2921 Civilization (3)
The shadow of the sun is invisible in the thick and ink-like gloomy sky, and the air is filled with dry, cold and bleakness before the heavy rain comes.
Song Que, the head of the Song clan, stood on the rock wall, staring at the boundless vast sea in front of him. The wind blowing through the waves on the sea like a comb, like lines rolling forward gracefully, like a pair of invisible hands gently caressing the sea surface.
"Did the Aden people really come across such a vast sea?" Song Que put his hands behind his back, his flashing eyes retracted from the sea, and turned to look at Song Lu, who bowed behind him, bowed and bowed behind him.
"It is indeed from the opposite sea. It is said that the kingdom of the Aden people is thousands of miles away. If you walk from 6 grounds, it will take at least half a year. If you pass by the sea, you can reach southern Zhongbiya in two months." Song Lu respectfully took out a token and put it on the ground. This is the order of the head of the family, and it is the identity sign that represents the family's foreign negotiations. If the order is issued, there must be a order to return, otherwise it will be regarded as betrayal of the family.
This is the experience left by the painful lessons of the Song clan. In order to dismantle the power of the Song clan in the southern mountains, the Zhongbiya court also bribed some of the people in the Song clan when planning the split of the Long family in the southwest. It attempted to take advantage of the split of the Long family's Western Army to divide the Song clan into the Song clan in the mountains and the Guiliushan people who were willing to move out of the mountains. If it were not for the decisive leader of that generation, the Song clan's rule over the southern mountains was almost overturned. That time, more than 600 direct descendants of the Song clan were finally executed in one breath, including the two sons of the head of the family. Since then, the Song clan members who did not have the order of the head of the family, if they had no order of the head of the family, they would be regarded as family traitors if they had arbitrarily negotiated on behalf of the family to foreign affairs!
"You are the third person in the family, and you are still an old man who has been in charge of the Song clan fleet for 20 years. Although you have stepped down and turned to be responsible for the family's internal affairs, if the Song clan has some experience in fleet combat, I really can't think of anyone else besides you and I." Song Que hesitated for a moment,
Before he finished speaking, Song Lu's body trembled slightly, his knees knelt on the ground, and his face interrupted Song Que with a slightly awkward expression, "Head of the family, I have been in charge of the fleet for three years! And even I have no experience in fighting at sea! This battle is extremely dangerous, and it is related to the foundation of the Song tribe's rule in the southern mountains. My subordinates dared to suggest that the family fleet should not participate in the war!" He knew that the head of the family intended to be appointed as the commander-in-chief of the fleet this time, but thinking about the recent situation of the family fleet and the weak appearance of the imperial fleet, Song Lu's heart was beating, "You mean, let the imperial fleet deal with the Aden people?" Song Que was stunned for a moment, and hesitated. He didn't expect that Song Lu was so dissatisfied with the family fleet. As the head of the family, Song Que also felt a little uncomfortable on his face. He hesitated and said, staring at Song Lu with bright eyes and asked.
"Since the southwest Long Family gradually became alienated from the Central Biya court, the waterway close to Luzhou has also given up most of the pressure from the upper reaches. The pressure from the two lines of the upper reaches is no longer as before. Therefore, the fleet built by the family to compete with the central government has been used as transportation. The latest warship launched was built ten years ago to celebrate the birth of my youngest daughter. This time, it is a real confrontation with the sea overlord Aden people. To be honest, is the Imperial Navy really so unbearable?"
"The person in charge of the family fleet is the boy ****. Although he is the leader of the fleet, he actually ran one or two waterways to the southwest. When he left the sea, he would be very good to stand on the ship without rolling. As the opponent is the Aden warship that crossed thousands of seas. This is completely the difference between Xindian and the warriors who have been through many battles!" Song Lu said word by word.
"This time it's really dangerous. The Adens have been scattered on the sea for decades, and the warships are as high as a city tower. How can they just find a fleet to deal with it? The result of the Empire Fleet is not important. These aliens will die if they die. There are thousands of people in the family fleet, and with the family members, I'm afraid that more than tens of thousands of people will be there. If these thousands of people die on the sea because of this, the head of the family will really become the sinner of the family! As for the Empire Fleet, although they are not the opponent of the Adens, if they just delay, they can still do it!"
