Yezir inspected the island of God's city for only half a day. It's not that there is nothing to see on God's City Island, but God's City Island is located in the sea, once the Huaidong Navy warships smell the fishy smell and attack, and the Emperor of Heaven and a cadre of princes and ministers are trapped on the island, this joke will be bigger.

It was also Yezier's repeated insistence that Yejiduodi and Nahe Xiongqi reluctantly agreed that he would lead a group of princes and ministers to visit Huangcheng Island. However, once the navy escorted the Emperor of the Mandate of Heaven and the princes and ministers to the sea, how could the movement be small?

Unable to hide Huaidong's secret room in Dengzhou, in order to prevent the news from spreading out to attract Huaidong warships to attack, after arriving on the island, Ye Ji Duodi and Nahe Xiongqi repeatedly urged the Emperor of Heaven to leave the island.

Ye Zier looked up at the sky, and called Ye Ji Duodi, Nahe Xiongqi and other places to be impatient, and said, "Go to Iron Mountain!" ”

Nahe Xiongqi and Ye Ji Duodi glanced at each other, and saw that the Emperor's order was firm, and the other princes and ministers probably knew that dissuasion was useless, so they had no intention of dissuading, so he could only make arrangements according to his orders.

The safety of the sea trip is not to say how many escort troops are needed, but the journey should be fast, so that the Huaidong Navy warship formation can not capture the fighter plane - Ye Zier got up to go to Tieshan, and Na Hexiongqi arranged it in half an hour, sailed across the sea, and sailed into Tieshan Port when it was about to be dusk.

Tieshan is also known as Tiemenshan Island, which is actually two and a half outlying islands close to the cliff bank on the inner side of Liaodong Jian, and when the tide is shallow, the mud bed will be exposed. The north and south Tiemen Mountains look at each other across the water, and surround a piece of water area seven or eight miles deep, and the headland stone at the entrance of the water mouth is opposite, the mouth is only four miles wide, and on the water mouth of four miles wide, there is a small cape island called Caotuozi.

Nahe Xiongqi chose Tieshan to build the northern end of the sea defense line, which is to fancy the terrain that Tieshan seems to be a natural sea city and is very conducive to defense, while the eastern wing of Tieshan is the old dragon ridge that traverses the entire Liaodong Jian, the terrain is majestic and steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack; The northern foot of Laolongling is the Jianjinzhou City in eastern Liaodong.

The Northern Yan deployed a water infantry horse army in Liaodongjian, with a total of more than 20,000 elites; From Jinzhou City to Tieshanzhai, the walled cities are connected, using the topography of Liaodong Jianjian, doing its best to be able to do things that are dangerous and far-reaching, shaped like a swimming dragon, and dangerous like a deep prison.

From the eleventh year of Chongguan, the most important government-run shipyard in Beiyan was also moved to Tieshan three years after Yongxing.

Inspecting the navy, Yezir can see the situation of the navy going to sea in Dengzhou on the other side, and there is no need to make a special trip across the sea to Jinzhou; He was going to see the Iron Mountain Shipyard.

Beiyan Shipbuilding, Xing Chongguan 11 years, before and after nine years after three periods of exhibition.

In the eleventh year of Chongguan, Beiyan forcibly recruited more than 1,000 craftsmen from Goryeo, set up a shipyard and a naval army.

The original boat yard was built in the Qingbao River, an inland river on the north side of Jinzhou City, in order to block the estuary at any time and prevent the invasion of the Dengzhou Navy Division and the Huaidong Navy at that time. The depth of Liaodongjian ranges from tens of miles to more than 100 miles, just such a little depth, naturally can not breed a deep and wide stream, the shallow mouth of the Qingbao River boat yard is narrow, and it is impossible to build a big boat.

Although the early shipbuilding of Beiyan did not give it the ability to indirectly form a naval force to compete with the Dengzhou naval division at that time, it also laid a certain foundation for the construction of the Beiyan shipbuilding and naval army. {}

After the Qingzhou War, the Northern Yan controlled most of Shandong, especially Chen Zhihu's plan to transfer the tiger away from the mountain with the cooperation of Liu Yefei, lured the main force of the Dengzhou Naval Division to the land to encircle, and after surrendering to the Dengzhou Naval Division of nearly 10,000 people, the Northern Yan really had the conditions to set up a naval army.

Ye Zier first used Chen Zhihu to lead the naval army, and used the rebel general Liu Yuanlong, who killed the main general Zhao Zhen to coerce the people to surrender to Yan, as the deputy governor, and was actually in charge of the construction of the naval army; After that, he used Nahexiong Qi to govern the defense of Qing, Deng, and Jin.

In addition to building a sea defense line, Nahe Xiongqi moved Yuan Yue's shipwrights and shipbuilding equipment in Denglai Future and his evacuation to Liaodong, and built a new shipyard in Tieshan.

After the relocation and merger of Denglai shipwrights, there were as many as 4,000 craftsmen in the Tieshan Shipyard, who could build a watertight cabin ship of 2,000 stones, and had almost completely mastered the shipbuilding technology of the northern part of the world.

