Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 409
After discussing the situation on Pengcheng's side with Zhao Hong just now, after he left, Wang Zheng, who was sitting alone in the hall, put his thoughts on the side of the navy again while he was pondering.

After all, Wang Zheng chose to abandon Linzi and look eastward to Xuzhou that day. He had the idea of ​​avoiding the situation where all the heroes in the north were rising together, and first developing in the south where the competition was weak.

We must know that Sun Ce was an obvious success story in history. If we talk about the strength of the family when he started, the little bully may not be as good as the current Wangzheng. Lay the foundation of hegemony and have a systematic kingship, so naturally you will have more confidence.

If you want to pacify Jiangdong, you will naturally need a powerful navy.

Xuzhou's navy. It's not easy to say, and it has nothing to do with the word powerful.

However, Wang Zheng's mentality is very open. Compared with the top and the bottom, there is more than the bottom. Compared with Jingzhou and Yangzhou, his own navy is far inferior, but compared with Jizhou and Yanzhou, it is much stronger, right?

Before Cao Cao unified the north and captured Jingzhou, wasn't the navy unable to take action?
Otherwise, how could he fall into Pang Tong's serial scheme and suffer the disastrous defeat of Chibi?

At least for now he is not starting from scratch.

In Wang Zheng's mind, the next step to strengthen Xuzhou's navy is nothing more than three aspects: ships, sailors, and excellent naval commanders.

Sending Chen Jiao to join forces with the Bohai bandits to attack Donglai was to prepare for the last item.

Xuzhou is currently short of warships, so we can buy and build them at the same time, and the soldiers are unfamiliar with water warfare, so we can contact and practice, but these things are different from capturing several coastal islands, we must be fully prepared, and we must have a detailed plan. Before Chen Jiao returned, all Wang Zheng could do now was cross the river by feeling the stones.

First of all, it is natural to build ships. He has paid attention to it a long time ago. There are lush mountains and forests in the area of ​​Pengcheng, and there is a lot of wood available. However, Xiapi, Pengcheng, Tanxian, and Langya, these places have developed river systems or are close to the sea, so they can build ships. There are also quite a few craftsmen.

Speaking of it, Xuzhou's naval forces have not yet reached a large scale, and geographical location is not the main reason. It is more because the officials of the past dynasties have not paid attention to it.

Moreover, Huang Zhong under his command is from Jingzhou. Although in the original history, this tiger general did not have any performance in water warfare, but when chatting before, Wang Zheng also heard that when Emperor Wu conquered North Korea in the past, , his ancestor was an official in charge of supervising shipbuilding. With this origin and his hometown background, he also knows a thing or two about shipbuilding.

With this thought in mind, Wang Zheng immediately issued an order: "Order Huang Zhong, Zhang Zhao, Guo Jia and others to come to the mansion in the afternoon, and I will go to the shipbuilding department with the general in the afternoon."

"Here."

After arriving at the shipbuilding department, Wang Zheng and the others were all laymen, and it was difficult to judge the ability of the chief official for a while, but it was obvious that the dock in Xiapi was too small.

It may be barely enough to build small and medium-sized ships for civilian and commercial purposes, but it is really a little bit reluctant for large-scale buildings required by the military.

Building a dock must be close to the water, and if you want to meet Wang Zheng's strategic plan, you need to choose near the river and sea.

After some discussion, the next morning, under the leadership of Wang Zheng, everyone headed east.

There are no large rivers and rivers in Xuzhou, so from the very beginning, it was necessary to consider the choice of several coastal cities. Ganyu and Haixi were the first options to be eliminated, and finally only Qu County was left.

Without him, Qu County is not only close to the sea, but also has a small island called Linqu on the opposite side. The two formed an area with gentle water flow, which can be said to be a very suitable dock manufacturing point.

More importantly, the forests on Linqu Island are prosperous, and there is a natural iron mine, which directly prepares the two major raw materials for shipbuilding.

Of course, Wang Zheng felt that this place must be very suitable when he first saw the map.

The reason is that he has escaped from the state of blind eyes after traveling so far. Many cities in the Eastern Han Dynasty, especially the easily recognizable corners, in fact, Wang Zheng has been able to vaguely guess their names thousands of years later.

Xuzhou is the northern part of Jiangsu where most of the celestial dynasty will be in the future, so Qu County is probably Lianyungang.

If such a place is not suitable for building a dock, then where else is it suitable in the territory?

Although the Bohai Sea was a few hundred miles to the north of Zhao County in Qi County at the beginning of the crossing, this was the first time Wang Zheng came to the sea in this life.

As far as the eye can see, water birds fly low, sea fish leap into the water, and fishing boats haunt the vast expanse of blue waves. The world's most wonderful moving picture scroll.

The salty sea breeze is blowing on the face, bringing a cool feeling, which is even more refreshing.

Pointing at the poetic and picturesque scenery in front of him with his horsewhip, Wang Zheng looked around and laughed loudly: "If it wasn't for the fact that you are going to go together, Fengxiao, Mr. Zhang, how could you appreciate such a scenery while lying on your desk all day? "

When everyone heard the words, they all nodded.

