Chapter 332: A certain island nation is lying down again
The shipbuilding industry, which began to develop at the end of the Tang Dynasty and began to be officially carried forward in the Song Dynasty, was far behind the fleets of the West in the Ming Dynasty, although it was much inferior in terms of technology, but its potential and vitality were by no means comparable to any dynasty.
And this is exactly the best situation for Zhang Chen.
The Southern Song Dynasty was weak, but it retained a lot of talents, and even, because of the decline of national strength, for its own survival and other problems, it did better in technological innovation and other aspects.
This also made Zhang Chen take out the design drawings of a bunch of seagoing ships that were obviously hundreds of years older than this era, and the workers in the shipyard were not too surprised and puzzled.
The only doubt they have is what kind of manufacturing process should be used to make the big ship on Zhang Chen's drawings.
At this point, Zhang Chen had already prepared.
In fact, the drawings he took out were prepared in advance in the real world in order to enter the Rubik's Cube world.
The shipbuilding technology involved in this drawing was researched by Zhang Chen and a group of high-achieving students from the Department of History, and with these techniques, Zhang Chen took a lot of effort to find a group of shipbuilding students who knew how to make wooden boats, and asked them to refer to them together with students from the School of Fluid Dynamics, Meteorology, etc., so that they came up with these drawings.
Thanks to Bruster's strange appearance, otherwise, even if it takes decades, Zhang Chen would not want to get this qiē done.
With the drawings, Zhang Chen, who has been studying together on the side, is naturally interested in how to make it. It's quite clear.
But what he imagined was that the receptivity of this group of workers was even stronger than him!
"Well, I'm not a major, this kind of thing is quite normal!" Zhang Chen said comforting himself.
As soon as the arrangement was completed, Zhang Chen began to reorganize the army.
At this time, the army of the Southern Song Dynasty was already quite erosive, although it still had a large amount of combat effectiveness, but this combat power and the number of people were no longer proportional. There is a lot of consumption, but it is impossible to get the corresponding combat achievements. This is a great waste.
Although Zhao Yun said that he wanted to rectify the army, he was in his position, and it was impossible to offend too many people for this.
But Zhang Chen is different. If he is not convinced, he can cut it with a knife. Where is the need to take into account whether the other party will gather a crowd to rebel or something?
The result of this is: In less than three years, Zhang Chen had rectified the entire Southern Song Dynasty up and down, and the atmosphere was invigorated. Although the morale is not too high, it can be regarded as worthy of a battle.
In three years, the whole country was mobilized, and the shipyard finally built ten sea vessels.
The scale of these sea ships is not small, and they are equipped with red-coated cannons carefully prepared by Zhang Chen, which are extremely powerful.
"Your Majesty, it's time for me to practice my hands in the Great Song Navy." Zhang Chen said with a smile.
Zhao Yun has maintained himself well over the years, and he already looks like a big belly, white and fat, not at all as thin as he did three years ago.
But the dead silence in those eyes just showed that although he was in good health at this time, his spirit was already weakened to the extreme!
It has relative status, but no relative power.
There was enough hope, but once again he fell into deep despair.
How can ordinary people imagine and understand this kind of suffering?
"Where are you going?" Zhao Yun asked.
"Well, let's find a simpler opponent first, let's go to Dongying." Zhang Chen said.
Zhao Yun looked at him suspiciously, "That's my Great Song Dynasty's vassal country, it's very obedient......"
Although the national strength of the Song Dynasty was weak, it was also relatively speaking, although Japan, which was clothed with water, saw the high level of the rudder, but did not dare to covet the Great Song Dynasty.
But for Zhang Chen, this is not a reason not to make a move at all.
"It's just a subject country, it's not the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, I say fight, then fight!" Zhang Chen said categorically.
At this time, it was not the time of the early dynasty, but there were also a few officials in this hall, and they immediately rolled their eyes when they heard this.
Since you have already decided, you have nothing to do to tease this poor emperor!
After preparing for more than ten days, the army that had been trained for three years was quickly assembled, and the big ship was loaded and more than 20,000 people were loaded into it one by one.
Although Zhang Chen said that the righteousness was awe-inspiring, after all, this was an unrighteous teacher, so he did not make any big moves.
On the pier, the sea breeze whined, creating a strange aura in the sky.
The clear sky was obviously quite conducive to navigation, but the 20,000 soldiers on this ship all looked nervous, and a few of them were even more trembling.
After all, there has been no battle for many years, and there has been no victorious battle for many years.
