Chapter 290: Shenzhou
This can be said to be the first naval battle between the Northern and Southern Song Dynasty ended in a very short time.
The Southern Song Dynasty sailors had no power to resist.
The mobility of the centipede ship, the bravery of the sailors of the victorious army, and the ferocity of the firearms, these are combined into a new set of tactics, the angle of attack, the firearms sweep the deck, and the Molotov cocktails give a fatal blow, accompanied by the incendiary bottles smashed on the side of the ship, and the burning Southern Song Dynasty warships, those sailors jumped into the sea in horror, and then were hooked out by the sailors of the victorious army with hooks to tie them up.
This is what the king has designated.
The king had just given an order that in the future he should give preferential treatment to the prisoners in the internal war, not to beat and kill the prisoners, not to even starve them, but to let them have enough to eat.
So the sailors even changed their flags.
Now Ruan Xiaoqi is flying on the mast behind him is the panda flag.
These captives will not only be given preferential treatment in the future, but they will also be organized and sent to various parts of Hebei to visit, to see the new countryside in the north, to see the trial of the gentry......
And then......
Put it back!
Put the fare back!
In other words, Wang Dawang really doesn't need to bother with some things!
He has too many tricks that he can directly use for this kind of thing, and casually takes one out of his memory is a big killer, and the most important thing for a traverser is those modern scientific knowledge? Those are really not the most important, ancient China's science and technology was at least before the middle of the Ming Dynasty, it was originally better than other countries in an all-round way, even if the Ming Dynasty was partially backward, because of its openness to the outside world, it was actually catching up again.
What's more, unless you are an expert-level traveler, only a small part of the scientific knowledge that can be known will be realized in ancient times.
For example, everyone knows that in ancient times, steelmaking was really not easy, even if it was only a beginner-level crucible steel, it was difficult, graphite crucible, smelting time, added auxiliary materials, these all had to be experimented a little bit, and iron ore had to be considered. Iron ore largely determines the quality of steelmaking, and the crucible steel of the British is made of ultra-high-grade iron ore imported from Sweden, and it has to be smelted by pig iron, wrought iron, wrought iron, and finally re-smelted high-quality wrought iron.
The smelting process also has to add auxiliary materials.
Even the British of the same era, in order to steal the crucible steel technology, did so by doing industrial spies.
If a traverser who only knows such a thing as crucible steel wants to monetize it, it will take a lot of time to experiment, and even a certain degree of luck to obtain it, and it is not easy to achieve just a temperature without the available temperature measuring equipment.
How to distinguish between 1,200 degrees of molten iron and 1,500 degrees of molten iron?
How do you know it's not fourteen hundred degrees?
1,400 degrees can not be made of crucible steel.
Science is the hardest.
On the contrary, the experience and wisdom of those predecessors is the easiest, and the same use of this knowledge to transform the country is also the most important, with the population, science and technology, and civilization of ancient China, as long as the country does not degenerate to the extent of being destroyed by internal moths to the extent of erosion, it is to hang everything around. And the transformation of this country is also very simple, that is, yeoman farming, yeoman farming is invincible, yeoman means a huge internal market, and the internal market will support economic prosperity.
Homesteaders meant that after the population grew, there were countless landless people under the equalization system, who either went to the factories or expanded their territory.
The two legs of industry and expansion are opened.
Although Wang Yue could use another way, it was obviously too cruel for him to choose, but even if it was another way, he would have to strangle the landlord to death first, because this class would only cause him trouble.
So......
Fight the local tyrants and divide the fields!
When King Chuang comes, he doesn't pay for food!
Grievance conference, the People's Liberation Army treats prisoners preferentially!
……
There are countless such things, and any one of them will sweep the world.
Let these southern soldiers go to the north to visit and then carry out some education, as long as they put it back, it will be a fire, and they will use what they see and hear, so that the great painters in the south will become a powder keg that will explode at any time.
Just wait for Wang Yue to ignite it.
"Let's go, land on Tang Island and capture Zhao Gou alive!"
Ruan Xiaoqi looked at the bundled Southern Song Dynasty sailors on his deck and said with satisfaction.
"General, look!"
Suddenly there was an exclamation behind him.
Ruan Xiaoqi looked back in amazement, and saw that in the southern sky, a cloud of black smoke was spreading, and at the same time, a rocket smoke trail rose, followed by another cloud of black smoke exploding.
"U-turn!"
He shouted without hesitation.
It was a warning from his subordinates who had stayed outside to keep guard, and the enemy had arrived outside.
Behind him, the flag waved immediately.
The centipede ships that had just finished the salvage of the captives and were preparing to rush to Tang Island to land immediately followed him and turned around, and those who had landed on Tang Island before also quickly evacuated, their forces were not enough to attack Tang Island alone, and there were many soldiers stationed on the island to protect Zhao Gou, and even the latter had a small fortress. Those who had attacked the docks had not returned, and they had already rushed into the transports that had not had time to anchor, sweeping the deck with bowl-mouth shotgun rounds and throwing Molotov cocktails everywhere.
