The Three Kingdoms

He wants to be the first person to rule the world. In his hope, the warships of the Wu Kingdom should be able to hit the current Roman Empire in one go.

According to his memory, in this era, the entire earth should have four ancient kingdoms of good size, the Han Dynasty, the Roman Empire, the Guishuang Empire, and the Anxi Empire.

The Parthian Empire was located in later Iran.

The Guishuang Empire was in India, and its predecessor was the Da Yuezhi who had a certain connection with the Han Dynasty.

The Han Dynasty and Rome were the overlords of Eurasia. The size of the Roman Empire was definitely not inferior to the Han Dynasty. According to statistics, the population of Rome exceeded 5000 million, almost the same as that of the Han Dynasty.

Now that the Han Dynasty has collapsed and there is a civil war in the Central Plains, it may not be as good as the current Roman Empire in terms of population.To be continued...

[Text 6, Chapter [-], Bloody Battle in Northern Xinjiang [-]]

Sun Quan never told anyone about his ambition.

But after he ascended to the throne of the Wu Kingdom, this ambition became more and more vigorous and hot. As a king, I can stay on one side, but as an emperor, I must unify the world.

If you hit Rome, you must hit Rome.

The decision he made in his heart made him pay more and more attention to the navy, but it is not that simple to cross the Pacific Ocean or the Indian Ocean.

The long-distance sailing capabilities of Wu's current warships are far from enough.

So shipbuilding has become the most urgent thing for Sun Quan now. He has already started to develop a shipbuilding workshop. Steamships take time. He is not doing research. Even if he vigorously develops in this area, it will take at least decades of research.

But ironclad ships can be considered.

"Gongmiao, since Jingzhou was brought down, many people in the army believed that the Wu State no longer needs so many naval officers and soldiers, so many of them proposed to reduce the navy and increase the budget for infantry and cavalry. You have Any comments?"

After a while, Sun Quan withdrew his thoughts, narrowed his eyes slightly, and stared at He Qi.

The navy is the most powerful military force of the Wu State, but when Jingzhou is defeated, all the waterways in the south will be opened up. In the eyes of many Wu State generals, Wu State's future opponents will be the princes of the North.

There is no navy in the North, so naturally Wu does not need to support such a useless navy.

The generals of infantry and cavalry in the army are naturally thoughtful, thinking that the navy really doesn't need so many troops today, and want to poach people from the navy.

Even Pan Feng, Zhao Yun, and others were moved, and they played repeatedly, demanding that the naval personnel be cut off, and that the naval officers and soldiers should get off the warship and enter the infantry and cavalry system.

Lu Bu was even more straightforward. He trained the surrendered navy of Chu as ordinary infantry.

However, Sun Quan's attitude towards this matter was always vague, without a clear answer, so the generals in the army did not dare to move, and kept pressing this matter.

But in the current situation, many people think that cutting the navy is inevitable, so Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Xue Zhou and the others are a little panicked.

In fact, Sun Quan had already made a decision on this matter.

He asked He Qi now, but he wanted to see He Qi's eyes.

He Qi, He Gongmiao, natives of Kuaiji, were born in Jinyiwei, and later joined the army. They became famous for pacifying Shanyue World War I, and now they are former generals of the state of Wu.

In the navy, he was listed as the Big Four along with Zhou Tai, Gan Ning, and Xue Zhou, but apart from Gan Ning, Sun Quan was most optimistic about him.

He Qi's martial arts has improved a little over the years, but at most it is similar to Xue Zhou's. Compared with Tiger General Zhou Tai Gan Ning, he is far behind.

But when it comes to arranging troops and planning the layout, He Qi is much better than all of them.

Gan Ning's strength lies in his ability to command on the spot. In water battles, his commanding ability and charging ability are unmatched.But when it comes to preparations before the battle and the formation of troops, he is somewhat inferior to He Qi.

In Sun Quan's mind, the combination of Gan Ning and He Qi is the most perfect. As long as they cooperate sincerely, they can support the future of a navy of hundreds of thousands.

