In the fourth year of the Great Song Dynasty, in June 1228, along the coast of Lianghuai, several huge warships were from south to north, and the "Great Song" battle flag fluttering high on the ship was hunting in the wind. Unlike the hard sails used by most of the merchant ships on the Great Song Dynasty, the warships of the Great Song Dynasty sailors were all soft sails.

Five Great Song warships, two ships of 1,500 materials and three ships of 1,000 materials, each carrying 40 guns and 25 guns, and 300 and 200 officers and men of the naval division. The artillery carried ranged from 7 to 25 Song jin. These two warships, which are also the main warships of the Song Army's naval division, sail all over the world, reaching as far as Africa.

However, for these five warships, it was the first time they had cruised the waters north of the territory of the Great Song Dynasty. Compared with the full swing of going down to the South Sea into the Indian Ocean, the Great Song Dynasty court seems to lack enthusiasm for the "North Sea" sea area north of the Great Song Dynasty.

Strictly speaking, it was the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty himself who had no enthusiasm for the East China Sea, which was under the control of the Mongol state, as well as the Sea of Goryeo and the Sea of Japan.

"Commander, I heard that Li Quan took refuge in Tatars, and he also wanted the imperial court to provide him with food and salary. The straight lady thief is shameless! ”

The warship went all the way to the north, passing through the mouth of the Huaishui Lianshui Water Army, and just a few Mongolian warships were patrolling the coast, and Liu Yungui, the deputy general of the Song Army's naval division, couldn't help but burst into rudeness.

Li Quan, who was entrenched in Huaihai, Shandong, took refuge in Mongolia, because the Great Song Dynasty cut off the supply of food and salary, and tore his face with the Great Song court. It is precisely because of this that the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty seems to have to be interested in the "North Sea".

"I really don't understand, since the emperor dares to use troops in Hexi, why is he hesitant about this Li Quan? Could it be that my sailors and Huaidong Army can't clean him up Li Quan? ”

"It was only last year that Hexi was occupied, and I am afraid that there is not so much food and salary to use troops on both the eastern and western fronts at the same time. Otherwise, the emperor would not have issued so many treasury bonds. ”

"That's how it should be. The emperor dared to fight with the Tatar army, how could he be afraid of a Li Quan? ”

The sailors and soldiers were talking on the bow of the ship, but they saw several Mongolian warships scrambling towards the Song warships.

"What are they going to do? Looking for death? ”

"These dogs are quite bold!"

Looking at the Mongolian warships chasing over, the soldiers were gossiping, and Zhang Weixiao, the commander of the naval division, stood on the deck, put down the clairspace in his hand, and smiled coldly.

The strength of the Great Song Dynasty Sailor is said to be the second, who dares to call it the first in the world? These Mongolian sailors also want to make meritorious contributions and loot, which is looking for death.

As the first batch of students who graduated from the Great Song Naval Academy, Zhang Weixiao has been in the South Seas for one year and at sea for two years, and has rich experience in naval warfare.

"General, the ships of the Loyal Army! What to do? ”

Liu Yungui reported loudly to Zhang Weixiao, his eyes shining.

"What loyalists? The Tatars are just lackeys! ”

Zhang Weixiao said coldly, and then said:

"Wait for them to come up, fire a few shots, and drive them away!"

He really didn't pay attention to these four or five hundred small boats.

The Mongol warships were small and extremely fast, and they quickly entered the range of the Song warship artillery. One by one, the dark cannon muzzles were aimed at the approaching Mongolian warships.

"Puffy Puff!"

The artillery fired almost horizontally, and there was no need to aim at any angle. The heavy artillery of 25 Song Jin can shoot 500 shotguns, iron balls and iron pellets rushed to the face, the two Mongolian troops in front of them bore the brunt, the sawdust of the warship was flying, the hull was punched out of several large and small holes, and the Mongolian sailors on the deck were almost swept away.

As far as the eye could see, the entire deck was filled with bloody corpses and wounded, squirming and screaming or motionless. Many Mongolian troops were beaten and disintegrated, with broken arms and legs, and human organs were full of them.

On the Mongolian warship behind, the Mongolian sailors were stunned, and then rowed back desperately, without any intention of saving their comrades.

"Dirt Chicken Tile Dog!"

Seeing the Mongolian warship fleeing in a hurry, the sailors and soldiers on the Song warship cheered, and Zhang Weixiao also shook his head.

