Chinese The great victory of Hangzhou Bay does not seem to have much to do with the officials of the Liangzhejiang Road, but there are many people staring at this merit, just like later generations, some praise their logistics are good, and some praise their support is effective......

As the first meritorious person, Lord Le's reward for the imperial court is not too much expectation, the Northwest Frontier Army of the Great Song Dynasty did not fight a few battles with the Western Xia, it was a big battle of tens of thousands of people at every turn, and the scene was small and thousands of people beat each other, the so-called Hangzhou Bay victory was a booggy battle in the eyes of the Western Army, at best it could only be regarded as a small-scale conflict.

What does that mean? Some officials will ask. The reason is very simple, the place in Western Xia is too poor, how poor is it? The people of Liao were so poor that they didn't want to fight that place, and the people in that place in Western Xia were fierce, so they would fight there, and the income and expenditure were not proportional, and the gains outweighed the losses. In the eyes of the Great Song Dynasty, there was only one benefit to laying down the Western Xia, and the Western Xia produced horses.

Hangzhou Bay is different, Hangzhou Bay is the famous golden waterway of the Great Song Dynasty, and the value of the property in and out every year is enough to support the annual cost of raising troops in the northwest.

All the officials wanted to see and understand, and Lord Le's intention was obviously to learn from the way the Celestial Dynasty Navy went to the Gulf of Aden to escort ships. Why did the Celestial Empire go to the Gulf of Aden to escort the ship? In the name of protecting merchant ships from Somali pirates, it is actually to expand the international living space and influence.

Rather than falling into Yue and Xiu Erzhou, it is better to fall into the hands of Lord Le, to make it clear, Lord Le is grabbing territory. Having said that, the Yue and Xiu Erzhou naval armies were defeated when they touched the bandits, which was also an important reason for Lord Le.

It is obviously a taboo in officialdom to stretch one's hand to the ground under the jurisdiction of others. The ministers of the court and the central government are no longer arguing about Lotte's merits, but are commenting on whether Lord Le is asking for power from the imperial court.

Of course, Master Le knew that with just a note and a letter to the backer, he could not ask for the law enforcement power of the Hangzhou Navy in the entire Hangzhou Bay, and he had to make some achievements, just like he had copied Wang Yuanwai's house before, and accidentally got the power to control the Hangzhou Navy army.

It is said that after the battle outside Hangzhou Bay, the bandits that were originally very noisy have decreased a lot, and the merchant ships that have not been to sea for a long time have sailed away again.

This gang of pirates tossed for several months in a row, robbed a lot of ships in and out of Hangzhou Bay, and the accumulated wealth was by no means a small amount. As the saying goes, taking advantage of his illness to kill him, how could Lord Le's character miss this opportunity, and after resting, Lord Le will go to raid the lair of the bandits.

"What?" Lord Le is now stationed in the Hangzhou Navy Barracks, and the affairs of Yazhong have been entrusted to the two of them.

Hearing this, Lord Le snorted coldly: "This Hu member is not a man who eats the ancients, this official has never offended him before, but he is against this official everywhere, he used the prefect of the king to suppress this official before, and now he wants to use Lord Cai, the commander of the army and horses, to suppress me, it is really unreasonable!" ”

"You talk to that person, the Hangzhou Navy has no big ships available for the time being, and let that Hu member wait for some time!" Lotte said, thought about it and said: "If you talk to the person who passed the word, you will say that Le asked him to tell the capital eunuch Cai, and in the future, Le will destroy the bandits, and he will naturally return the ship, but in the eyes of the imperial court, the merit of suppressing the bandits is also a share of the capital eunuch." ”

Lotte is white in his heart, since Cai Dujian has left room for speaking, he naturally has to show favor as a subordinate, and Cai Dujian is in charge of all the soldiers and horses, and he also needs the help of Cai Dujian in seeking control of Hangzhou Bay through the Hangzhou Naval Army.

The Hangzhou section of the Qiantang River is divided into two by Hangzhou and Yuezhou by the center line, the northern half of the river is under the jurisdiction of Hangzhou, and the southern half of the river is under the jurisdiction of Yuezhou. In ancient times, Chinese people walked on the left, and boats also drove on the left, but these two ships went down the river and drove on the right. Why is the Great Song City Bosi located in Hangzhou in the north of the Qiantang River instead of Yuezhou in the south of the Qiantang River, one is that Hangzhou is a rich and prosperous place, and the two have a great relationship with the ancient people's sailing habits.

"According to the information heard by the detectives, these two ships are coming from the direction of Jingdezhen, and they are carrying porcelain." Huang Kanzhen replied.

"The boat was on the right side, and often had to dodge, so it was much slower, and it was about ten miles away from the camp." Huang Kan returned to fatigue.

After a short time, Lord Le took the sailors and soldiers on several warships and stopped in the middle of the river to watch. After waiting for half an hour, I saw two large ships with a thousand materials driving down the river on the right side, followed by several Yuezhou naval ships.

Listening to Commander Liao's words, Master Le asked: "Commander Liao, you are an expert in anti-smuggling, can you see what is wrong with these two ships?" ”

Squinted his eyes and stared at the two big ships, and after half a ring, Lotte said: "I'm afraid that this ship is not loaded with Jingdezhen porcelain, but something heavier than porcelain!" ”

Lord Le stared at the two merchant ships going down the river, and said slowly: "The ships that go to sea can carry as many goods as they can, although this ship is fully loaded, but the goods are ridiculously heavy, making the side of the ship very close to the water, when have you ever seen a merchant ship carrying porcelain with so much draft in the past?" ”

According to the knowledge of physics in the junior high school of Master Le's previous life, the specific gravity of porcelain is about the same as that of rock, which is about 2.7, and the goods carried on the two ships in front of him must be greater than this specific gravity, so what is loaded in the body, Lord Le can't guess clearly.

Hearing this, Commander Liao hurriedly stopped him and persuaded him: "Lord Zhenfu, the Qiantang River is divided into two by Hangzhou and Yuezhou, and the south is the boundary under the jurisdiction of the Yuezhou Naval Army, so it's not good to cross the border?" ”
