At the confluence of three rivers, the waters are vast and sparsely populated. Several boats are floating on the water. The boats are huge and beautiful. The white smoke is connected to the shore and the sky, adding the most ethereal background to this painting of moored boats on the river. Several flying birds are leisurely crossing the river on the swaying water. The tips of their wet wings are black, bright and sharp like a pair of scissors.

Under the rolling water, the fish gather and disperse regularly.

"Boom!" A loud noise came from the water.

Birds in the air flew away in all directions, and the fish in the water fled in a panic. A simple wooden frame boat a hundred meters in front of the big ship was sunk.

"It's done!!!!!!! Hit it!!" Cheers came from the crowd.

"Yongqing is really a sharpshooter. When we went up the mountain to hunt before, he was the best archer. Now that he has replaced this ship cannon, his accuracy is the best."

"I heard that there is a skill. You can measure the distance by gesturing with your fingers."

"Haha, even if you can measure it, so what? I can do it, but I just can't hit it."

"Alas, this kind of thing depends on talent. Without talent, we can only drive the boat and steer the rudder."

The two people who were talking to each other in the crowd pushed each other and smiled at each other.

After more than half a year of hard work by Yangzhou craftsmen, a simple cannon was installed on the newly cast warship, which could bombard ships a hundred meters away. This batch of newly cast warships is the weapon that Duan Shubai plans to use to deal with pirates.

The soldiers will use them to recapture the islands occupied by pirates.

Shao Yongqing is a selected gunner. After a long period of hard training, he finally mastered the ability to control artillery. Today's demonstration represents that this batch of newly cast warships and sailors are ready to go into battle.

Standing on the river bank, Duan Shubai watched with satisfaction as the soldiers lined up in several rows and boarded the ship one by one. Boxes of war supplies were also carried onto the warships.

"Go east along the river and enter the coast... The river water is very different from the sea water. The soldiers have to adapt to it."

"Did you hear that? You have to work hard to adapt. Lan Qian's brothers are waiting for the new warships to pass by. Be careful that those black-hearted guys will rob your ships and leave you anxious on the shore."

"Those guys who have been blown into dried salted fish by the sea breeze still want to rob our warships. Dream on!"

"Hey, when we get there, we are still salted fish. When we come out of the sea water, we shake our bodies and are covered with salt. When the sea breeze blows again, hahahaha..."

"Is it possible to cook all of you dried salted fish with another pot?"

"..."

As the soldiers whispered, all the boatmen were fully prepared and ready to go.

Duan Shubai and several captains gave instructions for a long time, then waved goodbye to the fleet. The towering ships headed eastward, and only the birds in the sky could be heard singing. The back of the giant ship disappeared in the white river fog.

After seeing off the ship, Duan Shubai and several guards around him stood on the river bank, looking at the river, green mountains and water fog.

Zhang Changle walked to the side of Duan Shubai and looked at Duan Shubai standing in front of him. He was handsome, his black hair and scarlet cloak were blown away by the river, and his handsome eyebrows became deeper and more handsome in the wind, with an aggressive and proud momentum.
