The third volume of the opening of the emperor's prosperous era Chapter 89 Water Army
Dao Heng was born in the north, and has been traveling in the frontier grasslands in his early years, he is good at poetry, when Yang Yong recited the debut sentence "Jiangnan is good, the scenery is old and familiar." At that time, Xue Daoheng didn't care, waiting for "the sunrise river flowers are red, and the river water is as green as blue in spring." As soon as it came out, Xue Daoheng was suddenly moved, and reminisced: "Good poems, good poems, after listening to the poems of His Royal Highness, the minister can't wait to cross the river by boat now, and take a look at the sunrise river flowers are red, and the river water is as green as blue in spring." 's beautiful view of Gangnam. His Royal Highness's talent, the minister is not as good as it. β
"Okay, it's definitely a good poem, but His Royal Highness seems to have never been to Jiangnan, why is there a strong feeling of longing in the poem?" Wang Shao asked suspiciously.
Yang Guang looked at Yang Yong with a shocked face, and only reacted when he heard Wang Shao's words: "Yes, the eldest brother's poem is really good, but as the teacher said, the eldest brother has never been to Jiangnan, this poem ...... This poem ......"
The implication is that Yang Guang still doesn't believe that this poem was written by Yang Yong himself, Yang Guang guessed correctly by mistake, but Xue Daoheng immediately said: "Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not been to Jiangnan before, we are about to arrive, His Royal Highness was sincere and persistent when he chanted the poem just now, and he still felt it, maybe His Royal Highness just wrote the feelings after a few years, why not?" β
Wang Shao and Yang Guang hurriedly looked at Yang Yong, Yang Yong's face was really a lonely color, and several people were puzzled in their hearts, the prince is young, and now the form of the Great Sui is very good, and it is possible to end the situation of China's centuries-old division immediately, as a prison army, the prince's exploits will definitely be recorded in the annals of history, why is there a lonely color?
Although this poem is a pirated copy of Yang Yong, he was an out-and-out southerner in his previous life. Now that I remember this song about Jiangnan, I do have the feeling of being like a dream for ten years, no wonder it will make Xue Daoheng and others misunderstand.
For the remaining dozens of miles, Yang Guang no longer had any interest in chanting poetry with Xue Daoheng, and kept hurrying with his head until he saw the city wall of Luzhou (near present-day Hefei), and his spirit was slightly lifted.
Outside Luzhou, the crowd that greeted the arrival of the two princes of the marching marshal and the supervisor army was crowded. Not only the governor of Luzhou, Han Baohu, personally led officials at all levels to greet him outside the city. He Ruobi, Yan Rong. Danzhou Thorn Shi Duyan...... They all brought their subordinates to Luzhou to visit.
Yan Rong is about fifty years old, stout, at a glance he knows that he is a fierce general, he was born in Huayin Honghua, his father Yan Wei, for the general of Zhou, Sui Kaihuang for three years. Yan Rong once made great contributions to the defeat of the Turkic invasion with the king of Hejian, and later moved to the governor of Qingzhou, Yan Rong is strong in martial arts, and likes to take the lead in war, but he is irritable, and he whips his subordinates for trivial things.
Du Yan and Yan Rong are of the same age, born in Yunzhong, but they moved to Zhoudi with their father Du Qian since they were children. Contrary to Yan Rong. Du Yan is very gentle, and at first glance, he looks like a kind and kind master, but. Knowing Du Yan's achievements, no one dares to underestimate him, when he was appointed as the left servant on the soil, he followed the then Zhu State General Lu Tong to defeat the Southern Dynasty Chen General Wu Mingche, the Zhou Dynasty was just established, Du Yan was only more than 20 years old and personally led the troops to quell the barbarian uprising, beheaded its Qu Shuai, and pacified the Yingzhou Fan Zhi uprising, with outstanding military achievements, worship as the governor of the capital, when Wei Chi Hui uprising, Du Yan stood on the right team, repeatedly made military exploits, after the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, Du Yan was promoted to Shangkaifu, knighted Xiangwu County Marquis, and is now the history of Danzhou Thorn.
"See the Prince! See King Jin! Han Baohu and He Ruobi took the lead and bowed to Yang Yong and Yang Guang.
Yang Guang raised his hand, and was about to say that he was exempt from courtesy, but Yang Yong had already spoken first: "Everyone Aiqing is exempt!" β
"His Royal Highness Prince Xie, His Royal Highness King Xie Jin!" Most of the generals who came were military generals, so naturally they didn't pay attention to any details, and when they heard that the prince was exempt, there was a sudden uproar, and everyone got up to the ground, and Yang Guang's words had to be held in his mouth.
