The eighth day of the Lunar New Year, night.
At this time, the team of Liu Mingqi and others had already left the Gyeonggi area.
Because it snowed heavily some time ago, even the official road was slippery and difficult to walk on.
Especially since there are a lot of sophisticated experiments and extraction equipment in the fleet, the speed cannot be fast.
At this time, the lights in the entire tent area have been extinguished, and only the scattered lights can clearly see the existence over there.
What everyone doesn¡¯t know is that on a high hill ten miles away from the tent area, a dozen short men with huge waists and long swords are looking over here.
The two leaders were young, one had a full beard, and the other had dark skin. It was obvious at a glance that he had worked hard for many years.
But all the hair on both sides of their heads was shaved clean, and the hair on the back of their heads was also shaved clean, leaving only a bunch of hair in the middle of their heads tied up in a bun.
??Similarly, one look at such attire will tell you that they are Japanese.
If you look more carefully, you will see that there are at least two to three hundred people sitting cross-legged behind them. It is dark and completely silent.
"General Uemura, General Kuniyama, our spies have returned." A short man knelt on one knee and reported: "They have deployed a large number of overt and covert sentries within a radius of seven or eight miles. If it weren't for us He is good at operating at night and has long been discovered.
"The camp was fully stocked with horses, antlers, etc., as well as a sentry tower three feet high. We had no way of seeing clearly where Liu Mingqi was. "
¡°I¡¯ve been out of Beijing for so many days, but I haven¡¯t let down my guard for a moment. These Dakang people are so cautious!¡± A Japanese man next to him couldn¡¯t help but sigh.
"They were once bitten by a snake, but they were afraid of well ropes for ten years." The bearded Hiro Uemura also smiled, "The murder of Prince Dakang shocked the whole world."
The dark-skinned Sachi Kunisama stared at the dim light in the distance, with a sneer on his lips: "If I led the people to rush in, burn, kill, loot, and set fire everywhere, they would lose sight of one thing."
"No." Hiroya Uemura shook his head, "As long as there is no way to kill Liu Mingqi, it will be a failure, and it will also alert the enemy and damage the general's plan."
Hearing the name General, even the somewhat crazy Kuniyama Sachi, who was known for his bloodthirsty cruelty, restrained his contempt, nodded, and turned to ask the spies: "Isn't it possible that during the day, you can't see where Liu Mingqi is? ?¡±
"Report to General Guoshan, of course we can see it." The spy commander said: "The one in the middle of the team, protected by a group of elite guards on tall horses, is Liu Mingqi and others There are also women among them."
Kunisama Zuozhi didn't care about women or anything like that. He continued to ask, "So when you set up camp, you didn't take note of the location?"
The spy commander said: "They change every day. They will not use a fixed place as Liu Mingqi's tent area, and everyone uses tents of the same color. When the sky gets dark, we can't tell them apart."
Uemura Hiroya nodded slightly: "It seems that there are experts among the guards!"
"How can a prince go on a tour without capable people?" Kuniyama Sachi frowned and said, "Hiroya, are we giving up on this trip?"
Although he is cruel and easy to kill, he is definitely not an idiot, otherwise he would not have become one of Toyokawa Masayuki's five guard generals.
The current situation is obviously impossible. If we force the attack at night, we may not be successful.
Since there is no guarantee of success, there is no need to do such a thing.
Uemura Hiroya looked at the distance with regret, and nodded heavily after a moment: "There is no way, just withdraw! Who knew they added two thousand more people in the middle? Otherwise we can give it a try Now, there is no need. ! If you can¡¯t kill Liu Mingqi, it will be useless even if you destroy the entire convoy.¡±
"Hey, what a pity! The deposit of 100,000 taels of silver has to be sent back to others at this time!" Kuniyama Sachi had a look of regret on his face.
There are many mountains of gold and silver in Japan, but one hundred thousand taels of silver is not a small amount for them.
"Money is secondary. Military Advisor Takeda also thinks that Liu Mingqi is a big obstacle to us, so he agreed." Hiroya Uemura also looked regretful, "The genius of Da Kang is our enemy, so we won't kill him." He is really unwilling to do so."
Neither of them mentioned whether there would be any punishment for retreating like this, because Takeda Hidesunari said before handing over the task, don't force it if you can't do it, otherwise it will make Dakang wary of them, but it will ruin the big thing. .
?; Looking further down, at about seven or eight meters, the diameter instantly increased again, at least twice as thick.
??Fifteen meters belowthese reefs have actually solidified into one piece, and they look like the ground of a river bed, a whole lot higher than the bottom of the dry river bed in front of them!
It¡¯s really
excuse me!
Liu Mingqi took a breath of air and couldn't help but feel happy.
Fortunately, the lowest depth here is more than ten meters.
If it is only a few meters, even if Liu Mingqi blows up the reef above, as long as it is not a flood season, there will probably be an accident.
yes.
The draft of a 1,000-ton cargo ship is only two meters, and the draft of a 3,000-ton cargo ship is only 3.5 meters.
¡°One thousand tons seems very common now, that is, two million kilograms.
But in ancient times, two million kilograms was equivalent to 16,700 shi. An inland river ship with such a carrying capacity would be thirty to fifty meters long and eight to twelve meters wide - think about the ancient inland river ships. , is this size large enough?
In fact, the most important ships on the Grand Canal are not in the 1,000-ton class, but after conversion, the ships of about 500 to 800 tons, the 1,000-ton ships are few, and the 3,000-ton ships are even less.
So the deepest point is only 3.5 meters, or even 4 meters, does it mean that as long as Liu Mingqi can blow up the dense reef group as thick as an elephant's leg, everything will be fine?
wrong!
Because the water flow is not constant.
Generally speaking, the river water gradually begins to warm up in February, gradually increases in March and April, and reaches the three months of June, July and August, when the water flow is the most abundant. Then it begins to decrease in September, decreases sharply in October, and ends in late November. , basically many sections of the river are no longer passable.
Based on this kind of water flow, the water level difference between April and June can be two to three meters, let alone March and October.
According to the surveying data obtained by Liu Mingqi over the years, the water flow in April was about four meters below the reef, plus an increase of four meters based on the draft of the highest 3,000-ton ship, that is eight meters.
????????????????????????? If it¡¯s a little safer, it¡¯s better to be ten meters or even twelve meters.
Well, twelve meters is the safest!
Twelve meters!
"Thank God, with Liu Mingqi's sharp eyes and the precise estimation of the physics dog, the river bed surface where the reefs are condensed into one piece is at least fifteen meters below.
Although it is very difficult, there is still a chance after all!
¡¡
You can indeed learn a lot by writing history books.
Like today, I spent three hours checking the size, draft, maximum load, etc. of ships on inland rivers.
I like the feeling of having knowledge like this, I feel like I can instantly become taller in front of the ladies~~(remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
