Qin Shucheng ordered to come in quickly.Soon a man will arrive with a carriage.Seeing that it was Lao Qiu, another person got out of the car, it was Xiaozhan.

It turned out that Zhang Qing had written to Lao Qiu a few days ago, asking him for a lot of medicinal herbs and patent medicines, and enclosed 300 taels of silver with the letter.Lao Qiu exhausted everything, and searched everywhere, and brought a cart full of herbs and patent medicines that Zhang Qing needed.Xiaozhan said that he missed his brother too much after not seeing him for a long time, so he followed.Zhang Qing was overjoyed and quickly let them into the house.

In the evening, the four happily ate dinner and sat chatting.Lao Qiu and Xiaozhan didn't ask much about military affairs, they just talked about the scene of their farewell.Zhang Qing wanted to go out with him, feeling a sense of parting from life and death in his heart, but he didn't make up his mind, so he didn't say anything.

When sleeping, Zhang Qing spread the quilt, knelt on the bed and watched Qin Shucheng sit in front of the bed and take off his shoes.Qin Shucheng's big feet were more than a foot long. This man stood upright, shielding himself from the wind and rain. Was he ever afraid?Hard times?Who will shelter him from the wind and rain?Zhang Qing thought about scratching Qin Shucheng's back with his fingers, then put his hands under his armpits, stretched out to hug him, and pressed his face against his back.

Qin Shucheng took off his shoes, socks and clothes, turned around and went to bed, hugged Zhang Qing and rubbed his lips against his face, asking, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

Zhang Qing shook his head and said: "No. I want to go with you. I don't want to wait around at home. Besides, I'm not useless at all. I've learned a lot and never eat for nothing. I want to be a useful man, don't I Worse than those female soldiers?"

Qin Shucheng didn't speak after hearing this.Picking up Zhang Qing's hand and looking through it, there are thin calluses and small scratches on the slender fingers and palm.When I touched my body, my muscles became firmer and my face was tanned.

Qin Shucheng almost never judged Zhang Qing with the eyes of a man and a comrade in arms.Although she loves him and is even willing to die for him, she never imagined that he would fight side by side with her, like Lu Shuai, Lin Qi, or even Hong Qiu, to kill the enemy together, triumph or fail together.In my impression, this beautiful man should be protected, pampered, suppressed behind him!It can be said that in Qin Shucheng's heart, Zhang Qing is not qualified to stand on the same line with him.

Now he asks to stand side by side with him like a real man, to face the wind and rain, and face life and death together.This once weak man is trying to keep up with himself, so hard that he is almost covered in bruises.

Qin Shucheng hesitated.Zhang Qing didn't speak any more, just looked at him.

After half a stick of incense, Qin Shucheng raised his head, held Zhang Qing's shoulders with both hands, and said solemnly: "I promise you."

Zhang Qing burst into tears at this moment.It worked!He threw himself into Qin Shucheng's arms and kissed him actively.It was still biting cold outside the window, but inside the house was warm as spring.Two perfectly compatible people are truly united, from body to mind.

Ten days later, Xiaozhan received a letter, which was brought by Zhang Qing.The letter said that he went on an expedition with Brother Qin, and asked Xiaozhan to take care of himself, take care of the shop and home, and come back after the war to live a good life and earn money.He was still waiting for Xiaozhan to get married and have a little nephew.Little tears welled up all at once.elder brother!

At this time Zhang Qing was standing on the deck of a huge warship, sniffing the salty hunting sea breeze, watching the snow-white jellyfish floating in the blue water, the transparent umbrella skirt was like the dress of a fairy in the sky, and the long tentacles were like The fairy streamer moves with the water and has a beautiful shape.

Looking at the floating jellyfish, Zhang Qing knew that this beautiful creature was extremely poisonous.Looking up at thousands of sails racing and white waves patting the boats, I also know that this is not for tourism but for war and murder.

It seems that I still think of the deafening sound of Wanjun's swearing-in, and the swearing-in wine I drank is still in my mouth, with a little bit of bitterness and a little bit of hotness.Zhang Qing wasn't excited at all, he wasn't as excited as the other soldiers who were involved in defending the country and eradicating the villains. He was just doing it for his loved ones, just to live and die together.Because of the uncertain future and the imminent possibility of death, although I was calm, I was still a little scared and depressed, but I felt relieved when I thought about dying and dying with the one I love.