From the morning to now, the sergeant has rushed nearly a hundred miles, at this time both men and horses are tired, although there is still an hour or so before dark, everyone wants to quickly enter the city to settle down, and when everyone gets up, Yang Yong immediately ordered to enter the city.
Luzhou was regarded as a military important place when it was built, however, due to the convenient waterway in the territory, close to Chaohu Lake, directly connected to the Yangtze River, and a large number of troops stationed for a long time, it required huge consumption, and the whole city also prospered rapidly, in order to welcome the arrival of the supervising army and the marching marshal, the streets of Luzhou seemed to be severely punished, the whole street looked extremely smooth, and there was no garbage to be seen, for the sake of safety, the shops on both sides of the street had been closed, and the soldiers and horses of the governor's office lined up in a long queue on both sides. Despite this, you can still see the prosperity of Luzhou from the countless shops, inns, and taverns on the entire street.
However, thousands of people and horses are not in the mood to watch the prosperity of Luzhou at this time, most of the guards were arranged to the military camp that has been prepared, Luzhou City itself is a large military camp, the ratio of soldiers to people has reached about one to three, thousands of more people, there is no impact at all, countless cauldrons have been set up in the barracks, large pieces of pig and mutton and fragrant rice are boiling in the pot, and a jar of wine has also been moved into the barracks.
The crown prince and the king of Jin naturally lived in the governor's mansion of Han Baohu with personal guards, and the governor's mansion also held a banquet that night to entertain the prince, the king of Jin and the generals who rushed over from various fronts, and the military attachΓ©s in the army were all bold and temperamental when they arrived at the wine table, and when they were drunk, even Yang Yong and Yang Guang were inevitably drunk until they were drunk.
It is June now, the weather is getting hotter, and the river is surging, it is not suitable to launch a large-scale attack immediately, not to mention the dispatch of 500,000 troops, many sergeants are from the north, the water and soil are not adapted, if the forced attack, maybe there is Cao Cao's defeat of Chibi, must be trained first, the court selected the date of sending troops is around December, when the weather is cold, the winter troops, conducive to the north and not conducive to the south, the Sui army just used these months to make the soldiers transferred from the north familiar with the water.
After Yang Yong woke up the next day, he first met with Yang Guang and the generals who came from the front line one by one, and asked them to return to the station, and it was necessary to make all the soldiers from the north familiar with the water before December.
In order to paralyze Nan Chen, Yang Yong ordered that all the newly built big ships were not allowed to go out in the Yangtze River, and all the small boats trained in the Yangtze River were dilapidated boats, and Nan Chen's generals were still nervous at first
After discovering that the ships used for training in the Sui Dynasty were small and broken. Suddenly, with such a small boat, don't say that it is in, but it is a little windy, as long as you dare to make it to the center of the river, it will be the ship that will be overwhelmed, so you don't care.
Thousands of miles of Jianghuai, Chaohu Lake is the most beautiful. The beauty of Chaohu Lake. It's not just about her vastness. It is also due to the beauty of the islands in the lake. The products are abundant, some people use "one hundred and eight miles of shape is uneven" to describe the beauty of Chaohu Lake, and some people use "Peng Island in the world" and "there is no lake sky" to describe the beauty of the island in the middle of Chaohu Lake.
Laoshan is the largest island in the center of Chaohu Lake, more than 1,200 meters long from east to west, more than 700 meters wide from north to south, one tower, three pavilions, six mountains and nine peaks on the island, quiet and quiet. The scenery is pleasant in all seasons, but it is temporarily used as a water village for the Sui army to train soldiers, at this moment Yang Yong and Yang Guang with dozens of entourages, accompanied by Han Baohu, the governor of Luzhou, personally climbed the highest pavilion in the mountain.
The island is verdant with undulating mountains and forests, surrounded by turquoise lakes, and a variety of unknown water birds from time to time paddling across the distant surface of the water, waving layers of waves. It's a peaceful and serene scene.
"Knock, knock, knock." Suddenly there was a drum beat in the distance. The calm of the water surface was broken, and the birds that were foraging in the water were startled and immediately spread their wings and squeaked. Squeaked and flew away, and a black shadow suddenly sailed out of the blue lake in front of him, and then the black shadow became bigger and bigger, and slowly turned into two huge warships that appeared in front of everyone, and behind these two big ships, there were countless small black dots closely following.