At this time, the county lord and county lieutenant of Qu County had already brought a group of people waiting there. Wang Zhengwen rejected the suggestion to go to the city to rest first, and just asked the front to lead the way, and then they walked along the coastline through several salt fields, Fishing ground, I saw several places along the way, and finally turned to a bay that was sunken inward.

In comparison, this one is the best.The area is large enough, the sea is not deep, and there are no large reefs.Not only is it flat, but it is also convenient for defense. There is a small fishing village not far from the shore, and across the sea, you can clearly see Linqu Island, which is only a few miles away.

Wang Zheng was very fond of this bay, and then consulted Guo Jia, Huang Zhong and others for their opinions, and they all agreed.

"Since the dock is located here, this place will be the base of our navy in the future." Wang Zheng said casually, "The name Quxian is a bit of a mouthful. The author, who is an elementary school educated person, needs Baidu to know how to pronounce it. It's not very neat. Change it. Alright."

As soon as he opened his golden mouth, there would be no objection from the crowd, so Guo Jia said: "It's really not suitable for people who are crooked and dry."

The county lord accompanying him immediately joked, "If De Zhou Mu personally bestows the name, it will be a blessing to all the people in our county."

"Haha." Hearing this, Wang Zheng smiled and thought for a while, but he was out of stock. He still couldn't think of a good name, so he pointed to the sea and said, "Since it is Linhai, let's call it Haizhou."

As soon as the words came out, everyone was silent for a moment. Except for Huang Zhong, they were all well-educated people, and they had prepared a basket of good things to pour out, but they never expected that Wang Zheng would give such a name. Nothing special, nothing to boast about.

After all, not everyone is like Zhao Hong, who can boast of being a fairy to Dong Shi, no matter what, a group of people racked their brains for a long time, and finally Zhang Zhao took the lead in cheering: "This name is very good!"

"The way to choose a husband's name is nothing more than shape, meaning, harmony, and thought. The name of Haizhou is firstly the shape of the place, a city close to the sea, and secondly the meaning of the lord. This is the foundation of my navy, and thirdly. It has extraordinary significance, four and five elements are in harmony, and the simple two words have the strengths of the four, "

"This is the name of the superior!"

When these words came out, not only Huang Zhong, the county magistrate and the others were dumbfounded, but even Guo Jia, a self-confident and talented person, couldn't help but stare at Zhang Zhao beside him, secretly admiring him.

Hello Zhang Zibu!

It's really hard for you to come up with these reasons in such a short time, you really are quick-witted and thick-skinned!
At this time, the county lord also echoed: "Zhou Mu, since our county has a new name now, the name of Linqu Island is not in line with the real name. Please also ask Zhou Mu to revive his honor and name it together!"

Looking ahead, the shadows of the trees reflected in the blue waves, the clouds reflecting the sun, and the waves rippling and rippling from the swimming fishes formed a blurred picture that seemed real and unreal. However, he has completed the class leap that he has never touched in his previous life, from a desperate and precarious refugee to a powerful lord with five counties and millions of soldiers and civilians.
Isn't this kind of life like a dream?

"Hai Ke talks about Yingzhou, Yantao is faint and letter is hard to find." Staring at the waves, Wang Zheng smiled and said: "Let's call Ying Ke."

This time Guo Jia finally seized the opportunity, and immediately echoed loudly: "The name is a good name, and the poem is even better. The Yingzhe is also the sea. Not to mention the correspondence with Haizhou, but also name the subject and the guest, with a double meaning... What the lord just sang just now seems to be the beginning of the poem, is there a continuation?"

Wang Zheng laughed, but he refused to read out the whole poem about banishing immortals. He has a system of riding and cutting, but he doesn't need to rely on it to stand up. It has been selected, Mr. Zhang. When you return, you will arrange for the shipbuilders in Xiapi to move to Haizhou County as soon as possible. Once the shipbuilders gather, start immediately, and build the docks, shipbuilding platforms, etc. first."

"Here."

While talking, Wang Zheng climbed to the high ground on the shore, looked around, and then ordered to Huang Zhong and the county magistrate: "The important place of the dock needs to be closely guarded, Han Sheng, and 500 people will be stationed at that time 200 people will go to Yingke Island, the county lord, all the fishermen from the small fishing village behind will be moved to other places, within a radius of [-] miles, no fishing grounds or salt fields will be banned from now on."

"Here."

Wang Zheng and the others went around the bay again and surveyed it carefully. Huang Zhong had a family education and proposed a few things that should be paid attention to when building a dock, and the county lord took note of them one by one.

It goes without saying that since the navy's dock is built in Qu County, oh no, it's Haizhou County, the importance of this place in Xuzhou will definitely increase in the future, and during the construction of the dock, he must Cooperate well, if it is done well, needless to say about the future, if there is a slight mistake, there is no need to talk about it.

The ancients said: "Foretelling will lead to success, not forewarning will lead to failure." The dock and shipbuilding have been arranged in sevens and eights; the next step is to select sailors.

