Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 865 Extraordinary Bravery
"How is this possible??"

"You're going to be a prince???"

Han Xin's eyes widened. Looking at the content in the newspaper, he couldn't believe it. Why is his little granddaughter going to be a prince? ?A few days ago, he even wrote a letter to himself, complaining about some of his friends being arrested.

Why is it that within a few days, he will become a prince and king of the Han Dynasty.

Han Xin picked up the map of the sea area in front of him, and looked through it carefully. Funan Country, Funan Country, Han Xin found the exact location, and then began to analyze it. He marked several places with his fingers, and then put these The places are connected. "

Han Xin looked at his results and nodded with satisfaction, "This territory is pretty good, the location is very good, and the most critical positions in Kaihai are basically in our hands. Unfortunately, there is no strategic depth, and it is easy to be broken by people... Well, If you want to build a defensive circle, you should start from this ring..."

Han Xin began to draw on the map, and immediately became busy.

Zhou Shengzhi, who came in to report on the work content, saw the busy Taiwei, and didn't dare to disturb him easily. He just stood aside and watched Han Xin writing hard, but he didn't quite understand what Han Xin was doing.

Zhou Shengzhi just saw that Han Xin drew three circles on the map, one inside the other. Looking at the circles, Zhou Shengzhi couldn't help grinning, but Han Xin seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, and asked directly. Said: "What are you laughing at?!"

Zhou Shengzhi was startled, and hurriedly lowered his head, "It's nothing."

"to be frank."

"Lieutenant, your circle drawing is too crooked. Why don't you let me draw it? My drawing is very round and beautiful... Your crooked drawing doesn't look like a circle at all, it doesn't look like any figure at all... ..."

Han Xin's expression suddenly became a little complicated. He looked at his own map, then at Zhou Shengzhi, "Drawing a circle?? Naigong, this is a defense line drawn according to the surrounding islands... You can't even understand this? ? Are you still the general of Dahan Louchuan?? Are you still going to fight???"

Zhou Shengzhi's expression suddenly became a little unnatural, he scratched his head, and said with an embarrassed face: "I'm confused, it's not that I don't understand, it's because I didn't have a good rest yesterday, I didn't see clearly..."

Han Xin didn't say anything, just shook his head, he was busy on the map again, but this time he marked a few places, and drew a symbol of an anchor here, Zhou Shengzhi understood it this time of.

According to the current military map of the Han Dynasty, this kind of mark refers to the military port. Zhou Shengzhi can see it very clearly. Is the Taiwei planning to set up a military port in South Vietnam? ?Why are they all gathered on this peninsula...

Han Xin stroked his beard and laughed, "In this way, you will be safe. Well, it's a good place, although it's a bit far away from Nanyue Kingdom."

As Han Xin spoke, he sat down in his original seat. He raised his head, looked at Zhou Shengzhi, and asked him why he came.

Zhou Shengzhi replied hastily: "Taiwei, Yafu asked me to tell you that he said that he has traced all the way to South Vietnam, and all the powerful along the coast have not been pardoned. Once they are found to be related to water thieves, all of them will be killed. The same goes for officials."

Han Xin pursed his lips, "Why did this guy become so decisive and ruthless? He killed all the way from Langya County to Funan without stopping. Now that the killing is over, let him go back to Chang'an. Back then I So I summoned him and wanted him to go back to Chang'an, but for some reason, this guy refused to go back and went off to kill again."

Zhou Shengzhi responded hastily, and Han Xin said again: "I have to go back too."

"What is the captain doing back home?"

Zhou Shengzhi asked in a daze.

"I think the navy can't continue to train in Langya. It can't be practiced in actual combat here. When I return to the temple this time, I want to report to the emperor and ask to practice the navy in Funan and other places. This place is relatively close to Anxi and other places. Practical hard work...."

Zhou Shengzhi took the order again.

"When I'm not here, you keep an eye on the situation here, don't neglect!"

"only!!!"

