In fact, why didn’t Su Yonglin himself begrudge the huge amount of finished warships, shipbuilding supplies and shipbuilding craftsmen?

His eyes that were missing were green.

A large number of craftsmen are solicited throughout Shandong and Hebei, and high salaries are paid to hire senior technical talents, but the income is still very limited.

The best craftsmen and techniques are all in the center of the Jin Kingdom, and there are very few people among the people.

All the people can find are ordinary craftsmen, and those who can make military weapons and even innovate military weapons are under the control of the Jin court.

The outstanding military weapon craftsmen Su Yonglin obtained along the way were basically official craftsmen found in military weapon departments in important cities, and there were almost no one scattered among the people.

However, if you ask about the living standards, political status, daily treatment, etc. of these military craftsmen, you can always get some similar responses. You will learn that their treatment is very average, or even very poor.

This can roughly represent the attitude of feudal rulers towards science and technology.

Su Yonglin once naively believed that the feudal rulers were all fools, frogs in the well, and those with intellectual defects. They didn’t understand what science and technology could bring to them. Why didn’t they strongly support such a good thing?

Later he realized that things were not that simple.

If you think about it carefully, technological innovation can always bring different changes to the world, and when humans face different changes, they are always more afraid than excited.

If technological innovation is good for you, you are willing to accept it. If technological innovation is not good for you, it is still harmful. Of course, you will oppose it with all your strength and wish you could maintain your technology in the most beneficial situation for you forever.

The feudal rulers thought so most of the same.

The rulers pursue stability more than anything else. Once they get out of chaos, they hope to maintain stability forever, maintain peace and prosperity, and not have any disputes again.

In order to adapt to such fundamental needs, readers used the Three Bonds and Five Constant Permanence and the concept of superiority and inferiority to build a blueprint for them with the super-stable social structure, which governs all aspects of society, makes everything stable, and then sells this set to the ruler, making the ruler very happy.

And there are not no variables in this super-stable social structure. The biggest variable is the change in production relations caused by the development of science and technology.

The development of science and technology is a huge uncertain factor and an extremely uncontrollable leaping factor. In order to maintain a super-stable social structure, the ruling class is naturally hostile to the development of science and technology.

If they can, they hope the world will never develop.

Of course, when there are force majeure such as foreign invasions, they still need science and technology to arm their army, and they will be forced to develop science and technology. Despite this, in order to suppress the development of science and technology, the social status of technical talents must also be reduced.

The ancients were not unaware of the benefits of technological development. How could those outstanding people who chose from thousands of people not see the benefits of technological development?

However, because they are too smart, their thinking jumps to a farther place

Will the people who have mastered these advanced production tools have more thoughts that should not have because of their greatly improved productivity and their lives are more prosperous?

Will it affect my family and one surname dynasty?

When everything touches this level, it must stop, so the technological innovation has come to an end.

The Southern Song Dynasty relied on civilization and orthodoxism, claiming to be developed in science and technology, and its development and prosperity in science and technology, but it was completely surpassed and even beaten and crushed from various dimensions such as economy, military, and science and technology, and finally destroyed the country tragically.

This story tells Su Yonglin that science and technology are the primary productive forces.

Therefore, while recruiting craftsmen to build ships on a large scale, Su Yonglin also clarified the preferential treatment for craftsmen who master various technologies, so as to attract more outstanding craftsmen to serve the Restoration Army.

Not to mention the treatment is great, anyway, it definitely gets more than what they get under the rule of the Jin Kingdom, and has also been improved in social status.

Next, when the capital becomes stronger, Su Yonglin will also innovate the craftsman system on a large scale, enhance their social and even political status, and let them do their best to lead a wave of scientific and technological revolution.

Many technological innovations should not be waited until the middle and late Ming Dynasty. Now what should be done can be done. He is still waiting to use science and technology to arm himself to crush the Southern Song Dynasty.

Craftsmen, craftsmen, Su Yonglin thought of the skilled craftsmen under Wanyan Liang, and was eager to see and salivate.

Despite this, this battle still takes the first principle of destroying the Jin navy as the first rule. Use all weapons you can use. Fight as hard as you can, and fight as hard as you can, and burn as fierce as you can. Fierce, use all your strength to sink them into the sea and never reborn!

On June 30, the Su family naval army set sail, set out from the southern bay of Cangzhou, and headed north along the coastline.

The number of sailors dispatched was 4,000, and there were 500 elite cavalry of the Huben Camp on board to fight and break the enemy's camp.

The construction base of the Jin naval army was in the coastal areas of Daxing Prefecture, probably in the coastal areas of Tianjin. Of course, this place was still vast and sparsely populated, and there was no prosperous situation like the later [Tianjin Guard at the bottom of Jiuhe River, Three Floating Bridges and Two Passes].

The Jin people built large-scale camps in the coastal areas, and placed construction teams with a population of more than 30,000 people here, transporting a large amount of wood and other shipbuilding materials from all over the place to here, building warships here, and building huge naval forces.

