Chapter 122

Cai's ship is not much different from inland ships, that is, those building ships. Fortunately, at least they know that the sea surface can't be too high. They only built a one-story "building" and enlarged the ship as much as possible.

Not only the Cai family, the boats of all families in Dongmou county are almost the same style, and the difference lies in the size of the boat.

In fact, Liu Yan doesn't like building ships, especially when he knows that the bottom of those building ships is flat. If it weren't for the lack of cross-strait ships, he really didn't want to use these unreliable ships.

Although Cai you repeatedly guaranteed the reliability of sea navigation, Liu Yan did not dare to let them be used to load manpower. In addition to the necessary sailors, they only loaded luggage.

On the Han side, 22 four masted ships, or Kirk sailboats, were dispatched. They were loaded with a large number of manpower and main materials. As the pilot of the fleet, they sailed in the front.

The Bohai Sea is relatively calm near April. It can be seen that the huge fleet is sailing around the miaoshao islands. On the island are Han leaders who keep cheering and waving their hands, and the people on board also keep waving their hands.

Sea navigation is nothing new to most people in the Han Dynasty, but it is basically a short-distance voyage. Except for a very few people, most of them don't have the experience of taking a boat for almost half a day.

"It has been changed. The bottom of the new ship will no longer be flat." Cai you said without any embarrassment: "the style is also changing. I won't be afraid of the wind anymore."

Speaking of, what are the families of Dongmou County doing for so many years? Even what kind of bottom the inland river and the sea should be, they just found out that there should be ballast weight at the bottom of the ship. It seems that they can't be blamed. Some things seem very simple, but they don't understand when they don't understand. The leap of any technology requires not only accumulation, but also a flash of inspiration.

The reason why Cai you's family chose to belong to Liu Yan is not without reason. In addition to Liu Yan's importance, the shipbuilding blueprint of Kirk sailboat is open to them.

People who often go to sea will understand what role a suitable ship will play. They knew better that with those big ships, the Han Dynasty could not be wiped out at all. It would be foolish not to firmly grasp such a profitable thing.

It's a very real situation. Not to mention houzhao, what forces now know about seagoing ships? As soon as the island in the Han Dynasty retreats to the sea, it is basically safe. Then it is time for the Han Dynasty to continue to invade and make the local coastal erosion.

The fleet is sailing at a speed of about two to three knots. Because the land can always be seen, there is no possibility of getting lost.

They began to prepare from Mao (5:00 ~ 6:59) in the morning and set out at the beginning of Chen (7:00 ~ 7:15). After about two hours of sailing, they came to the easternmost end of the island chain of miaoshao islands, which is also called beichenghuang island in modern times.

From the sea area of beichenghuang Island, you can see the land far away. It is called Lushun in modern times. It was called Mashi 1jin in the Western Jin Dynasty and Dazhu or dazjin in the earlier strong Han Dynasty. In the eighth year of Xianhe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (333), Wang Qi and Xu Meng led ships to Murong Xianbei, that is, "Ma Shi 1 jin under the ship", and landed here.

The families in Dongmou county come here every year to trade with some nomadic tribes. They know where mashizin is, but according to them, the port has been abandoned, and there are only a few hunters on the whole peninsula, so there are no people.

Cai you didn't miss everything he could observe all the way. He walked almost the whole ship and asked in detail what the people at each post needed to do.

"Sir, these ships... Don't look like war purposes?" Although Cai you uses questions, he obviously has his insight: "the carrying gravity is strong enough, but the flexibility and speed are not like combat ships."

Chinese shipbuilders have a relatively simple definition of warships. In addition to having sufficient deterrence, they must have the power of human oars to drive, rather than relying entirely on sails.

Kirk sailboat is not a ship that completely depends on sails, but the shipbuilding capacity of Han is limited, so it is obviously impossible to build too complex ships. In fact, it was designed as a transport ship rather than a warship.

Liu Yan is willing to share the blueprint with those families. Doesn't he just want to develop and research together?

It was almost Shenshi time in the afternoon, but the exact time was not exquisite. The fleet arrived at the old port of Mashi 1 Tianjin, led by one ship, and the other ships entered the port in a straight line.

The fleet needs to cross a narrow "ditch". According to Cai you in front of the leader, there are no hidden reefs here. After entering from there, there is a harbor similar to an inner lake.

If you look down from a high altitude, it really looks like an "Inner Lake". The periphery is "wrapped" by an irregular triangle, leaving only a vacancy for entry.

From the "gap" into the interior, at a glance, there is no port in Mashi 1 Tianjin, but there is no beach.

In fact, it's right that there is no beach. The port can still see the beach. The continental shelf is a tendency to tilt down from the shore. In that way, the water will not be deep, and the ship can't dock. It can only stop far away and land by boat.

Do you know what Liu Yan is doing at this moment? He is looking at the map in his mind. He is looking at the terrain, and he is also looking at the sign of no one here. As soon as he checked, he didn't see any signs about people, and he accepted the fact that there were no people within 500 meters at least.

After most of the day's sea voyage, the original ban was lifted at the destination, and those who stayed in the cabin for a long time could finally get on the deck.

The people on the deck breathed the fishy air and stared at the scene of blue sky and white clouds filled with green shade. One began to cheer, followed by the crowd, and immediately cheered everywhere.

"Start landing!"

With Liu Yan's order, the ships carrying tribal armed forces landed first. One after another, the warriors stepped on the wooden board, which was built by the skilled boatman from Dongmou county.

It is one thing for the fleet to come over, because it is another thing to land without a port. In short, it will take no short time.

At the beginning, the necessary troops were allowed to land first, but the materials had to wait for the construction of a simple port. In this way, it was almost impossible to complete each four or five days without tossing.

Most people have no experience of taking a boat. Even if the waves are not fierce during navigation, the boat is stable, but many people will still feel "bumpy" when they get down from the boat to the land.

Liu Yan saw everything in his eyes. Except when the tribe was armed, it had no influence. Only those who were specially concentrated and had sufficient sailing experience. The vast majority of the rest are in a mess when they go to land, and there are a lot of people who kneel down and vomit.

"Sir, I'm afraid I have to consider it." Ji Chang said that he would concentrate the non seasick soldiers: "although the good and bad are not good, but... At least they can fight when they get ashore."

The Han Dynasty is going to invade Koguryo. Even if Koguryo's rear is empty, it should be guarded, right? The soldiers of the Han Dynasty who landed on the shore must have become soft footed shrimps. If they can't give play to one or two percent of their usual combat effectiveness, they will become a slaughterhouse to be slaughtered.

Liu Yan looked at Ji Chang with some worry. His powerful subordinate's face was very pale, his forehead was also full of sweat, and he was obviously seasick.

A lesson from the past is not far away. Cao Cao led the so-called millions of troops to ashes in several battles in Chibi. History books record Zhou Yu's excellent ability in water warfare, but it further shows what the end will be for dry ducks to fight water warfare. It's still in the Yangtze River, not the sea.

"It's all right..." Liu Yan has his own overall consideration: "we still have nearly a year to practice the Navy, and the fearless tribal armed forces will be the first batch of landing forces."

Fearless tribal forces? Ji Chang couldn't help looking at the army quietly on the side of the forest. He was no less confused than before. He had been wondering where his loyal object pulled out such an army for a long time. He had never seen or said anything. It seemed that he was really too fearless!

Of course, although Ji Chang was extremely confused and puzzled in his heart, he never doubted the combat effectiveness of the tribal armed forces and the execution of orders.
