Daqin: Assist Zulong at the beginning and become a public enemy

Chapter 610 Calling for Power
Chapter 635 Calling for Power
"Your Highness said so, it seems that there is already a plan?" As a general, Han Xin's eyes lit up when he heard Ying Gang's plan.

Others don't know, but he knows that the entire ocean is an extremely large area, and islands of all sizes in the ocean are the objects they need to conquer.

Having an object to conquer means that endless exploits are waiting for them.

"I haven't figured out the plan yet, but one thing is certain, we must have an army that can adapt to ocean operations before that."

Although Xiao He and Zhang Liang are not serious strategists, they are not laymen when it comes to war. Now that they heard about a great plan, they immediately became interested.

"Isn't the Lingnan Navy not competent enough?"

Win just shook his head.

"The vastness and danger of the sea are far beyond your imagination. Because of this, we must be in awe of it. If we want to walk on the sea like walking on the ground, at least we need to build a warship of more than [-] meters. Now we It’s fine for a warship not far from the land, but if it’s too far from the shore, it’s dangerous.”

Several people nodded.

Others don't know, but they know that His Highness is a know-it-all.

He said that this is not possible, and that is basically not possible.

It was originally a request meeting, but because of the proposal of the South China Sea Plan, it has completely changed its appearance.

Ying just asked Li Mu to invite Gong Shuchou, Six Fingers Black Man and Zheng Guo all over.

As the best forging and smelting technology in the empire, they will definitely be able to quickly discuss the plan of the ocean conquest with Ying Gang.

The three of them were a little surprised to be called by Yinggang.

After all, they had just left Yinggang's place before, and Yinggang suddenly changed his mind in an instant, which made them a little unpredictable.

It wasn't until they arrived that they suddenly realized.

In the main hall, there was a world map hanging. Everyone sat on both sides, and Ying Gang stood in the middle, making suggestions for them.

"Everyone, I plan to divide the ocean plan into three steps."

As he said that, Ying Gang pointed to the surrounding areas of the South China Sea and said, "The first step is to use the South China Sea as a springboard to conquer the countries closest to our Great Qin."

"Your Highness, I think this method is feasible. According to His Royal Highness's drawings, there are still a large number of countries on the Indochina Peninsula and the Malay Archipelago. Moreover, these countries are close to the ocean. With this geographical advantage, we can completely advance by land and water. Use the army to cover Lingnan The army continued to go south, so Dink would have no trouble."

Ying just nodded and said: "This is a good way, but it needs to be well planned first. Among other things, the most troublesome thing about such a long-distance journey is the transportation of food, grass and luggage and the adaptation to the climate. The climate in the south But it is very different from ours, if we go, we must let the soldiers adapt to the climate here in advance."

Han Xin nodded, looked at the others and said, "Your Highness is right. This land in the south of the Five Ridges is extremely hot and humid, and it is also densely covered with poisonous insects. If the soldiers are not careful, they will be bitten and swell to death. When we first arrived, we also ate After suffering, fortunately, those doctors in the hospital found a solution for us in time, which reduced the loss of soldiers.”

Ying just nodded: "I have a way to deal with the humidity and heat in south of the Five Ridges. Then I will discuss it with those from the medical school and come up with a surefire solution. But the most important thing right now is shipbuilding."

After all, Ying Gang's eyes fell on Zheng Guo who was next to him.

As the head of the Ministry of Industry, Zheng Guo is absolutely clear about Qin's manufacturing capabilities.

Zheng Guo thought for a moment and replied: "It is not difficult to forge a warship of more than [-] meters with our current strength. You can reach Lingnan by going south along the coastline. I just don’t know how many warships His Highness plans to build at one time?”

"The first plan requires at least [-] warships over [-] meters in length, and at least [-] warships of other types."

Zheng Guo gasped when he heard this.

One hundred warships over [-] meters, this is no joke.

The cost of each ship is extremely expensive. Such a huge construction may be more expensive than the original expenditure when destroying the Six Kingdoms.

Although the current state of Qin has a great cause and is powerful, there are too many places to spend money.

The development of the Western Regions, the construction of Lingbei, and the construction of various parts of the Central Plains have made this huge country feel strenuous.

If the sea plan is started again now, will the national strength be able to bear it?
Even if the money is enough to spend, what about the person?Does Qin still have so many people building warships?

"Your Highness, does such a large-scale construction consume too much of the national strength of our Great Qin?" Xiao He has the most research on Qin's national strength and has the most right to speak among the people present.

"Did you guys forget something?"

Ying Gang looked at the three Han Chu heroes present with a smile on his face.

All eyes of several people fell on Ying Gang.

"How did the Qiang people be driven away by us step by step? Daqin really can't afford so much money, but the rich merchants and nobles in my Daqin can do it. As long as we release the news, as long as we are willing to donate a boat A [-]-meter-long warship, as long as the warship does not sink, one-third of the income on the ship will go to this donor. I believe many people will come to hear the news."

Han Xin Wenyan suddenly showed his signature smile.

Zhang Liang and Xiao He next to him also nodded in satisfaction.

Hu Hai, who was silent at the side, also interrupted and asked, "Brother's move is really killing two birds with one stone."

Ying just wanted to test Hu Hai, so he deliberately asked: "Why, what did you see?"

"On the one hand, it can mobilize the determination of these wealthy businessmen to work for Daqin, thereby reducing Daqin's investment in manpower and material resources. On the other hand, it can also prevent these wealthy businessmen from growing endlessly."

As soon as these words came out, the three people beside Han Xin and Xiao He were taken aback.

As the saying goes, see through but never tell through.

As soon as Ying Gang's plan was mentioned, they had already seen through everything, but they didn't want to break it directly.

After all, Yinggang has his own plans.

Although Hu Hai directly points out his political immaturity, it also shows that his ability is not so unbearable from another aspect.

At the very least, he is still a malleable talent.

"His Eighteenth Highness is indeed a great talent, I admire you."

Hu Hai was a little embarrassed when he heard what they said, he glanced at Yinggang and shrank to the side.

Ying Gang looked at him with a smile and said: "The Eighteenth Brother is too timid, this is not good, I need to practice more in the future, everyone, the Eighteenth Highness will be fully responsible for this matter in the next few days, you guys You must help him well."

Several people knew that this matter had reached the point where there was no possibility of any reversal and could only lead the matter.