Although the Jin people are not good at water warfare and are not very good at water warfare, they are still rich and have a strong capital, so it is not difficult to pull up a considerable naval army.

As long as Wanyan Liang is willing to spend money and dares to spend money, he can build a navy army that is larger than that of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Of course, the navy's technical and experienced troops cannot win if there are large numbers, but it still needs to pay attention to tactics, tactics and experience.

If the tactics and tactics are not in place or the experience is not in place, no matter how many naval troops are, it is equivalent to delivering vegetables to the enemy and giving a large amount of equipment to the enemy for nothing, making the enemy stronger.

Just like the Jin navy was defeated by the Southern Song navy.

Su Yonglin discovered that the main person in charge of the entire Jin Dynasty construction camp was Su Baoheng, the Minister of Works of the Ministry of Works, and Xu Wen, the Minister of Water Affairs of Du, was responsible for security work. The identities and origins of these two people were also touched.

So Su Yonglin learned that his family, the Su family, was originally from the Liao Kingdom. His father went to Xijing of Liao Kingdom and surrendered to Wanyan Zonghan. Su Baoheng was promoted all the way by Wanyan Zonghan, and now he has the status of Minister of Works.

And that Xu Wen is even more interesting.

He was originally a general from Song Dynasty, from Shandong. When Zhao Gou fled south, he followed him to protect his lords and made contributions. However, because Kong Yanzhou, who was also a northerner, Li Cheng betrayed the Southern Song Dynasty and defected to the pseudo-Qi period, so the Southern Song government began to suspect that Xu Wen was also suspected of betrayal.

In addition, he has always been good at fighting and has made many contributions to his colleagues' jealousy. Some people gossiped in the court and slandered him for betrayal, causing the court to send people to attack him. He was disheartened and crossed the sea to join the pseudo-Qi to serve Liu Yu, and later followed the Jin Kingdom.

Under the command of the Jin Kingdom, he made contributions to the battlefield against the Southern Song Dynasty many times, so he did a good job in the Jin Kingdom.

After Wanyan Liang ascended the throne, as a Han Chinese, he also gained the trust of Wanyan Liang. This time, the Jin Dynasty was preparing to build a naval army to fight the south. As a veteran with experience in water warfare, Xu Wen was appointed to the position.

It is said that he was quite happy about his victory in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Su Baoheng was nothing, had no military ability, he was just a pure administrative bureaucrat. Because of his identity as the Minister of Works, he was in charge of the water army affairs.

Xu Wen is a veteran and has experience in water battles, but it is not enough to have experience as the main general. When fighting water battles, not only the main general needs experience, but also the officers of the subordinates.

Xu Wen obviously does not have this condition.

A few days before the navy was dispatched, Su Yonglin ordered the troops on the front line of Xiongzhou Bazhou to launch a slightly strong attack, threatening Waqiao Pass and Yijin Pass, in order to attract Jin Ting's attention and attract Wanyan Liang's attention to Xiongzhou Bazhou, rather than the navy camp.

On the day when the navy was dispatched, the war in Xiongzhou Bazhou was in full swing.

No one in Jinting expected that Su Yonglin would actually make a plank road openly to cross Chen Cang and go straight to the navy.

When Su Yonglin's naval army appeared on the vast sea, it was dawn.

Sun Ziyi calculated the time very well. The whole army was driving on the sea at a certain speed. The time to reach the outside of the Jin naval camp was at dawn.

Before arriving at the water camp, Sun Ziyi chose a coast that was easy to land, put down the five hundred cavalry on the ship, assigned them a guide, and asked them to rush directly to the Jin army water camp from land, raid their way back, and strive to intercept more craftsmen.

Then the navy continued to advance and headed straight to the Jin army's water camp.

The wind was not heavy that day, and there was no Jin army naval ship patrolling outside the entire naval camp, and it was quiet like there was no one in the entire camp.

The lookout hand on the watchtower vaguely saw the densely arranged Jin army naval warships in the water camp. The number was astonishing as if they could not see at first sight.

Sun Ziyi rode on the flagship and sent orders in flag language, ordering all warships of all sizes to force the beds and crossbows, install the rockets, and wait for the order to launch.

The navy soldiers quickly carried out the installation and quickly loaded it up.

Sun Ziyi left a little time for the crossbowman to better load and aim, and then ordered the warships to be divided into three teams to approach the Jin army's water camp from different directions.

Sun Ziyi led a team, deputy general Kong Zhende, and Zhou Mancheng led a team. When the fleet approached a certain range outside the water camp, Sun Ziyi ordered three arrows to be fired into the sky.

That was the order to launch an attack.

The lead of the gunpowder cartridge was ignited, and the crossbow strikers on the naval warship swung the sledgehammers in their hands and hammered them down hard. The thick rockets roared out, cutting through the sky, and heading towards the Jin army warships in the water camp.
