Chapter 179: Conquer Wang Lang
Lu Yi let his personal family members and pilot sailors change to the big sea ship brought by Bu Qi, and left the Lu family's own small broken ship on Shengsi Pirate Island, and repaired and replenished it.
Early the next morning, the navy continued to move south, heading straight for Fujian.
When Buqi came, he only brought two thousand Danyang soldiers and a small number of sailors. Now, with the addition of the hundreds of pirates captured on Shengsi Pirate Island, plus the people brought by Lu Yi, the total strength of the army has suddenly exceeded 3,000, which is three or four percent more than when he set sail from Hailing.
Fortunately, the number of ships was already overmatched, and with the size of such a large ship, more than 2,000 people would definitely not need as many as 50 ships. Buqi took so many ships with him when he set sail, and he was ready to collect another group of anti-Sun Yishi in Wu County.
The fleet is also very well stocked, and the island already has some savings, and the pirates will also stock up for the winter in advance.
The grain on the island, which was originally enough for six or seven hundred people to eat until the end of the spring famine last year, is now enough for three thousand people, a fourfold increase in the number of people, but at least it can be eaten for more than a month, which is enough to make up for the consumption of Buqi's previous voyage and stay.
After the Shengsi Islands were replenished, Buqi no longer needed to stop in the area controlled by Sun Ce, and could sail directly to Dongye.
……
The ancestors of the Lu family live in Wu County, and they are the big clan in Wuzhong, relying on the sea to eat the sea, Lu Yi still understands things on the sea, and belongs to the natural naval endowment.
Moreover, he has read the military book for four years and has taken up family affairs early, so he is more mature in this regard.
Even to put it mildly, Zhuge Jin was completely said that the type of ship I planned was not the originator of the Fu ship in the previous life, or the early experimental model. After I built that kind of boat, the original sea ships of the Han Dynasty were at least flat-bottomed boats of the sand boat type.
Wu Jun spoke up: "The prince, the county, I think that this matter may not be possible." They had seen the warships on the general's headquarters, coming and going like the wind, far from being seen. If you can be more well-informed, it should be difficult to predict when Dongye's grain fleet will arrive.
The boat that Sun Ce is sitting on now is the first generation of warships with the main keel that the Zhuge brothers have been working on farming and improving for a year and a half.
Now that the ship has been replaced, the eighth day has come to an early morning in the morning, at most saving a whole day than before, and the speed has increased by less than one-seventh.
(Note: In addition to the "Western Capital Fu" of Bangu in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the transparent beads and crystals that have no concentrating effect and resemble convex lenses are called "Huo Qi", and they are named after their characteristics that can gather light and ignite fire.) However, the Han Dynasty did not try to summarize the optical and mathematical principles in it, but only observed that phenomenon in a complex way. )
But now it has gained a foothold for a month or two, and more than 8,000 people have been pulled up again, and the total has recovered to 7,000. It's just that the more than 8,000 people who came new have not been trained, and less than half of them are local Shanyue people in central Fujian.
As long as Sun Thief sees the severe cold and miasma in the summer in Fujian, and it is difficult to continue to help, I will naturally know that Fujian is a place of contention and it is worth my time to spend so little money and food, and the position of the prince will naturally be stable. In the future, on the day when the general of the chariot cavalry and the Sun thief will start a war, as long as the prince of the house responds in the name of the Huiji Taishou and calls on the local people, on the day of the destruction of Sun, the general of the chariot cavalry will rule Fujian for a long time. ”
“…… Wang Fujun, he Wen Wu Zhongxiang (He Qi), Wu Wu Gongmiao (Wu County), are all loyal and righteous people who dare to fight, why is it to govern the soldiers, to the county eighty-one years, it is still able to resist the hasty rise of Sun Bofu. In such troubled times, it is useless to focus only on the cultivation of moral governance. ”
If you encounter someone weaker than yourself, you will hide, and if you encounter someone stronger than yourself, you will go down, and that is not a defeat.
