Nine hundred craftsmen, craftsmen who can repair ships. These people are all untouchables in Jiangdong. Craftsmen are all inferior professions. If these people are counted, they are only a thousand gold, but don’t forget! These craftsmen are craftsmen who can repair ships and build ships. Each of them has their own unique skills, either repairing ships or building ships. You must know that in the Eastern Han Dynasty, this era when technology was very backward, and in this era when everyone was still in the rivers when water wars were still in the rivers.

They can already enter the sea in Jiangdong. Although they only walk along the coastline, that kind of risk is definitely not. There will be something in the rivers. If you accidentally encounter the entire fleet, even in modern navigation with developed technology, it is a technical job! Even a thousand years later, when the territory of the Yuan Empire spans the entire Eurasian continent, they have countless good craftsmen in their hands to build a navy, but when they attack Japan, they are completely wiped out due to strong winds at sea!

Why is the Jiangdong Navy scattered above the Yangtze River? It is because the Jiangdong Navy's ships are very good, which is stronger than the old navy of Jingzhou. Every shipbuilding craftsman in Jiangdong is strictly controlled. These talents are the key to Jiangdong dominating the entire waters!

It was absolutely impossible for Sun Ce to allow these craftsmen to go out. Once these craftsmen ran to the territory of Cao Cao or other Central Plains princes, it means that the lead on the ship will be defeated. Lu Bu's army's intention to want these craftsmen was beyond words. Lu Bu wanted to build ships and ships!

Only Liu Biao, Jingzhou, Sun Ce, Jiangdong, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao can build tower ships!

But the only one who truly regards craftsmen as treasures is Jiangdong Sun Ce. Cao Cao is mainly to pacify the Central Plains and is unable to build a water war with all his heart. This is why. In the Battle of Red Cliff, Cao Cao was fooled by Pang Tong and actually used iron chains to chain rivers! This is a water war. If you tie all the warships with iron chains, isn’t this a 360-degree, no dead corner attack for people!

Yuan Shao also had a navy army, but he looked down on the navy. In his opinion, the navy was just for transportation functions. What they were responsible for was transporting the army to the land. Isn’t it the real siege to capture cities and villages? Isn’t it the army? Besides, Yuan Shao has so many troops in his hands, so the navy doesn’t care about it at all!

Liu Biao of Jingzhou also attached importance to the navy, but the navy was basically in the hands of the gentry of the Cai family and the Zhang family, so it was very limited!

The infantry of Lu Bu’s army, Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, can be regarded as the king of land warfare, and no matter who encounters the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, it will be a headache! Ten thousand Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry once made it difficult for the eighteen princes to move under Hulao Pass. Eight hundred trapped camps and dared to fight against 10,000 camps. Now there are 5,000 trapped camps! Although Gao Shun doesn’t like to boast about these 5,000 people, Gao Shun is confident that as long as it is not a 100,000 army, Gao Shun is not afraid at all! The city management army, the black chess army and even now have Danyang soldiers under Lu Bu’s hands. Sun Ce’s Jiangdong Army has seen these soldiers and horses! The power of these soldiers is more powerful than Sun Ce’s elite! This is where the strength of Lu Bu’s army is!

The reason why Sun Ce was not afraid of Lu Bu was because of the natural danger of the Yangtze River, the strength of the navy, and the construction of warships. He knew that there was no dock for the construction of warships in Wancheng and even the entire Lujiang River, and there was not even a single craftsman. That was because after occupying Lujiang, Sun Ce packaged all the craftsmen and docks for the construction of warships to Jiangdong. In Kuaiji, there were many docks, and there were craftsmen everywhere! Not only were warships built, but ordinary freight ships were also built! These ships constituted the main water transportation.

Although Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Sun Ce in Jiangdong were fighting, they had nothing to do with the gentry and merchants. If you fight, they will do business! As long as it is not involved in the arms of the army, both sides agree. After all, everyone will survive. There is salt and iron in Jingzhou, but there is food in Jiangdong!

