There are 900 craftsmen and craftsmen who can repair ships. These people are all untouchables in Jiangdong, and the craftsmen belong to that kind of low-level occupation. If these people are really counted, they are worth a thousand dollars, but don't forget! These craftsmen are craftsmen who can repair ships and build ships. Each of them has their own unique skills, whether they are repairing ships or building ships. You must know that in the era of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when technology was very backward, everyone played water battles. When they were still in the rivers, Jiangdong was able to enter the sea. Although they only walked along the coastline, the risk was definitely not there. There would be some in the rivers. If one was not careful, the entire fleet could be wiped out directly. Even in modern times with advanced technology, sailing is still a technical task! Even a thousand years later, when the territory of the Yuan Empire spanned the entire Eurasian continent, there were countless good craftsmen in their hands. A navy was built, but when they attacked Japan, the whole army was wiped out because of the strong wind at sea!
The reason why the Jiangdong navy is on the Yangtze River is because the ships of the Jiangdong navy are very good, and they are better than the old Jingzhou navy. Every craftsman who builds a ship in Jiangdong is strictly controlled. Yes, these talents are the key to Jiangdong dominating the entire waters!
It is absolutely impossible for Sun Ce to allow these craftsmen to flow out. Once these craftsmen go to the territory of Cao Cao or other Central Plains princes, it means that the lead in the ships will be compared. Lu Bujun's desire for these craftsmen is beyond words. He, Lu Bu, wants to build ships, ships and warships!
In the entire Yangtze River, or in the entire world, only Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Sun Ce of Jiangdong, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao can build buildings and ships!
But Jiangdong Sun Ce is the only one who really regards craftsmen as treasures. Cao Cao is now mainly to pacify the Central Plains. , actually chained Jiang with iron chains! This is a water battle. If you tie up all the warships with iron cables, isn't this 360 degrees and no dead ends for people to attack!
Yuan Shao also has a navy, but he looks down on the navy. In his opinion, the navy is only used for transportation. They are responsible for transporting the army to the land, and the real siege is not the army. Well! Besides, Yuan Shao has so many soldiers and horses in his hands, and the navy doesn't care at all!
Jingzhou Liu Biao also attaches great importance to the navy, but the navy is basically in the hands of the Cai family and the Zhang family, so it is also very limited!
The infantry of Lu Bu's army, the Bingzhou wolf cavalry, can be regarded as the king of land warfare and the king of field battles. No matter who encounters the Bingzhou wolf cavalry, it will be a headache! Ten thousand Bingzhou wolf riders once made it difficult for the eighteen princes to move an inch in Hulaoguan. Eight hundred were trapped in the camp and dared to fight ten thousand infantry. Now there are five thousand people trapped in the camp! Although Gao Shun doesn't like to boast about these five thousand people, Gao Shun is confident. As long as it is not an army of one hundred thousand, Gao Shun will not be afraid at all! The city management army, the black chess army, and even Danyang soldiers are now under Lu Bu's command. Sun Ce's Jiangdong Army has seen these soldiers and horses before! The power of these soldiers and horses is stronger than that of Sun Ce's elite! This is where the strength of Lu Bujun lies!
The reason why Sun Ce is not afraid of Lu Bu lies in the natural danger of the Yangtze River, the strength of the navy, and the construction of warships~! He knew that Wancheng and even the entire Lujiang River did not have a shipyard for building warships, and there was not even a single craftsman. That was because after occupying Lujiang, Sun Ce packed up all the craftsmen and shipyards for building warships and went to Jiangdong. In Kuaiji, There are many docks and craftsmen! Not only warships are built here, but ordinary cargo ships are also built here! These ships are the main components of water transportation.
Although Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Sun Ce of Jiangdong are at war, they have nothing to do with those gentry and businessmen. If you fight, they will do business! As long as it doesn't involve ordnance, both sides are acquiescing. After all, everyone wants to survive. There is salt and iron in Jingzhou, but there is food in Jiangdong!