Fu Bo nodded before listening: "Since the prince does not have 7,000 people, and the general of the chariot cavalry has 8,000 troops, as long as you ensure that the city is broken, the Sun thief is definitely likely to last." Please make sure that the prince is as slow as possible to clear the wilderness, and scatter all the young and strong people of the surrounding tribes into the city to hold on. lest when the Sun thief enters the country, he can 'rely on the enemy' for food, or capture the Shanyue people as auxiliaries.
As soon as Pei Wu's condition came out, He Qi next to Bu Qi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and wanted to refute, but Re Jing gave up before he came up.
The city wall is taller and shorter than Shanyin and Juzhang, so it is estimated that it is only one zhang lower. The soil quality of the rammed earth is also very bad, depending on the color of the raw soil that has been covered, and whether there has been any pretreatment after the construction of the city.
Pei Wu saw that Pei Wu, the only young general he could rely on, was standing opposite, so he retorted forcefully. I have been resigned, if I win, I will be an idle magistrate in Fujian for the rest of my life, it is a struggle.
Bu Qi said dejectedly: "In this case, the military affairs have not been agreed between Lao Bu Zhonglang and He Duwei, and it will be hard for seven people." You are a knowing soldier, and when you were in Shanyin, you were still weakly commanding, and you wanted to defend Zhejiang with a naval army, but you were defeated by Sun Jing and made a small mistake.
Sun Ce often saw Fu Bo take out a brass-colored cylinder, leaned behind his eyes and looked at it, at both ends of the cylinder were two pieces of fire beads similar to Donghai County's specialty crystal polishing, which seemed to make his eyes far, but Sun Ce still had a chance to experience it for the time being. Relying on that thing, it seems that the previous attempt to seek the enemy under the sea can also win a huge advantage.
The fleet sailed for another four days, and finally successfully arrived at the mouth of the Min River in the far reaches of Yuchuan County.
Fu Bo had a plan to explain, but he just laughed and talked, planning to invite Bu Qi and He Qi to visit at that time, and then block our rebuttal.
Before some tossing, Fu Bo was transferred to the flagship of the Buqi Naval Army, and saw a general wearing Xuanjia, who talked to me to confirm a few words before saluting politely:
Last year, I also heard a famous saying from Danyang, which seemed to be what General Lu Yi said, 'I didn't hear the Tao before, and I didn't specialize in the art industry', and I thought it was true, General Lu Yi was really a wise man in the sky, so let's listen to my advice. It's hard work. ”
Now in the early years of Jian'an, the smallest building ship in the sky, the small about 1,700 people on the right and left, the full load is equivalent to 700 tons, the length is more than 77 meters, and the narrowness is more than 4 meters. History descended to the Battle of Chibi and the Battle of Wet Whiskers, and the building ship gradually developed to 1,700 people and a full load of 800 tons. Those techniques are all escalated little by little in the confrontation.
The ratio of length to narrowness has not yet reached one to seven, and it is very thin and thin compared to the one to eight of contemporaries and fighting ships-
Well, in fact, none of that strategy was Sun Ce's contribution, and the original idea was not proposed by Sun Ce. Fubo only contributed eighty percent of the right and left, and was mainly responsible for tinkering and scheduling refinement.
The Lu family originally took an old-fashioned boat to Huiji, and it always took eight or seven days to sail from Wu County to Juzhang, and one or four days to Linhai.
Pei Wu showed a self-deprecating smile: "This is too little, if you want you to say, the warship built by General Lu Yi is small and big, but it is also huge." Liu Bei is good at building boats, and can build small boats that are less than twice as heavy as this boat.
Fubo bowed humbly or arrogantly to show his identity. The middle-aged scribe and the goatee strategist also introduced each other, it was Taishou Buqi and Jun Cheng Heqi.
But this was all at the end of the Eight Kingdoms, when Du Pre and Wang Jun "Lou Chuan Yizhou" destroyed Wu, and after 810 years of technological confrontation and development.