"Reducing the navy?" He Qi frowned when he heard the words, shook his head quickly, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the general disagrees. The future of the navy is no longer the Yangtze River. Back then, the core of our navy's development was not the inland, but the sea. Although the number of the navy accounts for half of Wu's soldiers, it is necessary, and the vastness of the sea will bring unlimited future to Wu!"

Those who have not really sailed can never appreciate the vastness of the sea.

There are many islands discovered in the South China Sea today, but they haven't been developed yet. Once developed, according to He Qi's prediction, these places will be enough to support ten Wu countries.

Moreover, no one knows how big the sea is. As long as the navy's warships go further, he will be able to continue sailing. He is full of confidence in the future of the sea area.

"You can think so, Gu is very pleased, Gu did not misunderstand you, don't worry, the navy will never cut it!"

Hearing this, Sun Quan smiled brightly, patted him on the shoulder vigorously, and said, "This time, Gu sent you back to the East China Sea, do you know why?"

"Because of Northern Xinjiang!" He Qi narrowed his eyes slightly. He learned a thing or two about the battle in Northern Xinjiang through newspapers when he was in the South China Sea. The Taiwei Mansion knew everything, so it was not surprising.

"clever!"

Sun Quan pointed out: "Currently our main development has always been inland. Northern Xinjiang now needs the assistance of the navy. Gan Ning's fleet fought in Chibi, causing too many casualties. Xuezhou and Zhou Tai are still licking their wounds in Chibi and Chaisang, alone. Only your South Sea Fleet can use the navy!"

Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, and Xue Zhou all took part in the Chibi War, they were the main force, so it wouldn't take a year or so for them to recover their original fighting strength.

"Don't worry, Da Wu, the last general will try his best to assist them, and pacify the northern border at all costs!"

He Qi leaned down directly, with cold eyes, and said murderously: "Those who offend our Great Wu, even if all the sons of our navy give up their familiar warships and land in the North, we will definitely spare no effort to kill them. Kill it all!"

Sun Quan was very satisfied with He Qi's attitude, but he shook his head and instructed: "Gong Miao, the training of the navy is not easy, and I don't want to see your South China Sea Fleet give up your best warships and go ashore to fight. This will definitely cause a lot of casualties. Shao, what Gu means is that dropping you into the East China Sea is just to be prepared, and your main focus is to assist, unless General Pan and Huang Zhong have a strong request, otherwise your navy will try not to land."

The battle formation of the navy is mainly surrounded by warships. The trained battle formation is very disadvantageous when landing in the north. The most important thing is that they are not defended by the cavalry, and they are rushed by the elite cavalry of the grassland nomads It's gone.

It is irrational for the navy to confront the cavalry in the vast area of ​​northern Xinjiang.

"The end will understand!"

He Qi nodded upon hearing this.

"You go, after you rest in Jinling for a day, go north as soon as possible!" Sun Quan waved his hand and said: "Before the end of the northern border war, the fleet under your command must be on standby in the East China Sea. Any accidents, as for the South China Sea and Australia, Gu has dispatched Gan Ning to the south!"

"promise!"

He Qi nodded, and then walked out of the side hall.

"Ziheng, did you hear clearly what Gu and General He said just now?" Sun Quan turned his head, looked at Lu Fan who had been left beside him all the time, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked pointedly.

"The minister understands!"

Lu Fan nodded indifferently.

"You have stayed in Yizhou before. You should be familiar with how to stabilize Australia in the future. You don't need to remind me of this. When Montenegro was transferred, we have already sent hundreds of thousands of people to Australia!"

Sun Quan said indifferently: "This is the first batch. Afterwards, we will send more people to develop Australia. According to preliminary investigations, Australia is a large place, comparable to the six counties in Jiangdong, or even surpassing Jiangdong. It is also rich in resources. The iron mines, gold mines we want, and where the climate is mild, as long as Australia can be stable, it will be Wu’s second granary!"

"I will do my best!" Lu Fan nodded.

"Lu Fan, are you still resenting Gu?" Sun Quan looked at his calm and expressionless face, narrowing his eyes slightly, very suddenly.

"Win the king and lose the bandit!"

Lu Fan shook his head and said calmly: "I dare not complain!"
