The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

"My lord, this Mo Dao is just an ordinary weapon produced by our arsenal. There are also sharper treasured knives and various top-level weapons. Of course, the share of ordinary weapons in our arsenal is not very large. We The most powerful weapons in the arsenal are in the east area, and you can take a look with your subordinates." The director of the arsenal took Liu Bei and others to visit the arsenal and introduced various weapons.

Especially the East District, which covers a very large area and is the most heavily guarded area. The treatment of workers here is much better than that of workers in other areas, but they are not as free as those in other areas, because the production of the East District is the most advanced. arms.

Not long guns, big knives, etc., but large-scale war weapons, ladders, catapults, bed crossbows, nest carts, wooden mantles, crash carts, Lin Chong, trench bridges, etc., all of which are very advanced siege weapons.

Now Liu Bei's army has begun to equip a large number of these weapons, and has also begun to cultivate professional and technical units for these weapons. That is to say, when Liu Bei's troops attack the city in the future, it will not be like the previous siege. A group of people carried ladders , braved the feathered arrows to slowly climb the city wall, which is equivalent to using human lives to fill it, which is a very backward way of attacking the city.

Now with these weapons, hundreds of catapults are placed outside the city, and the terrifying bed crossbow is pushed down the city, bombarding him for a few hours like a cannon, and then the ladder, the nest cart, the wooden mantle, the crash, the rush, Once on the trench bridge, it was easy and safe to send the siege soldiers and horses to the tower.

Who can stop such a terrifying siege, unless there are a large number of catapults and bed crossbows in the city, and the defenders are very elite, and there are enough troops, otherwise it is impossible to defend.

The more Liu Bei and the others watched, the more excited they were. They also led troops to conquer cities and territories all year round. Of course, they knew the value of weapons. With these weapons, even a city with strong defenses could be captured.

The defenders of the city will defend the city again. In the face of absolute strength, everything is empty talk.If Cao Cao had such a weapon, even if Zhang Liao would defend the city again, so what, he would definitely not be able to defend against Cao Cao's army attacking the city.

Good strategy and good tactics are indeed important elements to determine the victory of a great war, but if there is such a sharp weapon, the strategist can choose a lot more strategies, and the results obtained can be multiplied many times, and his own losses can be reduced to a minimum.

"My lord, military adviser, these siege weapons are all the most advanced, and the effect is very good. All of them have been summed up after countless actual combats. We have also cooperated with the military many times. The military sent people to conduct drills, and finally designed Completed, and after our improvement, these siege weapons are already very strong, and will not break or fall apart after a while. The most important thing is that all these sharp weapons can be disassembled for easy assembly. As long as the soldiers have passed our training, These weapons can be easily disassembled and assembled."

The director of the arsenal introduced these weapons endlessly. In addition to pleasing Liu Bei and Chen Ziming and wanting to get more funds, he also wanted to invest more funds in Liu Bei and Chen Ziming for them to research more weapons.

You must know that researching weapons is very expensive. Whether it is materials or labor costs, it is a terrible expense. More importantly, after the research of weapons, the military needs to send people to test them, and finally order these weapons. The driving force for continuous development.

The arsenal is a special unit that does not belong to the military or the government. They are independent from the two major systems and will not be interfered by the two major systems.

However, the funds needed by the arsenal and the outlet of the weapons are closely related to the two major systems. The development funds of the arsenal must be supported by finances, and the weapons produced must be recognized by the military. Otherwise, the army will never purchase these weapons. Nothing works.

Chen Ziming wants important units such as the arsenal to be independent, to have free development space, and not to be a victim of political struggles. Just like Chen Ziming made the army independent, the independence of the arsenal means that they have their own ideas and their own way. Don't look at the faces of those literati who play politics, and they don't need to participate in political struggles. They will concentrate on producing and continuously improving the weapons needed by the army to promote the development and growth of military strength.

"Big brother, second brother, this is the latest crossbow developed by the arsenal, but this crossbow is very special, please take a look." After Chen Ziming finished speaking, he took the crossbow and started shooting at a target not far away.

Seeing Chen Ziming pulling and releasing a pull ring, a sharp arrow flew out with a bang, and stabbed firmly on the opposite target.

"That's right." Liu Bei and Guan Yu saw that Chen Ziming was hit by an arrow, looked at each other, smiled and nodded in praise.

Everyone knew that Chen Ziming didn't like to practice martial arts, and he didn't pay any attention to those things about playing with knives and guns. It wasn't that Chen Ziming looked down on people who practiced martial arts. The reason why Chen Ziming didn't practice martial arts was because he thought it was too tiring.

