Chapter 105 Goguryeo?
Transportation capacity has always been a big problem. For example, Liu Yan wanted to go to Goguryeo, and then various families purchased supplies from the Han Dynasty. In fact, there are restrictions on transportation capacity.

Hanbu can agree to huge orders, because the bigger the order, the more impossible it is to complete the transaction in a short period of time, and it needs to be done in batches.

In batches?Liu Yan should consider finding a place as a stronghold on the Liaodong Peninsula and send his men up in batches.

Before Hou Zhao fell into civil strife, Yao Gezhong, the leader of the Qiang tribe, and Fu Hong, the leader of the Di tribe, did not dare to act rashly, let alone Liu Yan who lived in Changguang County, Qingzhou?
Liu Yan probably remembered that Hou Zhao would collapse on his own in a few years, but he really didn't know exactly how many years.After all, he has no way to access the Internet now, so how can he still search Baidu all the time?
It is impossible to seize a state on Houzhao's territory, at least when Houzhao did not fall into civil strife. It is probably the limit to occupy a county?
Shen Zhong, who had already embarked on his return journey, dialed Liu Yan secretly. The imperial court allowed the tribes below to fight each other in order to ensure the leading position of the Jie tribe, and allowed expansion and possession restrictions. Once the imperial court's bottom line was broken, it would be a large army situation.

If it comes to the "Castle Age", the population limit is [-] instead of [-]. Liu Yan naturally doesn't need to worry about so many cavalry. Not necessarily.

The problem is that Liu Yan's current system is not the "Castle Era", and only one thousand can be consumed... Oh, no, farmers plus fishing boats have left fifty more places, and only six hundred can be consumed. system soldiers.

In a battle with a scale of several thousand, six hundred soldiers are definitely useful, especially when it takes up to three hours to replenish one more. Liu Yan never feels that he will lose after repeated efforts to consume.But, will Hou Zhao dispatch thousands each time?As long as there is a regular army of [-], Liu Yan will not even think about fighting, so he should directly take people on board and go to sea.Not to mention, Hou Zhao itself has two absolutely elite teams, and can summon hundreds of thousands of subordinate armed forces at any time.

Speaking of armed forces that can be summoned at any time, Liu Yan has a personal experience of this. He became a sheriff and issued a "eating order" with the authority of the later Zhao court. As time went by, those who responded to the call The more people there are.The day before yesterday, he asked about the quantity, and it was close to [-]!
Twenty thousand!That is Changguang County, how many counties does Hou Zhao have?It is absolutely easy for Shi Hu to summon a million mobs with one order, but there is not enough food to feed them.

"Building a big ship?" Tian Shuo looked at Liu Yan cautiously, and said, "Your Majesty, this...it is naturally possible to build a small boat. However, a big ship...not only does not have the relevant wood, but the craftsman..."

By the way, even if there are relevant talents who can build ships, basically most of them build inland ships, and there are basically no people who can build sea ships, at least in the Central Plains!

To tell the truth, I’m not joking. There are two large water systems in China, one is the Yellow River and the other is the Yangtze River. Even if there is a water war, it has basically revolved around the Yellow River or the Yangtze River.Because there is no threat from overseas at all, who would study sea-going ships in the pre-Qin, Han, and present days?
Liu Yan knows a little about the structure of sea-going ships, that is, inland river ships are basically flat-bottomed, while sea-going ships need round bilges.He has a group of craftsmen under him, but the number is very small. Led by a few craftsmen who can build river boats, they have been trying to build sea boats for nearly a year.

A trial version has been produced, with a hull length of 30 meters, a width of eight meters, a draft of three meters, and a load capacity of 280 tons.Well, it was actually a Kirk, the most active ship of the fourteenth century.Just don't ask Liu Yan why he knows how to draw blueprints. Everyone will have some other interests.However, he only knows the blueprint of this kind of ship.

By the way, when it comes to creation, Liu Yan also has a big killer, and that is gunpowder.In fact, as long as modern people are interested, they can find out what the gunpowder formula is after a little research, but Liu Yan will not make it available at all now, just like knowing the importance of stirrups and horseshoes, but he would rather not be able to form cavalry under his hands. Also reluctant to have stirrups and horseshoes ahead of time!

