The 221st chapter wolf and sheep war (1)
There was such a big move in Kuaiji, Jiangdong. In Wancheng and Jingzhou, Kuai Liang was full of red light, because he came this time, which was a great harvest! Not only did he rescue Huang Sho, but he also got the crossbow. Although there were no drawings, it didn't matter. The most important thing was that he got the twenty-two Lu Bujun's tower ships. Even if he went back to make these crossbows himself, it would take time. Now that he got these crossbows directly without debugging, he just let Jiangxia's navy board the warships.
The most important thing is that the message Lu Bu gave to Kuai Liang was that their Lu Bu army did not want to gain a foothold in the Yangtze River. The purpose of his selling of these warships was to tell Kuai Liang that their Lu Bu army had always gone north, not south!
Where is the place to go north? It is the Central Plains, there is Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. These are not what Liu Biao in Jingzhou wants to face, but now Lu Bu wants to go north. Isn’t it clear that he wants to deal with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao!
In addition, Lu Bu had a hatred with these two people, Kuai Liang naturally believed it. Yuan Shao was driven out of Hebei by Lu Bu, and Lao Cao even directly seized Lu Bu's Xuzhou. The impression of Lu Bu was that of everyone was that kind of person who was vengeful, so Kuai Liang believed everything Lu Bu said.
These warships plus the yellow shooting phone cost 50,000 gold in Jingzhou, and more than 6,000 naval craftsmen, but Kuai Liang felt it was worth it. Their Jingzhou foundation is much stronger than Jiangdong. These golds are sold for salt and iron. In Jingzhou, there are more than 15,000 naval craftsmen, and now they are given more than 6,000. There are more than 9,000 people. Lu Bu's army now has 6,000 craftsmen, but they are not as good as Jingzhou. Besides, they are not ready to set foot on the Yangtze River. He wanted craftsmen to go to Shouchun, but to Yingshui to develop the naval army. After the difficulty of going to Xuzhou, Xudu came to Xuzhou to cause trouble for Lao Cao. Why not do this!
You should know that Zhang Xiu, who raised Wancheng in Jingzhou, was to deal with Cao Cao. Now there is a person who doesn’t want to help you deal with Cao Cao in Jingzhou. It’s too late to be happy. Kuai Liang wanted to go back and tell Liu Biao this time that he asked him to reduce his support for Zhang Xiu in Wancheng. He would not have made any progress if he consumed so much food every year. Even a while ago, there was a scene where Zhang Xiu wanted to subdue Lao Cao. If Cao Cao hadn’t been obsessed with it, he would have almost gotten to Zhang Xiu’s aunt Zou, which made Zhang Xiu unable to let go of his face, Wancheng might be Lao Cao’s now!
This kind of Erwuzi spent so much money and food every year to raise a hungry wolf that could not be full.
"Brother Zirou. I don't know when we meet again today!" Yang Hong's smile disappeared, but instead became a kind of deepness and sadness. Yang Hong is very good at acting and pretending. If he didn't have this kind of acting skills, how could he be favored in front of Yuan Shu!
"Brother Yang Hong, don't say that. When Liang returns, he may tell his master to sign an alliance contract with Lu Xuzhou! We will still meet at that time. But Brother Yang Hong should not not treat Liang at that time!" Kuai Liang completed his goal easily and happily this time and was in a good mood. He and Yang Hong also called him brothers. The two had no interest in the settlement, but instead had a mutual aid relationship, so of course they had a good relationship.
"Don't worry, Brother Zirou, Yang Hong will definitely sweep the bed to greet him!" Yang Hong was sad on the surface, but in fact he was very happy in his heart. How could it be possible! Their lord Lu Bu hopes that you will fight to death with Jiangdong Sun Ce! A alliance with you scared our cute little overlord!
