Chapter 384: The World's Largest Fleet

Since ancient times, water and fire have been the most ruthless, and the vast blue sea was once the mother who raised coastal fishermen, but also the demon that devoured countless lives, especially before the outbreak of navigation technology, sailing to the deep sea is simply self-defeating.

The maritime trade with the Eastern Ying Kingdom also began to flourish in the Southern Song Dynasty, and it was necessary to divert to Goryeo before, and all kinds of natural storms and various shipwrecks devoured countless pioneers.

The navy sent by Kublai Khan also built 900 ships from Goryeo, and sailed into the water in the bay of Goryeo to sail to the Wa Kingdom, and by the time he returned, it was less than 500, which was equivalent to the loss of half of the army.

As for Zhao Tianyou's newly built heavy warship at sea in Quanzhou, when it was fully loaded, the number of armed personnel had reached 500, and the naval guns, rapid-fire guns, ballistas, and other powerful firearms were fully equipped.

There are also large transport ships that are not armed, specially designed to carry people and materials, which are also very strong, loaded with hundreds of people and countless materials, and were launched in Quanzhou Port for the first time, which immediately attracted businessmen from countless countries to observe and order.

This is a very important part of Zhao Tianyou's whole plan, overtime production is not enough, how can it be sold to others, many foreign businessmen have to ask someone to copy out the drawings, ready to return to China after their own construction.

For this reason, the craftsmen and masters of the Quanzhou shipyard scoffed, if it were not for the influence of Zhao Tianyou, the basic arithmetic method had been significantly improved, or they themselves would not have been able to design such a strong ship. If it can be made just from the outside, then the energy expended by these craftsmen will not be used on dogs, or if they really build a big ship that looks like a god, then the performance must be a mass of slag, sailing on the sea, and the only ones who are unlucky can be the people on the ship.

"My lord, I'm here!"

Cherry Maruko, who has grown taller and taller, has spoken Chinese very proficiently, and under the teaching of Mrs. Jingchen, she has learned a lot of French and a little Spanish. This fair-skinned and delicate little girl is really talented in language, and when Mu Chenglin introduced Xiao Maruki's growth in the past two years, Zhao Tianyou was taken aback.

"The balls have grown taller, is it because they couldn't eat enough at home before? Is being thin because of malnutrition? ”

Zhao Tianyou stretched out his hand and touched the top of Maruko's head, the black and shiny hair was very thick, and it rubbed Zhao Tianyou's fingers smoothly, and Maruko seemed to close his eyes very enjoying.

"Yes, they are the children of rich families, and their meals can't catch up with the ordinary people of our Quanzhou people, not to mention the low status of girls, and the good goods are given priority to their brothers, and boys who have been trained as samurai since they were young.

If you become a powerful samurai on Wakoku Island, you will be able to ensure that you have enough to eat, and the adults in power will look down on you, of course, in their place, the fastest to die is naturally the young man of the samurai industry. ”

Although Mrs. Jingchen has been vulgar for a long time, and has made a mandarin duck couple with Mu Chenglin, the solemn look between her eyebrows and eyes is still there, and Zhao Tianyou fostered Xiao Wanzi here, which is really a very correct choice.

"Just follow me this time, Maruko can follow me as a full-time translator, now I have learned four or five languages, the future achievements are limitless, the least goal is set in eight Chinese, how about Maruko?" Think you can do it? ”

Zhao Tianyou's hearty smile was like a powerful stimulant, which was directly injected into the body of the pill, and his fair face instantly turned red, and he clenched his small fists and said heavily.

"My respected master, Maruko will definitely do your task, if you can't learn the eight Chinese dialects, Maruko will die at the master's feet immediately."

In the next days of conquest, he was no longer in China, and after finding this inkstone, the turquoise ring still had no direction, but Zhao Tianyou vaguely felt that he still had to go to Europe for a while.

It's not just a matter of finding the ring, but after the time and space are reversed, he hasn't forgotten in his heart that although Genghis Khan has done it in front, the means may be more brutal and ferocious, but after all, it is the means of the Great Mongol Empire, and it has nothing to do with Zhao Tianyou's Chinese Han nationality.

This hatred is natural, engraved into Zhao Tianyou's mind since he was a child, and the patriotic education at that time won the hearts of the people.

Every Chinese boy who grew up with Zhao Tianyou at the same time, when he was a child, his favorite thing to play was to use his hands to gesture to shootouts, and the most unlucky children always need to play the traitor Little Japan who was besieged by everyone and bear everyone's attacks.

"What are you going to do when you grow up?"

"Teacher, I want to be a soldier when I grow up, carry a gun to fight a war, and fight a small life."

"Teacher, I'm going to join the army to defend the country and catch traitor dog spies."

At that time, in elementary school classrooms, the imaginary enemy of our time was this country, but now, the mixed and hot view of separating history from reality has become the mainstream, and the atmosphere of Ha Ri and Ha Han is regarded as popular among young people. They have forgotten how their ancestors survived the brutal war, and many of their closest relatives have been turned into white bones in those eight years.

And the people of that island nation, whose ancestors have guarded the poor land for generations, eat not enough food, and their greatest desire is to jump out of this volcanic island and occupy the fertile land on which other people's families depend.

It can be said that the idea of aggression against others has been deeply engraved in the minds of the Japanese people from generation to generation, who humbly study the culture of the Han nationality, strive to improve their own strength, and advocate relying on force to settle all disputes.

And the Hojo family, the Kamakura shogunate, who are now in power, have integrated the forces on several islands and are about to create a powerful shogun era, and the Wa Kingdom, which is gradually growing stronger in the constant competition, will sooner or later become a scourge for the Chinese people.

Therefore, Zhao Tianyou has a plan, on a very great day in history, he will personally lead a huge fleet to arm and land on those islands to form the center of the country, so that their future generations will remember that resounding day for generations, and it will be indelible for the rest of their lives.

Zhao Tianyou made careful preparations in Quanzhou for more than half a year, and finally in the summer of 1282 A.D., in the fifth year of Xiangxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, more than three years had passed since the Battle of Yashan, he personally led 100 heavy warships, 300 medium-sized warships, plus more than 300 transport ships carrying people and food materials, forming the largest fleet in the world at that time.

Starting from Quanzhou, along the coastline all the way to the north, towards Ningbo Port.
