Chapter 446: Lin Chong's Tragedy (He Mai Duo Dou Dou Becomes the Helmsman Plus Chapter)
Just as Cai Jing and others launched a vigorous offensive, Gao Yu was not idle, after a series of plans in Gao Yanei were destroyed, he finally figured out a truth, this can't do this on his own, in desperation, he played tricks, pretended to be sick and begged for death, and under the threat of crying and hanging, Gao Yu agreed to help him.
In addition to Gao Yu's short-term character, Zhang San was suddenly favored because of the last time he transported flowers and stones, and this matter may be despised by others, but it is very stressful for Gao Yu, who is also a favorite minister, especially Tong Guan, Cai Jing and others also have the opportunity to shoot the dragon's fart.
So Gao Yu also decided to take this matter to teach Zhang San a lesson, although it was not easy for Gao Yu to move Zhang San, but it was still very simple to move Lin Chong, Lin Chong, as Zhang San's friend, was Zhou Dong's apprentice, so he felt that if he moved Lin Chong, he would also slap Zhang San in the face.
Lin Chong mistakenly entered the White Tiger Festival Hall, Zhang San didn't know the specific time, so Zhang San only stared at the side together, especially if Lin Chong had the idea of borrowing money to buy a knife, then it would not be far from the beginning of the plot.
During the time that Zhang San was waiting, the preparations for the Ryukyus were intensifying, in addition to the production of warships at a rate of one batch every three months, the recruitment of sailors was also progressing smoothly, and the extermination of the large number of pirates along the coast was also going well, and it was expected that by the end of the year, Qian would definitely be able to complete the control of all sea areas.
One is to exterminate the pirates in order to prevent them from suddenly mischieving when they are fighting with the Great Song Sailors, and the second is to prevent them from taking the opportunity to become bigger when they are fighting with the Great Song Sailors.
The occupation of Xiaoliuqiu was simpler than expected, and the population of several islands was only 30,000, and after a drum, all the islanders of Xiaoliuqiu were captured as slaves, and then built a supply base there according to Zhang San's request.
In addition to planting grain and vegetables, it is necessary to reserve fresh water, build a dock, and have relevant sailors' rest and entertainment facilities in the dock area.
However, Xiaoliuqiu was not the main direction of attack in the next stage, so Zhang San did not ask them to focus on construction, leaving plenty of time for a year and a half, and after calculation, the distribution of land on several islands there was more favorable than that of Ryukyu, reaching 20 mu per capita, in order to attract and retain immigrants.
Zhang San is now just waiting for Lin Chong to go directly to Liangshan after being assigned, and then deal with the affairs of Shandong, but when Gongsun Sheng left, he heard about the conflict between Lin Chong and Gao Yanei, and he suggested that Zhang San leave early.
The reason is also very simple, Lin Chong's character is relatively pedantic, coupled with Zhou Tong's entrustment before leaving, so he will not rebel against the court unless he has to, and with his dirty character, Lin Chong will definitely be unlucky.
So the problem is, as Lin Chong's friend and relative, if Zhang San, who is in a high position, encounters a conflict between Lin Chong and Gao Yu, it is impossible not to help, so after helping, if he succeeds, then Lin Chong can continue to be an official, which is not good for Zhang San.
But in case Zhang San was succeeded by Gao Yu after helping, then it would not only be a huge blow to Zhang San's reputation, but also face a problem, Lin Chong suffered Zhang San or not? Therefore, it is better for Zhang San to take the opportunity to leave Tokyo and leave enough manpower to pay attention to the development of the situation.
Zhang San is still quite enthusiastic about being able to participate in the plot, especially Lin Chong's paragraph, but Zhang San also knows that no matter what he thinks, he can't be as willful as before, and in desperation, Zhang San left Beijing again in the name of inspecting newspapers around the world.
Before leaving, it was indispensable to have a few drinks with Lu Zhishen and Lin Chong, and before leaving, Zhang San repeatedly asked Lin Chong to be careful of Gao Yu's use of tricks to frame him, Lin Chong said that he knew, and when he left, Zhang San told him to go to Zhuangzi for help if something happened, and the people in Zhuangzi would help him arrange it.
Zhang San, just in case, specially ordered Lin Chong's news to be reported to Shandong urgently, Zhang San galloped all the way to Shandong, and first went to the vicinity of Weishan Lake to see the construction of several large farms, which will be used as an important supply point and logistics base, so Zhang San wanted to mention the chess pieces.
In addition to growing their own grain, these Zhuangzi will secretly build grain depots to buy and store a certain amount of grain, and there will be several powerful pirates on Weishan Lake.
Zhuangzi has only been in operation for less than a year, so the progress of infrastructure is not very fast, although there has been a continuous injection of funds in the past six months, but after all, Shandong needs too many places to use money, and there are not many here.
Fortunately, these strongholds are secretly operated, as long as they can prevent the sneak attack of bandits and water thieves, it is enough, after that, Zhang San transferred to Taishan County, because now the Grand Canal to Beiping has not yet begun, so the defense line to occupy Shandong Zhang San intends to take Shandong and the Yellow River as the line.
The scope of this place is not small, because after the Yellow River flows north, one-third of Hebei also becomes east of the Yellow River, so in this way, Zhang San may get a little more population and land.
The Taishan area is conducive to Tibetan troops, but this also requires sufficient logistics support, of course, these things have more than two years of preparation time, so you can take your time, Zhang Sanyi went north to check the geography of the entire reserve defense line, until he walked to the Yellow River, and checked the situation of the Yellow River-class warships before it was over.
In addition to arranging defenses along the river, the most important thing is to have powerful warships patrolling, the river is different from the sea, and the speed advantage may not form an absolute advantage in the river, so the river warships should be more and stronger than whom.
And Zhang San did not have much advantage on the Yellow River, because the upper reaches were all prosperous areas of the Great Song Dynasty, and even the sailors of the Yangtze River of the Great Song Dynasty could reach Bianliang through the canal, and then reach the Yellow River through the Bianhe River, so Zhang San had to prepare a strong enough sailor here to deal with possible threats.
In addition to the naval division's warships, Zhang San also prepared a big killing weapon, that is, a bronze cannon, so Zhang San had to choose an advantageous location here to build a fort, at least in the next two or three years, the infrastructure of the fort should be completed.
The final location was chosen at a bend in the Yellow River, where the Yellow River flowed through the Xiaowu Mountains and began to turn northward, a sharp turn in which all ships had to reduce their speed if they wanted to pass, which was very conducive to the aiming of the artillery.
The cannon and the Tiesuo Town River are enough to block the attack of the Great Song Dynasty Water Division, so Zhang San has to buy a lot of land near this sharp turn, and build market towns and ferries on both sides, and the next step is to build the foundation part of the Tiesuo Henghe in the name of building the Iron Chain Bridge.
However, the Iron Chain Bridge is not just false propaganda, think about the passing ships, the bottom has to deal with the iron cable, and there are archers' blows on it, this kind of three-dimensional damage can definitely make the Song army suffer a lot.
This line of defense is very important, if this place is breached, then Zhang San's entire Hebei will face the threat of the Great Song Water Division, and as long as he holds here, Zhang San will be able to control this section of the river downstream and be invincible.