If Lv Bu is given so many craftsmen, plus a dock, then Lv Bu's army will have the ability to build ships, and there will be an additional enemy on the Yangtze River. In addition, he defeated himself!
They are powerful in combat, but their ships are weak. If one of Lu Bu's ships is lost, there will be none, but in Jiangdong, they can be built continuously. The relationship between Lu Bu's army and Sun Ce's army is like that of Japan during World War II. Same as America! Little Japan's navy is very powerful, and even the attack on Pearl Harbor sent the entire US Pacific Fleet into the sea, but don't forget, Little Japan's shipbuilding capabilities are simply impossible to match that of the United States. Day and night processing, not only half a year, a Pacific Fleet that is several times stronger than before was once again incorporated into the naval order, but the ships built by Japan were sunk and one ship was lost. It's Japanese!
If it is given to the craftsmen of Lu Bu's army, one of the biggest consequences is that there will be no restrictions on the water army of Lu Bu's army, although it is more difficult for the navy to form an army! But don't forget that Lu Bu has such a sharp weapon in his hand! A sharp weapon that can send 30,000 Jiangdong navy troops into the bottom of the river without being injured, and the sharp weapon plus the ability to build ships, then who else on the river is the opponent of Lu Bujun.
"Impossible!" Zhang Zhao refused without hesitation. Even if he didn't want any of the nine gentry children, he still couldn't teach Lu Bujun artisans! Losing the sons of the gentry will only lose the hearts of the gentry, but if you lose those craftsmen, you will lose the entire Jiangdong!
"Really can't talk about it?!" Yang Hong also knows that this matter is a bit difficult. As long as Jiang Dongjun is not a fool, he will definitely not call out the craftsmen, but now these craftsmen are Lu Bu who ordered Yang Hong to die. They must be found, otherwise Lu Bujun can only be trapped in this Jiangbei, and he can't even think about boasting half a step over the Yangtze River. Even if Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Sun Ce in Jiangdong are beaten to death and both lose, he, Lu Bu, can't even think about taking advantage of the fisherman!
If it was a few years ago, then this craftsman is really not a problem. There are not many other craftsmen in Yangzhou and Yuzhou, and there are many craftsmen who build ships. After acquiring a biological technology, Yijin could employ dozens or even hundreds of craftsmen at that time, but now, Yijin can't find a single one! Because basically the craftsmen were taken back by Jiangdong Sun Ce and Jingzhou Liu Biao! They are the overlords in the river, so they naturally don't want any latecomers to occupy their low positions, so the most powerful thing to control the water army is the ship! How can you form an army without a warship? Did you come to fight me with a bamboo boat
"Absolutely impossible!" Just as the princes in the north did not allow war horses to flow to the south, it is impossible for these princes in the south to let the construction of warships flow to the north! These are the trump cards in their hands, how could they hand them over easily.
"Then there is no other way!" Yang Hong shook his head, "It's a pity, it's a pity, then we can only talk to Liu Biaojun of Jingzhou to see if we can get these craftsmen."
"You don't have to threaten me! I've said it all. At worst, our army will withdraw from Jiangxia. At that time, Liu Biao of Jingzhou will not help you wholeheartedly to deal with me in Jiangdong! You can't get this craftsman in Jiangdong, so you want to get it in Jingzhou." Come on! It’s daydreaming!” Zhang Zhao scolded Yang Hong directly, how could the Jingzhou Navy, who is also the overlord, hand over the craftsmen, how could he not know that Sun Ce is a fierce tiger, and that Lu Bujun is not a vegetarian either. If Lu Bu's army can fight Sun Ce, why can't they fight Jingzhou? So how did Huangzhou be attacked? Now Huangshe is still in the hands of Lu Bujun!
"Who said that Liu Jingzhou is not willing! Liu Jingzhou has already lined up envoys to come, saying that he wants our bed crossbow. Hey, there are a lot of conditions! This craftsman's matter is just one of them!" Yang Hong made a gesture of pity and was about to leave.
"Wait!" Zhang Zhao suddenly stopped Yang Hong, "What did you just say? A sharp weapon on the bed?!"
