Chapter 1373

Let’s take a look at the information about the most common sea ships along the coast of the Song Dynasty. The hull is more than ten feet long, which is more than 30 meters long, and the width is three feet and two feet. That is, the width is more than nine meters. The depth from the cabin to the deck is about 2 meters, the load is three thousand feet, which is about 200 tons, and the displacement is about 800 tons.

In other words, this data is quite touching. What’s important is that three thousand materials can only be regarded as the most common sea ship in the Song Dynasty.

There are even larger sea ships upwards, such as five thousand pieces of material, with a displacement of over one thousand tons and a load of up to three hundred and fifty tons. It is more than enough to directly load Columbus' flagship four hundred years later.

All of these are not counted. According to real historical records, statistics from the third year of Zhidao of Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty, a total of 3,337 shipbuildings were built in the Song Dynasty this year.

During the reign of Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Song court ordered the dock to build two giant ships, one named "Dingxinli She Huaiyuan Kang Ji Shenzhou" and the other named "Xingli Sui and Tong Ji Shenzhou". At the same time, the Song court entrusted Fujian, and six "Gu Juke Zhou" were accompanied by two thousand materials.

So what about the loading capacity of the "Kangji" and "Tongji" Shenzhou? According to the records of the "Xuanhe Envoy Goryeo Tujing", "The Shenzhou is long and tall, and the number of people used by any utensil is three times that of the guest boat." In other words, the loading capacity of a Shenzhou is at least 6,000 materials.

But do you think this is the end? Haha, let me tell you, this is not the end yet. These two Shenzhou boats are not the largest ship dealers sailing out of the Dasong Port.

The "Lingnan Daida" by Zhou Qufei, a man from the Southern Song Dynasty, records a giant ship called "Mulan Boat", which was a giant merchant ship from the Great Song Dynasty to "Mulan Pi Kingdom" (i.e. the Murabit Kingdom in western Africa): "Floating south of the South China Sea, the boat is like a huge house, the sails are like clouds hanging in the sky, and the caving is several feet long. A boat of hundreds of people accumulates grain for a year, and pigs are raising wine in it."

There is also a larger Mulan boat: "The boat is bigger. One boat can accommodate thousands of people. If there is a loom on the boat, it may not be encountered in a convenient wind. It will take several years to reach it. It is not even a huge boat, and it cannot be reached. The so-called Mulan boat in this life may not be too loud."

Now Wang Daguanren has arrived in this era. Since the shipbuilding industry in the Song Dynasty is so awesome and the sea trade is so developed, naturally Wang Yang will definitely follow the help.

After all, the merchants of the Song Dynasty can at least be regarded as the most socially renowned era since the Qin and Han Dynasties. Therefore, this is a beautiful era, so why can't they continue to continue?

"Since that's the case, I'm going to let the Jiaodong Navy reorganize its troops and prepare for war, waiting for news. Once the female Naomen takes over the Liaodong Peninsula, the navy will immediately go to take action. In addition, from Tokyo Bianliang, five thousand elite imperial guards will be dispatched immediately and will go to Jiaodong to stand by. What do you think?"

"Your Majesty, I think it's not appropriate for the imperial guards in the capital." At this time, the old driver Zhang Ju looked at Wang Yang, saw Wang Yang's frequent gestures, shook his head helplessly, took a step forward, and bowed to the emperor.

"Most of the imperial guards in the capital have not experienced the battle formation, and the Liaodong Peninsula is in the most difficult and difficult place. If the soldiers are not strong in their will, I am afraid it is..."

Emperor Zhao Xu thought about it and had to nod and admit it. "You are right. Although the imperial guards are practicing diligently, they still lack a trace of murderous aura and sharpness..."

"The old minister thinks that the northwest border army can be used, and it can be very useful." At this time, Su Dongpo interrupted. "For the past few years, the northwest border army of our Song Dynasty has been through battles for a long time, and every scene is full of bad battles, but our Song Dynasty will win every battle, which shows the elite of the northwest border army."

