Chapter 14 Waiting for the Opportunity, the Navy Wants to Might

Time slipped away in a hurry, and in the blink of an eye, Zhao Lei had been in Guangzhou for half a year, and even the three of Mahati had been in the Great Song Navy for a few months. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info//, qΒ5.c0m\\

The addition of the elite navy of Sriwijaya greatly strengthened the combat effectiveness of the Great Song Navy, Zhao Lei scattered the navy of the Three Buddhas into various warships, with the old with the new, after a short period of training, the combat effectiveness of the Great Song Navy increased rapidly, the huge fleet and the large number of the navy, the navy of the Great Song Dynasty has begun to have the strength of the sea hegemon.

You must know that Zhao Lei is only a naval commander, and he is not qualified to accept Mahathi, an international friend who came to the Great Song Dynasty, and he is also not qualified to give Mahathi the three official positions for nothing, according to the regulations, Mahati should lead the Sriwijaya fleet to Bianjing, and worship the official Zhao Zhen, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, before he can serve under Zhao Lei, but because of the urgent situation in the South China Sea, The navy needs a veteran like Mahati to be trained, so Zhao Lei deliberately used an eight-hundred-mile expedited post to spread the news of Mahati and others' defection to the Great Song Dynasty to Bianjing, hoping that the imperial court could save Mahati and others the time it took to enter Beijing, and let the official Zhao Zhen send someone to announce the decree.

The calm and calm Navy Harbor is picturesque, and Zhao Lei's triple building ship flagship is quietly moored in the harbor.

"Another merchant ship has been ransacked by Ma Yi's navy, and those bastards are really looking for death by pretending to be pirates to loot merchant ships! My lord, when will we be able to teach Ma Yi's gang of pretending pirates a lesson? "In the study. Zhu Sheng, who was full of beard and upright personality, said loudly to Zhao Lei with an annoyed face.

"Another merchant ship has been ransacked, are there any casualties?" Zhao Lei heard Zhu Sheng's words and asked indifferently.

"Nope! And as usual, only the goods were stolen. There were no losses for people and ships! Zhu Sheng saw Zhao Lei's attitude, and replied with a slight stunned.

"It seems that Ma Yi still doesn't dare to offend Da Song too much! More than 40 merchant ships were ransacked, and there was not a single casualty, didn't those merchant ships resist! Yang Jinhua, who was beside Zhao Lei, raised his head and said suspiciously.

"When the hell are we going to be able to send troops against those Mayi Navy?" The capable Shi Qiang asked Zhao Lei straight to the point.

"Not busy! Although we now have an excuse to send troops, the art of war: know yourself and know your opponent, you will not be defeated in a hundred battles, the fleet sent by this officer is investigating the specific situation of the Ma Yi navy, and it is not too late to send troops when their news comes back! Zhao Lei waved his hand and said to Shi Qiang and Zhu Sheng, who were eager to try.

"Why wait. Now the navy has begun to have combat effectiveness under our training, although it is not as good as the navy of the Zhuyuan Empire and the Sriwijaya Empire, but it is much stronger than the weak guys of Ma Yi and Bo Ni, plus the Great Song Navy has many large ships and complete weapons. The Mayi Navy is not an opponent at all. Mahati took Haji and Dona to sit opposite Zhao Lei, and stammered in strange Chinese, saying that he had been working hard to learn Chinese in the past few months and wanted to integrate into the prosperous country of the Great Song Dynasty as soon as possible.

Zhao Lei saw that even Mahati was impatient to wait for the war to break out and make a contribution, and he knew that if he didn't explain it clearly. will leave a pimple in the hearts of his subordinates, and after pondering for a while, he decided to explain the plan he discussed with Su Xun. Thinking of this, Zhao Lei glanced at Su Xun, who was sitting there with the old god.

Su Xun and Zhao Lei are old partners, and they knew what to do when they saw Zhao Lei's eyes, and immediately said to the admiral sitting in a deep voice: "Generals! I know that the generals are not angry with Ma Yi for sacking my Great Song merchant ships, but Lord Zhao has already planned to use this time as an excuse for Ma Yi to loot my Great Song merchant ships and directly take down the entire Ma Yi, so we must be patient and wait for the spies sent to get enough information. In order to hit the blow and completely solve the worries. ”

Completely take down Ma Yi, Lord Zhao's appetite is too big! Hearing Su Xundi's words, all the people in the study who didn't know thought of it in shock at the same time.

"Lord Zhao! Although our Great Song Navy already has more than 200 warships and more than 30,000 navies, it is not difficult to defeat the Mayi Navy with these strengths, but if you want to occupy the entire Mayi, I am afraid it will be difficult to do it. When Pang Song heard Zhao Leidi's plan, he immediately felt inappropriate and retorted.

"That's not a problem! At the same time, the new army sent to Bianjing and the right Qianniu army of 50,000 horses and horses to escort a large number of supplies to Guangzhou, and now we are halfway through, as long as we figure out the military deployment of Ma Yi, and wait for the arrival of 50,000 horses of the new army and the right Qianniu army, we can immediately wave the army to attack Ma Yi, the navy is responsible for attacking the Ma Yi navy, and the new army and the right Qianniu army are responsible for attacking the capital of Ma Yi and sweeping away the remnants of various places. Zhao Lei heard Pang Song's rebuttal, smiled slightly, and said in a deep voice with confidence.

