Chapter 982: It's not Liu Bang
The yellow waters of spring were not calm, and strong northeasterly winds howled southward, enveloping the entire fleet in rough and turbulent sea conditions.
In order to ensure the smooth flow of goods in the north and south, the Sui Dynasty chose to dig the Grand Canal instead of transporting grain and taxes by sea.
Historically, with the exception of the Song and Song dynasties, especially the Southern Song Dynasty, when the elite northern regions were forced to vigorously develop overseas trade due to the military and economic pressure of the Jin State, most of the monarchs of the past dynasties regarded the endless sea as a daunting path.
In modern society, as long as you have a little common sense, you must know that the sea giant ship transportation trade is the lowest cost, and it is the largest single transportation model. For example, the "Sea Giant" supertanker with a total deadweight of 820,000 tons.
At sea, a sharp-bottomed boat with a deeper draft is much more resistant to waves than an ordinary flat-bottomed river boat.
Li Zhongyi doesn't know how to build ships, but his knowledge spanning thousands of years has allowed him to lead the rapid development of the shipbuilding industry.
The concept of "ballast stone" was used by state media to describe the importance of economic and trade relations between China and the United States when Li Zhongyi first came into contact.
The invention of the watertight cabin has greatly enhanced the sinking resistance of large ships, but it has not solved the root cause of the largest and most lethal influencing factor of ancient maritime transportation: poor wave resistance!
When Li Zhongyi participated in the discussion of the shipwrights, he inadvertently thought of the concept of "ballast stone" and put it forward for everyone's reference.
Therefore, after Li Zhongyi's handsome ship was refitted, the entire bilge was covered with ballast boulders fixed in the watertight compartment, and the stability of wave resistance was greatly strengthened.
In the era of wind-driven sailboats, the coordination between the sailman and the helmsman was particularly important when the wind at sea came.
The ship is at sea, it is impossible not to encounter wind and waves, often at this time, Li Zhongyi simply can't handle official business, simply got into the helm room, hugged the pillar with both arms, and carefully observed the cooperation between the helmsman and the sailman.
After a long time, Li Zhongyi found a very bad situation: many times, the helmsman has adjusted the direction of the rudder, trying to avoid facing the direction of the wind with the side side, often at this time, the sailman can not cooperate with the sail in time, which is the most important factor causing the wreck.
This is because if the helmsman's message is to be passed on to the sailman, the sailor can only run over and convey the message verbally.
Li Jiajun's sailors have to sink several large ships on the Yellow Water Ocean every year, and the loss of the boatmen, especially the skilled helmsmen, is not small.
Based on this, Li Zhongyi finally came up with a clever plan after repeated pondering. This is due to the fact that the scene in the pirate movie where the captain orders to shout gives Li Zhongyi great inspiration.
After summarizing, Li Zhongyi issued a hard and fast rule to install bamboo microphones between helmsmen, sailmen and captains.
However, when the waves are raging, even if you are close to your ears, you may not be able to hear the other person clearly.
In order to save his life, Li Zhongyi thought of the fact that on the warships during World War II, when the weather conditions were very bad, or when radio silence was needed, the communication between ships often needed to be communicated through "light language".
So, Li Zhongyi racked his brains and figured out a set of methods to use different colors of lanterns and the number of flashes to deliver accurate messages.
Objectively speaking, Li Zhongyi does not know how to sail, let alone shipbuilding. However, his extraordinary insight helped the sailor a lot.
Today, newly built warships, all with multi-masted sails and sidesails, sail at significantly faster speeds. Not only that, but in the cabin, there is a special sound transmission bamboo tube.
With these tubes, the bond between the captain, the helmsman and the mainsailer has been strengthened like never before.
When the storm is coming, the captain and the sailor can already rely on the signal of the lantern to make corresponding adjustments as soon as possible.
In fact, these changes are only minor repairs, and there are no changes in the nature of sailboats that are driven by the wind.
Li Zhongyi was willing to spend a lot of effort to improve the mast and sails, and strengthen the connection of signal lights, in the final analysis, it was the last time he entered Yuguan in the north, he sank several ships at sea.
In that great accident, aside from the loss of supplies, food, and horses, more than 200 veterans, sailors, helmsmen, and sailors alone were drowned.
No matter how big Li Zhongyi's family business is, he can't withstand this kind of sea consumption for many years, so the problem of the sea-resistance of large ships sailing must be solved.
In the first year of the Later Ming Dynasty, in order to deal with the increasingly huge military threat of the Later Jin, the Ming court divided the jurisdiction of the governor of Shandong into two and specially set up the governor of Denglai.
Yuan Chonghuan, who was highly praised by Zha Liangyong (Jin Yong), and Mao Wenlong, the chief soldier of Dongjiang Town, who he killed, was originally under the jurisdiction of the governor of Denglai.
After the big ship full of grain from Dengzhou sailed to Dongjiang Town, 40 percent of the 10 percent grain and grass baggage became the so-called "drifting" in the mouth of civil officials.
Among them, in addition to the ugly behavior of corrupt officials who wantonly embezzled food and materials, there were indeed various shipwrecks that were blown over due to wind and waves. It's just that the loss is not as much as 40%.
Not to mention the loss of forty percent, even if it is a loss of one percent, it is a huge injury that Li Zhongyi cannot tolerate.
