Chapter 1363 For the country's worries, the selfless assistance of Wang Daguan (second update)

Chapter 1372

As Tong Guan returned to Jiaonan Port, the news that the female straight man was going to attack the Liaodong Peninsula was sent back to Bianliang, Tokyo.

After Wang Yang received the news, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.After all, the impression that Di Gubao gave him was too unreliable. Apart from doing business with integrity, Wang Daguan really didn't know how to describe him.

Emperor Zhao Xu, Prime Minister Su Dongpo, Privy Envoy Zhang Wei and Wang Yang once again gathered in the imperial study room, and a huge map was placed on the floor of the imperial study room.

It was a map including Jiaodong Peninsula and Liaodong Peninsula, as well as many surrounding small islands, and Wang Yang was standing next to the map talking.

"This time, my Great Song Dynasty has already issued an ultimatum to Di Gubao. Now, because of the perennial fierce battle with the Northern Liao Dynasty and the elongated battle line, the female straight tribes have invested more and more troops. The things produced by the weak, women and children have long been unable to meet their survival needs.

In addition, the food that my Song Dynasty gave to the female straight people was half-sold and half-gifted. Being able to obtain enough food and other living materials at a low price naturally made the female straight people more free to communicate with the Northern Liao Dynasty. Against the enemy...

Today, at least two-thirds of the rations and most of the salt supply of the women's straight tribes are completely supported by my Song Dynasty.

Once my Great Song Dynasty cuts off its grain, grass and salt, at this critical moment.Even if the female straight people save food and expenses, it is not enough for them to support them until the autumn harvest time, not to mention, even if it is the autumn harvest time, the rations they can get are enough for their family to support them for two to three months at most. "

#####
"What can they do? Even if they are willing to give in to Beiliao for the sake of their stomachs, I believe Beiliao will be happy to watch these former powerful enemies starve to death between the white mountains and black waters."

"So, now, the Song Dynasty has issued an ultimatum to the female straight people. Faced with the danger of food shortage at any time, the female straight people have no choice. Now the Dongdong Road in the Northern Liao Dynasty has long been corrupted due to years of war. In one piece, the population is almost gone, and the original farmland is full of weeds, even if they want to plunder, there is no place to plunder.

Therefore, female straight people can only be threatened by my Da Song obediently, and they have to fight if they have to. Only when they take down the Liaodong Peninsula and give it to me Da Song obediently, can they continue to get enough food from my Da Song. Continue to confront Beiliao. "

"No wonder you, Wang Wushan, have been insisting on doing food business with that women's department. It turns out that the root is here..." Su Dongpo, the old driver, naturally understood the conspiracy of Wang Yang, a treacherous young man.

"This is natural. The women's straight tribes are too far away from my Great Song Dynasty. The military power of my Great Song Dynasty is no threat at all to the women's straight tribes with a Northern Liao in the middle."

"However, sometimes war is not just the use of force, resources can also be used as a tool of war." Wang Yang sniffed and said proudly.

It has to be said that this can be regarded as one of the things he has planned for the longest time since he came to this era.

Zhang Wei stroked his long beard, and nodded deeply. "Except for the wealthy areas around Liaoyang Mansion in Dongdong Road in Northern Liao, almost all the people in other places have fled.

Almost all of them can be said to be poor and uninhabited. After suffering several losses in the hands of female straight people, Beiliao now adopts a strategy of shrinking defense. In this way, female straight people can only invest more manpower to maintain The line of defense should not be full of loopholes, and the Liao people took advantage of their precautions. "

"What's more, even if Di Gubao really doesn't make a move, then, with the strength of my Song Dynasty's navy and Wanhong Trading Company, I am fully capable of transporting [-] fully armed soldiers of the Song Army to there at once. On the Liaodong Peninsula, it cuts off the connection between Liaoyang Prefecture in the Northern Liao Dynasty and Ningzhou and Xiazhou..."

"Master Zhang's words make sense, but this is the last resort." Wang Yang nodded, but then shook his head and explained. "After all, if our Song Dynasty can avoid direct conflict with Bei Liao, then it is best not to conflict. The most important thing is to accumulate strength."

"Well, now my Jiaodong Navy in the Song Dynasty, oh no, it should be called the Jiaodong Navy. Now there are five warships of [-] materials, [-] warships of [-] materials, and about [-] ships. Fifty ships.

There are a total of 5000 naval officers and soldiers. It can be said that almost [-]% of the naval warships belonging to the Song Dynasty military are gathered in the Jiaodong Peninsula. "

Hearing Zhang Yu's sincerely proud and proud statement, Wang Yang couldn't help curling his lips secretly, but he didn't complain on the surface because he didn't want to hit the big brother of the Privy Council of the Song Dynasty.

In the past, the navy of the Song Dynasty, yes, there was only such a saying, whether it was the Dongting Lake navy, the Yangtze River navy, or the Yellow River navy, all surface arms were collectively called navy.

Moreover, the Song Dynasty paid more attention to the surface military forces within the continental shelf, but the surface military forces along the coast of the Song Dynasty were very weak.

Wang Yang remembers that when he first proposed the idea of ​​attacking the Liaodong Peninsula, both Su Dongpo and Na Zhangyou expressed their opposition. One of the important reasons was that the navy cost too much money, and there were many sailors in the Song Dynasty. It is in rivers and lakes, and there are very few driving on the sea.

And after Wang Yang, a wealthy businessman of the Song Dynasty, donated four ships of [-] materials and ten ships of [-] materials to the Jiaodong Navy of the Song Dynasty free of charge.Coupled with the strong support of the emperor Zhao Xu, he decided to vigorously develop the navy of the Song Dynasty.

The countless ministers and workers in the court reluctantly stopped expressing their opposition to the formation of the navy in the Song Dynasty.But of course, not all of those ships were bought from those maritime merchants and Jiangnan shipyards.

The shipyard in Jiaonan has also contributed a large ship of [-] materials and four sea-going ships of [-] materials.After all, although Wang Yang gave the warship to the court for free, it is impossible to always pay for it.

He prefers to let his shipyard build more ships, polish his skills, and create more, better, stronger, and faster sailboats.

You know, in the Southern Song Dynasty, there were countless ships in the Song Dynasty, but the reason for this was forced, because at that time, the Song Dynasty had almost lost all the land north of the Yellow River. Wealth, in order to maintain the tranquility of the coast of the Great Song Dynasty and prevent the powerful enemies from the north from coming from the sea, we can only build ships wantonly.

That being the case, it is not up to Wang Daguan to use the abundant resources to create the great navigation era of the Song Dynasty in advance.

You know, when Columbus in the West embarked on the initial expedition to discover America on August [-], [-], the Spanish expeditionary fleet led by him had only three ships: the Santa Maria (Santa Maria), the Pinta ( Pinta), Nina.

The largest Santa Maria is the flagship.The hull of the Santa Maria is about 18 meters long, the keel is 12 meters long, the beam is six meters long, the cabin (from the keel to the deck) is three meters deep, the load is about 250 tons, and the displacement is [-] tons.