For this group of people, ocean warfare seems a little too terrifying.
But Zhang Chen didn't care how scared they were.
"I have handed over all the things that need to be handed over to you, and I will ...... you in one word" Zhang Chen stood on the largest main ship, facing everyone, and said, "You have completely forgotten the so-called benevolence and righteousness for me, you are a group of soldiers, you are born to kill and conquer!" I'll give you three months to take the whole of Dongying for me! If you can't make it, see you here! ”
He snorted coldly, and the cold murderous aura instantly enveloped everyone.
A group of soldiers who had not been bloodied for many years, even shivered, looking at Zhang Chen's gaze, as if they were looking at a demon.
They had already experienced Zhang Chen's power, how could they not know that what he said was true?
However, at this time, there was no resentment in their hearts.
Yes, if you can't even conquer that small island country, what face do you have to live in this world?
With such a sharp weapon, with three years of training, and with the support of the entire Great Song Dynasty, what reason do they have, and what qualifications do they have to meet failure?
Fuck the reason, fuck the righteousness and morality!
What Lao Tzu wants is victory!
The soldiers raised their heads and looked at Zhang Chen with their most determined gaze.
Then, Chongxiao's roar sounded instantly, "Swear to take Dongying for your lord!" ”
……
As Zhang Chen said, this attack on Japan was a small test for the soldiers.
If they can succeed this time, then the army of the Great Song Dynasty will be enough to support the country for decades.
But it's just support.
Zhang Chen's goal is to revitalize!
"You're here?" Zhang Chen looked at the two people in front of him with a smile and said.
They were two teenagers of thirteen or fourteen years old, both with the faces of Central Asia.
These two were the two best among the first batch of disciples that Zhang Chen received when he followed Genghis Khan's expedition to the west.
These two people have been abandoned by Zhang Chen in the occupied area of Mongolia, and together with a group of members of the "God of Truth", they continue to spread their teachings there, and secretly condense forces for Zhang Chen.
Nowadays, the word "truth" has already become the most terrifying weapon in the Mongol Empire, although it has always been suppressed under the Mongol State, but it is already sharp, once used, it will inevitably become a huge empire, become fragmented!
These two teenagers were already the leaders of the underground forces of the God of Truth Cult, and they were found here by Zhang Chen at this time, but for a more important matter.
Bringing the two teenagers into his mansion, Zhang Chen pulled them into a secret room.
In this secret room, the dim light shines, which looks particularly strange.
But the two teenagers didn't have any sign of timidity, and instead shifted their gaze to a map hanging in the secret room.
That's a map of the world.
Moreover, it is a world map that has just been updated and published in 2014!
"This is, the whole picture of the world?" The young man named Wu Hao looked at this map in surprise, and his handsome face showed a look of surprise, "I really didn't expect that the world is really like this!" ”
"Why, could it be that you already knew the world before that?" Zhang Chen asked with a smile.
This group of superstitious teenagers has an insatiable desire to explore.
It can be said that since they were taken in by Zhang Chen, thinking has become a part of their daily life.
When eating, think about why these foods have a unique taste, when you sleep, think about why you have dreams, and when you walk, think about why the ground is crooked......
Thinking about every moment has made them gain countless gains.
But Zhang Chen never thought that they would be able to guess what the world was like by thinking.
"Previously, the teacher talked about the general composition of this world, and then, we used the map of the Ming Dynasty to roughly guess what the world looks like." The young man named Li Sheng said calmly, "It's just that I didn't expect there to be so many components." ”
The teacher is naturally An Zi.
Although her main task is to teach some of the most basic theories, she doesn't mind mentioning many aspects of knowledge.
Zhang Chen estimated that she was just saying that this world is not just a continent, and this group of teenagers can deduce the general appearance of this world, but I am afraid that it still depends on various illusions.
"Good!" Zhang Chen laughed, "Your attitude of pursuing the truth makes me quite satisfied!" ”
The two teenagers finally showed a slight hint of pride, raised their heads high, puffed up their chests, and looked directly into Zhang Chen's eyes full of appreciation.
"In that case, I can also rest assured that I will hand over this task to you!" Zhang Chen said.
"Godfather, please!"
"I want you to help me take my navy here and help me explore this continent!" Stretching out his hand to pat the location of the American continent on the map, Zhang Chen said.
The eyes of the teenagers suddenly lit up, and they all said in unison, "We will definitely complete the task, please rest assured godfather!" (To be continued......)
