There were tanks in the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 399 Site Selection of the Naval Base
Wang Delin served as the envoy of Tongzhou Zhizhi, and also served as the deputy envoy of inspection on Huainan East Road.

Officer, it is not small.

But compared with Li Chu's official positions, this is incomparable.

In the county government office, Wang Delin warmly entertained Li Chu and his party. During the banquet, Wang Delin also asked about the so-called Qilin army coming here. To Li Chu.

"What else is there, Fang Labai."

While peeling the prawns, Li Chu said nonchalantly, "The prawns here are really good, but the cook is not very good at it."

Pure natural prawns, can it be bad?
Now it is in the Song Dynasty. At this time, there is no such metal pollution in the later generations. At this time, the sea water is blue, without any pollution, and the seafood inside is also pure natural, and it is wild. The taste can be bad. what?

Traveling here, Li Chu hasn't eaten shrimp or seafood for a long time. It's rare to come to Tongzhou this time, so he must eat enough.

Hearing Li Chu speak so frankly and directly explaining the goal, Wang Delin also nodded, which was just as he had guessed in his heart. It really was for Fang La, and only in this way can it make sense why the Qilin Army on Southwest Beijing Road would be killed. Transferred here.

Wang Delin is a soldier, especially fighting Japanese pirates along the coast all year round. His military vision is not bad. In the current situation in this country, unless the court sends the Western Army, Fangla in the south is really only the Qilin Army. .

"I don't know the secret..."

"Secret decree, since this is a secret decree, how can it be seen by others?"

Wang Delin was a little embarrassed.

He is the envoy of the Tongzhou system. Your Qilin army has come here, but I have not received any mobilization orders from my side. If you don't show it to me, it will be out of courtesy.

Li Chu saw his worry, but his hands are busy buying seafood at this time, how can he get the secret decree for him with his hands free?Besides, there is a secret purpose of the ball.

"I am now leading a small group of soldiers to come here in secret to preside over the overall situation. The government will officially issue an order in a few days, and then all the Qilin Army will rush here. I have also considered it for a long time. , still use your Tongzhou as the offensive station, so I will disturb you during this period of time from now on, and I have to rely on the royal system to set up envoys to share a lot."

Wang Delin immediately clasped his fists and said, "It's my duty to wipe out bandits. General Li has a need, so just ask him to do so."

After breakfast, Wang Delin followed Li Chu and others on fast horses to inspect along the river bank.

The satellite map is a high-altitude aerial photography. It is possible to see the trend of mountains and dragons and the distribution of mountains and rivers, but some things are not clear enough on the satellite map. It is far less clear than seeing it in person.

Fang La has captured Hangzhou, and is preparing to attack Suzhou along the way for the past two days.

Chongde, Xiuzhou, and Huating along the Suzhou route have already been taken down by Fang La. From what Li Xuan learned, it is estimated that Wujiang at this time may have also fallen into Fang La's hands.

This Wujiang is the gateway to the south of Suzhou. After defeating Wujiang, the city of Suzhou is in sight.

This fellow Zhu Xi ran the fastest, as if he had learned a lesson from that guy Wang Qing, and he really couldn't escape anyone else, and he had already gone to Jiangning at this time.

Jiangning, that is, Jingnan in the market outlook. (The starting point is harmonious, modern city names are not allowed, otherwise it will automatically become capital letters, so the names are rotated sequentially.)
When the Yangtze River reaches Tongzhou, it is already the mouth of the sea. The river is very wide. Standing here, you can't see the other side of the river at all, only the vast river.

Along with Li Chu and Wang Delin this time, there are also two fishermen here. All of these fishermen are good at diving. This is Li Chu who is here to help detect the water depth.

Li Chu didn't know the depth of the water at the mouth of the sea. He customized a large steel ruler and let the fishermen pull it down to dive to the bottom of the water to measure the depth of each section.

After taking the water depth of several locations on the estuary side, Li Chu led them back to the northeast.

Li Chu still remembers that there are many good ports along the coastline on the northeast side of Shanghai.

However, when Li Chu turned to the northeast, he saw the sea after walking less than half of the expected distance.

And this is not the kind of deep-water port that Li Chu imagined, but a shallow sandy bay, like a crescent moon. The seabed is shallow and deep like terraced fields, and then gradually extends to the bottom of the sea. Fishing boats cannot be moored.

how so.

Li Chu is also counting on building a large sea ship base here. The custom coins in the system are enough for him to customize one or two sea ships, but right now...

Looking at the beach in front of me.

He remembered one thing.

Reclamation!

In later generations, there were many reclamation projects in Shanghai...

What a fool, those deep-water ports that dare to go to are all reclaimed from the sea.

In the end, Li Chu decided on a location where a naval base could be built.

That is Haimen!
Originally, seeing that the deep-water port here was filled with land and sea in the future, Li Chu planned to set his target on Chongming Island. There is a naval base on Chongming Island in later generations. Since a base can be built there, the surrounding Water depth is also possible.

But when Li Chu landed on Chongming Island and looked at Chongming Island composed of three small circular islands, he couldn't help cursing again in his heart.

What a cheat.

It's still a pot of filling the sea.

The later cuboid Chongming Island was also reclaimed from the sea.

Haimen County, this is the place in Tongzhou closest to the East China Sea.

There is a good deep-water port outside the north gate of Haimen County. Li Chu doesn't know how deep the water is. Anyway, these fishermen can't dive into the bottom of the sea here.

The fishermen did not have diving equipment, and they all dived with their breath held.

It still needs to be renovated, and it can still be used as a naval base.

When Wang Delin heard that Li Chu planned to build a navy barracks here, he was overjoyed, and immediately said that if he needed any help when building the navy barracks, the whole Tongzhou would do his best to help the Qilin army.

This help refers to manpower. In terms of financial resources, Wang Delin touched the back of his head. He is only a military officer. How can he have so much money?

Li Chu knew that the reason for Wang Delin's happiness was Japanese pirates.

This side of Haimen County is the East China Sea, and across the sea is the Kingdom of Japan. Japanese pirates often attack the coast of the East China Sea, burning, killing and looting here.

These Japanese pirates are vicious and vicious. Soldiers like Wang Delin fought against the Japanese pirates all the year round and fought with swords and guns in the battle with the Japanese pirates.

With the Qilin army setting up a navy barracks here, Japanese pirates would not dare to attack the coast of Tongzhou.

In addition, with the navy, the nearby coast will be protected by the navy at that time, which will be a huge help to the people along the southeast coast.

There is a navy in the court, but this navy...

In the battle of Huashigang, the navy has become a boatman. Who will care about the lives of your people?
