Chapter 136 Construction of Warships

Sun Ce got help from Yu Ji. Although Yu Ji can be regarded as one of the best immortals today, it doesn't matter who he compares to!

These immortals may have been able to run rampant in the past, but now... Liu Xuan's endless methods have made them feel pressured, especially with the successive failures of Nan Hua and Zuo Ci. Yu Ji now regrets that he actually chose to support Sun Ce.

Already.

Compared with Nan Hua, who has huge ambitions, Zuo Ci wants to protect his own interests. Yu Ji's requirements in this regard are actually not that high. He just hopes to become a state teacher and then develop a society supported by those in power.

of sects.

Originally, he thought that with Sun Ce taking the lead, he would just need to be careful to deal with some special situations, but now it seems that his idea was too naive.

The news coming from the north kept stimulating everyone in Jiangdong. Yu Ji also knew that he could no longer hold back, otherwise with Sun Cejun's current strength, there would be no way to stop the imperial army from going south - originally they could still

They say they have the natural barrier of the Yangtze River as a barrier, but with the emergence of floating vehicles, the natural barrier of the Yangtze River does not seem so insurmountable.

Therefore, in order to increase the strategic verticality and gain a wider room for maneuver, Sun Ce must launch an attack on Liu Biao and take Jingzhou into his hands as soon as possible.

In this way, Sun Ce can be more targeted in his defense deployment - Chen only needs to deploy heavy troops in Jingzhou, while Xuzhou can be appropriately relaxed.

Because it is impossible for the imperial army to leave Jingzhou alone and launch an attack from Xuzhou, let’s not talk about how much more distance the imperial army and horses need to travel from Luoyang to Xuzhou and then launch the attack.

Jingzhou is just south of Luoyang. If he captures Jingzhou, Sun Ce will have the conditions to directly attack the heart of the imperial court. So once Sun Ce captures Jingzhou, the imperial court will definitely use Jingzhou as the main battlefield against the Sun family in Jiangdong - Xuzhou?

Hold on till death to act as a containment.

In fact, after confirming that they were going to attack the south, the plan drawn up by the imperial court was pretty much what Sun Ce had guessed.

At first, let the Sun family and Jingzhou fight to the death. Anyway, the imperial court has just moved the capital, many affairs are in a mess and it is difficult to sort out, soldiers and weapons are also being moved, and it is difficult to send troops. This can be dealt with for a year or two.

And with Sun Ce's ability, one or two years would be enough to turn the entire Jingzhou into a mess.

If we don't send troops now, firstly, the local forces in Jingzhou are still strong, and Liu Xuan is too lazy to get involved with those people. In addition, Liu Biao will not let the imperial army enter immediately, because once he enters, it will basically mean that he has given up his own power. The imperial army

Once entering Jingzhou, everyone knows that they will never leave again.

The local forces in Jingzhou don't want to be ruled by 'outsiders', so instead of being upset by those people who treated them like donkeys with good intentions in the early days, it would be better to watch the show honestly on the sidelines, and then make a shining debut as the savior at about the same time.

.

"You really have a bad taste!"

Huang Yueying's eyes almost turned into two characters, and she clearly despised Liu Xuan, causing Zhen Mi and Diao Chan next to her to chuckle.

This girl takes advantage of her young age to pretend to be cute, and is very familiar with Liu Xuan's concubines. In addition, this girl has learned a lot and knows a lot, and can chat with anyone, which leads to

Liu Xuan's women all like Huang Yueying. It is estimated that if the little girl was not too young, these women would collectively encourage Liu Xuan to recruit her into the palace.

However... although she is not accepted as a concubine at the moment, Huang Yueying can move in and out of the palace freely, no different from walking in her own back garden. Even those who are not smart in the capital know that the emperor likes this dark-skinned and weird-haired girl very much.

The little girl with yellow hair is said to have learned a lot because of her talent.

It was because of this that Liu Xuan got the name of "talent lover", which made him dumbfounded and caused Huang Yueying's extreme dissatisfaction.

"Sister Yueying, don't go out to bask in the sun all the time. After all, you are getting older and you have to think about yourself!"

Zhen Mi's suggestion basically represented the mainstream view at this time. Huang Yueying was helpless and unable to get angry. She could only curl her lips in depression: "I'm not black, I'm healthy!"

"It's obviously a beautiful wheat color, but why does it sound like an African when it comes to those people's mouths?"

"Africa?"

Although Zhen Mi heard a lot of strange things from Liu Xuan, she really didn't know where Africa was: "Does the Han Dynasty have this state?"

While Liu Xuan found it funny, he also remembered that he should spread more common sense about the earth to the students in the Imperial Academy. At present, the things taught in the Imperial Academy were no longer able to meet the needs of the current court. Although at the beginning of the year,

'Cultivation' courses have been offered since then, but this is far from enough.

Zhen Mi is now valued in Taixue for her knowledge. No one will say that she entered Taixue because of her connections with the emperor.