If there were so many craftsmen to Lu Bu and the dock, then Lu Bu's army would have the ability to build ships. There would be a real enemy on the Yangtze River. This enemy had defeated himself before outside the Great Village of Wancheng!

They have strong combat power, but the ships are weak. If the Lu Bu army loses one ship, there is no one, but it can be built continuously in Jiangdong. The relationship between the Lu Bu army and Sun Ce army is like Japan and the United States during World War II! The little Japanese navy is very powerful, and even sneak attacks on Pearl Harbor and sent the entire Pacific Fleet of the US into the sea. But don’t forget that the little Japanese shipbuilding ability is impossible to compare with the United States. The east and west coasts of the United States, processed day and night. Not only half a year, a Pacific Fleet that was several times stronger than before was once again incorporated into the naval sequence, while the ship built by the little Japanese was sunk and one less. In the end, the Japanese could only fail!

The biggest consequence of giving Lu Bu military craftsmen is that the naval army of Lu Bu army is no longer restricted. Although it is difficult for naval army to form an army! Don’t forget that Lu Bu has such a powerful weapon in his hand! A powerful weapon that can send 30,000 Jiangdong naval troops to the bottom of the river without any harm. The sharp weapon plus the ability to build ships, so who is the opponent of Lu Bu army on the surface of the river?

"Impossible!" Zhang Zhao refused without hesitation. Even if he didn't want any of the nine children of the gentry, he could not teach the craftsmen to Lu Bu's army! Losing the children of the gentry will only lose the hearts of the gentry, but losing those craftsmen may lose the entire Jiangdong!

"It's really impossible to talk about it?" Yang Hong also knew that this matter was a bit difficult. As long as the Jiangdong Army was not a fool, he would definitely not call out the craftsmen. But now these craftsmen were Lu Bu's order to Yang Hong and must be found. Otherwise, Lu Bu's army would have to be trapped in Jiangbei and could not even praise the Yangtze River for half a step. Even if Liu Biao and Sun Ce in Jingzhou fought with each other and suffered a bloody battle, both sides would be injured, Lu Bu would not want to go to the fisherman to benefit!

If it were a few years ago, then this craftsman was really not a problem. There were not many other shipbuilding craftsmen in Yangzhou and Yuzhou. These people wanted to stutter, and the places near the rivers needed ships. Naturally, there was an extra biotechnology. At that time, one gold could hire dozens or even hundreds of craftsmen. Now, there was no one gold! Because basically all the craftsmen were taken back by Sun Ce from Jiangdong and Liu Biao from Jingzhou! They were the overlords of the river, so naturally they didn’t want later generations to take over their own low positions, so the most powerful thing in controlling the navy was the ships! You don’t even have warships, how could you form an army? Did you row bamboo rows and fight with me?

"Absolutely impossible!" Just as the princes in the north did not allow war horses to flow to the south, these princes in the south could not allow warship construction to flow to the north! These are the trump cards in their hands, how could they be easily handed over?

"Then there is nothing to do!" Yang Hong shook his head, "It's a pity, it's a pity. Then I can only talk to Liu Biaojun, Jingzhou to see if I can get these craftsmen."

"You don't have to threaten me! I've said that at most, our army will withdraw from Jiangxia. At that time, Liu Biao of Jingzhou will not help you with my Jiangdong! You can't get this craftsman in my Jiangdong, you just want to get it in Jingzhou! It's just a daydream!" Zhang Zhao directly scolded Yang Hong. How could the Jingzhou navy, who is also the overlord, hand over the craftsman? How could he not know that Sun Ce is a tiger? This Lu Bu army is not a vegetarian. If this Lu Bu army can defeat Sun Ce, can't he attack Jingzhou! So how did Huangzhou be attacked? Huang Sho is still in the hands of Lu Bu army!

"Who said Liu Jingzhou was unwilling? Liu Jingzhou had already arranged an envoy to come. He said he wanted our crossbow, hey, there were a lot of conditions! This craftsman's business is just one of them!" Yang Hong acted as if he was a pity and was about to leave.

"Slow down!" Zhang Zhao suddenly stopped Yang Hong. "What did you say just now? The sharp weapon of the bed crossbow?!"