Know what happens now with stirrups and horseshoes?Although Liu Yan can quickly train a group of fast cavalry, but the number will not exceed [-].How many Hu people are there in the Central Plains?How many Hu people are there in Saibei?How many Hu people are there in Liaodong and the north?Liu Yan made stirrups and horseshoes. Believe it or not, even with the golden finger of the system, he would be crushed into scum by the endless cavalry of the barbarians?

Many technological creations definitely cannot be created at any time, or they will have an advantage at the moment they are created, but it always depends on the comparison of one's own strength with others, right?

"Try your best to search!" Liu Yan said with determination on his face: "Not only search by yourself, but also activate it to see if you can find the source of the goods."

Tian Shuo was naturally obedient. He understood the importance of ships very well. With enough ships, or bigger and better ships, the Han tribe would become stronger.

Shipbuilding needs wood, a lot of wood, and not all wood is suitable for shipbuilding, it needs to be of the right type, and more importantly, it needs to be thick enough!Especially for the keel!The bigger the ship, the bigger the whole piece of wood needed for the keel!Stitching?Liu Yan said no, and he didn't want to have an accident where the keel of the ship broke in the sea one day, and sank to the bottom of the sea to see if there was a dragon palace.

There are no giant trees in Qingzhou. It can even be said that the Central Plains has been developed for too long and thoroughly, and there are really not many towering giant trees.If you want a giant tree in the real sense, one is to go to the Qinling Mountains, the other is to go to the middle of Shu, and the third is to go to Liaodong. Anyway, there is absolutely no such thing in Qingzhou.

At present, it is extremely difficult to build a Kirk sailboat, mainly due to the limitation of materials, not only a suitable keel, but also a sail.

Of course, Liu Yan was extremely determined to develop sea-going ships. After some detailed thinking, he concluded that since war could not be carried out in Hou Zhao, could he try other places?

Jin country?Liu Yan couldn't challenge Hou Zhao. If he landed on the Jin country from the coast and conquered a state on the Jin side, he might...be overwhelmed by the crowd.

Liaodong?Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated, but compared to conquering Qingzhou, conquering Youzhou is more difficult. What we need to face is the rising Murong Xianbei!

"Huh? Goguryeo?" When Tuobaxiu was called by Liu Yan, he was stunned for a while when Liu Yan finished speaking: "I know, now it's Gao Siyou, also called Gao Liu or Gao Zhao, who is Goguryeo's No. .16 generation king. But... other knowledge is limited."

Liu Yan was a little regretful. He thought that Xianbei of all ethnic groups had been active in the Liaodong area, so he should know about his old neighbor, but Tuobaxiu didn't know.

"If your husband wants to know about Goguryeo, you can ask Nunu's elder brother for an important person." Tuobaxiu blinked, looking wholeheartedly for the interests of the Han: "You can even transfer Nunu's elder brother to Yan Guo. Buy prisoners of war from Goguryeo."

It's a way of thinking. Qian Yan and Hou Zhao fought for a while. Although Qian Yan won Hou Zhao, the Murong family obviously found it very disadvantageous to fight a war of attrition with Hou Zhao.Qianyan, who retreated their troops and battle lines, planned to sort out Liaodong, and even launched another big campaign against Yuwen Xianbei. A series of things were being planned.

Well, Liu Yan originally thought that Yuwen Xianbei should be wiped out, but what he didn't expect was that Yuwen Xianbei was still alive, but the last time he was tricked by Murong Xianbei and Tuoba Xianbei together, it is true that Yuwen Xianbei has fallen into an extremely weak state of.

"You can buy war slaves from Yuwen Xianbei." Tuobaxiu kept emphasizing one point: "We need cavalry, a lot of cavalry!"

Tuoba Xiu thought it was ridiculous for a tribe to have no cavalry. A tribe like the Han tribe with a population of 6 to [-] actually wanted cavalry and needed to recruit miscellaneous men?Is there such a tribe?
Liu Yan is nodding his head, but his thoughts are very wandering... very wandering... He must understand Goguryeo.

We won't be able to get many sea ships this year or next, but after three years of accumulation, we can go to Goguryeo and have fun, right?

"I heard that since the Han Dynasty, quite a few people from the Central Plains or along the coast went to Goguryeo to escape the war?" Liu Yan wasn't asking Tuobaxiu. Many cultural relics and bamboo slips from the Shang, Zhou and Han Dynasties were snatched back from Goguryeo, and some lost skills were even regained?"