Anyway, there are experts around to protect him at all times, no one can hurt him at all, why should he suffer to practice martial arts, and he is already in his 20s, if he starts to practice martial arts at this age, he will not be able to practice well.

Chen Ziming occasionally shoots arrows or something, but it's just for fun. Anyway, Liu Bei and Guan Yu have never seen Chen Ziming hit a target. Today, Chen Ziming hit the red heart with an arrow, which is considered a miracle.

However, from Liu Bei and Guan Yu's point of view, the reason why Chen Ziming was able to hit the target was luck and the crossbow in his hand.

As expected by Liu Bei and the others, Chen Ziming immediately shot the second arrow. Although it missed the red heart, it was considered as missing the mop, followed by the third arrow, and the fourth arrow.

"How about it, big brother, second brother, my archery skills are not bad." After Chen Ziming finished shooting, he turned his head to look at Liu Bei and Guan Yu, and saw that they were staring at Chen Ziming as if they had seen a ghost. They shouldn't be staring at the crossbow in Chen Ziming's hand. He didn't look at Chen Ziming, nor did he pay attention to what Chen Ziming said.

"Ziming, this is really a crossbow. Why can it shoot so continuously?" Liu Bei asked Chen Ziming excitedly. Liu Bei was born in the army, and he would not be able to see how powerful the crossbow in Chen Ziming's hand was.

"Brother, this is a serial crossbow. It was just developed by the arsenal. The technology is not perfect. Although it can shoot continuously, it is not powerful and the range is not far. It needs further improvement. It is only a semi-finished product." Chen Ziming successfully attracted Liu Bei and Guan Yu's attention was immediately introduced.

Chen Ziming handed over the basic idea to the researchers of the arsenal for this serial crossbow, and they slowly worked it out. It took nearly two years to have such a finished product.

Although it is indeed able to shoot continuously, the power is not satisfactory. If the enemy is wearing armor, then the effect of this chain crossbow is not very great. It can only be called a semi-finished product, and it cannot be equipped to fight in the army.

"Well, it is true. Although this crossbow is strange, its power is too weak. Brother, look at the arrows on the target. The arrows on the target are not inserted deep, and they are shot at such a short distance. This crossbow is useless." Guan Yu immediately discovered the weakness of the chain crossbow, and a slight disappointment appeared on his face.

"Zi Ming, can you increase the power of this crossbow?" Liu Bei hurriedly asked, if you can increase the power of this chain crossbow, then on the future battlefield, when the enemy rushes up, thousands of chain crossbows will be fired at once. , No matter how many enemy troops there are, they can only fall in pieces.

"Hehe, don't worry, big brother. The arsenal is already studying how to strengthen this crossbow. I think a breakthrough will be made soon. Once it reaches the military standard, it can be equipped in large quantities in the army, and the combat power of our army can be increased by several numbers." Times." Chen Ziming said confidently.

With today's production technology, if a qualified serial crossbow cannot be developed, then this so-called No. [-] arsenal in the world will disappoint Chen Ziming too much.

"Very good. This crossbow needs to be developed as soon as possible. If it is still powerful, I will immediately order the military to purchase it in large quantities." Guan Yu's eyes lit up, and he immediately assured Chen Ziming.

This military factory was almost established by Chen Ziming. Although Chen Ziming has no shares in it, anyone can tell that Chen Ziming is the boss behind this military factory. Without Chen Ziming's support, this military factory cannot be closed in such a short time. grown to such a size.

Moreover, Liu Bei and Guan Yu vaguely understood that many powerful weapons in the arsenal had Chen Ziming in them, and Chen Ziming's all-round talent was not just boasting.

Chen Ziming was very happy. Once the serial crossbow was successfully equipped in the army, it would not be far from Liu Bei's unification of the world. Cao Cao, Sun Ce and his ilk, what would they use to stop the elite army equipped with fangs.

"Report, lord, urgent report from Qingzhou!" After visiting the Liaodong arsenal, Liu Bei and others were going to continue northward for inspections in Jizhou and Heilongzhou, but at this moment, they urgently reported to the dark guard.

Liu Bei and the others were shocked, and immediately opened it to see that everyone's expressions changed drastically, especially Liu Bei's face was full of anxiety, while Chen Ziming was thinking about something, but he couldn't remember whether the Yellow River flooded during the Three Kingdoms period.

"Command the navy to prepare the battleship immediately. I want to return to Qingzhou immediately." Liu Beijun gave the order, and everyone hurriedly packed their bags, hurried to the harbor, and rushed back to Qingzhou by boat.

"Ziming, the Yellow River is full of floods and floods. There are many disaster-stricken places and the people are displaced. What should we do now?" After the warship sailed out, Liu Bei calmed down and invited Chen Ziming to discuss the flood.