When the world of the south ship north car; It is precisely where the demand lies, so that the north is good at making cars, while the south is good at shipbuilding. That is, Goryeo faces the sea, but it is blocked by pirate forces, trapped in the near sea and cannot sail far, and is not good at building large ships.

With the inheritance of shipbuilding in the north and Goryeo, the Tieshan Shipyard was able to successfully build a 2,000-stone watertight cabin ship in just two or three years after its completion, although it is far from being comparable to Huaidong, but its performance is already quite good.

Lin Jian appointed Sun Dalu, who was born as a blacksmith, as a supervisor in Chongzhou, which caused a storm in the city, and more than ten years earlier, Ye Ji'er first ascended the throne of Khan, and promulgated the "Edict of Seeking Talents" in Liaodong, claiming that "there is no restriction on peddlers and pawns, subordinate to farmers, and all those who have a skill, and who dedicate themselves to the yafu, are all awarded officials" - speaking of which, Beiyan attaches importance to craftsmanship, pragmatism and innovation, and is to be earlier than Huaidong.

It arose in Liaodong and has its own advantages, which is not accidental. If it weren't for the birth of Huaidong, the Yuanyue royal court, which was weak and full of internal contradictions, would have been difficult to stop the Northern Yan from encroaching on the Central Plains.

The third exhibition of the Beiyan Shipbuilding is inseparable from the Battle of Jingxiang.

Although the Battle of Jingxiang and the Northern Yan were defeated, and nearly 300,000 soldiers and horses were lost, it was not all for nothing. In the Battle of Jingxiang, the main gain of Northern Yan was to get nearly 20,000 southern craftsmen from the luxury family.

These craftsmen, almost after the Nanyang War, successively moved north and merged into the government-run workshops controlled by the Northern Yan, among which nearly 3,000 shipbuilding craftsmen who were in the most scarce place in the Northern Yan brought all the shipbuilding technology mastered by the luxury family to the Tieshan Shipyard after moving to Jinzhou.

At this time, I learned that the generals of Beiyan had a deeper understanding of the gap between the shipbuilding technology of the north and the south. After the merger of the luxury craftsmen, the Iron Mountain Shipyard quickly became capable of building large sea ships, and at the beginning of the year, it began to build six large ships of 5,000 stone at the same time.

The defeat in the Battle of Jingxiang forced the Northern Yan to shift its strategic focus to the Eastern Front, changing its strategic offensive to strategic defense. The strategic focus shifted to the Eastern Front, and the situation changed from offensive to defensive, and the naval army was a link that Beiyan had to strengthen.

If the Huaidong warships could not be blocked outside the Bohai Sea, the Northern Yan's defense on the eastern front would be doubled, and it would be doubly laborious, just like the luxury family in eastern Fujian to gradually encroach on the Huaidong naval division. Northern Yan can make the southeast of Shandong and the entire southeast half of the Shandong Peninsula become remnants, and Huaidong is in possession, but it cannot turn the swallow thistle, western Liaoning, and eastern Liaodong areas of the Bohai Sea into remnants!

No matter how impregnable the simple Daoyu Village, Miaoshan Island, Huangcheng Island and Tieshan Village are, without the cooperation of a naval army above Shuihuai and the ability to fight in the coastal waters, there is no way to form a coastal defense line.

Ye Zier did not expect to build a naval army that could compete with the Huaidong Navy in the East China Sea in a short period of time, it was impossible, but it was not impossible for the naval warships to block the Huaidong Naval Army warships outside the Bohai Sea by relying on Daoyu Village, Miaoshan Island, Huangcheng Island and Tieshan Village.

This tactic is the same as that of fighting in the city in land warfare.

Simply fighting warships on the sea, but not Huaidong, that warship can still do it by relying on the steep islands with both combat readiness and controlling the sea area thirty or forty miles deep.

Of course, in front of the Huaidong Naval Army, it is definitely not a simple matter to build a naval army that is not far from each other and above the level - everyone walks into the heavily guarded gate of the Tieshan Shipyard, and is faced with a giant ship with half of the ship board removed, revealing the ribs and keel.

Ye Ji Baishi looked at it and was secretly frightened, thinking: It turns out that the rumors are true, that He Xiongqi is really this ship dismantled and placed in the open space of the shipyard?

This is a Jinhai-class warship built by the Chongzhou Shipyard, which was purchased from the Hojo clan by Nahe Xiongqi with heavy capital and several turnovers; And the Hojo clan got this warship, and it was snatched from the Irie clan.

The Irie clan succumbed to the Hojo clan's coercion and transferred the Tsukai-class warships sold to them by Huaidong to the Hojo clan, and falsely claimed that they had run aground and sank, which was an important reason why Lin Jian finally gave up the Irie clan, acquiesced in the Saga clan, and Omi carved up the Irie clan.

Adou who can't be supported, Lin Tie won't help him, Lin Tie needs in the Haidong region at this time, or some forces that can be supported.

This warship is indeed the epitome of Huaidong's highest shipbuilding technology, just looking at the huge skeleton cast in fine iron, the black metallic luster, which is daunting - Huaidong can also be invincible with this kind of extremely strong warship with the turbulent sea to indirectly ram the enemy ship.