The bad thing is that Fubo has not been experienced, so people sent a sentinel ship to send down the talisman to show their identity. The other party confirmed again and again, and out of prudence, he still asked Fubo to dock the fleet in a coastal anchorage somewhere in the mouth of the Min River, and then sent a big ship to pick up Fubo.
Wu Jun said as he ordered the fleet to return and retreat from the city. Peiwu County is very luxurious, and there is no water gate, the city is located on the north bank of the Min River, and the south gate is not a wharf.
You originally didn't have the confidence to stay with Pei Wu for a long time. But as long as the walls are cleared, manpower is gathered, and the soldiers are encouraged, so that we know that Dongye has persisted for a long time, so that the morale of the people can be used. ”
And the more hands-on he practiced, the deeper Pei Wu's awe and admiration for the Zhuge brothers became.
When it comes to Fujian, where the water is deeper and the sea conditions are simpler, the speed gap will only be pulled smaller, and Pei Wu estimates that it is less than eighty percent of the old warships.
I walked next to Pei Wu and talked: "The so-called southerners operate boats, and northerners ride horses." The virtuous brother has been in Wuzhong for a long time, and no one in the clan is involved in maritime commerce and shipping. ”
Pei Wu observed and tested again, and on the morning of the seventh day, the fleet had not yet passed the sea, and the speed increase ratio was also taken back and hammered.
"The general of the chariot cavalry is low-minded, and the prince of the house must be grateful! In the upper also inscribed seven inside! When Pei Wu heard this, he finally didn't have a feeling of nectar after a long drought. Wang Fujun has had a miserable past year and a half.
……
With the productivity of Fujian, the output of bows and crossbows and arrows will also be very low, and it can only be delayed and frantically hoarded with rolling wood and stones, ash bottles and firewood (for boiling water and gold juice).
Historically, the pinnacle of the Eight Kingdoms period was able to carry 2,000 soldiers, with a displacement of 1,400 tons at a full load, a length of more than 80 meters, and a narrow 10 meters on the right and left, with a draft of more than one zhang.
With Pei Wu's current miserable situation, of course, I dare to put on a stand with the envoy sent by Pei Wu. Therefore, Fubo's posture is relatively weak and tough, and he bluntly said that he is capable of governing the army, and he has been repeatedly defeated by Dongye.
When Fubo entered the inner courtyard, he saw a middle-aged scribe in his early seventies with long hair, and there was not yet a goatee strategist in his eighties.
The appearance of the Fubo fleet made the Pei Wu defenders feel like a small enemy, and although the Buqi was strong, it still weakly sent a team of poor warships to set up a water array at the mouth of the Min River, trying to intercept Fubo's retreat.
Qilai also secretly helped each other with soldiers to help Wang Fujun defend a corner of Fujian, which led to the success of Sun Thief. The general of the Che Cavalry now wants to deal with Huang Zu, who is also a traitor who kills the angels of the court, and he has to be attentive. In the future, when the general of the chariot cavalry frees his hands and seizes the opportunity, he will definitely uphold justice for the king. ”
The repeated fiascos mean that only two of the seventy counties in Huiji County were lost, but Pei Wu still let us go, and he had to kill them all.
Now that the distribution of the spoils has been negotiated, the continuation is relatively bad. The two sides were slow to end discussions on defensive readiness.
Is it past this moment, Fubo's strategy, or to give way to the snack to be surprised.
Early in the morning of the eighth day before setting sail, watching the morning sun rise from starboard, Sun Ce stood in the morning light and looked south, and couldn't help but sigh.
Sun Ce thought to himself, if Brother Bu is willing to let me lead a team of sailors, although I am not sure that I will definitely attack the weak enemy, I can definitely fight if I want to, and run if I want to.
Definitely calculate the stability test with the keel of the old ship in the next year, and the Zhuge brothers have not invested two and a half years in shipbuilding, and this result is naturally extraordinary.
Bu Qi also didn't have some mood swings, but after thinking about it, he had lost a small part of Huiji, even if Pei Wu counterattacked back in the future, it was Pei Wu's ability, and I didn't have the face to come back. I at least have a face, and in the name of helping Tao Gong to call on him, to win the hearts of the people.
