Compete for the Song Dynasty

After hearing what Wanyan impeached Libo, everyone burst into laughter.This impeachment bowl has always been so carefree, and the elders sit together, talking even more freely.

Wang Pannai shook his head and smiled: "Everyone, I heard from the emperor of the Liao Kingdom that the Song Dynasty sent three thousand soldiers to gather in Dengzhou to attack the Japanese slaves from our waterway."

"Great!" After hearing Wang Pang's words, everyone immediately fell silent.

Wang looked at the crowd: "It turns out that our small fights are like playing games. Whether we fight by ourselves or watch others fight, they are all small tricks. Although Japanese slaves are wretched, as far as I know, they are not so easy to deal with. Besides, we They don’t know much about Goryeo and the Japanese slaves. Although the imperial court has sent troops, they don’t know how strong they are.”

Speaking of this, he looked at Zhe Kejun, "Brother Zhe, the people sent by the imperial court are related to your ancestors. It is said that they are descendants of the generals of the Yang family!"

Zhe Kejun's eyes widened when he heard that: "Ah! That's great, who is it?!"

Wang Pang knew that Zhe Kejun was a descendant of General Zhe Dejian, Zhe and Yang were both from Shanxi, Zhe Congruan and Yang Xin were both powerful locals, and Fuzhou and Linzhou were close to each other.Under the background that Zhe Dejian was 24 years older than Yang Ye and both families were from Wumen families, Zhe Dejian betrothed his daughter to Yang Ye.Zheshi, the daughter of Dejian, is the Zhe (She) Taijun in the story of the general of the Yang family.

The story of such a famous Yang family general passed down for later generations, after a celebrity in the Northern Song Dynasty, now wants to assist Wang Pang in the battle, Wang Pang can't help but feel arrogance.Thinking of this, Wang Pang became more confident in attacking the Japanese slaves.

Wang Pang said: "I heard the news from Yelu Hongji on the Shuangta Mountain. I will leave this matter to Brother Zhe to inquire about it. I heard that this person has come to Liao Kingdom to meet with us to discuss the matter of eradicating the Japanese. Brother Zhe Pay attention to responding these few days." Zhe Kejun accepted the order and said, "Yes!"

Wang Pang arranged again: "Brother He, the envoy from Goryeo will also come to Liao soon. This person is Miss Li Enxi's elder brother. Brother He invites you to meet him some day. We also need to learn more about the current situation in Goryeo."

Wang Pang looked at Jiao Deyou and Wu Ling: "You two are not in the army, you go back to Bianjing to take care of the family affairs."

Jiao Deyou seemed to be thinking about something, but Wu Ling shook his head, and said in a muffled voice: "Family matters, there are my master and others, I will not leave! I don't know how to fight, but I can protect you by your side. Besides , I can also help you and the soldiers repair weapons and armor. Anyway, I won’t leave!”

Seeing that Wu Ling insisted on staying, Wang Pang looked at Jiao Deyou: "Brother..."

Jiao Deyou heard Wang Pang calling him, he came back to his senses, he also heard Wang Pang talking just now, but he was thinking about something, now seeing Wang Pang asking himself, Jiao Deyou said: "Brother, although I am the girl under the moon My righteous brother, but you and I also have a deep brotherhood. I think my father was also a soldier, and he followed General Di. Now, it is my heart that I can fight a beautiful battle with my brother. First of all, it is related to the safety of my righteous sister; Secondly, brother, have you forgotten? Zhou’s shipyard is now building water tanks, but there were also Zhou’s warships in the battle of the Yellow River in the Song and Xia Dynasties.”

Wang Pang hesitated: "I understand what Big Brother means. After all, sailing on the sea is different from the Yellow River and lakes."

Jiao Deyou chuckled: "Brother, you certainly don't know as much as I do. Presumably, you don't know how powerful our navy is in the Song Dynasty. Let's not talk about rivers and lakes, but the Guangnan Fleet and Penglai Fleet are responsible for the coastal defense of the Song Dynasty." Every year, the navy is reviewed at the Zhejiang Pavilion, and I have gone to see it."

When Wang Pang heard this, he became interested. Did the Song Dynasty start military exercises?Although he has been traveling here and there in the past few years, he has always been on the business route, and he has never paid attention to the navy of the Song Dynasty.Everyone also held their breath and listened to Jiao Deyou's story.

"Every time when the navy inspects, there will be hundreds of warships, separated on both sides of the bank, including sailboats, paddle steamers, and car boats. Sailing boats generally use vertical sails, and the unique flat trapezoidal slant sails that can be rotated can Adjust the angle of the sail at any time according to the wind direction; the sail is made of bamboo poles, which is heavy and quick to rise and fall; and it can also sail against the wind, that is, take a zigzag route.

There are more than ten kinds of vehicles and boats.Among them is a 24-wheeled vehicle and boat with three floors of towers, which can carry a thousand soldiers, and has a front ram, which can be used to ram the Song army ships.Warships also have "shooting", which uses long wood as a pole and a huge stone at one end. Usually, a hook is used to hook one end of the wooden pole. The huge stone is lifted high. When the enemy ship approaches, the hook is suddenly released, and the huge stone falls quickly If the enemy ship is within the killing range, it can be damaged or even sunk.

The largest boat is twenty or thirty feet long, and it can carry horses, and soldiers wield knives and guns on it like walking on the ground. "

Listening to Jiao Deyou's narration, the scene of colorful flags fluttering, the sound of water roaring, and people cheering and morale boiling appeared in front of Wang Pang.I really didn't expect that Song Guo's navy army was so powerful.This made Wang Pang couldn't help being a little excited, wishing to see this scene soon.