Li Zhongyi has the four guards of Yulin at hand, and its elite soldiers are about 70,000 people, counting the auxiliary soldiers who assist in burying pots and cooking and camping, there are enough 100,000 people.
The fleet of sailors under the jurisdiction of Zhou Daozhong currently has the largest single transportation capacity, which is only 70,000 people. If, counting the amount of war horses, the number of troops transported at a time will only be less, and it is impossible to be more.
Due to the tight time of the struggle for hegemony in the Central Plains, there was no way for the large ships built in the Goryeo Kingdom to spend three years to thoroughly dry the timber and then plank the planks to build the ship.
Li Zhongyi came up with a quick solution, that is, to build a work shed, build a large number of ground kangs, pile the wood in the work shed, and use the heat of charcoal burning to dry the wood as soon as possible.
Drying wood, after all, is not as strong as natural drying, which also brings inevitable hidden dangers. The lifespan of a large ship built by the quick method, even if it is well maintained, is only five years at most.
In fact, this is also an emergency choice with no choice!
Although Li Zhongyi occupied the Goryeo Kingdom and used various resources of Goryeo to feed the entire Li family army, the total population of the Goryeo Kingdom was only more than 3 million people.
If the Khitans were attacked by land, only 30,000 auxiliaries would not be able to cope with the logistical supplies of the army along the way, and more people would have to be recruited.
The strong men of Goryeo were drawn out by 50,000 more, and there were many fewer men who grew grain. With the reduction of grain production, it will be difficult for Li Jiajun to eat enough, thus forming a vicious circle of eternal food shortage.
The unprecedented pressure on logistics alone forced Li Zhongyi to take the road of sea transportation.
The cost of sea freight is many times smaller than that of land transportation. The fly in the ointment is that the real "drifting" losses must be controlled.
Li Zhongyi had lunch in Han Xianglan's cabin, and Han Xianglan happily served the soup and rice, and was so busy that she was not too troublesome.
After eating, Li Zhongyi drank a few sips of tea, sat for a while, and then hugged his daughter Xiangniu and stood by the window to play.
Han Xianglan couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that the father and daughter were having a good time, in this game, she didn't dare to say that she had won Ye Xiaolan's prodigal hoof, at least she didn't lose.
The pillow wind that drips through the stones, and the wind in the circle that turns into elbows and armpits, how powerful are these two winds, how can Han Xianglan, who has read history books, not be afraid?
In the final analysis, even if Han Xianglan gives birth to a son, whether she can take over the foundation of the old Li family in the future depends on Li Zhongyi's thoughts.
As the saying goes, husband is husband and husband, Li Zhongyi is both husband and gentleman. If he chooses Ye Xiaolan's son to inherit the family business, in the future, will Han Xianglan's mother and son still have a way to live?
After walking outside the cabin for a quarter of an hour, Li Zhongyi's daughter with his left hand and Han Xianglan with his right hand took a beautiful nap.
When Han Xianglan was waiting for the man to change his clothes, she suddenly whispered: "Master, Zuo Jiangming has always been safe and reliable, and the family will be fine." ”
Li Zhongyi nodded, grabbed Han Xianglan's shoulder, shook it gently, and said, "I can trust Zuo Ziguang." ”
Han Xianglan saw that the man not only did not get angry, but became more affectionate to her, and her originally hanging heart was immediately put back in her stomach.
Li Zhongyi has always behaved very calmly, but Han Xianglan, who is the person next to the pillow, knows in his heart that the man's heart is actually very unpeaceful.
"Master, you often say that you want to die for thousands of years, and the slave family thinks so." Han Xianglan's words made Li Zhongyi laugh, and he couldn't help hugging the woman and kissing him half to death.
Such an informed and interesting interpretation of the flower was not like this at the beginning, I think that at the beginning, Li Zhongyi took a lot of painstaking work, and after many years of sandwiching, this was exchanged for today's pleasure.
"Actually, it's useless to think about these now, open the bow and turn back, everything can only count on Zuo Ziguang's ability and the luck of the whole family." Li Zhongyi stroked the woman's pink cheeks and sighed with emotion, "The so-called life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, and some things must be seen." ”
Han Xianglan understands the difficulty of men's choices very well, and Meng Yao came to Goryeo to preach the edict, and the suspicion of the court revealed has reached an irreparable state.
It is very clear in the history books that the ministers of power will either usurp the throne and stand on their own, or die and the clan will be wiped out, and there is absolutely no third way to go.
People on top of the temple are like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat!
Today's Li Zhongyi is no longer the son of the imperial doctor of the past, even if he plans to retreat, the tens of thousands of elite iron troops under his command will never agree.
So many loyal and brave soldiers, so many families that have become more and more nourishing over the years, everyone follows Li Zhongyi to work hard, is it not for glory and wealth, but for being settled by the imperial court?
Regardless of whether Li Zhongyi wants to be Cao Mengde or Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of Sui, the Li family in Kaifeng must leave the control of the imperial court as soon as possible.
Liu Bang, the pavilion chief, when he was chased and killed by Xiang Yu, actually pushed his children off the ox cart three times, which is simply the highest level of refreshing the non-toxic husband!
Tiger poison does not eat children!
Li Zhongyi is not Liu Bang! ()