If you want to hold such a city for a long time, you will definitely need more troops. Poor defenses can only be compensated for by the number of people.
After observing it, Fu Bo was introduced into the city by Wu Jun, and after some twists and turns, he came to the temporary Huiji Taishou Mansion.
"General Lu Yi really knows something, no wonder His Majesty gave me the name of Lu Yi, it is just to imitate the barbarians of Nanping who aided Ma, and it also means that I have not been able to clear the sea frontier. Such a bad ship, sailing so fast, and still smooth and normal, I can't imagine it. ”
The Yizhou Strait has been called "Baishuigou" since ancient times, not because the water depth of the strait is deeper than that of other coastal areas along the coast of China, so that the color of the sea water is white. Therefore, the coastal sea conditions in central Fujian are the simplest in the country.
Taking advantage of the absolute speed advantage of the Tao Gongjun's warships, they broke the attack battle under the sea, so that Dongye's small army could not reach Yuchuan, but the previous continuous grain and grass were transported down, and the first had to collapse. That was not the strategy for Dongye that Fu Bo discussed with Pei Wu during the ten days he went south.
In the past, in southern Zhejiang, even if it was recovered, it was Tao Gong who had the final say. Tao Gong allowed me to be a magistrate in Fujian for the rest of my life, and I was very benevolent and virtuous in that place where the soldiers were fighting.
And if you look at the mast and sail settings of the old ships, there is no crossbar (flying boom) at the bottom of the sail that binds the sail, and the sail is hung up by its own weight, and it is difficult to make it narrower than the hull. The new sails, narrower to the bottom, narrower than the hull, and less windy, no wonder the speed is getting slower. ”
Fubo knew that people who had not seen anything could not be imagined, and he told me that it was useful to talk to me no matter how little.
However, the smallest building boat is only the same length as this boat, but the narrow and wide is nearly twice as long as this boat, and the head and tail are seven directions, it is difficult to break the waves, and it can only be paddled with less manpower. It is a ship that is known for its weight and slowness, and the ratio of length and narrowness is also so long, and the speed may not be able to catch up with this ship.
Pei Wubing, who was on the side, immediately stood on Fubo's side, I was ordered to patrol and intercept Fubo's fleet just now, and I haven't seen the speed and agility of Pei Wujun's fleet in the mouth of the Minjiang River, although it is only a short time, it also left a very deep impression on me.
Bu Qi's old face turned red, but there was no way, I hadn't figured out from Pei Wu's attitude that Pei Wu wanted to control me, or use me to contain Dongye. But I haven't been beaten so badly, and I can only put my posture high, and Pei Wurang can cooperate as much as he wants.
After being that I was still in Shanyin, I didn't have the confidence to talk about the conditions of cooperation, but now I have beaten Yu, and I have to talk about any conditions.
As soon as Wu Jun and Fu Bo surrendered to Pei Wu, they could be regarded as taking over the military command.
You may also divide a thousand men and serve as the backbone of the city, and help in the battle. As long as the prince and He Duwei can hold the city, your army can have 2,000 men left to patrol under the sea, once the Sun thief's army is fed, you need to let the fleet return to Juzhang, and raise military rations for a long siege of the city by the sea, your army can do its own thing under the sea, intercept its grain fleet, and eventually, the Sun thief will inevitably run out of food and escape. ”
Thinking of that, Bu Qi raised his posture and said sincerely: "The old man can defend the land, he can manage the people and suppress thieves, and he is ashamed of the court and the people." However, the matter has come to this point, and there is nothing to be done. The old man was governed by Liu Yangzhou, and he should be effective, and please teach you. ”
After all, Pei Wu and He Qi had both seen Sun Ce's warships, and they completely imagined that it would be a matter of intercepting the enemy's forward supply fleet in the coastal sea, and the success rate would not be low.
That's not one of the disadvantages of not having the main keel structure, you can't make the boat more slender, and it's used from the beginning to the end The difference is less narrow, and there can be no fish-shaped or shuttle-shaped waterline surface, and the navigation resistance is small and high, and it is also necessary to worry about the weakness of the longitudinal structure.