How can it not be surprising that the ship had accidentally touched the reef to avoid the wind and waves before sailing into the Iron Mountain Yard, but only one of the thirteen watertight cabins had been destroyed, so that it did not interfere with the voyage?

Such a warship, which was brought with great painstaking efforts, cost tens of thousands of taels of gold and silver, and was not incorporated into the navy, but asked Nahe Xiongqi to dissect half of it and placed it in the open space of the Tieshan Shipyard, many people were puzzled, and their faces were quite ugly.

Ye Zier stepped forward, stretched out his hand to touch the cold fine iron shipbone, and looked at the person standing behind Na He Xiongqi: "Su Tingzhan, is this the iron bone ship in Huaidong?" ”

In the Battle of Jingxiang, Su Tingzhan fled without a fight, and Ye Zier finally not only punished him, but also knighted Gaizhou Bo, transferred him to Yanjing to consult on the affairs of the navy, and intended to use him to supervise the navy.

Su Tingzhan didn't know that Huaidong was strong and invincible, but the world is so big, where is there a place for him?

Su Tingzhan didn't know that Huaidong was strong and invincible, but the world is so big, where is there a place for him?

Although Haowenzhuang instructed them to go northwest and leave this non-place, the northwest is also a bloody place, so how can weak foreign clans intervene? Luxury Yuan obeyed the will of Luxury Wenzhuang, insisted on not daring to leave Guanzhong, and moved to Tianshui as a general, Su Tingzhan thought twice, and finally chose to enter Yanjing to meet the Emperor of Heaven.

Su Tingzhan stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, this is indeed the Huaidong Iron Bone Ship. ”

"The people of the Eastern Fujian Sea have been going to the sea for generations, and the skill of shipbuilding should not be bad, but you should talk about it, what kind of character is Lin Tie, who actually thought of casting a ship bone with fine iron?" Yezir asked the generals with his hands in his hand.

Zhang Xie secretly thought in his heart, what kind of mentality did Chen Xiyan have back then, so that he would call Lin Jian a swineherd? He didn't believe that with Chen Xiyan's eyesight, he really started to look away.

Su Tingzhan hid his words and did not say: Huaidong covered the chariot with iron plates in the Battle of Jingxiang and became an invincible ironclad chariot on the battlefield; According to this, Huaidong can even be clothed with iron armor on the warship. How can you compete with the Huaidong warships at sea then? He hid his words and didn't say anything, not for anything else, but for fear of undermining the confidence of the Northern Yan generals even more.

Yezir asked Nakh Xiongqi: "Have you asked the craftsman to estimate how much iron this ship consumed?" ”

"Roughly estimated," said Na He Xiongqi, "only the ship bones consume refined iron, which should be more than 120,000 catties......"

As soon as Na He Xiongqi said this, many people present gasped.

Refined iron is comparable to the price of copper, 120,000 catties of refined iron is worth 20,000 taels of silver, this ship was brought from the hands of the Hojo clan, and it cost tens of thousands of taels of silver, which is really not wronged at all - the iron yard controlled by Beiyan produces 100,000 catties of refined iron a year, and nothing else is done, all of it is used to build ships, and it can't be built in a year!

In Huaidong, the shipyards of Chongzhou, Mingzhou and Jiangning, Jinhai-class merchant ships and warships can build 40 ships a year; Lin Zhengjun-class warships and merchant ships with larger hulls can build ten ships a year......

Even if only one-third of these ships are iron-boned ships, the consumption of fine iron is very likely to be as high as three million catties.

Even if only one-third of these ships are iron-boned ships, the consumption of fine iron is very likely to be as high as three million catties.

Yezier entrusted Nahe Xiongqi to set up in Dengzhou, specializing in collecting all kinds of information in Huaidong, Xijian Temple, saying that Huaidong's annual iron output exceeded 30 million catties, and when he kept looking for iron mines to set up a field, all the princes in Yanjing City were disdainful, thinking that under the manipulation of Nahe Xiongqi, the spy of Xijian Temple was exaggerated, but after several mutual tests, the truth was really unacceptable.

"It's good for Xiongqi to disassemble this ship and put it here, but it's not good enough, it should be placed in front of the Jinluan Palace, and the princes and ministers of Dayan should all open their eyes and take a look!" The era of swallows riding ten thousand horses and being invincible in the world has passed, and don't think that if you still occupy half of the country, you will have no worries about it-if you don't wake me up, it will be too late! Yezier spoke word by word, and the words seemed to smash into the hearts of the princes and ministers present, but after he said these words, he also seemed to exhaust all the strength of his body, coughed uncontrollably, and bowed his back like a sea shrimp. Concubine Yu was busy helping him and relieving his back, but looking at the iron boat bones that happened behind him, she couldn't help but think: What kind of man is Lin Lian, who makes King Khan so jealous?

She married Yezir as a concubine at the age of fourteen, and it has been fifteen years since then. In her eyes, Yezier is the hero who is unmatched in the world and can dominate the world, but the defeat in the battle of Jingxiang made her realize that the man who was once called a swineherd to the world may be stronger.
