Zhang Shijie also reported what he said on the basis of continuing the rule of the Southern Song Dynasty, he thought that the emperor is still young now, but there will always be a day when he will grow up.

He was favored by the emperor and was in a high position, so he had to assist the emperor to adulthood, and completely build the Zhao and Song dynasties firmly!

Although Zhao Yuan made everyone quite helpless, the little emperor grew up, and he would not still be a fool!

Therefore, as long as it lasts longer, the more hope there is for the Southern Song Dynasty!

"Okay, Lord Zhang's proposal is very much the heart of the mourning family, so we can't slack off, ask Jia Yidao to lead the troops north, don't talk about whether to fight or not, how can it also indicate the attitude of our Great Song Dynasty!" The Empress Dowager said in high spirits.

At this time, the little emperor was restless on the dragon chair, and called out with a milky voice, "Imperial Mother, I want to eat milk~"

There were a few light coughs from the ministers of civil and military affairs from the audience, but they just didn't hear them.

The emperor is four years old and still breastfeeding, which shows that the queen mother is too spoiled by him.

The Song Dynasty was planning and arranging here, and Zhao Rui was not idle, so he first confided the news.

This can make the Yuan Dynasty anxious!

Borkin was furious above the court, saying that he Zhao Rui really didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick, and he wanted to capture all the Linjiang cities of the Yuan Dynasty in a month, what is the difference between this and a fool's dream!

The officials also echoed the voice, but only Liu Zheng put forward a different opinion after a little contemplation.

"Your Majesty, according to the minister's opinion, Zhao Rui is very likely to attack from the water, think about it, only if the boat goes down the river, will there be such a fast speed!"

Borkin also felt that it made sense when he heard this, and immediately ordered Liu Zheng to lead the naval army, and now he had to prepare troops to contend with Zhao Rui!

Liu Zheng also regretted it at this time, mainly because he was unwilling to be an enemy of Zhao Rui, the last time he was in Fancheng, he still had some psychological shadows after beating Liu Zheng.

felt that the firearms of Zhao Rui's army were too powerful.

But now it is also a critical juncture, and it is Borgin himself who ordered the general, even if Liu Zheng doesn't want to go, he has to go, who made him the leader of the navy, who else can Borkin use now if he doesn't have to use himself?

At the same time, Borkin also gave an order to gather a large number of troops in the city of Linjiang, so that Zhao Rui's army would not return!

At this time, all the mortars gathered here to Zhao Rui!

Zhao Rui arranged for people to process these guns and drill holes in the base in preparation for fixing them on the ship in the future!

After thinking about it day and night, I finally waited for the steamship.

Even though Zhao Rui was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by the huge silhouette of the steamship.

From a distance, it looks a little like the size of the Titanic in the movie.

Such a giant ship sailed all the way, and it is estimated that it is also a shock to the people who see it along the Yangtze River!

So Zhao Rui just completed the drilling process of the mortar base, and then installed the mortar on the big ship.

This ship has three decks, and Zhao Rui can also arrange three layers of mortars at the same time, but at this glance, this ship has become a real warship, which is equivalent to Zhao Rui's aircraft carrier in this era!

Such a big ship is driving on the river, not to mention that it can't hide the eyes of the Yuan and Song dynasties, even the people can't hide it.

So the folk rumors about Zhao Rui are becoming more and more evil, some say that he is the dragon king and wants to rule the world, and some say that he is a monster himself, and after cultivating his human form, he wants to dominate the world and have a good time.

But Zhao Rui's generosity to the people is well known, so within the scope of the territory, the people regard Zhao Rui as a living Bodhisattva.

The people set up statues for him, and some poor people simply pinched Zhao Rui's appearance with mud and put them at home to worship all day long.

At this time, Borkin paid more attention to Liu Zheng, he almost always talked about the key points, only a few days, he said that Zhao Rui might use a ship to attack the city, and then got the news that Zhao Rui had built a big ship, and the power of this big ship has not yet been studied to find out what is going on.

The report still has the appearance of a big ship painted on it, but not a single oar can be seen, and the strange thing is that the ship is still smoking and steaming all the time when it is sailing!

Anyway, it was Zhao Rui who used it to attack the city, and Borkin did not have the habit of sitting still, so he immediately asked Liu Zheng to make suggestions and find the best way to deal with the attack of the big ship.

Liu Zheng is still very experienced in this regard, and directly talked about the many restrictions of big ships in the water, and also found water ghosts among the people, that is, the kind of people who have excellent water properties and can dive, waiting to destroy Zhao Rui's boat!

At this time, the court of the Yuan Dynasty felt that Zhao Rui had no chance of winning, and now his big ship was no secret, and his side was ready, so he could only have no return!

Zhao Rui placed the boat on the river by Xiangyang, and the tinkling sound kept all day long, and many people here heard the news and came to pay respects.

