sweeping the world

Chapter 284
Hmm... something tragic happened, that is, when the fleet of the Eastern Jin Xiao~chao~ting left the mouth of the Yangtze River, that is, on the side of Yangzhou, a strong wind directly overturned the largest ship.

What is Yu Yi's identity?It had to be on the largest building boat, and the result was that when the boat capsized, including him, as long as there were more dignified people in the envoy, all of them were unlucky.

Fortunately, the group of nobles were on the deck at that time, and they were able to swim like dogs for a while when the ship capsized. Most of them were rescued by the ships next to them, and a few of them sank into the sea with the ship and fed the fish and shrimp.

There were survivors of the nobles, not too few, and some of the crew and sailors, entourages, maids, etc. also escaped, and the remaining nearly 800 people and a large number of valuable supplies were all buried in the sea.

Ship capsizing at sea did not happen uncommonly in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The blame is only Xiao~chao~ting did not listen to the advice of professionals and insisted on sailing the five-story ship out to sea.

After the shipwreck, Xiao~Chao~Ting doesn't care if anyone persuaded them before, the upper level will never make mistakes, the middle and lower levels are wrong, and the result is that the captain of the fleet was beheaded. One of the surviving crew members, attendants, and maids all lost their heads.

"The fleet of Xiao~chao~ting in the Eastern Jin Dynasty stopped at Jingkou (formerly called Dantu), and asked us to send the fleet." Lu Yi said with a constipated expression on his face: "The request is a large fleet, and we must show that the small~chao~ting prestige."

The list seems to be more detailed, how many large ships are needed, how many warships are needed, and the number of naval forces dispatched cannot be less than that.

Of course, the Han Department is divided into the inland water army and the sea navy, and the Eastern Jin Xiao~chao~ting is collectively called the water army.

The small~chao~court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty didn't understand what kind of ships the navy of the Han Dynasty had. They judged the size of the ships based on their own division, that is, "materials".

1 material is about 0.325 tons, and the five-story ship that overturned was 3500 materials, which is a ship of 1137.5 tons.In fact, the number of such ships in the Eastern Jin Dynasty was very small. The choice of a five-story ship as the initial flagship was definitely for pretense.However, it is obvious that the Eastern Jin Xiao~chao~ting’s way of pretending to be coercive ended as soon as they left the house, and nearly a thousand people were compensated for not pretending to be coercive.

3500 materials!That's really huge. You need to know that even in the Middle Ages in the West, the tonnage of ships was mainly 200 to 400 tons, and there were very few ships that exceeded 400 tons.One thing that is quite pitiful is that Westerners play in the sea, while Easterners play inland river boats.

There are many types of ships on the Han side, such as the largest number of Kirk sailing ships, which are 200 tons, and they are mainly used as troop carriers.After the latter system can produce ships other than fishing boats, the unnamed transport ship has a load of 400 tons.Among the battleships, the one that shoots the bed crossbow is only 250 tons, and the one that breathes fire is 200 tons.

Affected by the extreme needs of the land forces, Liu Yan did not "summon" many sea ships, because it was an extremely unnecessary thing, and the transport ships were still useful, and the "summoning" of warships was purely dust, so it was only "Summon" a handful of warships.

It must be noted that a ship is summoned to carry a crew, and the upper limit of the consumed population is only 1, but the crew on it cannot do other things except participate in the operation of the ship.

Liu Yan was actually happy when he received the request from the Eastern Jin Xiao~chao~ting.

Borrowing other people's things to show off, is that still showing off?Or what does the Eastern Jin Xiao~chao~ting want to do?
"The other side asks for tribute, and they will choose what ships they need from the fleet." Lu Yi felt constipated because of this: "Shameless to a certain extent."

"No, the other party is afraid." Ji Chang thought from another direction: "We are the only one in the 'world' who can sail the sea freely. Xiao~chao~ting has long wanted to obtain the method of building sea ships."

That's really the case. For example, the guy named Mr. Gong Tao is actually called Sima Ru. He tried every means to spy on the shipbuilding sites of the Han Ministry, and more than once bribed the officials of the Han Ministry in order to obtain the blueprint of the sea-going ship.This guy has been arrested on the Korean peninsula, and the place of detention is Ma Shi Jin.

Looking at the surname Sima, Sima Ru should be the royal family of the Eastern Jin Dynasty?In fact, it is not the case.His original surname was Zhuo, and Sima was given the surname.

What Ji Chang said is not wrong at all. There is really only a mature sea-going ship system in the Han Dynasty in the east. The rest basically don’t understand the difference between sea-going ships and inland river boats. As a result, many people use inland river boats to sail on the sea. .Inland river boats are fine when the sea is calm and calm, but once they encounter slightly larger waves, it is basically a tragic end.

"Should we send a fleet?" Ji Chang was inclined to send a large fleet, he said: "Not going ashore, just picking up people."

"Isn't it realistic?" Sang Yu said with a grin, "Those wastes in the south are good to enjoy, and they will definitely bring countless pots and pots with them when they go out many times, and entourage and maids are even more essential. If you don't go to the shore, you can't do it with boats and boats." How many large objects are on board."

