A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 1845: Powerful Warship

"The Seljuk envoys arrived in Dashi, and the king of Dashi asked them for help, saying that they would jointly resist the Song Dynasty."

Chang Jianren felt that this situation was not a good thing, "The captured cannibal said that the Seljuks were very fierce, and the Song Dynasty was no match."

"Why are you worried about this?" Shen An asked: "After seeing the power of artillery, do you think Seljuk might be able to stop it?"

Chang Jianren shook his head, "But if we go to sea all the way..."

"Can't warships transport artillery?" Shen An felt that Chang Jianren was a little confused. "We use ordinary warships to transport soldiers and artillery, and use artillery warships to protect them. Once we land, artillery is the master. Jianren, think about it, when the army of the Song Dynasty broke into the land, the artillery was followed behind by the horses... what was that scene?"

Chang Jianren fantasized, "Just like the Liao people."

"Are the Liao people our opponents?"

"Do you want to... go on an expedition?" Chang Jianren thought for a long time before he thought of the word expedition.

"Why not?" Shen An said: "The goods of the Song Dynasty must find a bigger market, and the Seljuks have blocked our trade routes, so we have to give them a powerful force and let them go to the west to fight."

Zhao Shu came and asked, "What is this called?"

Shen An said: "I think this is called the pioneer of the king."

Let the Seljuks clear the way for the Song Dynasty. When they are exhausted, the Song Dynasty will come out to clean up the mess.

"lets go."

Everyone mounted their horses and set off. Zhao Xu and Shen An were together and whispered: "My life has been very comfortable recently."

"You have to thank me." If Shen An hadn't revealed the hidden danger behind it, Zhao Xu would still be living a miserable life now. "By the way, what do you think of that child?"

Shen An is also worried about this problem. If Zhao Xu is dissatisfied with the child, there will be trouble in the future.

"I have been reading poems and articles to him for so long. If he is a boy, he must be a good one."

Zhao Xu said with some longing: "I will teach him how to read the map and how to deal with those courtiers... I feel happy just thinking about it."

Damn it!

Shen An thought that Zhao Xu and his son would work together to drug the ministers, and he felt that the Song Dynasty was about to collapse.

Will the second generation of Yaohuang become an enhanced version?

Thinking of this, Shen An decided to remind Taro and Edamame to keep a distance from Zhao Xu's son, especially to pay attention to their diet and beware of the father and son drugging.

All the way out of Bianliang City, we went along the Jinming Lake. When we reached the wide area, we saw a long line of warships docked beside it.

"I've met the officials."

Qin Zhen was already waiting. After saluting, he said: "The warship is ready. We are just waiting for the officials to board the ship."

Zhao Shu nodded and walked over first.

Qin Zhen deliberately slowed down, and when Chang Jianren stepped forward to salute, he supported him and whispered: "Jianren, congratulations."

Chang Jianren wanted to ask what congratulations were, but Qin Zhen had already hurried over.

All the way to the dock, Zhao Shu looked at the warship and said, "It's just bigger than the previous warships."

Shen An didn't explain, and said, "Let's wait until a spacious place to try it."

Everyone got on the boat, and then more than ten warships left the dock and gradually moved away.

More than half an hour later, the front became wider, and Qin Zhen came to ask for instructions.

Zhao Shu said: "I don't understand this. I just want to see the power of artillery at sea. Just give it a try."

Shen An said: "In this case, prepare some targets on the shore, and get two boats below to serve as targets."

Qin Zhen asked: "Is this a fight between water and land?"

"Of course!" Shen An said: "The navy should not only fight on the water. This time Chang Junhou led the troops to land and defeated the enemy in one fell swoop. This is a classic example. Those soldiers of the navy who had previously practiced in Dengzhou , just to be able to go on an expedition across the sea.”

"Isn't that for the Liao Kingdom?" Qin Zhen was a little confused.

Zhao Shu said: "This matter has been discussed between the DPRK and the Central Committee, and we are just prepared for any danger. Originally, we were planning to deal with the Liao people and fight directly across the sea, but after the success of the Northern Expedition... huh?"

He suddenly looked at Shen An, "You said at that time that you would cross the sea and directly attack the Liao people's Tokyo Road. Later, after the Northern Expedition was successful, you strongly advocated attacking the Xijing Road first and leveling the Song Dynasty's territory in the north... I think about it now, you are Premeditated?"

"I don't have that!" Shen An looked innocent, almost swearing.

"No?" Zhao Shu sneered: "Tens of thousands of troops are tossing on the sea, and the sea from Dengzhou to Tokyo Road is filled with vomit. You actually gave up your claim. What have you been thinking from the beginning? Are you going to have a big meal?"

Shen An smiled dryly under his gaze and said, "My lord...my lord..."

"What?" Zhao Shu said heartbrokenly, "You are so cunning at a young age and it gives me a headache. What will happen in the future?"

Han Qi coughed dryly and said, "Your Majesty, Shen An's move can be called cunning, and I think he should be punished."

As he said this, he gave Shen An a wink, and Shen An quickly apologized.

There is no way, there is too much credit, so let’s go get some.

Shen An was very cheeky and didn't care. Zhao Shu snorted coldly, "I'm not that shameless. Credit is credit."