The navy was built only with no experience in all aspects, and the scale should not be large.Several people discussed for a while, and decided to temporarily set the upper limit of 5000 people, and make adjustments after Chen Jiao returned with the group of old soldiers who had experienced the war.

At present, try to select the natives along the coast and near the river as much as possible, plus some fishermen who are good at using water. I have already thought about it, for the generals, except for one Chen Jiao in the early stage, the generals must be all heavenly troops in their own team.

On the shore of the bay, we finished discussing the business.Outline the charter clearly, and the rest is execution.

It was rare to see the sea again, Wang Zheng was in high spirits, he ascended the heights and looked far away, breathing the clean air, feeling relaxed and happy. The county lord at the side seized the opportunity and immediately approached him, facing the sea breeze and showing him the beautiful scenery.

The main ministers sang and enjoyed it, and there was more and more history of changes in the king's government without a sound.

It should be known that Haizhou was originally the ancient name of Lianyungang, but it was not given this new name until 300 years later, in the seventh year of Wuding in the Northern Dynasty and Eastern Wei Dynasty.

In that year, Gao Cheng, the power minister who named him, had already completed all the preparations for seizing the throne of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, but he was assassinated by Shan Nu on the eve of receiving Zen.

When Wang Zhengdong was looking at the sea, he didn't know that the Yellow Turban comrades in the west of Shenzhou were being beaten and looking for their teeth all over the floor.

In the spring and March of the first year of Jian'an, Cao Cao, who had been recuperating for a long time, showed his fangs again.

With his general Xiahou Dun as the commander, he launched a large-scale crusade against Yuan Shu's forces and Yellow Turban bandits in Runan and Yingchuan counties in Yuzhou.

In less than ten months, the momentum was like a broken bamboo, and the seven cities were conquered. At this time, He Yi, the commander of the Yellow Turban Canal who was entrenched in Kunyang City, was sent to the city before he even had time to make any response.

Fortunately, the Yuzhou Yellow Turbans are the most loyal group of rebels in the world. After hearing the news, Liu Pi, Huang Jun, Baoman and other Yuzhou Yellow Turbans sent troops to rescue without any hesitation.

It was Liu Pi who was the first to rush to help Kunyang.

This person can be regarded as the most incompatible type of Yellow Turban Thieves with Cao Cao.

This general of the Yellow Turban Uprising Army in the late Eastern Han Dynasty had followed Yuan Shu and Sun Jian. The most exaggerated thing was that he fell in love with Liu Bei at first sight. , Liu Pi's death was also to protect Liu Bei, and he was killed by Cao Cao's general Gao Lan at that time.

It can be said that among so many forces in Yuzhou, Liu Pi never really attached himself to Cao Cao.

Surrendering is surrendering, but it is surrendering and rebelling. Here, just surrendering because of defeat, Yuan Shao turned his head and cast a wink, and immediately jumped back.

It's hard to explain why.

At this time, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the trajectory of history has long been different, and it can even be described as completely different.

Not only was Cao Cao’s military operation against Yuzhou, where Xu Du was located, nearly three months later than the original history, but the time when Liu Pi and Liu Bei met was a full five years earlier.

The only thing that remains the same is that under the amazing effect of Liu Bei's enchantment that day, Liu Pi once again fell without resistance.

This time Liu Pi did not give Runan away immediately, but after Liu Bei led the remnants of his troops to escape to Yuzhou, Liu Pi actually thought of summoning the Yuzhou Yellow Turban to retrieve Xuzhou for Liu Bei
It was not Wang Zheng's status as a fellow yellow scarf that persuaded him to give up this idea at the critical moment. After all, if he had been concerned about this, Liu Pi would not have such an idea.

It was the speech of the eldest brother Yuan Shu who took the lead.

Everyone knows that you are my little brother now, and you go to fight Wang Zheng, how does this make him think of me?

This is not easy to provoke, unless you are sure of victory, otherwise you will even implicate Lao Tzu even if you die!
Hearing that the elder brother was so cautious, Liu Pi didn't dare to be careless now, and after knowing about Wang Zheng through various news channels, Liu Pi also panicked a little.

It seems to be a bit fierce!
In just half a year, on this big stage in Xuzhou, many heroes have been defeated one after another, or anticlimactic, and the momentum is as great as Yuan Shu. It is said that even his younger brother Yuan Yin was strangled by Wang Zheng himself
In the end, he squeezed his nose and swallowed the bad breath, and continued to be an ally with Wang Zheng on the surface.

The same is true for Liu Bei. There were quite a few elites under his command at the time, not to mention Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the fierce and fierce generals who were defeated by thousands of people. Didn't they escape from Xuzhou in embarrassment after being beaten by Wang Zheng?
After summarizing the information, as long as he does not lose his mind, Liu Pi can clearly analyze it. With his own strength, he is bragging about [-] soldiers to the outside world, but he can actually fight only more than [-] troops. to Xuzhou.
I'm afraid it's not enough to fill Wang Zheng's teeth.
