Yinhou of the Three Kingdoms

"Could it be that Xingba wants to persuade me to retreat?" Cao Cao asked.

"No!"

Gan Ning shook his head resolutely, and continued without waiting for Cao Cao to show a gratified smile.

"Your Majesty has been in the army for more than [-] years. Even when he fought Dong Zhuo, he fought the enemy bravely. He dared to be the first among the eighteen princes. How can he care about mere Sun Quan at this moment!"

"Ha ha……"

Hearing Gan Ning's words, Cao Cao showed a smug smile on his face.

That's right!

At that time, the princes of the Eighteenth Route were afraid of Dong Zhuo and did not dare to advance and pursue him.

But he was not afraid, and only led 5000 troops to hunt down Dong Zhuo and the city of Luoyang.

Although he was defeated in the end, even that courage is the crown of princes.

Thinking of the past, Cao Cao looked at Cao Hong gratefully.

In this campaign in Jingzhou, although Cao Hong missed and was captured, he did not defect to the enemy, but endured the humiliation.

I have criticized him too much, after all, he is a loyal general to himself, and a brother who is willing to sacrifice his life to protect himself.

"Your Majesty, the last general dares to ask His Majesty to give the navy a number!"

Gan Ning suddenly fell to his knees, clasped his fists and begged.

"Ok?"

Cao Cao didn't understand what he meant, and looked at the other party with some doubts.

"Your Majesty doesn't know. In recent years, the warships of the navy have changed with each passing day. Let's say that the five-tooth warship under our feet was able to dominate the Yangtze River and Huanggai, but now its dominance is in jeopardy!"

"The last general heard that Sun Quan built a five-story ship, but it is not inferior to this five-toothed ship. Therefore, the power of water warfare is not only in the army, but also in whether the ship is strong and powerful!"

"Is there such a thing?"

Cao Cao's face was a little dignified when he heard the words. If the Jiangdong navy was like this, wouldn't his chances of winning be reduced again?

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, our army now has a new type of warship. It is as tall as a city and cannot be driven by manpower. It depends entirely on the wind. If this ship is pressed down by the wind, it will be like a car crushing a mantis. The five-tooth giant ship is not an opponent. !"

"Oh? There are still such warships, where are they now?"

Cao Cao was shocked when he heard the words, which was really an unexpected joy.

"Your Majesty, please wait a moment!"

Gan Ning stood up suddenly and waved to the lieutenant not far away.

Then there was a strange whining sound, and everyone jumped back in a hurry, only to see a giant beast that swallowed the sky slowly tearing open the water of the Yangtze River.

Huge waves beat against the hull, but the boat remained motionless, as if in his eyes, the turbulent waves on the river were not worth mentioning at all.

"This... does this ship have a name?"

Cao Cao looked up at the battleship in front of him dumbfounded. The huge shadow of the ship shrouded the five-toothed giant ship, as if the other party could crush him under the water just by turning around.

"There is such a giant warship in the world?"

Those famous generals who galloped the world on land were also full of horror at this moment.

"Hehe~"

Gan Ning was overjoyed, but his face was as calm as before.

I haven't made any military exploits in the past ten years, and now I am about to become a marquis and worship general. If I don't show some real skills, I can be on an equal footing with all the generals.I also want to let these giants know that Gan is not inferior to anyone on land, but he is even more powerful in the water.

The first thousand and 250 nine chapters of the East Sea Division

"Report to Your Majesty, this ship was built to dominate the sea, and at the same time as it was launched, there are two warships that have not yet been named. Please give them a name!"

Gan Ning bowed forward, his face full of solemnity, but his heart was full of pride, his vision was already the sea of ​​stars, and these people were still staring at the little Yangtze River.

"There are two more ships? If we build a naval army composed entirely of such giant ships, wouldn't it be the best in the ocean!"

Cao Cao's breathing became a little short. If there was such a fleet, there would be nowhere in the world to go.

The Yuanyang that Ning Rong told her back then will no longer be a dream!

"Uh……"

Gan Ning was a little embarrassed when he heard Cao Cao's words. He deserved to be his own emperor, and his heart was not comparable to his own.

"General Gan, I'm afraid the cost of such a huge ship will not be low?"

It was Xi Zhi who saw the trick, and stepped forward to make a rescue.

"Military advisor, Your Majesty, this gigantic ship is made of more than 20 pieces of century-old wood, and the iron sheath weighs several thousand catties. There are countless other nails, hooks, buckles, mast sails, etc. The total cost is about the same as that of silver. [-] taels!"

"hiss……"

Gan Ning's words made everyone gasp, this thing is really a waste of money!

Over the years, the imperial court encouraged farming and supported commerce, but the annual tax was only more than 300 taels of silver, and these three giant ships used up one-fifth of it.

No wonder, in a rich place like Huainan, the taxation has not improved in the past ten years, and this guy has eaten it up.

"Um……"

Cao Cao suddenly remembered that Ning Rong had indeed told him that he needed to take the tax from Huainan to build a navy, but he didn't take it too seriously.

At that time, he just thought that Huainan was bordered by Jiangdong, and it was considered a war prevention area, and the tax would naturally not be too high, but he didn't expect to create such three giant ships.

"General Gan's warship is enough to gallop the sea, but as Ju Gu knows, the bigger the warship, the better, right?"

Cao Ang raised his doubts. When he was taught by his master, he knew that there was a more powerful ship. Although it was small, its speed was faster than that of Pegasus.

"What Your Highness said is true, the battleship of the navy is naturally the most powerful ship because it is huge and strong, but if the whole battleship is like this, it will give the enemy a chance to take advantage of it!

Therefore, the formation of a fleet requires not only capital ships, but also auxiliary ships, cruise ships, and fast ships!

Since the last general was ordered by His Majesty to build warships at sea, he has decided to focus on these three warships, supplemented by the Fire Dragon Ship, Chilong Ship, Haicang Ship, and Qingke Ship!

The Fire Dragon Ship and the Red Dragon Ship are equipped with firearms such as kerosene, while the Haicang Ship is equipped with light crossbows and other items, and the Light Ke Ship is mainly based on speed, interspersed between the entire fleet..."

Speaking of the fleet he built with his own hands, Gan Ning talked eloquently, after all, no one is more familiar with it than him.