When Han Xin was about to set off to return, the crown prince had already set off. The crown prince also left several important guests behind, and he hurried to Chang'an with Lei Bei and Wu Bei.

The purpose of the two is almost the same.

........................

Han Xin also said that the prince had not returned to Chang'an, but Xia Houzao had already taken his family to Funan in a hurry, and the princess could not see him. Xiahouzao left in a hurry, took his family and left, leaving only a lonely The famous Xia Houci continued to study in Chang'an.

And Liu Chang is also very comfortable in the near future, and he doesn't pay much attention to the government. Many things are almost all handed over to the ministers. He claims that he is to observe the people's sentiments. The ministers know that the emperor probably went hunting in Shanglinyuan. up.

It's just that the officials didn't know. In fact, in recent days, the emperor has been in the Shangfang mansion and has not gone to other places. Not many people know the news. Although Liu Chang doesn't care, the emperor's itinerary, In general, it still has to be kept secret.

Liu Chang stayed in Shangfang Mansion for five consecutive days. The reason why he stayed here for so long involved a secret that could not be known to outsiders.

Inside the Shangfang Mansion, there are secrets everywhere. The technology and research progress used in the Shangfang Mansion are actually decades ahead of those outside the Shangfang Mansion. This is not a joke. The Shangfang Mansion began to use cement for construction ten years ago. , but until now, cement has gradually spread to the outside world.

Including glass windows, all kinds of protective clothing, exquisite gloves, various precise experimental instruments, etc., these things are absolutely never seen by outsiders. When some new things are invented, they are usually first invented by Shang Fang. Experiments are carried out inside, and only when they feel that they are completely practical will they be spread. Therefore, there are many inventions that the outside world knows nothing about. Only when Shang Fang takes the initiative to leak them out, they will understand.

But today, Chen Tao led eight Shangfang master craftsmen to carry out the latest experiments in this courtyard with extremely high walls under the watchful eyes of the emperor.

I saw a strange machine in the middle of the courtyard. The whole body of the machine was made of steel, and there were all kinds of complicated and precise machinery on it, which was dazzling. The faces of the craftsmen were mostly excited, and Chen Tao stepped forward. , poured the water in his hand into the tank, and then started a series of operations, including igniting the machine and helping to turn the gears. Liu Chang stood not far away, watching them intently.

The reason why Liu Chang stayed in Shangfang for so long was because Chen Tao and others made another breakthrough in the steam engine. According to Chen Tao's words, he was able to use the steam as the initial power to make the machine move! ! !

Hearing this sentence, the first thing Liu Chang thought of was the train.

If Chen Tao can make the steam engine and the train, what rest do he worry about? ?This road paves the train, and it will go directly to Rome for you...
As the craftsmen continued to heat up, the machine suddenly let out bursts of roars and billows of black smoke, and under the blessing of this force, the arms on both sides of the machine suddenly started to rotate, and the speed became faster and faster. Faster and faster, Chen Tao widened his eyes and almost roared.

The hearts of the craftsmen seemed to be blocked in their throats, their eyes were red, and they looked at the steam engine excitedly. Liu Chang was also very excited, but looking at the constantly shaking steam engine, Liu Chang quickly realized that something was wrong. Come faster? ?not good! !
"Watch out!!!"

Liu Chang stretched out his hand suddenly, grabbed Chen Tao, and jumped out with him. In a moment, the steam made a huge explosion sound, and some parts flew out, almost hitting the craftsmen around.

After a while, Liu Changfang released Chen Tao from his arms, and looked at the craftsmen around him.

Those craftsmen who were so excited that they were about to roar just now, their faces are full of disappointment, and their faces are full of exhaustion. These days, they are almost working without eating, drinking or sleeping. This machine is built.

Just when they thought they were successful, they failed again, this time even worse, the machine exploded directly, which shows that the manufacturing process needs to be revised again, to find out the cause of the explosion and analyze various hidden dangers.