"No, you heard it wrong, I didn't say anything!" Yang Hong was unwilling to answer at this moment, and he waved his hand. "Mr. Zhang Zhao, go back to Jiangdong tomorrow! This Jiangxia, my lord, has already let General Gan Ning come back. You should take Lu Su and those prisoners who are willing to go back with you! Don't forget to send our prisoners back! Hong said goodbye!" Yang Hong was about to hold his fists and leave.

Zhang Zhao's first idea was not allowed to leave, because what Yang Hong said was really terrible! That sharp weapon, the crossbow, the sharp weapon that sent all 30,000 Jiangdong naval troops into the Yangtze River to feed the turtle without any injury. The Lu Bu army actually wanted to talk to Liu Biao, Jingzhou! If only Lu Bu family had this crossbow, the Jiangdong army would not have to worry about anything. After all, the Lu Bu army could not build ships, and the Lu Bu army's naval army was short for a long time in its comprehensive quality. In terms of its overall quality, Lu Bu's naval army could be deterred.

The strength is much stronger than actual combat capabilities! So Liu Biao in Jingzhou is still the enemy of the Jiangdong Army. The Lu Bu army just put it aside and waited for the final removal! But once Liu Biao in Jingzhou has sent people to discuss with the Lu Bu army, the one who named him is the bed crossbow. Although Yang Hong denies it now, the more he doesn't admit it, the more likely it is. If Liu Biao in Jingzhou gets the bed crossbow, Zhang Zhao really can't imagine that Jingzhou's shipbuilding ability is no worse than that in Jiangdong, and even Jiangdong is not as good as Jingzhou, because

After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, like the eighteen princes besieged Dong Zhuo, the Luoyang Rebellion, and the Chang'an Rebellion Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor. Other places were wars. Only Jingzhou was truly peaceful. Even if there was a war, it was also in Wancheng. It had no impact on places like Xiangyang and Changsha, the hinterland of Jingzhou. Even Jiangdong has only been truly peaceful in recent years. And you have to know that there is a problem of Shanyue in Jiangdong. If this problem is not solved, then Jiangdong will not be able to stabilize! So a large number of talents

A large number of people flocked to Jingzhou, including those craftsmen who know how to build ships. In addition, Jingzhou is originally a major production area for shipbuilding. In Jiangxia, where there is water near the Yangtze River, there is no dock. This is the real reason why Jiangxia has fought to this day. Although there are many warships in Jingzhou, the soldiers are not as strong as the soldiers in Jiangdong. After all, there are too many people who train troops in Jiangdong. In Jiangxia, there are only a few generals in Wenpin, Huang Zu, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun!

Huang Zu, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun all started to grow old! How could a person who Wenpeng could hold on to the group of military generals and scholars in Jiangdong?

But Jingzhou got this crossbow and it was really going to change the situation. Jingzhou was not short of warships and craftsmen. The 20 tower ships of Lu Bu army directly sent 30,000 troops into the bottom of the river. There were hundreds of warships in Jingzhou. Liu Biao even wanted him to build them again at any time. These ships were equipped with crossbows. Should the Jiangdong naval army survive? The Jiangdong naval army could exchange one to ten with Lu Bu army. But with the Jingzhou naval army! How could it be exchanged for hundreds of thousands of naval army from Jiangdong? There were so many naval army that had destroyed Liu Biao in Jingzhou long ago, and it still had to wait until now! Even if it was one to one, the Jiangdong army could not bear it. I didn’t see that Zhou Yu brought the 30,000 troops to resist the 70,000 naval army in Jingzhou!

"But what good will the Jiangdong Navy be destroyed to you!" Zhang Zhao was still a little cold. If the Jiangdong Navy be destroyed, then the entire Yangtze River would be in the hands of Liu Biao in Jingzhou. It would be of no benefit to Lu Bu at all. Even Liu Biao in Jingzhou could block the route and trap Lu Bu in Lujiang Wancheng.

