He made such a big move in Kuaiji, Jiangdong, and he was not idle in Wancheng and Jingzhou. Kuai Liang's face was full of red, because his visit this time can be regarded as a bumper harvest! Not only did he rescue Huang She, but he also got the bed crossbow. Although he didn’t have the blueprints, it didn’t matter. The most important thing was that he got the twenty-two Lu Bu army’s buildings. Even if he went back to make these bed crossbows, it would take time. But now it’s good to get these buildings and ships directly without debugging, just let Jiangxia’s water army board the warships. .
The most important thing is that Lu Bu gave Kuai Liang a message that their Lu Bu army did not want to gain a foothold in the Yangtze River. His purpose of selling these warships was to tell Kuai Liang that their Lu Bu army had always been going north, not south!
Where is the north, that is the Central Plains, there is Cao Cao there, there is Yuan Shao, these are not what Liu Biao of Jingzhou wants to face, but now Lu Bu is going north, isn't it clear that he wants to deal with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao!
Coupled with the fact that Lv Bu had animosity with these two people, Kuai Liang naturally believed that Yuan Shao was driven out of Hebei by Lv Bu, and Lao Cao directly took Lv Bu's Xuzhou. Therefore, Kuai Liang believed everything Lu Bu said.
These warships and Huang She cost the entire Jingzhou 50,000 gold, and there are more than 6,000 navy craftsmen, but Kuai Liang thinks it is worth it. Their background in Jingzhou is much stronger than that of Jiangdong, and the gold is just for sale. There are salt and iron, and there are more than 15,000 craftsmen in the navy in Jingzhou, and now there are more than 9,000 people who have given 6,000. Lu Bujun now has 6,000 craftsmen, which is not as good as Jingzhou. He is not going to set foot on the Yangtze River anymore. He wants craftsmen because he wants to go to Shouchun, to go to Yingshui to develop the navy, and then to Xuzhou to find trouble with Lao Cao. Why not do it!
You must know that Zhang Xiu of Yangwan City in Jingzhou is to deal with Cao Cao, and now there is a free character to help you deal with Cao Cao in Jingzhou, it is too late to be happy, Kuai Liang wants to go back this time and tell Liu Biao to let him shrink The support for Zhangxiu in Wancheng, after consuming so much food and grass every year, does not seem to make any progress. Even a while ago, there was a scene where Zhangxiu wanted to surrender to Lao Cao. Zhang Xiu's aunt, Zou, made Zhang Xiu lose face, maybe now Wancheng belongs to Lao Cao!
This kind of two-five-year-old spends so much money on food every year, it may be a hungry wolf that cannot be fed.
"Brother Zirou, I don't know what day we will meet again today!" Yang Hong's smile disappeared, and it turned into a kind of deep sadness. Yang Hong is very good at acting and pretending, if Without this kind of acting skills, how could he be favored by Yuan Shu!
"Brother Yang Hong, don't say that. This time when Liang goes back, he may tell my lord that he has come to sign an alliance contract with Lu Xuzhou! We will still meet at that time, but brother Yang Hong will not Don’t entertain Liang!” Kuai Liang was in a good mood this time when he accomplished his goal easily and happily, and he and Yang Hong even called each other brothers, the two of them had no mutual benefits, but a mutual assistance relationship, of course, their relationship became better. .
"Don't worry, brother Zirou, Yang Hong will sweep the couch to welcome you!" Yang Hong looked sad on the surface but was actually very happy in his heart, forming an alliance? How can it be! Their lord, Lu Bu, wishes you and Jiangdong Sun Ce could fight to the death! Didn't forming an alliance with you scare our cute Jiangdong little overlord!
"So Liang, I will leave first!" Kuai Liang boarded the warships. These warships are the warships of the Ganning Navy, and now they all hang the flag of the Jingzhou Navy, and the soldiers and horses inside are also Jiangxia. The water army and bed crossbow have been corrected, and even the Ganning water army demonstrated it to these Jingzhou apprentices. There is no shortage of talents in the Jingzhou water army, and the bed crossbow has been mastered in just a day or two. The shooting method of the crossbow has formed a combat effectiveness!
"Mr. Zirou, get ready to sail!" A general of the Jingzhou navy came over and clasped his fists at Yang Hong and Kuai Liang. The anchor of the warship had been stowed and the sails were unfurled, and he was about to leave Wancheng Water. The army is in Dazhai. This general is Deng Long, a general under Jiangxia Huangzu's chair. Although he does not have a civil appointment for Gan Ning and Su Feiqiang, he is also a rare general of the navy. This time it is Deng Long's navy who is here to take over these warships.
"There will be a period later!" Kuai Liang nodded, and the warship slowly left the shore, and gradually went away. Yang Hong watched the warship go away, and then he regained his smile!
