???????????????????????????????
To celebrate the friendly agreement reached between the two countries, Leatherstocking held a grand celebration banquet. Cai@ºì*ÎÄ£€Ñ§%Íø
When the wine was in full swing, Zhao Hu suddenly asked, "Hasn't your king shown his face in the past few days?" "
"Um" Leather Socks dodges his eyes for a while, and finally says, Your Majesty has been feeling cold for a long time and has not recovered, so he cannot accompany you. I hope you will forgive me. However, His Majesty has handed over all power to me."
Zhao Hu chuckled and had no words, but he thought to himself, so that¡¯s it. I said that the emperor of this kingdom didn¡¯t show up. It turned out that he had become Leather Stocking¡¯s puppet. "
Zhao Hu doesn¡¯t care about this kind of dynasty change. He will support whoever is obedient. Now it seems that this leather sock is quite sensible, so he did not pierce this layer of paper.
"Then let your king take good care of his illness. Now the north of Jambi is temporarily under the management of our Song Dynasty. I don't want anyone to engage in piracy in the waters near it. If you let me, the consequences will be serious. "Zhao Hu said with an oath of sovereignty.
Leather socks felt a little cheated, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he just nodded.
¡¡
The next day, Zhao Hu sent a telegram to Yizhou, ordering 5,000 rifles, 500,000 rounds of ammunition, 50 60mm caliber mortars and some grenades to be shipped to Xingzhou as soon as possible.
In the next month, Zhao Hu conducted high-intensity training for the Srivijaya army, allowing them to basically master the operating procedures and combat skills of modern firearms. The rest is actual combat experience.
During this period, the ordered troops were shipped to Xingzhou. Wen Shen was not idle, but directed the prisoners of war in Xingzhou to harvest rubber and increase rubber planting activities.
After several years of production, the rubber planted in Qiongzhou, Annan, and Xingzhou began to produce rubber one after another. It is initially estimated that these rubbers can produce about 5,000 tons of dry rubber every year. As the planting area increases, the output will increase.
When the first batch of rubber was shipped to Yizhou, several modern experts found a treasure. It has to be said that rubber is indeed an important strategic material. Tires, seals, wire insulation**all need it.
Mechanical expert Han Pengfei laughed when he saw this and said to the boss, with these rubbers we can use tires, so that the bicycles we produce can be sold well. "
"Don't just smile smugly. This year is coming soon. How many ships has your shipyard built?" Wen Shen felt that it would be more practical to build more ships now.
"This year, we built a total of three steel-hulled ships, one of which is about 100 meters long, and the other two medium-sized steel-hulled ships, which are about 60 meters long. In addition, we also built six wooden steam sailing ships." Han Pengfei thought for a moment. , replied.
In more than three years, the shipyard built a total of one ironclad ship, three large steel-hulled ships, two medium-sized steel-hulled ships, and a large number of steam wooden sailing ships. The main reason why it can be built so quickly is that Wen Shen provided drawings and welding equipment from various places. In addition, the ships built are relatively simple and do not require weapon systems, so the speed is not bad.
The main reason for building a medium-sized steel hull ship is that there are not enough welding rods, and it is also to test gas welding and riveting welding technology. After testing, riveting and welding are still not successful, but the speed is relatively slow.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?? Wen Shen planned to transfer these two newly built medium-sized steel-hulled ships to Zhao Hu for use, so that he could establish a Nanyang Fleet and be responsible for Nanyang affairs.
It is these two medium-sized steel-hulled ships that are responsible for transporting arms to Xingzhou.
¡¡
In mid-November, three steel-hulled ships gathered in Xingzhou, one large and two small. A huge blue flag was raised on the mast, and the flag was embroidered with a yellow golden dragon swallowing clouds and mist.
"This navy flag is very beautiful. From now on, I will let this blue background golden dragon flag fly all over the world. Let people all over Nanyang know the reputation of the Nanyang Fleet." Zhao Hu said to Wen Shen with some excitement.
Wen Shen smiled proudly and thought to himself, of course, I found someone to design this specially. Of course it's very cool. "
At this time, more than two hundred sailboats of various types gathered at Xingzhou Pier in Shanghai, and the sailboats were filled with swarthy men holding swords and guns. This fleet is Srivijaya's army of more than 10,000 people, preparing to attack the country of Zhunan.
Leather socks came to Zhao Hu in a hurry, and said with a smile, General Zhao, we have finished resting, do you think it is better to set off? "
It turns out that Pi Qing led an army of 10,000 and 200 warships to Xingzhou yesterday, and planned to attack the country of Zunian to the west with Zhao Hu. After a night's rest, they assembled early this morning and waited for the departure order.
"Our Song Dynasty Nanyang Fleet is fast, you can go ahead first." Zhao Hu waved.??, said lightly.
"Well, let's go ahead"
After saying this, Leather Socks resigned, led the fleet to set sail, and headed west.
¡¡
??The Zhunian Kingdom is located in the southern part of the Indian Peninsula. In its heyday, it also controlled Ceylon Island, the Ganges Delta, and the Malay Peninsula. However, its power is now greatly weakened, and its control area has shrunk to the southern part of the Indian Peninsula. As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and its military strength is still quite strong.
