Mythic version of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1904 Xingba

Lu Su asked Tai Shici and the others to go eastward after the formation of the navy, not to conquer anything. The Japanese islands in the late Eastern Han Dynasty had nothing to conquer. To be precise, they were not even enemies. Of course, there were shallow or even open-pit gold mines. Silver mines are really good things. After all, in terms of the technical level of this period, the difficulty of mining is more important than the amount of reserves.

Let Tai Shici go eastward, more to test another mode, that is, to use another mode when our naval combat capabilities are far inferior to the opponent's, which is the so-called long-distance voyage detour landing mode.

Of course, this method has great requirements for the materials that can be carried. If you want to transport troops, the demand for materials will increase greatly. More importantly, if you really transport cavalry as Li You thinks, the demand for materials will increase. Absolutely no joke.

When Li You and Lu Su were talking about this matter, Cai Mao was rushing to Donglai with all his subordinates and Tai Shici. It can be said that since Cai Mao left Jingxiang, he was one of the few times when he was complacent.

Huang Chengyan had already hinted to him that he would be able to become the deputy commander immediately after he came, and now Cai Mao was really shocked when he saw the big ship of the Lu family parked at Donglai Port.

"There is such a huge ship. The Lu family's shipbuilding technology is really unparalleled in the world." Cai Mao looked at the big ship parked in the port. became a son.

"This is the seventh-generation ship of our army, and it is also the flagship originally prepared for General Gan. Now we are taking over it." Tai Shici looked at this large ship and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If you lose the Guishuang Navy, you won't fall to this point, and you can escape if you can't beat it.

【Xingba, I will definitely avenge you. 】Tai Shici stared at the flagship and took a deep breath, and once again strengthened his determination.

"Ah!" Gan Ning rubbed his nose, and began to direct his Guishuang navy to practice sharp turns. After such a long time of training, Gan Ning finally got to the point of practical operation. Of course, these technical Things, he is still relatively slick.

Maybe it's because he has a talent for this. Gan Ning's control over the water flow has surpassed Meng Kangbu's estimate. Gan Ning can master almost all the tactical skills that require water flow control, and even surpasses the blue. the point.

【Ahhhhhhhh, after another month of study, I will be able to learn all of these things. I feel like the more I learn, the easier it will be. I am indeed a genius. 】Gan Ning is still practicing closed-mouth meditation, but his heart is screaming unceasingly. He is deeply in admiration for his talent.

However, one month later, after Gan Ning learned all the skills related to water flow, Meng Kangbu began to teach other classifications. At this time, Gan Ning discovered that he only learned one category, and Guishuang actually divided a lot in naval warfare. kind.

"Well, this is the seventh-generation ship manufactured by our Lu family. Of course, this ship is a cut-down version. Many places were forced to make modifications because the conditions could not be met." Lu Jun said with a tangled face. His heart ached from the burning of money.

"Is this still a deleted version?" Cai Mao said in amazement.

"Well, this is indeed a deleted version, but don't underestimate it. Even if it is a deleted version, it is still the strongest battleship of the year. As long as the level is similar, it is definitely enough to fight ten against one." Lu Jun said proudly. , and then inform Cai Mao of all parameters.

"25 feet long, 3000 feet wide, three-and-a-half-story structure, six masts, nine sails, carrying [-] people, and a fully sealed waterproof structure, this is actually a cut-down version. There is no problem with the enemy ten." Cai Mao said in disbelief, as a general of the navy, he had never seen a stronger ship than this one.

"It's a pity that it's a new ship. Otherwise, it would have more advantages." Cai Mao was shocked at first, and then suppressed Lu Jun. To beat one or two.

"It has been almost two years since the ship was manufactured. Before the manufacture, all the materials have been intensively warmed. After the entire warship was completed a year ago, it has been uniformly warmed. The structure is warm and nourishing." Lu Jun said with a face full of pride, this is a painstaking effort, although his father took care of it because of burning money.

"Moreover, we have ordered a large number of well-warmed trees from Jizhou and Youzhou, and have made strategic reserves enough to manufacture a thousand warships. As long as necessary, we can call them at any time, so the problem of warming Don't worry." Lu Jun said proudly.

After all, the Lu family's shipyard is regarded as an official shipyard. Although it is managed by the Lu family, in fact, as early as when the Lu family went to Donglai to build the shipyard, Chen Xi's bank injected large-scale capital into it. At that time, the Lu family had just fled from Lujiang River. Road, there is not much money at all, the reason why the field can be built immediately is because of the official support behind it.

Of course, later on, the Lu family will sell their family property in Lujiang that should be sold, and other families in Jiangdong will take over the property that should be sold at a low price. Almost lost.

