At this time, Zhang Guoan Island was beaten to death, and he couldn't imagine that things would change like this!

Lu Xiong said proudly: "That Liu Quan, who betrayed the Great Song Dynasty because of embezzlement of military funds, is planning to block people's money all day long...... Hehe, this big war, let him be honest for at least three years, if it weren't for my master's family not wanting to make a big fuss, they would have been served a long time ago! ”

In the introduction of Lu Xiong, Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, did not expect that they really had a big battle with Liu Quan, and this change really had something to do with him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

It turned out that all the Liuqiu cement was declared forbidden by the Great Song Dynasty government, and after the monopoly operation was established, the Great Song Dynasty government could only use the so-called salt to attract the purchase cost of Liuqiu cement...... This is also considered hard currency, with which you can sell salt yourself.

Jinghu Group began to sell salt everywhere...... Salt is indeed a necessity, but the market always has a capacity, even if you reduce the price, it also has a saturation.

Now the well salt has been completely sent back to the west of Sichuan by Haiyan, and Haiyan is developing further west.

Jinghu Group found that it began to need a larger market, and the capacity of a small field was too small, and less than 10,000 horses of cotton and linen were saturated.

The people of this place have learned a new kind of garment, called the padded jacket, which is said to have been taught by cloth sellers.

It is sewn with two layers of cotton linen cloth and cotton inside, so that it is not cold all winter...... It often snows in Ezhou in winter.

There are also cotton gloves, which are put on the hands in winter and do not freeze the hands.

As a result, cotton and linen were sold, and cotton was also sold......

As mentioned earlier. Cotton came in very early, but at first it was used as an ornamental flower...... In the Great Song Dynasty, it began to be planted on a large scale in Fujian, Guangdong, Sichuan and other regions.

By the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, cotton had spread to the vast areas of the Yangtze River and Yellow River basins.

However, the cotton grown in the Great Song Dynasty is all African cotton and Asian cotton, and the quality is not very good. Yields are also low.

However, the cotton seeds provided by Zhang Guoan to the Lu Group are improved varieties of upland cotton in later generations, and the quality and yield are not of the same level.

The generals of Jiangling City and Ezhou City in the Jinghu Group heard the complaints of the businessmen in their families that there was too much salt and too much cotton to sell.

The generals are also worried, they can't force people to buy steel knives, right?!

A merchant came up with the idea: "The north needs our goods more, but they can't buy them!" ”

The generals immediately understood that this was the rhythm of armed smuggling...... Yes, use warships to smuggle north!

Lu Wende is familiar with the Sichuan region. So they often shipped to western Sichuan and northern Sichuan, and they sold well.

But Liu Quan, the provincial governor of Kuifu and the ambassador of appeasement, won't let it, your Lu family is too crazy, don't pay taxes, don't talk about openly arming smuggling with warships!

At this time, Liu Quan, with the strong support of Liu Heima, the envoy of the Chengdu Road Army, was concentrating on making ships and training troops, and Taoguang was obscure.

While stealing the military intelligence of the Jinghu Group in Jiangling, Ezhou, and Xiangfan, he tried his best to imitate the opponent's armament.

When he felt almost ready. He wanted to hit the Lu Group hard.

In the end, he determined the location as Yibin County.

this year. In order to deal with the Tatar cavalry, Guo Hanjie built a mountain city to deal with the Tatar cavalry, and at the same time moved the Zhitong of Yibin County to the mountain city of Denggao, which means that he has given up the waterway.

The Lu Group actually built a trading station here at the same time, carrying out crazy smuggling towards northern and western Sichuan. A lot of goods have been sold to Chengdu!

Liu Quan observed that the Lu group generally dispatched three warships to operate, and he prepared six for this...... He also followed the example of LΓΌ Wende's warship, and used bed crossbows and stone-throwing tools to strike incoming ships.

It's easy to find arson, the kind of iron ball that can explode. He took a few things, and in the end the craftsman was able to cast the walls thinner.

When I finally tested it, it was very powerful!

As long as the number of warships surpasses the other side, there is no fear!

So this friction began------ at the beginning, the three warships of the Lu group really fell into the encirclement of the other party, and when they reached the river in Yibin County, six warships rushed out of the river on both sides!

The two sides did not greet each other and went straight to war, and for a time bows and crossbows flew wildly, and iron balls flew wildly.

The weapons of the warships of the Lu group were farther than the opponent's combat distance, and Liu Quan's warships were a little more than the opponent's, and the two sides fell into the stage of dog fighting.

The cargo on the warship of the Lu Group has a share of the captain and a share of the sailors, and they definitely fight with each other.

Liu Quan's warships are all heroic people who have been singled out, and I heard that whoever robs the goods is whoever owns it, and Lord Liu Cheng doesn't want it.

Both sides fought.

As a result, the two warships of the Lu group were on fire on the river, while Liu Quan's three warships were on fire in a heap------ because their rudders and sails were broken and collided together.

The warship of the Lu group was too late to save the comrades who jumped into the water, so they had to flee in order to save their lives.

Lu Wende was furious and scolded in the case of Jinghu system: "Liu Quan, the embezzler, dared to ambush our ship, and immediately sent more warships to save face on the Yangtze River!" ”

Liu Quan, the provincial governor of Kuifu and the ambassador of pacification, was furious, took the case, and scolded: "Lu Wende, a trader who started by selling charcoal, you have six warships and three of them, and you can let people sink three of your own and let people run back one!" ”

The commander of the navy in charge of this ambush battle said honestly: "It's not that my navy is not brave, but it can't get close to them!" Whenever we tried to jump and take their ships, they beat us with a weapon that resembled a tiger------ and we were killed and wounded! ”

Liu Cheng was stunned and said, "What strange weapons did they come up with?" Have you ever had someone salvage it? ”

"We are organizing manpower salvage, and we will be able to get out of the water in a few days."

At last they salvaged one piece, and told the craftsmen about the situation in the barracks, and it could be smoked with fire and smoke, and there was a loud noise, and countless stones were struck, and the middle of them were either killed or injured.

The craftsman touched the tiger-shaped barrel, sniffed it, and said, "I heard before that they used bamboo barrels to spray gunpowder, called assault muskets------ but they were just changed into iron barrels." ”

Liu Cheng was overjoyed and said, "Can you cast it?" I have a big prize for being able to cast! ”

"Presumably it is not as difficult as casting bells, but the small ones must be cast."

As a result, the second battle became more violent, with a total of thirty-seven ships dispatched by both sides, twenty by Liu Cheng and seventeen by Lu Wende.

This river battle began, and in the eyes of the literati of the Great Song Dynasty, it was a battle of ghosts and gods that shook the earth.

Countless crossbow arrows flew in the sky, covering the sky and the sun; Countless thunderbolts came and went, all like shooting stars!

The water of the Yangtze River is stagnant!

In the end, the face was restored to Lu Wende, and Liu Cheng's twenty warships were beaten with fifteen ships, while Lu Wende only lost five------ neither side jumped close to the ship, but fought from a distance.

Liu Cheng didn't have a crossbow on the pulley, and he didn't have enough gunpowder from the other party, so he suffered a big loss from this gap.
