Chapter 1364 Zhong Shi Dao is a suitable candidate for Liaodong coach (third update)
Chapter 1373

Let’s take a look at the information about the most common 30-material sea-going ships along the coast of the Song Dynasty today. The hull is more than ten feet long, which is more than [-] meters, and the width is three feet and two feet, that is, the width is more than nine meters, and the cabin The depth to the deck is about [-] meter, the load capacity is [-] tons, which is about [-] tons, and the displacement is about [-] tons.

That is to say, this data is quite touching. The important thing is that the three thousand materials can only be regarded as the most common sea ship in the Song Dynasty.

There are even larger sea-going ships, such as the 350-ton ship, which has a displacement of more than 400 tons and a load capacity of [-] tons. It is more than enough to directly load Columbus's flagship [-] years later.

These are not counted. According to real historical records, according to the statistics of the three years from Song Taizong to Dao, the Song Dynasty built a total of 330 ships in this year.

During the Huizong period of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty ordered the shipyard to build two giant ships in order to send a delegation to visit Goryeo. One was named "Dingxinlishe Huaiyuan Kangji Shenzhou" and the other was named "Xunliu Anyi Tongji". Shenzhou".At the same time, six "customer recruiting boats" with [-] materials from supervisors in Fujian and Zhejiang were entrusted to accompany them.

So what about the loading capacity of the Shenzhou "Kangji" and "Tongji"?According to the records of "Xuanhe Fengshi Koryo Tujing", "the length, width and height of the Shenzhou, the use of practical objects, and the number of people are all three times that of the guest boats."In other words, the loading capacity of a Shenzhou is at least [-] materials.

But do you think this is the end?Haha, let me tell you, this is not the end yet. These two Shenzhous are not the largest ship merchants sailing out of the Song Dynasty port.

"Lingnan Daida" written by Zhou Qufei of the Southern Song Dynasty described a giant ship called "Mulan Boat", which was a huge merchant ship sailing from the Song Dynasty to the "Mulanpi Kingdom" (that is, the Murabbit Kingdom in West Africa): "Floating From the South China Sea to the south, the boat is like a giant house, and the sails are like clouds hanging from the sky. The boat is several feet long, and there are hundreds of people in the boat.

There is also a bigger Mulan boat: "The boat is getting bigger. A boat can accommodate a thousand people. There are bamboos and market wells on the boat. If there is no wind, it will take a few years to arrive. It must be a huge boat, and it cannot be reached. In this world The so-called Mulan boat may not be without big words."

Now that Wang Daguan has come to this era, since the shipbuilding industry of Song Dynasty is so powerful and the sea trade is so developed, then naturally Wang Yang will definitely help him along the way.

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

"In this case, I am going to let the Jiaodong Navy prepare for war and wait for news. Once the Nüzhi people take the Liaodong Peninsula, the navy will immediately go to defend it. In addition, five thousand elite imperial troops will be mobilized from Bianliang, Tokyo. Let's set off and go to Jiaodong to stand by. What do you think?"

"Your Majesty, I feel that it is inappropriate for the Imperial Guards in Beijing to go." At this time, the old driver Zhang Yi took a look at Wang Yang, saw Wang Yang's frequently beckoning eyes, shook his head helplessly, and stepped forward. One step, and bowed to the emperor.

"Most of the Forbidden Army in Beijing has never experienced battle, and the Liaodong Peninsula, deep behind the enemy, is the most difficult and difficult place. If the soldiers are not strong-willed, I am afraid..."

Emperor Zhao Xu thought for a while and had to nod his head in admission. "Your words are justified. Although the forbidden army is practicing hard now, they still lack a trace of murderous aura and vigor..."

"The veteran thinks that the Northwest Frontier Army is useful, and it can be of great use." At this time, Su Dongpo interjected. "In the past few years, our Northwest Frontier Army of the Great Song Dynasty has fought many battles, and every game is full of vicious battles, but our Great Song Dynasty must win every battle, which shows the elite of the Northwest Frontier Army."

