Bringing the families of nearby military men to settle here is a big deal, but it's actually quite simple.
Changsun Wuji wanted to make arrangements, and they were quickly arranged——
They must first assemble and then set off. They will be escorted by a certain amount of imperial troops. If they don't want to pick up their family members, the court will also arrange for them to be transferred to inland places.
In addition to these, there was actually a second batch of cement and steel parts that had to be transported. After all, Li Sheng still had to build a lot of things here.
The difference between the navy and the army lies in this. The navy must try its best to use technological products. Where there is more steel and less gas, the technological content is really important.
then……
Originally, at the beginning, whether it was the soldiers who had taken the initiative to petition together, Changsun Wuji himself, or even Chai Shao and Ma Zhou who learned about the matter after Li Sheng and returned home in the evening, their subconscious reaction was to go overland——
The distance from Nakazusho Island to the northern port...
To be honest, it is actually quite far, even from Hangzhou to here.
It is not a trivial matter for a fleet to go on an expedition and travel such a long distance, not to mention that there are always Goguryeo fleets raging nearby...
The news of the battle's results has already reached Li Er's hands, and now Li Er is sending envoys to question Goguryeo - no matter what their attitude is in replying, Datang has now won a high ground of public opinion.
But since the opponent's fleet is still wreaking havoc, there is indeed a certain risk in taking the sea route...
But when everyone came to Li Sheng and planned to discuss the method and route of this operation, they got a new wave of tasks.
In addition to picking up people, we also transport their home production tools, such as plows, rakes, needles, threads, etc., and ironware from Chang'an.
Of course, it is not an ordinary iron tool, but a new steel part customized by Li Sheng.
And the key is, Li Sheng made it clear that the parts needed this time must be very large.
Relying on horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts for transportation...
Anyway, if you take the water route, you need to transport it to Hangzhou first. You will know the difficulty of this later.
Li Sheng said this, Chai Shao and Changsun Wuji immediately understood... The action Li Sheng was going to make this time was definitely not small, no matter what it was, anyway...
Well, think about that thing in the warship...
But then again, since this thing is huge, it is indeed too difficult to travel by land. It takes ten kilograms of rice to transport one kilogram of rice over a long distance, and rice is easy to divide and transport, not to mention
All Li Sheng needs are large overall steel parts...
...then the only option is to take the sea route.
From this point of view, things are indeed a bit troublesome...
With such a long road, there are going to be encounters along the way...
This is quite tiring.
It's tiring, but I can't say it's tiring at all.
As a soldier, since there is no shortage of money, food and grass, there is no reason why fighting is too tiring - everyone has to use both hands to carry the rice bowl.
Chai Shao and others quickly determined the route and took the sea route!
Let’s sail a boat first and go back. And after arriving in Hangzhou...
The benefits come at this time, because recently, another large ship has been launched in Hangzhou, and others are under construction.
Counting the ships passing by then, there will be two big ships...
Whether it is transporting people or the batch of steel parts that Li Sheng wants, it is enough in terms of quantity.
Of course, under such a transportation mission... the combat effectiveness of the two ships will naturally decline to a certain extent. Chai Shao was a little confused as to whether to bring one or two additional ships aboard to perform escort missions.
He discussed this issue with Ma Zhou, but Ma Zhou gave him a surprising reply.
"Hmm... I don't think so. Two ships should be enough..."
"Not necessarily?" Chai Shao couldn't help but frown, "Two ships carry a lot of things and people, and there are people who can control the strings. Can this be used?"
"Uh... In this case, we can actually let those soldiers board the ship."
"What part is that?"
Chai Shao was a little confused. Why was this kid Ma Zhou so full of riddles today...
Ma Zhou thought for a while and then said in one breath,
"Uh... that's actually the case. During this period of time, the teacher was in retreat for research. I gave him a few blows, and the teacher told me one thing, this..."
"In Hangzhou, a new weapon is now available. After the general gets it, he will use it on the ship... Even with only a small number of soldiers, he can fight."
Chai Shao was confused for a moment, "What kind of weapon is this and how can it be so convenient?"
"Well...not only is it convenient, but the grenade projection distance can also be increased a lot. The key is that this weapon can also be used by women and children, so it will be much more convenient."
Chai Shao was stunned for a moment. It can increase the grenade throwing distance...
If this is the case, it can indeed reduce the necessary number of soldiers... and the military pressure will be greatly reduced.
After all, if you think about it, if the grenade can be projected farther, the winning rate and safety factor of the battle will be much greater, and the game space will be much larger.
And both women and children can use it...
This Chai Shao had reservations. Isn't this a joke... A strong man in the army can only throw a grenade for thirty steps at a time. Even if he has auxiliary weapons, he can only throw an extra ten steps at most.
As for saying that women and children can also use it, this is simply impossible when you think about it.
But since it was Li Sheng who said so, Chai Shao still chose to believe it.
The whole army lined up and prepared to board the ship.
"How is the Xianbei man Hei Te Changzhi doing? Is there anything unusual?"
At this time, Chai Shao suddenly remembered this. The Xianbei general Hei Te Changzhi was still in custody. Although he had previously agreed to let him lead a fleet to work for the Tang Dynasty, it had not yet happened.
Ma Zhou on the side raised his hand when he heard this, "This person is not very tough. After he was caught, he did anything. He just wants to have a way out. It's best..."
"most?"
Chai Shao couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. How could the defeated general put this aside to negotiate terms???
But since this person is so realistic, he seems to be good and usable.
"Okay, give him a better salary and let him find something to do."
…
As Chai Shao began to prepare for a long-term voyage,
On the other side, on the Goguryeo side...
On an unnamed island, Yeon Gaesumun was reading a secret letter.
"Leading the army north? Transporting ordnance...as well as soldiers and their families?"
Seeing the content of the letter, Yeon Gaesumun gradually frowned. This thing was really news.
Troops were stationed on the island, and they were brought back to the Central Plains to pick up their families... But this way, I always felt that something was not good.
Now that Hei Te Changzhi has been arrested, Yuan Gaisu Wen is also paralyzed, and he can't find anyone to discuss with him. But fortunately, there are Wang Jing and Pei Ji here, and these are all scholars from the Tang Dynasty...
