Chapter 416 The strange hydrofoil clutch

"Hehehehehehe", Zhao Xing laughed wildly: "Tong Guan is not so brave. No one in the Song Dynasty has the courage to start a war with me on the river. I will send orders to let the two small boats lean against the side. I want to see who has such courage to chase my gunboat on the river!"

After a moment of pause, Zhao Xing comforted the three female tricks as if nothing had happened: "What's the matter? Zhao Laohu slaughtered countless people, and they killed everyone who could be killed. I haven't done anything to deal with women yet. I'll take you away because I don't want Tong Guanri to cause trouble later.

Have you seen it? The states and counties along the way don’t come to curry favor with me. If you want to get rid of your family (a cheap family) and then hide your surname anonymously, I only need to hand it to the local officials three inches of paper. You can change any name you want. The local officials will handle the procedures for you in detail... What do you mean?"

The so-called "wash all the bad and marry into the homes of ordinary people" is not everyone who has the courage to do it. Dear courtesans usually enjoy the flattery of officials and talents, drink the best wine, wear the most expensive silk and satin, eat the most famous delicacies, open their mouths and clothes, and stretch out their hands, sing and dancing all day long, and what they give is nothing more than the instinct of pleasing to behave.

Now, seeing the opportunity to enter the home of the first-class official in the dynasty, spend the rest of his life leisurely, give them another choice, let them choose to wash away all the bad luck, marry an ordinary man, make the food by himself, sew the clothes by himself, live by the pigpen, and use the hands of painting and dancing to wash clothes by washing clothes and cooking, cleaning pig manure, and texting them by hand, and go to the street market to bargain with vendors... Such pastoral pastoral days are not what women who enjoy all their glory want to choose.

The two small boats chasing on the river are getting closer and closer. You can see people on the boat. Two gorgeous women are standing at the bow of the boat, urging the boatman to speed up, and shouting at Zhao Xing's warship: "Mr. Husband, Husband Zhao. Let's go slowly, wait for me, I have something to ask for!"

Yizhangqing was surprised: "These are the other two Yangzhou courtesans?"

Qiu Ri blurted out: "It's the two vixen in Kuaiyilou and Linjianglou. We are still considering staying or leaving. These two vixen are chasing each other again. What do you want to do? It's so angry!"

Qiuri forgot that he is actually a vixen in the eyes of others.

The place where he chased him were several current courtesans in Yangzhou. That is, those courtesans who Zhao Xing ignored during his stay in Yangzhou.

Zhao Xing was in Yangzhou with the five courtesans in front of him. It was not that he chose deliberately, but because these five were all geishas who had close contact with Hou Meng. When Hou Meng met Zhao Xing, he recommended them to Zhao Xing.

After witnessing Liao Xiaoxiao's charm, Zhao Xing was no longer as curious and vague as a love-first brother. He said in a modern way: He now has hundreds of thousands of people per second, and is too lazy to spend more time on women. The existence of female philosophers was just a concealment, and the situation was uneasy at that time. He also made extraordinary actions of military advice, and needed to use the help of beautiful women to attract the hostile eyes of others. Therefore, Hou Mengyi recommended that he was too lazy to explore by himself, and the visitors accepted these philosophers without hesitation.

As more things were dealing with every day, people's energy would inevitably be dispersed. Zhao Xing was fully focused on the changes in the morning and secretly planned one conspiracy after another. He looked at him in a lustful way every day and hugged the female technicians. But if he took a microscope to observe the movement of Zhao Xing's brain cells, he would be shocked by the overturning plan in his mind.

In this state of mind, Zhao Xing had more than five female tricks around him and had no energy to greet others. After the military admonition, Zhao Xing was more and more powerful, and he had a large number of entourages when he went in and out. It was difficult for others to get close to him. Therefore, although the neglected courtesans complained, they had no chance to connect with Zhao Xing, and they naturally had no way to say that they were full of grievances.

