sweeping the world

Chapter 285
On the sea, the Han army is waving, and there must be a Han flag with red characters on a black background on the mast of every ship.

How much space do three hundred ships occupy on the surface of the sea?The length of each ship will not be less than 23 meters, and the width is basically more than six meters. There must be enough distance between each other, especially for the purpose of forming a clear formation. You can see the head but not the head. to the end.

Maybe it's a mistake to say that you can't see the end?The Grand Fleet can still see the outline of the ships in front, while the ships behind can only see the sails or masts.That is something determined by the elliptical shape of the earth. Isn't it that when you are far away, you see the mast before you see the hull!
"Row upon row!" Yu Bing stared until his eyes became round: "Come from the sea!"

What does row upon row mean?It is often used to describe buildings, ships, etc. that are arranged very densely and neatly.There are two allusions to this idiom, "Poetry. Zhou Song. Liang Si": "If you get it, you will get it, and if you accumulate it, it will be millet. It is worshiped like Yong, and it is like comb."; Southern Song Dynasty (not Zhao Song Dynasty). Bao According to the poem "Ode to History": "The twelve avenues of the capital, each with scales."

Of course, what Yu Bing said was not "rows and rows", he said a lot, but it's just such a simple statement.

It is indeed very neat and dense. The large fleet is approaching the Yangtze River outlet in a dark mass. Looking at the Han flag hunting and looking at the arrangement of the ship array, you can feel a strong sense of oppression even if you are far away.

"No, shouldn't it!?" Xie An is only 23 years old this year. He looks like a young and gentle guy. He is very well-dressed and meticulous. He seems to be a very polite person, but seeing the large fleet He said in a daze: "Four years, just four years, Mr. Liu... No, how could King Qi develop a strong army on land and build a navy?"

There is no way, Liu Yan, who has a golden finger, can be so willful, and can do things so unreasonably.

King Qi?The new emperor of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Sima Yue, was much more generous than the previous one. The latest conclusion was that Liu Yan was crowned King of Qi. This was only concluded after the Han army annihilated the Xuzhou army. Before that, neither the previous Eastern Jin emperor nor the imperial court They can all agree.

Yu Bing's eyes were terrifying, he stared at the increasingly distinct large fleet, and subconsciously said: "It doesn't matter how it develops, if it can be used by us..." I didn't say the following words, I guess it was me Feel too bad?
Do you know how much money the Eastern Jin small~chao~ting maintained the huge Yangtze River navy every year?If it were exchanged for copper coins, several mountains would definitely be filled.

Do you understand why the Eastern Jin Dynasty kept expanding to the southwest?Apart from the fact that the homeland north of the Yangtze River is difficult to recover, it is not just to obtain wood for shipbuilding.

Not all kinds of wood can be used to build a ship. Furthermore, enough tung oil is needed. A large amount of wood that can be used for shipbuilding in the south of the Yangtze River is consumed. Can the Eastern Jin Dynasty bully the indigenous people in the southwest?Not to mention!The Eastern Jin Dynasty also regained a lost homeland, that is Jiaozhi, and established Jiaozhou there, and set up Wuping County, Jiaozhi County, Jiuzhen County, Jiude County, and Rinan County.

"Yes, if it can be used by us, it will be easy to regain the Central Plains!" Xie An just said something: "It's a pity, he has already been crowned king..."

Sima 1 The state of Jin didn't pay attention to whether people with different surnames could be named kings, otherwise they wouldn't have made Murong Hao the king of Yan.But that is for the Hu people, there is really no example of people with different surnames being named kings for people who are also of Huaxia Miao descent.

The small~chao~ting of the Eastern Jin Dynasty made Liu Yan king?Then there is really nothing to say, either as a foreign race, or as a sworn enemy.

Yu Yi pursed his lips at the side. They were all beautiful men in his family, each of them looked more handsome than the other, even if they pursed their lips, they looked very good-looking.He lowered his voice and said, "Wait for them to dock later, are they following the plan?"

A group of people look at me and I look at you, all of them are a little dazed.

"I'm afraid... it will be difficult." Yu Bing was full of tangles: "I thought it would be a lot if there were only a few ships coming, but I didn't expect..."

Up to now, the group of Xiao~chao~ting in the Eastern Jin Dynasty haven't counted how many ships from the Han Dynasty have come, and they only see neat rows of ships.When the number is too large, how can they play tricks?
They were standing on a certain mountain on the shore, and the higher the altitude, the clearer they could see.On the other side of the Yangtze River estuary is a densely packed Han navy, and on the west side of the river is a densely packed Eastern Jin inland water army. Looking at the other side of the Jingkou, there should be a group of Shijie Zhao troops who are in a panic.

By the way, the allusion of jittery comes from Fu Jian's southward journey in the pre-Qin period, and two idioms, "Throwing the whip and cutting off the water", were also born.

Ji Chang was also looking at the shore, holding a cylinder-shaped thing in his hand, closing the other eye, with a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth: "Those guys on the top of the mountain, they should belong to Xiao~chao~ting. A noble minister?"

