The Three Kingdoms

Shang Sheng nodded, but after pondering for a moment, he was a little hard to say, and said: "Master Hou, this workshop used to be quite large, but these years, no one manages it, the finances are not supported, and many years have been wasted. The shipbuilding workshop in San’in, where all the shipbuilders go, usually repairs fishing boats, and has not built warships for some years.”

In Dongzhi, under normal circumstances, people basically make a living by rice and fishing. Although there are many fishing boats, although they don't really go to sea, they will circle around the seaside.

"Is there a master shipbuilder here in Dongzhi?" Sun Quan asked with narrowed eyes.

In the future, together with Yizhou, Dongzhi will be the most important place, so a shipbuilding workshop must be established here to replenish and repair warships.

"That's true. In Dongzhi, many people passed down their shipbuilding skills." Shang Sheng thought for a while before saying.

"Very good, County Magistrate Shang, I'll give you three days to recruit a group of shipbuilding craftsmen for me immediately!" Sun Quan said.

"promise!"

Shang Sheng nodded.

This matter was nothing more than a trivial matter to him, a majestic county magistrate of Dongzhi, and since Sun Quan was here, his county government relied on Sun Quan's prestige, and the big households in the city dared not cooperate.

"There is one more important thing that needs to be done by the magistrate of Shang County. Is there any food in the city? The fleet must be replenished with enough food." Sun Quan asked loudly with clear eyes.

When going to sea, you must make the greatest preparations, one of which is food and fresh water. After all, even if you have a compass, you may not know where you are going in the face of wind and waves in the vast sea.

With Jiangdong's current warship technology, there is nothing wrong with going out and about in sea areas, and preparing more food.

"Master Hou, this... I am a little sorry for the lower officials. The past few years have not been considered peaceful. Jiangdong was still occupied by Wuhou, and the Shanyue people are considered safe. Although Dongzhi is considered a large city, there are nearly 2 people. The population of households, but there are hidden dangers in the mountains all the year round, and unlike the official roads in Sanyin, there have always been few resources, so the food in the city is actually barely enough for our own use at most, and we can’t move much.”

Shang Sheng lowered his head and said in a low voice.

At this time, with the assistance of soldiers from Dongzhi County, warships on the coast began to find a place to berth. They all went ashore. This group of craftsmen were all prepared by Sun Quan for Yizhou, so naturally they would not stay in Zhoushan.

The army began to camp on the spot, and the whole port was in full swing.

"Is the mountain violin here serious?" Sun Quan beckoned and asked Zhou Yu to entertain those squires in Dongzhi. After all, Dongzhi will be an important city in the future, and the navy must establish a good relationship with these squires.He found a big rock, sat up cross-legged, squinted at Shang Sheng, the county magistrate, and asked.

If the mountains are too serious, then the Dongzhi area cannot be peaceful.Dongzhi is not peaceful, and he wants to build a port here, which is not safe enough.

"Master Hou, our Dongzhi is too remote. In the past ten years, the imperial court has basically ignored it, not to mention sending troops. Shanyue's army is stronger than our Dongzhi. In Dongzhi's generation, it has reached the point of occupying the city."

Shang Sheng was originally from Dongzhi, and he had established himself in Dongzhi for decades. He was more familiar with the Dongzhi generation than anyone else, and he didn't hide it. Now that Sun Jian ruled the six counties in Jiangdong, he had fine soldiers and food, and his prestige spread throughout Jiangdong, so he dared not have any dissent.

He sighed, and reported truthfully, saying: "From Dongzhi to Taimo, with Wuyi Mountain as their camp, the Shanyue people have built many cities. They extinguished their flames fiercely, and they were defeated, so they naturally shrank back to Wuyi Mountain for a generation, but after the troops in Kuaiji were withdrawn recently, they reappeared!"

"Not far from Dongzhi, there is a new city called Jian'an, which was built by Shanyue people. These Shanyue people grew up in the mountains. Basically, all the people are soldiers. Our Dongzhi county soldiers are no match at all." Shang Sheng said with a wry smile.

There is not much difference between the Shanyue people and them, especially the Dongzhi people. They are the same kind of people. They are basically the Minyue people who fled to this generation after the Yue country was killed by the Chu country.

However, the reason why Shanyue is Shanyue is that they escaped into the mountains for hundreds of years and survived in the harsh environment. , The unrestrained character will cause Shanyue's continuous rebellion.

"Jian'an City? How many people and troops do they have?" Sun Quan's sudden interest, these Shanyue people dared to go down the mountain may not be a bad thing.

It was difficult to deal with in the mountains, but out of the mountains, they were a little overwhelmed if they wanted to deal with the Jiangdong Army.

"Master Hou, in Jian'an City, there are more than 3 of them including the old and the weak, women and children. As for the strength of the troops, it's hard to say. Once they move, they can all go to battle." Shang Sheng said.

