Chapter 1372

As Tong Guan returned to Jiaonan Port, the news that the female Nao Ren was about to attack the Liaodong Peninsula was passed back to Tokyo Bianliang.

After receiving the news, Wang Yang finally felt relieved and felt a sigh of vigor. After all, Di Gubao gave him the impression that he was too unreliable. In addition to being more honest in doing business, Wang Daguan really didn't know how to describe this guy in other aspects.

Emperor Zhao Xu, Prime Minister Su Dongpo, Privy Councilor Zhang Feng and Wang Yang once again gathered in the imperial study room, and a huge map was placed on the ground of the imperial study room.

It was a map including the Jiaodong Peninsula, the Liaodong Peninsula, and many surrounding islands, and Wang Yang stood next to the map and talked.

"This time, my Song Dynasty has given an ultimatum to Na Di Gubao. Now, the Female Master, due to the years of fierce battles with the Northern Liao Dynasty, and the lengthening of the front line, has invested more and more troops. The things produced by the elderly, weak and women and children have long been unable to meet their survival needs.

In addition, the food given to the female Zhiren by the Song Dynasty was half sold and half given away. It was able to obtain enough food and other daily necessities at a low price, which naturally made the female Zhiren even more relaxed in fighting against the Northern Liao...

Now, at least two-thirds of the food rations and most of the salt supply of the Female Master is completely supported by our Song Dynasty.

Once I cut off the food and salt in the Song Dynasty, at this critical moment, even if women save food and reduce food, it will not be enough for them to support the autumn harvest season. What's more, even if it is the autumn harvest season, the food they can get will be enough for them to support the family for two to three months."

"What can they do? Even if they are willing to surrender to the Northern Liao for the sake of their stomachs, I believe that the Northern Liao will be happy to watch these former enemies starve to death among the white mountains and black waters."

"So, now my Song Dynasty has given a ultimatum to Naoto. Faced with the danger of food being cut off at any time, Naoto Naoto has no choice. Now, due to years of war, the North Liao and Tokyo Road has been decayed, and the population is almost gone. The original farmland is already full of weeds. Even if they want to rob, there is no place to rob.

Therefore, the female Nao people can only be threatened by my Song Dynasty and have no choice but to fight. Only by taking down the Liaodong Peninsula and giving it to me the Song Dynasty can they continue to get enough food from my Song Dynasty and continue to fight against the Northern Liao Dynasty."

"No wonder Wang Wushan, you have always insisted on doing grain business with the girl Zhizhu tribe. It turns out that the root of it is here..." The old driver Su Dongpo naturally understood the conspiracy of Wang Yang, a treacherous and insidious young man.

"This is naturally. The Female Zhizhu tribe is too far away from my Song Dynasty. The force of my Song Dynasty is not at all threatening to the Female Zhizhu tribe, which is still separated by the Northern Liao Dynasty in the middle."

"However, sometimes war is not just about using force, but resources can also become tools of war." Wang Yang sniffed and said proudly.

I have to say that this is the longest thing he has planned in this era.

Zhang Feng stroked his long beard and nodded in agreement. "The Tokyo Road in Northern Liao, except for the wealthy areas in Liaoyang Prefecture, almost all the people in the other places have escaped.

Almost all of them are poor and deserted. After suffering a few losses in the hands of the Naoji, the strategy they have adopted now is to shrink their defense. In this way, the Naoji can only invest more people to maintain the defense line, so that there will be no loopholes everywhere, and the defense will allow the Liao people to take advantage of loopholes."

"What's more, even if Di Gufei really doesn't take action, then with the strength of our current Navy and Wanhong Trading Company in Song Dynasty, we are fully capable of transporting ten thousand fully armed Song soldiers to the Liaodong Peninsula at one time, and cut off the connection between Liaoyang Prefecture, Dongjing, Northern Liaoning and Ningzhou and Xiazhou..."

"Mr. Zhang's words are reasonable, but this is the last resort." Wang Yang nodded, but shook his head and explained. "After all, if I can avoid direct conflict with Northern Liao, it is best not to have conflicts. It is better to focus on accumulating strength."

"Well, now my Jiaodong Navy in Song Dynasty, oh no, it should be called the Jiaodong Navy. There are five warships in total, three thousand warships, thirty warships, two thousand warships and about fifty ships under the sea.

There are 25,000 naval soldiers in total. It can be said that almost 60% of the naval warships belonging to our Song Dynasty military gathered on the Jiaodong Peninsula."

Hearing Zhang Shi's sincere pride and pride, Wang Yang couldn't help but curl his lips secretly, but on the surface he didn't want to attack the Privy Council boss of the Song Dynasty, so he didn't complain.

In the past, the Navy of the Song Dynasty had only one such statement. Whether it was the Dongting Lake Navy, the Yangtze River Navy, or the Yellow River Navy, all the surface troops were uniformly called Navy.

Moreover, the Song Dynasty paid more attention to the surface military force on the continental shelf, but the surface military force on the coast of the Song Dynasty was very weak.

Wang Yang remembered that when he had just proposed the idea of ​​attacking the Liaodong Peninsula, Su Dongpo and Zhang Qing both expressed opposition. One of the important reasons was that the navy was so expensive, and most of the navy in the Song Dynasty were in rivers and lakes, and very few were driving on the sea.

After Wang Yang, a great master of the Song Dynasty, donated four, five,000 and ten, three,000 sea ships of three,000 materials to the Jiaodong Navy of the Song Dynasty for free. With the strong support of the emperor Zhao Xu, he decided to begin vigorously developing the Song Dynasty navy.

The countless officials and workers in the court barely stopped opposing the establishment of a navy in the Song Dynasty. However, of course, those ships were not all bought from the maritime merchants and the shipyards in Jiangnan.

The Jiaonan shipyard has also contributed a large ship of 5,000 materials and four sea ships of 3,000 materials. After all, although Wang Yang gave the warships to the court for free, he could not always pay.

He would rather make his shipyard build more ships, polish his skills, and create more, stronger and faster sailing boats.

You should know that by the Southern Song Dynasty, there were countless ships in the Song Dynasty, but the reason for this was that they were forced, because at that time, the Song Dynasty had almost lost all the land north of the Yellow River. In order to obtain a lot of wealth and maintain the peace of the coastal areas of the Song Dynasty, it was impossible to build ships on a large scale by strong enemies from the north.

Since this is the case, it is not until the official Wang Daren used his abundant resources to create the era of the Great Pavement of the Song Dynasty in advance.

You should know that when Columbus of the West embarked on the initial journey of discovering America on August 3, 1492, the Spanish Expeditionary Fleet led by him had only three ships: Santa Maria, Pinta, and Nina.
