Chapter 480: Mulan Boat, the sail is like a cloud hanging from the sky

Zhao Huan thought for a long time and decided to send an envoy to Goryeo to ask the king of Goryeo how he was going to deal with Yan Zongwang's attack.

If he can't, then follow his own path.

In addition to supporting the Great Song Dynasty, I also want to support Goryeo?!

It's so hard!

With the strength of Wang Kai's hand, if he wants to wrestle with Yan Zongwang, he is still a little weaker.

And once the western mountains fall into the hands of the Jinren, then Goryeo will have no power to recover, and will only be pushed all the way.

He hoped that the king of Goryeo would not make a mistake and accept the goodwill from the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhao Huan didn't want much, and if the king of Goryeo agreed to his aid, he asked for permanent garrison rights.

This Goryeo state was capricious, and successively bet on the major powers, and if there were no garrisons, according to the nature of the other party, it would jump back and forth between Jin and Song.

This is an unacceptable situation for Zhao Huan.

Zhao Huan issued an edict so that Wei Chengen directly received the edict and went to Kaijing in Goryeo, which was the capital of Goryeo.

Wei Chengen's car had just run to the gate of Yanjing Mansion, and before he could enter the city, he received an edict and saw the envoy's guard of honor given by Zhao Huan at the post station outside the city.

"The official family is really an anxious person." Wei Chengen shook his head and accepted the guard of honor.

Being able to become the envoy of a country is also an opportunity for him, Huang Yanjie's outstanding performance has been reduced to the emperor's heart, and the next ancestor is almost a certainty.

If you don't behave well, I'm afraid that you won't have a place in the palace.

He hurriedly wrote a notebook in his hand, wrote Zhang Xiaochun's report on receiving the emperor's order into the notebook, and sent it to the palace, but before entering the city, he took the guard of honor and led a few personal officials to Jinkou.

The lack of ports in the north was a problem discovered when the Great Song Dynasty transported grain to Pingzhou.

That is, there were too few ports in the north of the Great Song Dynasty, so Jinkou, which was originally a fishing village and the mouth of the Yellow River, was designated as a new port for the city to provide grain and grass for Yanjing.

This is a construction site, but the sea to the sea, the northland to the sea is still the closest here.

The three-thousand-stone ship with four masts and twelve sails stopped at the harbor, waiting for Wei Chengen to board the ship.

This is a new-style seagoing ship built by the dockyard of the Daisong City Shipyard, and it was specially built to cope with the frequent maritime trade with the Japanese Kingdom.

The hull is about one and a half zhang high, not counting the mast and sails, while the width of the ship is about three zhang and the length of the hull is about ten zhang.

"Ships of the sea, large and small. The large one can carry five or six hundred people, and the small one can carry two or three hundred people. Wei Chengen looked at the ship in front of him and shook his head, the ship he was on was only a medium-sized merchant ship.

The largest sea ships in the Great Song Dynasty were named Kangji and Tongji.

That's the real big ship!

The two Shenzhou, long and tall, with all kinds of utensils and people, are three times that of passenger boats.

The two Shenzhou ships had a load capacity of about 6,000 materials (360 tons) and the Tongji ships had about 7,000 materials (420 tons) [Note 1].

These two large ships were built during the Daguan period and reached as far as the kingdom of Mulan Pi (i.e., the kingdom of Murabit in West Africa) by nautical charts.

Now these two big ships, which have been smashed and entered the furnace.

When Zhao Ji abolished the City Ship Division, it was not only the city ship that was abolished, but also the ships.

Maybe in Zhao Ji's heart, this can be a big ship with nearly a thousand people, drifting at sea for several years, and it is difficult to control.

In the dockyard of Tsuguchi, the keel of a huge ship is already being built.

That ship was written by the officials of the Great Song Dynasty for the Mulan boat.

The official family took the word Mulan of Mulan, a heroine in the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

Hua Mulan joined the army on behalf of her father, was full of loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness, and was posthumously named General Xiaolie in the Tang Dynasty.

And Zhao Huan's name is not untargeted.

Although Zhao Mingcheng is a waste, the gold and stone science he likes is definitely not a waste.

At least in the hearts of the Great Song people, Mulan is officially characterized as a native of Songzhou.

The Great Song Dynasty was called Song, and Zhao Kuangyin's envoy to the German Army was stationed in Songzhou.

In the Great Song Dynasty, there are many Mulan Ci and Mulan Temple, which are based on a wide range of people, so Zhao Huan gave the name of this giant ship under construction named Mulan Zhou.

In fact, in Zhao Huan's heart, he wanted to name this ship Liaoning.

Taking the homonym is the name of Liaoyang's stability, and it makes a color for the current battle of the Jin and Song Dynasty.

But if you think about it, you're still thinking about fart.

The large tonnage of the Liaoning ship, his own small sampan, should not be compared with the human killer.

Wei Chengen looked at the keel that had been built, and said in a proud voice: "Towering like a mountain, floating on the waves, the head of the brocade sail crane, yielding to the cockroach, the boat is like a giant room, and the sail is like a cloud hanging from the sky!" ”

"It is several zhang long, a boat can accommodate thousands of people, and there is an organic market on the boat."

"If you go to the country of Mulan Pi or don't meet the wind, you will reach it in a few years, and it will not be a huge boat, and you can't reach it. The so-called Mulan Boat in this world may not be so big as to say it! ”

Wei Chengen said this sentence arrogantly, and his mood was very comfortable.