"No, you heard me wrong, I didn't say anything!" Now Yang Hong was unwilling to answer, he waved his hand, "Mr. Zhang Zhao, you can go back to Jiangdong tomorrow! This Jiangxia my lord has already let Gan Ning The general is back, take Lu Su and those prisoners who are willing to go back with you, too! Don’t forget to send our prisoners back! So Hong will leave!” Yang Hong was about to leave with his fists clasped.
It was Zhang Zhao's first thought not to let Yang Hong go, because what Yang Hong said was really terrible! The sharp weapon bed crossbow, the sharp weapon that sent all the 30,000 Jiangdong navy into the Yangtze River to feed the bastard without a hair, their Lu Bujun actually wanted to talk to Liu Biao of Jingzhou! If only Lu Bu's family had this bed crossbow, Jiangdong's army would not have to worry about it. After all, Lu Bu's army did not know how to build ships, and Lu Bu's navy was not an opponent of Jiangdong's navy in terms of overall quality. The deterrent capability of the military is much stronger than the actual combat capability! Therefore, Liu Biao in Jingzhou is still the enemy of the Jiangdong Army, and Lu Bujun is just putting it aside and waiting for the final cleanup! But now that Jingzhou Liu Biao has also sent a team to negotiate with Lu Bujun, the person who named him wants the bed crossbow. Although Yang Hong denies it, the more he refuses to admit it, the more likely it is. If Jingzhou Liu Biao gets it Zhang Zhao really can’t imagine that bed crossbow. Jingzhou’s shipbuilding ability is not inferior to that of Jiangdong, and even Jiangdong is not as good as Jingzhou, because after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, like the 18th princes besieged Dong Zhuo, what Luoyang Rebellion, Chang’an Rebellion Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, and other places are at war. Only Jingzhou is truly peaceful. Even if there is war, it is also in Wancheng. Jiangxia has no influence on places like Xiangyang and Changsha in the hinterland of Jingzhou. It took a few years for the real peace to come down, and you have to know that there is still a problem with Shanyue in Jiangdong. If this problem is not resolved, then Jiangdong will not be able to stabilize! Therefore, a large number of talents and people have poured into Jingzhou, including those craftsmen who can build ships. In addition, Jingzhou is a large shipbuilding production area. In Xiangyang, where there is water near the Yangtze River, there is no dock in Jiangxia. , This is the real reason why Jiangxia has been fighting until now. Although there were many warships in the Jingzhou navy, the soldiers were not as powerful as those in Jiangdong. The generals of the navy also have Wenpin, Huang Zu, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, who are very few!
Huang Zu, Cai Mao, and Zhang Yun are all starting to grow old! How could Wenpin alone be able to support those generals and scholars in Jiangdong
But if Jingzhou gets this bed crossbow, it will really change the situation of the battle. Jingzhou has no shortage of warships and craftsmen. The 20 buildings of Lu Bu's army directly sent 30,000 troops to the bottom of the river, while Jingzhou has hundreds of ships. Warships, even if Liu Biao wants him to build them again at any time, these ships are all equipped with bed crossbows. Whether the Jiangdong navy will survive or not, the Jiangdong navy can exchange one to ten with Lu Bu's army, but the Jingzhou navy What about the army! Can they afford it? Where did hundreds of thousands of sailors come from Jiangdong? There are so many sailors who have already wiped out Liu Biao in Jingzhou, so we still have to wait until now! Even a one-to-one Jiangdong army can't stand it. I didn't see that the 30,000 horses brought by Zhou Yu had to resist the 70,000 navy army in Jingzhou!
"But what good will it do you if the Jiangdong navy is wiped out!" Zhang Zhao was still a little cold. If the Jiangdong navy was wiped out, then the entire Yangtze River would be in the hands of Jingzhou Liu Biao, which would not be good for Lu Bu at all. Even Liu Biao of Jingzhou could block the shipping route and make Lu Bu trapped to death in Lujiang Wancheng.