Looking at the disappointment on the faces of many craftsmen, Liu Chang asked with a smile, "Masters, are you okay?"

Chen Tao let out a long sigh, as if he just came to his senses, he hastily pleaded guilty to Liu Chang, "Your Majesty, the minister is incompetent, once again he has failed His Majesty's high expectations. Your Majesty has been here with us for five days. Still failed..."

"The minister wasted money, failed His Majesty's high expectations, and failed many times. Please punish the minister for his crimes!!!"

Looking at Chen Tao who was facing his luggage, Liu Chang just shook his head and helped him up. Liu Chang said helplessly, "How can you blame this? Even if others don't understand, how can I not?" Do you understand the difficulty of this?"

"Don't worry, since you have turned the machine, it shows that your idea is feasible. The power generated by boiling water is enough to make such a huge machine move. Think about it, this will completely change the big man, even change the world!"

Liu Chang took Chen Tao's hand excitedly, "I'm not in a hurry, I can afford to wait, if I can do this, I'm not too far away from success, you can keep trying, I'm waiting for you to make this machine , the new impetus has a huge impact, and the test situation in the short term must not be leaked!"

"only!!!"

"Take me to see the second product."

Chen Tao nodded, gave some instructions to the people on the left and right, and left here with Liu Chang. The steam engine is currently the most important experiment in Shangfang, and it is the No. [-] experiment. The people who can really contact and conduct research are in Shangfang. No more than ten.

As for the No. [-] product, it is of course also very important. In fact, the No. [-] product is a cannon.

During these days, Shang Fang has increased the power of gunpowder many times, from something that could only scare people at the beginning, to a weapon with real lethal and destructive power, and then began to be widely used in the military field.

The first is the firearm. Shangfangfu designed the first-generation firearm. In fact, that thing should not be called a firearm, but a firecracker. However, no matter how you call it, the internal principle of this thing is the same. The energy released by gunpowder is used to push the bullet. Shooting, but the muskets that have spread outside are not practical. Mainly speaking, the speed of fire is not as good as that of a bow, its power is not as good as that of a crossbow, and its range is not as good as that of a bow. So what do you need this musket for?To scare wildlings? ?
However, the progress of Shang Fangnei's muskets has actually reached the point of precise killing within [-] steps, and the power is not bad when they are released side by side. It's just that Liu Chang didn't let everyone completely tie their brains to the muskets and let them try to do it. other new weapons.

Immediately, throwing weapons like grenades appeared, using fuzes to kill, and later, artillery appeared.

The principle of this cannon is not much different from that of a musket, but there are many things to worry about. If the musket explodes, the experimenter may lose his hands, and if the cannon explodes... the experimenter may lose it.

No one dares to underestimate this thing.

Liu Chang has been continuously providing Shangfang with various artillery design drawings. Liu Chang hopes that Shangfang can make this thing out sooner. Once this thing comes out, the siege battle will become extremely easy. There will be earth-shaking changes, and most importantly, the navy has the capital to challenge the world.

Think about the big man's big boat, equipped with fifty artillery pieces like this, and then drive to the enemy's port, and start the artillery baptism towards the enemy's city, what kind of picture will it be, think about it and feel refreshed .

The Han water army has always lacked this kind of sharp weapon for water warfare. Once the large-scale artillery research is completed, the water thief will only have to run away when they see the water army again.

Liu Chang followed Chen Tao to watch several experimental products, all of which were absolute secrets that had never been released to the outside world. Looking at these things, Chen Tao's mentality eased a lot, and he was no longer as desperate as he was just now.

In fact, Liu Chang can quite understand Chen Tao. This person has been studying for many years, and he fails every day. He can persist until today. His perseverance is really strong, stronger than many, many people. Anyway, Liu Chang felt that he would not be able to do this. If he had failed so many times, he would have set fire to this place long ago!

Thinking of these, Liu Chang's respect for Chen Tao increased a lot.

