After Jiang De opened the system, there has been no qualitative breakthrough in the system's points these days, and it is still dangling at 17.8 million, Jiang De directly searched for ship drawings, and soon a number of ancient ship building drawings appeared in front of him, and each of them was expensive, so that Jiang De deeply realized what knowledge is the primary productive force.

Northern... That's this sand boat, the technology of the Ming Dynasty, it costs 100,000 points, it's really expensive!

After Jiang De gritted his teeth and exchanged it, he walked out with a leather suitcase and said to the people who were chatting again, "Come, look at this drawing, this is also given to my family by the Fujian man." ”

Saying that, Jiang De opened the box and took out the drawings, Wu Di glanced at the drawings strangely, the paper of these drawings is good rice paper, but from the color, it feels brand new...

Jiang De opened it, Wu Bing and the others came up again, looked at it and said, "Xiao Langjun, this boat is excellent, wide, large, flat, and shallow, it will definitely be dominant in the North Sea, and I think this ship can also fight in the river, of course, in the river, the ship is the first." ”

Jiang De asked, "Water warfare is based on long-range attacks, if trebuchets are installed, how many such ships can be installed?" ”

Wu Bing thought for a while and said, "It depends on the size of the trebuchet, the practice of installing trebuchets on warships has existed since the Han Dynasty, and there is no difficulty. The sand boat is larger, I'm afraid it can fit eight.

But Xiao Langjun, the sea is extremely stormy, if you want to install a trebuchet, I am afraid it will affect the safety of the ship. ”

Jiang De originally wanted to use trebuchets first, and then use artillery later, after all, the construction of artillery not only takes time, but the price is also extremely high, but when he heard Wu Bing say this, he also figured it out, trebuchets are different from cannons, cannons can be placed on the deck on weekdays, while trebuchets can only be exposed, making the center of gravity rise, in contrast, it will indeed make the stability of the ship decrease.

Xu Guanzhong opened his mouth and said, "My lord, if it is a water battle, the long-range attack is the first, although the trebuchet is powerful, but its size is too large, if it is small, it is often not powerful, why not try the bed crossbow?" ”

Jiang De thought for a moment and said, "Do you know the range of the strongest bed crossbow?" ”

Niu Gao said, "I asked in the Western Army, there are several kinds of bed crossbows, the strongest is the eight ox crossbows, his arrows are all wooden rods and iron feathers, like javelins, shot from the city wall, up to a thousand steps, such as flat ground, there are also seven or eight hundred steps." But even if it is the Western Army, there are not many such bed crossbows..."

Jiang De couldn't help but stick out his tongue when he heard this, a thousand steps, even the killing distance of the rifle in later generations is not so far, but he also knows that this so-called eight-bull crossbow is claimed to take seventy or eighty people to pull it, and the production process is also extremely complex and exquisite, which is not at all known to outsiders, and there are many people in later generations who want to try to copy the eight-bull crossbow, but the range is only two hundred meters, and some people say that the ancient bed crossbow should really only have a range of two hundred meters, the person who said these words, Xiao Tzulin, the famous commander of the Liao State, wants to talk to you late at night....

Although Jiang De can't get something like the Eight Bull Crossbow, and he doesn't know how to do it, as for the process, although Jiang De can exchange it, Jiang De has already secretly seen it, and he wants a terrifying 10 million points, which is already the most expensive thing that Jiang De can see in Jiang De's temporary system.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand, after all, this is the ultimate weapon of the ancient bow and crossbow, even the Liao State at this time spent a hundred years and did not get the production process of the eight-bull crossbow, in fact, the eight-bull crossbow did not say that the Liao State did not get it, and the Jin Kingdom and Mongolia did not get it, after the Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Song Dynasty, craftsmen were arrested everywhere and wanted to restore the eight-bull crossbow, but they could not succeed, but at this time there was already artillery, and slowly, the eight-bull crossbow of the Tang and Song dynasties was completely lost.

Xu Guanzhong said to Jiang De, "My lord, the Eight Bull Crossbow is not easy to obtain, we can replace it with an ordinary bed crossbow first, and then slowly take care of it in the future." ”

Jiang De nodded and said, "Okay, let's use the bed crossbow first, I thought of a way to increase the power of the bed crossbow in the water war, and then I will talk about it when I have the opportunity in the future, let's build a ship with the idea of installing a bed crossbow, by the way, install some protection around those bed crossbows, don't expose them directly." ”

Wu Di listened to the excitement of a few people, and said to Jiang De, "Xiao Langjun, if you really have the heart to compete for power, although I don't understand the world's major events, but I also guess that Xiao Langjun needs to master a section of the Yellow River first, the Great Song Dynasty Navy on the Yellow River has quite good combat power, Xiao Langjun can have a plan?" ”

