Chapter 39 Kublai Khan, Where Are My People?

That's right, Da Song started to act.

At this moment, half a year has passed. During this half year, the white oak used for shipbuilding has been found, and the shipbuilding has naturally begun.

Regardless of the long propagation time, the speed of shipbuilding in the Song Dynasty was only a few months slower than that in the Ming Dynasty.

In just the seventh month, the first sea-going ships have been built.

There are a total of ten ships, which is naturally incomparable compared to the five hundred ships that Daming wrote for the first time.

And even the quality is very different.

After Zheng He's several voyages to the Western Ocean, the Ming Dynasty's shipbuilding system was not only more complete, but also more technologically advanced than the Song Dynasty at the moment.

Not to mention that Daming Shipyard still has a large number of seagoing ship materials that have been processed a few years ago, which can make the wood for shipbuilding withstand the erosion of seawater for a longer period of time.

The Da Song side is almost all fresh wood. Although it has undergone preliminary treatment, it is still very difficult to withstand the erosion of sea water for a long time.

But for Da Song, these are not problems, and these sea-going ships are only used for emergency, not for future use.

As for the standing sea-going ships in the future, they have already begun to deal with them. It is believed that qualified sea-going ships will be manufactured within a few years.

new seal.

On the surface of the sea, ten strange sea ships stand tall. Their sharp upturned and forward-extending bows look like a pair of scissors together with their reflections on the calm water surface. They are completely different from the previous Da Song sea ships. existence on

These are naturally the ten clipper ships that were manufactured.

And at the port, Lu Xiufu and even the little emperor Zhao Bing were present in person at the moment.

"Master Zhang, take care of everything!"

Lu Xiufu saluted Zhang Shijie solemnly.

This return is undoubtedly a huge risk.

Although it was just transporting the people, it may also be attacked by Meng Yuan at any time. With less than 3000 soldiers brought by Zhang Shijie, there may not be a way to retreat unscathed.

"Lord Lu, don't worry, Meng Yuan can't catch up with this boat's speed!"

Facing Lu Xiufu's worried gaze, Zhang Shijie chuckled lightly, his expression full of confidence.

He has verified the speed of the sea-going ship. Let alone the Mengyuan navy, even the navy of the Song Dynasty cannot catch up with such a speed.

As soon as the words opened, the figure stepped into the clipper boat.

Soon, sea ships set sail one by one.

Under the watchful eyes of Lu Xiufu and the little emperor Zhao Bing at the port, he drove towards the north quickly.

"Let's go, Your Majesty, I'll wait for Lord Zhang to return in triumph!"

Watching the sea boat gradually go away, Lu Xiufu spoke to the little emperor Zhao Bing.

"is teacher!"

The little emperor Zhao Bing nodded seriously.

The group returned to the newly closed city again.

Zhang Shijie, who was leaving, also quickly headed for the northern Bering Strait in a flying clipper boat.

This time compared to the last time, it was undoubtedly much faster.

The speed offered by the flying shear is unimaginable.

In less than ten days, ten clipper ships had arrived in the western part of the Bering Strait, and then crossed the Bering Strait.

The last time we sailed through the Bering Strait on the Song Dynasty ship, it was undoubtedly easier to cross the Bering Strait with a scissor sailboat now.

Half a month later, ten clipper-style sailboats arrived in northern Asia without any damage, and after another seven days of sailing, the sea-going ships arrived at the island country again.

At this moment, the entire island country is already a little jittery.

When the ship landed on Tsushima Island, Zhang Shijie quickly understood what was going on.

Kublai Khan wants to conquer the island country and has already begun preparations.

And such a result made his brows frowned.

For Da Song, this is not good news. After all, in the previous plan, Zhang Shijie planned to use the island country as a transit point, first transporting the people to the island country, and then transporting the people from the island country to America.

But now that Kublai Khan is about to attack the island country, such a plan will undoubtedly be difficult to carry out.

Zhang Shijie has no hope that the island country can hold on.

As for helping, forget it.

Although the enemy of the enemy is a friend, the problem is that the current Song Dynasty does not have the strength to fight against Meng Yuan, and Zhang Shijie does not want to expose himself in a short time. The Song Dynasty needs time to develop and transport more people. Under the circumstances, low-key is king.

"Looks like we have to move to another place!"

With a soft voice, Zhang Shijie looked at the map involuntarily.

In the end, his sight was fixed on the huge island on the southeast coast.

Soon, Zhang Shijie quickly ordered, and the sea boat continued to go south.

Ten days later, Zhang Shijie led his fleet to the location of Diaoyutai, where the Diaoyu Islands would later be located.

Compared to island countries, this place is undoubtedly relatively deserted.

But with the island next to it, it is still enough to serve as a transit point.

It took almost a day, after Zhang Shijie inspected the two islands, he immediately started to act.

The first step is to start building some houses on the Diaoyutai and the island next door.

After that, the clipper sailboats were sent out one by one.

Toward the entire Fujian coast.

That's right, Fujian.

Compared with other places, where Fujian is located, it was the last territory controlled by the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, and the Song Dynasty could attract more people.

In fact it is.

A few years ago, in order to attack the Song Dynasty, the Yuan army almost entered the city and massacred them on a large scale. Even though they were restrained in the later period, almost everyone in Fujian was dressed in sackcloth and mourning, and the people were miserable.

In addition, after Meng Yuan captured Fujian, a large-scale land enclosure movement also started, resulting in hooligans and uprisings everywhere.

When the Song army arrived, the residents along the entire coast couldn't help being excited all at once.

Although during the Song Dynasty, the people did not necessarily like the imperial court that much, and even hated and hated it.

However, there must be a comparison in everything. Compared with the brutality of Meng Yuan, Da Song is almost like a relative.

Da Song said to take them away.

Most people agreed without any hesitation.

After all, the land has been robbed, and the safety of the family's wife and children cannot be guaranteed at all. Instead of staying at home and waiting for Meng Yuan to rob at any time, it is better to go overseas with Da Song.

Of course some people don't want to.

In this regard, Song Dynasty did not force it, but only attracted those who were willing.

Even so, in only about ten days, ten ships had returned fully loaded.

More than [-] people were recruited to go to sea.

So much so that Zhang Shijie had to send three ships out to fish, otherwise the food brought over would be difficult to sustain. The other two sea ships first transported some people to America, and the remaining five sea ships continued to attract people.
