Chapter 1372

As Tong Guan returned to the port of Jiaonan, the news that the female Naoto was preparing to attack the Liaodong Peninsula was transmitted back to Bianliang, Tokyo.

After Wang Yang received the news, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Di Gubao's impression on him is too unreliable, except for being more honest in business, in other aspects, Wang Daguan really doesn't know how to describe this goods.

Zhao Xu, the Son of Heaven, Su Dongpo, the Prime Minister, and the privy envoys Zhang Qi and Wang Yang gathered again in the imperial study, and on the ground of the imperial study, a huge map was placed.

It was a map that included the Jiaodong Peninsula and the Liaodong Peninsula, as well as many surrounding islands, and Wang Yang stood next to the map and talked about it.

"This time, my Great Song Dynasty has already given an ultimatum to Nadi, and now, because of the perennial fierce war with the Northern Liao, and because of the elongated battle line, more and more troops have been invested, and the little things produced by the old and weak and women and children alone have long been unable to meet their survival needs.

In addition, the food given to the female straight people in the Great Song Dynasty was half sold and half given, and they were able to obtain enough food and other daily necessities at a low price, which naturally made the female straight people more free to fight against the enemy of Northern Liao......

Now, at least two-thirds of the rations and most of the salt supply of the women's direct departments are completely supported by our Great Song Dynasty.

Once my Great Song Dynasty cut off its grain, grass and salt, on this green and yellow joint. Even if the female straight people save food and reduce their use, it is not enough for them to support until the autumn harvest season, not to mention, even if it is the autumn harvest season, the rations they can obtain are at most enough for them to support their clan for two to three months. ”

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

"So, now my Da Song has given an ultimatum to the female straight. Faced with the danger of running out of food at any time, the female Naoto has no choice. Now because of several years of war, the Northern Liao Tokyo Province has already been eroded, and the population is about to escape, and the original farmland is already full of weeds, even if they want to plunder, there is no place to loot.

Therefore, the female straight people can only obediently be threatened by my Great Song Dynasty, and they have to fight, only by taking the Liaodong Peninsula and obediently giving it to me to the Great Song Dynasty, can they continue to get enough food from the hands of my Great Song Dynasty and continue to fight against Northern Liao. ”

"No wonder Wang Wushan, you have always insisted on doing grain business with that female direct department, it turns out that the root is here......" Su Dongpo, the old driver, naturally understood the conspiracy of Wang Yang, a treacherous and sinister young man.

"This is natural, the female direct departments are too far away from my Great Song Dynasty, and the force of my Great Song Dynasty is not a threat at all to the female direct departments that are separated by a Northern Liao in the middle."

"But sometimes war is not just about the use of force, resources can also be tools of war." Wang Yang sniffed and said very proudly.

I have to say that this can be regarded as the one thing he has been planning for the longest time in this era.

Zhang Qi stroked his long beard and shook his head again and again. "In the Tokyo Road of Northern Liao, except for the rich places around Liaoyang Prefecture, almost all the people in the rest of those places have almost fled.

It can almost be said that it is a poor mountain and a bad water, and there are no people, and after Northern Liao has suffered several losses in the hands of the female straight people before, the strategy adopted now is to shrink the defense, so that the female straight people can only invest more manpower to maintain the defense line, so as not to be full of loopholes, and the heart guard let the Liao people take advantage of the loopholes. ”

"What's more, even if Di Gubao really doesn't make a move, then, with the strength of my Great Song Dynasty's current navy and Wanhong Trading Company, I am fully capable of transporting 10,000 heavily armed Song soldiers to the Liaodong Peninsula at one time, cutting off the connection between Liaoyang Prefecture in Northern Liao and Ningzhou and Xiazhou......"

"Master Zhang is reasonable, but this is the last resort." Wang Yang nodded, but shook his head again and explained. "After all, if my Great Song Dynasty can not have a direct conflict with Northern Liao, then it is best not to conflict. It is still important to accumulate strength. ”

"Well, now my Great Song Dynasty's Jiaodong Naval Division, oh no, it should be called the Jiaodong Navy, and now there are five 5,000 warships, 30,000 warships, and about 50 sea ships under 2,000 materials.

There are a total of 25,000 naval officers, and it can be said that almost sixty percent of the naval warships belonging to our Great Song Dynasty military are gathered on the Jiaodong Peninsula. ”

Hearing that Zhang Qi said that he was sincerely proud and proud, Wang Yang couldn't help but pout secretly, but on the surface, he didn't want to hit this Privy Council boss of the Great Song Dynasty, so he didn't complain.

In the past, the sailors of the Great Song Dynasty, yes, there was only one way to say that whether it was the Dongting Lake Naval Division, the Yangtze River Naval Division, or the Yellow River Naval Division, all surface troops were uniformly called the Naval Division.

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

Wang Yang remembered that when he first proposed the idea of fighting the Liaodong Peninsula, Su Dongpo and Na Zhang Qi both expressed their opposition, one of the important reasons was that the sailors were too expensive, and most of the sailors of the Great Song Dynasty were in rivers and lakes, and there were very few sailors on the sea.

And after Wang Yang, a giant of the Great Song Dynasty, donated four 5,000 materials and 10 3,000 materials to the Jiaodong Navy of the Great Song Dynasty for free. Coupled with the strong support of Zhao Xu, the Son of Heaven, it was decided to start vigorously developing the navy of the Great Song Dynasty.

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

The shipyard in Jiaonan has also contributed a large ship of 5,000 materials and four sea ships of 3,000 materials. After all, although Wang Yang sent the warship to the court for nothing, it was impossible to always pay for it.

He prefers to let his shipyard build more ships, hone his skills, and build more and better, stronger, and faster sailing ships.

You know, by the Southern Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty had countless sea ships, but the reason for this was that they were forced, because at that time, the Great Song Dynasty had almost lost the land north of the Yellow River, in order to be able to obtain a lot of wealth, in order to maintain the peace of the coastal areas of the Great Song Dynasty, not to be from the sea by the strong enemies in the north, so they could only build ships on a large scale.

In this case, it is not up to Wang Daguan to use the abundant resources to create the Great Song Dynasty Age of Exploration in advance.

You know, when Columbus embarked on his initial expedition to discover America on August 3, 1492, the Spanish expeditionary fleet consisted of only three ships: Santa Maria, Pinta, and Nina.

The largest, the Santa Maria, is the flagship. The Santa Maria has a hull of about eighteen meters, a keel twelve meters long, a beam six meters long, a hold (from the keel to the deck) three meters deep, a load of about one hundred tons, and a displacement of two hundred and fifty tons.