The emperor Zhao Xu slammed his mouth, this is really true, the most elite of the Great Song Dynasty now, I am afraid that there is only the warrior who climbed out of the mountain of corpses and blood: the Northwest Frontier Army.

"Wang Wushan, what do you think?" After thinking about it, the Son of Heaven decided to ask Wang Yang, an old driver who used to be the appeasement envoy of North Shaanxi Road Economic Strategy. He might have a better say.

"Your Majesty, the words of the two elders are very sincere. If my Song Dynasty wants to gain a foothold in the Liaodong Peninsula, it must have an elite and unparalleled army. The Northwest Frontier Army has been fighting fiercely all these years. Among them, it is not an exaggeration to say that they have been battle-hardened.”

"In addition, the northwest is bitter, cold and difficult, but it is similar to the Liaodong. It is not too difficult for them to adapt there. Therefore, I also feel that they are the most suitable candidates."

"Then, gentlemen, among the generals of the northwest frontier army, who do you think 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 that they have gone to Liaodong. Although it does not belong to the Sixteenth State of Yanyun, it at least means that they will achieve something that many of their ancestors have never done. This incident allowed the soldiers of the Song Dynasty to set foot on the former homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties that had been occupied by foreigners for hundreds of years.

Su Dongpo, Wang Yang, and Zhang Wei, the three old drivers, gathered together, and after a while of whispering, Su Dongpo, the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, finally spoke. "Your Majesty, we believe that the defense envoys of Yin, Shi, and Long in Shaanxi North Road are more suitable candidates for the Liaodong coach."

"Why not Zhe Keshi?" Emperor Zhao Xu asked with some doubts after being taken aback for a moment.

"Your Majesty, General Zhe's stay on Shaanxi North Road will be more effective than going to Liaodong Peninsula." Su Dongpo smiled and explained patiently.

"Everyone in Xixia fears Wang Wushan the most, and the second most feared is General Zhe. General Zhe has fought against Xixia several times, and Xixia was even burned by him to burn the Xingqing warehouse and the tomb of the king. If the generals of the Xia army today Hearing his name, I will not fail to retreat with trembling fear."

"Therefore, if General Zhe stays on the North Shaanxi Road, it will be able to deter Xixia and warn the North Liaohe River. It will make the two countries dare not move lightly."

"If General Zhe goes to Liaodong, then if the Northern Liao government and people hear the news, they will definitely be shocked. I am afraid that the Great Song Dynasty will use Liaodong as a springboard to invade its hinterland, and the army will come early."

"As for General Zhong Shi Dao, it is different from General Zhe Keshi. General Zhe is good at attacking, while General Zhong is good at defending. Moreover, General Zhong has a calm personality and is cautious in doing things without taking risks."

"What's important is that General Zhong, although he has also launched an impressive offensive on Shaanxi North Road over the years, his reputation has not been revealed to the world..."

After listening to the words of Wang Yang and the other three, finally, the emperor Zhao Xu finally agreed with the three people's suggestions, and transferred Shi Dao and five thousand elite soldiers from the Northwest Frontier to go to the Jiaodong Peninsula to wait for crossing the island.

In addition, he agreed to Wang Yang's recommendation and decided to let Zongze, the magistrate of Longzhou in Shaanxi, go with him.At that time, Zong Ze will be in charge of governing the people, and that kind of teacher will be in charge of governing the army.

"Wang Wushan, can the Song Dynasty really gain a firm foothold on the Liaodong Peninsula?" Even though the emperor had already agreed to this strategy, when he turned around and saw the map, he couldn't help but wonder. Be suspicious.

After all, the Liaodong Peninsula is surrounded by the sea on three sides. As long as the Northern Liao army invades, the defenders stationed on the island will either resist desperately, or they can only retreat to the Jiaodong Peninsula through the navy in embarrassment.

It would be fine if he had never occupied Liaodong, but if he lost it after occupying it, it would be too embarrassing. It would also do a lot of damage to the prestige of the emperor Zhao Xu and the reputation of the Song Dynasty.
