My surname is Wang, my neighbor Wu Dalang

Chapter 175 Offending my Great Song Dynasty, even if it is far away, I will be punished! (1)

The 38 official ships of the Song Dynasty, with their sails lined up and flags waving, what a spectacular scene when they sailed across the sea from Penglai Port.

However, when the Nuoda fleet reached the majestic sea, they became insignificant ants in the sea.

How insignificant the power of human beings is compared to the mighty power of nature.

The red sun hangs high.

Wang Lin stood on the sampan, looking at the beautiful scenery of the sea, deeply moved.

It was only when he got to the sea that he realized that the sailing of sea ships in this era was not as easy as he imagined.

Using sails as power means that the sailing of the sea-going ship must follow the wind direction at all times. When the wind direction changes, it must be adjusted in time, otherwise the course will be very different.

This means that it is impossible to walk in a straight line.

So regardless of the straight-line distance of more than 100 kilometers, it has become a sea moat that is difficult to cross.

If all goes well, the fleet will arrive in Suzhou, the Kingdom of Jin, within three to five days. This is when the wind direction is just right.

If it doesn't go well, the time will be doubled.

The recruited boatmen are very nervous, because it is summer, which is the season of frequent typhoons at sea, and they must be cautious when sailing at sea in this season.

Looking at the boundless and sparkling sea, Wang Lin knew better than anyone else that the sea looked like a gentle lady when it was calm, but when it became violent, it was like a devil that devours everything.

Three thousand tiger guards were scattered on the ships to protect supplies and caravans.

Each ship carried the flags of the Great Song Dynasty and the Fuhu Army, and the Chinese military ship where Wang Lin was on was also hung with a beige envoy flag representing the Great Song Emperor Zhao Ji.

Wang Lin marveled at the mature craftsmanship of the Song Dynasty shipbuilding industry.

These 38 sea-going ships, with three floors above and below, and nine sails at the front and rear, are all carefully selected "Shenzhou" (about [-] tons) with a load of [-] dendrobium.

"The boat is like a huge room, the sails are like clouds hanging from the sky, the rudder is several feet long, and there are hundreds of people in a boat. They accumulate food for a year, and feed hogs to brew wine."

As for Wang Lin, the ship of the Jinzhengshi Chinese Army was at least a super large ship with a load of more than 2 hu.

There are five floors up and down, twelve sails front and back, and a watchtower at the highest point.

Today's sea-going ships are generally equipped with two main rudders, which can be used alternately according to the depth of the water.At the same time, an auxiliary rudder is installed on the rudder to cooperate with the main rudder to control the course.

In order to berth safely in headwinds, Wang Lin's Zhengshi ship is also equipped with an iron anchor weighing several hundred kilograms, and a winch for lifting and fixing the anchor.

Murong Wan'er, dressed in fluttering white clothes, quietly appeared beside Wang Lin, and said softly, "My lord, the guide has observed that the wind has been sunny and the sea has been calm for the past two days. If there are no accidents, we can arrive in Suzhou smoothly in two days. "

Wang Lin nodded slowly. He pointed to the extreme north and said, "That's Liaodong. It's basically occupied by Jin people now, right?"

Murong Wan'er hummed: "The whole Liaodong is currently the territory of the Jin Kingdom. After the rise of the Jurchen, the Khitan people gradually retreated westward. In fact, according to the current situation, even if the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty do not form an alliance, the Jin people will gradually eat the Liao land. Within ten years, the entire territory of Liao will be wiped out."

Wang Lin cast a secret glance at Murong Wan'er, thinking that this Murong family is really extraordinary, he has been running Jinliao and Koryo trade all year round, so his vision is naturally different.

"Let's see, sir, that's Goryeo over there."

