Becoming stronger from cutting Hu and Cao Cao

[Task rating sss. 】

[Mission Reward: Diamond Grade Blind Box. 】

It's been a long time since the blind box system was triggered, and Li Chen couldn't help being a little happy to get another diamond blind box now.The things opened in the diamond blind box can be said to be strategic in this era.

Just like the potatoes and sweet potatoes from the previous diamond blind box, this can be said to be Li Chen's sharp weapon for competing in the world.

This is a diamond blind box, it should be able to get good things, and it has the blessing of the few lucky shots I just had.

Thinking of this, Li Chen couldn't help but secretly nodded.

[Do you want to open the blind box? 】

The mechanized system prompt sounded in Li Chen's mind.

"Yes." Li Chen replied without the slightest hesitation.

Soon, the system's notification sound continued to ring in Li Chen's mind.

[Open the diamond blind box successfully. 】

[Congratulations to the host for getting the navy gift package. 】

"What?"

"Navy gift pack?" Li Chen felt a bit confused. What is this navy gift pack?

Could it be that a few aircraft carriers have been brought to Lao Tzu, accompanied by a few destroyers, frigates and so on?

System: "You're fucking thinking about farting."

Without too much hesitation, Li Chen opened the so-called navy gift bag. There was no aircraft carrier or carrier-based aircraft in the navy gift bag, but a few blueprints.

Without exception, these drawings record the manufacturing process of some ships, and the entire process is recorded in great detail.

Li Chen sorted out the content recorded on the blueprint, which recorded the manufacturing process of eight types of warships.

These boats are net shuttle boats, chain boats, fire dragon boats, Cangshan boats, haicang boats, centipede boats, three-rail gun boats, and chasing boats.

The net shuttle boat is an ultra-small fast boat with almost no combat effectiveness, and is used for reconnaissance.

The chain boats, fire dragon boats, and Cangshan boats are all small warships with less than a hundred troops. These warships are generally used as assault warships.

The Haicang Ship and the Centipede Ship are medium-sized warships that can carry hundreds of troops. The most important thing is that this type of warship already has the ability to attack from a long distance, and the sides of the ship are equipped with artillery.

The three-rail gunboat and the rushing boat are large ships that can carry thousands of troops and are as tall as a city tower.These two types of ships made great efforts when Zheng Chenggong regained Taiwan.

After sorting out the blueprints of all the ships, Li Chen was shocked to the extreme. This was not just the manufacturing blueprints of the ships, but also the casting blueprints of the cannons equipped on the ships.

These drawings are exactly the manufacturing drawings of naval equipment in the mid-Ming Dynasty.Needless to say, the navy of the Ming Dynasty was the overlord of the ocean in that era.

Li Chen felt that if he built these ships by himself, then those ships of Soochow, in front of these ships of his own, would simply belong to his grandchildren.

"and many more?"

"Soochow?"

"Sea boat?" Li Chen suddenly thought of something.

According to the urine nature of my blind box system, generally speaking, I must be able to prescribe what I lack?But now that he has sailed the boat, could it be that he is secretly thinking that his next goal is to take down Joe and Joe.Bah, why take down the big and small Joe, it should be to take down Soochow.

Li Chen couldn't help but secretly despise himself, no matter how big or small Qiao is, everyone is married.If he hit the attention of big and small Qiao, then he would be no different from Thief Cao.

What a wife.

What sisters.

Any double happiness is bullshit.

Of course, if Joe and Joe were accidentally captured during the fight against Soochow, then it's not impossible.

Chapter 175 Absorb refugees to expand population

Today's Dahan world can be described as a pool of muddy water, extremely chaotic.The eight kings of different surnames in the Han Dynasty each occupy one side and control the general situation of the world. Now the prestige of the Han Dynasty has been reduced to the extreme.

Among the Eight Kings, there are still some small forces struggling to survive.Although there is no war in the world at this time, anyone with a discerning eye can see how long this peaceful day has passed.

Today, the three most powerful forces in the world are Li Chen, King of Qin, Cao Cao, King of Wei, and Yuan Shao, King of Jin.Among them, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao both had more than 50 armored men, while Qin Wang Li Chen had only 20 troops.