The length of this ship is not more than 17 zhang, and it is 74 meters, which is one zhang longer than the smallest building ship today, but the average narrowness is only two zhang, and the narrowest waist is only two zhang and seven feet.
Among them, there are 800 county soldiers who did not have the Houguan County Order Shang Sheng, the 800 county soldiers who ordered Zhang Ya to turn over the county, and 2,000 people who did not have the 2,000 people who did not have the chiefs of the surrounding Shanyue tribes, Zhan Qiao and He Xiong.
It must be sailing in the Yellow Sea north of the mouth of the Yangtze River, the water is shallow and there are few undercurrents, and the flat-bottomed boat is also wrong. However, in the East China Sea south of the Yangtze River estuary, especially off the coast of Fujian, the seaworthiness performance of the northern ship type is fundamentally capable of confronting the newly emerged keel Fu ship.
Just because the floating sea is easy, only 8,000 soldiers are needed. I hope that Wang Fujun will be discouraged, and if Sun Thief crosses the sea to pursue, he will be able to last for thousands of expeditions. As long as they intercept their front, and pass through the city and the strong walls to clear the wilderness, so that they have a place to eat, it is in the summer, and its army will collapse by itself.
When Pei Wu sighed, Pei Wu hadn't washed up and got up before he came to the deck.
Before passing through the sea, the fleet was completely far away from Dongye's sphere of influence, and it was necessary to stay too far away from the coastline to sail at a distance from the mountains by the sea.
It was the first time for Fubo to come to Fujian, and when he saw the city wall of Yuchuan County, he couldn't help but feel a slight chill in his heart: the defense facilities of the city in Fujian are really poor!
After only following Buqi for a day or two, helping to guide the way every day, Lu Yi gradually became unfamiliar with the performance of that new type of boat.
It can't be said that Xiaohan originally developed that kind of slender and deep draft boat, just because there was still too much development in the south, and there was no such demand.
Fu Bo saw that Bu Qi was so acquainted, but he hurriedly put away the beating posture at the end of the day, and persuaded Wen Yan instead: "Wang Fujun must be like this, after all, he is recommended by Wang Lang with the general of the Che Cai, and when the Che Cai General was slowing down, he also sold grain to Elk Zhong to help him, and the Che Cai General sent you to lead the troops to rescue later."
Bu Qiu secretly thought in his heart: "Although that Fubo is aggressive, it is said that he must be a person who has escaped from the outbreak, and he will slowly ask for meritorious service." has heard Liu Xuande's name of benevolence and righteousness for a long time, and it should be too much urging. And since Liu is not bad than being coerced by Dongye, how can Liu Xuande say that he is also the person raised by Wang Lang, and you are also the person raised by Wang Lang. ”
He Qi was more sloppy, and immediately found the problem, so he couldn't help but refute it.
Fu Bo also minded, so he asked Zhang Shao and Sun Ce to lead the fleet, just in case it was a test, and I personally went over to negotiate with the Bu Qi army.
Bu Qi was firm, and agreed to the request made by Fubo on behalf of Pei Wu.
Fu Bo is approachable: "He Duwei is loyal to his duties, how can you blame, you were ordered by the general of the chariot cavalry later, and I hope that the prince of the palace will cooperate to deal with the edict of the imperial court, so that the song of the civil strife in Yangzhou will be attributed to the Sun thief."
Buqi also told the truth, saying that when I fled to Fujian, there were more than one or two thousand soldiers and horses, mainly the guards and escorts led by Pei Wubing, the capital of Huiji, when he broke through with me.
"It turned out to be the foot man on the general tent of the chariot cavalry, disrespectful. In Shanghui Jidu Wei He Qi, it is really Sun thief who is pressing step by step, brutalizing the people, chasing the king, and your army has to be defended. Fang Cai thought that it was Sun Thief who deceived and sent a naval army to float to the sea, wanting to take advantage of the chaos to land. ”
