Chapter 717: The Great Husband Should Ride the Wind and Waves
After sweeping away the Jianghuai army on the shore, the Zhao army fleet immediately entered the vicinity of Qishan Port.
When the Zhao Junhai ship was about to land, it encountered a problem, the first reason was the low tide, and the second reason was that the battleship was not suitable.
At present, more than half of the warships in the Zhao fleet are newly built large, sharp-bottomed, wide-headed seafaring ships imitating the Silla warships. These sea ships with sharp bottoms and wide heads are all new ships built by Zhao Jun in the past two years, and they have changed from the flat-bottomed square-headed sand ships in the past.
Such a new type of sea warship is faster than the square-headed and square-tipped sand ships that the original Zhao army received from the old ships of the Sui army, and the flat-bottomed sand ships are faster at sea and more suitable for ocean voyages. In order to go to sea, it is necessary to sacrifice the loading capacity and install a batch of water plates and a flat basket to keep the hull stable.
Therefore, the ability of the spire to sail in the ocean, whether it is degree or capacity, is far higher than that.
As for why the Han people have been using sand boats instead of sharp-bottomed sea ships in the Sui and Tang dynasties, it is not because we can't build them, but because the market determines the demand. Because the sand boat has the advantage that it can be moored everywhere, even on the beach. The sand boat can be used both on the sea and on the river, and a boat can be used for two purposes, and at that time, for the Han people, canals, inland waterway shipping and offshore shipping were the top priorities.
For the Sui and Tang dynasties, where there was little demand for ocean-going trade, sand boats were sufficient, but by the Song and Yuan dynasties, ocean-going trade surged, and it was only then that wide ships with sharp bottoms began to be promoted.
However, in this time and space, the history of Chinese shipbuilding changed because of Li Chongjiu's decision. The emperor said that I wanted to deter Goguryeo. Silla, Baekje and Wa Kingdom. If the small country of Fanbang is disobedient, I will send a fleet to teach him a lesson. So the Great Zhao ship was a craftsman. In order to meet the needs of the emperor, he imitated the Silla ships, and built 30 new warships last year, 30 more this year, and 50 more next year.
This time, Li Chongjiu received a secret report that Du Fuwei was going to tear up the agreement with him and send troops to attack Zhao Guoshan Shandong.
Li Chongjiu was furious at the moment, and he had already ordered Cheng Mingzhen to lead the inland river division to reinforce Luoyang along the Yongji Canal. At the same time, he also released smoke bombs, saying that he had led the main army south, but in fact, he led the army to be stationed in Youjing.
Li Chongjiu's original plan was to deal with the Turks, and according to the habits of the Turks, once they heard that Li Chongjiu's army had left Youjing, they would definitely attack and attack the back. This time, Li Chongjiu kept his main army in Youjing, and combined with the army in the north, he could give the Turks a 'surprise' at any time.
But this time the Turks did not come. Li Chongjiu never thought that on the grassland, the news that Chu Luo was seriously ill came.
Now the Turks are in chaos on their own, because every change of Turkic khanate contains blood and killing. This is also the law of the jungle on the grassland, the strong are respected, and the weak can only be eliminated. And this time, each of them has the hope of inheriting the Turkic Khan's special service children. Of course, they don't want to be losers, so they are also secretly accumulating. Do you prepare people, and you have to fight to the death for the position of Khan in the future.
So Li Chongjiu not only did not wait for the Turkic army that came to the door with knives. On the contrary, Chu Luo's younger brother, two sons, and Princess Yicheng all sent envoys to Youjing, and even the little Khan Tuli came to Youjing in person, and he was extremely enthusiastic and called Li Chongjiu a brother.
It's all the same sentence over and over again, how about when I become a khan in the future, how about it...... If Zhao Guo can support me with an attitude at this time, how about it, how about it......
Well, Li Chongjiu can't help but feel that the people of the grassland people are not as upright as the legend says, and for the sake of interests, this change is too fast.
For these Turkic people who came to the door, Li Chongjiu, of course, wanted to return the favor to the other way. When the Turks took advantage of the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, didn't they adopt a strategy of separating the strong and combining the weak with the Han people? Well, so do I.
As long as it is the successor approved of Luo Khan, our Great Zhao will not approve of it, and we will support all other Turkic forces who come to Zhao to seek support. Anyway, I Li Chongjiu has this attitude, so you can slowly get it out of your own internal affairs.
In this way, as soon as the Turkic enemy is gone, the northern border of the Zhao army is safe, and Li Chongjiu is at peace in his heart. At this time, the news came that the main force of the Tang Army had crossed Pujin and attacked Hanoi. To be honest, Li Yuan's conspiracy was quite unexpected, but it was not too surprising to Li Chongjiu, who knew the news of the Tang Army's troops in advance.
At the beginning, Zhang Xuansu, Ji Chuan, and Yu Shinan, the three Chinese scholars, had countless war games with Li Chongjiu, which included the birth of this situation.
According to the original deduction, if Li Jiancheng led the main army to attack Hanoi, Li Chongjiu pretended to reinforce Luoyang from the Yongji Canal to the outside world, but in fact he led the main army, secretly went to Taiyuan, and after meeting with Wei Chigong's Xiaowei army, he attacked the Tang army's Hedong important land, cut off the back route of Li Jiancheng's army, and threatened Guanzhong.
Didn't you beat me Luoyang, I will beat you Chang'an, one city for another, if you don't agree, I will besiege Wei to save Zhao Zhizhi, forcing the Tang army to return to the division and fight a decisive battle with himself.