Emperor Zhao Xu smashed his mouth, and this is true. The most elite in the Song Dynasty is probably the only army of war that crawled out of the sea of ​​corpses and blood: the Northwest Frontier Army.

"Wang Wushan, what do you think?" After thinking about it, the emperor decided to ask Wang Yang, an old driver who had served as the strategic appeasement envoy of Shaanxi North Road, and he might have a better say.

"Your Majesty, the two old masters are very honest. If I want to gain a foothold in the Liaodong Peninsula, I must have an elite and brave brigade who is good at fighting and extremely brave. The Northwest Frontier Army has been in fierce battles over the years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it has been through a long battle formation."

"In addition, the northwest is bitter and cold, but it is similar to the Liaodong area. It is not too difficult for them to get used to it there, so I also think that they are the most suitable candidates."

"Who do you think among the generals of the northwest border army, who should lead the army?" Emperor Zhao Xu stroked his chin and couldn't help but feel a little excited.

After all, this is the first time in the history of the Song Dynasty's army, which has been to Liaodong. Although it does not belong to the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, it at least means that it will do what many of its ancestors have never done before, allowing the soldiers of the Song Dynasty to set foot on the former land of the Han and Tang dynasties that had been occupied by foreign races for hundreds of years.

Su Dongpo, Wang Yang, and Zhang Yue gathered together, and after a quiet murmur, Su Dongpo, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, finally made a speech. "Your Majesty, we think that the defense envoy of Yin, Shi and Long in the North Road of Shaanxi Provinces Zhong Shidao is a relatively suitable candidate for Liaodong coach."

"Why isn't Zhe Keshi?" Emperor Zhao Xu was slightly stunned and asked back with a little confusion.

"Your Majesty, General Zhe will play a greater role in staying on Shaanxi North Road than going to the Liaodong Peninsula." Su Dongpo smiled and explained patiently.

"The most feared people in Xixia is Wangwu Mountain, and the second fear is General Zhe. General Zhe faced Xixia several times, and Xixia was burned to Xingqing Cang and destroyed the Wang Tomb. If the soldiers of the Xia army heard about his name, they would be afraid and retreated."

"So, if General Zhe stays on the North Shaanxi Road, he will be able to shock Xixia and warn the East Road of Beiliaohe. The two countries dare not move lightly."

"If General Zhe went to Liaodong, then if the Northern Liao dynasty and the people of the Northern Liao Dynasty heard the news, they would be shocked. I am afraid that our Song Dynasty will use Liaodong as a springboard to invade its hinterland, and we will definitely launch a large army to invade early."

"As for General Zhong Shidao, it is different from General Zhe Keshi. General Zhe is good at attacking, while General Zhong is good at defending, and General Zhong is calm and cautious in his work but not dangerous."

"What is important is that although General Zhong has also made a great attack on Shaanxi North Road over the years, his reputation has not been revealed in the world..."

After hearing what Wang Yang and the other three said, the emperor Zhao Xu finally agreed to the advice of the three, and transferred the teacher's way and 5,000 elite troops from the northwest border to the Jiaodong Peninsula and waited to cross the sea to the island.

In addition, after agreeing to Wang Yang's recommendation, he decided to let Zong Ze, the governor of Longzhou, Shaanxi, go with him. At that time, Zong Ze is responsible for governing the people, and the kind of teacher is responsible for governing the army.

"Wangwushan, I, the Song Dynasty, can I really gain a foothold on the Liaodong Peninsula?" Even though the emperor had agreed to this plan, he turned his head and looked at the map, and he couldn't help but feel suspicious.

After all, the Liaodong Peninsula is surrounded by the sea on three sides. As long as the Northern Liao army attacks and the defenders stationed on the island will either fight to the death or retreat to the Jiaodong Peninsula in a mess through the navy.
