Chapter 1150 Dream?
Mu Xiu is back. He has not only trained a very experienced fleet, but also is familiar with several routes in the surrounding waters.
Gu Qingcheng took out a huge map.
This was specially drawn by a craftsman based on the satellite maps of later generations and the actual situation of this world.
Very detailed and very accurate.
From mountains and rivers to points on the sea, everything is drawn.
The map is so large that it can fill an entire room.
Gu Qingcheng was only wearing footwear and standing on the map. She held a pointer in her hand and pointed at the coastal area.
"Brother Mu, how about this route?"
"How many people, horses, food, and weapons can the fleet transport at most?"
Gu Qingcheng actually had a rough estimate in her mind, but she still wanted to ask a professional to give her a precise answer.
"Your Majesty, it is summer now, and the winds at the seaside are mostly southeast and south."
"The fleet is heading north from the south, and with the wind, it can be much faster."
Mu Xiu had just returned from a voyage and was very familiar with the monsoon conditions at sea.
He looked carefully at the destination pointed out by Gu Qingcheng and linked the point on the map with the specific location in his mind.
He had a very concrete idea of it.
"At the fastest, it will take fifteen days; at the slowest, it will take twenty days."
Mu Xiu secretly twirled his fingers, taking into account all factors such as the treasure ship's speed, the monsoon wind speed, and the distance between the two ports, and gave a relatively accurate answer.
As for Gu Qingcheng's other question, he also thought about it carefully.
"Each treasure ship can accommodate a thousand people, and the fleet currently has thirty treasure ships."
Therefore, if the entire fleet is mobilized, it can carry 30,000 people at a time.
"Thirty thousand people."
Gu Qingcheng sighed slightly.
In an era without industrialization, relying solely on manpower is still too limited.
The idea of transporting troops through sea routes is actually too idealistic.
In reality, there are too many problems in operation.
Gu Qingcheng still doesn't need to worry about the loss of money. Well, the silver on a certain island has become Gu Qingcheng's purse.
Relying on this huge silver mine, Gu Qingcheng could afford a huge fleet of treasure ships and could also squander it again and again.
"Fortunately, we don't need too many troops this time. We only need a surprise attack by a special force!"
Gu Qingcheng already had a plan, and Mu Xiu's answer only made her more certain.
…
Pingcheng.
Half a year later, Yuwen Heng met his father Yuwen Song.
He knelt down as soon as he saw her without any hesitation.
"Father, I, your unfilial son, come here to confess my sins!"
Yuwen Heng was very decisive and completed the entire process of kneeling and confessing his guilt in one go.
Yuwen Song sat in the main seat with his horse and sword, staring at Yuwen Heng with his tiger eyes.
"Admit guilt? What do you mean? What did you do wrong?"
"I am an unfilial son! I am too smart! I shouldn't have sent troops south without permission..."
Yuwen Heng can really take it and let it go.
Especially in front of his father, he took the initiative to abandon all his self-esteem and pride.
However, Yuwen Heng did not simply admit his mistakes or show weakness.
He enumerated his faults and then said something that was still a "secret":
"However, my son did not gain nothing from this battle with the Southern Dynasty!"
"My son was indeed defeated, but he was not defeated by the Gu family and the riverside defenders. He was defeated by a divine weapon—"
As he spoke, Yuwen Heng took out a half-broken porcelain bottle from his arms.
The porcelain vase is not big, about the size of an adult woman's fist.
This half of the porcelain bottle does not seem to have been broken, and there are traces of fire on the broken edge.
"This is?"
Yuwensong didn't understand.
He had no idea why his son was so serious about bringing back such a piece of junk.
"Ah Heng, you're not trying to tell me that your defeat a few months ago was related to this thing?"
"Father, please don't underestimate this small porcelain bottle."
"It's not ordinary porcelain. It's filled with something. Once it hits you, it will explode with a loud bang..."
When he said the word "explosion", Yuwen Heng's face instantly turned a little ugly.
There was a flash of fear in his eyes.
He seemed to recall some horrible scene, and even now he was still frightened.
Yuwensong became a little curious.
His son, who was only a little over ten years old and only slightly taller than a war horse, started going to the battlefield.
The battlefield is always cruel and bloody.
Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and wailing was heard everywhere.
Wherever you stepped, you'd see either corpses or scattered heads and severed limbs.
For ordinary people, this is a place more terrifying than hell.
Yuwen Heng, however, had long been accustomed to it.
Having experienced the real battlefield and grasped the true cruelty, Yuwensong believed that warriors like them would not be afraid of anyone or anything.
But the eldest son in front of him had a look of fear on his face. Yuwen Song was sure that his son was not cowardly, but had really encountered a situation more terrifying than the battlefield.
"Father, you haven't seen it with your own eyes, so you don't know the power of the explosion of this thing."
"If it was a close combat, a real fight with swords and guns, my son wouldn't be so afraid."
