Chapter 868 Cannonballs
Fortunately, Jiaozhi was destroyed too quickly, and the various countries' estimates of the strength of the Song Dynasty navy were obviously insufficient.
Srivijaya made it clear that he was not optimistic about the military strength of the Song Dynasty navy to destroy Pu Shima, so he prescribed this prescription so generously, hoping to take advantage of it later.
Hahaha, originally I only wanted to win Singapore, but in the end, it also came with Kuala Lumpur. This is a great tonic. If you don’t want to take it, you have to bite the bullet and take it.
The question now is, should we use our full strength to fight the lion against the rabbit? Should we do it now, or should we wait for the third brother and Zhao Zongyou to come back and then do it together.
Su You couldn't sit still and quickly ran to Ning Haijun to find Wang Shao. What do you think of this matter?
Wang Shao took out the sea map and first told where the two places were.
The data left by Zhang San is very rough. It can be seen that in order to make money, maritime merchants at that time made as few stops as possible and took long-term routes.
However, the coastlines on both sides of Maluka can be roughly connected.
Based on his memory, Su You took a pencil and drew two circles on the chart where Singapore and Kuala Lumpur were: "They are roughly at these two locations."
Wang Shao took a look and said: "Well, military strategists must fight for it. With these two places, the entrance to the South China Sea is in my pocket and must be captured!"
"How to take it?" Su You was a little unsure: "We only have eight ships in total. Including my Feiyu, there are only nine ships."
"That's enough! As long as we can block them in the port, nine ships are enough!"
"Don't make trouble! What I want is total annihilation without leaving any future troubles!" Su You thought for a moment: "How about asking Yang Congxian and the Guangnan Navy to cooperate?"
Wang Shao smiled: "Don't be stupid. If you want to attack the Guangnan Navy, you have to ask for an imperial edict first. There is no time. We have to get rid of Pu Shima before the envoys from various countries return, and declare that the Song Dynasty is in the South China Sea.
national prestige."
"Then what are we going to do?" Su You was used to being a pushover and didn't like to fight this kind of unprepared battle.
Wang Shao said: "You don't need to worry about the military. Call your companions from all over the world. These people have power. If you want to surrender to the Song Dynasty, you must first hand over the letter of surrender. Then use them!"
Su You then remembered that he also had a group of pirates under his command, and felt a little relieved: "It's almost the same, then I'll go to Li Dujian and persuade him to agree to send the army."
Wang Shao said: "If you have enough ammunition, if you don't need a ballista, you can add a ballista to the deck of your Feiyu! There are also ballista shells, please prepare them for me."
Su You turned around and left: "This is easy to handle. I'll prepare as much for you as you want!"
Wang Shao stared: "This is a military order! Give me at least 30,000 pieces!"
Su You waved his hand: "Fifty thousand! Let me turn it over for you!"
"Damn!" Wang Shao even used Su You's catchphrase: "How can you do this?!"
Su You was as pretentious as Wang Shao: "If you can integrate those companions, I can conjure up fifty thousand ballista shells for you. This is called specialization in the art! I'll give it to you in five days!"
It didn’t take many words to convince Li Shunju. He was promoting Haining City Shipping Director. Su You mentioned to him the desire of the maritime merchants of the South China Sea countries for a peaceful trade environment in the South China Sea, and then handed over the financial statements of the South China Sea Materials Exchange Meeting.
After he looked over and checked the map of the South China Sea, Li Shunju followed Su You's idea and went to appease the Tibetan merchants and envoys.
According to Su You, it would not be too late to let them set off after the Song Dynasty military operations were ready and left the port.
So Li Shunju sent the ambassador and sea merchants to the envoys of various countries and sea merchants to send cordial and small banquets on the most close comrades' comrades -in -arms.
Play from the shore to the sea, from the sea to the island, the food and wine, the silk bamboo song blows, and the dozens of beautiful jaches have been made, so that the sea merchants can not think of Shu, and sent an urgent report to their fellow villagers.
Hurry up, in addition to being less thanks to the eunuch, there are a lot of people who are really stupid, come and come quickly!
After only three days, Su Yau prepared Wang Shao for 50,000 crossbow artillery shells.