Liu Yan asked strangely: "Big object?"

"Yes, yes." Sang Yu pointed his fingers: "There must be a bed, plus the screens, desks, and many other utensils they are used to, maybe there are dressing tables and so on?"

Liu Yan was stunned for a moment.

The enjoyment of the Jin nobles has reached such a point that they still have to bring a bed with them when they go out?This is not a joke at all, they have to prepare for a long time to go out, the necessary enjoyment is absolutely indispensable, and they will never go out without it.

"It's not that exaggerated..." Lu Yi said with a wry smile, "It's only done when there are conditions, it's not that it can't be done."

"In other words, Yu just said one thing, there will definitely be actresses and Meiji, right?" Seeing Lu Yi's admission, Sang Yu said with a smile: "How can it be possible for actresses and Meiji to serve others without dressing up? How much trouble will they carry?" Necessary supplies?"

Lu Yi was speechless.

Jin people have an almost morbid insistence on the enjoyment of women's sex. This does not distinguish between the north and the south of the Yangtze River. Let's look at several Han tribes who were originally family patriarchs or high-level figures. Who doesn't have a group of actresses, beauties, dancers, cook.The division of labor among these women is quite detailed, some are dedicated to serving people sleeping and grooming, some are dedicated to serving people eating, drinking, and drinking, and some are specialized in singing and dancing.

"Go!" Liu Yan made a decision: "It must be the Grand Fleet!"

The small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty has never paid attention to the Han, and has always thought that it can be manipulated at will. Even if the Han army killed the Xuzhou army, it only made the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty pay more attention to it, but it is still holding on to what it wants. attitude.

"It's not to pick up people." Liu Yan said slowly: "Go around and let those short-sighted guys see what a navy is."

Ji Chang understood in no time, he was going to demonstrate, and then he was going to ridicule the small~chao~ting of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, maybe laying the groundwork for future trade?
How big is a fleet?Liu Yan picked out nearly 150 ships and warships, [-] of which were simply "summoned" temporarily.

The main naval bases of the Han Dynasty are Ma-Shi-Jin. After they got the order, they rushed back to Lingshan Island to meet with the friendly forces. The fleet of 1 ships carried out the necessary supplies in Changguang County, and then started the mighty battle. go south.

Ships over [-] tons are never small in size, especially not in the style of building ships.In this way, three hundred ships lined up to sail, and it seemed that the space they occupied was a vast expanse.

Because there is no major war in Qingzhou for the time being, Ji Chang volunteered to go south as the No.1 fleet.They were sailing against the wind, so of course they couldn't sail in a straight line. In fact, they sailed in a circle. That was the way to sail again when the monsoon didn't allow it.

From Changguang County in Qingzhou to the mouth of the Yangtze River in Yangzhou, the straight-line distance on the map is about [-] miles. Considering that it is impossible to sail in a straight line, it is difficult to calculate the distance traveled by anyone.

It took nearly 20 days, when Ji Chang saw the land again, he inquired and found out that he was close to a place called Shazhou Island or what kind of island, and the route moved westward to the mouth of the Yangtze River.

Along the way, the fleet did not encounter any ships at sea until they approached the Eastern Jin Xiao~chao~ting site, and the ships were only seen when they were closer to the mouth of the Yangtze River.

For such a huge fleet of the Han Navy to approach the mouth of the Yangtze River, in fact, the Yangtze River Navy of the Eastern Jin Dynasty's small~chao~ting was confused and frightened when they received the news.

The scale of the Yangtze River navy of the Eastern Jin Xiao~chao~ting was not small at all. It can be said that without any other troops, the Xiao~chao~ting would not dare to lose the construction of the Yangtze River navy.

The Yangtze River is a natural danger, and if there is a natural danger, there must be corresponding troops to defend it, otherwise no matter how natural the danger is, it will not be reliable.Of the more than [-] troops in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Yangtze River Navy alone accounted for half, and more than [-]% of the total military expenditure was spent on the Yangtze River Navy!
After receiving the news that a large fleet was approaching at the mouth of the Yangtze River, the small-chao-ting naval forces of the Eastern Jin Dynasty assembled wantonly after being confused. They definitely did not think that the fleet came from the Han Dynasty, but they thought that the large fleet belonged to Shijie Zhao State .

Shihu recruited tens of thousands of people to build ships fiercely, with the purpose of attacking Murong Xianbei in eastern Liao 10 from the sea.

Shijie Zhao Guoxuan's shipbuilding site was on the edge of Qingzhou. After Liu Yan's rise, Shihu's shipbuilding business could not continue.In the end, most of the artisans and laborers recruited by force fell into Liu Yan's hands, and the rest were brutally drowned.

"What, what...!?" Yu Bing lost his composure, he was stunned and dazed, and he absolutely must be confused: "Zhao Jun's navy?"

Come on, after a long time in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Xiao~chao~ting still didn't know which side was approaching the mouth of the Yangtze River.Is it to blame that the navy of the Han Dynasty is too far away from the shore? Isn't it because the navy of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was afraid of being frightened by the ship capsizing incident and did not dare to send ships out to investigate?