Another boy, Yang Hong knew that the Jingzhou navy sent such an elite navy to take over the twenty or so warships, not because they wanted to get familiar with them, but because they wanted to pass by Zhou Yu on the way back to Jiangxia. A flower is blooming, and there is a huge crossbow on the boat. This is what Zhou Yu must eat! Let's fight, let's fight, only if you fight more and more fiercely in Jiangxia and the Yangtze River, so that Lu Bu's army can have a chance to sweep you!
Chen Gong's strategy for Lu Bu was to use Lujiang River as the base and half of Yangzhou as his territory, and he would neither form alliances nor offend the surrounding neighbors. On the contrary, Lu Bu could also sell weapons to the surrounding neighbors and let them Play hard, because Yangzhou is the place of the Fourth World War, and Lu Bu is not good at helping anyone, so help Liu Biao eliminate Sun Ce! How can Lu Bu's army, whose navy is not strong, allocate Jiangdong with Liu Biao? It's really falling out, the big deal is that Liu Biao doesn't want Xinye Huangzhou on the north bank, but Jiangdong. With the strength of the Jingzhou navy, it can really block Lu Bu's army on the shore, and behind Lu Bu's army there is a Cao Cao who is watching covetously!
Help Sun Ce? It is even more impossible, Jingzhou Liu Biao is a sheep, then Sun Ce is a wolf, the sheep can use his horns to push you at most, at most it can hurt you, but it cannot kill you! But wolves are different, wolves want to eat meat, help Sun Ce destroy Liu Biao, then the next target of Sun Ce's attack is Lujiang, who said that Lujiang is a springboard for marching into the Central Plains! Moreover, Lu Bujun and Sun Cejun still have such a great hatred.
And the most important thing is that Lu Bu's army needs time. From the military point of view, Lu Bu's army needs to expand its army and also need to reorganize the army. Gan Ning's naval forces also need to be expanded. Most of these naval forces are recruits. Although they have secret weapons, the low quality of the naval forces will always be a shortcoming!
Politically, only a stable territory, a territory that can stably produce food and grass is the basis for future wars. If you can't even be self-sufficient in food and grass, how can you send troops! Therefore, Lu Bu's army urgently needs time, and like Jiangdong Jingzhou and Cao Cao, they all have a sufficient rear area, and their food, grass and soldiers are continuously imported, even if Jiangdong lost 100,000 troops in Wancheng this time. , But when you go back and mobilize, you can have another 100,000 troops. This kind of war potential is not comparable to that of Lu Bu, who only has an army!
Wancheng Taishou Mansion, in Liu Mang's room, a strong general was looking straight at Liu Mang.
Liu Mang took a sip of tea, ate some pastries, and read the books for a while. Those books were all brought by Liu Mang from this world. There are too many knowledge systems in them. Liu Mang is a student of finance. How can he know these things? He could only grope and imitate step by step. After reading a long section, Liu Mang raised his head and looked at the general standing in front of him.
"Why are you so angry!" Liu Mang looked at Gan Ning who looked like a little daughter-in-law and wanted to laugh but couldn't. This is Gan Ning, Gan Xingba! This is the Jiaolong who used to roam the Yangtze River. This is a character that even Sun Ce has a headache for! But now he stayed in his study for more than two hours, just looking at himself like that, feeling extremely wronged.
"The last general doesn't dare!" Gan Ning said so, but his unconcealed expression forced him, he still didn't dare! The expression on this face is almost saying that you owe me money, but this look still has a hard mouth.
"You!" Liu Mang almost didn't recognize Gan Ning in front of him. This Gan Ning was a rebellious character. He didn't even give Lu Meng face. You must know that Lu Meng was his boss at that time. His boss begged him not to kill a servant in Gan Ning's family, but Gan Ning apparently agreed to kill that servant as soon as he returned. The servant was killed! Lv Meng was so angry that he directly ordered his soldiers to kill Gan Ning, but Gan Ning collapsed on the ground like a rascal.
And the current Gan Ning is the Gan Ning who brushed up the scoundrels! "Speak up! Tell me all your dissatisfaction, or you will suffocate to death!" Liu Mang said to Gan Ning with a smile. He knew that Gan Ning couldn't hide his words. What will happen!
"The last general, the last general just doesn't understand why the young master wants to give those warships to the Jiangxia Navy!" Gan Ning spoke, and the tone of his opening was questioning. If it was an ordinary person, he would have jumped up, you are a little general How dare you speak to your boss like this, with a questioning tone, you want to rebel! Under Huang Zu's command, he might have been pushed out and cut off, but Liu Mang knew that Gan Ning had such a temper. If he hadn't had Su Fei's help when he was under Huang Zu's command, he would have died countless times!
The reason why Gan Ning was unhappy was because of this warship! Originally, there were few warships in Gan Ning's navy, but now Lu Bu has expanded his men and horses. Now the navy has reached 12,000 people, and the warships are even more insufficient, but now all the warships are taken by Liu. Mang packed it up and sold it to Liu Biao of Jingzhou. Could it be that Gan Ning was going to fight at someone's house with a windsurfing raft in the future
"Didn't those warships replace those craftsmen who built them!" Liu Mang replied knowingly, because only the 20 or so warships could have those 6,000 craftsmen! There are ten thousand people, and these people are all talents! With them, there will be a steady stream of warships launched. Twenty warships can be exchanged for so many craftsmen, which is a big profit.