"It seems that you really don't think much of the family fleet!"
Song Que's eyes flashed with a trace of gloom, and he sighed helplessly, "It's a pity that the order has been issued. A day later, the family fleet will head south from the Luoling Waterway and finally meet with the Empire fleet in Linshanshuiwan. Even if the fleet may be completely destroyed this time, the order cannot be changed!"
"Head of the family! Please take back the order. The family has just recovered some of its foundation. You can't lose it like this." Song Lu let out a wail and hit the ground with his head heavily. He finally knew the reason why the head of the family sent him to negotiate with the Imperial Navy, because if he was there, according to his influence on the family fleet, the head of the family could not be implemented. As long as he thought that the lives of thousands of Song clan children had been placed on the altar of the family victims, Song Lu's eyes were red.
"You should know that this matter is already on the string, and you have to!" Song Que's face looked decisive.
Song Lu couldn't help but say anxiously, "Although I don't want to fight the head of the family before the war, I must tell the truth that the Imperial Navy warships are simple and insufficient tonnage, so it's okay to drive in the inland rivers. If they really go to sea to fight, they will be eaten by the Adens, and then the family fleet will..." Song Lu's voice stopped, and he wanted to speak but stopped.
"No need to say this! The 30,000 family army has been pressing on the coastline for half a month. The people of Aden have been 6 more and more frequently, but the location is always difficult to capture. The family army is running on the thousand-mile coastline. In the family, some people have already proposed to give up the coastline and move all the mountain people in the coastal area into the inner world. "You know what this means!" Song Que waved his hand suddenly, looked up at the gloomy sky, the sea breeze blew, and said in a voice that "the nearly 200,000 fishermen near the coastline will enter the mountains, and besides other native land.
The mountain people with small lands compete for land. Have you ever thought about such consequences? I gave up more than a hundred miles in front and then gave up more than a hundred miles. In the past few decades, there are 1,600 miles of mountains in the south. How many are there left now? "" There is no way out for this battle. If the Song clan does not lead the way, how can I command the mountain clans? If the lives of thousands of Song clan children can be exchanged for the hundreds of miles of coasts, even if they all die, everything will be worth it. As for sacrifice, what else can I say, because this is the life of their children of the Song clan!"
Song Que left with a blank look on his face. Song Lu knelt on the ground with a vast face. The black on his head seemed to have several white pieces. Behind him were the increasingly violent waves of the sea under the gloomy sky. He hit the cliff like a beast, making a collision sound similar to the roar of a beast. A white crystal clear dispersed to all sides.
In the common thinking of the Central Bi Asians, the sea is not for exploration and conquest, but for gods, the sea is the limit of the extension of the Great 6, so there is the saying that the end of the sky and the corner of the sea is that the Central Bi Asians have connected the boundless oceans, which has allowed Ming to avoid marine civilization. Although foreign trade has never stopped doing business and trade, even if the foreign merchants who cross the sea earn more money, they finally boarded the ship and left under the pitiful gaze of the Central Bi Asians.
"These poor aliens who left their hometowns came here from afar just to make more profits. Forget it, just think it's just beggars. There is no need to be serious with these poor people."
The Central Biyans cannot see the value of the ocean, let alone establishing navies that control the seas. At most, they will build several fleets to engage in transportation, scare and scare the savages on nearby islands, and show the majesty of the Shangguo. There has never been a concept of control.
So when the Adens' navy defeated the barrier of the Navy of the South Asian Empire, it expanded from the Aden sea to the Central Bayian waters. What was presented to the Adens was this golden sea that could reach the Fuluo Dongda 6. It was like a broken rope discarded on the roadside, and was held in the hands of the Adens. Over the past few decades, after a few brutal blows from the Aden Navy, the merchant ships of the South Asian Empire disappeared, and Bai Geli's fleet disappeared. In the end, the fleets traveling between the Central Bayian and Nanba 6 were only the Aden fleet with the moon flag flying. When these merchant ships turned into warships, the Central Bayian region realized for the first time that the vast sea was a terrible battlefield!
