Chapter 490: Southern Expedition to the Morning Kingdom

Under the guidance of Qin Feng's two knives, Ma Jun, Huang Chengyan and other Eastern Han Dynasty scientists gave full play to their imagination and actually developed the keel technology in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Because of this technology, an ancient wooden structure of the "strategic ship" was created: the Chaos-class Yedu.

According to later historical records, this huge warship built at that time had a total length of 148 meters, a width of 60 meters, and a displacement of 5,000 tons, which was more than ten times that of the Western three-masted sailing ship in later generations, and was the largest sailing ship in the world at that time. It can go to the ocean and has a battery life of up to one year.

The ship has five decks and four below deck. Erect nine masts and hang twelve sails, and the anchor alone weighs 3,000 catties, and it takes three or four hundred people to set sail. Compared with the largest Zheng He treasure ship in later generations, it is also surpassed.

It is worth mentioning that Zheng He's treasure ship is a merchant ship, while Qin Feng's Chaos-class Yedu is a battleship, a battleship carrying twenty-eight giant ballistas. Huge firebolts, with thousands of arrows fired at once, are capable of tearing apart any other warship of this era.

"Such a huge Zheng He treasure ship is just going to show off its wealth all over the world, what a hell of a waste. If it had been used for aggression, China would have become an empire on which the sun never sets! Qin Feng once scoffed.

However, this giant ship, which can be called 10,000 tons, can carry countless supplies or 5,000 soldiers. Since Qin Feng had no opponent for the time being, he could only waste some money for transporting materials in advance.

Therefore, in the space of two months, this giant ship came and went between Bohai County in Jizhou and Daifang County in Youzhou, transporting a large amount of grain and grass supplies for Qin Feng's 120,000 army. A single ship compares the convoy of tens of thousands of people.

This made the military advisors sigh, and they always said in private: "The lord has such a huge ship, and it will be no problem for the southern lord Jiangdong in the future." ”

This giant ship that constantly appears in Bohai County. It attracted the attention of the secret agents of the princes everywhere. They were shocked and sent the news back in a panic.

The princes everywhere heard it. There are different tables xiàn.

"Idiot Qin Feng, how much manpower and material resources need to be wasted on such a huge ship. I'm afraid that building one will be enough to expand the army by tens of thousands. "Cao Cao's territory is not near the sea, so he scoffs at it.

Liu Bei was shocked and exclaimed: "If Qin Feng is smuggled by sea and land, what can I do!" ”

Strategist Chen Deng's family has a big business, has a restaurant under his command, and often engages in seafood, so he has a certain understanding of the sea. I saw him smile and said, "The lord doesn't need to worry too much, such a big ship has a deep draft." Not to mention that the shallow sea is full of reefs, and there is no wharf like the Northland built along our coast, so Qin Feng's Chaos-level Yedu cannot dock! ”

Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart that the hateful Qin Zijin, what did he think in his head, it was not good to develop the army to unify the world on land, and what kind of warships would he build.

However, Sun Jian of Jiangdong did not think so, and he was shocked when he learned of this. When he convened his subordinates, he shouted, "Qin Feng has such a huge ship. If you go up the Yangtze River against the current, the natural danger of the Yangtze River will be wiped out in an instant! ”

The handsome young Sun Ce is already his father's right-hand man, and he is very clear about ships and water warfare. He was relieved: "Qin Zi has not yet entered the Central Plains, and he will definitely not come to my Jiangdong." In addition, it must be difficult to build such a large ship. Mass production is not possible. And then there's ....... His white face showed a strange smile, and he squeezed his eyes and whispered, "You can steal technical ......." ”

Sun Jian was overjoyed. In this way, capable agents were sent to the north with a large amount of money and goods to steal technology. It's a pity that under the encirclement and suppression of the intelligence guards, the technology was not stolen. The man died, and the money was left in the Northland.

