Chapter 317: Battleship Model
"General Dongfang, you generals of Yizhou don't know how much people outside envy you."
Zhang Liao shook his head and said in a slight overview.
"You? Why do you envy me?"
Dongfang Qiang was a little curious.
"There is a fine wine supply of God's Wine every month, which is so luxurious."
Other princes would not distribute this kind of wine to their generals because it was too high to be worthy. Zhang Liao's treatment was pretty good in the past, but he didn't dare to drink this kind of wine often.
Zhang Liao explained the reason, and Dongfang Qiang and others suddenly realized that this was the case. The God-Silver was distributed by their lord. After a long time, it took it for granted.
Things you own and don’t pay attention to are sometimes extremely precious in the eyes of others!
For example, the fairy wine that Yizhou generals can receive every month. If it were someone else, it would be a long time to feel distressed when they bought a jar.
"Haha, don't worry, Wen Yuan, you can't finish drinking Shenxianjiu in the future, but I tell you, you must pay attention to these people..."
Dongfang forced Zhang Liao and said in a low voice:
"If General Zhang Xiong, Wei Yan, Shamoke, Guan Hai are looking for you to drink, you must hide the wine. Otherwise, you can wait and cry."
“Is it that serious?”
Zhang Liao showed a confused look and looked at everyone around him with a sense of inquisitiveness.
"Oh, I won't hide it from Wen Yuan. During my days at Hangu Pass, there was no jar of wine left..."
In order to let Zhang Liao understand the horror of those drunkards, Zhao Yun appeared to speak out.
The days he was guarding the pass with Zhang Xiong at Hangu Pass were really unbearable to look back. Zhang Xiong came to ask for wine every day, but he couldn't help but not give it to him.
But Zhang Xiong is pretty good. It’s not obvious to drink your wine with you.
"Thank you, Zhang Liao has recorded it."
Zhang Liao clasped his fists solemnly.
No general who led the troops to fight didn't like drinking. Zhang Liao was very grateful to Dongfang Qiang and Zhao Yun for helping him like this. It would be better to hide the wine of this level of immortal brewing.
On the night of the welcoming banquet, Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun were having a drink, and both got drunk.
...
Gao Shun, who arrived at Hangu Pass, was naturally warmly entertained by Zhang Xiong. He knew that Gao Shun was good at training troops, so he gave power to Gao Shun at night, making Gao Shun feel that he was dreaming.
The White Tiger Camp, which is even more powerful than the trap camp, is just handed over to himself like this? It’s not true no matter how you think about it. Instead, Zhou Cang poured his wine bowl by bowl, letting him know that he was already a member of the White Tiger Camp at this time.
The destruction of Lu Bu in Xuzhou did not cause much unrest, and the princes were all restrained. Wu Shun picked up two generals and was in a good mood. At present, the shortcomings of the Wuling Army are the navy, and there are no warships, and the water camp needs to be rebuilt.
When he was fine, Wu Shun liked to run to the weapon shop. He urged a group of senior boatmen to build models every day.
"Lord, someone from the Weapon House reported that the warship model has been built."
Qu A smiled and rushed in from outside. Wu Shun, who learned the news, put down the memorial in his hand and stood up:
"Go! Go to the Weapons House!"
The model he was waiting for was finally built, and there was no place to sit there.
Wu Shun and Qu A rushed to the Weapons Square in a hurry. Old Ou, Pu Yuan and others were already waiting there.
"Master!"
Seeing Wu Shun arrive, Pu Yuan and others hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
The pressure on them to create a battleship model is much lower. Whether it can be put into use needs to go through multiple tests. Wu Shun was notified to come over to check whether the battleship model can float smoothly after it was launched.
"Two gentlemen, don't be polite, hurry up and take me to see the model you made!"
Wu Shun pulled Pu Yuan and walked directly into the Weapons Shop.
"Master, I'm wrong, it's here..."
Pu Yuan dared not break free from Wu Shun's hand, but Wu Shun went in the wrong direction.
"Well, Pu Yuan, you lead the way."
Wu Shun also knew that he was too impatient, so he had to let Pu Yuan lead the way.
Under Pu Yuan's guidance, the group came to the artificial lake behind the Weapons. A two-meter-long wooden warship was parked next to the lake.
From a distance, it is no different from the warships on Wu Shun's drawings, but it is a little more refined.
"Okay, the workmanship is good. Has it been put into the water?"
Wu Shun was very satisfied with the warship model created by Pu Yuan and others. The appearance was very domineering. It looked like a modern warship. There was also a collision angle in front of the bow of the ship to hit the enemy ship. If it was wrapped in iron sheets and encountered an enemy warship, it would be possible to knock out a big hole when it rushed up.
"As soon as the construction was made, I sent someone to notify the lord that it had not yet entered the water."
Pu Yuan replied. To be honest, Pu Yuan and others waited for Wu Shun to come because they had no confidence in the launch of the warship.
Usually warships are flat bottoms, but this warship designed by Wu Shun is not.
Hearing that the warship model had not yet entered the water, Wu Shun guessed the general reason, but he didn't explain it.
"Then let's go into the water and let everyone see what this warship looks like after entering the water."
Wu Shun ordered.
With the order, the boatmen hurriedly dragged the model into the lake, and during this period they were careful to prevent the model from falling.
Hurry~
The model was pushed into the lake and floated steadily on the lake surface.
Pu Yuan and others widened their eyes and looked at it without blinking. The warship model did not fall into the water as they expected, but instead floated on the lake.
"Just follow this model and build a warship first. The power system of this model is not yet available. Pu Yuan, please take the boatmen and improve it, and consider the impeller I said."
Seeing that the model did not have a power system, Wu Shun recommended it to Pu Yuan.
"Lord, this warship is handed over to the subordinates."
Originally, Pu Yuan was somewhat skeptical about Wu Shun's design. However, the battleship model entered the water smoothly, which made Pu Yuan recognize Wu Shun's design ability.
"Okay, I'll leave the warships to you! My Yizhou navy now only has water camps and no warships. It's embarrassing to say it. Follow this idea and design more warships of different purposes."
Of course, a navy cannot have only one kind of warship. Multiple ships and cooperation in combat is as important as the cooperation between the army and multiple arms.
Wu Shun's attention to the navy made Pu Yuan foresee the strength of the Yizhou navy. He designed warships by himself, and he was so honored by the navy. Even the White Tiger Camp brought by Wu Shun himself only designed armor and weapons.
The power of the navy depends on the power of the new warship. According to Wu Shun's intention, the surface of the warship must be covered with iron sheets, and ordinary bows and arrows cannot be damaged at all.
Other naval forces have no idea how to deal with such goose bumps.
"Lord, please don't worry, the construction of the warship will be handed over to our weapons shop."
Pu Yuan was full of energy and directly represented the Weapons to capture the manufacturing of naval warships.
Because all the craftsmen in Yizhou are managed by Pu Yuan, no matter how big it is, the weapon shop will be responsible for a large war machine like warships or as small as an ordinary arrow.
Wu Shun was considering whether to subdivide the department of the weapon workshop and plan the people of different types of jobs in a unified manner. In this way, the efficiency of the artisans in the weapon workshop will undoubtedly be higher when they divide the work and cooperate.