"So Liang will say goodbye first!" Kuai Liang boarded the warships. These warships were the warships of the Ganning Navy. Now they were all hung with the flags of the Jingzhou Navy. The soldiers and horses inside were all Jiangxia Navy, and the bed crossbows were corrected. The Ganning Navy even demonstrated to these Jingzhou apprentices with their own hands. There was no shortage of talents in the Jingzhou Navy. In just one or two days, they had mastered the shooting method of the bed crossbows and had formed combat power!
"Mr. Zirou, we are ready to start the ship!" A general of Jingzhou naval army came over and clasped his fists at Yang Hong and Kuai Liang. The anchor of the warship had been put away and the sails were opened, so he was about to leave the Wancheng naval camp. This general was named Deng Long, who was under the Huang Zushi in Jiangxia. Although he did not have Wenpeng Ganning Su Feiqiang, he was also a rare naval general. This time he came to take over these warships, which was Deng Long's naval army.
"There will be a date later!" Kuai Liang nodded, and the warship slowly left the shore and gradually left. Yang Hong only regained his smile as he watched the warship go away!
Another 25th boy, Yang Hong knew that the Jingzhou navy sent such an elite navy to take over these twenty warships, not because they wanted to get familiar with them, but to give Zhou Yu a butt on the way back to Jiangxia, with a giant crossbow on the tower ship. This is a loss. Zhou Yu must eat it! Fight, fight, only you fight more and more fiercely in Jiangxia and the Yangtze River, so that Lu Bu's army can have the opportunity to sweep you!
The strategy Chen Gong set for Lu Bu was to use Lujiang as the base and half of Yangzhou as the territory, and neither form an alliance nor offend the surrounding neighbors. On the contrary, Lu Bu could also sell weapons to the surrounding neighbors so that they could fight happily, because Yangzhou was a place of four battles, and Lu Bu was not good at anyone, helping Liu Biao eliminate Sun Ce! How could Lu Bu's army, which is not strong in the navy now, allocate Jiangdong to Liu Biao? It's really a big deal. At worst, Liu Biao doesn't want Xinye Huangzhou on the north bank, as long as Jiangdong, with the strength of the Jingzhou navy, it can really block Lu Bu's army on the shore, and there is a Cao Cao who is eyeing him behind Lu Bu's army!
Helping Sun Ce? It is even more impossible. Liu Biao in Jingzhou is a sheep, so Sun Ce is a wolf. The sheep can use his horns to hit you at most, and can hurt you at most, but cannot kill you! But the wolf is different. The wolf wants to eat meat. If Sun Ce destroys Liu Biao, then the next target of Sun Ce's attack is Lujiang. Who said Lujiang is the springboard for entering the Central Plains! Moreover, Lu Bu's army and Sun Ce's army still have such a great hatred.
And the most important thing is that the Lu Bu army needs time. In terms of military, the Lu Bu army needs to expand its army and also needs to rectify its army. From the army to the city management black chess army, the elite troops are very difficult to train. In terms of the navy, Gan Ning's navy also needs to be expanded. Most of these navy soldiers are new recruits. Although they have secret weapons, the quality of the navy is not high, it will always be a shortcoming!
Politically, there is only a stable territory and a territory that can produce food and grass stably is the foundation for future wars. If even food and grass cannot be self-sufficient, how can we send troops? Therefore, the Lu Bu army urgently needs time. For example, Jingzhou, Jiangdong and Cao Cao, their food and grass soldiers have a sufficient rear, and their food and grass soldiers are constantly imported. Even if Jiangdong lost 100,000 troops in Wancheng this time, they can have another 100,000 troops once they mobilized. This kind of war potential is not comparable to that of Lu Bu, a half-bachelor who is a military man!
The prefect of Wancheng was in Liu Mang's room. A strong general was looking straight at Liu Mang.
Liu Mang took a sip of tea, ate a little pastry, and read the books for a while. All of them were brought by Liu Mang from the present world, and there was too much knowledge system in it. Liu Mang was a finance student. He could only explore and imitate them step by step. After reading a long passage, Liu Mang raised his head and looked at the general standing in front of him.
