Chapter 285: Coming from the Sea


A little tragic thing happened, that is, when the fleet of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty went out of the mouth of the Yangtze River, that is, on the Yangzhou side, a strong wind directly overturned the largest building ship.

What is Yu Yi's identity must be on the largest ship, and the result is that when the ship capsized, even him, as long as the envoys were noble, all of them were unlucky.

Fortunately, at that time, this group of nobles was on the deck, and when the boat capsized, they could still swim dog-crawling for a while, most of them were rescued by the ships next to them, and a few were sunk into the sea with the boat to feed the fish and shrimp.

There were survivors of the nobles, not a few, and some of the crew and the ship's attendants, retinues, maids, etc., also escaped, and the remaining nearly 800 people and a large number of valuable materials were all buried in the sea.

Capsizing at sea or something, it actually didn't happen less on the side of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and it was only because the small court didn't listen to the persuasion of professionals, so it had to drive the five-story building ship out to sea.

After the shipwreck, the small court didn't care if anyone had persuaded it before, the upper class would never be wrong, the fault was the middle and lower class, and the result was that the captains of the fleet were beheaded, and the crew, entourage, and maids who were lucky enough to survive the capsizing also lost their heads.

"The fleet of the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty stopped at Jingkou, and it was called Dantu before, and asked us to send a fleet."

Lu Yi had a constipated expression on his face: "The requirement is a large fleet, to show the majesty of the small court." ” The list seems to be more detailed, how many large ships are needed, how many warships are needed, and the number of sailors dispatched cannot be less than how much.

Of course, the Han side is divided into inland river water army and sea navy, and the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is called the water army.

The small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty also did not understand what ships the navy of the Han Dynasty had, and judged the size of the ships based on their own division, that is, "material". 1 material is about 0325 tons, and the five-story ship that overturned is 3500 materials, that is, a ship of 11375 tons.

The number of such ships in the Eastern Jin Dynasty was actually very small, and the choice of a five-story ship as the initial flagship was definitely for the sake of pretending.

However, it is obvious that the road of pretending to be forced in the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty ended as soon as it left the house, and nearly 1,000 people were lost without pretending. 3500 is really big, you have to know deeply, even in the Middle Ages in the West, the tonnage of ships is actually 200 tons to 400 tons, and there are few ships of more than 400 tons.

One of the pitfalls is that Westerners play with the sea, while Orientals play with river boats.

There are many types of ships on the Han side, such as the largest number of Kirk galleons, which are 200 tons, and they are mainly used as troop carriers.

The latter system was able to produce vessels other than fishing vessels, and the unnamed transport vessel had a load of 400 tons.

Among the battleships, the one with the bed crossbow was only 250 tons, and the one with the Spitfire was 200 tons.

Due to the extreme need of the land arms, Liu Yan did not "summon" many sea ships, because it was an extremely unnecessary thing, and the transport ships were still somewhat useful, and the "summoning" of battleships was purely ashes, so he only "summoned" a few warships.

It must be noted that a ship is summoned to carry a crew and consumes only 1 population, but the crew on it cannot do anything other than participate in the operation of the ship.

Liu Yan was actually happy when he received the request of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Borrowing other people's things to set up music, is that still a music or what the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty wants to do "The other side asks for tribute, and what ships are needed will be selected in the fleet."

Lu Yi felt constipated because of this: "It's shameless to a degree." ” "No, the other party is afraid."

Ji Chang thought from another direction: "We are the only one in the world who can travel freely on the sea, and the small imperial court has long wanted to obtain the method of building sea ships. ” It's really the same thing, for example, the guy named Mr.

Gong Tao is actually Sima Ru, who tried every possible means to spy on the shipbuilding sites of the Han Ministry, and more than once bribed the officials of the Han Ministry to obtain the drawings of the sea ships.

This guy has been arrested on the Chao 1 Xian Peninsula and is being held in Ma 1 Shi 1 Jin.

Looking at the surname Sima, Sima Ru should be the royal family of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but it is not like that.

His original surname was Zhuo, and Sima was given the surname.

Ji Chang is not wrong at all, there is really only one mature sea ship system in the Han Department on the east side, and the rest basically don't understand the difference between sea ships and inland river ships, and the result is that there are many people who take inland river ships to sail to the sea.

The river boat is calm and calm in the sea, but once it encounters a slightly larger wind and waves, it is basically a tragic end.

"We have to send a fleet" Ji Chang was inclined to send a large fleet, he said: "Don't go ashore, just pick up people." ” "It's not realistic," Sang Yu said with a grin: "Those wastes in the south are easy to enjoy, and you will definitely bring countless jars and jars with you when you go out repeatedly, and your entourage and maids are even more essential."

If you don't dock, you can't get many big objects on board just by boat. ” Liu Yan asked strangely: "Big object" "yes, yes."