However, the plan still did not catch up with the change, at this time Ying Hefu led the cavalry to rob the Tang army of grain and grass, Li Jiancheng's main army fell into a dilemma, and on the other hand, Fu Wei wanted to tear up the agreement with himself and send troops to attack Zhao Shandong.
Li Chongjiu knew that Li Jiancheng, who did not have the support of military rations, would not dare to rashly engage in a decisive battle with his main force at this time, and would inevitably retreat from defense. Instead of fighting Li Tang at this time, it is better to fight Du Fuwei first, this vicious dog who wants to bite him at any time!
Break Du Fuwei first, get the money and grain of Jianghuai, and then go west to compete with Li Tang! In this way, the odds of victory are greater, and as long as Zhao Jun keeps Luoyang from losing, even if he loses a few cities, there is no problem.
But this is a two-front battle, two fists to fight people, there is also a certain risk, depending on either Luoyang falls earlier, or Du Fuwei is destroyed first.
However, Li Chongjiu had already decided to change his plan, and the Turkic civil strife gave Da Zhao a good opportunity, so stationed in Huaihuang, the heavy troops of Yuyi Second Town were liberated. Li Chongjiu had already ordered Wang Junkuo and Etuo to lead 30,000 grassland iron horsemen to the south from Huaihuang Town, to Bingzhou to join Yinghefu.
Try your best to drag the main force of Li Jiancheng's Tang army north of the Yellow River, and not let him cross the Yellow River from Heyang and attack Luoyang.
Guo Xiaoke led 20,000 horses from the Songmo Prefecture to cross the Huangshui River from the White Wolf Mountain to the north, and hunted only three or four hundred miles away from the Turkic Khan's Court. In this way, Zhao Guo expressed a deep concern about the change of Turkic internal affairs as a strategic partner of the Turks.
In the end, Li Chongjiu personally led the elite army of the Zhao army, took a boat from Youjing to the mouth of the Sancha River, and then changed to a sea boat at the mouth of the Sancha River, passed through Dengzhou to supply grain and fresh water, and then went south to reach the port of Qishan.
This new warship really sailed much faster than the sand ship at sea, and at this time it was advancing along the ocean current, and the battleship did not stop all the way, and arrived at the port of Qishan much faster than expected.
Although this new ship is good, but the problem is that the new warship is not as good as the sand ship to dock, and it is difficult to anchor and board 6, and the Qishan Port at this time is far from reaching the domineering throughput and loading capacity of Lianyungang in later generations. At this time, the Yellow River has not yet taken over Huai, and the sediment has not yet been silted, so most of the area of Lianyungang today is still sinking in the sea.
Therefore, Zhao Jun's new warship at sea sailed outside the port of Qishan, and because of the unknown water conditions, he did not dare to dock, and it would be bad if it ran aground.
So the generals of the Zhao army, Wang Mahan, Xue Wanche, and Wu Gu Nai, each led their men and horses to transfer from the big ship to a small boat in turn and landed at the port of Qishan.
Even Li Chongjiu went ashore immediately, he refused Ji Chuan's construction and landed on a sand boat in the fleet, but with Ji Chuan, Yu Shinan, Zhang Xuansu and other advisers and soldiers, more than 30 people, together with the flagship attached firewood boat, sailed to the port.
This is equivalent to the firewood boat of a modern lifeboat, only about a quarter the size of the flagship, in order to sail to the port quickly, Li Chongjiu's left and right attendants are all hands-on, pick up the oars to row.
And Li Chongjiu stood alone on the boat with his sword, looking into the distance, the wind was blowing, the sea water was splashing, and the corners of his mouth were full of salty taste.
The waves on the sea are rolling, Li Chongjiu is also with the ups and downs of the waves, can't help but hit the edge of the boat with the hilt of the sword, at this time the clouds above the sky are rolling, looking at the scene of a lot of wind and clouds, and on the sea under the cover of the sky, the waves are rolling, chasing the waves layer by layer, Li Chongjiu is on a small boat, his body settles with the ups and downs of the waves, one high and one low floating and sinking on the waves.
"The wind is blowing! Big waves! Presumably, the ancestors were also on the Hengjiang River, and the middle stream hit it! Li Chongjiu said while fencing on the edge of the boat.
Zhang Xuansu said on the side: "Back then, the ancestor tried his best to subdue the Central Plains but failed, and finally failed, how can his achievements be compared with today's majesty." ”
Li Chongjiu turned his head and said with a smile: "Are you worried that I will follow in the footsteps of my ancestors and become a prophecy when I go on an expedition this time?" I have never been worried about this, my husband is alive, when he is like a ship sailing on the sea, breaking through the waves, how can he be distracted by other things. I respect my ancestor because I admire his lofty ambition in the middle of the year, not because of his success or failure. ”
Zhang Xuansu heard the words and said: "Your Majesty is heroic, it is Weichen who has said a lot." ”
After Li Chongjiu finished speaking, the housekeeper on the boat immediately wrote on the boat.
In March of the second year of innovation, it was when Du Fuwei attacked Shandong, and the emperor led 100 large ships and more than 30,000 soldiers, floating to the sea to conquer. And on the ship, the emperor said that the ancestors were in the middle of the attack.
Zhang Xuansu, the Chinese scholar, persuaded the emperor that on the occasion of the war, why did he say bad luck.
Emperor Xuan Su said, when the husband is alive, he should take a boat to break the waves, be brave and diligent, and he can take care of others! (To be continued......)