Shen An was immediately moved and felt that Old Zhao was indeed a good man.

"Your Majesty is wise and mighty, my minister..."

"Stop your flattery." Zhao Shu said angrily: "I can be happy even if other people pat you, but you can't. I feel fake when I hear it."

Nothing!

Shen An glanced at Han Qi, and Han Qi said helplessly: "Last time you praised me, your eyes looked like you were praising a cow."

puff!

Zeng Gongliang in the back burst into laughter.

Zhao Shu couldn't help but laugh.

Han Qi sighed: "Your Majesty, at that time I absolutely felt that he was just flattering a cow."

Chang Jianren felt that this was a bit dizzying, and was even more curious that Han Qi's attitude towards Shen An was becoming more and more easy-going.

This is a good change.

Targets were being prepared on the shore, and two boats were moving slowly downstream.

The sergeant with the range measurement turned around and said, "Your Majesty, that's it."

Zhao Shu asked: "How to fight this?"

Qin Zhen said: "Your Majesty, please look at the warship ahead."

"Prepare……"

The command flag was waved, and all ten warships began to turn sideways to the two banks.

In the cabin, the general shouted: "Open the gun cabin and load it!"

Bang bang bang!

Amidst the dense sound, many holes were opened on the side.

Zhao Shu took a look and asked, "How many are there?"

"Twenty cannons on one side, two on the front and rear on the deck, totaling forty-four cannons."

Zhao Shu nodded, "You have to wait carefully."

Qin Zhen glanced at Shen An, "It was Duke Shen who proposed the gunboat originally. It was also his idea to place the cannons on the sides. I just implemented it. I don't dare to take credit."

Zhao Shu groaned, "Is it easy to use?"

Qin Zhen said sincerely: "Shen Guogong proposed installing cannons on the side from the beginning. Later, after many tests, I found that this was the best way."

"Shen Qing's move has given the Song Dynasty an additional weapon at sea. Let me see how it goes."

In the cabin, the loaded artillery was pushed out, and a general shouted: "Aim at the target on the shore..."

"ignition!"

Boom boom boom boom!

Amidst the roar, the warship was vibrating, as if there were many monsters rolling and crashing below.

"His Majesty!"

Chen Zhongheng turned pale and quickly stood beside Zhao Shu.

Zhao Shu was also startled, but immediately calmed down and looked towards the shore.

Gunsmoke filled the air from below, and iron bullets also flew out.

The standing targets were shattered by the iron bullets and scattered everywhere.

You can see those black dots crashing into your eyes, and then running rampant.

"Go forward indomitably, there is no stopping you!"

Han Qi praised: "It would be great if there were so many warships when we attack Youzhou."

Zhao Shu said in surprise: "Is it so sharp? I feel like... like countless soldiers are fighting bravely. It's really shocking."

"Your Majesty, please look at the other side." Shen An felt that today was an eye-opener for the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty. After seeing the power of the gunboats, he couldn't believe that Zhao Shu would not be tempted. When the time comes, dozens of them would come out. A good boy! Which country in the world can withstand an attack of this scale?

"Boom boom boom boom!"

The other side's side began to bombard, still with an overwhelming momentum, directly destroying the target group.

"Your Majesty, although the voices sound to you as one, they are actually lighting the fires in sequence." Qin Zhen was explaining.

"Why? Isn't it more powerful to light a fire together?" Zhao Shu was already fascinated.

"The shock of ignition together was too great, and the warship couldn't bear it."

"It's a good idea." Zhao Shu was really satisfied.

"This is the method that Duke Shen came up with." Qin Zhen really regarded Shen An as his idol, "When the gunboat was built, Duke Shen was the first to come up with these ideas, and it was later proven that they were all right. UU Reading www.uukankshu. net If it hadn't been for him, these warships would have collapsed long ago."

Zhao Shu said happily: "I'm afraid Shen Qing has been thinking about this a lot, right? Some people say that he takes care of his children at home all day long and does not do his job properly, but it seems to me that he is thinking about these issues at home, but why? A model for ministers."

Is this how I become a role model?

Shen An held up his hands and said a few words of humility, but his heart secretly twitched with joy.

Han Qi asked: "How did you come up with all this?"

"Think carefully." Shen An was talking nonsense seriously.

These were common sense from his previous life. He just transferred them and became a role model for his ministers.

The warship began to turn, preparing to bombard the two small boats.

"ignition!"

Boom boom boom boom!

Because the river here is only so wide, it is not enough for all the warships to line up and attack, so only two ships came.

Forty iron bullets rushed over, the trajectory visible to the naked eye.

Then water splashed around the two ships, followed by violent vibrations.

The iron bullet hit the warship, and then rushed in like a broken bamboo.

Sawdust was flying, and the warship was shaking like it was being slapped by countless giant hands. Then multiple holes appeared under the waterline and water began to enter.

Boom!

But just as the water began to enter, the two ships began to disintegrate.

After being hit by multiple iron bullets, ships of this era simply could not withstand it.

The two ships soon disappeared on the water, and the monarch and his ministers were silent.

So shocking!

If attacks on shore are commonplace, then this is the first time we attack targets on the surface.

Those two ships were like poor little white rabbits, being ravaged by the two gunboats, leaving Zhao Shu and others still immersed in that power.
