"Brother, I have brought you the picture of the new tube ship. This type of warship will be based on the two Shenzhous that visited Goryeo in Xuanhe in the fifth year. The keel and hull must be reinforced, the side of the ship must be raised, and the buildings on the upper floor of the deck will be cancelled to facilitate the arrangement of artillery..."

Zhao Shu looked dusty. He took naval vehicles and ships directly from the Navy Shanghai Shipyard to reach the Yuejiangmen Wharf north of Jinling Imperial City. It was a pier for royals and navy, just by the Yangtze River outside Yuejiangmen. After entering Yuejiangmen, there was a corridor that directly leads to the north gate of the Imperial City. The entire corridor was a forbidden area, and there was a gate on both sides of the corridor that could lead to various parts of Jinling New City, but it was closed all year round. Therefore, the purpose of this corridor was to provide royal members of the Jinling imperial court like Zhao Huan and Zhao Shu.

If necessary, Zhao Huan could quietly go through this corridor to Yuejiangmen Wharf, and then take a boat to leave Jinling Mansion... There would never be a passive situation like Kaifeng Mansion being surrounded by Jin thieves.

The drawings Zhao Shu brought today are used to create a tube warship with a load of 6,000 stones (360 tons) that can carry Zhao Huan to escape overseas!

According to Zhao Shu's requirements, this warship will be able to install two 12-jin large tubes and sixteen 6-jin small tubes on the side, a total of 18 tubes.

In addition, a 28-pound hot pot was placed on each of the front and rear decks of the warships!

In other words, there are a total of 20 cannons on this 360-ton decadmium battleship!

In addition, in order to make room for cannons, supplies and passengers, the water wheel of the warship was cancelled and changed to full sail drive.

In order to give this warship more power, in addition to having two hard sails, this warship also has soft sails called "tail delivery, head oar, and head turban".

In the case of a tailwind, this warship will have extremely fast speeds!

This speed, this firepower, this degree of solidity... In today's world, this ship is an invincible existence!

Zhao Shu spread the picture in front of his brother, then lowered his voice and said, "Brother, I guess, if this type of ship is built... it will take only four days at the earliest to evacuate you from Jinling City to Bota!"

"What are you retreating to Hakata?" After hearing this, Zhao Huan looked around with guilt, but did not find the foreign minister. Then he said to his brother in a low voice, "Fifth Brother, what are you talking about? Who is going to retreat to Hakata... By the way, where is Hakata? How far is it from the Central Plains? Is the place spacious? How many people can live?"

Zhao Shu whispered: "Brother, Hakata is the largest city on Kyushu Island in Japan. There are 1,600 Han people, 400 Koryo people and 1,000 Japanese people, and there are about 3,000 Japanese families in the city. The size of Kyushu Island is about the same as Jiangnan East Road. There are nine states on the island. The Japanese are called Lingguo, so they are named Kyushu. In addition to Hakata, there are more than a dozen other Tang houses, which are where the Han people live... The total number of Han people who live on the island is about five or six thousand.

In addition, Hirado Island, which the Japanese slaughtered to us, is only one mile away from Kyushu Island. Although this island is not big, it has a pleasant climate and fertile land. There are two good ports built by heaven and earth, which is very good... I suggest that thousands of criminals will be sent to Hirado Island first, so that they can build cities and docks on the island, thinking that it will take a long-term plan."

"How many Japanese people are there on the island?" Zhao Huan frowned, "Can they fight? I heard that the Japanese sword is very sharp! We are planning like this now, is it too early? Will the Japanese people notice anything?"

Zhao Shu smiled and said, "I haven't counted how many Japanese people there are on the island. I guess there are hundreds of thousands... But most of them are farmers and fishermen, so they cannot be beaten. Whoever ruled them is just obedient to the people!

There are only a few thousand Japanese people who call samurai some force, but they are now subject to some corrupt officials of Heian Kyo and have difficulty in reaching their ambitions! If we can serve as officials and share their land, they might even use it for us."

This Zhao Shu is no longer the pampered prince in Kaifeng Prefecture. He not only experienced drastic changes in his life and witnessed the rise and fall of the country, but also personally participated in the "reopening" of the Southern Song Dynasty - Zhao Kai's Northern Song Dynasty was "reopening", and Zhao Huan's Southern Song Dynasty was also "reopening".

Zhao Shu was staying in the Southern Song Dynasty and Northern Song Dynasty (he served as a mission to Luoyang, and also had a royal palace in Luoyang, and lived for a long time). He knew the ways of the two Song dynasties. After having this experience, he would be very clear when looking at the current Japan.

Japan is actually a bit similar to the Song Dynasty before the Xuanhe crisis. The ministers and ministers of Heianjing were equivalent to civil servants before the Xuanhe crisis, and they were even worse than... they were so arrogant, useless, and occupied a large amount of land.

Japanese samurai were somewhat combat-effective than the Western military gangs before the Xuanhe crisis, but they were not on the same path as the ministers, and they had never fought a real war, so their strength would not be very strong.