However, he remembered that Zhao Ji, who had now turned into a coquettish and had no intention of getting in touch with any political affairs, smiled wryly.

[Check the sea boat, but the brig is caught, and the carrying is not a thing, and it flows to Lingnan. 】

Zhao Ji had no way to deal with the smuggling, so he simply completely overturned the entire maritime trade, and as soon as the edict of banning the sea came out, the entire Jiangnan and Lingnan regions were boiling.

However, private ships are still repeatedly banned, and several municipal shipping companies have been abolished, but not to stop maritime trade.

On the contrary, it brought a certain amount of pressure to the finances of the Great Song Dynasty.

However, fortunately, the current officials of the Great Song Dynasty can't help but reopen the city, and also encourage the private production of giant ships, and encourage the people of the Great Song Dynasty to manufacture maritime trade.

After all, the current line, Yanjing Mansion, needs sea ships to transport grain and grass.

The Mulan boat was placed in the dock of Jinkou in this way, and it was said that there were still six months to go to sea for sea trials, but looking at this progress, Wei Chengen estimated that when he returned from Goryeo, he would be able to catch it to sea for sea trials.

Huang Yanjie stepped on the Fu-class sea ship and headed for Goryeo Kaijing.

He looked at the port of Goryeo that was getting closer and closer, the crowds of people on the port, and the officials of the Goryeo Kingdom who greeted him with the edict of the king of Goryeo, and a smile appeared on his face.

He wrote a line on the notebook.

[On the day of the beauty's edict, the country towered and cheered and sighed. A small country, a small people. 】

Wei Chengen closed the zizai, held the festival in his hand, and boarded the port from Goryeo, and after a grand welcome ceremony, Wei Chengen finally met their Goryeo king in Kaegyung.

"Angels came from afar, and the king of Goryeo looked at each other, and we met today, fortunately!" Wang Kai was wearing a crown robe, until this time, did he still not give up the dream of a great country in his heart?

Wei Chengen looked at Wang Kai's nondescript crown and almost laughed out loud.

This crown is made of 12 multicolored reels, and each of them runs through 12 pieces of multicolored jade.

According to the order of Zhu, Bai, Cang, Huang and Xuan, each piece of jade is one inch apart, and each piece is twelve inches long.

Wang Kai's crown is a colorful jade, and the top pigeon is big.

However, the thread that wore the crown was made of white silk thread, not multicolored reel.

If this is in the Great Song Dynasty, the bureau of the Imperial Clothing Bureau will be exiled for 3,000 miles and go to Lingnan to build a new Great Song Dynasty.

The group of trolls in the Ministry of Rites will spray everything from the emperor to the Imperial Clothing Bureau to the courtiers, and then take out the edict of Song Taizu, move out of the ancestral training and tell everyone that the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty does not bring a crown!

[Sacrifice heaven and earth, temples, shrines and other rituals, wear the crown of heaven, and the silk robe. 】

Studying the culture of the Central Plains Dynasty ended up just learning the same thing, and did not learn to keep pace with the times.

The complexity of the sacrifice can easily lead to extravagance and waste, causing the state funds to be wasted in vain and spent where they should not be spent.

The Great Song Dynasty was rich, but the emperor was not extravagant.

Of course, except for Zhao Ji, he is very extravagant, and the jade seal has ten pieces.

Zhao Ji felt that this ancestral training was very good, so he did it.

"The Great Song Emperor's Book of the Kingdom of Goryeo." Wei Chengen took out the edict and handed it to the king of Goryeo.

Wang Kai opened the crown with one hand, and looked at the note with the other hand for a long time, but it was uncomfortable before he kicked the eunuch next to him.

Only then did the eunuch hold the crown, and Wang Kai could read the letter.

When you open it, you have to hold it with both hands to make it easier to see.

Wang Kai opened the crown with one hand, and he couldn't take a good look at the zazi in his hand.

Wei Chengen remembered a saying, the more you have nothing, the more you want to show off in front of people.

Obviously, the same was true of the King of Goryeo.

Wang Kai finally sighed and said: "The angels are hard, but Da Song is a step late." The Jin people have already taken the entire Yalu River. The border cities are falling one after another, and the whole place is already full of wolf smoke. ”

"Lone is planning to sacrifice to the temple and the shrine of heaven and earth, to ask for sin before the ancestors and ancestors, and to beg for peace with the golden people in order to be at peace for a while."

Wei Chengen understood why the king of Goryeo was dressed so formally, and originally planned to sacrifice heaven and earth and negotiate peace with the Jin people.

I also misunderstood this king of Goryeo.

"I wonder if the king of Goryeo can last for three months? In the notes of the official family, there is a strategy to deal with the Jinren. Huang Yanjie said.

Zhao Huan naturally considered how to hold the Goryeo Kingdom in case the king of Goryeo had collapsed and collapsed by the time his envoy did not arrive.

"Oh?" Wang Kai opened the notebook, and the surprise in his eyes became more and more abundant.

He took off the crown on his head, ran directly to Huang Yanjie, laughed and said, "Angels work hard, I'm saved in Goryeo!" ”

"Don't move a stool yet! Show Angel Wei! Wang Kai was overjoyed, kicked the eunuch next to him and said with a laugh.