"Why worry!" Yang Hong shook his head, "If you're blocked, just block it! Anyway, we don't have many sailors, and we were blocked in Wancheng by your Jiangdong navy before! Could it be that the Jingzhou navy can still go ashore? Let's start a war with our Lu Bu army! What's more, how dare he Liu Biao! You Jiangdong can hide on the other side of the Yangtze River by virtue of natural dangers, but not all places in Liu Jingzhou are on the other side of the Yangtze River!" Yang Hong was right. , the current Yangtze River was originally blocked by the Jiangdong Army, and letting Liu Biao from Jingzhou come is just to change the person who blocked the road! Moreover, Sun Ce's army blocked the Yangtze River and may attack Wancheng at any time, but Liu Biao of Jingzhou will not. Not to mention that Liu Biao has no ambitions, even if there is a Jingzhou army, he will not be an opponent of Lu Bu's army. Lu Bu can't help it, let alone Liu Biao!
Moreover, Liu Biao of Jingzhou did not dare to attack Wancheng! Jiangdong Sun Ce is not afraid. If he wins, he will drive Lu Bu out of Lujiang. And Jingzhou Liu Biao is different! He still has territory in Jiangbei, Jiangxia is nearby, and Jingling Xinye is farther away. The nearest Huangzhou has just been taken down by Lu Bu's army. Do you think Liu Biao dares to directly use troops against Lu Bu!
"Yang Changshi, Mr. Yang Hong, Brother Yang, Brother Yang!" Zhang Zhao was already shameless, seeing that Yang Hong was about to leave, he grabbed Yang Hong's arm directly, "Brother Yang, don't go, don't go! Let's keep talking, keep talking!"
"Mr. Zhang Zhao is not willing! The condition my lord gave me is that craftsmen build ships and repair ships. If there are no craftsmen, then everything will be avoided!" Yang Hong said very indifferently. Taking out the big killer of the bed crossbow, not only Liu Biao in Jingzhou is going to panic, and Jiangdong is going to be even more restless. Who the fuck has already suffered from bed crossbows! That's an army of 30,000, not 30,000 pigs, there are 10,000 elites in it. In 10,000 years, Zhou Yu brought the same elites who resisted the 70,000 Jingzhou navy in Jiangxia. Even if there are 30,000 pigs, one or two will violently bite people. Well, but the 30,000 sailors were finished without even spitting out a saliva!
"Good to discuss, easy to discuss!" Zhang Zhao was helpless, and he didn't want to entrust the master Yang Hong. In this case, all the initiative is in Yang Hong's hands. It can be said that Zhang Zhao can only use words to reduce whatever Yang Hong proposes. Figure it out instead of rejecting it directly.
"Those one hundred craftsmen!" Yang Hong hit the railway while it was hot. These craftsmen were the basis of all negotiations. Lu Bu didn't want to be trapped on land. What he needed was a tiger on land and a dragon in the river, so The matter of shipbuilding must be brought up early, and there is a need to build a dock and the like, which will definitely take a lot of time, but how much time can be given to Lu Bu in this world now! The confrontation between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao is about to start at Guandu, and Liu Biao and Sun Ce in Jingzhou are also fighting in full swing in Jiangxia. Now is a good time for development. If you miss it, it will be really difficult for Lu Bujun to rise again!
"Okay, nine hundred craftsmen, I can repair a book right now, and let my master arrange to send it over!" Zhang Zhao no longer said it was impossible or refused directly, because now the leverage offered by Lu Bujun is too great. , It is so big that it may overturn the entire Jiangdong and may make Sun Ce's efforts for so many years fall short, so Zhang Zhao must agree, even if Sun Ce doesn't want to!
"This is the best! Now that we have discussed it, Hong will leave and tell my lord, farewell!" Yang Hong said a word 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 promise these 900 craftsmen because of the bed crossbow. If he was still taken away by Jingzhou Liu Biao Craftsman, then all this is for nothing! "Mr. Yang Hong doesn't know about the bed crossbow!"
