Chapter 593 Legend

Wang Hou continued: "Tanhua Lang said that as long as you occupy Tiandu Mountain, the Song Dynasty will have obtained the greatest benefits, so now we all have common interests and can cooperate."

"As for how the situation will develop in the future, it is difficult to predict. He only asked me to give you one sentence."

Li Wenzhao asked: "What are you talking about?"

Wang Hou solemnly said: "Tanhua Lang said that whether Marquis Fuping chooses to be his friend or his enemy, it will be the most cherished honor in his life."

Li Wenzhao finally became solemn and stood up to salute: "Su Tanhua is so elegant and elegant. Wen Zhao is inexplicably impressed by her. He only regrets that he has pledged his life to the country and it is difficult for him to follow her and serve her."

"Please tell Su Tanhua that if we meet on the battlefield, Wen Zhao will do his best to defeat him, so that he can live up to Tanhua Lang's respect for Wen Zhao. In order to have the ability to fight against him in the future, Tiandu Mountain's generous gift

, Wen Zhao accepted it."

Wang Hou said: "Marquis Fuping, don't take it easy. There are still 25,000 troops in Tiandu Mountain."

Li Wenzhao smiled: "That's for you."

…

A sailboat, completely black with only huge white sails, was sailing through the sea at a speed that was difficult for ordinary sea-going ships.

This ship also has a longitudinal sail and jib structure, but the Kuizhou type is very different.

The Hangzhou-type schooner was finally finalized. The bow is raised into a triangular pyramid shape, which can avoid surges to the greatest extent without reducing the speed of the ship.

The hull width has also been widened a lot to achieve greater stability.

The length is very terrifying, 86 meters, and one ship can occupy the entire city shipping department dock.

The reason why such a great achievement can be achieved is that breakthroughs in hydraulic technology made cold-rolled steel keels possible.

Different from the pure steel cold-rolled keel of later generations, the keel of the Hangzhou-type schooner is actually like an iron centipede, firmly grasping the original wooden keel.

The hull is completely enclosed, with countless windows opening below the deck, and inside are huge ballistae. This ship is not a simple merchant ship, but a warship with fierce combat capabilities.

Different from the city defense ballistae, the ballistae used by battleships introduced a pulley block, lengthened the length, and shortened the crossbow arm in order to accommodate more firepower on the side of the ship.

Therefore, on both sides of the hull, one side can be equipped with eighteen ballistas, and there are two positions on each side. This is the new weapons test area allocated by Suzhou Oil. What is installed there is the naval warfare thunderbolt cannon.

The copper-cased thunderbolt cannon is still a top secret among weapons inspectors and is still far from being finalized.

The thunderbolt cannon on this ship can only be loaded with warheads and powder bags.

Many problems.

Communication deficiencies, doctrine deficiencies, design deficiencies, not to mention many, just a medicine package to prevent moisture and equipment to prevent sea wind corrosion are huge problems.

Actual combat and research and development in the design room are completely different things. The ship is constantly collecting test data in order for the artillery to be officially put on the ship as soon as possible.

Zhang San was in the captain's cabin, recording the logbook and test data, feeling chilled in his heart.

The young master asked the navy to come up with semaphores and lights. Let’s not talk about how difficult this is.

For these four artillery pieces, to ensure shooting accuracy, the rifling must be effective. However, if the current gun barrels are to meet Su You's claim that they can hit large ships at a distance of 700 steps at sea, they can only have about ten guns.

After ten shots, the impact points were all messed up.

But these are things that the senior military supervisors consider. What he has to do is to faithfully record the data. It doesn't work here, it doesn't work here, it doesn't work here - it still doesn't work!

Thinking of this, Zhang San suddenly had the urge to laugh. He heard that the director of the Ordnance Supervision and Technology Department was the husband-in-law of the younger sister. Hahahaha, is my little sister so easy to marry?

In fact, if 700 steps doesn't work, move closer to 300 steps; if you can't hit the ships, you can bomb the seaports and big coastal cities;

Isn’t it the same thing to blow up the harbor and turn the ships into pieces of wood floating on the sea?

Science and engineering pay attention to practicality. The gunners on the ship hold Zhuge Liang meetings every day and use various local methods to solve many problems.

But why should I tell this cheap brother-in-law these simple solutions?!

Who is willing to resort to crude methods when the problem can be solved from the source? It’s his fault!

Just then, the first mate came and knocked on the door: "Report!"

Zhang San put down the quill in his hand: "What's the matter?"

