Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 604 The right to know Hangzhou military affairs 49
The port of Xinqiao Town on the coast of Luanzhou is in full swing, the sea is calm and there are no waves, and the shipyards by the sea are coming and going.From a distance, large ships are laying skeletons, and there are [-] or [-] medium-sized ships moored at various docks, which are undergoing superstructure modification. Once equipped with weapons, they will become powerful weapons at sea.

As the Yinshu brother who stayed behind in Yanjing, he naturally wanted to inspect the construction of sea ships, but Gao Sheng was on the list.

"The speed is too slow. The soldiers recruited from all over the country can't keep up with the training. As soon as they go to sea, they are messy and can't meet the requirements of actual combat." Gao Sheng couldn't help complaining. For disappointment, it would be nice to be able to control the ship well, as for fighting, you can't count on it at all.

Now, with his illustrious military exploits, he has emerged from the ranks of Han generals and has become hereditary Meng'an, General Zhaowu, and Deputy Commander of Yanjing. He is definitely a powerful general with status.

"Don't be slow, they are not gods. Our Jurchens are best at fighting immediately, and the sea loach is from the south." Brother Yinshu is also a member of the Golden Army. As he gets older, he becomes more conservative and the deadliest What is not good at water warfare.

Don't talk about him, there are not many people in the Jin army who can fight in water, and Wushu wants to develop a water army. He neither opposes nor agrees, but he rarely comes to inspect it, and he seems careless.In his eyes, the water army can't get on the stage at all, and it needs to fight fiercely to conquer the army. Thousands of troops are galloping, wantonly attacking the ranks of the Song army.

Gao Sheng pursed his lips and said displeasedly: "Mr. Lang, if you want to go south to conquer Zhao Song, you can't do it without developing a naval army. It's really a clever move for Mr. Zuo Jianjun to plan for a rainy day. You will see miraculous results in ten years."

See miracles in ten years?Brother Yinshu frowned slightly, he didn't like Gao Sheng's attitude very much, and he didn't care about the long-term plans of the navy.But Gao Sheng is the favorite general of Wushu, and now after Nianhan and Lou Shi, Wushu has become the third person next to Eriduo and Taran, controlling all the armies in Hebei, and he is in the limelight. Champion of the three armies, he is quite useful in military strategy, and is valued by the high-level.

In recent years, he has gradually withdrawn from the army and has to pay attention to promotion. After all, he is on the rise. At a certain level, the difference between the original Han and the Jurchens is not too big in the eyes of the supreme ruler.

"We build ships to train the navy. I'm afraid the Southern Dynasty already knows about it. Now I'm most afraid of their surprise attack." Gao Sheng said very worriedly

Brother Yinshu didn't take it seriously, and said contemptuously: "Those Bubazi, just let them come here, and kill him without leaving a piece of him."

"Lang Jun, Wang Dalang has established a bodyguard water army, which has begun to take shape. I am afraid that they will attack across the sea, and Lang Jun needs to deploy troops to guard against it." Gao Sheng didn't think that the Song army could fight over, but Da Song's naval fleet could directly attack. Arriving at the shore, the Jin army is absolutely irresistible.

"Come from the sea? Don't talk about thousands of miles of seas, dangerous and unpredictable, even if they reach the shore, what can they do, disembark and fight with us?" Brother Yinshu was even more dismissive, the navy disembarked to fight, stop joking, it's not enough The army rushed to kill.

Gao Sheng also has little knowledge of water warfare. He is really not good at persuading Brother Yinshu. He has done everything he should do. Whether it is shore defense or equipment deployment, the level is progressive, the defense is reasonable, and there is a large-scale fighting horse army. Stationed, reflecting the demeanor of a famous general, people have nothing to say.However, he always felt uneasy. Wang Xiu put too much pressure on him. He always felt that Wang Xiu would not allow the Jurchen to develop a naval army and would definitely take preventive measures. The best defense was to attack.

However, it was really not easy for the Song army to attack. It could be said that it was comparable to a large-scale battle, and it felt unreal, which troubled him very much.

"This year, our army did not go south, so they relaxed their guard. I want to ask for orders to go out again, and I must take Kaifeng." Brother Yinshu was very unwilling, and he wanted to go into battle again, for the last time.

"Several gentlemen also have a plan. The top priority is to build a large lucky boat. Once we go south, the navy can reach the river and shake their defense." Gao Sheng smacked his lips, but still lacked confidence. Will he come back when he reaches the river?
Brother Yinshu rolled his eyes, didn't comment on it, and just filtered it out.

Somewhere in Luanzhou, Qin Min, dressed as a businessman, was sitting in the corner of a small restaurant, quietly listening to the words of a middle-aged businessman in blue, and said in a low voice, "Okay, it seems that Uncle Gao Wu He is an all-rounder, and he can build nearly a hundred ships."

"My lord, the [-] sailors they have recruited have already started training, and the most reliable news is that they will be formed within two years."

"I see, you go first! Oh, by the way, recently pay attention to the movement of the captives outside, and write down their military flags." Qin Min smiled nonchalantly. Da Song recruited fisherman's children, and the real sea boats and sailors Tens of thousands of people, the Jurchens are so funny, a naval envoy, Bubazi!

"Yes."

The middle-aged man walked away quickly, Qin Min was playing with the white porcelain wine glass, his brows were furrowed, and he was lost in thought.

Really, Gao Sheng's prediction was right, Wang Xiu decisively took countermeasures, he would never tolerate the Jurchens' development of the navy.

The Jurchens built ships and developed a navy, obviously for the purpose of going south. He was very surprised at first, and even a little scared, but soon regained his composure.

Since ancient times, the northerners are good at horses and the southerners are good at sailing boats. It is definitely not a lie. At least in the short term, the Jurchens can build a fleet of warships that can equip tens of thousands of people, but it is absolutely impossible to have elite sailors. Sailors who are familiar with astronomy and maritime affairs will never be able to compete with the Song Dynasty navy. How can landlubbers who have been trained in haste be compared with those who grew up in the sea?Obviously impossible.

However, he will never let them go because they cannot pose a threat in the short term. What if they are given ten years or even longer?The danger must be killed in the seedling state, not to mention there are so many sea-going ships, a huge fortune!If you leave it there and don't pick it up, you will be struck by lightning.

Yuquanshan Academy Hill Changgong Hall

Li Bao, Shao Qing, and Li Changsheng looked very eagerly at Wang Xiu who was in deep thought, without doubting Wang Xiu's determination, they cared who would go, because Wang Xiu had already decided to send troops.

"I want to hear, the bodyguard navy can dispatch troops and ships, the approximate number is enough." Wang Xiu stared at Li Bao and said, since he wants to go to war, he should listen to the opinion of the general of the bodyguard navy.

Li Bao nodded, and said loudly: "There are currently three fleets of guard navy ships, and they go out to sea in turn. However, the Dazhai on Shamen Island has not been fully completed, and there are only twelve small and medium-sized sea ships there. Jiangkou can mobilize ten large ships and sixty medium and small ships to gather at Shamen Island, cross the sea, and directly attack the shipyards.”