"Why worry!" Yang Hong shook his head, "If you block it, just block it! Anyway, we don't have many naval forces. We were blocked by your Jiangdong naval army before. Could it be that the Jingzhou naval army can still go ashore to fight our Lu Bu army? What's more, is he Liu Biao dared! You Jiangdong can hide on the other side of the Yangtze River with natural danger, but not all places in Liu Jingzhou are on the other side of the Yangtze River!" Yang Hong was right. The Yangtze River is now blocked by the Jiangdong army, and letting Liu Biao come to Jingzhou be just a person who blocks the road! Moreover, Sun Ce's army blocks the Yangtze River and may attack Wancheng at any time, but Liu Biao in Jingzhou will not. Not to mention that Liu Biao is a man without great ambitions, even if there is Jingzhou army, he will not be the opponent of Lu Bu. Sun Ce has so many powerful generals, let alone Liu Biao!

Moreover, Liu Biao from Jingzhou dared not come to attack Wancheng! Sun Ce from Jiangdong was not afraid. If he won, he drove Lu Bu out of Lujiang. If he lost, he would withdraw his troops. There was a natural danger of the Yangtze River. You Lu Bu's army could fly over to attack me! But Liu Biao in Jingzhou was different! He still had territory in Jiangbei, and Jiangxia was closest. Jingling Xinye was a little farther away. Huangzhou was just captured by Lu Bu's army. Do you think Liu Biao dared to use troops directly against Lu Bu?

"Shi Yang Changshi, Mr. Yang Hong, Brother Yang, Brother Yang!" Zhang Zhao had already started to be shameless. Seeing that Yang Hong was still leaving, he grabbed Yang Hong's arm directly. "Brother Yang, don't leave! Let's continue talking!"

"Mr. Zhang Zhao is unwilling! The condition my Lord gave me is that if there is no such thing as a craftsman, the craftsmen who built and repaired ships, there would be no talk!" Yang Hong said calmly. Taking out the big killer of the bed crossbow, not only Liu Biao in Jingzhou would be afraid, but Jiangdong would be even more anxious. Who made his mother suffer the loss of the bed crossbow? That's the 30,000 army is not 30,000 pigs, and there are 10,000 elites in it. Ten thousand years is the same elite as Zhou Yu and the 70,000 Jingzhou naval army in Jiangxia. Even one or two of the 30,000 pigs would suddenly bite people, but the 30,000 naval army was completely finished without even spitting out a saliva!

"It's easy to discuss, it's easy to discuss!" Zhang Zhao was helpless. He didn't want to entrust Yang Hong. In this case, all the initiative was in Yang Hong's hands. It can be said that Zhang Zhao could only use words to reduce the number instead of directly rejecting it.

"Those hundred craftsmen!" Yang Hong set off the railway while it was hot. These craftsmen were the basis of all negotiations. Lu Bu did not want to be trapped on land. What he needed was a tiger on land and a dragon in the rivers. Therefore, the matter of shipbuilding must be proposed early, and it also needs to build a dock, which would take time. How much time can the world give Lu Bu now! Yuan Shao and Cao Cao confronted each other in Guandu war was about to break out, and Liu Biao and Sun Ce in Jingzhou were fighting in full swing in Jiangxia. Now is a good time for development. If you miss it, it will be really difficult for Lu Bu's army to rise again!

"Okay, I can write a book for nine hundred craftsmen, and let my master arrange it to send it here!" Zhang Zhao no longer said that it was impossible and no longer refused directly, because the bargaining chips given by Lu Bujun are too large now, which is so big that it may subvert the entire Jiangdong that Sun Ce may fail in his efforts over the years, so Zhang Zhao must agree, even if Sun Ce is unwilling to do so!

"This is the best! Since we have all discussed it, Hong will leave and report to our master and say goodbye!" Yang Hong said and was about to leave.

"Mr. Yang Hong, don't! "How could Zhang Zhao let Yang Hong go? You know, Zhang Zhao was able to agree to these 900 craftsmen because based on the bed crossbow, if the craftsmen were taken away by Liu Biao in Jingzhou in the end, then all this would be in vain!" Mr. Yang Hong didn't know about the bed crossbow!"