The reason why Liu Bei returned to Qingzhou in a hurry was because of repeated torrential rains in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, which caused the water in the Yellow River to increase sharply, and many banks of the Yellow River burst, flooding thousands of miles.

"Brother, the Yellow River is flooding. This is a natural disaster. It should be dealt with carefully." Chen Ziming had already thought of a countermeasure, and after hearing Liu Bei's inquiry, he immediately put forward what he thought of.

"The people under the elder brother's rule are more educated, knowing that this is a natural phenomenon and has nothing to do with heaven, but there are many ignorant people, and Cao Cao and others will definitely take this opportunity to spread rumors and seriously hurt the elder brother. This must be prevented. When Order the local governments to closely monitor, and if they discover rumors, they must not be tolerated."

282章全民抗灾

Throughout the dynasties, all natural disasters will be considered by the people to be punishments or warnings specially sent down by the heavens to dissatisfy the rulers.

Now that natural disasters have occurred under Liu Bei's rule, especially when Liu Bei just took Jizhou into his hands, such catastrophes occurred in Jizhou and other places, which will inevitably make people think wildly, and Cao Cao and others will not let go of such an excellent opportunity.

"Secondly, although Cao Cao's soldiers and horses will not attack the elder brother, he will definitely send troops to Sili Prefecture when the elder brother has no time to take care of it, and even coerce the emperor to make him disobedient. If he captures Sili Prefecture, his strength will increase greatly." Chen Ziming Speaking of this, stop and wait for Liu Bei to digest.

Cao Cao has always wanted to capture Jingzhou and Silizhou. If he took the two states, he would not be afraid of Liu Bei at all, but he never had a chance. At least the 50 Liu Bei soldiers around him would not give him such a chance, but now It's different, the Yellow River broke its embankment, the floods flooded, and the affected areas were all under Liu Bei's rule. Liu Bei couldn't spare time to manage Cao Cao. Even if Liu Bei had millions of troops, he could only watch Cao Cao do whatever he wanted, unless Liu Bei didn't Dealing with the disaster of the Yellow River, watching Cao Cao wholeheartedly.

However, Liu Bei established his life with benevolence, and Cao Cao was prepared for Liu Bei's character, so he would definitely lead his army to capture Silizhou and other places with confidence and boldness.

"Ziming, I'm not afraid of Cao Cao's entry into Sili Prefecture, and I'm not afraid of his rumors seriously hurting me. What I want to know now is how to solve the flooding of the Yellow River and how to rescue the people affected by the disaster." Liu Bei did not listen to Cao Cao's will become stronger Instead of frowning, he directly asked about the relief of the disaster-stricken people, which made Chen Ziming feel relieved. At least now Liu Bei has not ignored the life and death of the people in the world because of his strength, but put the people in the world first. Don't come to hinder him from helping the people, Liu Bei doesn't care what he wants to do.

"Brother, for the Yellow River disaster, we must continue to do four things well. First, we need to mobilize a large number of people to rescue the trapped people; second, we need to set up a large number of shelters to accommodate the fleeing people, so that they can eat and wear warm; third, Repair the gap in the Yellow River, control the flood, and don't let it continue to flood; fourth, after the flood, diseases will inevitably spread, and we should be prepared for disease outbreaks." Chen Ziming mentioned the problems that need to be solved urgently, and then thought of solutions.

"Well, Ziming, there are many disaster-stricken places. Where can we mobilize so many people, and the gap in the Yellow River is not suitable for repairing. Now it is difficult to recruit migrant workers. What should we do?" Liu Bei has no experience in dealing with such a huge disaster. , what he can think of, that is, those practices recorded in history, simply cannot keep up with the times.

Chen Ziming saw that Liu Bei had nothing to do, so he immediately solved it for Liu Bei one by one.

"The Yellow River broke its embankment. Although there are many disaster-stricken places, there are more harmless places. The elder brother can call on the people of the eight states. If one side is in trouble, the eight sides will support it. Let the people all over the world contribute to the disaster-stricken places. If you have money, you can contribute your strength. .

Second, the local governments can immediately dispatch a large number of officials to the disaster-stricken areas to collect refugees, set up tents, and distribute food and clothing so that the displaced people can have enough food and clothing to stabilize the hearts of the people.

Third, we can mobilize troops from all walks of life to go to the place where the Yellow River bursts. With our army's hundreds of thousands of elite divisions, we can quickly repair and block the Yellow River breach.

Fourth, let soldiers and horses enter the disaster-stricken area to rescue the trapped people, and if there are troublemakers, kill them to ensure the stability of one side.
