Chapter 806: Renzong's Decision

This encirclement is definitely the most uncomfortable place for Han Qi, I thought that the vastness of the Northern Song Dynasty, after the Liao State has been destroyed, the Northern Song Dynasty has no threat except for the Dinghai, but now, there is no threat, all the neighboring countries, except for the ocean, are all Dinghai.

Unconsciously, the Ding Navy laid down such a huge piece of land, surrounding the Northern Song Dynasty in all directions, it is conceivable that if the Ding Navy is really hostile, the places he can attack are also the places in the entire Northern Song Dynasty, which is much easier than the sea.

Fu Bi also heard of it for the first time, but could it be that the copied map that Han Qi obtained, plus some of the time of destruction and the kingdom he once had, Fu Bi didn't speak.

Fu Bi is a privy envoy, it can be said that he not only dominates the military of the entire Northern Song Dynasty, but also is in charge of the spy department of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Several countries in the south are located in the Indochina Peninsula, he knows, and even the rebellion of Yizhigao back then, what he relied on, Fu Bi also knows, but in such detail, describing the state of the whole country, a simple history, and now, how it was taken, it is really not what Fu Bi can achieve, from this, it can be understood that the Ding Navy really took the Indochina Peninsula.

Compared with the Indochina Peninsula, what surprised Fu Bi more was Tibet, which was in the Tang Dynasty, it was Tibet, and now, it has become a nomadic tribal kingdom, because of the towering terrain and the harsh environment and got its name, here, even the invincible Tang army, there is no way, let alone the Northern Song Dynasty.

The cavalry of Western Xia, placed on the plateau, can still fight, but the infantry armor of the Northern Song Dynasty is a nightmare when placed on the plateau.

In itself, altitude sickness, this is a process of natural selection and elimination, and on the heavy armored infantry, you need to wear heavy armor and carry heavy materials, and the overall consumption is much higher than that of the cavalry, and it is on the plateau, so the heavy armored cavalry, the main force of the Northern Song Dynasty, has never climbed this plateau. ,

This point, for the Dingjun, is also a difficult problem to solve, altitude sickness on the plateau, there is no way to solve it, that is according to the conditions of the human body, can only start to try to adapt, for example, in Sichuan, in Gansu, and other regions, similar to some experiments on the plateau, so that these soldiers can adapt to the plateau.

The focus of altitude sickness is hypoxia, which can be done, and the steel processing of the Navy can already make oxygen cylinders, and the pressurization device and infusion device are not very difficult.

Since the advent of electricity, it is not a problem to make oxygen, electrolysis of water, and many other solutions, most of which will give birth to oxygen, through the distribution of buoyancy, so that oxygen and hydrogen are separated, which can produce more practical oxygen, and then infusion into the cylinder, once there is a problem, take out the oxygen in the cylinder, and use it.

Even so, with the help of the Dinghai Navy's powerful thermal weapons and artillery, the Dinghai Navy still had a relatively difficult time to take Tibet, at that time, there were very few people responsible for attacking Tibet, only about 8,000 people, and it took three months to finally take Tibet and return Tibet to the embrace of China.

Tibet was easily taken, Dali further south, and India, which was located in the South Asian subcontinent across the Himalayas, at this time, India was still in a state of division, and several great powers ruled part of the territory, among them, the Chola Kingdom even invaded Southeast Asia, mainly in part of Indonesia.

The takeover of India was a two-pronged approach, with a part of the troops in Tibet crossing the Himalayas, because the mountains were steep and there were not many places to pass, plus logistical problems, at most they occupied a certain bridgehead, mainly along the vicinity of the Western Mayala Mountains.

But in the south, it was different, when occupying the Indochina Peninsula and Southeast Asia, the Ding Navy had already clashed with the Chola State, and it was a one-sided massacre at that time, and after taking the personnel of the Chola State, it continued to move forward along this side of the ocean as a springboard.

Although it is said that in this era, there was no way to fly the ship over the land, but the detour of Malacca, which itself was one of the ancient waterways, was the way the Arabs arrived in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Thousands of Spanish galleons, as well as a large number of other warships, with a total of 100,000 men, entered the heart of India, and immediately achieved a great victory.

