Chapter 828 I'm really coming in

Suzaku Mountain

Xuanwu Lake Water Village

Andrew shook his head with some regret: "My respectful master, things don't look as simple as expected. It seems that it is not difficult to modify some warships now, at least much greater than expected."

Andrew looked back at the Huanglong Clippers behind him: "Take such a ship as an example, although it looks big, it is not suitable for installing artillery."

He gestured: "If artillery is installed on the side of the ship, the power of the artillery seating backwards will not be able to bear it at all. Maybe a solution can be found, but I have not thought of it yet. Although the warships of Ross were equipped with artillery when I came, they were only equipped with the bow and stern, and were not installed on the side, so I have no experience at all."

"but……"

His tone suddenly turned, and his eyes shone brightly at the giant docked near the trestle in the distance: "That! If you install a cannon, there is no pressure! There is no need to make too much changes. This ship is heavy enough to not tilt too much because of the recoil of the cannon."

"And those!"

He pointed to the giant ship: "If you calculate the recoil of the cannon and the bearing capacity of the ship, you can install artillery on such a large ship appropriately."

Andrew gradually recovered from his previous annoyance and pointed to the huge warships and said: "I have studied the artillery and shells of the Oplu Empire. The shells with extremely large explosive power are suitable for bombing buildings and can be installed on the bows, so that the navy can directly support infantry fighting on the shore, and large ships do not even need to dock. The shells with relatively strong penetration can be installed on the side."

Speaking of this, Andrew gradually became excited: "If possible, wrap a layer of iron on the outside of the Tenglong warship, and install a solid impact angle in front, it will be a perfect sea overlord. I have tried... covering two layers of fine fishing nets on both sides of the ship, and adding a layer of iron to protect it, with the power of the artillery now, the warship will not sink."

"This is the largest warship I have ever seen in my life. As long as it is modified, it will definitely sweep the enemy's navy."

“How long does it take?”

Fang answered the question.

"At least one year"

Andrew said: "Our workshop does not have a suitable mold and needs to be remade. Just making a fishing net with iron bars requires many craftsmen to start work at the same time. It would be good if it could be done within one year. As for wrapping the iron sheet, with the current ability, it is probably longer, after all, it has to start from scratch."

Fang Jie calculated the time in his mind, and estimated that he would not have to participate in the war for almost a year, so he nodded: "I will ask Sanjin Hou to arrange for the matter about craftsmen. Now you can make a list of what you need now, and I will see if I can help you as soon as possible."

"Thank you, Master!"

Andrew said excitedly: "I never thought that I could still complete such a work in my lifetime! This warship is so perfect. As long as it can be modified, I believe it can exert the power of all enemies to fear. However, the transformation of the warship still requires the cooperation of the navy, because I don't know much about the matter on the ship. This warship is already heavy enough, and the draft depth after the iron plate is installed will limit its waterway."

"I'll ask Zheng Qiu and Duan Zheng to help you, and then call up some experienced sailors in the navy, and discuss with the shipbuilders in the shipyard."

"That would be great!"

Andrew waved his fist: "The most difficult thing to renovate a sample ship. Once you find that reasonable road, it will be very easy to modify it in the future. However, my master, I suggest that you gather these people together and draw the latest drawings. The large ship built in the future will prepare all the things that need to be considered, and then directly create a warship suitable for installing artillery. Speaking of which, the Huanglong Clippers are already large enough, but because the hull is light and the ship is heavy, this means that the stability of such a warship is not good enough, so it is only suitable for sailing in the inland rivers. Once you enter the sea, you don't even need too much wind and waves to overturn it."

"My suggestion is to remove the tower above the boat."

Andrew said: "If you are willing to let the navy travel in the sea later, rather than just confined to inland rivers, the design of the warship must be changed."

"Would it be easier if I sent someone to the foreigners to catch a few craftsmen who know how to build ships?"

"That's the best!"

Andrew said: "The ships on our side are very different from those of the Han people. Ships that are much smaller than the Huanglong Clippers can cross the sea. There are many good places to learn from. Unfortunately, I don't understand this aspect very well. I have to come with professional people."

Fang Jie nodded: "Then catch a few back."

He turned to look at Chen Xiaoru: "Now, how many cavalry schools are Zuo Mingchan under his command in Mouping?"

Chen Xiaoru replied: "General Cui mobilized at least 300 people in Zhuqueshan Camp to support him. After his subordinates arrived, he left him with at least 120 elite troops. In addition, his original subordinates should have no less than 500. Among them, the masters of the Jingbu Camp were left to him."

"Let him catch a few foreigners who know how to build ships."

Fang Jie waved his hand and ordered as he walked: "I don't care what method he used. It's better to send a group of people back within three months. If there is not enough staff, draw elite troops from the Knight School. If you need a master, I will let Daozun Xiang Qingniu choose a group of people from the Jianghu guests under him!"

"Here!"

Chen Xiaoru hurriedly bowed his head: "I'll make arrangements now!"

...

...

The sunlight outside the window sprinkles in gently, outlining a layer of gold edges on a person's face. The curve is particularly soft, so it looks so quiet and peaceful. Next to the window is a recliner, a thick and soft stall, and Sang Sasa, wearing a loose robe and naked feet, lying on the chair, squinting his eyes slightly and enjoying the flying and caressing of the sun.

