With the support of so many local businessmen, Qin Hao almost devoted himself to formal work on the same day he arrived in Yangzhou.

Of course, Qin Hao is actually just showing off. The main technical guidance is Qin Xiaohao. The St. Trinidad was almost the pinnacle of the wooden ship before the Industrial Revolution. It has four decks, 61 meters long and 16 meters wide, and has a displacement of nearly five tons. Such a huge thing, even if he built a slightly smaller one, the workload was still huge, but the construction speed was very fast.

It took Spain four years to design and launch such a ship. Of course, it took more than a year to design itself, and the manpower and material resources were not on the same level.

But the speed of the Tang Dynasty was really a bit scary. It only took four months from Qin Hao to Yangzhou to the launch of the ship! The workers and the masters all lived and fed on the construction site, and worked in two shifts on the dark and daytime, almost no organization or mobilization work was needed. Qin Hao, the so-called leader, was more like a logistics brigade captain. His daily work was to care about the physical condition of every craftsman and not let them die suddenly on the construction site.

People's hearts are available.

Of course, this is also inseparable from the current abundant capital of Datang.

In general, everyone in the Tang Dynasty now has a dream. In the more than ten years since Li Shimin came to power, people's lives have indeed improved significantly. People who are slightly older in China have experienced the chaos in the end of the Sui Dynasty and changed their children to eat, while those who are a little younger have begun to dislike their meat being too fat.

Such a big contrast made the people in the world almost 100% loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and the people were willing to fight and sacrifice for such a court. In a more modern way, nothing was impossible during the explosion of national strength.

The people of the whole world held their breath and allowed the entire country to advance and retreat together. Such a court would not fail. Even if it failed, it would rise again with this tone.

In such a breath, the entire Tang Dynasty was almost crazy. From Chang'an to the west, more people donated everything they had for this battle. The Tang Dynasty did not restrict private weapons, so the township brave men spontaneously walked onto the battlefield with their weapons, and could not even drive them away. They used small carts to ensure the logistics supply of the army. This enthusiasm inspired the soldiers to serve the country and fight to the death without retreating.

When I opened the newspaper, I was talking about the war in the Western Regions. One of them was more or less related to him. The fifteen-year-old general Xue Li led 800 Eastern Turkic cavalry to penetrate more than 20 miles into the battlefield and made the first contribution in this battle.

This made Qin Hao sigh that time flies. In a blink of an eye, the little kids of that year have grown up and can stand alone.

The main force of the Anxi Protectorate led by Hou Junji was still Dangxiang people. After two small victories in the Western Turks, they were quite proud, but when the Eastern Turkic cavalry led by Li Jie and Ashinardur arrived at the battlefield, they couldn't laugh.

It is hard to imagine that these Eastern Turks were still mortal enemies of the Tang Dynasty ten years ago, but now they all want to serve their country loyally. They really fight with you when they fight.

This is also thanks to Li Shimin's policy of integrating Hu and Han. In recent years, the Eastern Turks have been so close to the Hexi Corridor and have been taking a lot of dividends from the Silk Road. The key is that the Tang Dynasty has hardly received much filial piety from them under such a high prosperity. Instead, it has helped them pay and work hard when it encounters a black and white disaster.

On this day, Bibi was so happy when he was under Jie Li. Now it is the time when the Tang Dynasty needs them the most. How can it not work hard? What makes them most angry is that it is not good for the trouble this time, but it is the Western Turks.

If you don’t fight hard, how can you prove to the Tang Dynasty that we are not from the same family as you? Not to mention ethnic compatriots, the grassland nations have no idea at all, because they are all called Turkic. Many Han people misunderstand us. Those ignorant people in the countryside who are uneducated, they thought we had rebelled.

However, the sea on Pei Xingjian was tepid. Dashi was determined to compete with the Tang Dynasty for a victory or defeat. Such a huge fleet actually spent most of the time wandering around Southeast Asia. He rushed to the Tang Dynasty several times, and once they all rushed to Quanzhou. Fortunately, Pei Xingjian arrived in time and drove them away with the terrain and fortifications, especially the local Quanzhou soldiers.

When did the Tang Dynasty be bullied at the door of his house? Especially when the battle in the west was so vigorous, if you could not fight a beautiful counterattack, with Pei Xingjian's qualifications, this incident alone would be enough to beat him to the end.

This guy was naturally anxious. He wrote him eight letters of help within a month. If he didn't build the new ship, he would almost be unable to withstand it.

Finally, the artillery transported from the capital also arrived.

Spain's San Trinidad has 140 artillery pieces. Once fired, it can break the enemy ships. However, the artillery technology of the Tang Dynasty is not yet mature. At present, his cannons are still made of copper, which is relatively large and heavy. This is why the Garen cannot be equipped with cannons. Therefore, when the ship finally went to sea, there were only 'poor' forty ones on the four decks.

On the day of going to sea, Qin Hao stood excitedly on the top deck. This was a symbol of the national strength of the Tang Dynasty and the unity of the military and civilians of the Tang Dynasty. He couldn't wait to drive this ship to bully people. With this thing, even if he didn't know how to fight, he was sure to travel all over the world.

However, he finally suppressed his impulse and just ordered people to send the ship to him. Not going to the battlefield or holding military power was his bottom line. Moreover, Pei Xingjian was also considered his own person, so this was his victory.

…………

On the day the boat was sent away, Qin Hao called Qin Xiaohao to the study.

"Dad, come to me."

"Well, this time the Tang Dynasty can be created so quickly, thanks to you."

"What are we talking about? Isn't the matter of the Tang Dynasty also our family's business? Our family's foundation is in the Qing Gang, and the Qing Gang's foundation is in the sea transportation. If we can't win this battle, our family will be finished in the future."

"Yes, I have brains, so I'll ask you what we father and son should do next."

"Hmm? What does it mean? After the ship is built, it will naturally return to Beijing."

"Oh, just your brain, you still want to be Sima Zhao? Child, you are a science genius, but you are really not a political person. Listen to my advice, be honest, don't do so many useless things."

"Dad, what do you mean..."

"I can't go back to the capital. I want to recuperate in Yangzhou. I built such a big ship in four months. I have worked hard and become a turtle. I have to stay in Yangzhou to recuperate. I can't get better until His Majesty returns to Beijing. Do you understand? If you don't understand, go back and think about it. If you can't figure it out, listen to me in the future and don't make trouble. Do you understand?"

"yes."