Jiao Deyou saw the eyes of everyone next to Wang brighten up, he smiled and said: "I definitely want to go this time, brother, you don't know, I really want to have the opportunity to rebuild a warship by myself, the current big ship, Iron nails and tung oil, ships are all made of empty boards bound by rattan. Dry the madder grown on the sea and add it to the crevices of the rattan. This kind of operation will rise when it encounters water, so the boat will not leak. I always think, don’t Leakage is not the most important thing, apart from being leak-free, a warship must also be strong."

Hearing this, Wang was even more interested. He suddenly remembered the fish-scale structure, so he asked Jiao Deyou: "Brother, I have never sailed a boat, but I have an idea. Listen to it: For example, our boat will be changed into a boat in the future. The hull plates are not flat joints, but lap joints. This kind of staggered shell plates are closely connected, have high overall strength, and are not easy to leak.”

When Jiao Deyou heard it, he said, "Brother, you want to go with me! You really deserve to be my brother!" [

Wang Pang laughed out loud when he heard this. This was another technological reform in the Song Dynasty. Thinking about it was even more exciting: "Okay! When we win this time, we will realize the big brother's dream. We will build the best one later." Come out with the boat! Since Big Brother knows so much, I will leave the logistics support of ships and weapons to Big Brother and Wu Ling!"

"Okay!" The two of them became excited when they heard that Wang Pang was leading him to the expedition.

Zhang Ping pouted and asked: "Wang Shilang, you have already arranged for them, what are Brother Han and I doing?"

Wang Pang looked at the two of them and smiled: "What you have to do is very important. After the Yang family has a round with us, I will make specific arrangements for sending troops. Zhang Ping is responsible for the supply of food and grass, and Han Derong is responsible for timely feedback of rear information."

After Wang Pang finished speaking, he looked at the crowd, and several of them were eager to try their hands. On the contrary, Wang Pang himself found that there were many people around Hula Hula, but when he really needed people, he realized that there were not enough people before the fight started. of.What's more, now I only have a few generals to serve as soldiers, and I have no soldiers under my command.So it seems that building a team of your own is very important.

The small party and the celebration banquet were over, and I was busy with my own business.Wanyan impeached Libo to stay and told Wang Pang another thing: "Brother, I came back this time with my father. My father wants to see brother."

"Oh, brother, why did you say this so early? Come on, I'll go with you to see uncle." He stood up as he spoke.

"Okay, I'll invite my father to come!" Saying that, Li Bo was about to leave.

Wang Pang hurriedly said to him: "Brother, how can I let my uncle come to see me? The elders and children are in order. You and I are friends of Jinlan, so I should go to see him. Besides, uncle is the great chief, so it is also appropriate for me to see him in terms of etiquette." It should!"

Seeing Wang Pang treat his father and son like this, Xie Libo was very moved: "My brother is not in vain! Let's go, see our father!" He said and pulled Wang Pang out of the big tent.

When the two came to the post station, there was an elder sitting upright in a guest room, and there were two other people in the room, so the impeachment bowl was hurriedly introduced to the king.Needless to say, that elder is Wanyan Wu Gunai, the father of Wanyan Xie and Wanyan Libo.

When Wang Pang saw this person, he couldn't help but praise in his heart: the so-called tiger father and dog son can be seen when he sees the impeachment bowl.His father, Wanyan Wu Gunai, should be around 50 to [-] years old. He is middle-aged and mighty, with long sword eyebrows and tiger eyes.If you put aside the fact that the golden cavalry trampled on the Central Plains, the current Wanyan Wugu is father and son, and they are definitely reputable heroes.

Wang Pang hastily bowed his hands and saluted, saying that his uncle was above, and that his nephew Wang Pang came to see him.

Wanyan Wugu Nai had long heard that his second son Wanyan Huanlibo had such a brother, and he had always wanted to meet him. He saw Wang Pang at a young age, well educated and reasonable.Moreover, standing with his son who was five years old and three years old, Wang Pang looked gentle and gentle, quite like a Song Dynasty talent.Thinking of Wanyan impeaching Li Bozi's marriage in Song Dynasty, and this time because of his son's status, Song Guohuang had an excuse to envoy Wang Pangzhi to Liao Kingdom, and he felt a little guilty.He hurriedly ordered to give up his seat to the king.

Xie Libo introduced two other people, one was Wang Pang's acquaintance, Xie Libo's elder brother Wanyan Xiezhe;

Several people were seated, and the attendants accompanying the tribe re-delivered tea to Wang Pang and the others.Wang Pangcai said: "I don't know that my uncle and my elder brother came to Dading Mansion together this time, and we are far away. I hope my uncle will forgive me."

Wanyan Wugunai smiled: "What did my nephew say, this time the Wanyan tribe was summoned by the emperor, and was also crowned King Jurchen, thanks to my nephew's skillful planning, my tribe made such a rare achievement. "

Wang Pang suddenly realized: "So uncle is here to accept a reward? Then my nephew congratulates uncle first."

Wanyan impeacher said: "It is the first time in the history that the Jurchen tribe has been valued by the Liao Kingdom. In the past, the Liao Kingdom only had the South Court and the North Court, which were in charge of the Liao people and the Han people. The Bohai Navy also quelled some of the rebels in the Jurchen tribe. Now the emperor of the Liao Kingdom has specially set up the Jurchen Kingdom’s Grand Palace, and named our father the Jurchen King. This is thanks to Wang Xiandi who anticipated the Tokyo rebellion and planned a strategy to allow our Jurchen tribe to have this honor .”
