Zhao Wen listened to Mao Wenlong's words, his face showed excitement.
If this situation continues, Jianu will collapse from within within a few days.
Hmph, after I get rid of Zheng Yiguan, I'll uproot you all.
Now that Xuanzhen is going to build a railway, I am still worried that no one will come to repair it.
A bloodthirsty light flashed in Zhao Wen's eyes.
For Zhao Wen, it was time to uproot the entire Jiannu.
After all, the current Zhao Wen has completely controlled the entire Xuan Town in his own hands.
In addition to Xuanzhen, half of Shanxi also fell into his hands.
There is also the land in northern Henan, and now the Huaiqing Mansion in northern Henan has also fallen into his hands.
Now as long as Zhao Wen is willing, he can pull up an army of hundreds of thousands at any time.
In addition to this place, the Horqin tribe in the north is also constantly transporting war horses to Zhao Wen.
Now Zhao Wen has completed the formation of the mobile cavalry team of more than 2 people, and is now staying in Xuan Town for non-stop training.
Zhao Wen's wings have now been formed, and he is waiting for the moment when he will soar into the sky.
When Zhao Wen returned to the station, Zhao Wen found the stewards of the four shipyards.
Zhao Wen looked at these stewards and took out the 107 rocket launcher.
"I want you to install these things on the treasure ships. Each treasure ship has at least twenty, eight on the left, eight on the right, and two on the front and back respectively."
Zhao Wen pointed to the launch pad on the ground, and said to the four stewards standing in front of him.
The four stewards looked at the launch pads placed on the ground, and then at Zhao Wen.
One of the stewards wearing a blue T-shirt pointed at the launch pad and looked at Zhao Wen curiously, "My lord, what is this thing? How do you want to assemble it?"
Zhao Wen stood up from his chair and walked to the launch pad.
Zhao Wen patted the launcher, and said slowly: "Don't worry about what it is, I will draw a flow chart of the specific installation for you later.
At that time, you will install it according to the flow chart I drew. As for the location of the installation, it is up to you to decide.
Within three days, I hope you can all install it.
Remember, all around these launchers and the deck on the ground are covered with a layer of steel, and the space between the steel and the wooden deck is filled with cement. "
"We will bear in mind your lord's order, and we will definitely follow your lord's order."
"Don't worry, my lord, we will definitely install these things for you within three days."
The four stewards shouted at Zhao Wen in unison.
Zhao Wen nodded, and then asked them to wait outside.
After these went out, Zhao Wen asked someone to get a few pieces of rice paper and charcoal pencils, and he lay down on the table in the hall to draw.
A few quarters of an hour later, Zhao Wen took the blueprint and walked out.
The steward standing outside looked at Zhao Wen who came out, and hurriedly saluted Zhao Wen.
Zhao Wen nodded, and then handed the blueprint to one of them.
"Take this drawing yourself and install it according to the above process. If there is something that needs improvement, you can improve it yourself.
As for things, I will have someone deliver them to you tonight. "
"I'll take the order!" All the stewards bowed their hands to Zhao Wengong again, and then left with the blueprint.
After sending the stewards away, Zhao Wen headed for the open space where the weapons were stored.
Today there are eight treasure ships, and twenty launchers are installed on each treasure ship.
Those eight ships are 160 launchers. It is a physical labor to remove all the wheels for so many launchers.
Now Zhao Wen has only carried a dozen or so launchers outside, and the rest of the launchers will continue to be moved.
Zhao Wen looked at the soldiers standing by the open space, guarding their weapons, and greeted them to the launch pad.
"You guys will find another 200 people to come over, and after you find them, remove the wheels of these launchers."
Zhao Wen pointed to a few of them and said to them.
These soldiers clasped their fists at Zhao Wen, and then walked towards the depths of the garrison.
Zhao Wen pointed to the launchers in the open space, and said to the remaining soldiers behind him, "Now I will teach you how to remove these wheels."
As Zhao Wen said, he squatted next to a launcher, holding the supporting tools on the launcher in his hand, and began to dismantle the wheels.