"Bed crossbow? That's our army's sharp weapon, it's a killer weapon!" Yang Hong explained to Zhang Zhao sternly, blowing the bed crossbow almost to the point of hype! Didn't Zhang Zhao know about this? He also knows that this crossbow is so powerful that it can shoot through buildings, but you can't boast like that! Also, one arrow can fly hundreds of miles, so it's not a bed crossbow, so what he wants is a missile (if Zhang Zhao knows about missiles).
"Make a price, Mr. Yang Hong!" Zhang Zhao said to Yang Hong. The threat is too great.
"Don't sell, don't sell, this is a sharp weapon of the country, how can it be traded!" Yang Hong showed a kind of firmness, that is, not to sell, this appearance is very confusing, as if this thing is impossible to buy and sell High prices do not sell!
If you don’t sell it, you Jingzhou Liu Biao who talks about wool, if you don’t sell it, why would you use it to seduce Zhang Zhao! He acted so resolutely, his skin is so thick that he doesn't even blush when he tells lies.
In fact, Zhang Zhao wished for Yang Hong. In fact, Yang Hong really didn't want to sell this bed crossbow. The bed crossbow really showed up only three times. The first one almost killed Sun Ce, the second time it shot through a well, and the third More powerful directly sent Sun Cejun's 30,000 sailors into the Yangtze River. This kind of thing should be held in the palm of your hand and hidden in the palm of your hand, and then taken out to give the enemy a fatal blow, not the one with the highest price now. Well, coveting such a few cheap things will end up paying a big price, but Liu Mang's kind of patriarch, that young master is determined to sell, and he can't help it.
"Mr. Yang Hong, as long as I have what I have in Jiangdong, you can mention it!" Zhang Zhao spent all his money, even if he had to spend ten thousand gold, he would buy this thing back, so as to ensure the stability of Jiangdong, and the power of the bed crossbow They have all seen that if they get this thing, their Jiangdong navy will be even more powerful, and Jiangxia's dilemma will be changed immediately. The Jiangdong navy equipped with bed crossbows, the Jingzhou navy can resist it!
After winning Jingzhou, I will come to Lu Bujun to settle the previous grievances.
"Ten thousand gold!" Yang Hong opened his mouth, he opened his mouth like a lion, the nine noble children added up to only nine thousand gold, but now a bed crossbow costs ten thousand gold.
"Yes!" Zhang Zhao gritted his teeth and said, 10,000 gold now has 10,000 gold in the mansion in Kuaiji. This 10,000 gold was originally used by Jiangdong to continue buying and selling war horses like Liaodong, and it was also for preparing food and grass. It's time to take it out.
"Hehe!" The figure of 10,000 gold that Yang Hong said was not just casually, but a figure given by Chen Gong. Where is the tax burden mainly used, one is food and the other is war horses!
"There are still 2,000 shipbuilders! No, let's add up to 3,000 with the previous ones!" Yang Hong continued to increase the bargaining chip, 3,000 shipbuilders, plus 10,000 gold, this price was exchanged for bed crossbow technology.
"Three thousand craftsmen!" Zhang Zhao was dumbfounded, three thousand craftsmen! If you want to know how many shipbuilders there are in the entire Jiangdong, it is only less than 10,000 yuan, and now they will be blackmailed for 3,000 yuan plus 10,000 gold. Now Zhang Zhao finally feels that he has fallen into a conspiracy.
"Can it be less!" Zhang Zhao asked cautiously. "It's hard for us Jiangdong to come up with so much!"
"Then forget it!" Yang Hong shook his head, and he didn't bargain with Zhang Zhao anymore. "There is only one blueprint for this bed crossbow, which is very cumbersome. If it takes half a month to draw it again, I'd better sell it to someone else first." Liu Jingzhou, come when General Sun Ce has money!"
A drawing needs to be drawn for half a month? If Liu Biao of Jingzhou gets it first, a big change may really happen in half a month. Once Liu Biao loads the bed crossbow on the battleship, it will be a nightmare for Sun Cejun. Even if Jiangdong gets it later, Zhou Yu's 30,000 main force The navy is also lost! Jiangdong can't afford this price!