Murong Wan'er chuckled lightly and raised her finger to the northeast: "The Koreans have always been fools on the wall. In Tang Dynasty, they surrendered to the Central Plains and took over as vassals. Since the Song Dynasty, the Liao people were powerful, and they turned to Khitan. They continued to use the title of Khitan and Khitan. Year title. However, in the past two years, the Jurchens have risen, and they turned around and bowed their heads to the Kingdom of Jin."

Wang Lin smiled softly, "Korea is connected to the territory of the Jin people. If Goryeo does not submit to the Jin country, it is not difficult for the Jin people to ride south and sweep the Koryo Peninsula. In fact, it is normal for such a small country to fall back and forth, but it is for survival. , that's all."

"Whether Liao, Jin, Goryeo, or Dongying people in the east, in fact, the clothes are deeply influenced by my Chinese culture, and the culture is the same. However, if you are not of my race, your heart must be different..."

When Wang Lin said this, he found that Murong Wan'er looked a little embarrassed, so he chuckled and said, "Your Murong family has been naturalized in the Central Plains for 200 years. In fact, you are no different from the Han people. The premise is that you are willing to integrate into the Han people, not the Murong family ancestors. I will never forget the so-called royal glory."

After Wang Lin finished speaking, he patted Murong Wan'er's shoulder with a smile, and went back to the rest cabin.

This was a small gesture he did subconsciously, it would have been normal in his previous life, but now it is Song after all, Murong Wan'er was stunned by his sudden intimacy for a moment, and then she secretly became a little happy .

The fleet is sailing on the sea as usual, and there is no air-conditioning in the cabin at this time, and the natural temperature is very high.

After staying in the main cabin for a while, Wang Lin was so hot that he was sweating profusely, and had to go to the deck to cool off again.

It was not until the red sun slanted to the west and the sea breeze gradually picked up that the temperature gradually dropped.

But after a while, suddenly the sea wind was strong, the clouds were dense, the waves were rough, and the roaring waves passed one after another.

The sea ship fluctuated violently on the sea surface, causing the soldiers on board to scream and scream one after another.

Wang Lin held onto the side of the boat tightly, and looked up at the captain of the boat at the helm.

Seeing that the captain of the boat was standing there motionless as usual, he knew that it was not a typhoon, but a normal periodic gust of wind.

Wang Lin was relieved, and suddenly felt a strong vomiting, and he couldn't help throwing up as he rushed to the sea on the side of the boat.

Even the jaundice was about to be spit out.

The boatman on the watchtower suddenly looked up and blew a whimpering horn.

Immediately, the soldiers of Fuhu Army beat the military drum, and the desolate drum sound echoed on the sea for a long time.

"pirate!!"

The soldiers in charge of the signal also issued warning flags to the front, rear, left, and right ships to warn of the incoming enemy.

In an instant, all the boatmen and soldiers rushed out of the cabin and rushed to the deck, and Yan Qing also led more than ten Tiger God Guard soldiers to Wang Lin's side for protection in the first time.

Murong Wan'er also came with Murong's bodyguards.

Yan Qing shouted: "Boss, what's going on?"

The boss of the boat is in his thirties, with a dark complexion and bare upper body.

He is from Terengganu and has been living at sea for nearly 20 years.

At this moment, with a solemn expression on his face, he knelt down at Wang Lin's feet and said loudly, "My lord, there is a pirate ship coming from the northeast. It is about miles away from our fleet, and it will arrive within two cups of tea time at most!"

"Pirates?" Wang Lin frowned and said, "Are there often pirates in this area? Where did the pirates come from? How did your merchant ships pass in the past?"

The boss of the boat: "My lord, it should be the Jurchen pirates, and this area is also the Jurchen pirates, but I think it's a bit strange. Normally, we are the envoys of the Song Dynasty to the Kingdom of Jin, and the Jurchens will not let pirates come to rob us. ..."

Wang Lin pondered for a while, waved his hands and said, "Don't panic, the captain of the boat, tell the boatmen to stay at their posts, don't panic, Yan Qing, order all the boats to lower their sails, gather together, and the soldiers of each boat are ready to face the battle."

