The Tatar bandit group began in the Ming Dynasty of Ögedai, and all its finances mainly relied on the "Semu people" to preside over it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The civil officials relied on the Han Chinese, and the military relied on the Tatars.

In this way, the three forces in the Tatar bandit group were very well balanced.

Sometimes, however, it is possible to focus on one side on an ad hoc basis...... For example, now, the big boss Kublai Khan needs money and materials, so it is a normal need to look up at people.

Of course, after dominating the world later, you know the end of this lustful man.

The evil forces basically will not share the fruits of success with those who helped him back then.

Liu Quan, Zhang Hongfan, and Ahma, except for Liu Quan, who died in the army, the other two were all wiped out...... The clan was wiped out, including that Pu Shougeng.

Of course, there are various reasons why they were exterminated and their property confiscated, but the greatest common denominator is that they used to work so hard to help the evil forces.

Pingzhang Ahma is now grasping the financial and personnel powers, and his arrogance is blazing, so his exhortation to the big leader Kublai Khan is still effective.

Kublai Khan, the big boss, listened to him, stopped the increase in taxes, and handed over the increased revenue to Liu Cheng for reconstruction...... At the same time, the entire Sichuan province was ordered to provide assistance.

When he had a navy, he didn't think it was very important, and when he didn't have a navy, he knew that it was worth paying attention to.

This kind of strange situation was never expected by Zhang Guoan, who was far away on Liuqiu Island.

The Jinghu system made Lu Wende build a thousand sand boats in Xiangyang City, so as to resist Liu Quan's naval provocation...... Daring to compete with the Jinghu Theater for armaments, the head of the Lu military group was the first to refuse.

In the people, the common people also support Lu Wende, after all, this matter is Liu Quan's fault first, how can the trade route be cut off? !

When it was rumored that the entire Sichuan province had begun to build warships. Moreover, it is said that the military resources that enter Fengjie City every day are in the hundreds...... Lu Wende was really angry and announced: "Build another 3,000 sand ships!" If you can't wait for Lin'an to draw money, you will pay it in advance with the Lu family! If you are in power, you will have a way to live as a business! ”

Lu Wende's judgment is correct, and now, the Yangtze River waterway from Fengjie to Ezhou. There were frequent sailors sent by Liu Quan, boarding merchant ships heading upstream in the name of inspecting Haiyan, and the people were unbearable!

At this time, a merchant from Mingzhou came to offer advice, this person was selling whale oil in Xiangyang City, opened a shop, and sold oil lamps.

He used to go to Liuqiu Island by himself to sell, and then he hired three or five men...... Originally, he was the first merchant to sell whale oil in Lin'an, but later a big businessman got involved. He found that he was far from being able to sell them...... The profit is far less than before, so I first went to Ezhou City, an important town on the Yangtze River, to sell.

But soon after, there were big merchants who also went there to sell, so they arrived in Xiangyang City, where there was a trade field with the north, and after making a few large orders, they finally had a large amount of money, and settled in Xiangyang City. Purchased a larger shop.

Whale oil can be used for stir-frying, and it can also be used as lamp oil. It is far better than rapeseed oil or sesame oil, and it is brighter, and the business is booming.

But Liu Quan's behavior on the Yangtze River really disgusted the merchants!

He is a businessman and has nothing to do with Liu Quan...... On this day, he heard that Liu Quan's navy searched Haiyan under the pretext of taking away a large barrel of whale oil, which made him angry!

That's the cost of twenty-seven guan, and it can be sold for a hundred!

He hated and hated. I thought of a kind of boat I saw in my hometown of Mingzhou Dinghai Army.

So he immediately asked to see Lu Wende and told them one by one.

Previously, Feng Zhan, the commander of the Dinghai Sea Army in Mingzhou, had been ordered to build warships.

After accepting the task, he did not draw gourds in the same way as some large ships in the past, but carefully analyzed the characteristics of various ships.

He found that the "bottom of the lake" can be shallow. The "cover" of the "warship" can meet the enemy, and the "head and tail" of the "sea ship" can break the waves.

So, he pooled the advantages of various boats and built a multi-oared boat.

This new type of multi-oared boat has excellent performance, they are the bottom of the lake boat, the cover of the warship, the bow and tail of the sea boat, with 42 oars, and the traffic is extremely light.

It is a new type of river and sea dual-purpose ship that combines the type of lake boat and sea boat, the rivers, lakes and seas are indispensable, and can carry 200 soldiers, but it is extremely light, and can be equipped with a bow and arrow bed crossbow......

"Haha, this thing is very good!" Although Lu Wende, the envoy of Jinghu System, was a monk halfway, he had also fought in water battles, and as soon as he heard his story, he understood, saying, "Very good, very good...... I also suddenly remembered that there is indeed such a warship, thank you for reminding me! ”

Lu Wende originally handed over the shipbuilding matter directly to the craftsmen and it was over, but he heard that the two armies had fought on the Yangtze River, but the other party ran away quickly with the small boat.

There were often such things, and he didn't pay attention to them at the time...... After being reminded by the other party, he remembered that if the two armies on the Yangtze River were fighting, in addition to the water flow and wind power, then manpower must also be used!

Lu Wende added: "The boat was too slow and too small to be used on the river...... Manpower rocking the oar is the right way......"

The merchant finally said that he had seen the guards there on the island of Liuqiu, and that there was a kind of copper pipe, which was mixed with black powder and stones, and when it was ignited, it was like a landslide and the earth cracked, and the bullets rained down......

Lu Wende is a local tyrant who started as a charcoal burner, and he doesn't have much culture, so he didn't figure it out after thinking about it for a long time, so he recruited the master craftsman who made the arquebus and asked them to discuss.

After hearing this, the master craftsman thought for a while and said, "This is a large assault rifle cast in bronze......"

Lu Wende was very excited, patted the rosewood table, and asked someone to give the merchant a reward.

and made them hasten to make what he needed.

"After it is made, there will be a big reward for this system!"

Whether it was a blacksmith or a shipwright, they all left happily...... Lu Zhizhi makes this good, and he is happy to give a reward!

In this era, the Great Song Dynasty shipwrights were experts in building rocking boats.

Whether it's small or large, they're all at it.

Needless to say, in the large branches, the bottom and sides of the ship were made of two or three layers of planks, and there could be four layers of cabins, with a total of about fifty to a hundred rooms, generally four to six masts, eight to ten oars per ship, and four people per oar.

There was even a boat of twenty oars, each of which had ten to twenty people.

The cabins are all watertight compartments, and each compartment is strictly divided.

Even if one or two cabins are damaged, only two cabins in this cabin will be flooded, and the whole ship will not be sunk, which provides an important guarantee for safe navigation.

This technology is far superior to Western and Arab shipbuilding technology.

The current Jinghu Theater also includes the area of Luzhou, Sichuan, which is a key theater, Lu Wende has been operating here for more than 20 years, and in the entire Lu family, it is already a word, and the military resources are sufficient, so he is afraid of engaging in a naval arms race with Liu Quan, a big embezzler?

In this way, the competition between the two places escalated...... (To be continued.) )