In addition, Taixue has gradually begun to recruit female students. Although the number is not large, compared with only Zhen Mi and Lu Lingqi a few years ago, female students are more common, so they are no longer so objectionable.

In addition, with the growth of age and knowledge, Zhen Mi's current temperament has become more and more stressful. Many people actually feel like they are suppressed by her in front of her. Even those who are a little timid can even

I can't even lift my head.

If Liu Xuan hadn't gone to the Imperial College out of boredom and was surprised to see some male students avoiding Zhen Mi, he would not have noticed this.

At that time, Huang Yueying said with bright eyes: "Wow... she is indeed Queen Zhen!"

"..."

Of course Liu Xuan likes this change. He wishes that the daughters around him have different temperaments and styles. Otherwise, he would feel bored when he returns to the palace after dealing with business and sees almost the same woman talking to him.

of.

Looking at Zhen Mi now, he was very satisfied. She looked like an intellectual and strong woman. It would be even more perfect if she was paired with a suit.

"Well, I'll let Yueying make one when I have time!"

After talking for a while, Huang Yueying suddenly remembered something and said: "By the way, isn't the Royal Port being built on the other side of the Yellow River? I wonder if they have started building ships?"

After building a hover car and some engineering vehicles, Huang Yueying's interest in using her cultivation knowledge to build something increased significantly.

Unfortunately, there was no work for her to do during this period, so she just improved the auxiliary smelting device so that it could serve the ordnance workshop of the Ministry of Industry - the quality and speed of manufacturing weapons were improved by several levels.

In addition, it is to make some ‘toys’ for yourself and then show them off in front of Liu Xuan.

But if she does this for a long time, she will feel bored. Now she has moved to Luoyang and learned that Liu Xuan not only wants to build a royal port (directly connected to the imperial city), but also build a Luoyang port and add a waterway transportation line.

Huang Yueying was very interested in this plan, mainly because she knew that once the port construction was completed, the manufacture of ships would be put on the agenda, so she was thinking about getting a few large ships to use as her own private yachts.

"Like Titanic or something..."

Liu Xuan pinched his temples: "Do you think a giant steel ship of the Titanic's level can move in the Yellow River?"

Huang Yueying didn't care about that: "Just build a slightly smaller one. There's no need to carry so many people anyway." She rolled her eyes and had another idea: "By the way, let's go see the port together. At least I can

Do you know how big a ship can be accommodated in the port you asked those people to build?"

I guess after reading it, Huang Yueying will start designing it, right?

But it would be a good thing to design it early. Yu Jin was still waiting for him to build a ship for him. Even Gan Ning was wondering why the court still refused to build a ship since it wanted to train the navy? He didn't know that Liu Xuan couldn't see it at all.

Get on a wooden boat with a flat bottom and a square bow at this time.

In fact, Liu Xuan's requirements were not particularly high: the ships built by the imperial court could at least sail freely in offshore areas and did not need to set foot in the deep sea.

But this requirement is still a bit high for people of this era, especially for a group of northern inland people who have little understanding of the sea.

Therefore, the Ministry of Industry has been designing and re-designing, but none of them has been qualified. For this reason, the Ministry of Industry specially sent people to the beach to conduct on-site surveys. Even Huang Chengyan, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, went to the beach for a day last year.

For a while, I asked local fishermen about the situation in the sea.

After understanding the general situation, everyone felt a headache. The only thing that was certain was that the warship required by the emperor must be strong enough and heavy enough, otherwise it would not be able to sail smoothly on the sea.

Based on their knowledge, Liu Xuan was satisfied with being able to do this, so he did not embarrass them. Besides, he wanted to leave these things to Huang Yueying from the beginning. He could even be sure that the Weapon Refining Department would do this in the future.

The ironclad meeting will be handed over to Huang Yueying.

After calling Cai Yan and Xiao Qiao, Liu Xuan took several of his women and boarded a small hover car specially used to drive in the palace, admiring the scenery as they headed north.

Coupled with Huang Yueying, a chirping and lively little girl, everyone would not feel bored on the road, so they arrived at the Yellow River not long ago - it looked like a construction site, but Liu Xuan could see that the port had been built.

The general outline has been completed, and even the berths for berthing ships have been built.

All that's left is to add more buildings for various purposes.

"Is this Port Royal?"

Huang Yueying stood tall and looked around while setting up a pergola, then turned around and asked Liu Xuan: "Do you want to send troops directly from here and then land along the coastline in Jiangdong?" The countless berths indicate that a considerable army can be parked here.

Number of fleets.

"almost!"

Liu Xuancai was not interested in hanging out with Sun Ce on the Yangtze River. Although he agreed to let Lu Bu be the commander-in-chief, it did not mean that there would be only one army during the southern expedition. As for whether the other army would harass or become another main force, it all depends on what Huang Yueying can create.

Such a ship.

"Look at me!"

With her head held high, Huang Yueying didn't find it difficult at all!
