Chapter Five Hundred and Ninety-Fourth Do you still build small boats if you don't build giant ships
Well, it's a long way to go. In short, after the National Assembly approved the will of this young master, it was convenient to choose an open area north of Chang'an in five days and start the construction of the Heroic Hall of the Chinese Empire in five days.
On the newspaper, an evaluation and detailed description of a historical figure every five days was begun, describing the life of this historical figure, so that the common people could hear and read the relevant deeds of these historical figures.
In addition, each newspaper will receive five votes, and in every yard of Chang'an City, polling stations are set up in every county under my ruler. When the turnout rate reaches more than 50%, this historical figure can be enshrined in the Chinese Heroes Hall.
And I naturally have the right to propose, and I suggest who can enter the Temple of Heroes, but it also requires a vote.
Of course, although the voting right is not with me, it can influence the evaluation of this historical figure by the scholars and the Chinese people who can hear or read newspapers, and ultimately affect the voting results.
More importantly, taking this opportunity, the Royal Grand Theater, Quanjude Grand Theater and many theatres took this opportunity to start rehearsing the dramas of the voted historical figures.
Now that curfew is no longer required, the people should have entertainment and entertainment at night. It is precisely because of this that the performing arts career is now booming. The earliest and oldest history are naturally Quanjude East City Grand Theater and West City Grand Theater, followed by Royal First Theater and Royal Second Theater.
Later, Guanzhong Commercial Group invested and built five large theaters in Chang'an. These theaters alone could receive 70,000 audiences every day. In addition, there were teahouses, towers and pavilions. Every night, there would be at least 70,000 to 80,000 people wandering in the hustle and bustle of brightly lit in Chang'an City.
Although some people have bad intentions, the cavalry of the Imperial Guards are not vegetarians. Every night, various cases will occur more or less, but most of them are quickly solved, and many of them are cracked on the spot. All the criminals were thrown into labor camps. We have nothing else, but there is really a lack of manpower, especially many dirty and tiring tasks, which are most suitable for these guys to work and reform.
At this time, I also received news from Jiaozhi that the fleet had arrived at the port located south of Jiaozhi. Compared to this era, this can be regarded as a giant fleet, which scared Jiaozhi Prefect Qiu and trembled.
In the eyes of people of this era, nearly fifty transport ships and fifty fleets of various warships can definitely be regarded as a strategic force.
In addition, more than 3,500 shipwrecks with profound skills and their families were transported, and two regiments of troops were also transported, making the entire port and the number of Chinese Empire troops reached one brigade, that is, more than 7,500.
Well, what my uncle said in his letter, he thought about it for a long time and decided to take Qiu He to take a good look, look at the port, look at the warships, and even let Qiu He see the elite soldiers of the Chinese Revival Army.
I have to say that my uncle's approach can be said to be just right. Now, the news that our Chinese Revival Army has captured nearly half of the land of Bashu with a destructive force has already spread throughout the world, and Xiao Xian is already nervous at this moment because his territory happens to be next to the land of Bashu.
The outrageous combat power of this 200,000 elite army, as well as the outstanding performance of Qu Tutong and other generals, is enough to Xiao Xian be afraid. You must know that although Bashu is in chaos, there are at least nearly 300,000 troops.
However, in just two months, more than half of the territory was lost, and nearly half of the army was also lost. Xiao Xian's troops were indeed more than 100,000 more than the coalition forces in Bashu. Is it useful?
Even if he had an army of 400,000, he had to guard against Wang Shichong in the north and against the mortal enemy Lin Shihong in the south. In the east, Du Fuwei was also eyeing him. At least half of his army of 400,000 was used to guard against these places.
Now, my young master's army is coming with murderous aura. Even if Xiao Xian is not scared to tears, he will not have time to care about the Jiaozhi land far away in the south of the world.
Qiu He, the prefect of Jiaozhi, was not a person who was ignorant of the current affairs. Otherwise, he would not have offered a surrender to Xiao Xian when he had no way back. This is why Qiu He would turn a blind eye to my son's people coming here to build a port and build a large boat.
Now, the name of the Chinese Revival Army and my son has already trembled China. Now, the twenty armies have entered Shu and have easily achieved such great achievements. Now, if Qiu He still can't understand my ambition, he will have been an official for so many years in vain.
Just last month, the land of Bashu was full of great victory. Qiu He once talked to my uncle about whether to return to China by raising the flag now. However, his uncle told him not to worry and wait.
First, although the Chinese Empire's army has won consecutive victories, it has not yet been connected with Jiaozhi; second, the biggest advantage of not jumping out to declare is that it will not attract others, that is, Xiao Xian's attention.
After all, the army of the Chinese Empire and the Liang Kingdom occupying Badong County are almost intimidating. Xiao Xian's life is naturally very difficult, and his attention is all attracted. As long as there is no excessive and extraordinary thing happening here, Xiao Xian can only watch at most and there will be no other moves.
It is just taking this opportunity to work hard to strengthen one's own strength, which is the most important thing. Nowadays, compared with Qiu He, my uncle is more like the prefect of Jiaozhi.
This time, such a large-scale fleet, coupled with the 6,000 long-term training and the tenacious and brave soldiers of the Revival Army, have made Qiu He understand the intention of this young master, and he really attaches great importance to the land of Jiaozhi.
Otherwise, why should you send such an elite force to come thousands of miles away? Now, a large number of ship craftsmen have been transported.
Here, under the guidance of craftsmen who arrived earlier, brick kilns, cement kilns and lime kilns have been built. So far, three docks that can be used to build warships with a displacement of about 7,000 stones have been built, and three other docks have been prepared.
In addition, two docks of 10,000 stones will be built here. Judging from the number, 7,000 stones seems to be a lot, but in fact, it is only a displacement of about 483 tons in tonnage. Ten thousand stones is only 690 tons.
It has to be said that the ship craftsmen of this era, or the development of China's navigation industry in this era, is still very powerful.
As early as the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, when he was preparing to conquer Nanyue, a large number of large tower ships were built, with three to four floors of superstructures, ten feet high, and a capacity of thousands of soldiers. During the Three Kingdoms, Eastern Wu also built five-story warships, which could carry 3,000 soldiers. The tower ship not only looked majestic and mighty, but also had spears and swords on the ship, and was on guard, with strong guard, and effective offense and defense, just like a fortress on the water.
In the previous dynasty, when Yang Guang was expeditioning Goguryeo, he also built a large ship in Dengzhou. In the 12th year of his Daye, the dragon boats in Luoyang were even more huge, but they were burned by thieves. Just talk about the warships in the Eastern Wu period, three thousand fully armed soldiers, and they had to load baggage on the ship, as well as those catapults and poles, and think about how heavy it was.
An adult man must have an average of 120 kilograms, and the soldiers of this era must have an equipment of about 30 kilograms. In addition, their food and supplies are all under, each person needs at least 20 kilograms. In this way, each person must have a capacity of 180 kilograms, and 3,000 kilograms is 540 kilograms.
In addition to the weight of the hull, as well as various things such as crossbows, poles, etc., the displacement of a building ship must be about five or six hundred tons.
The ships I built in Hancheng County have mostly transport ships with displacement between 100 and 150 tons, while the five largest lucky ships in warships have reached 300 tons, while the smallest of other warships is also 200 tons.
There is no way, the warships under my master were built to ensure that they could pass through the Yellow River. Today's ship craftsmen are confident to build larger warships, and the warships in the Yellow River are only used to maintain the waterway. In my master's eyes, in the future, the navy of the Chinese Empire should look to the vast ocean.