Is this Li Quan's water master, it really disappointed him.

"General, do you want to go in from the mouth of the sea and directly scrap Li Quan's warship?"

Among the naval warships of the Song Army, the 1,000-material naval warships are the main warships, and the warships are equipped with wheels, which can not only enter the sea, but also fight on the river.

"Don't! Our military orders are parades, not battles. ”

Zhang Weixiao did not hesitate and vetoed the proposal of his subordinates.

Among the Song Army's sailors, there has always been a mountain of military orders, and no one can disobey them, let alone a small commander.

The army was stupid, manipulating the warships to go north, and the coast was full of wasteland and artemisia grass, broken walls, herds of wild dogs, and corpses everywhere.

"Shandong, what has become of the Tatar scourge, what a sin!"

Liu Yungui put down the clairvoyant mirror, hated a word, and his nose was sour.

His ancestor is Haizhou, Shandong, young and sensitive, and he can't see the suffering of the world.

"Why didn't our ships fight over?"

"Someday, I'll beat these bastards hard!"

The soldiers were gossiping, but Zhang Weixiao was silent.

Haizhou, Jiaozhou, Dengzhou, Laizhou, these good ports in the north, one day, will return to the rule of the Great Song Dynasty.

…………

For two consecutive days, there was no incident, and on the morning of the third day, the Song warships arrived in the waters near Goryeo, and many corpses floated on the sea, densely packed, and all the troops were frightened.

"Why are there so many corpses on the sea? It can't be a storm, right? ”

"Looks like it's my Great Song Dynasty's maritime merchant!"

The generals and soldiers talked about it, and Zhang Weixiao commanded the warship to salvage the corpses. Sure enough, all the victims were Song costumes, and they all seemed to be maritime merchants.

"General, it can't be a storm, right?"

Liu Yungui muttered, Zhang Weixiao was also suspicious. The climate at sea is unpredictable, and perhaps it is really unpredictable.

"General, it seems that someone is still alive!"

A soldier shouted loudly, and Zhang Weixiao strode over.

"General, the merchant ship has been hijacked, what can I do? Who did this? ”

The army was indignant, Zhang Weixiao's face was gloomy, and Liu Yungui asked in a low voice.

This is the Tamna Sea area, more than 100 Song merchants were killed, and the survivors said that they had encountered pirates, no wonder the Song merchants' sea ships were missing.

"General, could it really be a pirate?"

A general fox asked.

"This is Tamna Island, so what pirates are there? When are there pirates? Don't ask, it was the Koreans of Tamna who did it! ”

Zhang Weixiao made a decisive judgment.

"General, what then?"

Liu Yunguihu asked.

"What to do? If people don't offend me, I don't offend anyone. If anyone sins against me...... Hum! ”

The patrol of the Great Song Dynasty Sailors is to ensure the safety of the Great Song Dynasty merchant ships and show off their muscles at the same time. Killing more than 100 Great Song Dynasty maritime merchants, apart from the restless Tamluo Goryeo Army, who has this strength?

"Herald! Quickly salvage the body and go to Tamna Island! ”

Zhang Weixiao immediately issued a military order.

Blood debts and blood repayment, from morning till night, there is nothing to hesitate about.

After salvaging the bodies, two more dying survivors were found, and several of them were crying for the rest of their lives.

The warships went all the way to the east, and sure enough, they arrived at the port of Tamna in the early afternoon, and the generals of the naval division raised their clairvoyant mirrors to watch, and a large sea ship stopped in the harbor, surrounded by smaller sea ships.

Some pirate men were carrying cargo from the ships of the sea, about six or seven hundred people, and you were coming and going, and I was very happy.

"General, that's our sea ship!"

The surviving maritime merchants saw it clearly, were excited, and shouted loudly.

Sure enough, Zhang Weixiao raised the clairvoyant mirror and watched carefully.

"General, it's really these dog thieves!"

"General, they seem to be setting up on the beach, trying to deal with us!"

The soldiers were filled with righteous indignation, Zhang Weixiao remained silent and continued to watch.

Standing on the shore of the harbor, looking at the several warships sailing on the horizon, Gao Zhongji, the general of the Tamna defenders, frowned.

"Let's go and see, where is the warship?"

Before the cargo was unloaded, there was a warship following behind, which seemed to be a little bad.