"My lord, it's windy outside, let's rest in the cabin." A cloak was lightly draped over Zhang Qing.Looking back, it was Liu Qing.Now that Lin Qi has been promoted to lieutenant general, Qin Shucheng gave Zhang Qing the other two most powerful personal soldiers around him to serve him personally, and ordered them to protect each other with their lives.Zhang Qing knew that when going overseas, the food and grass for the personnel were carefully calculated, and everyone took on several positions to minimize consumption.So Qin Shucheng's arrangement was originally not acceptable, but Qin Shucheng said that letting him go to sea with him was a big concession, and other conditions were ignored!Zhang Qing had no choice but to accept, and arranged these two personal soldiers into the medical soldiers.

Zhang Qing went down to his own small cabin, where there were half-exposed cabin windows, and the light was not bad.Their medical department is at the rear of the main ship, together with Hong Qiu's female soldiers, separated by wooden boards.Those girls knew Zhang Qing very well. The boat had been sailing for five days, and they often came to talk to him, asking for ointment or something.Every part of the ship has its own duties and places, and no one is allowed to wander around without permission, so Zhang Qing feels a little bored. For the time being, there is only a small world from his cabin to the deck. No one is injured or sick, just follow the old The military doctor swayed, and other than that, he practiced swordsmanship on the deck with sandbags tied.

Qin Shucheng was not on the main ship, and when he took time to visit Zhang Qing, Zhang Qing told him not to come if he had nothing to do, Qin Shucheng smiled and agreed, and before leaving, he had a hard meal, saying that he would withdraw part of the interest in advance, and wait until the battle was over Then calculate the general ledger.The soldiers came in to help tidy up the cabin, but Zhang Qing leaned against him blushing because he was still limp and unable to move, not daring to look at anyone.

Master Hong was on the main ship, afraid that Zhang Qing would be bored, but he would come to see Zhang Qing when he was free, and told his daughter to take good care of him.He also took the time to tell him about the warship, Zhang Qing loved to hear it.

It turned out that there were a total of 790 large ships in this trip, and except for one main ship, there were [-] nine large ships.There are two thousand small boats of various functions.

The large ships are all cone-shaped at the front and square at the rear, which is easy to move forward in the sea. It is eight feet long and one foot five wide.The hull is made of fir, camphor, nanmu, pine, etc. The deck is made of fir, and the size is considered good, and it fits perfectly.

In terms of anti-sinkability, combined with previous experience, up to ten watertight cabins were boldly adopted. Fist-sized water holes were left near the keel of the bulkheads, and the hooks between the bulkheads were very tight.The bottom plate of the ship is filled with greasy material made of hemp silk, tung oil and lime, and the watertightness is very high.During operations, patrols, and reconnaissance, once the hull of a warship is damaged by the enemy, collided, or hit a rock, after one or several cabins are flooded, it still has a certain reserve buoyancy and stability, and will not capsize. , there will be no excessive heel and trim, and sufficient nautical performance and combat performance can still be maintained.

In order to fight against greater sea waves and increase the combat capabilities of marine soldiers, according to the ideas provided by Zhang Qing, every [-] large ships are locked together and fastened with huge messages. In case of danger, just turn the winch to open the messages. Separated, disassembled into individual battleships.Together, it is a huge island, and each warship can be combined freely, and can also fight alone.

Zhang Qing bit his tongue and said with a smile: "No wonder it looks like a big island. It turns out that every ship is so big, so the chances of winning this time must be higher than usual."

Hong Junshi nodded and said: "This time, in addition to improving the technology, the materials used in the shipbuilding are the best, and there will be no mercy for those who cut corners. Therefore, the quality has been greatly improved."

The eight hundred ships were commanded by Lu Shuai, Qin Shucheng and several other senior generals.In addition, several generals transferred from the Northern Army were responsible for participating in the land battle.Of the [-] troops, only [-] are sailors, and the rest are all elite troops.After half a year of training, he has been able to perform proficiently on a big ship, and no one is seasick anymore.

The oarsmen work in shifts day and night, and even if the big ships are chained, they can still keep their movements consistent through a special whistle.

In addition, each ship is specially equipped with a wellhead and a treadmill at the foot of the ship. The well plate is suspended high but leads directly to the sea. It is usually closed, and a large amount of water can be taken for fire fighting in an emergency.

There are a total of ten supply ships, which are placed in each fleet.There is also a kind of hollow ship, surrounded by decks, the middle is empty, decorated with camouflage, it looks like a deck, but in fact it will fall into the water as soon as you step on it.Soft boat, the side of the boat stretches out, and when you step on it, it folds down and falls.Specially used to lure the enemy.

There are also various small boats, which are responsible for various tasks, and are used to spy on the military situation, deliver supplies, deliver messages, or participate in sneak attacks and so on.

