Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2064 Eighth Route Army

Chapter 2062: Eighth Route Army

"This, this is really Xu Wu County?"

Gongsun Xuanyuan's eyes were wide open, and he couldn't believe what he saw.

The once desolate and uninhabited Haikou has now become a large harbor. Although it looks a little crude, the scale is extremely large.

All kinds of cargo ships traveled continuously between the north and the south, bringing in inexhaustible supplies of all kinds, and then carried them into the warehouse bag by bag by the laborers, and these laborers were all the people who had migrated from Xuwu.

After hearing Xuanyuan's exclamation, Jia Fu explained with a smile: "Of course this is Xuwu County, but it's not Xuwu County either. Now the name of this place is Tianjin County, and the port is called Tianjin Port."

Due to the battle between Qin and Qing on the front line, the entire Xuwu County was transformed into a fortress, and the people were also relocated to the rear port, and served as laborers to help the Qin army carry supplies.

The materials carried by the laborers were not light. Although they were sweating profusely from exhaustion, they still had a smile on their faces.

Xuanyuan was very puzzled by this, and after asking, he found out that the Qin army paid wages, although the wages were not much, but it was the first time in Youzhou that they were paid for their work during the war. , no wonder Xu Wu's people are so active.

Xuanyuan looked at another place, and saw that not far from the port, the outline of a city had also been built.

"It's really surprising. In such a short period of time, the Qin army actually built such a large seaport in Haikou, Xuwu County, and even built so many sections of the city..."

Xuanyuan is not an ignorant country bumpkin. He has been to Bohai Port, the largest port in Hebei, but in terms of scale, Bohai Port is not as good as this recently built Tianjin Port.

If it is only to transport grain and grass by sea, there is no need to build such a seaport, and what does this mean?

It shows that Qin Hao is determined to win Youzhou, and he not only wants to occupy it, but also plans to vigorously govern it. The purpose of building such a large port is to prepare for the future construction of Youzhou.

In fact, Xuanyuan had long planned to build a seaport here, and his political attributes were not low, so he naturally knew that if he wanted to change the impoverished situation in Youzhou, he had to vigorously develop commerce.

After the new seaport is built, the commercial development can be driven by maritime merchants, thereby increasing the commercial tax revenue of Youzhou. This is the fastest way to develop commerce for the Liao Kingdom.

The geographical location of Tianjin Port is extremely important. It connects the east, west, north and south of Youzhou, and can radiate to the whole of Youzhou. It is the best location for a new seaport.

Based on Gongsun Xuanyuan's understanding of Youzhou, he certainly knew that this place was a treasure land. He thought about building a seaport here more than once, but he gave up for three reasons.

One is that the Liao Kingdom is too poor, and all parties have invested a lot. They also need to repair Lulongsai and purchase equipment. There is no extra money for Xuanyuan to build a seaport.

The second is that Tianjin Port is too close to Yan State. Although Yan and Liao were still in an alliance at that time, if it was built, it is difficult to guarantee that Yan State will not send troops to snatch it, and Xuanyuan is not willing to make wedding dresses for others.

The third reason is that the Manchu Qing's ambition for Youzhou has never been extinguished, and they have been using various small tricks to interrupt the development of the Liao Kingdom, making Xuanyuan tired of dealing with it and not caring about other things.

Xuanyuan always knew the way to change Youzhou, but he couldn't do it, but he didn't want Qin Hao to help him do it when he returned to his old place, and it was so easy.

Thinking of this moment, Gongsun Xuanyuan couldn't help feeling a little guilty for the people of Youzhou. After all, he was a native of Youzhou, but he didn't do as much for Youzhou as outsiders.

Looking at this port, which is still a little crude, but has a preliminary layout, Gongsun Xuanyuan knows that as long as his actions on this trip are successful, Tianjin Port will replace Bohai Port in the future and become the largest port in northern Xinjiang. All will live well with this port.

With this in mind, Gongsun Xuanyuan became more determined. This trip is only allowed to succeed, never to fail.

Gongsun Xuanyuan roughly calculated the warships docked at the harbor, obviously not enough to carry [-] troops, and immediately asked Vice General Zhang Han: "Vice General Zhang, how long will it take for the Qingzhou navy to arrive?"

"General Gongsun, before we divided our troops, my lord sent a message to Beihai, asking Zhou Yu to lead the navy to Tianjin Port, but because the Beihai naval camp is quite far away, we let us go by land to take the lead. Arrived, but calculating the itinerary, it should be within half a day." Zhang Hanhui reported.

"Ah."

Gongsun Xuanyuan nodded, and it was still within his acceptance range for a long time. Now he is not willing to delay even a minute.

Two hours later, the Qingzhou Navy arrived at Tianjin Port, a few hours earlier than the scheduled time.

Seeing the fleet lined up outside Tianjin Port, Gongsun Xuanyuan couldn't help admiring: "What an elite navy."

Zhou Yu, who had landed ahead of time, couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "The current Qingzhou navy only relies on warships and equipment, and it is far behind the southern navy."

What Zhou Yu said is true. After all, the Qingzhou navy has only trained for half a year since its expansion, so it is naturally impossible to compare with the southern navy.

Gongsun Xuanyuan couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard this. He just felt that Qin Jun, the commander of the navy, was so angry that he was going to compare the northern navy with the southern navy.

Since ancient times, the south ship and the north horse, the north and the south have their own strengths.

Want to compare the navy in the north with that in the south?It's like comparing southern cavalry to northern cavalry.

One word, too difficult.

Although Gongsun Xuanyuan didn't take it seriously, he didn't speak out against Zhou Yu. In Qin Hao's words, dreams are still necessary. What if they come true?

Gongsun Xuanyuan didn't want to wait for a moment. As soon as Zhou Yu's navy arrived, he immediately asked the soldiers to carry supplies and board the ship. However, due to the types and quantities of supplies that needed to be brought, there were bows and arrows, bed crossbows, war horses, food and grass. Wait, so there was still some delay in moving, and it was already dark after all the moving, so I had to rest overnight and wait until the next day to go to sea.

"General Gongsun, next, my Qingzhou navy will carry your [-] troops across the sea to Liaodong County, and land in Pingguo County for you to land."

Then, Zhou Yu pointed to the location of Pingguo County, and said solemnly: "After the [-] troops landed, if you want to bypass Liaoxi County and reach Lulongsai, you must first go all the way to the north, and then go straight to the west. Montenegro.

Only after entering the border of Montenegro, can the army go around from the mountainous area north of western Liaoning to Lulongsai without revealing their whereabouts.

However, with such a long distance, it is absolutely impossible to bypass the Qing army stationed along the way without an exact distribution map of the Qing army's strength. "