Sang Yu pointed his fingers: "There will definitely be a bed, plus the screens, desks, and many other utensils they are used to, maybe there are dressers and so on."

Liu Yan was stunned in an instant.

The enjoyment of the Jin nobles has reached such a point, and it is not a joke at all that they have to carry a bed when they go out, they have to prepare for a long time when they go out, and the necessary enjoyment must not be missing, and they will never go out if they are less.

"It's not that exaggerated," Lu Yi said with a wry smile: "I will only do it when there are conditions, it's not that I can't compromise." ” "In other words, Yu only said one thing, the female singer and Mei Ji will definitely not be less" Sang Yu saw Lu Yi admitting, and said with a grin: "The female girl and Mei Ji are serving people, how can they carry how many unnecessary materials if they don't dress up?"

Lu Yi was speechless.

The Jin people have an almost pathological insistence on the enjoyment of women, which does not distinguish between the north and south of the Yangtze River, look at a few Han people who were originally family patriarchs or high-level figures, who did not raise a group of female singers, beautiful girls, dancers, and cooks.

The division of labor among these women is quite detailed, some specialize in serving people to sleep and groom, some specialize in eating, drinking, and pulling, and some specialize in making sounds and dancing.

"Go" Liu Yan clapped: "It must be the Grand Fleet" The small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty has not faced up to the Han Dynasty, and has never thought that it can be handled at will, even if the Han army killed the Xuzhou army, it only made the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty pay a little attention to it, but it still has the posture of giving and asking.

"It's not to pick people up."

Liu Yan said slowly: "Go and shake it around, and let those guys with a small eye see what the navy is." ” Ji Chang understands in seconds, if he goes to demonstrate, then he will mock the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and he may have to lay the groundwork for future trade or something How big a fleet is a big fleet Liu Yan picked out nearly three hundred ships and warships, of which one hundred and fifty warships were purely temporarily "summoned".

The main garrison of the Han navy was Ma1 Shi and 1 Jin, and after receiving the order, they first rushed back to Lingshan Island to join up with friendly forces, and the fleet of 300 ships was to carry out the necessary supplies in Changguang County, and then began to move south.

Ships of more than 100 tons are never small, especially if they are not built boats.

In this way, 300 ships lined up to sail, and the space occupied seemed to be a vast expanse.

Because Qingzhou has no major war for the time being, Ji Chang volunteered to go south as the first person in the fleet.

They are sailing against the wind, and of course they can't sail straight, but in fact they go around a kind of circle, which is also the way to sail when the monsoon does not allow it.

From Changguang County in Qingzhou to the mouth of the Yangtze River in Yangzhou, the distance in a straight line on the map is about 1,400 miles.

It took nearly twenty days, and when Ji Chang saw the land again, he asked and learned that it was close to a place called Sha 1 Zhou 1 Island or what kind of island, and the route moved to the west to be the mouth of the Yangtze River.

Along the way, until it approached the territory of the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the fleet did not encounter any ships at sea at all, and it was still closer to the mouth of the Yangtze River before there was a shadow of ships.

For such a large fleet of the Han Navy approaching the mouth of the Yangtze River, in fact, the Yangtze River Navy of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was stunned and frightened when they received the news.

The scale of the Yangtze River Naval Army of the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is not small at all, it can be said that there are no other troops, and the small imperial court does not dare to lack the construction of the Yangtze River Naval Army.

The Yangtze River is a natural risk, and with natural insurance, there must be corresponding troops to defend it, otherwise no matter how natural it is, it will not be reliable.

The more than 200,000 troops of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty accounted for half of the Yangtze River naval army alone, and more than seventy percent of the total military expenditure was spent on the Yangtze River naval army Receiving the news that a large fleet was approaching at the mouth of the Yangtze River, the naval army of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was stunned and then assembled in a big way, they definitely did not think that the fleet was from the Han Department, but thought that the large fleet belonged to the Shijie Zhao State.

Shi Hu recruited hundreds of thousands of people to build a ship, with the aim of attacking Murong Xianbei in Liaodong from the sea.

Shijie Zhao Guoxuan's shipbuilding location is on the edge of Qingzhou, and after Liu Yan's rise, Shihu's shipbuilding business is actually untenable.

In the end, most of the forcibly conscripted craftsmen and laborers fell into the hands of Liu Yan, and the rest were brutally drowned.

"What, what" Yu Bing lost his temper, he was stunned and dazed, and he was absolutely confused: "Zhao Jun's sailor" Come on, the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty still doesn't know which side is close to the mouth of the Yangtze River.

Is it to blame the Han Navy for being too far from the shore, not that the Eastern Jin Dynasty Navy was afraid of the capsizing incident and did not dare to send a ship to the sea to investigate:
