Chapter 802: Sending troops
Su Song received an appointment from the imperial court, left his old lady's family and let them travel slowly, and he traveled from Yingtianfu to Hangzhou in only seven days.
Seeing Su You, Su Song howled and cried bitterly: "Mingrun...... Uncle Cousin's family is up and down...... Thirty-seven people......"
Su You hurriedly held Su Song up: "Brother Wan Mo is too injured and ruined, at this moment, we need to inherit Uncle Zong's will and plan for national affairs." Zhengsheng! Zhengsheng quickly fetched a basin of hot water for the uncle! ”
Ping Zhengsheng went to fart, without the consciousness of the heir of Japan's largest political force at all, this baby is pestering to go to Guangzhou with Su You these days, but Su You has not let go.
Serving Su Song to clean up, Su You handed over a thick booklet: "This is the key points of governance on the Liangzhejiang Road that were sorted out before, and they are all about the major events that are being unfolded today. ”
Su Song opened the booklet, starting with the general outline, followed by the table of contents, which was exactly the same as the reports of later generations.
Picking up his mood and swiping his finger across the catalog from top to bottom, Su Song already had a score on the major events of the economic construction of Liangzhejiang Road, nodded and said: "With this book in hand, I know what to do." ”
Su You arched his hand and said: "The development of Liangzhejiang Road is planned to take five years, so we cannot take it as a change to hinder the development of Liangzhejiang Road, but as an opportunity to boost the economy of Liangzhejiang Road." ”
"In the past, the imperial court was too simple and rude, but now the Liangzhejiang Road Transit Division is not short of money, so we decided to bid and buy it with money."
"The 500,000 stone grain of the Transshipment Division must be processed into instant dry food such as fried noodles and compressed biscuits, as well as all kinds of canned food, luncheon meat, bacon, sausage, ham sausage, and must be purchased."
"These have been issued to many workshops and factories around Taihu Lake through bidding and bidding. The imperial court could collect a tax. ”
"Now that the first batch of goods has been prepared, the north wind waits for no one, and I have to leave for Guangzhou."
Su Song pulled Su You: "Mingrun, the army has not yet arrived, you can't applaud......"
Su You said: "Li Changjie is not a stupid person, but the smarter he is, the more he will worry. I went this time to startle the snake. ”
"At the very least, there is no problem in relying on the Yijin Army to hold a Guangzhou."
Su Song knew that Su You's visit was mainly for defense this time, so he let go: "Don't be greedy for merit, wait for the arrival of the imperial army." Mingrun, my Su family can't afford to lose anymore, you ...... You are careful. ”
Su You bowed: "Brother don't worry, the country is hateful, Mingrun naturally remembers it." I won't wait for Wei'er's medicine ship, when she arrives in Hangzhou, you tell her that I will wait for her in Guangzhou. ”
After speaking, he took off the black yarn from the hat rack: "Guo Kui is a person who understands, and now he is still reorganizing the team, choosing generals, and delaying the movement of troops, just to prevent our army from fighting with Jiaozhi in the middle of summer." For this reason, I wrote to the imperial court to explain the matter...... Alas, I hope Your Majesty will not be in such a hurry. ”
Su Song nodded: "Anger does not raise soldiers." Mingrun's cultivation and temperament, after all, after being tempered by the battle array, are far better than me. It's a shame for me to be a brother. ”
Su You put on his hat and saluted Su Song again: "Brother, you take care of your condolences for many years, Mingrun is gone." This time, I have to seek justice for Da Song and my brothers! ”
Turning his head and calling Ping Zhengsheng: "Zhengsheng, let's go!" ”
……
Outside the port of Hangzhou, a huge fleet is gathered here, in addition to two Kuizhou type with 3,000 materials, five Meishan type with 1,000 materials, and a large schooner of the Great Song Dynasty that has just been launched-Hangzhou type.
Armed with these ships, the number of thunderbolts produced on the Liangzhejiang Road was not enough, so Su You had to load all the thunderbolts that were originally eliminated for the army on the ships.
The accuracy is almost almost, there was no expectation that it would meet a navy of the same level, and it was enough to beat land targets, and it was enough to use those gun barrels that were eliminated by Zhang San.
This Hangzhou type is the flagship of Suyou.
Zhao Ji gave the establishment of the Jing Navy to Su You and Li Xian, and Su You armed it to form the first modern navy in the Great Song Dynasty.
The Hangzhou type was named Taishan by Zhao Ji, two ships of the Kuizhou type were named Zhiyuan and Ningyuan, and five Meishan ships were named Hangzhou, Huzhou, Mingzhou, Suzhou, Chengdu and Meizhou.
In addition to these, there are also maritime ships that have been suppressed by Su Oil for a month, and now there are no less than 100 ships in Hangzhou Bay.
Su You boarded the Mount Tai, and the hunting ground on the Mount Tai raised the red-background Song flag.