"Will they attack Dongzhi?" Sun Quan continued to ask.

"Yes, when there is no food, they will attack and rob us of food. A few years ago, the people in Jian'an united with [-] to [-] Shanyue to break through Dongzhi once, but after the Jiangdong Army entered Kuaiji, they settled down There are too many, I dare not attack the city justifiably."

"That is to say, they are still safe under Jiangdong's awe."

Sun Quan thought for a while, looked puzzled for a while, and then said: "Since they can still live in peace, I want them to jump around a few times, and we will go back and deal with them after we have completely captured Yizhou."

Now he has more than 3000 Jiangdong Army, plus Dongzhi's troops, to deal with these Shanyue, if he fights fiercely, he can take down the new city of Jian'an, but he doesn't want to waste his troops now here.

After all, there are still a lot of Shanyue people in Wuyi Mountain who won Jian'an, and it is useless to treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

"Magistrate of Shang County, first you prepare some grain for me from Dongzhi County. I want as much as I want. Don't worry, it won't affect Dao Dongzhi. Then someone from the General's Mansion will transfer a batch of grain from Wu County. Make up for Dongzhi's granary." Sun Quan had already asked Sun Jian to send grain to Zhoushan and Dongzhi.

These two are important ports, and sufficient food must be maintained so that the fleet can be replenished immediately.

"promise!"

Since Sun Quan said so, Shang Sheng had nothing to say, so he could only go down to prepare food and use the emergency food reserves.

If it was someone else, he could still object, but Sun Quan is nominally the Marquis of Dongzhi, and Dongzhi is Sun Quan's private property. He has to give whatever he wants, and Sun Quan also said that he will pay it back.

……

With the support of Dongzhi County and the construction of tens of thousands of civilians, this large port is under construction under the planning of Sun Quan.

After the fleet was replenished with food, Sun Quan, Sun Ce, and Zhou Yu gathered together to discuss matters concerning Yizhou.

"If we start from Dongzhi, Yizhou is in the east or southeast of us. As long as the direction is well grasped, it should not be wrong. I think the distance, if it goes well, can be done in ten days!"

In the temporary military camp next to the port, in the camp of the Chinese army, Sun Quan pointed to a rough map of the sea area that he had drawn by himself, and said.

"Zhongmou, are you sure about this position? If not, we may not know how long we will be lost at sea." Zhou Yu's handsome face, with a cautious look, said: "Going to sea is not an ordinary thing. At most, it is just slipping around the seaside, but there have already been many storms and waves, and four warships have been destroyed, so we still have to be careful in everything."

"The location shouldn't be wrong, but I'm afraid that there will be strong winds and waves at sea. It would be great if we could have a humanoid observatory." Sun Quan sighed. People can see the upcoming weather through some phenomena with naked eyes.

Most of these people are the gods of this era, but it is a pity that Sun Quan couldn't find him in a hurry, otherwise he would definitely be taken out to sea and used as a humanoid observatory.

"Zhongmou, or, we want to send someone to explore the way first?" Sun Ce narrowed his eyes and said.

"Brother, what do you mean, we use the lives of our soldiers to explore a channel? It's too wicked!"

Sun Quan's voice was a little cold. Although he had changed a lot in this era, he still couldn't have the sense of superiority over others, and it was hard to ignore the sacrifice of human life.

His thinking has always stayed in modern times, and everyone is equal.

Although this kind of thinking is incomprehensible in this era, for Sun Quan, who is in his twenties, his thinking has already been finalized, and it will not be fundamentally changed for at least ten years.

He shouldn't be able to change the world, but it will take some time for the world to change him.

"this?"

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were taken aback for a moment, a little surprised at Sun Quan's reaction, it was too intense!

They were all born in powerful or aristocratic families, so they naturally had some uncommon demeanor. Although they didn't show it, they still had a noble heart towards the soldiers below, and it was naturally difficult to understand Sun Quan's excitement in their hearts.

After all, for them, it is a well-understood thing to use the soldiers below to explore, and it is even an honor for the soldiers under their command.

Naturally, the two of them would not understand Sun Quan's thoughts from modern people.

"We have already prepared what should be prepared, and we have already understood what should be understood. At sea, sometimes it depends on luck. Whether it is the first time to go to sea or have many experiences at sea, if you are unlucky, There is still the possibility of destruction in the wind and waves encountered!"

Sun Quan's complexion hardened, his amber eyes were sharp, and he said decisively: "I believe that my Sun Quan's luck must be the best! So, no matter whether you go or not, after three days, a certain person will personally set sail continent."

"Zhong Mou, since you dare to fight, and you have nothing to say as a brother, I will naturally accompany you on the last trip." Sun Ce sighed, what he couldn't bear the most was not being able to compare with Sun Quan.When Sun Quan was agitated, he naturally couldn't sit still.