When Sun Jian got the news, he was furious and felt that there was no chance to steal, so he ordered skilled craftsmen to build a giant ship in imitation of Qin Feng's Yedu. Later, one was really manufactured, but there was no keel technology, and the stability was too poor, and after sailing on the Yangtze River for a while, it ended in a sideways rollover and sinking.

Sun Jian had nothing to do, and he couldn't stop worrying, so he began to produce building ships on a large scale, and shouted the slogan: "We must suppress Qin Feng's Chaos-class strategic ships with numbers!" ”

As for the other princes, they were all in the interior and didn't care about the ships at all. After hearing this, he was surprised: "Qin Feng actually has the ability to build such a big battleship!" "That's all.

In China, except for Sun Jian, no prince could have imagined that the birth of the Chaos-class strategic ship would affect the situation of the entire world in the future. Of course, this cannot be blamed on the incompetence of the princes, the ignorant princes have no concept of the world at the moment. In their eyes, the thirteen states of the Eastern Han Dynasty are one qiē and the whole world!

……

In the spring, grass grows out of the already soft soil again, and the trees begin to turn green. In the happy chirping of birds, the earth is revived and spring is in full bloom.

The Qin army, which had rested for a winter, had stockpiled enough supplies, and the 120,000-strong army gathered and began to march towards the land of Sanhan.

History will remember this day, which was China's first foreign war in hundreds of years, a war to expand its territory.

"Comrades, we share the same ambition, which is to expand the territory of our nation! We will use our spears and spears to find more land for our ploughing oxen and iron ploughs, fertile and rich land! Qin Feng rode on the majestic cloud-chasing horse, stationed in front of more than 100,000 people, brandishing a golden Zhenwu Taiji spear. He raised this shameless and weak action of grabbing land to the height of the nation.

Sure enough, more than 100,000 Qin troops were highly motivated, and they vowed to use the weapons in their hands to find more land for the people, so that their children and grandchildren would spread out in the vast land and never go hungry again.

"Long live the Prime Minister!"

"Long live the soldiers of the Qin army!"

"Hooray, hooray!" When the people heard this, the Qin army wanted to find more land for themselves, and they could not support it. So the more than 100,000 people who watched the ceremony cheered and supported their own soldiers.

"Let's go!" Qin Feng exhaled.

In the rumbling footsteps, more than 100,000 Qin troops pulled out, and the dust they stepped on covered the sky and the sun, and the swords and guns reflected the dazzling light like a forest.

This army, which has huge combat effectiveness, has begun another journey.

……

In the early stage of Qin Feng's troops, Gongsun Zhan came to the capital of the Chen Kingdom.

Chenguo is an alliance of Samhan and many states, and the current king is Yu Ji, the monarch of Mahan.

Early morning. In the palace of Muzhicheng, the gray-haired husband Yu Qi was wearing a noble king's costume. A leisurely walk in the back garden. As the king of Chen, he didn't have anything to worry about. Because he has a smart daughter who helps with government affairs.

The attendants followed cautiously, bending as far as they could while keeping their waists straight.

Taking an early morning walk in the vibrant back garden is his favorite thing to do, and he will feel much younger and more energetic throughout the day.

However, at this time, he suddenly stopped, his eyes were full of compassion, and he looked at his feet.

The attendants on the left and right probed their heads and followed the king's gaze. And he saw an ant crawling at the king's feet.

"His Majesty is really a benevolent elder, he can't bear to step on even an ant, no wonder he is embraced." The attendants couldn't help but think.

At this time, an official in the palace hurriedly came here and bowed: "Your Majesty, General Sun Zan of Liaodong has arrived outside the city, and he asks for an audience." ”

"Oh! General Gongsun is here! Hurry up and invite him into the palace, and you go down quickly and prepare for ....... "Chenguo and the Gongsun family, who have ruled Liaodong for a hundred years, have long been good neighbors and friendly, so the husband has to warmly receive Gongsun Zhan.