"That's not the case! You don't even need to get close to disarm it. Just throw it over and it will explode into pieces."
"People were blown away, and war horses were blown to pieces. The soldiers who were affected were either burned or had their limbs mutilated..."
Yuwen Heng did not exaggerate, but told his experience truthfully.
At the end, he said with a bleak look on his face: "Father, can you imagine, on the huge river surface, thick smoke billows, and all kinds of debris floats."
"The river surface was dyed red with blood, and there were countless wails..."
The key point is that their cavalry didn't even touch the edge of the enemy's clothes.
They suffered a crushing defeat, while the other side didn't lose a single soldier!
This is the most terrifying thing!
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Is he really that domineering?"
Yu Wensong had not seen it with his own eyes, so it was really hard to imagine it just by imagination.
"Father, if you don't believe it, we can give it a try!"
Yuwen Heng suddenly changed the subject and said this.
Yuwen Song was stunned for a moment, staring at Yuwen Heng with sharp eyes.
What does this guy mean? He got a complete little porcelain bottle?
Aren't there just some broken fragments?
"Father, your son has managed to get the 'secret recipe'."
Yuwen Heng raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a smug smile.
"Time is tight, and my son is keeping a low profile when he returns to Beijing. It is not easy to recruit craftsmen and materials in a big way, so the small porcelain vase cannot be restored for the time being."
"However, my son found something similar to a small porcelain bottle, and the effect he displayed was similar to when the small porcelain bottle exploded."
Yuwen Heng raised his head, and although he was still kneeling, he had a kind of complacent and arrogant look.
He came this time not just to confess his sins to his father.
He also negotiated with his father and the Yuwen family he represented.
And in negotiations, of course, you need bargaining chips.
Yuwen Heng's bargaining chip is not just Bu Liuhu Xin.
Before last night, Yuwen Heng would not have been so confident.
But last night, after receiving a letter from his confidant, which was sent by flying eagle, telling him that the queen had passed away due to illness, Yuwen Heng was deeply moved.
He had loved and despised this woman, Gu Youyi... But when he sent someone to kill her, all he could do was sigh and lament.
After all, they have known each other since childhood and have been childhood sweethearts for many years.
They are still married.
Although Yuwen Heng discovered his wife's true face (stupid) in the past one or two years, he must admit that regardless of whether his wife is smart or not, she really devotes all her energy to him.
Perhaps, the wife's efforts have a purpose.
But, as the ancients also said, "Judge by actions, not by heart."
So what if his wife had her own purpose? The result was that Yuwen Heng was able to accumulate military merits and possess a certain level of strength thanks to his wife's help.
When the person was alive, Yuwen Heng could only see the other person's shortcomings and was disgusted with the other person's utilitarianism.
Now, the person is dead, and died in his own hands. Yuwen Heng's few consciences could not help but be touched.
Perhaps it was because he sighed too much, or perhaps it was because he thought too much about the good things in the past, Yuwen Heng felt particularly uneasy when he slept.
He had a dream all night.
In dreams, there are all kinds of bizarre and strange things, and many of them are incredible.
After waking up, Yuwen Heng felt a little dazed.
Although those dreams were bizarre, they were extremely real.
As if it had really happened.
"…How is that possible? My wife is Gu's Fourth Lady, not Gu's Third Lady."
"That Gu San didn't come to the Northern Dynasty with her family. She followed Lord You'an to Lingnan."
"Also, after Gu Si escaped from the river, he cursed more than once, saying that Gu San relied on her good looks to seduce several men."
According to Gu Youyi, Jiang Chi's rebellion was all caused by Gu Qing's seduction.
When he heard these curses, Yuwen Heng hated his wife even more - her jealous face was really ugly!
But now, after experiencing one dream after another, Yuwen Heng actually carefully recalled his wife's words.
Because he discovered that in his dream, the woman he married, Gu Sanniang, was actually an ugly woman.
Ugly! Very ugly! But, very talented.
Yuwen Heng was also surprised to find that the "prophecy" he got from Gu Youyi was all written by Gu Sanniang in his dreams.
It’s just that Gu Youyi relied entirely on “prediction”, while Gu Sanniang used her clever brain to analyze based on the clues she got and then came to the conclusion.
Perhaps Yuwen Heng was smart enough. He found that although those dreams were absurd and bizarre, Gu Sanniang's behavior in the dreams was very logical.
There is no metaphysics that can tell fortunes, there is only a powerful brain that can analyze and infer.
Gu Sanniang's various performances are more worthy of the reputation of the number one talented woman.
And she married him, and used all the strength of the Gu family to assist him, allowing him to ascend the throne and finally unify the world.
“Huh~~”
God knows, after waking up and sorting out everything in the dream again, Yuwen Heng felt both absurd and inexplicably excited.
Unify the North and the South!
Dominate the world!
Leave your name in history!
The greatest emperor of all time! Really, that dream was too beautiful and too real, so real that Yuwen Heng was a little dazed...
