Chapter 302 The waterway is long
Chen Lin often stood in public rooms, staring at the map in a daze.
The Great Zhou of this era is like an incomplete version of the Song Dynasty.
Also bullied miserably.
The same big turban has the final say.
But there is no literary and romantic experience in the Song Dynasty.
It is not as rich as the Song Dynasty.
If Emperor Taizong of Zhou had not been involved in a strife, he would have changed the country's name.
Chen Lin even suspected that he had traveled to the Song Dynasty.
However, looking at the map, he was sometimes confused.
The famous Taihang Mountains are gone.
It seemed like he was torn into a small Luoyang Mountain by God, one by one, one by one.
And the somewhat outrageously large Beim Mountains.
Huanglong River appeared out of thin air from west to east, and the flow was quite large.
It is like the Yellow River in history, but it is divided into two parts in Taiyuan Prefecture.
The mainstream continues to go south and is called Huangjiang.
The tributary goes straight to the east, and it is Huanglong River.
The Huanglong River is along the Beim Mountains, and the Luoyang Mountain is twisty and turns, but it is actually not short.
The Taiyuan Prefecture to Anding River section alone is nearly a thousand miles away.
Stayed to Chanzhou, eight hundred miles.
From Chanzhou to Xiongzhou, six or seven hundred miles.
Strangely.
After a large circle of Huangjiang River flowing through the southeast of Daming Prefecture.
It flowed north willfully, following the Yongji Canal section of the Grand Canal, and the time and time together.
Pass through Dezhou, Cangzhou, and to the east of Xiongzhou.
So, Huanglongjiang and Huangjiang merged again and entered the sea in a mighty way.
There are only more than 200 miles of waterway from Xiongzhou River Estuary to Haikou.
The east of Huangjiang River is collectively called Shandong Road.
It is much larger than Shandong Province in later generations.
In fact, the navy fleet led by Bai Snake and Chen Liang.
You can go back to Taiyuan Prefecture and then follow Huangjiang all the way to Fengqiu.
Enter the Tongji Canal from the Shandong section, and walk one or two hundred miles north to reach the foot of Mount Tai.
The safest way is, with almost no harassment from Liao people.
Because the Jiang section that stabilized to Taiyuan Prefecture was firmly controlled by Li Guangli's naval army.
Chen Lin didn't know that there was a fleet in the capital, which was going upstream along the Huangjiang River.
Of course, Chen Liang's navy was not afraid of harassment from small groups of Liao army ships.
They swaggered east along the Huanglong River.
Mainly to familiarize yourself with the hydrological geography along the way.
A thousand four or five hundred miles of waterway, I saw the tall city walls of Xiongzhou in six days.
The sails are moving forward in a hurry during the day.
At night, for safety reasons, the sail was lowered halfway, and the speed was not slow.
The boat stopped halfway and boarded the shore twice.
It was not to attack the Liao people on the north bank.
The five hundred heavy horses on the ship need to come out to loosen their muscles and bones.
To avoid the good horse being upset, having a bad temper, and affecting riding operations.
According to Chen Liang's idea, they all arrived at the intersection of the two rivers.
Another 200 miles will be the estuary, and it will take less than a day to travel.
What's wrong, I should go and have a look.
A group of people living in the inland have never seen the sea in their lives.
But, a continuous water village was built at the mouth of the Huangjiang River, which directly blocked the way.
The Xiongzhou Navy fought against the Liao people all year round.
They mainly deal with the Liao navy who came from the sea.
Not to mention the defense line of the sea estuary, the Hekou Water Village has been broken several times.
Therefore, the defense is particularly strict.
Let Chen Liang take out all relevant documents.
People just disagree.
The Xiongzhou Navy was used to seeing the huge ship of ten thousand dan.
How to take these ten "black-sailed ships" of the Lushui Iron Army seriously?
Chen Wuxia smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it!"
"They did nothing wrong, it's for our own good."
"The entrance to the sea is two hundred miles, and it is a battlefield."
