In the static hall, after listening to Sanniang's words, all the generals were boiling, Li Jun continued: "Now there are more than 1,000 large and small warships in my sea fleet, and all the sea ships are pointed and pointed, and these icebreaker ships can also be transformed from the current warships, so it is not complicated, at this moment there are more than 30 icebreaker ships, and there are more than 50 small boats. Merchant ships with equipment should also be more prepared. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Shu Neilin rushed out of the squad to report: "These days have been repeatedly deduced, according to the news sent back by the Zheng Ying brothers in Yanjing, the Jin army besieged the city with a total of about 110,000 horses, and our army went to meet it, not to repel the Jin army, just need to break the siege, you can pick up the Zheng Ying brothers and others." Therefore, after repeated planning by the high command, the number of troops dispatched on this trip should be between 20,000 and 30,000, of which the cavalry should be about 8,000. ”

When Li Jun heard this, he pondered and calculated, and said when he was young: "Even if you count 30,000 horses, including 8,000 cavalry, 30,000 people and at least 10,000 war horses will be transported, and the necessary grain, grass, equipment, and military supplies will be used for three months, and it is estimated that there will be more than 600 merchant ships, 300 ships to carry soldiers, each ship will carry 100 people, 200 ships will be used to transport horses, each ship will transport 50 war horses, and the other 100 ships will transport grain, grass, equipment, and military supplies. If I have 300 large and small warships to escort me, I will have a large fleet of 900 ships. ”

Sanniang waved her hand and said, "There are not so many ships, now the Jin Guonu really has any navy?" There is no need to use 300 warships to escort it, so a hundred large and small warships will be dispatched for icebreaking, artillery battles and escorts, and another 200 warships will also carry troops, and the scale of merchant ships will be reduced to more than 400, and a total of 700 ships will be dispatched north! The number of soldiers and horses is reduced to 20,000, and there is no need to go as much as 30,000, and the cavalry is reduced to 5,000, and the 700 warships must be empty to pick up people. ”

Li Jun bowed and said: "What the lord is concerned about is that I forgot to pick people up, this Jurchen Jin Kingdom really doesn't have any naval warships, I'm too careful, on the sea in the northern countries, there are only some sea ships in Goryeo and Fusang, but they are not the opponents of our warships." ”

Then Lin Chong said: "I stayed behind on several expeditions, and this time I asked to go to the north, and I will meet the Jurchen Jin army for a while." Sanniang smiled slightly: "Senior brother, please Ying, naturally go, but this time, I have been idle for a long time, and I also want to go to the sea and go together." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone exclaimed, and Gongsun Sheng stood up and said, "The lord is pregnant with Liujia, how can he move lightly?" Lin Jiaotou is also a general who stands alone, he can go as the commander, and the poor road will also go with him, and he will not dare to work for the lord. Lu Junyi also persuaded: "The sea road is dangerous and dangerous, if the lord is not pregnant, he will naturally go, but this trip must not go!" "All the generals came together to persuade.

Sanniang waved her hand, signaling the generals to be quiet, and then said: "From Laizhou Port to the sea off Yanjing, the sea journey is only a few days, and the navy goes to Yanjing for trade off the coast, this sea route is familiar, and there is no danger." Now the navy has built a large 3,000-material iron-walled ploughshare pointed bottom sea ship, which is my boat, the big ship is about 80 zhang long and more than 50 zhang wide. Besides, when I go to the open sea, I will only stay on the ship and never go ashore, which is all right. ”

Lu Junyi frowned and said: "It's still impossible, there is nothing on the sea boat, and the lord is the firstborn, how can he ignore his body?" Sanniang smiled slightly and said to Li Jun: "How is the furnishings of that ship, tell everyone." ”

Li Jun had no choice but to say: "That ship was completed and launched last month, with 3,000 materials, which is twice as large as the 1,500 warships of the main force in our army, and it is equipped with 281 crew members, five bronze 5,000-jin cannons, and 30 small cannons of 3,000-jin, 1,000-jin, and 800-jin, all of which are distributed on both sides. Its upper cabins are several feet from the water, the largest cabin is enough to have the size of this room, and the rest of the cabins are dozens, and the interior layout is magnificent. ”

Sanniang said with a smile: "Hear it, the ship will be ready in a month, just waiting for me to take it, and now this large fleet is transporting military horses, this kind of large-scale landing operation is the first time, I will definitely go, otherwise there is any mistake, I can't rest assured." ”

Lu Junyi, Gongsun Sheng and others all glanced at each other, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in their hearts, thinking: "The lord is going to be a mother, and he has such a childish heart, and the big sea boat is made in the moon, so she wants to take a ride, but she was persuaded to go back, this trip has a chance, it seems that she has to go." ”

The generals couldn't persuade him, and finally Lu Junyi had to say: "Since this is the case, please ask Mr. Gongsun to go with me, and I will guard Jeju with Zhu Junshi, Chen Tongzhi, and Zhang Taishou." But when the lord goes, he must not go ashore, and he also asks Mr. Gongsun and Lin Jiaotou to supervise more. If the lord doesn't agree, I'll stop here. All the generals echoed together, and Sanniang had no choice but to respond.