There will be a repair box on each launcher for repairing the launcher, so Zhao Wen doesn't have to bother looking for tools.
There were about fifty soldiers surrounding Zhao Wen, and they watched Zhao Wen's operations intently.
After a while, the two wheels of the launcher were dismantled by Zhao Wen. Zhao Wen put the tool in his hand on the ground, looked at the soldiers surrounding him and shouted, "Did you see clearly?"
"My lord, we have seen clearly." The soldiers replied.
Zhao Wen nodded, and then said: "After the two hundred soldiers arrive later, you will give them the disassembly method, and these launchers must be disassembled.
In addition to these launchers, there are more than 100 launchers, and the wheels of these launchers must be disassembled. "
Zhao Wen patted the dust off his hands, then walked towards the edge of the open space.
When Zhao Wen walked to the edge, he stepped into the warehouse again.
After Zhao Wen came to the warehouse, he went directly to the warehouse of the 107 rocket launcher.
A few moments later, more than 100 launchers appeared in the open space.
These launchers plus the launcher that Zhao Wen got out before are enough to install on the treasure ship.
Because of the large number of people, the wheels of these launchers can be disassembled very quickly.
At dusk, Zhao Wen took the men and horses, and used a flatbed truck to pull these launchers without wheels towards the four shipyards.
Three days later, all launchers were installed on the treasure ship.
Zhao Wen took several personal guards, accompanied by the steward of the shipyard, to check the installation situation.
These launchers are riveted together by these craftsmen with an iron box. The iron box is nearly one meter high, one meter long, and one meter wide.
There is a thick iron shaft in the iron box, which is as thick as fifty centimeters. One end is connected to the base of the launcher, and the other end is connected to the groove reserved at the bottom of the iron box.
In this way, the launcher can be rotated 360 degrees.
An inch or so around the iron shaft in the iron box is isolated with iron sheets, which allows the iron shaft to rotate more quickly.
Except for the place near the iron shaft, the iron box is filled with solidified cement.
At the bottom of the iron box is a huge iron plate. The iron box and the bottom iron plate are cast together, so the two are extremely strong.
The iron plate and the deck are tightly riveted together.
A layer of cement about two inches thick was spread between the deck and the iron plate.
Around these launchers, as long as there are wooden products, they are either covered with a thick layer of cement, or wrapped with iron sheets mixed with cement.
With these iron plates and cement blocks, the wooden deck can be effectively protected when launching rockets.
The installed launcher Zhao Wen only removed the two fixed pillars in front, but did not remove the two rear ones.
At that time, the gunner who controls the launcher can lift the two pillars and rotate the launcher continuously.
After finding a suitable position, you can put the two pillars down and snap them together with the grooves left on the iron plate to prevent the launcher from shaking from side to side.
These launchers are installed about two meters away from the ship's side, and each launcher is about eight meters apart.
Zhao Wen kept nodding his head as he looked at the fixed launchers.
"It seems that you have also improved my assembly flow chart. You have done a good job, especially this iron box. The height is just right, exactly the same as when it had wheels." Zhao Wen looked at the The manager of the shipyard behind him kept praising him.
The steward looked flattered, "This is all designed by adults, we just improved it a little bit."
"It's your credit, it's your credit. You don't have to be humble in front of me. I will reward you for my merits. In the future, I will definitely reward you well." Zhao Wen patted the steward's shoulder and said earnestly.
"Okay, let's see here first today, and let the trained sailors board the ship tomorrow."
Zhao Wen looked at the craftsmen on the treasure ship who were installing the sails, heaved a sigh of relief, and then walked down the treasure ship.
"My lord, you haven't named these treasure ships yet."
When Zhao Wen walked under the treasure ship, the steward hurriedly said to Zhao Wen.
Zhao Wen turned his head and looked at the treasure ship behind him, and said slowly: "The matter of naming the ship must not be sloppy. Let me think about it again and talk about it tomorrow."