"If we really encounter a Liao people's sea boat, can we still fight?"
Everyone gave up.
Walking south along the Huangjiang River is going to countercurrent.
Fortunately, it is winter at this time, and the north wind is right.
If you are going against the current and wind, you won’t need to paddle.
Everyone has been deciding to finish the Huangjiang section before talking about it.
Instead of turning into the canal along the way.
Because the canal is too narrow, it is difficult to avoid it.
The coastline of Shandong Road is too long.
Where can the Liao navy not log in?
The Huangjiang naval army of the Great Zhou Dynasty was blocked and could not get out of the sea.
The huge Bohai Bay is so powerful that the Dengzhou navy can't stand it and cannot defend it at all.
The Jiangnan Navy's defensive waters are larger.
Just destroying the pirates is enough for them to be busy all year round.
Therefore, in recent years, the Liao army landed on the light cavalry.
It can cause great harm to Shandong Road.
Even the Taishan area deep inland is in peace.
The ancestors of the Badao Sect have lived in Mount Tai for generations, but are now forced to move.
It's not that they can't fight.
Instead, the Liao people stopped their men from far away and were like the wind, which was difficult to fight.
Crops are not easy to plant and business cannot be completed.
The situation is falling day by day, so it is better to move out as soon as possible.
I went to Beimang Mountain and was taken care of by my relative Chen's family.
Being a horse bandit is actually not bad.
Hurry up and hurry up. Five days later, the fleet had to leave Huangjiang.
This place is called Linqing County and belongs to Daming Prefecture.
Next, I can only walk the Shandong section of the Grand Canal.
The Iron Army officers and soldiers were very disappointed.
Didn’t it mean that the eastern section of Huangjiang and Shandong are full of light cavalry raging everywhere?
Everyone didn't even meet a single one.
If you want to go ashore and go for activities, you won’t have a chance.
Chen Wuxia dared not delay the trip, for fear of missing out on his uncle's relocation team.
With the days in mind, I hope to arrive at Yanzhou Prefecture in about 20th.
On the map of Dazhou, there is no place name Tai'an.
Only Fengfu County, Yanzhou.
The canal dug by hand is only eighty steps widest.
In other words, if you shoot a rocket on the shore, the ships in the canal will suffer.
The Grand Canal is more than 5,000 miles long.
The most prosperous area is the Tongji Canal in Kaifeng section.
The Shandong section is considered a regional tributary with relatively few business trips.
But what makes everyone have to be wary of is.
After walking for more than thirty miles, I didn’t encounter a larger merchant ship or cargo ship.
The small fishing boats and sampans were so scared that they scattered away when they saw the fleet of black-sailed ships.
Chen Feng stood on the flagship deck and laughed.
"Now, we should be able to meet the Liao army's ranger."
"Let's be on guard!"
Chen Wuxia looked calm.
"Don't always think about fighting."
"What is our mission? Don't forget!"
"Signal soldiers, notify each ship, second-level defense."
On the river surface, it is both deserted and weird.
Each armored curtain on the boat was put down.
All air-breaking crossbows are equipped with phosphorus fire bombs and are ready to be launched.
Of course, only one-third of the officers and soldiers participated.
Second-level defense does not require all personnel to participate in the war.
Even the shadow of the enemy cannot be seen.
Who are you going to hit?
Chen Wuxia's fleet is not afraid of occasional rocket sneak attacks.
Even two transport ships with 5,000 dan were installed with iron sheds.
The hull was painted with fireproof paint.
Not to mention the other eight armored warships.
What everyone is worried about is the woods or hills along the way.
Hidden inside the catapult.
The river channel is so narrow, hundreds of steps across the bank.
What if you face a heavy stone bomb attack?
Then there was an iron armored iron boat, a stone as big as a wheel was smashed down.
It's also very dangerous.
Not to mention, dozens of sulphur bombs raided.
It's enough to make a ship wrapped in flames, it's so scary.
