Jiang Fenglie and Ouyang Guanhou were all prepared. They rode a 2,000-stone Fu Ship-class warship. Except for the slightly larger than the Chen Yi ship captured by Zhao Lie, the pattern was similar. There were female wall battle grids, banners around the side, crossbow windows and spear holes, felt leather outside to prevent fire, and long-range weapons: cannon trucks and bed crossbows.

The boatman Jiajiang's white-clothed guards had as many as 100 people, all of whom were fully armed, and even the chef had a kitchen knife tucked around his waist.

"After I was safely sent to the Prime Minister to my destination, this warship was presented to Brother Zhao. I, Jiang, believed in my words and never broke my word." Jiang Fenglie's words were filled with strong pride.

Since it is his own ship, Zhao Lie naturally has to worry about it.

Zhao Lie paid special attention to the so-called cannon car, and Shi Yang explained in detail on the side. The so-called "cannon car" is actually a stone throwing machine. The Song Dynasty used human stone throwing machine, which was called "seven-shot cannon", "five-shot cannon" and "double-shot cannon" according to its power. Generally, warships are equipped with double-shot cannons, operated by ten people, and use human cables to shoot the stone bullets out.

Zhao Lie was disappointed. This thing has not even applied the most basic mechanical force. It is all based on human power, and it is too primitive. It seems that if you want to travel all over the world in the future, the standard equipment of warships: artillery, you must be made.

Shi Yang pointed to the hollow piers on both sides and said, "There were originally a camera stick here, but now it has been taken away. I guess it is to increase the speed. Should I ask them to put it back in the future?"

Zhao Lie shook his head, feeling indifferent. In his eyes, these so-called far-range and short-range weapons were all scumbags in front of the cannons. Now he doesn't want to install anything except the cannons.

If Zhao Lie wants the only thing he wants at the moment is gunpowder. Naturally, gunpowder is indispensable on this warship. After learning about Zhao Lie's request, Jiang Fenglie happily agreed to the three barrels of gunpowder on the ship, totaling 800 kilograms, and gave them all to Zhao Lie.

After Zhao Lie got the gunpowder, he handed it over to the Ding siblings, and asked the siblings to screen, purify, and prepare qualified black gunpowder according to the method they taught, and finally wet the legal equipment and seal it for later use. As for making bullets, I have to wait until I come back.

Ouyang Guanhou did not disappoint Zhao Lie. He brought the news he found: "Bagen, a hundred households in the Mongolian Tartars, is in Li Heng's army. Li Heng's army is mostly a seminar to explore the Ma Red Army. There are not many Mongolian people, and there are not many Mongolian people. There is one among them called Bagan. I wonder if Brother Zhao is looking for someone."

Zhao Lie specifically asked the siblings to be present to listen to the news together. To his surprise, although the siblings were hated, they did not express anything special, and they did not yell to take revenge. Zhao Lie secretly refused, what are the ideas for the siblings? Well, I have been waiting for so long, and I don’t rush to wait for the safe escort Wen Tianxiang to arrive, and then discuss with the siblings after returning.

On the second day of April, the sky is wide and the sea is flat, and sails are set sail.

Before leaving, Zhao Lie made the following arrangements: the Ding siblings temporarily took over the position of instructor and continued to train the youth tactical team. After completing the scheduled training plan, they could shoot live targets. Shi Yangliu continued to train the maritime team. Wang Ping'an assisted in managing the boatmen and Zhuang Ding. Before Zhao Lie returned, Shi Yang was responsible for all matters in Yashan.

"Guangya is not far away. It is as fast as ten days, and as slow as half a month, I will definitely return. Everyone is very careful. After returning, we will have two warships." Through inquiry, Zhao Lie found out the specific location of Guangya. It turned out that it was in the Yangjiang area of ​​Guangdong in later generations. From Jiangmen to Yangjiang, the sailing speed was as slow as three or four days, and it was more than ten or half a month.

As for protecting Wen Tianxiang, Zhao Lie alone, Ma Nanchun and novice Jue Yuan have obviously weak firepower. Therefore, Zhao Lie temporarily added two people to his tactical team: Jiang Fenglie and Ouyang Guanhou.

Although these two people didn't say much, how could Zhao Lie not see that they had a strong desire for guns.

If Jiang Fenglie had equated muskets with hidden weapons earlier, after receiving Yang Zheng's detailed report, he was completely shocked by the amazing power of this weapon. He asked himself that with the current warship, fifty white guards and dozens of ship workers, if he had fought with Chen Yi's three warships and two hundred pirates, he would have no chance of winning. However, with only eight people, he would not only win, but also destroy all the pirates.

"Such amazing results are all the power of muskets. This thing should be the nemesis of the strong bow and powerful cavalry of the Meng people." This is the final key point of Yang Zheng's report.

Jiang Fenglie now understood why Zhao Lie almost turned against him and refused to show such a weapon. If he were himself, he would have done that. Therefore, no matter how jealous he was, he did not mention the topics related to guns. But he did not mention it, Zhao Lie generously provided two weapons: one imitation black star and the other imitation revolver.

"First of all, these two guns are not for the two, but for the time being. Everything is for the safety of the Prime Minister. I will take them back after I come back. How about it?"

Jiang Fenglie, can Ouyang Guanhou still say that it is not possible? He cherishes it and hides it well, and then turns around and studies it. Zhao Lie is not afraid of others studying his own weapons. Even if he can figure out the principles of each component thoroughly, he will not think of creating a part without a machine.

