Duan Wu looked at the agreement and couldn't help frowning slightly, the most important thing about this agreement is whether they can repel the officers and soldiers within six months, more than 20,000 officers and soldiers are not a problem in his opinion, but it seems that it is a little difficult to say in six months.
At this time, Du Jia smiled beside him: "What, Uncle Mo Feiguo still has any questions about this, haven't you said it before, your Chu Wangfu has many generals, more than 100,000 soldiers under your command, and it is not easy to deal with 10,000 or 20,000 officers and soldiers."
Duan Wudao: "Of course it's not a problem to defeat them, but the six-month time limit is a bit too short, Jia Shao, can you be more accommodating?"
Du Jia said with a smile: "Uncle Guo's words are wrong, of course there must be a time limit, otherwise it will not be possible in ten or twenty years, even if we have time to wait, I am afraid that your Lord Chu will not have the patience, not to mention that with the strength of your army, if you can't take down such a few officers and soldiers within half a year, it will inevitably fall into the prestige of the King of Chu, Uncle Guo said but" Seeing that Duan Wu was still hesitating, Du Jia sneered and said: "I had good intentions, if Uncle Guo is still hesitant, then simply don't sign this agreement, when the time comes, we will retreat to Dongting Lake and play hide and seek with the officers and soldiers, I don't believe that they can help me, but it is best for your people from the King of Chu not to come over again in the future, so as not to look good on everyone's face." ” Shi Jin and those people hurriedly persuaded Duan Wu, and Duan Wu was provoked by Du Jia and the advice of those people, and immediately clapped his hand and said: "Okay, Jia Shao's words have been said to this point, then if I don't agree, it won't be enough for you, okay, I agree." ” After saying that, Duan Wu signed his name and stamped his seal on the agreement, and Du Jia did the same, and then the two of them smiled and shook hands, as if they had been friends for many years, and both sides seemed to feel that they had taken advantage of this agreement, but they didn't know who would have the last laugh.
After signing the agreement, Duan Wu immediately hurriedly took people away, he brought four or five thousand men and horses over this time to deter Yang Mi and them, and it was a little insufficient to deal with those officers and soldiers, of course, he had to go back and discuss with Wang Qing.
When everyone was gone, Yang Qi asked anxiously: "Jia Shao, why did you sign this agreement with this guy, although there are 10,000 officers and soldiers here, but Wang Qing has more soldiers under them, and the last general feels that the chances of winning are not great." ” Du Jia smiled calmly and said: "Brother Yi'er, this time you are afraid that you underestimate those officers and soldiers, I will sell it here first, and you will naturally understand my truth after six months." ” Seeing Du Jia's confident appearance, Yang Qi, Xia Cheng and the others couldn't help but nod their heads and went down to get busy, during these days, Du Jia had no last resort, and he was sure to be right in his words, and he had already convinced everyone in Dongting Lake.
Then Du Jia summoned Le He again, and asked him to quickly write two letters and send them back to Liangshan and Langya County respectively, and transferred the double whip Hu Yanzhuo and the blue-faced beast Yang Zhi to come here to help, and specially instructed Hu Yanzhuo to bring a thousand chain horses, as for Yang Zhi, he only needs to bring a thousand infantry.
Hua Rong was taken aback when he heard this, and said: "Jia Shao, are these officers and soldiers so powerful, they deserve your attention so much, and I rarely see you fight the enemy so seriously." ” Hua Rong said naturally not without purpose, this time Du Jia came to Dongting Lake with a total of ten leaders, in addition to the Ruan family and the Zhang family's five naval leaders, there are also the beautiful bearded man Zhu Tong, the winged tiger Lei Heng, Fang Xuedu, Hua Rong's four generals, all of them are skilled martial arts masters, not to mention that there is also Du Jia, the invincible commander, and now he has to transfer Yan Zhuo and Yang Zhi and two thousand people to come over, even when Du Jia went to fight Xuzhou, he never brought so many people.
Of course, Du Jia can't say that I would have considered Ding Yue Fei not easy to mess with, if he was defeated casually, how could the fierce and fierce Jin soldiers be embarrassed, and he still just smiled slightly: "When the time comes, Hua Zhizhai will know, if nothing else, Wang Qing's men will definitely not be able to defeat those officers and soldiers, and then it will be our turn to go out, and it will naturally not work if we don't prepare well." ” Although Hua Rong was strange in his heart, he didn't say anything when he saw that Du Jia was so sure, and the news quickly spread back, and soon after Wang Qing had already sent 100,000 taels of silver as promised, at this time Yang Qi suddenly mentioned to Du Jia that they had previously researched a kind of warship called a chariot boat, that is, various paddle wheels were installed on the boat, ranging from two to thirty-two, and each paddle wheel was equipped with eight blades.
The paddle wheel is connected to the rotating shaft.
The shaft is equipped with a stepping board, and the shaft runner also rotates.
"To make the boat retreat, just step in a similar direction.
In order to protect the paddle wheel from damage, there is a protective plate on the outside of the paddle wheel, which can avoid the paddle wheel from being damaged.
In addition, because the shaft was mounted at the bottom of the cabin, and the sailors stepped on it in the cabin, the soldiers on the wheel warship were not easily injured by enemy weapons.
In addition, the speed and flexibility of this kind of ship are far better than ordinary ships, and the only problem now is that Yang Qi and they can also build two-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles, and the more wheels there are, the more complex the structure will be, especially the most powerful thirty-two-wheeled vehicles and ships only exist in theory and drawings.
In addition, there is a disadvantage that this kind of ship is more complex due to the internal structure, so the cost is far higher than that of ordinary ships, especially the wheel of pulp is more cumbersome, basically the cost of two-wheeled vehicles and ships is equivalent to two ordinary boats, four four-wheeled ones, and the thirty-two wheels are the stunned thirty-two ships.
In his opinion, it is enough to build a thousand two-wheeled and four-wheeled ships in the future, and at the same time, it is necessary to be able to manufacture several eight-wheeled ships to be used as generals, and it is initially estimated that 30,000 taels of silver and more than 2,000 craftsmen are needed.
In this regard, Ruan Xiaoqi, Zhang Shun and others have also evaluated and tested, and they are also amazed by this kind of car and ship, and they have all suggested that Du Jia adopt Yang Mi's suggestion.
Du Jia smiled happily: "This is a great thing, why only now tell me how is it enough to only 30,000 taels of silver, it just so happened that Wang Qing sent 100,000 taels of silver, you all use it to use, and why as long as you build eight rounds, isn't there a better one, even if you research, don't think about money, if it's not enough, just look for me, with this boat, our position in Dongting Lake is as stable as Mount Tai, and I am willing to spend more money for this, in addition, Brother Zhang Shun, the little seventh brother, you also learn more, In the future, you can also bring it back to our water. ” Yang Qi, Xia Cheng, Ruan Xiaoqi, Zhang Shun and others were all overjoyed, and they immediately went down in high spirits, ready to do a good job, so as to live up to Du Jia's trust