However, Qin Wang Li Chen took the route of elite soldiers. The troops in his hands are all elite soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is far higher than that of Cao Jun and Yuan Jun.

Xuzhou, Yunlong Hall.

"Da da da."

There was a sound of footsteps, and Li Chen appeared in the Yunlong Hall wearing a black python robe.As soon as Li Chen appeared, a group of civil and military ministers began to salute respectfully.

"See King Qin."

"See King Qin."

As soon as Li Chen arrived, there was a burst of saluting in the hall.

"Get up."

Li Chen saluted with a slight forehead, motioning for all the civil and military personnel to stand up.

Now that Li Chen has become the king, in such a formal occasion, Li Chen cannot be called the lord, or the palace commander, and now he has to be called the king of Qin.

"Berwen, how is the recruitment of refugees going?" After everyone got up, Li Chen asked Liu Bowen who was beside him.

"To the King of Qin, 30 people have been taken in now. After the news from our side spreads, the speed of absorbing the population will definitely be much faster." Liu Bowen replied respectfully.

In ancient times, population was the most important thing. Even poor families knew that they should have more children, so that they would have a few helpers when they fight with neighbors.Ordinary people know the importance of population, how could Li Chen not know.

After the incident in Luoyang, Li Chen returned to Xuzhou and began to take the opportunity to attract refugees.In this era, there are not many things, except that there are many refugees.

When there is war, the people will go to places where there is no war; when there is famine, the people will go to places where there is no famine.This is called fleeing famine. It seems that for the common people, as long as they run fast enough, hunger will not be able to catch up with them.

Since ancient times, the Han people have had the plot of falling leaves returning to their roots. If it is not the time when they can no longer survive, who would want to leave their hometown?Fleeing from famine is just for the sake of being able to survive in this world.

Under normal circumstances, refugees are not very welcome everywhere.First, because people are so hungry that they can do anything, the influx of refugees will inevitably affect the local law and order.

Secondly, even the landlord's family has no surplus food. After accepting the refugees, they need to solve the livelihood of these people. This is not an easy matter.

Therefore, some places even choose to close the city gates and refuse refugees to enter the city when encountering the refugee dynasty.When the refugees saw that the city gates were closed, they naturally couldn't afford to waste time, so they rushed to the next city.

Of course, it is not that all places do not accept refugees at all.When it is necessary to recruit troops, or when there is an urgent shortage of people.There will also be places that will accept refugees, but this is only a very small number of cases when compared with the overall situation.

But now, Xuzhou is accepting refugees on a large scale, and it is a method of accepting all comers. As long as you are willing to come, then Xuzhou will accept it.

Even, in order to attract more people, Li Chen specially set up a slogan for accepting refugees.

He called: "Everyone who comes here is from Xuzhou."

With a population of 30, this number is actually not a lot.Today, the big Han world can be said to be vast and sparsely populated. After being dispersed to various counties and counties in Xuzhou, the population of 30 is just a waste of time.

The first batch of potatoes and sweet potatoes will soon be harvested, once the sweet potatoes and potatoes are harvested.With big killers like sweet potatoes and potatoes, not to mention Xuzhou's 30 extra population, Li Chen can afford to raise even 300 million extra population.

Li Chen nodded and said, "30 people is not a lot, and the speed of absorbing the population has to be accelerated."

Absorbing refugees in large numbers from Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's territory may not show anything in a short period of time, but in the long run, it is simply sucking the blood of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao secretly.Under the ebb and flow, the population on this person's site is getting smaller and smaller, while the number of people on Li Chen's site is increasing.If things go on like this, it will definitely affect the source of troops.You know, refugees in this era are the main source of troops for Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

"King Qin, we can afford to support even a million more people. Moreover, once our policy of absorbing refugees spreads, more and more refugees will come to seek refuge. However, making troubles in idle time will only increase the number of people." For such people, we must find something for them to do." Liu Bowen mused.

Now, the gathering for cultivation has passed, and even if the refugees are given grain and fields, they will have to wait until next year if they want to cultivate.Now these refugees are all supported by the relief food distributed by the government, but if there are too many people, troubles will inevitably arise.

To put it bluntly, I was afraid that they would eat and run away and have nothing to do, causing trouble.

