Datang: God-level Choice
Page 205
It's just that Jiangnan is thousands of miles away from Chang'an City, and the journey was exhausting by boat and car, and it took several months to go back and forth, and Li Er couldn't find the time at all.
However, now that there is an artifact that can fly, it is completely different.
Flying from the air, you can walk in a straight line. If the wind direction is suitable, you can arrive in one day, which is very convenient and fast.
Li Er's heart that he wanted to act like a force all over the place suddenly started to sprout.
Qin Huaidao smiled, the officials managed the storm, and there was another big killer.
Chapter [-]: The stunned Roman prince
(1/4! Ask for full order!)
"Finally arrived at Datang!"
The Roman prince Constantine looked at the lighthouse that was taller than the mountain, and said with a sympathetic expression on his face.
Along the way, he saw the vastness of the Tang Sea area.
From Persia to the Tang Dynasty, on the seas of thousands of miles, there were more than [-] fleets of ships he saw, and each fleet had at least [-] ships of [-] tons and at least two thousand tons class treasure ship
Counting round trips, the number of sea-going ships in Datang is at least as high as: more than a thousand, and they are all big ships, and there are no small boats that are full of numbers.
Especially those thousand-ton treasure ships that were incomparably tall and had twelve giant sails, made Constantine envious.
Although the Roman Fleet was victorious in the naval battles with the Persian Fleet and the Caliphate Fleet, the largest flagship was only four or five hundred tons, and among the Datang Caravan, it was barely a second-class main force.
Moreover, the ships of the Tang Dynasty are all carefully optimized for navigation, and they are all pointed ships that are more suitable for navigation. Not only are they fast, but the aspect ratio of the hull is also more suitable, and they are more resistant to storms.
The fleet that the Romans were proud of was not as good as the merchant ships of the Tang Dynasty, which caused Constantine to suffer a lot, and he began to think secretly in his heart.
Must not let: Dashiren get the shipbuilding technology of the Tang Dynasty, otherwise the Eastern Romans will really be finished
Without the support of the fleet's shipping, the Roman army on the front line to resist the crazy attack of the Cannibals will run out of ammunition and food at most in a month. The Cannibals' fronts can directly reach the Bosphorus Strait, and the other side is the Eastern Roman capital. Constantinople
Once Constantinople fell, the Eastern Romans had nowhere else to go, not far from the kingdom
Therefore, the fleet is the last line of defense of the Eastern Romans, and it is also the weakest point of the Caliphate, but it is also the strongest point of the Tang Dynasty.
Moreover, on top of Constantine's deliberate friendship along the way, Liu Rengui, the naval general of the Tang Dynasty who was very proficient in sailing, told Constantine privately while drinking that the messenger of the Great Food and Peace was already on his way there. The Tang Dynasty is on its way, and it is less than three days later than Constantine.
This undoubtedly made Constantine even more worried. The Romans did not have the habit of inheriting the eldest son. His status as the first prince was not the highest, otherwise he would not take the initiative to ask for an ambassador to the Tang Dynasty, hoping to take this opportunity to turn over.
If this operation is messed up, the Cannibal will get the advanced shipbuilding technology of the Tang Dynasty. Even the Romans can still maintain a certain lead by relying on the Greek fire, and the naval battle with the Cannibal will change from a war of annihilation to consumption. war
The difference between two words, the price is very different
And if Tang is willing to open up more technologies to Cannibal, the Greek fire may not work.
The range of the catapults and crossbows of the Tang people is too far
Moreover, on the treasure ship where Constantine lives, there are many places that are kept secret from him, and those places, according to Constantine's private inquiries from the soldiers, are the real bottom of the Tang Dynasty. Magic weapon, power and catapult are not at the same level
Although Constantine did not think that the Tang Emperor and the respected and world-famous Liao King Qin Huaidao would be the kind of idiots who are so foolish as to capitalize on the enemy, he was always confused in his heart.
But just after disembarking, and accompanied by Liu Rengui, he simply visited the Dengzhou Shipyard after its construction, and Constantine was even more shocked.
That kind of huge, thousand-ton level, the sea giants called treasure ships by Datang people, Datang can build fifty ships at the same time with just one Dengzhou shipyard.
Moreover, it is said that Datang has several such constructions in the process of expansion. After all of them are completed, the number of treasure ships that can be started every year can only reach more than [-]! As for the treasure ships of the [-]-ton class, the official Datang shipyard has already Disdain to build, completely handed over to private shipyards, the government is only responsible for technical support and confidentiality control, charging technology royalties will do
As for how much private shipbuilding capacity is, Liu Rengui can't say, at least it's in thousands.
In Jiangnan alone, there are more than ten private shipyards that can build [-] large ships.
Constantine's face is very melancholy
Just these numbers on the surface, Datang's shipbuilding capacity in one year exceeds the sum of all the ships in the Roman fleet, and the quality is completely incomparable.
"It's no wonder that your country's caravans can occupy the entire ocean. This shipbuilding ability is really terrifying!"
Constantine sighed and smiled bitterly.
I still underestimated Da Tang.
With the shipbuilding strength of the Tang Dynasty, even if they sell some ships and shipbuilding technology to the Caliphate, they will not be able to shake the sea power of the Tang Dynasty, and only the Romans are harmed.
"This is just the beginning. According to His Royal Highness King Liao, if the Tang Dynasty wants to achieve the era of great navigation, at least [-] thousand-ton treasure ships are needed."
Liu Rengui said with a respectful expression.
The longer he stayed in the fleet and the farther he sailed, the more Liu Rengui admired Qin Huaidao's vision.
The boundless sea is definitely a huge treasure house, and the richness of treasures is definitely on the mainland
And the wide access of the sea is the core pillar for Datang to maintain the imperial hegemony! Not to mention, Liu Rengui just learned that the tax revenue of the customs of the major cities in Datang in the first half of the year has exceeded six Ten million guans! This is not even the income of the fleet controlled by the imperial court. If it is more than a month, there must be three million guans.
And these numbers are still there: a sharp rise, how much it can be, it is hard for Liu Rengui to imagine
And the first batch of private capital invested in the big voyage also made a lot of money
And these examples of getting rich right in front of you have made the entire Tang Dynasty crazy about it.
Even the most popular land trade, the transaction volume has been much less, but there are many more landlords and squires who sell their land and exchange them for ships to join the big nautical trade.
It can make the small peasant society, the landlords who regard the land as the lifeblood of the land, start to sell the land to the sea, the enthusiasm of the Tang Dynasty's navigation, it can be seen that the general
The recruitment of sailing schools in various places has always been extremely popular, and the flexible-minded businessmen in Jiangnan even raised funds to set up more than ten sailing training colleges, and directly offered all tuition fees, room and board. Free conditions to grab people