Murong Wan'er came over in a hurry and said in a low voice: "Your envoy, it must not be the Jurchen. The Jin people arranged a thousand households in the office of Wu Lubu, the second son of the Jin Emperor Aguda, in Suzhou to welcome the Song Dynasty embassy. So it is impossible for Jurchen pirates to plunder the sea at this time."

"Worubu? Could it be that Wanyan Zongwang?" Wang Lin pondered.

Murong Wan'er nodded slowly: "It is this person who is extremely strict with the Wolubu army and strongly advocates the Jin-Song alliance, so there are people from Wulubu, and the Jurchen pirates along the coast must have been wiped out. At this time, where Pirates coming?"

Wang Lin smiled calmly: "It doesn't matter whether they are pirates or not. Soldiers come to block them, water comes to cover them, and every ship is guarded by soldiers. It's useless to panic, just be prepared."

……

After a while, a fleet of ships appeared in the field of vision, and the sails were raised, clearly identifiable.

Wang Lin stared at it for a long time, then suddenly sneered: "Sure enough, they are not pirates! Yan Qing, you see their ships are about the same size and at the same speed. , On the contrary, it looks like a well-trained navy."

Yan Qing looked at it for a while, and saw that the flags raised by the opposing fleet were square green flags. There were no patterns or characters on the flags, but they were uniform in size and standard. Obviously, they were the standard flags used.

He couldn't help but solemnly said: "The envoy, it should be a navy army. Looking at the formation, I'm afraid there are at least a thousand troops!"

Wang Lin waved his hand: "Get ready for battle."

There were [-] tiger guards and guards on Wang Lin's boat, and all the soldiers were on the decks, with bows, arrows, spears and various defensive equipment ready.

The boatmen performed their duties under the leadership of the captain of the ship, but they seemed more relaxed than the soldiers, and felt that with so many soldiers guarding them, any pirates would not be afraid.

The fleet on the opposite side was getting closer and closer, and they could clearly see that the boat was full of strong men in black and green clothes, with hair tied casually, holding bright long knives, and showing a ferocious expression.

There are more than ten medium-sized open-faced sea-going ships, each with about a hundred people.

When the clear sound of the conch horn came, Wang Lin saw that there were still hundreds of meters away, and the fleet on the opposite side stopped moving forward, intending to form a formation.

Yan Qing sneered: "My lord, these thieves are also alert. The fleet stops outside the range of our bows and arrows, so they will no longer move forward."

At this time, as a large flag was waved, more than a hundred shirtless and sturdy men in the opposite fleet jumped into the sea and dived into the depths.

Yan Qing shouted: "Attention, the archers are ready!"

Wang Lin grabbed the boat plank and looked towards the surface of the sea, and saw that the group of people dived extremely deep, and could only faintly see them swimming towards his own fleet, and the speed was not slow.

Murong Wan'er suddenly jumped down from the watchtower.

A white dress fluttered in the sea breeze, her white clothes were more than snow, and her figure was so graceful!

Wang Lin glanced at her heart and said, it turns out that this little girl is good at martial arts, and she has been hiding for so long!
Murong Wan'er quietly landed next to Wang Lin, with a gloomy expression, she said urgently: "Emissary, no, these people are water ghosts with excellent water skills, they are trying to scuttle the envoy's ship!"

Yan Qing gasped, and immediately waved her hand: "Let the arrow!"

A dense rain of arrows fell into the sea, but with little effect.

This group of water ghosts dived very deep, and their bodies were as light and flexible as sea fish. Coupled with the blocking force of the sea surface itself, bows and arrows basically couldn't hurt them.

Seeing the group of water ghosts getting closer and closer to his own boat, Wang Lin frowned, pondered for a while, and suddenly shouted: "Kill live animals and bleed blood on the sea, the speed must be fast!"
