Chapter 1610 Small test of the knife (big chapter, ask for a monthly ticket)(2/8)

On the deck of the flagship "Dashi Invincible", Captain Abuza stood next to Muaweiye and made his own suggestions.

As one of the most experienced captains among the Great Food Navy, Abuza has a relatively high prestige among the Navy.

Muaweiye will still listen to his opinions carefully.

“The situation in Tianzhu is indeed changing.

In the past, it was basically a mess of loose sand, so we didn’t need to take any action at all. We could do whatever we wanted.

But now the Southern Tianzhu Kingdom has basically unified the coastal territory, and the Northern Tianzhu Kingdom is also in a honeymoon period with them.

However, both countries have a close relationship with the Tang Dynasty and are close to us.

This situation is certainly unacceptable.

According to our previous survey, the climate and soil in southern India are very suitable for growing crops.

This is actually very important to our Great Food Empire.

As long as we occupy this territory, our food problem will be basically solved.”

Muaweiye obviously had his own ideas about Tianzhu.

In his opinion, the Great Food Empire not only wanted to attack India, but also included this land in its own rule.

If you attack from land, there is a area in the middle that is relatively harsh and is not conducive to marching.

But if you attack from the sea, there will be no problem.

You can log in wherever you want.

Just the small sampan of the Tianzhu Navy is obviously not an opponent of the Dashi Navy.

That is, the Tang Dynasty set up a Qi Wang Port in southern India, and Mu Aweiye needed to plan it carefully.

"That's right, I heard that the Tang Dynasty found some high-yield crops from the Americas, and now it has begun to promote them on a large scale in China.

The yield of these grains has increased several times compared with previous wheat and rice, which is of great significance to solving the grain problem.

However, the Datang Maritime Bureau strictly prohibits all such high-yield grain from flowing out. We have only heard of this for the time being and have not yet obtained the relevant seeds.

If we get the seeds at that time, we will occupy the Indian geranium and plant them in large quantities.

I guess the food problem is not a problem.

At that time, the Caliph will definitely value us very much, and it is not surprising that you even let General be responsible for the construction of all the naval forces in the Great Food Empire."

Abuza is a hardcore supporter of Muaweiye.

They are all considered to be the current Caliph.

"In addition to high-yield grain, the Tang Dynasty also had cotton cloth and other handicrafts that were also worthy of our conquest.

After returning to this training, I plan to set up a training center in Persian Port to train spies.

Then we will arrange these spies to the Tang Dynasty to see if they can bring us more information.”

Muaweiye found that he still knew too little about the Tang Dynasty.

Although there are many merchants in Persian Port that cooperate with the Tang Dynasty merchants.

However, there are still very few people who have actually been to the Tang Dynasty.

Even if some people have been to the Tang Dynasty, they often come back just to Guangzhou.

This led to the wide variety of news about the Tang Dynasty collected by Muaweiye recently.

Some news is even contradictory.

As a general, he naturally knew the importance of information.

That's why this time he prepared to set up a training center, which is specially used to recruit all kinds of people to serve the Dashi Empire.

"The general's proposal is very good. If some Tang people can be recruited to serve us, it would be the best.

If it really doesn't work, it's okay to recruit Indians or the original Persians.

But for our own people, Tangren will probably be more vigilant and it is more difficult to inquire about the news."

Abuza obviously also supports Muaweiye's idea.

"Yes, we look obviously different from the Tang people. It is not that easy to find out the news.

But I believe that in the end, everyone's competition depends on strength. As long as our strength is stronger than the Tang Dynasty, everything is easy to say.

This time our new warship has begun to serve, and we will definitely give the Tang Navy a heavy blow."

The two of them were talking like this, watching the fleet slowly heading towards the deep sea.

...

"Admiral Yang, according to what he has grasped now, there will be heavy fog in the next few days, especially in the morning, when the fog dissipates significantly slower.

It is best to let each ship control its speed slightly so that the ships will not encounter each other."

Zhu Tong, who was doing research in Puluo, was also pulled together by the army this time.

For the navy, how to grasp the weather changes is obviously a very important thing.

Otherwise, if you are a fleet and accidentally break into the hurricane's movement path, then it is very likely that the enemy will not need to deal with you, and the hurricane will destroy you.

Later Mongolia was roaming all over the world, and originally thought that it would take down Japan.

As a result, the huge fleet was hit by a hurricane, which extinguished the Mongols' idea of ​​attacking Japan.

Yang Qiwa didn't want to go out this time, because he suffered major losses due to the weather.

"Under this heavy fog, the visibility is less than a hundred meters, which is indeed a bit dangerous.

Admiral Yang, should we ask the ships to find a way to dock and how many days to rest before marching?”

Sue was also a little worried that something might happen.

After all, it is rare for him to travel on the sea for so many years in such foggy weather.

The heavy fog that stretched for hundreds of miles turned this sea area into a fairyland on earth.

If you look down from above, it will definitely be very beautiful.

But this is not the scene that everyone wants to see.

"Calculate the time, the army that the imperial court went to fight against the Western Regions should have fought with the cannibals.

This news will definitely spread to the Dashi Empire soon.

Although we have never attacked the big cannibals at sea before, the big cannibals will be somewhat vigilant.

This is not good for us to fight quickly.”

Obviously, Yang Qiwa didn't want to stop.

"If you have to keep moving forward, you have to make some extra arrangements to avoid accidental collisions between ships and to avoid undetected ships after encountering big cannibal ships.

It is already very close to Persian Port. Judging from the situation a few days ago, we have encountered more and more merchant ships."

Zhu Tong expressed his opinion again.

At this time, it is actually not impossible to continue moving forward, but the risks will be relatively greater.

"We can transform the formation of the fleet into rows and divide them into two rows, ensuring a certain gap between each row.

Then the distance between each ship is confirmed by blowing the conch horn regularly.

Of course, if visibility increases, there is no need to be such a trouble.

The fog is very high now and the sea breeze is very small, so the distance is relatively easy to control.

The ships will not collide with each other due to wind."

Seeing that Yang Qiwa's attitude was very firm, Su Yi immediately began to propose his corresponding plan.

Fortunately, although I have never encountered such a large fog, there will be similar problems when marching at night at sea.

The fleet still has some plans to use.

"There is no problem, just follow this plan and the speed can be reduced appropriately.

But the pace of progress cannot stop.

We can consider the impact of this fog from a different angle.

In this case, even if we are very close to the port where the cannibals are, they may not be able to find it.

It can better achieve the surprise attack effect, and it may even turn into a good thing."

Yang Qiwa stared at the chart in his hand and looked at it carefully, estimating the distance between his current location and Persian Port.

Under normal circumstances, they should be able to arrive at Persian Port in three more days.

"That's true. Yesterday's two merchant ships broke into our fleet in a daze, and were captured by us without the power of being useless.

If we can take advantage of the heavy fog to appear in Persian Harbor, and then we will start attacking when the fog starts to dissipate.

The effect may be really good.”