"Bed crossbow? That is our army's weapon, it is a killing weapon!" Yang Hong explained to Zhang Zhao in a stern manner, and the crossbow was almost blown away! Zhang Zhao didn't know these! He also knew that the crossbow was powerful and could actually shoot through the tower ship, but you can't praise it like that! You can speed up for a hundred miles with one arrow. That's not a crossbow. Then his is a missile (if Zhang Zhao knew about the missile).

"Let's offer. Mr. Yang Hong!" Zhang Zhao said to Yang Hong, staring at Yang Hong with his eyes tightly. It can be said that the main thing Zhang Zhao came here this time was to inquire about the news of the bed crossbow. This thing poses too great a threat to Jiangdong.

"If you don't sell, don't sell. This is a powerful weapon for the country. How can you buy and sell it?" Yang Hong showed a firmness, that is, don't sell it. This look is very confusing, as if this thing is impossible to buy and sell, but it will not sell even at a high price!

If you don’t sell it, you say Liu Biao, Jingzhou who is wool, if you don’t sell it, why should you seduce Zhang Zhao? He is so determined, and his face is so thick that he doesn’t blush when he tells lies.

In fact, Zhang Zhao wanted Yang Hong. In fact, Yang Hong really didn't want to sell this crossbow. The only one who really showed up was the first one. The first one almost killed Sun Ce. The second time he shot through a well railing, and the third time he became stronger and directly sent Sun Ce's 30,000 naval troops into the Yangtze River. This kind of thing should have been held in his hand and hidden in his palm. Finally, he took it out and gave the enemy a fatal blow, instead of taking it out now that the higher price will be paid. He would have to pay a big price in his greed for such a cheaper family, but the young lord of Liu Mang, who was determined to sell it, and he had no choice.

"Mr. Yang Hong, as long as I have something in Jiangdong, you can just bring it up!" Zhang Zhao spent a lot of money. Even if he took out tens of thousands of dollars, he would buy this thing back. In order to ensure the stability of Jiangdong, everyone has seen the power of the bed crossbow. If they get this thing, their Jiangdong naval army will really be like a tiger. The Jiangxia dilemma will be changed immediately. The Jiangdong naval army loaded with the bed crossbow can resist it!

After taking Jingzhou, we will come to calculate the previous grudges with Lu Bujun.

"Ten thousand gold!" Yang Hong opened his mouth. He spoke loudly. The nine children of the gentry were only nine thousand gold in total, but now a crossbow costs ten thousand gold.

"Yes!" Zhang Zhao gritted his teeth and said, "There is ten thousand gold in Kuaiji's mansion now. This ten thousand gold was originally something that Jiangdong continued to buy and sell war horses like Liaodong, and it was also for the preparation of food and grass. It is now going to be taken out.

"Haha!" The number of 10,000 gold that Yang Hong said was not casually said, but a number given by Chen Gong. He slowly drew words from the mouths of the nine gentry children and knew where Kuaiji's tax burden is now mainly used, one is food and grass and the other is war horses!

"There are two thousand shipbuilders! No, let's make up 3,000 in total with the previous ones!" Yang Hong continued to increase his bargaining chips. Three thousand shipbuilders, plus ten thousand gold, exchange this price for bed crossbow technology.

"Three thousand craftsmen!" Zhang Zhao was stunned. Three thousand craftsmen! You should know how many shipbuilding craftsmen there are in Jiangdong, it is only less than 10,000 yuan. Now you will be extorted three thousand and ten thousand yuan plus ten thousand gold. Now Zhang Zhao finally feels that he has fallen into a conspiracy.

"Can you lose a little?" Zhang Zhao asked carefully. "It's hard for us in Jiangdong to take out so much for a while!"

"Then forget it!" Yang Hong shook his head, and he did not bargain with Zhang Zhao. "The drawings of this crossbow are only very complicated. If they take half a month to draw them, they should sell them to Liu Jingzhou first. When will General Sun Ce get rich, come!"