The cylindrical thing is of course a monocular.Now that this thing has appeared, it means that the Han Dynasty has also made the glass.It has to be said that it is too late for the glass thing to come out now... too late... too late...

As far back as five or six thousand years ago, the Egyptians first invented fired glass, which later spread across the European continent.

At first, it might be thought that the glass of overcast ultrasound was also imported from the West, but archaeological discoveries have broken this view.

In 1965, a Shang Dynasty blue-glazed imprinted statue was unearthed in Henan. The mouth of the statue has five thick and transparent glass glazes of dark green.

In 1975, thousands of colored glass tubes and beads were unearthed in the tombs of Bao 1 Jiru 1 Jia 1 Zhuang in the early and middle Zhou Dynasty. According to the identification of ancient objects by Chinese and foreign scientists, they are lead-barium glass, which is different from western soda-lime glass. The glass of Tianchao developed from a self-contained system.

Archaeological discoveries also show that the glass of the Celestial Dynasty was later than that of Egypt. It sprouted in the Shang Dynasty and started firing in the Western Zhou Dynasty at the latest.

"Mu Tianzi Biography" records that King Mu of Zhou climbed the mountain of quarrying stones and ordered the people to quarry stones and cast them into utensils, which is to make glass.However, the ancients called glass in the early days of the Celestial Dynasty Jiulin, colored glaze, porcelain glaze, biliuli, medicinal jade, water essence, jar jade, etc. After the Southern and Northern Dynasties (that is, the period of the Five Husties in China), it was sometimes also called glassware, material utensils, etc. .

With glass, choose and polish the lens with less air bubbles after thousands of choices. Knowing that the telescope is far away from the fold, it is not too simple to manufacture.It's just that the yield rate will be relatively low, and the process is troublesome, but whoever let Liu Yan get so many craftsmen.When Shihu recruited craftsmen, he wanted to build ships, but no matter how many low-level talents there were, he would not only choose craftsmen who could build boats.After the overflow of craftsmen on Liu Yan's side, they can be willful if they want to study other things.

The estuary of the Yangtze River was narrow and wide in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. There is an island shaped like an egg at the estuary.If Liu Yan came here in person, he would find that the current south of the Yangtze River is completely different from the one he knows. For example, there is no Shanghai 1 Shanghai now, and the Shanghai 1 Shanghai is now sinking under the bottom of the sea, and that one looks like an egg. The islands do not exist in modern times.

"Master, where shall we set sail and stop the boat?"

"Just around the island."

Yu Bing and other people from the Eastern Jin Dynasty were originally waiting for the Han Navy to dock with various emotions, and they also ordered to make various preparations, but the Han Navy actually sailed to the small island not far from the sea. stop moving?

At this time, the Hanbu Navy had put down the boat and went to check the water depth and reef conditions near the island.

Since the location is the estuary of the Yangtze River, the water flow must be easy to figure out and too difficult to enter. After all, that is the direction of the water flow.

It is probably the first time that the boat that has been put down has encountered such a situation. As a result, it is not close to the estuary of the Yangtze River and can still be paddled forward. It takes a lot of effort to move forward when it reaches the upstream area, but as it gets deeper and deeper The more difficult it is to move forward.In the end, the people on the boat really exhausted their energy. First, under the watchful eyes of countless people, a small boat floated out to sea with the current, and then it seemed to have an effect, and the rest of the small boats also drifted with the current.

"..." Ji Chang was stunned, he really didn't know that this would happen.

In fact, the Navy of the Han Dynasty has never used a small boat to flush a certain river out of the sea. It entered the Yellow River a few times and also followed the wind and added the thrust of the oars.

Yu Bing laughed out loud, "Ha ha!", and the rest of the people were also laughing.They were actually quite worried before, but after watching the scene just now, they were finally able to laugh.

"They don't understand inland water warfare." Xie An still had something to say: "In this way, they won't be afraid of breaking into the Yangtze River."

is not that right?The reason why the inland water army that is a little further inward from the mouth of the Yangtze River is waiting in full force is that it is worried about being rushed into the Yangtze River by a fleet that did not know who it belonged to before.

Knowing that the Grand Fleet belonged to the Han Dynasty, the Yangtze River Navy in the Eastern Jin Dynasty not only did not relax, but became more nervous.That's because the Hu people don't understand water, and no matter how large the fleet is, it still looks like that, but there is no shortage of Jin people on the Han side, especially the Han army captured a lot of people in the Huaishui generation of Xuzhou, and they couldn't tolerate them not being nervous.

What happened, the navy of the Han Dynasty actually rushed out of the sea with a small boat, is there anything more revealing than this that they don't understand river warfare?
Ji Chang wanted to bang his head against the wall at this moment, he looked to the side complainingly, it was a strong man with no expression on his face, he was the captain of this battleship.

Well, the strong man is actually a creature summoned by the system, and every ship has such an existence.

After the system upgrade, the creatures summoned by the system have IQs, but I don't know what the situation is, and many things can't be communicated at all, let alone reminding people of something.They just follow Liu Yan's orders and do some of their own work.

Ji Chang didn't understand and didn't understand, but he knew that this time it was a big embarrassment!
