Seeing Gongshu and his son kneel down again, Lu Chen was not in a hurry to help them up.
The Great Tang was a feudal society, and these etiquette were the most common. If Lu Chen forcefully refused, it would only chill the hearts of the Gongshu family.
Therefore, Lu Chen only spoke after a moment.
"Gongshu Ji, listen up. I order you to be the chief of the navy. Immediately organize the soldiers in the army and speed up the construction of warships!”
"This subordinate accepts the order and will not disappoint the commander-in-chief!”
Gongshu Ji shouted, cupped his fists, and left!
To Lu Chen and the Internet Water Army, the addition of the Gongshu family was really a good rain after a long drought.
In terms of mechanism and construction skills, the craftsmen of the Tang Imperial Court were definitely inferior to the Gongshu family.
With the addition of the Gongshu family, the navy warships would probably be built in two days at most!
At this moment, looking at Gongshu Yan in the commander's tent, Lu Chen took out a scroll from the table and threw it over.
After receiving the scroll, Gongshu Yan looked puzzled.
Under Lu Chen's signal, the old uncle slowly opened the scroll.
However, the moment he opened it and saw what was on the scroll, the old uncle was stunned and stood rooted to the ground.
He was so excited that his entire body trembled, his face flushed red, and even his beard trembled as he swallowed his saliva!
"General Lu, you are a peerless genius. This old man admires you and prostrated himself on the ground!”
"If we really follow the method you described on the blueprint and modify the Tiger Leopard Crossbow, the Tiger Leopard Crossbow that originally required four to five people to operate will instantly become a single person's operation!”
"Moreover, the range, power, and accuracy will be more than doubled!”
That's right, Lu Chen had just thrown the improved blueprint of the Tiger Leopard Crossbow to his husband!
It was a reward from the system last time, and Lu Chen had yet to take action.
It was a good time to throw it to her husband now, and there would be many benefits.
First of all, they would definitely use the Tiger Leopard Crossbow to attack Jilei Mountain this time. This was a well-deserved peerless killing weapon. They had to quickly modify it and leave it to Gongshu Yan. It would not be a problem!
Secondly, if they wanted to completely conquer this reclusive family, especially the Gongshu family, which had a skill, they had to completely defeat him in the trap technique that he was best at. Only then would the entire Gongshu family be loyal from the bottom of their hearts!
Lastly, it was naturally loyalty. Although the system had said that the subordinates obtained from the purple Character Summon Card would have full loyalty and would never betray.
However, the human heart was unpredictable. Lu Chen had to personally add a layer of insurance!
He also thought about how his uncle's family had been in seclusion for so many years. Their living conditions, food, clothing, and housing were definitely not as good as they were when they were at their peak.
Therefore, Lu Chen turned his head and said to his old uncle.
"Your Gongshu family has been silent for so long. Now that you're relying on me, it's indeed a good time for your family to rise. But remember, you can't publicize it for the time being!”
"As long as you improve the Tiger Leopard Crossbow and build the warships, you will have military achievements after returning from this expedition with the army. I can guarantee that your Gongshu family will return to the stage of history!”
As expected, Gongshu Yan was extremely excited every time this was mentioned, and tears streamed down his face.
He really did not have any bad intentions, nor did he have any other intentions.
Since he had chosen to enter the world and rely on Lu Chen, he must have done so wholeheartedly!
After hearing Lu Chen's repeated promises, Gongshu Yan was extremely touched and knelt on the ground again.
"This old man thanks General Lu for your great kindness. There are twenty-seven people in Uncle Gong's family, old and young. For the rest of my life, I will be loyal to General Lu, assist him, and obey his orders!”
"If anyone in the family has any evil thoughts, they will be expelled from the genealogy. Moreover, we will use the entire family's strength to kill them!”
"In the name of the ancestors of the Gongshu family, I swear that if I'm disloyal at all, I'll be struck by lightning and die without a burial place!”
Her husband's words were sincere and penetrating.
Moreover, in this feudal society, everyone valued loyalty and shame more than their lives. Moreover, they had sworn a poison oath, so it was even more impossible for them to betray!