Many transport ships were set on fire, and the raging fire and billowing smoke made the dock doomed, and those Southern Song sailors who were unable to rescue them simply jumped into the sea and swam to the shore.
The rockets to the south are still rising, and it is clear that the situation is critical.
Ruan Xiaoqi led the fleet south at full speed.
Soon they had become a tailwind, and they rushed out of the mouth of Tangdao Bay.
But the next moment he was dumbfounded......
"That's a big deal!"
He stared dumbfounded at a huge fleet of windwinds in the distance.
In front of this fleet, two huge ships that can be described as behemoths are coming towards them like two moving cities on the sea, and the two centipede ships in front of them are like ducks in front of a buffalo, rushing towards this side. And behind these two giant ships, there are six giant ships that are much smaller, but still larger than any ship in Tangdao Bay, a total of eight such giant ships lined up on the sea, crushing with an admirable momentum.
Those two are really too big.
Even if Ruan Xiaoqi has seen many large maritime ships in Tianjin in the past few years, and there are even some of them of the 3,000 material level, it is still not worth mentioning compared to these two ships.
They are as striking as two mountains on the sea.
"10,000 materials, at least 10,000 materials."
He exclaimed.
At this time, the material is roughly equal to a stone load, and a stone refers to the weight of japonica rice, that is, ninety-two and a half catties, Shen Kuo recorded, fifty-nine kilograms, one catty of six hundred and forty grams, there are unearthed copper rules, that is, weights, ten thousand materials are six hundred tons of load, plus the weight of the ship itself, with a modern displacement of thousands of tons.
"Back to this general, this is the Shenzhou sent by Emperor Taishang to envoy Goryeo."
A captured officer next to him said cautiously.
"Envoy to Goryeo?"
Ruan Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, before the little ones came here, they had already set sail from Mingzhou, it is said that the ship was carrying Lu Yundi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and Lu Shilang had already made an envoy the year before last, but when he came back, the original ship sank a few, these two were rebuilt by the order of the Emperor, and they were all big ships, showing my great Song Guowei to Goryeo."
The officer said.
"He has a fart national prestige, and he was driven out of the capital and thought he was the emperor? Besides, at this time, the Juryeo were attacking Goryeo, and they all occupied Goryeo Xijing, and when I went south, they were about to hit their Kaijing, and at this time, they sent Goryeo to be a prisoner of the Jurchens? ”
Ruan Xiaoqi said speechlessly.
"I don't know this little one, maybe they didn't know about it when they left, this should be a return, the envoys to Goryeo set sail from Mingzhou into the Heishui Ocean, went to the side of the Wa Kingdom and then went to Goryeo, and when they came back, they turned from Liaodong to the south to Chengshan and then turned around, and continued to return south along the coast. Seeing here at this time, it must be a return from Goryeo, but they didn't expect the general to be here, this is also a credit to the general, the general can rest assured, they are the envoys of the envoy, there are not many soldiers on the ship, they just rely on the ship to bluff people. ”
The officer said with a servile face.
"Ha, you're a sensible person, brothers, let's get a big ship to play!"
Ruan Xiaoqi said with a smile.
The drums on the deck behind him beat again, and with the wave of the signal flag, more than a hundred centipede ships that had already rushed out of the bay fed forward like wolves.
They were also found on the Shenzhou in the distance, and the eight giant ships that were originally chasing and killing were so happy that they turned away from the coast without hesitation. But the ships were so large that they were useless even with many masts, and their size limited their speed, and the tailwind could not match the rows of oars that had lowered their sails, which were at least twice as fast as them.
The two fleets chased each other on the sea, and soon the Shenzhou fleet swept in front of the centipede ship.
But then the centipede ship also turned to a tailwind, and continued to increase in speed as the sails were raised.
The six smaller passenger ships did not hesitate to abandon Shenzhou, relying on their slightly smaller size to be faster, surpassing Shenzhou and escaping alone.
In the desperate gaze on the Shenzhou, Ruan Xiaoqi's flagship was the first to rush to him, and the soldiers on the Shenzhou still wanted to shoot arrows condescendingly, Ruan Xiaoqi's bow bow and upper bowl suddenly erupted into flames, and a storm-like shotgun swept across the deck of Shenzhou. At the same time, the other two centipede ships also arrived, and then the bow bowl also fired, and at the same time as the shotgun swept across the deck of the Shenzhou, the claws on this deck were thrown one by one, and the sailors of the victorious army who were used to being water thieves climbed up one after another.
At this time, another Shenzhou was also intercepted, and more than a hundred centipede ships swarmed behind, one by one constantly approaching the huge Shenzhou, and countless sailors drowned the two giant ships like ants......