Thinking that Zhao Lei had already made arrangements for the battle against Ma Yi, the other generals in the study breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that there was nothing else to report, and retired from the study one by one.

"Fan Zhongyan, where did they go?" After seeing the admiral leave, and only Zhao Lei, Yang Jinhua, Xiao Ruoruo and Su Xun were left in the study, Zhao Lei asked Su Xun in a deep voice.

"Just arrived in Gangneung Province! You also know that they brought a lot of things, some of which were very heavy, even along the official road it would take three months, if it wasn't for us to bring all the large warships of the imperial court to Guangzhou, they could save another month's time. Su Xun said with a wry smile to Zhao Lei.

"So slow?" Zhao Lei frowned and asked.

"Brother Sanshi, you also know that each of the Shenwu cannons you let the new army weapons make weighs a thousand catties, and it is very inconvenient to transport!" After Su Xun followed Zhao Lei to Guangzhou, he knew that Zhao Lei Zhan's navy relied on the most, although he had not seen the appearance of the Shenwu cannon, but from Zhao Lei's mouth, he also heard that the Shenwu cannon was extraordinary, and said to Zhao Lei very much in anticipation.

To Su Xun's expectant gaze, Zhao Lei smiled proudly, he had already asked the craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty to study things such as artillery and muskets at the beginning of the establishment of the New Army, with the scientific and technological level of the Great Song Dynasty, these things were quickly studied, but they were far from the level expected by Zhao Lei.

Artillery and muskets are different from grenades and mines, which are only composed of gunpowder and iron lumps, with iron sand added to them at most, while artillery and muskets do not have high requirements for gunpowder and high requirements for other aspects.

Long before Zhao Lei came to the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty had a children's thing with a bamboo tube as a breech, and a primitive artillery such as a stone-throwing car.

However, the research of the Ordnance Institute was very disappointing to Zhao Lei, and the musket that was first researched was not as good as the strong bow and crossbow equipped by the Great Song Dynasty army in terms of range and power, mainly because the gunpowder of the Great Song Dynasty was not pure enough, and it contained a lot of sundries, which greatly reduced the explosive power of the gunpowder, and it could not make the bullet expected by Zhao Lei have a great range and lethality.

Although the research of the musket failed, the research of the artillery was very successful, although the power of gunpowder in the Great Song Dynasty was insufficient, but the quantity could replace the quality, the power of gunpowder was insufficient and could be replaced by more gunpowder, the musket was too small to hold too much gunpowder, but the artillery did not have this shortcoming, so the barrel was more than three meters long, the net weight was 1,700 catties, and the Shenwu artillery with ten catties of gunpowder could be projected to a solid shell weighing 30 catties to two thousand meters away.

In the early days of Shenwu artillery was manufactured, due to various reasons such as the uneven quality of the barrel, the Shenwu artillery often exploded after shooting, after several years of hard research by the craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty, this problem was finally solved, and only then began to produce this kind of artillery in large quantities, but the production of this kind of artillery is too consuming copper and iron, until now, it is only made more than 30 guns, and it is Zhao Lei to go to the navy 30 guns, as a secret weapon for hegemony in the South China Sea, and these artillery, it is Zhao Lei who has the confidence to defeat Ma Yi, Bo Ni, Sriwijaya also has the reliance on the hegemony of the South China Sea, such as the Empire, to dominate the South China Sea.

……

After hearing Zhao Lei's plan, the admirals of the Great Song Dynasty were ready to teach Ma Yi a lesson, and at the same time, they made military exploits to lay the foundation for future glory and wealth.

While the admirals were gearing up, Zhao Lei also sent people to listen closely to the every move of the Ma Yi Navy and the country, waiting for the best time to give them a deadly attack.

The new army led by Fan Zhongyan and the right Qianniu army led by An Jun, the general of the right Qianniu, under Zhao Lei's anxious waiting, escorted artillery, rocket vehicles and a large number of supporting rockets, strong bows and crossbows, catapults, bed crossbows and other military supplies, and also came to the port of Guangzhou, due to the inconvenient transportation of the naval port, temporarily stationed in the military camp near the city of Guangzhou.

The right Qianniu general An Jun is not a simple character, An Jun Zi Zhizhou, Chinese New Year's Eve is thirty and nine years old this year. Taiyuan people, born in the official Zhao Zhen's hidden residence with the generals, deeply trusted by the official Zhao Zhen, and Guo Chengyou, Zhang Zi, Xia Sui three Northern Song Dynasty generals and called the official Zhao Zhen around the four generals, not only civil and military, but also in the northern border town for many years, the military achievements are impressive, the prestige is far away, the most admired in his life is the second master of Guan Gongguan, not only learn Guan Gong to grow a long beard, but also make a good knife technique, in the border has the reputation of the long-haired Taibao.

An Jun's arrival made Zhao Lei a little apprehensive in his heart, such a fierce general was sent to Guangzhou by the official Zhao Zhen, did he mean to spy on Zhao Lei!

Just when Zhao Lei was about to communicate with An Jun, the opportunity he had been waiting for a long time to attack Ma Yi suddenly came.