The first mate said: "Report to command, Ambassador Jin wants to see you!"

Goryeo was isolated from the Liao Kingdom and paid tribute for more than 40 years. The Tongwen Museum in Bianjing City was almost abandoned. It was only put online in the past few years.

The items enshrined in Goryeo usually include tiger skins, swords, folding fans, celadon and other objects, as well as a cute little pony. Nowadays, there is an ancient pacemaker - ginseng.

The imperial court gave back nearly ten thousand pieces of silk.

But today's so-called tribute is often confused by businessmen. When Su Shi arrived in Hangzhou, he reported directly to Zhao Xu that there were too many liars from foreigners defrauding the Song Dynasty's property in the name of tribute. He requested that the diplomatic etiquette be rectified. Without the king's envoys, documents, and ceremonial guards,

, please treat it as an ordinary businessman.

Even if they are real envoys, they can only follow the prescribed path and strictly inspect the printed matter and printing tools that leave the customs.

The writings on states and counties, maps, and household registers are not allowed to be seen by foreigners! North Korean traders get these and sell them at high prices from the Liao Kingdom. This is something you can even dream of with your toes!

It should be said that Dasu is very clear in this regard.

Today, Goryeo is in its golden age. The eleventh generation of monarchs is promoting culture and education, with both Buddhism and Confucianism being emphasized.

A few years ago, the prince who believed in Buddhism became a monk at Xingwang Temple. He was named Yitian and was granted the title of Grand Master of Dajue.

Confucianism is represented by the recently deceased civil servant Cui Chong, known as "Haidong Confucius".

The country had a clear political life and a prosperous economy. It was known as "Little China" for a while. All the ruling classes in the territory could not speak Chinese. Even the embassy built by the Song Dynasty for Goryeo was named "Tongwen Pavilion" to show the difference from other countries.

.

Song people were also treated very well in Goryeo. Many businessmen came to Goryeo, and the Goryeo people were very considerate.

Hundreds of Fujian merchants settled in Goryeo, and many even obtained official positions in Goryeo. In addition to sugar-coated bullets, many were forced to stay.

Restoring the tributary relationship and cultural exchanges with the Song Dynasty is the urgent wish of the current Goryeo monarch Wang Hui.

The success of the iron-framed sea-going ship made the Hangzhou-type schooner immediately become the maritime hegemon, and the maritime trade advantage originally occupied by the Fujian people was immediately broken.

Of course there are small tricks. On the first voyage of the Hangzhou type, it encountered several pirate attacks.

Zhang San laughed angrily. The Hangzhou type did not even use long-range weapons. The sailors on the ship were all elites selected by Su You from the Dun'an Army and the Crane Control Army. A burst of crane-shin crossbows and hand-thrown thunderbolts cleared the deck.

Then Teng Jia and Er Lin's thin knife jumped down from a high place, and then used grenades to clean the bottom cabin, and in turn robbed other people's ships.

The law of the sea is that the weak will prey on the strong. After hanging the pirates into a large iron cage on the bow of the ship and drying them for two times, the prisoners honestly revealed all the details about their proprietors.

Then came the liquidation, leaving aside the ones on the Song Dynasty mainland. The pirate lairs on strange islands deployed by Fujian merchants in other countries were eliminated one by one. While training the marines, there was no need to find new land targets for testing.

Then came the burning of villages, destruction of harbors, and shipwrecks.

Next, the Fujian wealthy merchants who participated in the conspiracy had one of their ships go to sea, one disappear, a group went to sea, and another group disappeared.

There is nothing new under the sun. Absolute hegemony at sea was quickly established, and a group of younger brothers came to join him.

Order was re-established, a wave of old forces sank into the vast sea, and a wave of new forces rose above the sea.

In the sea area north of Hangzhou, there is an overlord named Tang Silang, whose name is only heard but whose person is not seen. He controls the black and white forces on the entire northern waterway, and starts sea trade business with Liao Kingdom, Japan, and Goryeo.

Every time they docked at the port, there were three huge black fortune ships. The rare treasures on them attracted the rich and powerful businessmen from all over the world.

"I ordered Xiao Weike, the governor of Fuzhou in the Liao Kingdom, to promote the shipping affairs of Fuchuan City under Bingchen A in March. Tang Si."

Just such a small piece of paper means huge wealth.

This is the music that all the governors, governors, and wealthy merchants of all seaport cities most long to receive.

However, Zhang San and his Hangzhou-type schooner had already left the offshore route, and those ordinary sea-going ships that now only dare to sail along the coastline rarely see it again.