I thought that after making this vote, I would be able to live happily for a while, but I didn't expect to leak the news.

"General, it seems to be the warship of the Great Song Dynasty! They're coming for revenge! ”

"How do you know it's a Song Dynasty warship?"

The sergeant came up to report, and Ko Joong Ki let go of his heart.

It turned out to be a sailor of the "Great Coward", and I thought it was the Mongolian army.

"General, on the entire sea, only the sailors of the Great Song Dynasty use soft sails. Look at these warships, they are all soft sails! ”

"General, only half of the cargo has been unloaded. What to do? ”

The soldiers asked one after another, and Gao Zhongji's eyes widened.

"Afraid of what? There are only a few people in the Song army, and the sailors are not infantry cavalry, so it is useless to go ashore! If they dare to go ashore, they will be defeated! ”

Gao Zhongji has been on the battlefield for a long time and has rich experience in robbery, so he immediately issued a military order.

"Pass the order down and get ready for battle!"

They were all dressed as pirates, repelled the "big coward" sailors, cleaned up the mess, and set fire to the ship. There is no evidence, and even if the "big coward" court is held accountable, it is only asking, and nothing can be done.

As for the Goryeo court, now that they are being oppressed by the Eastern Xia Kingdom and the Mongolian State, they are almost about to die, how can they be controlled?

The "pirates" were waiting in the port, and the Song soldiers on the ships were suspicious.

"General, why didn't they run away?"

"How can you be willing to throw away the meat that reaches your mouth?"

"General, it looks like these pirates are going to die!"

"Everybody's on orders! The boat is lowered, and the ship does not open fire until the boat is close to the harbor. Remember! ”

Zhang Weixiao immediately issued a military order.

The Great Song Naval Division's weekday drills, both land and sea, and beach-rushing landing exercises are commonplace, and today is just the right time to test the actual combat.

When approaching the port, the Song warships all stopped, and the side of the ship turned in the direction of the port. Immediately followed by more than a dozen sampan boats scattered from the warship, small cannons and ammunition were also lowered by the soldiers, and the Song soldiers rowed their boats one after another, heading towards the port.

When the boat approached the shore of the port, Zhang Weixiao nodded slightly.

"Puffy Puff!"

The flag was waved, the ship was filled with gunsmoke, and the rumbling of artillery was earth-shattering. Five warships, seventy or eighty cannons opened fire together, and the iron balls screamed and flew, slashing their heads and covering their faces, and smashed straight into the "pirates" on the shore.

The iron ball smashed, the speed was not fast, and Ko Joong Ki felt that he could catch it. With a sound of "Bang", an iron ball smashed into a "pirate" next to Gao Zhongji, his brain burst, and the plasma splashed all over Gao Zhongji's face.

Gao Zhongji's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly bowed down.

As nearly a hundred artillery pieces opened fire together, the screams made people's teeth ache, and the iron balls smashed into the shore of the harbor, bouncing and leaping, and there was immediately a scream and the sound of tooth-aching fractures. The "pirates" were full of flesh and blood, people were constantly being knocked over, and the port was covered with blood and corpses.

Some "pirates" could not stand the bloody battlefield and ran away, and many even threw away their weapons.

The Song army's small boats approached the port, and the small cannons on it began to fire again, and the cannons of the sea ships and boats roared together, followed by the Song army's sailors to land on the beach, covered by shields, and the earth-shattering thunder smashed into the stubborn "pirates" in the corner of the port.

The sound of artillery and earth-shattering thunder explosions came one after another, and the shouts of killing shook the sky, and the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty Navy Division soon broke through the "pirate" position in the port.

Zhang Weixiao went ashore, and the "pirates" in the port were killed and wounded, and the leader of the "pirates" Gao Zhongji was covered in shrapnel, his flesh and blood were blurred, and he had already died.

"Continue the pursuit and occupy the county office! If you dare to resist, you will be killed! ”

Zhang Weixiao's military order was issued, and Tamna Island was filled with the sound of artillery explosions and earth-shattering shouts of killing.

At the end of June of the fourth year of Xingqing of the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty Navy Division captured the overseas island of Tamna and annihilated more than 1,000 defenders on the island. Zhang Weixiao, the commander of the Great Song Dynasty, sent an envoy to inform the Goryeo court, and at the same time continued to inspect the maritime trade routes, waiting for the monsoon to turn and report to the Great Song court.