When the warship sailed into the front of the island a few hundred meters, Yang Guang, Wang Shao, Qu Tutong and others all opened their eyes wide, they had been to the north, and the largest ship they saw was only three or five zhang long and two or three zhang wide, but a huge ship appeared in front of them broke their cognition. The height of this giant ship was divided into five floors alone, and when it came closer, it immediately made people feel a huge sense of oppression.
"Lord Han, how many of this ship are there?" Qu Tutong couldn't help but ask.
"Hey, hey." Han Baohu's face was colorful, and he said: "This ship is five zhang high, more than 30 zhang long, and more than 10 zhang wide. β
The height has reached five zhang, and the height has exceeded the length of the largest ship in the north, no wonder there is such a great oppression, everyone is staring at the big ship sailing over, reluctant to let go of their eyes.
"Huh." With a shout, countless warriors poured onto the side of the ship, archers, javelinmen, hands, layer after layer, and at the top was the clapper, the clapper was condescending, if it was an ordinary boat, it would only take a moment to destroy the enemy's ship. The glittering weapon was pointed directly at the island, and although there was still a difference of hundreds of meters between the two, even if the soldiers on the ship really attacked, their arrows and javelins could not be thrown under the island, but everyone on the island still felt a tingling in their scalps.
Although Yang Yong has seen a ship far larger than the current five-tooth giant ship in later generations, and it is made of steel, but at this moment he is also shocked by the immersive scene, such a giant ship is equivalent to the aircraft carrier of later generations, think about it is a thousand years later, such a big ship is also a behemoth, and those Western robbers who opened the door to China with their ships and cannons may only make small wooden boats at this moment.
We have led the world so much, but unfortunately, we have been resting on our laurels until others catch up and surpass, what limits our steps?
"Chitose Prince, Chitose King of Jin!" A shout suddenly erupted from the five-tooth giant ship, and the waves of the entire Chaohu Lake rose and fell, and since the appearance of this group of sailors, the calm waves on the lake have been tumbling.
Yang Guang asked in a trembling voice: "Then how many people can this ship carry." β
"Back to the king of Jin, he can carry 800 people." Han Baohu replied calmly.
Yang Guang and the others gasped, a boat can carry 800 people, 10 ships can intercept 8,000 people, if there are 100 ships that can carry 80,000 people at a time, such a large ship must be extremely stable, even if the soldiers stand on it, they don't have to worry about seasickness, so what do they need to train for?
Xue Daoheng said this kind of question, Han Baohu suddenly laughed, and explained: "Lord Xue, the construction of the dragon tooth ship is extremely difficult, my dynasty began to build it in the third year of the emperor, until now, but only five have been built, if this ship is used as a flagship, it has a wide field of vision, smooth command, if it is used in battle, it is too bulky, of course invincible in the depths of the water, if it is shallow or narrow in the water, it cannot be driven at all, otherwise it can only be stranded, and the real battle is still the golden-winged warship behind, each ship carries thirty to fifty people, No matter how wide or narrow the water surface is, you can advance and retreat freely. β
Everyone looked at the water again, and at this time the water was already covered with dense ships, except for the two five-tooth giant ships, all of them were small boats with thirty or forty people, but at first everyone focused on the five-tooth giant ship and ignored the rest of the ships.
Yang Yong's heart moved: "Han Aiqing, how many golden-winged warships are there in our army now?" β
"Back to the prince, Weichen has 350 ships under his command, which can carry 12,000 soldiers across the river at a time."
"Okay, keep practicing."
"Yes." The soldiers standing at the front waved their flags, and then the drums changed, and the ships that were gathering in the middle of the lake suddenly slowed down, and then divided into two teams from the two flanks, and the geese marched towards the imaginary enemy.
A full 10,000 sailors skillfully demonstrated their skills in meeting the enemy, encircling the enemy, destroying the enemy, and chasing the enemy in front of Yang Yong and Yang Guang, and everyone was amazed.
"If there are 100,000 sailors, destroy Chen Yiyu in the south." Xue Daoheng looked at it and praised it loudly.
Han Baohu pursed his lips and ignored Xue Daoheng's nerd sigh, it took four years for Da Sui Guang to train this navy of more than 10,000 people, and I don't know how much money was consumed, 100,000 sailors, it is easy to say, unless Da Sui is willing to wait another ten years before it is possible to train these 100,000 sailors.
"Okay, Han Aiqing, the next thing is to prepare more ships, and in the next few months, I only need to train the navy on how to send my hundreds of thousands of troops safely to the south coast." "If Weichen obeys the order, he will live up to His Highness's trust." Han Baohu replied.
