopped all of a sudden!
"I know that this is a bit unkind, so I have asked for permission from Your Majesty. This year, everyone will have three times the salary. If we fight at sea and capture something, we can also share some of it. If we achieve military merit, the court will discuss the merits. Reward. My father-in-law never forces it. We only need a hundred people to go to sea, which means that only one of the twenty of you can go to sea. Those who are willing to be rich and honorable can go to General Li to sign up later. Those who are not willing can do it tomorrow morning. You can disembark with the silver dollars.¡±
As soon as Yunhao finished speaking, there was another "buzz" and "buzz" sound in the cabin!
Three times the salary per year means that one year¡¯s salary is equal to the five years¡¯ reward. You can share some of the seizures, my God! How fat are those people in the Liaodong Navy? No one knows that these people are no different from pirates at sea. Not to mention, there is still a chance to make military exploits.
Establish military merit! Who among the generations of craftsmen have made military exploits? The director of the shipyard, Zhao, is not qualified to be the director only because of his military exploits. The head catchers in the yamen in Jiangling City are all fat men with military merit. Many able-bodied young men have already begun to wonder whether to sign up. Wealth and honor are sought in danger. The Duke has given you this opportunity, so you must seize it. But how can I take care of the green flowers at home and my mother?
"Don't worry, everyone. You have to go home and discuss such a big matter with your family. Anyway, you can sign up tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." Yunhao smiled and pressed his hands, and the tension in the crowd suddenly eased a lot.
"at last¡¡!"
Hearing Yunhao¡¯s final words, everyone raised their heads and looked at the young Duke. I don¡¯t know what other tangled and good things are waiting for me!