It would take half a month to draw a drawing? If you get it first by Liu Biao in Jingzhou, there might be a big change in half a month. Once Liu Biao loads the crossbow onto the warship, it will be Sun Ce's army's nightmare. Even if Jiangdong gets it again later, Zhou Yu's 30,000 main naval forces will be lost! Jiangdong can't afford this price!

"Okay!" Zhang Zhao finally knew that he was slaughtered as a pig, but there was no way. Who told them to lose in the war? Who made the 30,000 pigs not good enough to be sent directly to the Yangtze River? Now Zhang Zhao hated Jiang Qin and Lu Su to death. You just want to say that you two are in the Great Village of the Wancheng Water Army! Why do you have to come out to fight the Yangtze River with them? Now it's okay! They are all sent to the bottom of the river to feed the turtle! Zhang Zhao is already confused. You have to know that they have a 30,000 army, and the enemy is only 7,000. It is Jiang Qin who used the decisive general to appear on the river. Jiang Qin has never seen a bed crossbow, nor can he think that such a thing can change the end of a battle.

"However, Brother Yang Hong, Zhao has a request, that is, this first drawing must be given to us in Jiangdong. Even if Brother Yang Hong, you have other drawings, you will give to Jingzhou in a month."

"This is not easy to deal with! It's not good if you don't sell it to others, right?" Yang Hong was very embarrassed.

"Add five hundred, plus five hundred craftsmen, I just want Brother Yang Hong to be trustworthy, and don't give Jingzhou Liu Biao a drawing, and do whatever you want in a month!" What Zhang Zhao wanted was to create a bed crossbow in this month, so he would set the overall situation of Jiangxia after a difficult time. Even if Jingzhou got it, as long as the Jiangdong Army guarded the Red Cliff, Jingzhou Liu Biao would have no choice but to retreat.

"It's still not possible!"

“Add another hundred!”

"How can this be done! You must know that our Lu Bu army is a perfect match!"

"two hundred!"

"three hundred!"

"I'll give you a total of four thousand! If Brother Yang Hong continues like this, then Zhao will be helpless!"

"Okay! Since Brother Zhang Zhao has said that, if I, Yang Hong, don't give face, I really look down on Brother Zhang Zhao! Four thousand, only four thousand! Even if I, Yang Hong, are scolded by the lord, I will help Brother Zhang Zhao delay it for a month!" Yang Hong gritted his teeth and seemed to have made great sacrifices, but in fact he was laughing in his heart, it was just a month! I promised you that I would not give Jingzhou drawings, but you didn't stop me from not giving the physical objects! I just gave Liu Biao a bed crossbow in Jingzhou! One thousand craftsmen were added in vain.

Both sides agreed, and they were naturally happy. What Zhang Zhaolei is that although he had a lot of blood, he could take down the entire Jiangxia with this crossbow. The price of Jiangxia was much smaller than that. Even if he gave four thousand craftsmen, the Lu Bu navy was not as fast as he did. You must know that four thousand craftsmen Sun Cejun could not give those high-level craftsmen. Basically, they could repair boats, and good craftsmen could not take them out!

Now Zhang Zhao has also obtained a crossbow. It can be said that the threat brought by Lu Bu's naval army to the Jiangdong naval army disappeared. With the Baishu warship in Jiangdong, who is his opponent on the Yangtze River? Then, the Lu Bu's army was blocked directly on the Yangtze River, and the naval army that guarded Jiangxia and blocked Jingzhou Liu Biao in Chibi and then fought with all his strength against Lu Bu.

Yang Hong was also happy! Originally, the minimum conditions given by Chen Gong and Lu Bu were two thousand craftsmen and the families of the Danyang soldiers. Only with two thousand craftsmen could they develop the navy, and only those families could they have the hearts of the Danyang soldiers. But now! Four thousand craftsmen were twice as many as 19,000 gold, which were comparable to the taxes of Lujiang for one year. How could they be unhappy!

The two of them complement each other very well at the banquet. You call me a virtuous brother, I call me a big brother! I am happy. Who would have known that the two were still quarreling just a few hours ago during the day, and the lord behind them even became angry and killed and injured tens of thousands of soldiers. There is only eternal benefit among the princes but no eternal enemies! (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