At this moment, the boats on the river lined up in a row and drove one after another. This happened to be the only opportunity to approach Zhao Xing. Two girls jumped on the boat and urged the boatman to rush the boatman to rush the way. Qiuri next to him raised her eyebrows and cursed, "Don't pay attention to them, please. Let's go."

Zhao Xing asked again: "Have you decided?"

The elderly courtesan suddenly knelt down and cried, "Fortunately, the hard money we earned in the past is still in our pockets. It's a hundred thousand yuan. If you use this money to live, you can find a good man and ask the Taiwei to take charge."

The other two courtesans looked at each other, and then knelt down and begged: "I hope the Grand Marshal will be the leader."

At this time, the only green and autumn days remained motionless.

Zhao Xing pointed at the shore and replied: "I can make the decision in Tongzhou, Taizhou. I will give each of you a name and let the guards go to the state yamen. The local officials will naturally arrange your resignation and arrange a new identity for you. The guards will help you buy an industry in the local area to make your family settle down. How about it? If you decide, don't meet the people of Kuaiyilou and Linjianglou. In the future, you will live a new life and be known to someone's past identity. It would be a bad idea!"

The three female sluts bowed their heads and replied: "The Grand Marshal is the leader!"

Zhao Xing asked Yizhangqing and Qiuri again: "What are your plans? I am here today, so I will be the person in charge."

Qiu Ri looked at Zhao Xing with big watery eyes and refused to speak. Yizhangqing simply replied: "I can't take my shoulders and I can't weave them. What I'm best at is dancing on my palms. I hope the Taiwei spreads his hands to care for him. I hope that the Taiwei's palm will dance forever."

Zhao Xing asked again: "In autumn, you also say something."

"The Taiwei doesn't need to be said." The autumn waves are gentle, looking at the river: "I am a good daughter, but unfortunately she is in the dust. If the Taiwei is willing to take shelter, I am willing to sing and sing for the Taiwei; if the Taiwei refuses, this spring water of the river will be my place to live."

The three female geniuses who were asking for leave were in unison and cursed: "Fox spirit. If we had known that we had committed suicide by jumping into the river, we would have used it... I regret it!"

"Very good!" Zhao Xing nodded: "So, you three get off the boat from the other side of the ship, and my guards will accompany you to settle it. The command: slow down the warship and let the incoming ship lean on the side."

Zhao Xing's boat "Apple" is a 2,000-material ship with a hull divided into three layers above the water surface, and there is also a gangway on the deck. The entire deck surface is nearly three meters higher than the water surface. If the hanger ladder is not placed on the boat, the boat people will not be able to get on the surface.

On the boat, Zhao Xing ate an apple, then raised the apple in his hand and looked at it carefully, and stopped. He smacked his lips regretfully and sighed: "This uncultured wild apple is really tasteless. No wonder it is only suitable for making wine and making fruit peels... Put down the rope ladder, and we have chased us here. What else can we do? Can we ask them to chase all the way to Hangzhou?"

The first one to climb onto the boat were two boatmen. The two boatmen were dressed in short clothes, and the costumes could clearly show the shadow of the Zhuque Army uniform. They had a short knife on their waists and held a piece of wooden stick in their hands. They came onto the boat. They knocked on the board with wooden sticks, put on a cool shape, and shouted anxiously: "The Xunjie is anxious to send people and things to the people and things. They are very credible... Xunjie is happy to say hello to the Taiwei and to the two girls."

Zhao Xing said oh, looking up and down at the two rushers. At this time, the two women poked their heads out of the side of the boat. The rushers quickly turned around. They stretched out the stick in their hands to let the woman lead them to help the two women climb up. Seeing the person coming out, Qiu Ri jumped into Zhao Xing's arms. He ate an apple in Zhao Xing's hand without any hesitation and said coquettishly: "What's not delicious? It's crispy and sweet, slightly sour, and the delicious and tight!"