Ten days later, the Srivijaya fleet arrived near Ceylon.
Leather socks carefully picked up the telescope hanging on his chest and scanned the distant scene. He spent 10,000 taels of silver to buy this telescope, which is extremely valuable.
"General, do you want to attack Ceylon now?" The general on the side looked at the telescope enviously, his eyes full of passion, and he did not forget the business at the same time, so he asked.
"Well, Ceylon is originally an accomplice of the Zhunian country. Today we will let them and we be powerful."
This Ceylon can be regarded as the peripheral force of Zhunian State, and it is also a favorable springboard for attacking Zhunian State. After occupying this place, you can advance, attack, retreat or defend. The geographical location is very important, and Leather Socks will certainly not let it go.
At this time, he saw that the dock in Kalamba, the capital of Ceylon, was wide enough to berth hundreds of ships, which was very conducive to attack.
Just when they were about to issue an order to attack Ceylon, there was a whistle. Leather socks looked through the telescope and saw the golden dragon flag with a blue background fluttering in the wind. It turned out that the Nanyang Fleet of the Song Dynasty was coming.
The whistle was deliberately sounded by Wen Shen. Seeing that Srivijaya had not yet attacked Ceylon, he slowly relaxed his anxious heart and said to Zhao Hu on the side that we came at the right time. If it were one day later, they could The fight started. "
It turns out that Wen Shen suddenly remembered that Ceylon was already within the sphere of influence of the Song Dynasty, but not the Three Buddhas. If they fight, it will not be beautiful, so he leads the fleet and rushes over.
Leather socks boarded the flagship of the Nanyang Fleet in a small boat and bowed to everyone to pay homage to the Lord."
"Ceylan, please stop fighting." Zhao Hu said very coldly, wearing camouflage clothing, haircut, and round sunglasses.
Leather socks were very surprised by Zhao Hu's attire. Although it was not as luxurious as a silk robe, it looked very energetic and elegant. Of course, his question to Zhao Hu now is also very strange, "General Zhao, why is this?"
"Ceylon is already the protectorate of the Song Dynasty, now you come to the shore with me to rest"
¡¡
The Nanyang Fleet is indeed very conspicuous. Before the three ships docked, the Tamil King learned the news and lined up at the dock to greet them. Now he looks high-spirited, not at all as depressed as before. With the steel swords and machine guns he purchased, he quickly unified all of Ceylon. During the unification war, a lot of gold and silver was also looted. Now he has money and guns and is very powerful.
Of course, all this was given to him by the Song Dynasty. Now that the Song Dynasty fleet is here, how dare he not greet it personally.
"After two years of separation, the gentleman's demeanor remains the same." King Tamil looked a little surprised when he saw Wen Shen, whose appearance had not changed.
Wen Shen chuckled and said, "You are a much richer king." He glanced at the smooth and orderly dock, "But your dock is not built well. It is completely in line with my original vision."
"All of this is thanks to your grace, otherwise I would still be catching wild beasts in the northern mountains and forests." The Tamil king tried his best to force out a self-confessed smile on his slightly fat face.
"This is Mr. Zhao, the commander of the South China Sea Fleet of the Song Dynasty and the envoy of Nanyang Economic Strategy. From now on, he will be in charge of Nanyang affairs and will be stationed in Xingzhou, thousands of miles east."
Now that Wen Shen is considered the supreme commander of the Song Dynasty, he can no longer go wild and thinks it is necessary to give Zhao Hu a serious official position. After much thought, the Nanyang Economic Strategy made this position more appropriate.
The Nanyang Economic Envoy is the highest military officer in Nanyang, controlling all armies of the Song Dynasty in the entire Nanyang region.
"See Mr. Zhao." The Tamil Kingdom hurriedly stepped forward to bow.
¡°No need to give in,¡± Zhao Hu replied calmly.
Wen Shen pointed to the leather socks next to him, "These are the leather socks of General Huaiyuan of Sanfoqi. At this time, they are mainly attacking the country of Zhunian. I want to blame you for the grievances between them."
"I have heard that the country of Zhennan once occupied the capital of Srivijaya twice for decades. The grievances are not ordinary." The Tamil king chuckled.
"You Ceylonese people also contributed a lot to this," Leatherstocking said bitterly.
"Ceylon did contribute, but it was done when the Sinhalese ruled. We Tamils ??have never done it." The Tamil king said lightly.
"He said that not two years ago, it was me who led the army to defeat the Sinhalese army and helped them rise to power." Wen Shen said at the side.Explained.
"So that's it?" Leather Socks fisted, "I offended you just now, please forgive me."
"Speaking of which, this Zhunian country is also our enemy. The main reason why the Sinhalese were able to beat us so badly back then was the support of the Zhunian people." The Tamil king said through gritted teeth.
In fact, the more important reason is the power of the Song Dynasty fleet. If the Song Dynasty and Srivijaya attack the Zhunian Kingdom, they will win a complete victory in ten cases. He could clearly understand the wealth of Nian Country. If he can participate in this combat group, he will definitely gain huge benefits.
Leather Stockings was not stupid. He thought that with one more comrade, he would have a better chance of winning, so he smiled and said, Your Majesty, why don't we join forces to protect the country. "
¡°Very good,¡± the Tamil king laughed.