"Commander, just fight a semi-transported Aden fleet. The brothers can handle it themselves. These Song tribe fleets are completely dragged down." At the port of the Imperial Navy, the Admiral of the 12th Fleet, Katis, was opening an emergency report sent from the Navy. His adjutant was complaining that the Song tribe fleet was completely dragging down.
They are all soldiers who have experienced many battles in the Imperial Navy. They have long seen what the Song fleet is. The combat mode of the Central Bia fleet is obviously still stuck in the jumping ship hundreds of years ago. Even the navy in the North Obaro region was so fiercely pulled by the Imperial Navy that it could not find the navy in the north, it has evolved from this simple model of competing human power to the attack using large equipment.
The heavy stone caster with a long range, a fireball that can burn, directly pierces the metal-covered corner of the opponent's warship, and a heavy lifting and falling, and can cut the heavy platoon in the middle of a warship. It is said that the Aden Navy also has a very terrifying fuel injection ship, which is an incomparable weapon against close combat and sideways. It can be used to point a warship into a class torch on the sea in one minute. It can be imagined what the outcome will be if these Central Asian ships loaded with combat troops will be held up. The human competition will be despised even if it is placed in the Obarro area, but the Central Asians regard it as the only combat mode.
God, will I fight with such allies? When Thor was still firing at a long distance, these guys rushed forward in a swarm? If these Chinese and Biyans jumped onto the other side's warship to fight, would they fire or not? The hull ignited by the other side crashed along the water flow, would they sink decisively or disperse the entire bombardment queue!
"Okay, don't complain. I have no intention of letting the Song clan fleet go to sea. Although the Song clan fleet is of no use, it is better than people. At least it can be used to clear the battlefield!" Katis closed the report in his hand with a smile. The report came from the Imperial Navy Department, which explained the reason why the Aden people were suddenly crazy recently. It turned out that the Imperial Cavalry had a big chrysanthemum in Cornelia. The food and food of hundreds of thousands of people were burned clean. It's no wonder that the Aden Navy was crazy and even had to bite the area with such a barren coastline in Zhongbya.
The Adenites issued an order to raise food to the whole country and obtained food through all channels. Even the daily affairs of the King of Aden were said to have reduced the original sixty dishes to fifty-nine dishes. For the Adenite royal family, who always liked to declare their luxury to the outside world, it was already a slap in the face.
"It's all the subordinates who are incompetent and have not allowed His Majesty to eat sixty dishes!" Katis thought of this scene in his mind. A servant in the King's Palace dressed in gorgeous red clothes shouted and stabbed his chest with a sword, lowered his head to his chest. For this reason, more than 300 servants in the King's Palace apologized for the shame of the king. A few jokes appeared on the report of the Admiralty.
Katis knew that this was the guys from the Admiralty mocking the Adens,
Katis was born in the Empire's Admiralty and had a lot of dealing with Aden merchants during his empire. The most popular Aden merchants in these gorgeously dressed Aden merchants were that their king had sixty dishes for a meal, and pigs, cattle, sheep, etc., only the tenderest bits, cherishing birds and beasts, and even elephants and rhinos.
The tableware for eating food is all made of gold and ruby, and the cups for drinking are human skulls inlaid with countless gems and diamonds. Moreover, the King of Aden basically took a bite of the dish and ordered people to take it down. It was definitely not worth the second bite, and he would never eat the duplicate. At that time, Catis thought that this was still a human being, and he didn't know how the chefs could survive.
The Adens are proud of luxury, and often use this to mock the locals in the Falcon Empire. The dignified imperial emperor is said to have not even ten dishes in a meal. It is so shabby! The Admiralty used this as a joke in the general order, for this reason.
"Has the Navy's combat order been issued?" the adjutant asked anxiously. If he did not have an order, he would go to war without permission. The consequences were quite troublesome.
"No, the combat orders were not mentioned above, but it was not said that you should never go to fight!" Katis shrugged and handed the report to the adjutant. He came to the position of the ship window and looked at the darker and darker sky outside. This is a sign of a storm. What if the Adens changed the route?
"What does that mean?" The adjutant read the result report several times, blinking his eyes but couldn't understand it.
"Precisely because I didn't say anything, it means everything." Katis came back from the window and looked at the confusing adjutant. "Don't forget that the empire has issued a notice to declare war on Aden, so what kind of combat orders need to be issued?"