Yizhangqing was not willing to fall behind, so he quickly picked up the knife and smiled and said, "Maybe the peel is a little astringent. My husband, I have peeled the peel for you, okay?"

The Song Dynasty's "rushing to walk" was similar to the modern post office, but the Song Dynasty's "rushing to walk" even people mailed it. In modern legend, there is a story about Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin's "sending to the girl from Jing'an for thousands of miles". According to this, modern people speculated that Song Taizu might have served as the "rushing to walk" when he was poor, and the package delivered was the legendary "jing'an".

In the world where bandits were rampant in the early Song Dynasty, the quick-witted people who were in a hurry were actually similar to the escorts in the later escorts. They not only escort goods, but also needed to escort personnel on the road. However, the Song Dynasty was a society that was polite. If the quick-witted people were escorting women, they could not touch the guests' bodies on the way according to regulations, otherwise they would violate the industry rules - this is why the quick-witted people stretched out their sticks to pull the two women.

In modern legend, Zhao Kuangyin never talked to Jing Niang while escorting Jing Niang, and always left a stick to walk. All these descriptions happened to be the industry constraints of the Song Dynasty's "rushing to walk" on the urgent feet.

Two girls climbed the stick and walked on the deck. The soldiers on the deck were first stunning, and then looked at Zhao Xing with a smile. Qiuri and Yizhangqing general Zhao Xing snuggled closer together. The two raised their eyebrows like a demonstration and stared at the two courtesans chasing.

Zhao Xing looked up and down at the two courtesans, well, what does it mean to wash away all the dew? Perhaps the appearance of these two courtesans now is the best annotation of this word. They dress very elegantly, without too much jewelry on their heads, and without rouge on their faces, making them look plain... Even so, their beauty still makes the sailors on the Apple account dizzy.

The officers came to their senses first, and they shouted: "No onlookers are allowed to watch, soldiers are all in their place, and stay at their posts... The sailors are the chief, our boat cannot stop, throw down the suspension cables and drag the boat away."

Zhao Xing shook his head and interrupted, "Hold the boat up with a crane, I want to see their oars."

The two men looked at each other quickly, but before they could speak, Zhao Xing immediately said: "Shuangjie, this name seems to be a vehement beast that imitates me... Boating on the river, although my ship is going to drive in sequence on the main channel, so it controls the speed, but it is not easy for your ship to catch up with us. Hang the ship up and I want to see its oars."

After the two men looked at each other quickly, one of them bowed and reported: "My husband, we don't have oars on our boat, we use hydrofoils."

The so-called "water wing" is the name of the two great wheels of the loach boats in the Song Dynasty.

Before the new courtesan had time to speak, they were disconnected by Zhao Xing. They rushed forward and gave him a plea to greet Yizhangqing and Qiuri carefully. Zhao Xing let go Yizhangqing and Qiuri go to the side of the boat, leaning over to observe the anxious boat hanging on the side of the boat, while observing the three female tricks left the other side.

The water wing boat is indeed used to move quickly. There are two miniature paddle wheels on both sides of its hull. The miniature paddle wheel is made of iron footnotes. Judging from its design ideas, it seems that the boatman is sitting on the boat and shaking the rocker to drive the hydrofoil forward. If it shakes quickly, the boat speed will be faster, and even catches up with Zhao Xing's boat.

Because Zhao Xing's boat was in a deep draft, he could only sail in the middle of the channel, and the center of the channel was generally busy. Therefore, although the front-drive warships had tried their best to drive the ships to free up the river waterway for Zhao Xing, the "Apple" had to control the speed and follow the ships in front to move slowly according to navigation practices.

Although it has been controlling the speed, what kind of ship is the "Apple"? Its sail is larger than the combined ground area of ​​two small boats. There are three masts on the boat, and there are a total of more than a dozen sails. Even if half of the sail is moving forward, it is still like a galloping horse. This speed also makes the rushing boat catch up. It can be imagined how fast the rushing boat is. This is a continuous speed, which shows that shaking the rotor and turning the wings must be more labor-saving than paddling, which makes the wing boat move like a fish rushing on the water.