"However, those craftsmen can't immediately launch warships! Young master, you must know that those high-rise ships are very difficult to build. It may take half a year for a high-rise ship to launch!" Gan Ning was explaining something, these craftsmen are good, But you can't change into a warship right away! It takes a long time to build a building ship, and the shipyard needs to be repaired in Shouchun before the ship can be built.
"Who said I'm going to build those buildings!" Liu Mang finally got to the key point, building buildings? Are you kidding me! That kind of building boat is completely a kind of ornamental boat, which can only be used for traveling along the river, and used as a battleship? Once the wind and waves are too big, it will be overturned directly. If this is the case in the river, it is needless to say in the sea. Liu Wei's definition of Gan Ning's navy is the navy! That's right, the navy, the navy and the navy are completely different things, one is calm inland, the other is rough sea, you think Liu Mang will spend money to think about building a navy again!
"If you don't build buildings and boats, what will you build?!" Gan Ning was confused. To know whether a navy can really scale up now depends on the construction of buildings and boats. Whoever has the largest buildings and boats will be the overlord on the water. Yes, this is farting!
"Look for yourself!" Liu Mang smiled and threw a blueprint to Gan Ning, on which a tall and large ship appeared. The flat-bottomed boats of the old building boats use a triangular hull as the bottom of the boat. Such a warship will reduce resistance in the river and sea and be able to enter the sea and enter the sea! And the building boat was overturned immediately when it reached a place where the waves were a little bigger! So now even the warships that go out to sea in Jiangdong know that the building boats can't be used at all, and they use small boats!
The displacement of the entire warship can reach 500 tons. This is Liu Mang's first experimental ship. It can satisfy both rivers and offshore areas in the sea. Although a building ship from the Three Kingdoms period is bigger than the warship in front of us It needs to be a bit bigger, but there are too many superstructures in the building, so there are very few loading personnel, but Liu Mang's blueprint is different, he can hold a cup more people than the building of the same size!
Moreover, the warship given by Liu Mang is a Galen ship (not Demacia). It is tall, but now because of the appearance of the bed crossbow, it will be more of a long-range strike in the future. If the superstructure is too high, it may bring that the upper-level command has been taken care of. That's why Liu Mang took out this Galen ship.
"But this kind of warship can really run smoothly in the water!" The bottom of the boat is too sharp, Gan Ning is very puzzled, such a boat will not capsize!
"So what is needed now is for those craftsmen to build and experiment!" The most important point in making a Galenic ship is the keel. Warships are divided into flat-bottomed boats and keeled boats. The keel is located in the middle of the bottom of the ship. Because there is a "spine", the earliest wooden sailboat, the keel uses a stone trunk, and the rest of the hull is made of wood. The keel increases the longitudinal strength of the ship and improves the ability to resist wind and waves. It is one of the essential shipbuilding technologies for ocean-going ships.
This spine is not something that can be achieved just by talking about it. Liu Mang has this information in his hand, but how to do it needs to be tested. If it succeeds, then the sea will become a place full of Gan Ning's navy, and even the sea will be covered. The rivers and water armies that have crossed this mere area are still in our eyes! And Liu Mang designed a good thing for this Galen ship.
"Now Xingba, you still want the original warship!" Liu Mang looked at Gan Ning with a half-smile. The strength is above the building ships. After all, one is about 0 AD and the other is about 1600 AD. The era of the two warships is too long!
"No more!" Gan Ning believes that if the blueprint in Liu Mang's hand is real, then who in the inland river is the opponent of Lv Bu's army and water army. The blueprint says that if all installations are completed, the bed crossbow on it will no longer be There are only five, but thirty, and one side has fifteen. What a concept! The firepower of one such warship is stronger than that of the six buildings, but Gan Ning's problem came again, "My lord, you seem to have forgotten! Now we don't have warships! How do these sailors train? !” Gan Ning said the key!
"Oh!" Liu Mang was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses. He only wanted to sell those warships to the Jiangxia navy, and let them clean up Zhou Yu. After the disaster, the Jiangdong navy came out again to avenge his revenge. The scale of the war can't be controlled by fighting~! Another thing is that if you want to go to Shouchun by land, of course there is no problem. If you go by water, you will definitely go to Jiangdong. It will be bad if there is any misunderstanding!
But Liu Mang forgot that if these warships were sold, he would have no warships to train the navy! This is really a mistake! Liu Mang covered his head, but in order not to let Gan Ning see his embarrassment, he could only smile with a mysterious expression and said, "You will know Xingba later! You go back first!"
"Oh!" Gan Ning left with a half understanding.
Seeing Gan Ning leave, Liu Mang really had a headache, how did this warship come here! (To be continued.)