Around, many countries, even if it is the closest, and the distance between the Northern Song Dynasty, is more than 1000 kilometers, which is nothing for the passage of trains, just a day, but for no trains, or primitive, with carriages, horses, etc. as a means of transportation in the era, if the middle is mixed with geographical problems, the Northern Song Dynasty's contact with the outside world is almost severed.

That's right, there are not even overseas businessmen, businessmen are chasing profits, in those years, when the Dinghai Navy was vigorously developed, all kinds of fresh things, new specialties, attracted foreign businessmen, and they even helped the Dinghai Navy to complete the laying of the maritime foundation.

Later, with the rapid development of the Dinghai Navy, it not only replaced the Northern Song Dynasty and became the first trading destination for overseas merchants, but also with the capture of Hainan, overseas merchants rarely entered the Northern Song Dynasty.

After all, from the Northern Song Dynasty, even Guangzhou, and Hainan, there are hundreds of thousands of miles of sea routes, not to mention the gradual upward movement along the sea, from the Yangtze River into the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and then to Kaifeng Mansion, this section of the road is too long.

Hainan is much closer, and the Dinghai Navy has developed Hainan specifically for commerce and trade, with special areas and shopping malls, as long as foreign businessmen arrive, they can easily obtain all the goods they need, and they don't have to go to the Northern Song Dynasty to purchase.

Of course, those who are willing to take risks and want to see the entire scenery of the Northern Song Dynasty can't be stopped, but how many people are like this.

Along with the Dinghai Navy, set its sights on Southeast Asia, in Malacca, built a new trading city, and then, the Indochina Peninsula, close to this side of the Indian Ocean, step by step, every time, is to save more than 1,000 kilometers, especially to the Indian Ocean, without considering the monsoon, from the Arabian region to the Indochina Peninsula, almost saving more than half of the voyage, this is the most exciting.

Originally, it was possible to go back and forth once a year at most, but now, it may be increased to two times, or even three times, and this efficiency, in terms of how to choose the cargo of the navy, is almost doomed.

After listening to Han Qi's story, Fu Bi also didn't know what to do, Han Qi's record contains many aspects, wealth, productivity level, combat effectiveness, these three, compared with the Dinghai Navy, there is a very huge difference between the Northern Song Dynasty, how did the Northern Song Dynasty fight.

Han Qi and Fu Bi entered the palace one after another, and met with everyone, including Renzong and important ministers, after Han Qi told what he had seen and heard about the Ding Navy, everyone was silent, some of them were a little prescient, or the ministers who knew more about the Ding Navy, they knew that the Ding Navy was terrible.

This kind of cognition is just a simple, subjective cognition, knowing that the Dinghai Navy is extremely powerful, but to what extent it is powerful, most people do not know.

Now, Han Qi put the data in front of them one by one, in the 19th year of Qingli, that is, last year, the GDP of the entire Dinghai Navy exceeded 7 trillion yuan, and the tax revenue was as high as 880 billion, which was a figure that made the Northern Song Dynasty tremble, and even tremble.

880 billion, which is almost about 1,400 times the current financial revenue of the Northern Song Dynasty, you know, the Northern Song Dynasty is not small, and thanks to the factories harvested from the Dinghai Navy, the Northern Song Dynasty has been able to get to this point today, but after calculation, it may not even be a small city in the Dinghai.

Not to mention, Shenyang, Shenyang is the largest city in the Dinghai Navy, the entire circle of Shenyang, accounting for 4 percent of the GDP of the Dinghai Navy, and Shenyang itself, is also as high as 1 into 5, that is to say, a Shenyang, contributed 135 billion yuan of financial revenue, is more than 200 times that of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Among the many remaining cities, the 100th ranked is almost the same as the fiscal revenue of the Northern Song Dynasty, which is 1.8 billion, which is three times that of the Northern Song Dynasty.

In recent years, with the increase in the size of the Northern Song Dynasty, especially the governors, they have their own affairs, so they are not as ignorant of wealth and income as they were in the past, but the overall numbers still make them dizzy.

Knowing that the navy is rich, but it is rich to this extent, it is really unimaginable, especially the third envoy, who looked at Renzong desperately, but he didn't say anything, so Renzong asked Zhao Xin for money.