When the plan was agreed, Lin Chong immediately ordered the generals, and sent Qin Ming, Zhang Qing, Dong Ping, and Hua Rong to be the vanguard of the cavalry, commanding 5,000 elite cavalry, including 2,000 elite queen heavy dragoons and 3,000 elite light hussars. Yang Tinghe, Fei Song, Han Bai, and Han Song were the generals of the former army infantry army, and the commander of the 3,000 barbarian infantry army was the front. On the left flank, there are three generals Yang Zhiling, Wang Xiaohu, Ding Desun, and Gong Wang, with a total of 3,000 men and horses, and a thousand foot armor heavy infantry troops and 2,000 divine arm archers. On the right flank, there are three generals of Liu Tang and Zheng Tianshou, Li Zhong and Zhou Tong, with a general of 3,000 men and horses, and a thousand foot armor heavy infantry troops and 2,000 divine arm archers.

The Chinese army has Lin Chong personally commanded, and the deputy generals under his command are Mu Hong, Xu Ning, Zhu Tong, and Lei Heng, who lead 6,000 men and horses, including 3,000 heavy infantry troops, 2,000 Huanghua bows and divine arm archers, and Lu Fang and Guo Sheng lead 1,000 guards to protect the Chinese army.

In addition, Ling Zhen commanded the former generals Bian Xiang, Ye Qing, and Tang Bin under the command of Wang Qing, commanded 2,000 firearms battalions and horses, carried 50 large and small artillery, 5,000 thunder rockets, and countless other thunderbolts and mines. In the rear army, Li Ying led Ma Lin and Ou Peng, who led 3,000 infantry troops, specializing in taking care of grain, grass, equipment and military supplies.

The female generals Sun Erniang and Qiong Ying led the 300 female battalion soldiers and horses to be Sanniang's personal guards, and Gongsun Sheng led Qiao Daoqing and the divine horse Ma Ling to protect the wings of the Chinese army. Cui Jing also went out with him this time, so he joined the army for the Chinese army.

At the moment, Li Jun, Zhang Heng, and Zhang Shun rushed back to Laizhou Port to prepare ships and sailors, and only waited for the army to arrive in Laizhou before they could load the ships and go to sea.

In the sixth year of Xuanhe of the Great Song Dynasty, on November 25, the army was fully prepared, Sanniang personally led the 20,000 army to sacrifice the flag, the front and the left and right and the rear armies were protected, Sanniang took a luxury carriage and horse drawn by sixteen horses, and the left and right female battalions guarded, and the army went to Laizhou Port.

After arriving at Laizhou Port, the generals and Li Jun and other admirals met and arranged the loading of the ship, that is, the grain and grass, equipment, artillery, military quartermasters, and war horses were loaded into the ship in turn, and the personnel finally boarded the ship.

Rao was so orderly that it took three days for the entire grain and grass to be loaded on the ship, and the merchant ships loaded with grain, grass and military supplies first went to the port to anchor and wait, and then began to load the war horses. On the 13 wharves of the entire Laizhou Port, there are people and soldiers coming and going, and they are all busy loading ships.

Sanniang sat in the carriage and looked at the top of the house, and sighed: "Li Juncai, such complicated things are arranged so effectively. After seeing it, Gongsun Sheng also sighed: "Sure enough, things at sea are different from those on land, and only people like Li Jun can arrange them in such an orderly manner." Thinking that although the port of Laizhou was vast, with thirteen wharves, there were too many ships, and they could only be shipped in batches, he first filled all the ships of the naval division, drove out to the open sea to anchor and wait, vacated the ship's space, first loaded grain, grass, military supplies and other dead things, and then loaded one, drove one, and added another, and the whole port seemed to be busy but not chaotic. ”

While speaking, Li Jun came with Tong Wei Tong Meng, and after meeting Sanniang, he said: "Lord, start to ship war horses today, and it is estimated that you can start to load soldiers tomorrow, and the soldiers estimate that they can be loaded in a day and a half, and the lord will enter the port the day after tomorrow by boat, and tomorrow I will ask the lord to pack up all the people, and the lord will finally get on the ship." ”

Sanniang was overjoyed and said: "I can finally see my ship, by the way, I taught you to paint the name of the ship on the last trip, and it is called Liqing, has it been done?" Li Jun said: "The name of the Liqing is painted on both sides of the bow, and it has been properly placed, and the lord remembers the deceased, which is really admirable." Sanniang sighed faintly: "Liqing always died for me. ”

Sure enough, two days later, on the third day, early in the morning, after the female battalion of Sanniang Zhongjun and others were all packed, they came to the largest wharf, only to see that the 1,500 large ships in front of them loaded with soldiers left one after another, and the last warship that entered the port was more than twice the size of the previous warship.

The ordinary 1,500 warships have already amazed all the female battalion generals, and when they saw the Liqing slowly sailing into the harbor at this moment, everyone was amazed. Only because of this moment navigation is not yet developed, the sail ship of 3,000 materials is extremely rare, these 3,000 materials of the warship according to the later era of navigation sails, 3,000 materials is a 2,000-ton sail warship, at this time in the Song Dynasty, it is definitely a giant ship.

Gongsun Sheng, Qiao Daoqing, and Ma Ling were also dumbfounded, and Qiao Daoqing sighed: "When have I seen such a giant ship in the inland? This ship is 80 feet long. And its sail is so huge that even the ropes on it are as thick as a man's arm, it is really a big ship. Ma Ling also sighed: "Such a big ship, isn't it an unsinkable ship?" ”

Sun Erniang and Qiong Ying also sighed: "Good girl, such a big ship, you can run horses on it." Such a big ship, of course, will not sink. ”

Sanniang smiled and said: "There is no unsinkable ship in this world, only be careful after going to sea." It's winter, the north wind is blowing over the sea, and there are no typhoons, so this trip should be thrilling. ”(。 )