Su You ordered Chao Bu: "Sound the whistle, raise the anchor, raise the sails, and set sail!" ”
A large stream of white steam came out of the Taishan, and the unpleasant whistle spread throughout Hangzhou Bay, and all ships set sail.
The servants of the Taishan were busy, and the flag-bearer on the mast received the note from the rope and began to flag the Zhiyuan and Ningyuan on both sides.
Wang Dejia stood on the Ningyuan, holding a brass telescope and looking at the flag on the mast of the Taishan: "Shaobao can really be neat, but I just can't understand it...... Clerk! Palm secretary! ”
A young scholar came over, holding a notebook and a quill in his hand: "Shao Bao let Zhiyuan and Ning Yuan open the way ahead." ”
Wang Dejia picked his forehead: "Then hurry up and set sail." ”
The scholar handed over the book: "Everything, you have to sign and confirm the military order." ”
Wang Dejia took the book, on the top is a form, there is time, content, behind the clerk's signature, and then there is a review signature, and there is a space behind, that is where Wang Dejia signed.
Wang Dejia hurriedly took the book and signed it, and handed it to the scholar: "Secretary Zhang, you see that this ship is good, but the rules are big, and I have forgotten this stubble for a few months, I can't tell Shao Bao about this, otherwise I will be punished." ”
Shizi took the book, signed his name after Wang Dejia's name, and said with a smile: "The training period is strict and heavy, and the march and battle can be moderately flexible." ”
Wang Dejia was pardoned: "That Xiucai, you watch it on the deck, I still go into the shipbuilding to look at the charts, that thing is rare, and I am familiar with it!" ”
The fleet went out to sea slowly in Hangzhou Bay, and when it arrived at the sea off Zhoushan, the sails were full and the speed rose.
Nowadays, the unit of measurement used in the Great Song Dynasty charts is also nautical miles, which is completely determined by the observation attributes of astronomy and navigation.
For the convenience of astronomical observation and positioning, the length of one nautical mile is the length of one minute of the arc of the earth's meridian circle.
Now that astronomers in the Great Song Dynasty have discovered that the arc length varies slightly in different regions in actual measurements, Chen Zhaoming has made a bold guess that the earth may be an ellipse, not a perfect circle.
The discoverer's name is Lin Sui, and he won last year's Discoverer's Medal, and this baby is now in Shao Bowen's fleet, and has passed Malaya, and I don't know where it is.
When Su You's fleet went south to Mingzhou, the large and small ships of the South Seas from Mingzhou Port also sailed out and joined the fleet.
Hangzhou to Guangzhou is almost 1,000 nautical miles, today's Fu ship, an hour downwind can run five nautical miles, ten days later, the dense fleet arrived in Guangzhou Bay, a full 200 ships!
There were more than 200 large and small ships, the smallest of which were 600 materials, and this battle frightened Jiaozhi Xizuo who was lurking in the city of Guangzhou, and hurriedly went out of the city to report to Li Changjie.
Li Changjie was planning to capture Guizhou, and was surprised when he received the news halfway.
From Guangzhou to Lianzhou, the sea route is less than 1,000 miles, which means that it can be reached in five days!
It only takes six days to get to Qinzhou, and then it takes only eight days to go to Yongzhou by land!
Once the Song army turned to attack the waterway and landed in Lianzhou or Qinzhou, Li Changjie would not be able to return to Yongzhou before Su You, and the return route of the Jiaozhi army would be cut off by the Song army!
Moreover, I heard the information that the Song ships were all more than 600 materials, and the largest "such as a giant whale Guangyu, difficult to measure the weight", was not comparable to the small sea boat of the Jiaozhi people, and I don't know how many people and horses were transported.
Li Changjie was a veteran general, and he would never take danger until a critical moment, so he immediately ordered the Jiaozhi Zhou Division to retreat and return to Siming Prefecture on the border between the two countries to stand by, while he and Zong Jian hurriedly withdrew from Kunlun Pass to Yongzhou, and then continued to retreat to Taipingzhai on the border between the two countries to wait and see.
The shadow of the famous tree, Li Taibao has never been defeated, and Su Shaobao has also not been defeated, and he saw the weakness of the Jiaozhi Army at a glance, so Li Changjie had to guard against it.
After anxiously waiting for half a month, the news finally came, and after Su You arrived in Guangzhou, he immediately sent troops to block the water and land passages in Guangzhou, cutting off internal and external contact.
It turned out that Su Shaobao was bluffing, half of these ships were the ships that were about to return home, and after they loaded up drinking water and supplies in Guangzhou, they left Guangzhou Port in a dashing manner, and took advantage of the good wind to look at Ma Liujia!
The remaining small half of the blessed ship is a grain ship! Su Shaobao was appointed by the imperial court to organize the grain and grass of the Liangzhejiang Road, and used Guangzhou as a logistics base to build.
The military strength that really arrived in Guangzhou City was only 3,000 people from Di Yong and Wang Zhongzheng!
Cochin spy tricked!