Li Chen thought for a while, and said to Liu Bowen: "It's easy to do at this time, so let them work for the government with labor. In this way, they will work every day, and there will be no trouble."

"King Qin, what do you want them to do?" After Li Chen finished speaking, Liu Bowen questioned his soul.

Liu Bowen's question also stopped Li Chen from asking.Yeah, let them do what.This method of cash-for-work is good, but what to ask them to do is really a problem.

You know, Li Chen doesn't have a big territory right now, it's just Xuzhou and Luoyang.Moreover, Xuzhou and Luoyang are also considered to be among the most affluent areas of the big man, and the infrastructure is very complete.Suddenly, it is true that there is no place that can use tens of thousands of people.

After pondering for a moment, Li Chen said, "Well, let them go logging."

In this day and age, there are vast expanses of forests outside the city, and even if you fell to your death, you won't be able to finish felling in three to five lifetimes.

Li Chen waved his big hand, saying that tens of thousands of people were sent to log.The work-for-work offering has been found, but what are we going to use for cutting so much wood?

Chen Deng is the chief housekeeper of Xuzhou. Xuzhou's money, grain, salt, iron, etc. have to pass through his hands, and he is also in charge of all kinds of warehouses.As soon as Li Chen said that tens of thousands of people would be sent to log, Chen Deng was completely bewildered.

Several 10 people are logging together, how much wood needs to be felled, and the key question is again, why do we need so much wood.Even if you don’t do anything, it still takes up space wherever you put it?

"King Qin, what do we need so much wood for?" Chen Deng asked in confusion.

"I have my own use, and you will understand later." Li Chen smiled.

What does Li Chen want wood for? Naturally, he wants to build a ship.In his hand, he has the shipbuilding map of the most powerful Ming Dynasty navy in China for 5000 years, just like the three-rail gunboat and the rushing boat, these are large ships with thousands of materials.If these ships were to be built, the wood consumption would be incalculable.

The reason why Sun Jian was able to stay in Soochow was precisely because his Sun family's warship was the only one in the navy.Your soldiers and horses are powerful, and without ships, you are naturally no match for Sun Jian.Once Li Chen's boat is built, beating Sun Jian is like a father beating his son.

Chapter 158 The Next Target Soochow

After talking about the refugees, Li Chen glanced at the ministers under his command, and then asked: "How long do you think the world will be peaceful?"

Today, all the powerful forces in this world have just become kings.Everyone seems to have no intention of launching a war for the time being, and the world is still peaceful for the time being.

After Li Chen sent out, all the civil servants and generals under his command would naturally come out to answer.

The first one to speak up was naturally Liu Bowen.Liu Bowen came to the map, pointed to the map and said, "Look, my lord. According to our position in Xuzhou, we only need to guard against Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Sun Jian. In other words, we only need to guard against Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. Two people are enough. Although Sun Jian has a strong navy, his infantry is not strong. If Sun Jian wants to seek development, he should give priority to attacking Yuan Shu's territory."

"King Qin, in my opinion, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and our three families have the final say on the general situation of the world. If our three families do not take the initiative to attack, I am afraid that the rest of the people will not easily start a war."

Among the eight kings of the world at this time, Liang Wang Ma Teng and Yan Wang Gongsun Zan can be said to be as high as the sky and the emperor is far away, and Youzhou and Liangzhou are not considered wealthy states.The most critical issue is that if these two territories are conquered, the troops will have to be divided to guard against the grassland peoples.So, from this point of view, as long as Ma Teng and Gongsun Zan didn't commit suicide in a short period of time, no one would attack them.

In this way, Gongsun Zan and Ma Teng had to be eliminated first among the forces that determined whether the great man would be in chaos.Among the remaining six families, Cao Cao, King of Wei, Yuan Shao, King of Jin, Li Chen, King of Qin, Yuan Shu, King of Qi, Sun Jian, King of Wu, and Liu Bei, King of Shu.

Among the remaining six families, Liu Bei, the King of Shu, currently only has one county. Although he is related to General Zhang, he is indeed short of troops, so he only has the ability to defend and attack.

