Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 155 Selecting a Seaport to Build Shanghai City

"You can adjust the angle of the sail against the wind, just let the boat go sideways!" Zhang Yi said: "It's slower this way, but it can still move forward."

Meng Kang said: "This may take some time to be confirmed."

"Don't be afraid, take your time!" Zhang Yi walked up to Meng Kang and said, "I didn't just come here this time just to see the ships. Fighting on the sea. The ships that have been built in the dock here cannot be transported to the sea by the river, so I have to choose a new dock in Wu County, and this place will also be transferred to Ruxukou or even Chaisangkou. Find someone to take charge of the flat-bottomed boats in Jianghe, and you will be fully responsible for the supervision of seagoing boats in the future."

Meng Kang asked suspiciously: "My lord, it seems that we don't need a sea boat?"

Zhang Yi waved his hand to make the people around him move away, and then whispered, "I plan to build a navy within two years, go north to harass Cao Cao, and assist Yuan Shao. I need time now, and I can't let Cao Cao pacify the north."

Meng Kang said very strangely: "My lord, can you conclude that Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao? Yuan Shao is also the fourth generation and the third prince after all."

Zhang Yi said with a smile: "After Yuan Shao's failure at Guandu, the defeat has already been settled. You don't need to worry about these things. You just need to help me build a sea-going ship as soon as possible. After passing the test, you have made a great contribution! Meng Kang, You are a craftsman, I hope you will always keep your heart on technology, don't participate in any politics, and don't stand on the sidelines."

Meng Kang didn't understand what was going on, "What happened? My lord?"

Zhang Yi said: "I just want to warn you, when you get a high status in the future, don't get involved in politics, just take care of your own place."

Meng Kang nodded half understanding.

"Remember what I said, after explaining the work here, go to Ruxukou to find Gan Ning, and I will let him escort you to build the dock!"

"promise!"

Meng Kang was confused by Zhang Yi, but Zhang Yi had to warn him.His subordinates are now clearly showing a tendency to assign, whether they are summoned or not, the faction is already obvious.Liu Ye, Lu Su and other people who first took refuge in Zhang Yi began to regard themselves as old people. They occupied important positions and had great influence.The new faction is headed by Liu Muzhi, Zhu Zhi and others. They all have some Sun family backgrounds, and some are forced, or even forced, to help each other and support each other in their work.

If Zhang Yi's power hadn't been formed, the struggle between the two sides would have become more intense.

No force can avoid this situation. Yuan Shao's subordinates have already shown this situation, and Cao Cao's is also brewing.If Cao Cao's family was not huge and his family occupied important positions, this problem might have erupted as well.And Cao Cao has a good assistant, Xun Yu!The existence of Xun Yu prevented the conflicts among his subordinates from erupting. It was not until Xun Yu's death that those big families began to gain power, and finally made a wedding dress for Mrs. Sima.

Although Liu Ye and Liu Muzhi are both good counselors, they both have flaws, that is, their political abilities are not top-notch, and they will inevitably fall into internal strife.Zhang Yi now needs a political helper, at least to help him eliminate internal conflicts.If it can't be eliminated before it grows stronger, Zhang Yi can be sure that something will happen to his power.

Meng Kang quickly finished explaining about the dock, and the dock would move to Ruxukou after the current ship was built.

Gan Ning led people to protect Meng Kang and marched towards Wu Commandery. Gan Ning had received Zhang Yi's appointment as Navy Commander. He was very happy and said to Meng Kang excitedly: "Meng Rong, do you know? The wind and waves on the sea are too stormy." It’s interesting, you know? I was standing on the boat and almost got knocked into the sea.”

Meng Kang looked at Gan Ning helplessly, obviously unable to understand what this reckless man was thinking.

Sitting in the back, Li Jun and Pan Zhang looked at Meng Kang who had been bombarded by Gan Ning's words, gloating, "Old Li, how long do you think this Meng Yu can last?"

"I don't know! But I know he's annoying now!"

"Agree!"

Traveling to Wu County, the people did not disembark, but began to search for suitable places to build ports and docks around the river bank of Wu County.After searching for about a month, Meng Kang finally found a place, which is the estuary of the Wusong River (it is also the estuary of the river, but because it is so close to the sea, the ancients couldn't tell the difference).While Meng Kang sent someone to inform Li Jing that he would send someone to help build the port and dock, he also sent the design drawings of the port and dock to Shouchun and Zhang Yi's desk.

Zhang Yi saw the design drawing of the port and dock, compared it with the map of Wu County, and felt that it was a coincidence!Lou County is probably the generation of Kunshan City today, and the port and dock are almost the same as the urban area of ​​Shanghai today.

This kind of coincidence made Zhang Yi feel unbelievable. He had already thought that Meng Kang might choose Dantu (Zhenjiang), Piling (Changzhou), or even Zhangjiagang in the future, but he never thought that Meng Kang would choose Shanghai.

But seeing such a coincidence, Zhang Yi couldn't help feeling whether it was God's will?He directly gave Li Jing an order to build a military city there. The name of this city was Shanghai, and it became an independent county, directly responsible to Li Jing.

The construction of Shanghai City cannot be completed overnight, and neither can the port and dock.However, after this city is built, it will be more meaningful. He hopes that this city will be a further step for China to enter the era of sea power, and at least break the so-called first island chain and second island chain.It takes countless years to accumulate a navy, maybe hundreds or even thousands of years.He doesn’t believe it. He left an impression on China as a sea power 2000 years ago. Will China still be bullied by others in the future?

After Zhang Yi gave the order, he took his personal guards directly to the military camp to help collect food.This year Yangzhou has really had a bumper harvest. Not only the three counties of Jiujiang, Lujiang, and Yuzhang have already confirmed a bumper harvest, but Danyang and Wu counties have also had bumper harvests.It's just that when harvesting, the weather is not very good. If you don't rush to harvest, you may not be able to harvest.

There are regulations in Zhang Yi's strong military drill code. At this time, the local garrison needs to help the people harvest food.In this era when grain production is very low, grain is an important strategic resource, which must be relied on to feed people.

At this time, people hadn't learned two varieties a year. Although Zhang Yi wanted to promote it, he hadn't found winter wheat seeds yet, so he didn't dare to fully implement this decision. He could only find a piece of land to experiment until it came out. After that, he will fully promote it.