In addition, their number is not very large - the number of samurais skyrocketed because after the emergence of the Wu family regime, the property of the nobles was occupied by samurai, which gave the samurai a solid economic foundation and the number of people could expand.

Most of the land in Japan is still owned by the nobles, and the life of the samurai is very hard, of course not too much.

As for the people at the bottom of Japan... most of the bottom of the countries around the world are obedient. This is the case with the Song Dynasty, the Indians, the Great Food, and the Rome. Feudal countries in Western Europe cannot rely on serfs or small urban vendors to go to the battlefield to compete with the knight army, right?

So Japan is no exception. The farmers and handicraftsmen on Kyushu Island are also obedient.

"As for whether we are planning too early..." Zhao Shu paused and smiled, "Brother, if you don't make arrangements for this matter early, can you still leave when the matter is coming? If the third brother is already at the city, where can you go between the warehouse? The eldest brother will never want to learn from Yelu Dashi and lead 200 cavalry far away?"

If Zhao Huan wants to run away, he can pull away 100,000 or even more followers, right? If he wants to suppress the Japanese on Jiuzhou Island, Zhao Huan's troops cannot be less than this number.

And so many people have to cross the ocean... to colonize, it is not easy.

After all, the Han people are not nomadic peoples, so they just drive cattle and sheep away. Moreover, they don’t go to sea to walk on the grasslands. The vast sea and the storms are dangerous. Even a fleet of thousands of large ships is small in the sea like duckweed.

Therefore, in history, the Southern Song Dynasty, which fled to the coast of Guangdong, did not know where to go?

If you really want to run away to colonize, you must prepare several years or even ten years in advance... You must build a navy that can be firmly controlled, a large number of warships that can be far-reaching, and small overseas colonies must be opened in advance.

With these small colonies, a large number of them will inevitably rush over to have a place to reach!

Zhao Shu said to his brother: "Brother, these arrangements are actually two-handed... Our arrangements in Kyushu are not threatening the Japanese court on the surface. Our great and great country in Song Dynasty is extremely rich, how can we look at the territory of Japan?"

Zhao Huan sighed, "If there was no way, I wouldn't have gone to such a wild place!"

"That's it!" Zhao Shu said, "If we don't have that step, our arrangement in Japan is completely like we are helping the Japanese, and we have no malice."

His tone suddenly became sank: "If we really reach that point... we rush over 100,000 people and 200,000 people together, it is not something they can resist!"

"One hundred thousand and two hundred thousand?" Zhao Huan frowned, "Is there so many people willing to follow me?"

"Of course some people are willing to follow!" Zhao Shu said with certainty, "The third brother respected Wu and his courtesy, and seized the land of scholars and officials. He has long been hated by the scholars in the southeast... In addition, there are many righteous people who followed from Kaifeng and Songzhou in Jinling City. The emperor gave them the mansions and helped them make a living. He also set up many schools for them to educate their children. This kind of kindness will always be rewarded."

Zhao Huan not only inherited the Song Dynasty's approach of emphasizing literature and respecting martial arts, but also continued the tradition of treating the people in the capital with kindness. He gave the people who followed Kaifeng Prefecture and Songzhou all the way, and regarded them as nationals.

Zhao Shu then suggested: "You can recruit strong men from the Tanhu as sailors, and the Tanhu is a family in the world, and has always been close to others. If the royal brothers support him with a generous salary, they will definitely be willing to follow him.

In addition, the emperor's brother would better raise another orphan army... He could choose more than 10,000 children who have lost their parents and have no support to raise them into an army."

Zhao Huan nodded and smiled, "This idea is good, I have this intention!" He paused and said, "Fifth Brother, I have something to ask you to do."

"Brother, just give orders."

Zhao Huan said: "The Guangzhou Maritime Mansion Department recently received a mission from the Great Food Kingdom, which is very large!"

Zhao Shu smiled and said, "Are you here to make tribute?"

"It's not here to pay tribute...and it's not here to find us."

Zhao Shu frowned, "Did you look for the third brother?"

"Not that, I'm here to find Datang!"

"Da Tang?" Zhao Shu was stunned and stunned, "Why did they arrive? The Tang Dynasty..."

"The Tang Dynasty was restored in the Western Regions!" Zhao Huan said, "and also captured a great territory and had a conflict with the Western Turks, the vassal of the Dashi Kingdom... The Dashi Kingdom first rituals and then soldiers, and then sent people to negotiate."

"What should we do?"

Zhao Huan said: "Fifth brother, go and entertain them... tell them that the Tang Kingdom was supported by the Third Brother, so we oppose it. We can form an alliance with the Great Food Kingdom and oppose the Tang Kingdom together."

"What's the benefit of this... for us?"

Zhao Huan smiled and said, "Of course there are benefits...However, the alliance is casual? We have to send a delegation to Dashiguo to talk to their Maharaja, so that we can follow the mission of Dashiguo to the west and figure out the situation in the Southeast, the West, and even the Dashi area!"

"What are you doing?"

"What are you doing? The three nests of cunning rabbits!"