Jiang De asked curiously, "Could it be that Wu Xiaoniang knows its fiction and reality?" ”

Wu Di nodded and said, "I once heard my father say that I have a naval army, more in the south and less in the north, but there is a Liao country in the north, and there is no great enemy in the south, so although the northern naval army is less than the south, the elite degree is better than the southern army, Dengzhou on Jingdong Road, Luzhou and Baode Army on Hedong Road, Qinzhou and Shaanzhou on Shaanxi Road are stationed in the navy, especially the Dengzhou naval army, which is facing each other with the Liao country, the most important, the number is the extreme side, Changtun heavy troops, teaching and practicing water warfare, Dan Dusk Chuanfeng, in order to pass the police emergency, there are two commanders of the Chenghai Sea Army crossbowmen and two commands of the Pinghai Sea Army, It is the first water army in our country. ”

Jiang De looked at Xu Guanzhong, Xu Guanzhong also nodded and said, "I divide the forbidden army and the box army, and the southern navy is mostly the box army, but what Wu Xiaoniang said just now are all forbidden troops, and the box army is mostly used to inspect places, so the combat power is not strong, and the forbidden army is a war soldier, and the combat power is strong.

Most of their warships are mainly vehicles and ships, dozens of feet long, and they are good at water warfare, but not at naval warfare. ”

Wu Di continued, "In addition to vehicles and boats, there are also multi-oared boats, hook and groove boats, loach boats, etc., and they also have sea vessels that are specially used for naval warfare, which is not simple.

Xiao Langjun wants to use sea ships to fight the world, I'm afraid the first checkpoint will be in Dengzhou. ”

Jiang De hummed and said, "In this way, if the Dengzhou Navy is not removed, I am afraid that we will not be able to do it, okay, I have written it down."

Wu Xiaoniang, I'll give you a year, you first help me try to build these kinds of sea warships, if I want more than 2,000 materials, money is not a problem, do you understand? When you're done, let me know, and I'll check it out before I talk about anything else. ”

Wu Di nodded and said, "It must be as Xiao Langjun wishes." ”

Jiang De looked at Wu Bing and the others and said, "I also need to build ships in the north, so the two of you will discuss it yourself, who will go to the north with me?" ”

Wu Lian said, "It's better for me to go, Bing Ye is old, so it's better not to run around." ”

Wu Bing snorted, "What? Do you think I'm too old to be useful? I count you highly, when I made a boat for the Wu family, you didn't know where it was! ”

Wu Lian smiled bitterly, Jiang De waved his hand and said, "Then Wu Lian goes, you want to experiment with new ships here, Master Wu Bing is older and more experienced, you are here, I am more assured." ”

Hearing Jiang De say this, Wu Bing gave up.

After the arrangements were made, Jiang De waited until the oil mills and Qionglou returned the money to the creditors, and took Xu Guanzhong and others to return north on a sea boat, this way, they saw the ships coming and going, and also encountered the waves, so that Jiang De and others had a more real understanding of the ocean, and when they arrived in Dengzhou, Jiang De deliberately observed the Dengzhou Navy at close range in the name of the labor army, and found that although the equipment of the Dengzhou Navy was indeed good, the emperor of Liao at this time was also a fun-loving master, and he had no intention of going to war with the Song State, so that the Dengzhou Navy has no sense of preparation, quite a bit of external strength and dry taste.

——

"Is it Liao on the other side?" Jiang De, who was on the boat, looked into the distance and said.

Xu Guanzhong, whose face was still a little pale, nodded and said, "Yes, on the other side is the Liao State, my century-old enemy in the Central Plains." ”

Jiang De shook his head and said, "I see that the Liao country is nearing the number of qi, and I am afraid that it will be destroyed in more than ten years." ”

Xu Guanzhong said with a smile: "I hope it is as the lord said." ”

Jiang De pointed to the distance and said, "Mr. Xu, do you remember what I said about Jurchen?" From here, if you go north, you should be able to reach the place where they live. If I'm not mistaken, there is a group of barbarians rising there, and it will soon endanger the rule of the Liao State. ”

Xu Guanzhong looked at the sea in the distance and said, "In this case, isn't it the opportunity I am waiting for?" ”

Jiang De hummed and said, "Most of the Jurchen warriors came out of the deep mountains and old forests, fighting for the flesh, it is difficult for us Song people to be opponents, the only thing that can compete is our equipment and our discipline!" ”

Xu Guanzhong knew in his heart, thought about it, and said to Jiang De, "Lord, if there is really a civil strife in Liao, can we take the chestnut from the fire, if we want to conquer the world, the horse army is the first among the armies, but our country has few horses, although a small amount of smuggling, but it is difficult to form an army, it is better for us to find a way to unite with the Jurchens, take their horses, and send them food."