For this kind of big ship beyond their cognition, everyone was extremely surprised, and at the same time, they had a deeper understanding of Zhao Rui's strength.

It is worthy of being a person who can fight against the Yuan and Song dynasties at the same time, such a big ship, even if they do it together, they may not be able to make it!

Finally, the mortars were equipped, and if you could look down on the entire hull of the ship, you would find that on the bare deck, almost every position, there were dense mortars.

If you think about the power of mortars, it is definitely the most frightening nightmare of this era.

At this time, Zhao Rui was on the ship learning about the steam drive system.

This time, Velu also came with the big ship, just so that it could be adjusted in use, and after so many days of sailing, the steam engine is now getting more and more perfect.

In that area of the steam oven, there are iron rooms, the purpose is to prevent accidents such as fires, and because of the successful development of thin iron plates, the bottom of the ship is also made of steel, but now with the addition of mortars, the steel part is pressed below the water level.

Previously, it was estimated that people thought that metal would sink into the water, but now with the development of the shipbuilding industry, coupled with the steam engine, this ship can sail calmly in the sea although it has an iron bottom.

Listening to what Jiao Xian said, they even encountered a storm on the way, but with the size of such a huge ship, there was no danger.

Their big ships did not come empty, but they brought with them a great deal of cloth.

Let Zhao Rui's sales here be more hot, they feel that Zhao Rui's fabrics are really good, quality is only one of the aspects, the most important thing is that the textile technology of their fabrics is still improving, in terms of flexibility, and comfort, every once in a while, it will bring surprises.

And the style that changes from time to time is even more dizzying, those merchants who come from afar, seem to feel that they buy a different color every time, and it is difficult to buy the same pattern of fabric as the previous purchase.

After seeing the steam engine, steam turbine, and dense mortars, Zhao Rui felt very satisfied, and felt that it was time to go on the expedition.

Most of the people who transported mortars were newly recruited troops from all over the country, so Zhao Rui didn't let them go, and had already let them shoot live ammunition in Fancheng for a period of time.

These people are all Zhao Rui waiting to defend the city after capturing it.

Now it was because of Wei Lu's departure that the production of the Makqin machine gun was reduced a lot, so Zhao Rui sent the currency of cloth and gold and silver to send Wei Lu back to Jiaozhi.

Now the bolt-type rifle is simple because of the simple process, so basically every soldier on Zhao Rui's side has a gun, plus there has been no war for a long time, and the bullets and **** that are being continuously produced are also being transported to Xiangfan in a steady stream.

The number of arms and ammunition simply made Zhao Rui excited.

Now it is no longer difficult to deal with the cities along the coast of the Yuan Dynasty.

But for the sake of insurance, Zhao Rui still called Xiong Er, who was far away in Tubo, back.

Because of the accuracy of Xiong Er's mortar aiming, there is really no one who can surpass him.

Everything is ready, the time has been autumn for a long time, and it is approaching winter, so Zhao Rui really took the soldiers out to sea to fight.

During this period, due to the carrying capacity of the large ships, all the medium-sized warships were mobilized from the Cochin Ampang state.

In fact, it's not that the loading capacity of the big ship is not good, but the mortars on it are too heavy, Zhao Rui ordered someone to say it deliberately, there are 888 mortars, Zhao Rui only feels that this number is too auspicious, and he really doesn't want to reduce it again.

Of course, in addition to mortars, the weight of ammunition is also very huge, so to speak, now a large number of **** and bullets are piled up in the hold of the entire ship.

Therefore, Zhao Rui had to transfer the centralized warship, and Anbang Prefecture did not disappoint Zhao Rui, knowing that Zhao Rui was in a hurry to use it, they also worked overtime to make a lot more.

Until Zhao Rui was walking on the river in a big boat, there were more than 180 medium-sized warships behind him.

These warships are all used for landing operations, and Zhao Rui is also very concerned about their combat effectiveness, so that in addition to an automatic rifle on each ship, ammunition is also open to supply.

For this battle, Zhao Rui is bound to win!

Now that Tangzhou has been captured, the first two nearest targets are Dengzhou and Yingzhou, Dengzhou is the nearest target west of Tangzhou, Zhao Rui decided to start from here, directly thinking about marching eastward, completely letting the Yuan Dynasty lose control of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

The fleet was heading towards Dengzhou, and Liu Zheng, who was close to Dengzhou, had already arranged a warship to wait, but looking at so many warships from Zhao Rui's side, the warships waiting here were directly scared away!

Anyway, there are no generals watching here, if you don't run, will you die?

Even a fool knows that waiting here to fight is no different from waiting for death.

Zhao Rui had already seen so many warships running away in a hurry, and he didn't care, but continued to approach Dengzhou City.