Fang Jie sat on the ground on one side, resting his head on her legs, and gently stroked her lower abdomen with one hand, as if he was afraid of frightening the elf in his sleep. It has been five months since Sang Sasa's lower abdomen has risen up a mellow mountain.

Fang Jie's hand gently brushed across it, and Sang Sasa's squinting eyes smiled on the corner of his mouth.

Fang Jie never thought about having a child before, because he was always afraid that he would leave the world inexplicably as if he had come to this world for no reason. If he suddenly left, then his women and children would have to face a very difficult life. In this world, he offended enough people. Now the person who wants to kill him can at least have a whole piece of paper, and with the threats in the dark, new names will be added to this list at any time.

Fang Jie always worried that if he left without warning, or finally exhausted his luck and was killed, what kind of hardships will women and children face?

However, when he learned that Sang Sasa had his child, the unspeakable sense of happiness made him put aside all his troubles and worries, leaving only satisfaction. He could feel that little life was growing in Sang Sasa's belly, and he was looking forward to the day when he met this little life.

"Have you figured out what kind of name to give him?"

Sang Sasa asked gently.

Fang Jie smiled: "I'm still so young now, don't rush to name it."

"I was suddenly curious. You ran away since childhood. How did your name come from? Who helped you get it?"

"Myself"

Fang Jie pointed to the tip of his nose: "Of course I chose such a nice name myself, but the word Jue Xiao was thought of by Xiao Yao. Maybe at that time, she also hoped that I would understand everything as soon as possible, so she thought of the two words Jue Xiao. As for the explanation..."

Fang Jie was silent for a while and smiled: "Don't I hope to solve all the mysteries?"

Sang Sasa gently stroked Fang Jie's forehead, as if he felt his helplessness and sadness at that time: "Don't think about the past anymore. People always have to keep looking forward instead of looking back. If you look back too much, you will easily feel sad. By the way... I thought of a name myself when I was fine. What do you think?"

She turned her head and looked at Fang Xie: "If it is a daughter, it is called Fang Ning. If it is a boy, it is called Fang Tan."

"Ning...Tan..."

Fang Jie murmured and smiled: "These two words are very good, especially good. Just follow you. If you are a daughter, call it Fang Ning, and if you are a son, call it Fang Tan."

"Just like it."

Sang Sasa smiled, and the corners of her mouth were filled with happiness that could not be described in words. Perhaps only a pregnant woman could feel her mood at this time. She originally regarded inheritance as her mission, but now that this mission is combined with the person she loves, the satisfaction and happiness are beyond words.

"I guess you're here!"

Wanyan Yunshu jumped in from outside the door, holding a large string of wild fruits with unknown names in his hand. It was already winter, and only in a warm place like the southwest can you find wild fruits.

“Extremely delicious.”

She peeled off one of the wild fruits and stuffed them into Fang Jie's mouth, then blinked at Sang Sasa: ​​"Sister Chen and Sister Mu both said that women cannot eat randomly when they have children, so they can only greed for you."

Fang Jie swallowed the sweet and juicy fruit, smiled and asked, "Why are you so happy today?"

"I received my brother's letter."

Wanyan Yunshu smiled and said, "He said that the people of the Northern Liao Dynasty live very well in the northeast of the Great Sui Dynasty. Because the war has not yet affected the Northeast, the people of the people quickly adapted to their new life. They have now learned to farm, build houses, raise pigs and sheep, and grow flowers. The most important thing is that the people in the Mu Mansion did not make things difficult for them, but provided a lot of help. The brother said that the head of the Mu Mansion and the father have now become good friends and have a good relationship."

Fang Jie also laughed: "This is indeed a good thing."

But soon, he seemed to think of something and frowned slightly: "The people in the Mu family have a close relationship with your tribe members?"

"yes"

Wanyan Yunshu said happily: "The brother's letter said that they are living well now. The people from the Mu Mansion give them seeds, give them fertile land, and even help them build their homes. The brother said that the people in the Mu Mansion are particularly friendly. A while ago, the father and the head of the Mu Mansion became sworn brothers, and the tribe members celebrated for three days and three nights!"

A trace of worry flashed in Fang Jie's eyes, but it did not show it: "That's good, as long as your tribe members can live a stable life, it's enough."

He got up and rubbed Wanyan Yunshu's hair: "You accompany Sasa, I'll go out in advance and come back later."

...

...

Fang Jie called Chen Xiaoru to come and asked, "Have you sent people to Dongjiang to set off?"

"I'm preparing to go tonight."

"Pick a few smart people to come to see me and ask them to send a letter to the place where the people of Bei Liao now live to Wanyan Chongde."

Fang Jie frowned: "The people in the Mu family are afraid that they don't have any kindness... The people in the Northern Liao Dynasty have the simplest nature. Once they determine who they are friends with, it will be difficult to change. Most of the people in the Mu family have seen this point. I must remind Wanyan Chongde that the friendship shown by the Mu family... I am afraid it is all because of the unparalleled combat power of the Han Qi!"

Chen Xiaoru's face changed: "Mu Mansion... is really coming in?"