"Okay!" Zhang Zhao finally knew that he was being slaughtered as a pig, but there was nothing he could do. Who made them lose the war, and who made those 30,000 pigs be sent directly into the Yangtze River without living up to their expectations! Now Zhang Zhao hates Jiang Qin and Lu Su to death, you two can just stay in Wancheng Naval Army Dazhai well! Why do you want to come out and fight with others on the Yangtze River? It's all over now! They were all sent to the bottom of the river to be fed to bastards! Zhang Zhao was already confused. You must know that they had an army of 30,000, and the enemy only had 7,000 people. The decisive battle on the river was Jiang Qin's aggressive method. Jiang Qin had never seen a bed crossbow, nor could he imagine Then one thing can change the outcome of a battle.
"However, brother Yang Hong, Zhao has a request, that is, this first blueprint must be given to us in Jiangdong, even if you have other blueprints, brother Yang Hong, you must give it to Jingzhou after a month."
"It's not easy to handle! If people give money once, it's not good if you don't sell it to them!" Yang Hong was very embarrassed.
"Add another five hundred, plus five hundred craftsmen, I just ask you, brother Yang Hong, to keep your word, don't give Jingzhou Liu Biao blueprints, and you can do whatever you want, Brother Yang Hong after one month!" What Zhang Zhao wants is within this month. After the disaster, the overall situation of Jiangxia will be determined. At that time, Jingzhou will be obtained. As long as the Jiangdong Army guards Chibi, Liu Biao of Jingzhou will have no choice but to retreat.
"It still doesn't work!"
"Another hundred!"
"How can this be possible! You must know that our Lu Bujun is innocent!"
"two hundred!"
"three hundred!"
"I'll give you a full four thousand! If brother Yang Hong continues like this, then Zhao will be helpless!"
"Okay! Now that Brother Zhang Zhao has said so, if I, Yang Hong, don't show face, then I really look down on Brother Zhang Zhao! Four thousand, just four thousand! I, Yang Hong, will help Brother Zhang Zhao to delay even if I am blamed by the lord. Last month!" Yang Hong gritted his teeth as if he had made a great sacrifice, but in fact he was smiling inside, wasn't it just a month! I promised you that I would not give Jingzhou blueprints, but you didn't stop me from not giving the actual objects! I'll just give Jingzhou Liu Biao a bed crossbow! For no reason, there were a thousand more craftsmen.
The two sides have settled the matter, and naturally everyone is happy. Zhang Zhaole is that although he has suffered a lot of blood, he can win the entire Jiangxia with this bed crossbow. The price of the entire Jiangxia is much smaller than this, and even if he gives With 4,000 craftsmen, the development of the Lv Bu navy is not as fast as his own. You must know that the 4,000 craftsmen Sun Cejun cannot give to those senior craftsmen. Basically, they can repair ships. It is impossible for good craftsmen to come out!
And now that Zhang Zhao also got the bed crossbow, it can be said that the threat brought by Lu Bu's navy to the Jiangdong navy has disappeared. With Jiangdong's Baisou warships, who else is his opponent on the Yangtze River? At that time, Lu Bu's army will be directly blocked on the Yangtze River, and Jiangxia will guard Jiangxia in Chibi to block Liu Biao's navy in Jingzhou, and then deal with Lu Bu with all his strength.
Yang Hong is also happy! Originally, the minimum conditions given by Chen Gong and Lu Bu were 2,000 craftsmen and the families of those Danyang soldiers. Only with 2,000 craftsmen can the navy develop, and only those family members can secure the hearts of Danyang soldiers, but now! The 4,000 craftsmen have twice as many, and there are 19,000 gold, which is comparable to Lujiang's tax for a year, how can you not be happy!
The two of them complement each other very well at the banquet, you call me good brother, and I call me big brother! It was fun, who would have known that just a few hours ago during the day, the two of them were arguing with red faces, and the lord behind the two of them even raged and killed tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. There are only eternal interests among princes, but no eternal enemies! (To be continued.)