The hydrofoil in front of me already has the smell of a modern propeller. Its blades are not as straight as paddle wheels, but are actually arranged in curves. Zhao Xing studied it in surprise for a while and whispered: "Did there be fluid dynamics in the Song Dynasty? Otherwise, how could this propeller suddenly appear... Could it be a time traveler again?"

The anxious people watched Zhao Xing study the hydrofoils, and they didn't dare to show off. They heard Zhao Xing muttering in a low voice and shook their heads. Although they couldn't understand what Zhao Xing said, they noticed Zhao Xing's dissatisfaction. They quickly confessed: "Taiwei, this hydrofoil was registered, and they registered with the Nanyang Affairs Bureau. This is called... patent! Our ship owner purchased a patent and specially made this fast boat in Yangzhou..."

Zhao Xing shook his head, muttered something in a low voice, waved his hand and ordered the officer: "Okay, put the ship down. Drag it behind the big ship... When you go back, remember to remind me, check the nearest patent, find this inventor, and I want to talk to him."

The crane began to move in a squeak. When the noise subsided, the four women were already chatting with each other.

Women are strange animals. They call each other sisters intimately, and they are as familiar as a family. But Zhao Xing clearly felt the tense hostility. He smiled and asked the two courtesans: "Two courtesans, what are you going to chase after me? Do you want me to enjoy the same treatment as my teacher, Mr. Po. I came to ask for poetry on the river, and the poems written by me are far inferior to those of my family."

Qiuri was about to report what they were talking to each other just now, and she opened her mouth. The courtesan in Kuaiyi Tower had already snatched the conversation. Quickly explained: "My husband, you don't know that since you left, Yangzhou has been in chaos. Tens of thousands of palace maids have been dismissed in Yanfu Palace in the capital. Although most of the palace maids were taken back by their families, there were also many places without family members. They went south to Yangzhou. Local wealthy businessmen in Yangzhou were scrambling to marry them. Some poor palace maids simply entered the Taoist temple... Humph, now, the limelight of our courtesans has been snatched away by those romantic little Taoist nuns."

The courtesan of Linjiang Tower also took the topic with a wink, blocking Yizhangqing and Qiuri's mouths with fast words. She said, "Shi, there is no Taoist nun. It is more bold than the brothel tile house. It is said that this was trained by Your Majesty. It is the charm of the palace, which has attracted all the money to see.

The Taiwei didn't know that since you left, we, the neglected courtesans, are no longer loved. People say that the Taiwei is not favored, must have a reason. If this life is not going to last, the sisters discussed and took advantage of the fact that the wind was not making a big deal and each redeemed themselves. It just so happened that the palace maids came a lot, and the building didn't care about us, so lucky to get out.

The other three sisters went south and north, all of whom were thinking about finding an ordinary family to marry. Only my sister was frugal and had some extra money on hand. She was thinking about the prosperity of Hangzhou, and planned to go to Hangzhou, either to open a weaving shop, a teahouse, or a wine shop, and to earn three or five pension money at will. But I was not familiar with the place and could not take care of this kind of business, so I came to ask the Grandpa Taiwei to go with me."

Zhao Xing breathed a light and agreed: "It's a simple task, why not... Wait, I will introduce you to someone, my servant Yuan Yeping, let him arrange what you ask for."

Yuan Yeping came out of the shadow and whispered: "I just needed a large number of people to open teahouses and tile houses in various places. They came just right - I came out of the territory, and I arranged the waiter of the Turtle Slave Hall, just trained the female musicians, and also rely on the two courtesans. Come on, I will discuss it here..."