"Mr. Chen, these new inventions for military and civilian use, after they are perfected, will definitely allow the big man to develop rapidly again. With that cannon, hahaha, I will see who will dare to rob the big man's ships in the future. I won't blow him up!!"

Chen Tao said seriously: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I will definitely build this steam engine. It is feasible to use steam as power. Today's experiment proves this. As long as there is enough steam, everyone will be like that." The guys can move, Your Majesty can rest assured to wait for the news in the palace, within a year, I will definitely finish it!!!"

Chen Tao swore again, Chen Tao had made this oath for ten years, but Liu Chang still accepted it with a smile, and did not open his mouth to mock.Liu Chang knows how difficult this thing is, especially with such a rough machine today, let alone a year, even ten years, Liu Chang can afford to wait.

When Liu Chang came out of Shangfang Mansion, he looked a little tired, and when he got into the car, Lu Lu hurriedly took him to the direction of the palace.

The emperor hadn't rested for several days. He stared at the craftsmen all day long and accompanied them to experiment. Lu Lu also felt sorry for the emperor. He didn't bother Liu Chang, and drove to the palace quietly and steadily.

As soon as the carriage arrived at the gate of the palace, another carriage came out of the palace in a hurry and passed by Lu Lu.

The driver was Wei Wenjun. At this moment, he nodded and saluted helplessly towards Lu Lu. Then he waved his whip and went away. Lu Lu was dumbfounded. Isn't that my carriage? ?Are all car thefts so arrogant these days?You actually nodded to me? ?
Of course, Lu Lu did not send anyone to intercept him, because he knew very well who was sitting in the carriage... He looked at the sleeping emperor, and decided not to wake him up. They give an explanation!
Liu Yan in the carriage said with a smile at this moment: "You are really brave, the person in the carriage is definitely Father, do you believe it?"

Wei Wenjun sighed and nodded, "I believe, Your Highness, the prince will be back soon. I still have a lot of things to do in this mansion. Why do you insist on me driving you?"

"Why, you don't want to?"

Wei Wenjun smiled, "Not really..."

Liu Jing rolled his eyes at him, and said: "The widow asks you to do something. This is to appreciate you. You are doing something for me now, and you will go to Funan with me in the future. I will make you a chancellor and govern Funan for me. Isn't that very good?"

Wei Wenjun couldn't bear it anymore, "Your Highness, don't want to learn from King Xia! Whatever Your Highness needs, His Majesty will definitely prepare for it. You don't need your Highness to be so lucky. As for me, I don't ask His Highness to grant you a seal." If you are a prime minister, just make me a queen."

"Your Majesty went out to fight and govern the country, and I can stay in the harem, take care of the children, and watch the flowers and the moon every day. Isn't it very comfortable?"

Hearing Wei Wenjun's words, Liu Jing also laughed, "If you have this intention, let's talk about it, I will take care of the outside, and you will take care of the inside. From now on, you will be my wife, and I will be your lover! "

The two started joking, and Wei Wenjun temporarily let go of his usual caution. He smiled and said, "I'm not that easy to marry. If Your Highness wants to marry me, he needs to be given a hundred pieces of finery and fifty fine horses." Horses, ten good cars, and gold and beautiful jewelry..."

Liu Jie shook her head hastily, "The money to marry one of you is enough for me to marry ten! You have to spend less..."

Soon, the carriage stopped near the destination.

The destination of the princess is Taixue. When Wei Wenjun helped the princess get out of the car, it immediately attracted the attention of these Taixue students. Soon, Taixue students came here from all over the place, wanting to see the princess elegant demeanor.

The princess is not as delicate as an ordinary woman at all. She raised her head with a straight face, put her left hand on the hilt of her sword, and was dressed in hunting clothes. She was very heroic, her eyes were sharp, and she looked around. Few people dared to compete with her. She looked at each other and lowered their heads.

Even those sacrificial wines in Taixue couldn't help but sigh with emotion at this moment: What a heroic queen! ! !