As for the so-called warm-up strategic reserve needed for a thousand warships, it was actually made by Chen Xi. After the Pingding of Jizhou, when Chen Xi was looking for jobs for the refugees in Jizhou, he went online with a slap in the face.

Anyway, after the reserves are made, they will be used sooner or later when they leave the Central Plains. Cutting down trees and leveling them can be regarded as a way to work hard, so that the refugees have work to do, and don’t cause social problems. Chen Xi is still very good at it .

It may take more than ten years for the Lu family to build a thousand warships, but if the technology is spread out, and each of the large and small shipyards in Jiangdong is given a piece of wood, these timbers are openly supplied, and Guishuang can make a lot of money. A thousand warships explode in half a year, and the Han Dynasty can do it too.

At that time, the sea of ​​warships will explode, throw Zhou Yu and Jiangdong's soldiers into it, practice and practice, and the Han Empire will be able to create a navy that looks as terrible as Guishuang. The Navy frightened, nonsense.

Before Guishuang's warship sea appeared, Chen Xi had already made strategic reserves. At most, he hadn't issued an official document to go online. The materials needed for a mere thousand warships were not a problem at all.

"A thousand ships?" Cai Mao's voice raised an octave, "Have your Lu family got so many? It's a huge problem to store so much wood and just maintain it."

"Don't worry, don't worry, these are not problems. We are professional shipbuilders." Lu Jun said with a little pride. Anyway, since he built the seventh-generation ship by himself, he stood next to this warship and said that he was a professional shipbuilder. have nothing to say.

Even his father, Lu Kang, was deeply dissatisfied with the fact that he spent most of the Lu family's property, but he was only dissatisfied with the face of this battleship, and did not upgrade to think that he was ruining the family. Instead, he thought that Lu Jun was very It may go down in history.

"Yes, you must have your own plans." Cai Mao thought for a while and said, "However, is your battleship really a cut version?"

"Indeed, we cut down a lot on the armor of this battleship, cut down a lot on the drive, and naturally reduced the size a lot. It was originally 36 feet, but it's a pity." Lu Jun said helplessly.

Of course, another problem here is that the technology is not up to the mark. Although it seems that the technology has been achieved now, but the money is not enough, Lu Jun is deeply dissatisfied. Of course, the old man of the Lu family has severely stopped Lu Jun's behavior of investing money without a bottom line.

If it weren't for the fact that there were only three or four cats left in the Lu family, and besides Lu Kang who was already too old, Lu Jun was already the only adult in the Lu family. Going to be beaten.

"The original plan was an all-steel structure. Of course, even the next generation may not be able to meet this condition, so steel cladding or adding steel is a relatively more reliable way." Lu Jun saw the other party's eyes, so he smiled and gave the two explained.

"I don't need to talk about the size, because it's in the sea, so it doesn't matter if the boat is bigger. As for the power, Chen Hou said that he solved it by himself, but now it is said that he screwed up." Lu Jun shrugged. shrugged and said.

"In short, that's all. The ship is handed over to you, and I've received the money. From now on, this will be your warship. I'll have someone put it on the name, and it will be called Xingba." Lu Jun finally explained. , and left.

Tai Shici looked at the huge three characters on the battleship, and couldn't help feeling sad, but then Tai Shici made up his mind that everything he lost at that time would one day be returned to Guishuang, as a sacrifice to Gan Ning's spirit in heaven.

"Go, get on the boat." Tai Shici turned to Cai Mao and said, "According to Lu Governor's request, we will go to the East together for training."

Not long after Tai Shici and Cai Mao boarded the ship, Xu Sheng and others led the remaining five sixth-generation ships and approached them. It was not that Chen Xi was unwilling to equip Tai Shici and the others with more warships, but that the current navy There are so few people left.

"Wen Xiang, let me introduce you. This is General Cai Degui. How is Danyang going?" Tai Shici and others asked after introducing Xu Sheng to the flagship.

Xu Sheng and Cai Mao saluted and introduced each other, and the other captains also bowed and saluted.

"About [-] people were conscripted, but it probably won't work in the future. Jiangdong is watching too closely. This is because Zhou Gongjin, Sun Bofu and others are not in Jiangdong. Otherwise, I'm afraid something will happen as soon as I enlist." Xu Sheng said with a sigh.

"Fortunately, if he wasn't here, I wouldn't dare to do this. At least the soldiers from Jiangnan won't get dizzy when they board the boat. After all, Danyang is rich in brave soldiers, and they can be used with a little practice. This will save us trouble. It's gone." Tai Shici also said helplessly.