"Why are you angry?" Liu Mang looked at Gan Ning, who was like a young wife in front of him and wanted to laugh, but couldn't laugh. This is Gan Ning, Gan Xingba! This is the dragon that once lingered on the Yangtze River. This is the person who made Sun Ce headache! But now he stayed in his study for more than two hours, and just looked at him, feeling so wronged.
"I dare not!" Gan Ning said this, but his expression that he would not hide was betrayed him, and he still didn't dare! The expression on his face almost said that you owe me money, but he looked very hard on his mouth.
"You!" Liu Mang almost didn't know Gan Ning in front of him. This Gan Ning was a rebellious person. In Jiangxia, he dared to mock Huang Zu's son Huang Sheleng Noo. On the original trajectory, he didn't even give Lu Meng a face. You must know that Lu Meng was his boss at that time. His boss was like he begging him not to kill a servant in Gan Ning's family, but Gan Ning on the surface agreed to kill the servant as soon as he went back! Lu Meng was so angry that he directly pointed the troops to kill Gan Ning, but Gan Ning collapsed to the ground like a scoundrel.
And now Gan Ning is the scoundrel Gan Ning! "Tell me! Tell me all my dissatisfaction, otherwise I will be suffocated to death!" Liu Mang said to Gan Ning with a smile. He knew that Gan Ning could not hide his words. What would happen if he didn't let him vent his words!
"The last general, the last general just doesn't understand why the young lord wants to give those warships to the Jiangxia navy!" Gan Ning spoke, and he spoke in a questioning tone. If it were an ordinary person, he would have jumped up long ago. You, the last general, dared to speak to your boss like this. Are you trying to rebel in the questioning tone! You might have been pushed out and cut off under Huang Zu's command, but Liu Mang knew that Gan Ning had such a temper. If he hadn't been under Huang Zu's command, he would have died many times long ago if he hadn't had Su Fei's help!
The reason why Gan Ning was unhappy was because of this warship! Originally, there were few warships in the Gan Ning naval army, but now Lu Bu has expanded his troops to him. Now the navy has reached 12,000, and the warships are even less than enough. But now all the warships have been packaged and sold to Liu Biao in Jingzhou. Will Gan Ning take the windsurfing raft to his own house to fight in the future?
"Aren't those warships replaced by those shipbuilding craftsmen?" Liu Mang replied knowingly, because those twenty warships could only have the six thousand craftsmen, plus the craftsmen in Jiangdong. Now there are ten thousand people in the Lu Bu army. These people are all talents! Only with them can there be a steady stream of warships launched. Replacing so many craftsmen with twenty warships is a big profit.
"But, those craftsmen cannot go out to the warship immediately! Young lord, you need to know that those craftsmen are difficult to build. It may take half a year to launch a craftsman!" Gan Ning was explaining what, these craftsmen are good, but they cannot go out to the warship immediately! It took a long time to build a craft, and after going to Shouchun, you have to repair the dock before you can build a ship.
"Who said I want to build those tower ships!" Liu Mang finally talked about the key point, building tower ships? Are you joking! That kind of tower ship is completely a kind of viewing ship, which can only be used along the river to travel and be used as warships? Once the wind and waves are too heavy, it will be directly overturned. If it is like this in the river, there is no need to mention it in the sea. Liu Mang defined the Ganning Navy as the navy! That is, the navy and the navy are completely different things. One is the calm inland and the other is the surging waves in the sea. Do you think Liu Mang would think about it and build the navy again!
"What are you building if you don't build a building ship?!" Gan Ning was confused. You have to know whether a navy army can really reach a scale now depends on the construction of the building ship. Whoever has the big building ship is the overlord of the water. If you don't build a building ship, you'll still be a fucking spree!