Han Qi was forced to go into the field because of financial problems, and then, with Han Qi's departure, the entire financial problem became even more serious, not only did not ease, but was greatly strengthened, in this case, the third division was the first to bear the brunt.

But the financial problem is a big problem, and the third division has already thought of everything he can think of before, but if this problem is not solved, what to do, the burden will be on his head, and he is almost crazy.

Now, I suddenly heard that the income of the Dinghai Navy is so high, not to mention anything else, even if it is a little bit from the middle, not to mention too much, 50 million guan is enough, which is enough to solve the problem of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Of course, Renzong saw the vision of the three envoys, and he also knew very well that this was for him to ask for money from the Dinghai Navy, how to do this, hundreds of thousands, millions, considered filial piety, 50 million, what is it, and the future deficit is big, 100 million, 200 million, is it difficult to succeed?

When the others saw the attitude of the three envoys, they also thought of this, but they didn't speak, and even some people were thinking about Renzong's mentality and Han Qi's purpose.

Money is only one aspect, and after that, a series of data opened the eyes of the entire high-level of the Northern Song Dynasty, and they never thought that right around them, the Navy would develop to this extent.

The population, 250 million, is 5 times the current population of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the population may not represent everything, but back then, if the Liao State was not more than 10 million people, but 20 million, 30 million, I am afraid that the Northern Song Dynasty would have ceased to exist a long time ago.

But what is even more terrifying should be productivity, the Northern Song Dynasty because of the influence of the Dinghai Navy, the steel output also began to be expressed in tons, after learning from the Dinghai, especially from the Daimyo blacksmith workshop began to absorb, the steel output of the Northern Song Dynasty, also repeatedly broke through, to the 20th year of Qingli, also reached the level of 1.2 million tons.

This is already very terrible in the whole feudal society, before the output of the Northern Song Dynasty, about 8 to 100,000 tons, in the Tang Dynasty in history, one algorithm is 5,000 tons per year, one algorithm is 1,200 tons, no matter which one, it is far inferior.

If it is said that there are rich people, it is still a part of the strength, then the military strength is a direct display, the Dinghai Navy has a total of 1.28 million troops of various types, of which 380,000 are in the navy and 900,000 in the army, which sounds nothing, and there are 800,000 forbidden troops in the Northern Song Dynasty, plus the box army, it is also more than 1 million, but can this be compared.

Because of Zhao Xin's care, many top-secret things were released to Han Qi, and some troops were set up, and Han Qi understood that this was incomparable.

The navy is an army of thermal weapons, and the army is not only the soldier himself, but also a gun, bullets, and all kinds of auxiliary equipment, which is just the most basic equipment of a soldier.

After that, a squad of 12 people had 1 light machine gun and 2 semi-automatic rifles, a platoon had an additional 2 heavy machine guns and 3 light machine guns, and later, at the company level, it had small-caliber artillery.

Seamless steel pipes have been made, the advantage of the Navy in ammunition, so that mortars began to appear, the lightest mortar, easy to carry, very useful for infantry support firepower, as infantry front-line support firepower is very suitable.

If these are only the basics, then, a battalion has 6 37mm guns, and a regiment has 12 75mm mountain guns, these step by step upward superposition, not only make the entire army cost, incomparably huge, but also arm the firepower to the teeth.

Zhao Xin's comparison has never been the Northern Song Dynasty, with the strength of the Northern Song Dynasty, let alone the current equipment, even 10 years ago, or even earlier, the weapons and equipment used to deal with the Liao State were enough.

Zhao Xin simply compared the object of the British and German elites during World War II, requiring them to be completely overwhelmed in terms of firepower, which created this wonderful army, a division is equipped with at least more than 1,200 machine guns, almost an average of five or six people, at the same time, a large number of equipped artillery, not only heavy, but also support light artillery.

Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, as well as officials, are not uninformed, but this army has completely exceeded their expectations, but the most killer feature is the armored cruiser, when Han Qi threw the armored cruiser out, everyone stopped talking, and everyone turned their eyes to Renzong.

Renzong thought for a long time, sighed, and made a decision, and once again formed a delegation, with Han Qi as the head, the governor's affairs, the six Shangshu, and the army generals, as long as they wanted to go, they could go, and the number of people should be controlled at about 300 people.