Next, Gongshu Yan went to modify the Violent Tiger Crossbow.
The navy ships were also being built in full swing. The entire navy camp and Gongyang River were busy preparing for war.
……
Time flew, and in the blink of an eye, two days had passed.
It was the early morning of the third day, and it was still a little cold. However, Uncle Gong and his son had already come to report that the ship had been completed.
Moreover, time was too tight this time. Even with the use of many craftsmen and the navy, only 32 warships were built.
This was still largely due to the Gongshu family's most reasonable command and some exquisite and simple construction methods.
After all, there was no doubt about the Gongshu family's strength in crafting mechanisms.
Each warship was about thirty-five meters long, and the thirty plus warships added together could accommodate a total of five thousand soldiers.
Moreover, at Lu Chen's request, each warship was equipped with six Tiger Leopard Crossbows. At the end of the ship, there was also a huge propeller.
The first time Lu Chen had given the propeller diagram to his husband, he had seen it when he had lost.
Her husband was stunned. It was not that there was no way to increase motivation in the Gongshu family's trap techniques.
However, compared to the propeller, it seemed inferior.
The propeller and the pedal gears that could be stepped on increased the speed of the warship on the water by several times. It was a true overlord on the water.
Hubby Shu realized more and more that his decision to let the Gongshu family enter the world and become Lu Chen's subordinate a few days ago was the right decision!
Moreover, he was once again convinced by Lu Chen's intelligence and was even more loyal.
At this moment, the deputy general of the Internet Water Army, Li Dingzhong, came to Lu Chen with the roster.
"Commander, all the navy members have gathered. There are a total of 3,200 people.”
Lu Chen did not look at the name list. Instead, he stood up and walked out of the tent. He glanced at the fully-armed navy soldiers standing by the Gongyang River. They were neat and orderly, and they were filled with an inexplicable killing intent.
Lu Chen stood on a high platform and shouted in a grand manner.
"Navy soldiers, listen to my command!"
"The bandits of the Longyou Wastelands colluded with the Tubo tribes to harm the people of the Great Tang. They are already our enemies!”
"General, a hundred soldiers have died in battle. We, the Great Tang soldiers, will naturally defend our territory, sweep away the barbarians, and wash the foreign races with blood!”
"As long as Long Chengfei is here, don't teach the Hu horses to cross the Yin Mountains!”
How magnificent!
Lu Chen's words were absolutely uplifting!
The last sentence just now was originally written by a poet. Now that Lu Chen had used it here, the effect was surprisingly good!
The 3,000 navy soldiers on the banks of the Gongyang River instantly roared in unison.
"Don't call Hu Ma crossing the Yin Mountains!"
"If we don't get rid of the bandits and kill the barbarians, we swear we won't return to the capital!”
"Kill them!"
The entire Internet Water Army was unstoppable!
……
At the same time, a confident voice came from a hillside upstream of the Gongyang River.
"Good! What a good way to teach the Hu horses to cross the Yin Mountains!"
This person was the Emperor of the Great Tang, Li Er. Behind Li Er were Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Yuchi Gong, Zhangsun Wuji and the others.
As the emperor of the Tang Empire, he would definitely come to see off the Tang army whenever it went out.
"Your Majesty, Commander Lu is indeed extraordinary when it comes to marching and fighting. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a genius in the army!”
Yuchi Gong couldn't help but praise after seeing the scene by the Gongyang River.
Li Er nodded to himself. Lu Chen's lecture just now made his blood boil.
It was also at this moment that Li Er had a bold idea.
Perhaps Lu Chen could really conquer Jilei Mountain!
As soon as this thought appeared, Li Er himself was shocked and quickly suppressed it!
……
Lu Chen ordered again.
"Navy, listen up!”
The 3,000 navy immediately boarded the ships and set sail!
Hualala!
Dozens of huge white sails fluttered in the wind and filled the Gongyang River!
The warship sailed down the river in the strong wind with a magnificent momentum!
As far as the eye could see, thousands of sails were set off!
