Chapter 514: Maritime Transport Lines
Mingtang, Zai Fu is on top, and the six books are all in one place.
"Han Shizhong of Danzhou has just sent someone to say that the Jurchens outside the Great Wall have begun to premeditately transport and hoard grain and grass, it seems that they have suffered enough last time, and they know that once the strong wall is cleared, they will not even be able to find a grain of rice to eat in Youyan." Yang Lin sighed and continued to scold: "I don't understand, the small court of Khitan Yunzhou, such a fragrant dumpling is placed there, the Jurchen Tartars just don't fight, crying and shouting every day that they want to come to Youyan and fight with us, why is this so?" ”
Zhang Shangying said with a smile: "But the rise of foreign races in the north of the realm, all I think about in my heart is to go south to plunder, which has been made very clear in countless green history volumes. In the dog summer, even the animals know to go to the shade of the trees to cool off, count the nine in the middle of winter, and the insects and ants also know to go underground to escape the cold. In that barren land in the north, bitter cold all year round, how could the Jurchens not think of going south. ”
The first battle of Song and Jin was inevitable, and almost all of those present knew this.
Wanyan Aguda started the army in advance, resulting in his age not being too old, and he still has the ambition and strength of the Southern Expedition. In addition, Wanyan Wu begged to buy and die in Youyan, no matter what aspect he said, it was impossible for him to endure it.
Yang Lin stood up and walked to the map on the wall, and the eyes of all the officials followed, staring at the map.
"This is the land of Youyan, perennial war and disaster connection, now a little calm, the field is deserted and has not been cultivated, we must be ready for war, we must prepare materials in advance. Once the war starts, it will be difficult for the army of hundreds of thousands to eat, drink, armor and blades, rely on temporary transportation. ”
In the past, the Great Song Dynasty did not have this trouble, because they often forgot to supply the front line when they started a war, and the officials in the court were not in a hurry, anyway, in their opinion, it was better for the warriors to lose the war than to win, and it was better to continue to suppress the warriors if they lost, so as to achieve a good situation of emphasizing literature and suppressing military force in this dynasty.
During the period of Shenzong, the Song army attacked under the capital of Western Xia, and tens of thousands of people starved to death because of lack of food, and were beaten back.
In the Great Song Dynasty, which is known as the wealthy, soldiers often fight hungry, especially the Western Army, which is not loved by grandma and uncle, is the worst of the miserable.
If it weren't for the clear record in the history books, who would have imagined that the only capable field army of a wealthy dynasty would have not received a single grain for three years when it confronted a strong enemy.
Now that Yang Lin is in power, he will naturally not let such a thing continue to happen, he pointed to Tianjin Port and said: "This is our newly built city, named Tianjin Wei, which is the best wharf port." Now the canal has just started and cannot be put into use, and the roads in Hebei are blocked and difficult to travel, so it can only be transported by sea. ”
Everyone in the Ming Hall whispered timidly, it is inevitable that a sailor will be escorted by sea, so that in the vast sea, it is very likely that there will be a powerful sailor of the Great Song Dynasty.
Can these people be controlled...
Yang Lin has been mixing in the court for a long time, and he can see at a glance what these people think, and he must be worried that the martial artists will be difficult to control.
I have to say that in the five dynasties, the martial artists suppressed too fiercely and too rampantly, resulting in the wariness of these scholars now more than the guard against foreign races. For fear that if one is not careful, it may be a big mess in the world, but in fact, they are completely overwhelmed.
Now that the generals want to divide the territory, they don't have their own base, and only a group of soldiers may not necessarily listen to them. You can't pay these soldiers, who will work for you and rebel against you.
The Great Song Dynasty's defense of the generals can be described as excessive, which directly led to being beaten everywhere.
Zhang Shangying suddenly remembered that a few days ago, Yang Lin was looking for himself to discuss the formation of the South China Sea Naval Division.
Now under the pretext of transporting grain by sea from Jiangnan to Tianjin Wei, it seems that this sailor is bound to be formed, and a touch of melancholy appeared on Zhang Shangying's forehead. "Wen Yuan, it is inevitable that you will need a sailor to escort you by sea to transport grain, do you think Chenghai sailor can do it?"
Yang Lin secretly said in his heart, you can be regarded as asking, I have been waiting for this sentence for a long time. He twisted his wrist lightly and said, "It's definitely not enough, the Chenghai Master must guard against the Jurchens going south, you must know that the Jurchen Tartars have merged hundreds of thousands of people in the Bohai Sea, and the Bohai people have always been good at shipbuilding." Chenghai is responsible for the East China Sea. As for the other routes, I am going to ask the officials to set up a new sailor. ”
The ministers are watching their noses and noses, and now you have a big fist, and you have the final say. Only Wang Chaoli agreed, got up and said: "If you form a sailor, you can recruit soldiers and horses from Lingnan, where the land is barren and many coastal residents are good at fishing and hunting. These people are familiar with the nature of water and can train to do more with less. ”
Yang Lin nodded, in the coastal areas of Fujian, the land is really barren and pitiful. In these places, even if the wind and rain are good, there will not be many crops, let alone a disaster and a disaster. What is good is that in these places near the sea, there will be accidents every three or five times, either a tsunami, or the earth dragon will turn over, and this situation has been increasing in the Great Song Dynasty.
The Great Song Dynasty caught up with a bad time, and the Yellow River also began to deteriorate at this time, and various geological disasters occurred frequently. Speaking of bad luck, it is second only to Daming who caught up with the Xiaoice River.
Since farming could not feed the whole family, the people along the coast had to try their best to find another way out.
Yang Lin clapped his hand and said: "It's decided, let's go to the book together and invite the official." ”
Everyone slandered, why is it decided, isn't it discussing that you are going to make a decision.
After all, slander is slander, but no one dares to jump out against it.
The sea sailor is too difficult to control, even more difficult to manage than the warriors on land, Zhang Shangying still wanted to make a final effort, and said: "Wen Yuan, is it not to wait for the matter of Jiaozhi to be completed, and then form a sailor." Now the situation in the north is on the verge of breaking out, and there are still more than 100,000 soldiers and horses fighting in Jiaozhi, once Song and Jin start fighting, it will be a war between the north and the south, and the supply will only be dwarfed by that time. ”
"What's so difficult about fighting on both sides, when I was in charge of the battle in Youyan, the northwest was black... Song Jiang did not lead nearly 100,000 troops in the northwest to defeat the Qarakhanid Dynasty. Yang Lin pointed to the map and said, "This small land must not become a constraint on our decision-making. ”
Jiaozhi actually didn't involve many soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty, it was completely just that they paid to fund their rebellious army and began to fight each other.
Fang Qifo is like a person in a shadow puppet play, commanding countless people from the north to fight southward like crazy.
The northern land has always been discriminated against by the Li Dynasty, coupled with the lawlessness of the Cham pirates here, and the people who pay taxes every year do not get any protection from the Li Dynasty, so they have long been holding back their strength to rebel.
Zhang Shangying saw that he couldn't persuade him, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and he had a sense of retreat.
I'm old... Zhang Shangying said secretly in his heart.
