On the second day, Wang Yu took Ling Xiao and Zheng Shu to the Shipping Company. Ling Shuang stayed at home to look after Cheng Chen and the others, so that Wang Yu could feel more at ease when he went out. He really didn't know what these people would do near the provincial government office. Besides, he went to the Shipping Company to do business, so it was not appropriate to bring his family with him.
Several people sat in the carriage. Wang Yu asked Ling Xiao, "How did you find out they were following you?"
As soon as they came out, Ling Xiao said that someone was following them. Wang Yu asked curiously.
Ling Xiao: "Big brother taught me the art of tracking. My martial arts skills are pretty good, but those guys' tracking skills are not up to par yet. So I knew it as soon as they came out. My big brother's Qinggong is very good. If he was following me, I wouldn't be able to detect it."
Wang Yu: "Is his martial arts good?"
Perhaps he was talking about his elder brother, as Ling Xiao said with a proud expression, "Brother is the best among the younger generation in the martial arts world. His Feixue swordsmanship is so superb that even my father can't compare to him."
Wang Yu didn't expect Ling Chufeng to be so good at martial arts and such a powerful person. Zhang Siyuan said that he was also talented in studying, otherwise he would not have been able to become Mr. Lan's disciple. This is a genius who is both civil and military. Wang Yu expressed his envy.
Wang Yu suddenly remembered that Ling Shuang said that she was very good at Qing Gong, so he asked, "Is Ling Shuang's Qing Gong very good?"
Ling Xiao: "Yeah, big brother taught her."
Wang Yu: "Didn't your elder brother teach you?"
Ling Xiao said reluctantly, "I have taught her, but not as well as Ling Shuang. However, my swordsmanship is better than hers."
Wang Yu smiled and lowered his head when he heard this. They were still two young children, always liking to compare with each other.
The two of them chatted as they arrived at the Ship and Boat Department. They were received by Commander Xue Hai. Although Wang Yu's rank was lower than his, he still received him seriously. After all, it was the emperor's instructions. No one knew what was so special about this person.
Wang Yu: "I'm sorry to bother you, Master Xue today."
Xue Hai: "Nothing, the emperor asked me to take you for a good look."
Wang Yu: "Thank you, Master Xue, for leading the way."
The Ship and Route Department is very large, and there are many soldiers patrolling everywhere. The discipline is strict and the guards are tight. The soldiers are energetic, with upright postures and firm steps. It can be seen that Xue Hai manages his people very well.
Xue Hai took them to see the finished steamships, which were now neatly docked on the seashore, some distance away from the main harbor.
Wang Yu was shocked as he looked at the mounted artillery ships. He had only known warships in literature but had never seen one in person.
Xue Hai looked at the shocked faces of the others with a hint of pride and said, "Each ship is equipped with cannons and can accommodate thousands of people."
Wang Yu nodded: "Well, very shocking, using this to fight against Dongyi is a sure win."
Xue Hai nodded and showed them the muskets and guns equipped to the soldiers. As long as the battle started, it would be an overwhelming victory without a doubt. After all, the enemy might still use cold weapons.
The late emperor brought a lot to Dali. As long as the military strength continues to develop in this way, there will be no need to worry about being attacked by others in the future.
Wang Yu stepped forward and touched the musket. Xue Hai said, "Lord Wang, do you want to try it?"
I definitely wanted to give it a try, as these things were just antiques I had only seen in museums, so I nodded.
Xue Hai had two rifles brought to the training ground. There were many targets on the ground. He picked up a musket and taught Wang Yu how to use it. "This gun can hold twenty bullets at a time. Try it."
Wang Yu tried it according to Xue Hai's instructions. The bullet was fired and hit the target, but the force was very strong and Wang Yu could feel it.
He returned the gun to Xue Hai and said, "Very powerful."
Xue Hai demonstrated the musket to him again. This one was more powerful, firing twenty-eight bullets continuously at a time. Although it was not as powerful as the submachine guns of later generations, it was already very impressive at that time.
Wang Yu just wanted to give them a thumbs up, saying they were awesome. Xue Hai became even more proud.
Wang Yu then secretly asked Ling Xiao, "Can you martial artists withstand muskets and firearms? Do you have any hard skills like iron vests or indestructible bodies?"
Ling Xiao looked at Wang Yu as if he had seen a ghost. He said that although some people practiced martial arts, they could withstand swords and knives, but it was impossible for them to withstand such a powerful musket. He said speechlessly: "Sir, it should be possible for people with high martial arts skills to dodge, but if they take it directly with their body, they will probably meet the King of Hell directly."
Wang Yu touched his chin and nodded. Hot weapons are still more powerful.
After they left the training grounds, Wang Yu bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Xue, for opening our eyes today. I'll write a memorial to the Emperor later. Lord Xue's ship management department is doing a great job."
Xue Hai nodded: "It will take more than a year until all the warships are ready."
Wang Yu: "Okay, I'll leave first."
The three of them returned home. It would take more than a year to resolve the situation here, so there was no rush for the time being. After all, the Ship and Route Bureau was newly established by the emperor in recent years, and the military was still stationed there. They probably wouldn't dare to extend their hands here, so he didn't need to take care of anything here in advance.
Now the main thing is to find out what they are doing? They are so mysterious and they monitor him so strictly. There has been no news from the Beggars' Sect in the past few days. Wang Yu just goes about his business as usual, taking care of internal affairs in the yamen and spending time with his husband and children.
Several people were eating in the house. Wang Yu said, "Tomorrow is a day off. I'll take you guys to the beach. You haven't been to the beach yet, right?"
The second baby has been getting better these days. He is already one year and two months old. He can walk slowly. He always stays at home and must want to go out and play.
Several people looked at Wang Yu. They had indeed never seen the sea. Cheng Chen and Zheng Shu needed no mention. Ling Xiao and his sister had just come out for training, and such a thing happened before they even reached the beach.