"Look at it for yourself!" Liu Mang smiled and threw a drawing to Gan Ning. The figure of a tall ship appeared on it. What Liu Mang gave Gan Ning was a kind of sail warship. It was not a flat-bottomed ship of the traditional tower ship, but a triangular hull as the bottom of the ship. Such a warship would reduce resistance in the rivers and seas, and then enter the sea estuary and enter the sea! The tower ship was directly overturned when it reached a place with a larger wave. So now even the warships going to the sea in Jiangdong know that the tower ships cannot be used at all, and they all use some small boats!
The displacement of the entire warship can reach 500 tons. This is just Liu Mang's first experimental ship. He can not only satisfy rivers but also cruis in the near-shore areas of the sea. Although a tower ship in the Three Kingdoms period is a little larger than the warship in front of him, there are too many superstructures on the tower ship, so there are very few people loading. Liu Mang's drawings are different. He can hold more people than the tower ship at the same size!
Moreover, the warship given by Liu Mang was the Garen ship (not Demacia). This was a ship that put all the superstructures of the entire ship into the ship. Before, because everyone needed to fight on the sidelines, the superstructure was very tall. Now, because of the emergence of the crossbow, it is more of a long-range strike in the future. If the superstructure is too high, it may bring that the commander of the upper level was taken care of by someone. So Liu Mang took out this Garen ship.
"But such a warship can really run smoothly in the water!" The bottom of the ship is too sharp. Gan Ning was very puzzled. Such a ship will not capsize!
"So what is needed now is those craftsmen to build and experiment!" The most important thing in building a Galen ship is the keel. The warship is divided into flat-bottomed ships and keeled boats. The keel is located in the middle of the bottom of the ship. It is a reinforced longitudinal structure, equivalent to having a "spine". The earliest wooden sailboats used stone trunks, and the rest of the hull are wooden boards. The keel increases the longitudinal strength of the ship and improves its ability to resist wind and waves. It is one of the indispensable shipbuilding technologies for ocean-going ships.
This spine cannot be successful by saying it. Liu Mang has this information in his hand, but he still needs to experiment on how to do it. If it is successful, the sea will become a place where the Ganning naval army is crisscrossing, and even the sea is crisscrossing by the rivers. This mere river naval army is still taken seriously! And Liu Mang designed a good thing for this Galen ship.
"Now Xingba, do you still want the original warship!" Liu Mang looked at Gan Ning with a smile. The overall data of this kind of warship is more than twice as high as that of a tower ship. Not only is the speed and attack strength, they are all above the tower ship. After all, one is something around 200 AD and the other is something around 1600 AD. The era when the two warships took off is too long!
"No!" Gan Ning believes that if the drawings in Liu Mang's hand were real, then who is the opponent of the Lu Bu Navy in the inland river? The drawing says that if all installations are completed, the bed crossbows on it will no longer be just five, but thirty, fifteen on one side. What is this concept! A warship like this is more powerful than six tower ships, but Gan Ning's problem comes again. "Young lord, you seem to have forgotten! We don't have warships now! How do these naval soldiers train!" Gan Ning said the key!
"Oh!" Liu Mang was stunned for a moment, and then he realized. He was determined to sell the warships to the Jiangxia naval army and let them clean up Zhou Yu. After the trouble, the Jiangdong naval army's crossbow came out again, and he took revenge. As he fought, he could not hold back the scale of the war. Another thing was that it was like going to Shouchun to take the land route. If he had to take the water route, he would definitely take the Jiangdong route. It would be bad if he had any misunderstandings at that time!
But Liu Mang forgot that if these warships were sold, he would not have warships to train the navy! This was really a mistake! Liu Mang covered his head, but in order not to let Gan Ning see his embarrassment, he could only smile and show a mysterious expression and say, "You will know Xingba later! You can go back first!"
"Oh!" Gan Ning left without understanding.
Seeing Gan Ning leave, Liu Mang really had a headache. How did this warship come? (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
