Lin Chong's expression also became serious.

There is an endless stream of thousands of refugees here.

One can imagine how many people will flock to the two states during this period.

As few as tens of thousands.

As many as hundreds of thousands.

Now is the spring season, and wild vegetables have just begun to show their sharp edges, which is not enough for these people.

I'm afraid even the newly sprouted wild vegetable roots have been dug up at the border crossing.

This time is also the most serious time of spring famine.

I have enough food to eat.

The wild vegetables did not grow.

Summer harvest is still early.

The so-called"green and yellow" period refers to this period.

These victims were hit by floods again and were almost penniless.

It will be a heavy strain on the Two-State Land.

In fact, the land of the two states is already controlled by Liangshan, and the government orders do not leave the state and county towns.

"The boss should already know about this, I just need to obey orders. Lin

Chong let go of his anxiety and rode up to the carriage.

The people in the carriage seemed to sense it and opened the windows.

The two just looked at each other blankly, and no one spoke for a long time. Zhang Zhenniang in the carriage was indeed good-looking. She has a very gentle temperament and is a standard Xiaojiabiyu. No wonder Gao Yanei fell in love with her at first sight.

"Madam, I’ve suffered so much for you."

"Husband, I just hope that we will never be separated again in the future."

Both of them had red eyes, and Madam Lin's tears were rolling down like jade.

Fortunately, everything was not irreversible yet. Lin Chong's nose was sore at the same time, and his gratitude to Wang Lun became even stronger. point

……

"Husband, what is this?"

"It was a toll station, and there were a group of fifty cavalry stationed there. They were responsible for the safety of merchants' convoys within a radius of dozens of miles, and charged one-tenth of the price of their goods as security fees. Liangshan now controls several routes with more than 2,000 miles, and there are many such toll stations."

"No wonder I kept hearing people say that it would be nice to enter the boundary of Yunzhou... Where is that pavilion?"

"That is a security post. There is a pavilion chief and two thieves. The three are responsible for the security of the village. They are all soldiers of our Liangshan Army."

The deeper you go, whether it's Yunzhou or Jeju, the various novel sights make Mrs. Lin feel endlessly novel.

"Over there is the porridge shed, which is opened by me, Liang Shanjun. It seems that the boss already knows about it."

Lin Chong's eyes showed a look of relief.

Liangshan moved very quickly, and there were already porridge shacks after walking only a few dozen miles.

As he and Mrs. Lin went deeper, the closer they got to Liangshan, the more porridge shacks they provided.

……

"Lots of smoking blast furnaces……"

"Lots of ducks and geese!"

"There are so many fields, husband, and the wheat is growing so well."

"What are those three big wind blades spinning around?"

"Husband, over there is Liangshan’s warship?"

Mrs. Lin was reunited with her husband, and she finally felt no pressure in her heart.

After taking a boat across the Golden Beach, she found it strange to look at Liangshan Mountain and the fields on the nearby hillside, the black ducks on the lake, and the rotating windmill. Incomparable.

The most novel ones are the windmills and battleships.

There is a huge sailing ship in front of you, which is extremely eye-catching in appearance and size.

Especially for those like Mrs. Lin who grew up in Tokyo, the most she has seen is the one in the Qingming River Scene. A grain transport ship.

This is a large ship, and it is also a battleship. This is the first time even Lin Chong has seen it.

The sailing ship in front of him is about fifty-five meters long and nine meters wide. The side of the ship is filled with Liangshan military water camp armed with spears and knives.

This is a large warship with a draft of 260 tons and a full load of about 300 tons.

At least, the Song Army definitely does not have such an advanced warship now. Not only does it use three-masted soft sails and a streamlined shape, Moreover, there are extra-long oars protruding from the bottom of the cabins on both sides.

This shape is completely different from the Chinese-style fortune ship shape of the Song Dynasty.

Due to the relationship between foreign trade in the Song Dynasty, especially in the Southern Song Dynasty, the shipbuilding industry developed by leaps and bounds.

Historical data records that there are lucky ships of 1,000 tons, and even 3,000 to 4,000 tons.

Zheng He’s treasure ship route in the early Ming Dynasty was already a mature trade route during the Southern Song Dynasty.

Southern Song merchants and Tianfang merchants arrived in Nanyang along the southern coast of the Southern Song Dynasty , and then along the coast to India, Tianfang, Africa, and then back along the way.

The porcelain, tea, and silk of the Southern Song Dynasty were transported and sold, and then some spices, gems and other foreign specialties were brought back.

Generally speaking, the Southern Song Dynasty was the leader. After all, there are few good things outside, and the three major items of porcelain, tea, and silk in the Southern Song Dynasty can be sold as much as they want, and the profits are extremely high. Driven by trade, the shipbuilding industry also developed rapidly.

The shipbuilding industry in the Southern Song Dynasty far exceeded that of the Ming Dynasty. At the beginning, there is no doubt about this.

But the Fuchuan of the Song Dynasty also had shortcomings: it had a flat bottom, could not withstand big waves, had hard sails, and poor utilization of wind energy.

The advantage was that it had watertight compartments, carried a lot of cargo, and had strong safety performance.

It could be used as a warship, to be honest. Not very suitable.

The maneuverability is a bit poor.

The sailing oars in front of me were gradually developed in Northern Europe and were still in use after the Anglo-Spanish Naval War. Before the emergence of steam mobilization and ironclads, there were also fixed cannonballs. Before the improvement of gunpowder, the old sail battleships did not have as much advantage as imagined.

The British fleet fired tens of thousands of artillery shells a day against the Spanish Armada. Only a handful of warships were directly sunk by the shells, and most of them were angle battles. The capture and results of the war.

At that time, there were specialized repairmen on the battleships. Unless they were unlucky enough to be hit by a cannonball in the ammunition depot, generally speaking, any hole punched could be repaired. It was too difficult to sink a wooden battleship.

Therefore, sailing boats have always been useful, especially in offshore naval battles. This thing can both take wind and paddle, and has a sharp angle of attack. It can run fast and has strong attack power. It is simply a weapon in offshore naval battles.

Liangshan for the time being It is impossible to sail far across the ocean. Once such warships appear, not to mention the hundreds of miles of lakes in Liangshanbo, several nearby waterways, the Yellow River, canals, and the future Yangtze River can all be easily controlled.

"Good instructor, good sister-in-law."

At the bow of the galley, Ruan Xiaoqi waved.

Lin Chong responded with a smile.

Then Ruan Xiaoqi whistled, and twenty extra-long oars started rowing. The oars cut through the water, breaking through little golden lights. , in front of everyone's eyes, it flew away like an arrow.

Lin Chong knew that there were already several such warships, and they were still under construction.

The Shuiying soldiers on the warships showed their elite qualities.

Controlling the ship, in They practiced assault and gang jumping on the ship, and everyone was very skilled.

There was a sense of pride stirring in his heart.

For the first time, he felt that following the boss Luocao might be better than being the instructor of the Imperial Army in Tokyo!

""Husband," Mrs. Lin whispered,"people used to say that Mr. Wang has a deep chest, which is unusual for ordinary people. I understand now.""