There is no other reason, the cement can be dry in one day, and then the medicine is also equipped.
Yanyan's coconut oil is added, and the coconut shell that is left is too much.
Coconut was dug away, where it was used to grind beads.
Stick the coconut shell to the outer outer and put on the cement, and pull it on the horizontal edition, which is the shell.
The rice shell is the other thing that can not be too much. The rice shell is dried and grinded into a powder, which is the stabilizer of nitride glycerin. Add some potassium nitrate.
Used on explosive bags and blasting cylinders.
Coconut pores are dug by machines. The size is exactly the same. Su oil is made of cement cover. Usually covered with cement lids, seal with wax, removes the lid when it needs to be used, and inserts the fire tube with fire ropes.
You can use it with a fire rope.
The thunderous mercury used by fire tubes, and the cocks of mercury are the specialties that are famous for the Jin Dynasty.
Wang Shao watched a box of shells moved on the boat: "This drama ... Zhang Xuan borrowed arrows so fast?"
Su Yau is very proud: "This is still picky coconut shell, otherwise there are much more. In the past, those are called artisans, we are now this, called industry!"
After talking about touching my nose: "Although it is still handicraft ..."
Wang Shao said: "I have asked clearly. Pu Shima's navy has obtained a powerful firearm from the big food. It is said that it can spray the fire and fall out of the enemy ship.
Su Yue nodded: "Then we can't let their boats get closer. We also have that kinds of things. The effect is better than them, but our usage is more advanced than them."
"Remember to torture and ask where it came from, it was a liquid mine, called oil, it is useful for us."
Wang Shao asked: "Is the kind of family?"
Su Yau said: "The probability is that kind of thing, otherwise, the cost is too high."
Today's Xixia, forests and grasslands often occur in wildfires. The main reason is not climate change.
Instead, the gasoline found in the oil extraction object is too dangerous whether it is storage or transportation, and it is not very useful to hoard.
So it is usually burned and using pure black smoke to make carbon powder to produce ammunition and ink ingot.
As soon as the southeast wind rose in the summer, it was simply pulled to the grassland of the Xixia people. The burning thing was really spectacular and terrible.
The remaining kerosene, diesel, lubricating oil, asphalt, is a good thing.
Wang Shao spent many years in Shaanxi, of course, knowing this.
Su Yau said: "The rest of the military needs, go to Shen Cunzhong to add, he bought a lot of rice with Zhancheng people there, and canned fish."
Wang Shao nodded: "Then we set off, plus Wei Shi'an's sailor, it is also a mighty."
The military force Wang Shao brought this time included eight warships, including the Taishan Feiyu and the temporarily modified Feiyu. The military force also included the Ninghai New Army and Wei Shou'an's Jiaozhi Old Navy, which used the Jiaozhi Navy.
Surrendered ship.
All the ships at sea were also equipped with ballistae made by Mr. Gao Xiangye, which was regarded as waste recycling.
Wang Shao was appointed as the capital commander, Sun Neng was the deputy commander, and Wei Shou'an was the rear.
Liu Shiheng was the vanguard and had already rushed to Meizhou in advance, taking with him the pirates, no, the companion envoys sent by the Song Dynasty to various countries.
After loading the artillery shells and seeing off the warship, Ning Haijun Pier was suddenly more than half empty. Su You then rushed to the charity house in Jiaozhou City to visit his wife, whom he had not seen for many days.
Tzu Chi Yuan is now a large hospital in Jiaozhou City. It is similar to traditional Chinese medicine hospitals in later generations. The front and back yards, pharmacy staff, and counters are all Chinese-style.
At the entrance is the pulse diagnosis counter of several departments, where several brothers and uncles from Tianshi Dao check the pulse. Behind it is the counter for taking medicine. Behind the counter are drawers and cabinets of various medicinal materials, which take up an entire wall.
The large pharmacy is full of medicinal fragrance. Entering from the side door of the pharmacy is a large courtyard with another entrance and exit. Many patients who need hospitalization are admitted here.
There are also many female nurses, whom Shi Wei found from the large group of widows in Jiaozhou City, and many of them are even family members of eunuch and Houdang officials.