After the remaining six families threw away Liu Bei, the king of Shu, among the remaining five, Sun Jian, the king of Wu, was in danger of the Yangtze River, but the infantry was really not enough.Therefore, Sun Jian should and will not take the initiative to attack.Not to mention Qi Wang Yuan Shu, this guy is a fool with a lot of money.Ever since she became king of Qi, she is so beautiful that she doesn't know her last name anymore.Recently, he is spending a lot of labor to build his own Qi Palace, and obviously has no intention of fighting.

In this way, among the eight great kings in the world, the three aggressive ones are Li Chen, King of Qin, Cao Cao, King of Wei, and Yuan Shao, King of Jin.

"My lord, and I think that if there is a war, it must be a matter between our three families." Liu Bowen said solemnly.

On the throne, Li Chen stroked his chin and said, "Can you find a way to drag Soochow into the water."

When Li Chen said this, Liu Bowen's eyes lit up involuntarily.

"My lord, do you have the same intention?"

"I have been thinking these days, if there is war in the world. If there is a three-way war, then we will definitely become the thorn in the side of Cao and Yuan, and the thorn in the flesh. At that time, we will inevitably go to war on the two fronts. I thought about it. , the only way to solve this problem is to turn the three-party war into a four-party war."

"As long as Soochow can be dragged into the water, then the Quartet will fight each other." Liu Bowen pointed to Sun Jian's territory on the map and said.

On the throne, Li Chen stroked his chin and said, "Beat Soochow, that's what I mean too." "

Of course, Li Chen wanted to fight Soochow because he felt that the temperature in Soochow was relatively moderate throughout the year, and it was the most suitable place to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes. The sweet potatoes and potatoes grown in this environment were absolutely very moist. .

That's right, the reason Li Chen wanted to fight Soochow was because of this idea.It has nothing to do with Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, Sun Shangxiang, sisters, aunts, sisters, or anything else.

"The military division means that we will fight Sun Jian, and let Yuan Shao and Cao Cao fight?" Li Chen asked while rubbing his chin.

Liu Bowen nodded and said, "That's right, as long as Sun Jian can be pulled into the water, then Yuan and Cao will definitely go to war."

As the saying goes, Zhuge Liang divides the world into three parts, and Liu Bowen dominates the country.

Liu Bowen's vision is unquestionable, he sees the general trend of the world more clearly than anyone else.Looking at the current situation in the world, the two most promising forces competing for the world are Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.But because of Li Chen's appearance, the two sides couldn't decide the winner.I think that from the perspective of paper strength, Cao and Yuan should be evenly matched.

If they fight, it must be a protracted war.Moreover, there is Li Chen beside him now.If they were entangled together, no matter who Li Chen helped, he would cause the other party to suffer a crushing defeat.

Therefore, under such circumstances, before the two sides start the war, they must first get rid of Li Chen, the best third person.

If Li Chen wanted to prevent these two parties from dealing with him together, there was only one way, and that was to let them know that he was too busy to take care of himself.As long as Li Chen puts up a battle to deal with Sun Jian, then Cao Yuanshuang will relax his vigilance against him.

Li Chen is not afraid of fighting Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, the two of them are just defeated.The main reason is that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao don't have any wives to snatch for the time being, bah, there is no benefit to be gained.Now, it is obviously more in the interest to beat Sun Jian.

Li Chen touched his chin, thinking that before Cao Cao attacked Soochow, he seemed to have built a Tongque Terrace.Thief Cao built a Tongque Terrace back then, saying that he would capture Qiao and Qiao and imprison him in the Tongque Terrace, in order to anger Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.It just seemed that they were not angry, Cao thief himself was tricked by others, and the warship was set on fire, and he returned in a big defeat.

Li Chen thought, if it was his own, he would definitely not have built the Tongque Terrace.If you don't talk about troubles, you won't be angry with others.If it was Li Chen, it would be the whole big bed room.Just set up a big bed and tell the people in Soochow that I will arrest Xiao Qiao and Sun Shangxiang.What sisters, sisters-in-law, twins, what triple happiness, directly show it to you.

As soon as this set of rhetoric comes out, people who don't believe in Soochow will not be angry.

When Li Chen thought about it, the feeling of the picture came out immediately, and he immediately made a decision: "Let's fight Soochow."

"My lord, there is no ship if you fight Soochow?" Liu Bowen said with a sad face.