At this moment, Gongsun Chan had already come to the outside of Muzhi City. and set up camp. The Gongsun family has lived in Liaodong for a long time and has a great influence on Zhuhan, so Gongsun Chan came to Muzhi City at the foot of Daoji Mountain.

In the big tent, Gongsun Zhan took off his armor and changed into orthodox Hanfu. Take care of it up and down and make yourself look as solemn as possible. "Tian Kai, you are good to guard the camp. Mr. Guan Jing. Although you went to the palace of Muzhi Wang, you probed the tone of this husband. ”

Thereupon. After Gongsun Chan finished taking care of it, he took dozens of cavalry with him. Look at the north gate of the city.

Mejiseong Fortress is located on the south side of the Han River, on a rare plain. There are paddy fields outside the city, and the rice that growers have brought from China.

Iron-making technology was introduced to the southern tip of the peninsula from Huaxia around 1000 BC, rice from Huaxia more than 1,000 years after the introduction of iron, and pottery around 1500 BC. As a result, Samhan has a high level of iron-making technology, and iron tools make agriculture easier to cultivate, which also promotes the development of agriculture in the peninsula, and rice feeds the millions of people of Samhan.

The north gate of Muzhi City is guarded by the soldiers of the Chen Kingdom, who wear helmets with edges and hats, stand solemnly with Zhan Ge in their hands, wear leather armor, and hang their swords on their waists, and the tip of the sword is exactly the opposite of the Eastern Han Dynasty warriors.

After opening the city gate in the early morning, the people of Ma and Han in the city went out of the city one after another to start their day's work.

These soldiers of the Morning Army are tall and strong, and they are also elite soldiers. They received an order from Shangfeng to allow Gongsun Chan and his party to enter the city.

After the officer saw Gongsun Zhan and his party in Hanfu, he immediately strode up to greet him, and bowed his hand and said, "Dare to ask, but General Gongsun?" ”

Gongsun Zhan came here after a defeat, and he didn't dare to hold it up, and said politely: "It's General Ben." ”

"His Majesty the King has issued an order, please ask the general to be his own official and his party." The officer said.

Gongsun Chan said kindly: "Please lead the way." ”

So, Gongsun Chan and his entourage followed the officer of the Chen Kingdom to the palace in Muzhi City.

"Your Majesty, the brutal Qin Feng is coming here with an army of locusts under his command. He will seize every land he can see, and he will rule the people of the land brutally, humiliate their sisters, and treat them like slaves. Gongsun Chan slandered as much as he could.

Yu Qi, who has always been compassionate, was shocked, and his relationship with the Gongsun family in Liaodong for many years made him convinced of Gongsun Zhan's words. Said anxiously: "How is this good, we should try our best to hold an alliance meeting to discuss countermeasures!" ”

At this moment, there was a cry of awe from outside the palace, "Princess Sanhan has arrived!" ”

I saw a woman wearing a traditional Samhan short dress and long skirt, walking up to the hall. The slender figure, dressed in a white dress and snow, with skin like condensation and eyes like autumn water, is like a fairy who has been mortal in the nine days, and her clothes are fluttering, as if she will ride the wind at any time.

When Gongsun Chan and his entourage saw it, their eyes were immediately attracted to it, revealing an obsessed look.

This is the eldest princess of Chenguo, the husband of the princess of Sanhan, Yu Na, a wise princess. Most of the things in the Chen Kingdom are taken care of by her, just like the Taiping princess who assisted the mother emperor in the Tang Dynasty in later generations. There has never been a princess who has the title of a princess like Samhan, which shows the prestige she has in Samhan.

She came to the palace to salute her father first, and then looked at Gongsun Zhan, and said lightly: "What this person said is not true, and everyone in the world says that Prime Minister Qin is benevolent and righteous." I'm afraid that the army of the Han Dynasty is here for you, General Gongsun! (To be continued......)