Mao Wenlong trained more than 3000 sailors for Zhao Wen, and these 3000 sailors could only make up the number needed for five treasure ships, so there were still three treasure ships without sailors.
Although there were only five treasure ships, Zhao Wen believed that with the five treasure ships and the powerful firepower on them, Zheng Yiguan could still be defeated.
In the station where Zhao Wen was located, there were sailors trained by Mao Wenlong for Zhao Wen.
So as soon as Zhao Wen returned to the station, he asked Zhao Daniu to pass on the news that he would be boarding the ship tomorrow.
All of a sudden, the entire station was in motion, preparing for tomorrow's boarding.

Chapter 297
It was just dawn the next day, and all the soldiers in the station, including the sailors trained by Mao Wenlong, assembled in the shortest possible time.
Zhao Wen looked at the assembled soldiers and shouted loudly: "Starting today, you will have a short training for seven days.
This training is to make you better familiar with the treasure ship. "
"I will obey your lord's order."
More than 4000 people looked at Zhao Wen and shouted magnificently.
Qi Qingtian looked at the high-spirited and imposing soldiers in front of him, his face was full of excitement.
"Take all the weapons and equipment in the station and set off!"
Zhao Wen pointed in the direction of the shipyard, and led the men and horses to get all the weapons and equipment in the open space onto the flatbed truck, and headed towards the shipyard under the drag of the horses.
Last night, Zhao Wen thought about it all night, and finally thought of names for the eight treasure ships.
These names are "Yangwei, Triumph, Tiger, Tianlong, Changhong, Blocking the River, Bahai, Riding the Wave."
Among the eight treasure ships, Yangwei is Zhao Wen's flagship, and the three treasure ships, Yanjiang, Bahai and Chenglang, are shelved in the shipyard.
After Zhao Wen picked up the names, he sent these names to the shipyard and asked them to write them on the hull with white paint.
The number of sailors in Zhao Wen's hands is insufficient, and he can only control five treasure ships.
The more than 1000 people brought by Zhao Wen were divided into five teams, with more than 200 people on each of the five treasure ships.
These more than 200 people control the weapons and equipment on the treasure ship.
Because Zhao Wen's fleet had just started, Zhao Wen did not finalize the captain of each treasure ship, but only selected an acting captain from among the 200 people.
In addition to the captain, a series of ship commanders such as the deputy captain were also selected from the sailors.
Because Zhao Wen's soldiers came from the north. Although they had also been on sea ships, their combat effectiveness was still incomparable to Zheng Yiguan's pirates who had been on the sea all year round.
So Zhao Wen wanted to let them get used to it for six or seven days.
Six or seven days may be a bit short, but the sailors on board are all experienced old sailors, coupled with advanced weapons and equipment, it is not bad.
In the afternoon, Zhao Wen stood on the roof of the treasure ship Yangwei. Holding a telescope, he looked at the calm sea and shouted loudly: "Command, raise the sails, set sail!"
Following Zhao Wen's order, the sailors on the treasure ship Yangwei slowly pulled up the anchor, and the sailors who controlled the sails shouted near the mast to slowly raise the twelve sails.
The sailor standing on the watchtower held two small flags in his hands, and kept sending flags to the treasure ship next to him.
In fact, in the Ming Dynasty, semaphore was already very developed, and it had already become a complete and rigorous language for sailing.
A few quarters of an hour later, the treasure ship Yangwei slowly left the dock.
Standing on the dock, Mao Wenlong looked at the moving treasure ship, his face full of regret.
"I really didn't expect to see this kind of scene one day. Let me ask you in the entire Ming Dynasty, who has the ability of Zhao Zongbing?" Mao Wenlong was full of excitement, standing on the dock, looking away with his hands behind his back. treasure ship.
"Yes, father, you are right. In my opinion, it is better to let Zongbing Zhao be the emperor. If Zongbing Zhao becomes the emperor, not only the whole Ming Dynasty will become extremely powerful, but even our Mao family will A rising tide lifts all boats."