First, we can listen to its reality in advance. Second, it can also increase the combat strength of our army. ”

Jiang De nodded and said, "I do have such thoughts, but it's a pity that there are no suitable people, the Jurchens are barbarians and don't pay attention to etiquette, and I'm afraid that ordinary businessmen in my country will only suffer if they go." ”

Xu Guanzhong made a note in his heart and prepared to talk about it later.

"What? Wu's shipyard has been bought? Fang La glared at the kneeling spies in front of him.

"Hui Yu Sect Master, it has indeed been bought, it is said that a wealthy merchant from the Daimyo's Mansion passed by Mingzhou and bought it easily." The spy looked down and said.

"Handy... Is it really that easy? Fang La squinted his eyes and said.

A white-haired old man sitting next to Fang La stood up and said, "Sect Master, I think this matter should be just a coincidence, my Mingjiao has just started recruiting troops, and not many people in the sect know the news that we are preparing to build a naval army, let alone outsiders. ”

Fang La nodded, stroked his beard and said, "I Mingjiao is prosperous in the south, and in the future, the incident will inevitably be based on the navy, although you can gather civilian ships for your own use, but in front of the Song army and sailors, I am afraid it will be difficult to fight, so I am ready to secretly master some shipyards to build warships, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing just at the beginning, it is really unfavorable."

That's it! In this case, let's change it, anyway, those corrupt officials are easy to buy! ”

The old man nodded and said, "Sect Master, wise! ”

Fang La said to the following: "But the person who spoils me and other things must not be let go, can you know who it is?" ”

The spy raised his head and said, "It is rumored that it is the lord of Qionglou, Neihuang Jiangde!" ”

"Nei Huang Jiang De?" Fang La read the name for a while, and asked a few people next to him, "Have you heard of this name, why do I feel so familiar?" ”

A Taoist priest dressed up came out and said, "I have heard of this person, he is the owner behind the IKEA oil mill and Qionglou, refining glass on the bank of Jishui, it is rumored that he is only a few years old, and his family has a wealth of millions, and his senior brother Lu Junyi is called the richest man in the Daimyo Mansion." ”

Fang La slapped his head and said, "I remember, this person is so wealthy, doesn't there be any idea for officials to beat him?" ”

The Taoist priest replied, "This son is also smart, he found an opportunity to worship Liang Shijie, who stayed in the Daimyo Mansion, as his uncle, and Cai Jing's daughter as his aunt, so that he is Cai Jing's grandson, who else will touch him?" ”

Fang La snorted, "It turned out to be Cai Jing's subordinate dog, I should not provoke the attention of the imperial court at this time, so let's stop this matter." ”

"Is Brother Song Gongming really leaving?" Chao Gai sighed to Wu Yong, "In the past, we were in trouble, and Brother Song Gongming also came to inform me and waited, Duan's righteousness, now I have a good life, I still want to persuade him to go up the mountain, why do you want to leave suddenly?" ”

Wu shook the feather fan lightly and said, "Brother Chao Gai, I think Brother Song Gongming probably doesn't look down on us Liangshan people, probably because he thinks that we are just thieves, and sooner or later we will be annihilated. ”

Chao Gai sighed and said, "I don't think so, in the past, I was just a fugitive, and Brother Song Gongming didn't dislike me, I think I still have to go to Songjiazhuang, I'll talk about it." ”

Wu Yong thought for a while and said, "Okay, Yuncheng County is under our control, but for the sake of safety, please also ask Brother Chao Gai to dress up in disguise and bring Liu Tang and Mr. Gongsun, otherwise in case, we will not be able to explain to the owner of the village." ”

Chao Gai snorted and said, "Speaking of which, the owner of the village has been gone for more than half a year, and I don't know if he is healthy." ”

Wu Yong also sighed, "Yes, now I have a few more leaders in the cottage, but I haven't seen the owner of the village, and I heard that the owner of the village has arrived in Jiangnan, and I don't know how." ”

The two talked for a while, and Chao Gai took Liu Tang, Gongsun Sheng, and three or four guards, took a knife and some gifts, and rode to Songjia Village.

- Songjia Village

As mentioned above, the small officials of the Song Dynasty were not officials, but were selected from various households, and the position of the charge like Song Jiang was generally done by wealthy households, and Song Jiang could use gold and silver to make friends with the world's heroes, and his solid family background was his greatest confidence.

There is a huge village courtyard in Songjia Village, covering an area of more than 20 acres, which is the home of Song Jiang, Song Jiang has five brothers, called Song Hai, Song He, Song Jiang, Song Qing, Song Huai. And Song Jiang is the third, three of the five brothers have not grown up, and only Song Jiang and his younger brother Song Qing are adults.

"I said Saburo, this Oshiji is doing a good job, why do you want to leave? It's still so far away to Qingzhou. Song Taigong sat on crutches and asked Song Jiang.