To avoid Yuan army searches, the ships tried to sail towards the deep sea as much as possible, which would extend the range, but it was still worth it for safety measures.

During the voyage for several days, Zhao Lie felt strange that the prime minister of the Song Dynasty seemed to be very interested in him and kept asking about his origins indirectly. Although he respected this loyal minister who had been famous throughout the ages, he could only respond vaguely to his privacy.

Maybe they were cautious and careful to get rewards, maybe the Yuan army's patrol ship had not reached the deep sea, and sailed for five days without any danger. An escort trip seemed like going out to sea to play.

When he was idle, Wen Tianxiang, Zhao Lie, Ma Nanchun, Jiang Fenglie and others often lingered in the cabin, talking about the world, the story of the Song Dynasty, the story of the previous dynasty, etc. Most of the time, Wen Tianxiang said, Ma Nanchun added, Jiang Fenglie agreed from time to time, and sometimes he could even get in the mouth. Only Zhao Lie never spoke, and he was the only commoner here. Strangely, Wen Tianxiang would invite him to be the audience every time.

One day, when we talked about the famous officials of this dynasty's anti-Year Yuan, Li Tingzhi, the famous general of the Huai Army, Wang Jian, Zhang Yu, and Wang Li in Diaoyu City; from the Jiang clan to the folk bravery, from the Song people to the She people, such as Chen Jiuyan and Mrs. Xu, and finally, we also talked about the royal family.

Unlike the royal family members who were weak and incompetent when the Northern Song Dynasty destroyed the country, a large number of royal family members who bravely resisted the Yuan Dynasty emerged in the late Southern Song Dynasty, among which the royal family members were not a royal family member.

When Wen Tianxiang talked about the defeat of Kongkeng, in order to protect himself, Jiangxi recruited Deputy Envoy Zhao Shishang, and tears were touched.

Ma Nanchun talked about the Qiongzhou pacification envoy last year, and the royal family member Zhao and Luoli refused Yuan general Ali Hague, which caused the Yuan army to fail to land on the island for several months. In the end, he was defeated and was captured and killed by a car. He sighed endlessly.

Jiang Fenglie thought about Zhao Liangchun, an academic in Anjizhou who committed suicide twice and died for his country.

I still miss the loyal and fierce, and I keep my tears in my heart. I can’t resist my sadness for a moment.

Finally, Wen Tianxiang attacked the case with gaze: "In terms of loyalty and righteousness, one of our descendants can be said to be loyal and wise, and no one can surpass him."

Ma Nanchun and Jiang Fenglie looked at each other and said in unison: "King Xiu!"

Wen Tianxiang slapped the table and said, "It's the King Xiu's Sect." He paused his hand and glanced at Zhao Lie intentionally or unintentionally. The latter listened carefully, but his face was not abnormal.

Wen Tianxiang seemed to be immersed in his memories: "A descendant of King Xiu, Taizu of Emperor Xiu, served as the inspector of the southeastern routes in the second year of Deyou (1276), and was ordered to go north to Ruian Prefecture (now Wenzhou City) to fight against the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, Yu also went to Nanjianzhou (now Nanping, Fujian) to gather troops to fight against the Yuan Dynasty. He had been lingering with King Xiu in Fuzhou for several days and talked about state affairs. Unexpectedly, after this separation, he would be a permanent decision..."

Ma Nanchun continued: "At that time, Dong Wenbing, the marshal of the Yuan army, captured Chuzhou (Lishui) with tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and approached Ruian. King Xiu gathered 8,000 collapsed soldiers and vowed to defend the city to the death. A small school Li Xiong treason led the country to surrender to the enemy at night to attract Yuan soldiers. King Xiu's brother and Wu, and his nephew Meng Bei led all the streets to fight, and was shot and three arrows, and his blood flowed like a conspiracy to fight bravely, only seeking to die together in the country to see the late emperor, but he was eventually arrested for his strength. The same was arrested for the Ruian Observation Envoy Li Shifeng, King Xiu's brother Zhao Yuwu, the army supervisor Zhao Youge, the inspector Lin Wen and thousands of soldiers surrendered, all of whom died heroically."

Jiang Fenglie suddenly said: "There are rumors that he was executed and executed, and the nephew of King Xiu, 16-year-old Zhao Mengbei suddenly suffered heavy storms. The executioner hurriedly executed the punishment. The next day, the wind stopped and the rain stopped, and the remains of all the loyal and wise men were there, but Mengbei was not seen..."

Ma Nanchun smiled bitterly and sighed: "The people cannot bear to be loyal and good, so they often have words from gods and ghosts, and miracles are accompanied by things..."

The heroic deeds of King Zhao and King Zhao and the younger brother Zhao Meng, the younger brother Zhao Meng, the younger brother Zhao and the others were shocked, and everyone at that time knew it. When one person started, the rest could tell the story.

Zhao Lie may be an exception. He really didn't know that, so he could only listen silently and reach out to his eyes with one hand: "Zhao Yishi, the jade pendant on his chest can be convenient for viewing."

Of course there was no inconvenience. Zhao Lie took off the jade pendant and presented it to Wen Tianxiang.

Wen Tianxiang looked carefully for a while, gently wiped the tiny cracks on the jade pendant with his fingers, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then returned it to Zhao Lie. Zhao Lie noticed that Wen Tianxiang was holding his hands gently across the sleeves, and his expression was a bit respectful.

Zhao Lie felt aroused and was about to speak.

Ouyang Guanhou's warning suddenly came from outside the cabin: "There is a ship ahead, everyone is ready."