Yuan Yeping warmly greeted two female geniuses into the cabin and went to discuss his evil plans. After a while, when he left the cabin, Zhao Xing had already set up a stove on the deck and roasted meat. Yuan Yeping looked happy and approached Zhao Xing and said a little annoyed: "Why didn't Changmen Palace think of this trick? The three courtesans in the place where you dismissed were all looking forward to their heads. It's a pity that I'd better go ashore to find them?"

Zhao Xing pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Hurry up and lean on the side of the big ship, you can take this ship..."

At this time, two people were leaning on the side of the ship, looking around curiously, observing the legendary warship. According to legend, the giant boat that Zhao Xing was sitting in ran half of the earth, destroyed countless countries along the way, and supported the merchants of the Song Dynasty everywhere, making the life of the Song people particularly comfortable overseas. Every time they traveled to, the place where the Song people lived spontaneously formed a country in the country, and all this relied on the deterrence brought to the enemy by the giant ship.

According to legend, the giant boat of the Shenzong is also a large ship of 3,000 to 5,000 materials. Unfortunately, after sailing once, this giant boat has disappeared from now on. However, Zhao Xing's giant boat is in reality. Two eager and curious looking around, looking at the sailors on the ship, raised their sails, lowered their sails, and turned their masts under the command of the captain, so that the sails could be filled with wind.

While they were watching, they muttered in a low voice. A faint sound from the wind showed that they seemed to be discussing why the deck was clean and they had not seen a cannon. In the legend of the Song people, Zhao Xing's ship was filled with cannons. Once the warship started to fire, the whole hull looked like a big firework blooming on a festival, very dazzling.

Yuan Yeping walked towards the two men quickly, and Zhao Xing shook his head to stop him: "It's useless, they won't leave the deck because their 'package' has not been delivered to Hangzhou yet... I tried it just now, and they didn't even eat the food handed over by others, but only the dry food they carried with them in their package. It's admirable.

You can take a few sailors and let our sailors control the hydrofoil boat. As long as we drive the boat back to Hangzhou afterwards and return it to them intact, they probably won’t have any complaints.”

Yuan Yeping agreed and greeted the follower: "You, you, follow me and go on a toll. Now you leave without any luggage, just bring your own weapons."

When Yuanyeping brought all his men and climbed onto the winged boat, the two winged boats were calm and did not say anything to stop them from beginning to end. When Yuanye drove away their winged boats, they just lay on the side of the boat and looked around for a moment. Then, they returned to the side of the boat without any extreme behavior.

The captain brought a bag of silver coins as Zhao Xing ordered, threw it to the two people and explained: "My people have urgent matters to use your ship. This is a rental fee, and the ship will pay you back. When you arrive in Hangzhou, you can stay at my husband's mansion and wait for them to send the ship back. Therefore, we will compensate you for the time you are delayed. We will pay the waiting time on a daily basis and will never treat it unfairly."

The two smiled anxiously, nodded and bowed, "Thank you for your reward, but I am not in a hurry. The people say that the Taiwei is a good man and a first-class official. Not only does it not take the people a piece of copper, but they also get back the property stolen by Yingfeng Bureau for them. A certain family believes that the Taiwei is not in a hurry at all. How long does the noble official have to use the boat? It only works."

A little fell, the two chasing courtesans had finished washing up again and went to meet Zhao Xing on the deck. The hostile atmosphere between the four women was still strong, but on the surface it became more intimate. Zhao Xing teased the chasans who caught up with him: "At first glance, you still feel simple when you see your dressing, but when you look closely, it is clearly a kind of 'expensive simplicity' - the printed cloths you wore were produced by my printing and dyeing factory, the shoes on your feet were made by Su, and the wooden hairpins on your head were made of dragon blood wood. My family and Shengxuan were produced... they are not bargains."

Yizhangqing and Qiuri were stunned after hearing this, and immediately showed a proud look. The courtesan of Kuaiyilou shook his clothes and said, "That's right, this kind of printed cloth is more expensive than high-quality silk. I really can't think of why they are sold so expensive? This wooden hairpin is more expensive than gold, which scares me so much..."