Zhang Qing listened fascinated, and worshiped such a great creation.In order not to cause trouble for Qin Shucheng, he never wandered outside in the past ten days, but just lived in this small place, so even though he spent many days on the big ship, he was still at a loss about the ship's structure and facilities. It wasn't Hong Junshi's explanation, even if he was killed, he wouldn't know it was so complicated.In fact, Hong Junshi only chose to explain it to him in an easy-to-understand manner, and Zhang Qing couldn't understand the more confidential techniques, but he was entrusted by Qin Shucheng to relieve Zhang Qing's boredom.

In the evening, the ship was sailing on the vast sea. Because it was getting dark, it had already broken down. There was still some time before dark. In order to prevent the officers and soldiers from getting too bored, the army organized competitions for each ship. Anyone can participate. , performances are also available, and competitions are also available.

Zhang Qing was on the main ship with the most people, and Hong Qiu and the female soldiers couldn't come out easily in their own cabins, so Master Hong pulled him to relieve the boredom.Hundreds of big men huddled in a circle on the deck.The sky was burning with clouds like fire, the waves underfoot were loud, and seabirds with white wings and red beaks were singing and flying around in groups, landing on the deck from time to time.Standing outside the circle, Zhang Qing watched the officers and soldiers talking and laughing loudly, dancing with swords and guns, wrestling and fistfighting, and seeing the bangs and bangs on the deck of the tough men with sweaty faces, he was very envious.

Just watching with relish, suddenly a soldier shouted loudly: "Doctor Zhang also knows sword skills, wouldn't it be great to invite him to dance swords?" Zhang Qing saw that he recognized the soldier who had seen a doctor.Just as he was about to resign, the crowd roared and shouted: "Doctor Zhang, come here! Doctor Zhang, come here!"

Seeing that he couldn't escape, he went back to the cabin and changed into tight clothes, took his sword and came up.Everyone made a gap and let him pass while clapping their hands in unison.Zhang Qing stood in the middle of the field, dressed in black, tight and neat, starry eyes and red lips, as if covered with a blush under the setting sun, everyone was stunned, and the crowd fell silent.

Except for the scabbard, Zhang Qing lifted up like a flying swallow.Slowly dancing, gradually speeding up, like a group of beautiful black clouds in the snowy sword light, tossing and moving, flying up and down, light like a purple swallow, fast like a spring breeze, occasionally mixed with a shout, the voice is as clear as a grinning spring.

After dancing for two sticks of incense, Zhang Qing's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and he slowly stopped and closed his hands, pressing the sword to stop.After a while of silence, the crowd burst into applause.It doesn't matter how good Zhang Qing's sword skills are, the key is to be pleasing to the eye.Not everyone can see the beauty dancing sword.Satisfied, the officers and soldiers laughed loudly, thinking that the ship they were on was really a blessing.Zhang Qing talked and laughed with the officers and soldiers openly.Lu Yufeng and Hong Junshi looked at each other and smiled outside the circle.

For a whole month, except for a strong wind that lasted for three days, there was no major storm.The fleet withstood the test of the big waves, swayed in the wind and waves but still moved forward safely and firmly, and finally sailed out of the stormy land.Everyone cheered and cheered.Lu Yufeng and Hong Junshi knew that this was half the battle.

Although the sea voyage is boring, it can't compare with the restlessness of getting closer and closer to danger.

At noon that day, the weather was clear and we could see land from a distance.Zhang Qing's heart suddenly tightened.As a person who grew up to death in a peaceful age, such a real war still terrifies him.I didn't sleep all night last night, and this morning I put on my whole body and started to prepare for landing.

Thirty miles away from the island in front, the brigade stopped, and first sent fifty sentries to investigate where it would be better to land, whether the enemy was prepared, and what the situation was like.This kind of thing is a matter of the navy.

Zhang Qing was on the rear deck of the main ship, watching from a distance, his heart was pounding, and fifty clippers flew forward like arrows leaving the bowstring.He couldn't help becoming nervous, looking around, looking for Qin Shucheng's shadow.Can't find it.I know I can't find it, but I still want to find it.

After waiting for almost two hours, when it was time for lunch, I saw fast boats approaching the brigade like big fish, followed by countless miscellaneous boats, the people on board shouted loudly and drove quickly The boat chased, and some people shot arrows with bows.Under the sun, the sword shone coldly.

coming!Zhang Qing was sweating on the tip of his nose and was at a loss when someone behind him patted him on the shoulder and said, "I haven't entered the cabin yet, I'm about to land soon."
