Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 404 Wei Man Korea
Above the Wei River, ships are like clouds.

The big ship as tall as a building is covered with the flags of the big man, fluttering in the wind. This ship is huge, with an average length of more than twenty feet and a height of more than ten feet. There are three-foot-high walls around each floor of the building. The low wall is used to block the enemy's arrows, just like a city wall, every floor is like this.

There are also arrow holes and spear holes on the low wall, from which the yellow heads can shoot and stab, while inside the low wall is a battle grid made of hard boards, which can be stretched out and let the yellow heads jump directly to On the opposite warship, the four walls of each floor are made of leather to strengthen the protection. The cabins below the upper deck are the places where the paddlers operate. Items to command the army.

The main building ship of the Dahan, the largest can hold [-] yellow heads. However, such a large ship is only available in the yellow head army directly under the temple. The main ship of the local building ship army can only accommodate hundreds of people, but , This is already very terrifying at the moment. The building ship of the Yellow Head Army is simply a water castle. It can attack and defend, as if a behemoth is entrenched on the water.

In addition to the main ships such as Louchuan, the Dahan Huangtou Army also has Luao, Xiandeng, Kusong, Chima, warships, scouts, boats, etc.

These ships have different uses. For example, Xian Deng is a small warship. It is very fast and can approach enemy warships at the fastest speed. It can chase down defeated enemies and occupy favorable terrain.The outer layer of the 艨艟 is wrapped in cowhide, which can effectively prevent the enemy's shooting. There are many arrow holes in it, which are mainly responsible for disrupting the enemy's formation, long-range output without melee.

Standing on the top floor of the building boat, Chang Liu looked into the distance and grinned.

The Huangtou Army of the Great Han has more than [-] soldiers, and the warships are lined up to block rivers.

At present, the number of Dahan's standing army is controlled at about 30. Of course, the adult men of Dahan must undergo military drills and serve in the military. If they are mobilized, 70, or even a million can be produced, but this is not necessary.The army of the Han Dynasty is mainly divided into three aspects. The first is the North and South Army, which is the standing army directly under the temple.

Among them, the garrison and the county pawn are subject to the service system. The people continue to serve in the garrison. In the past, the time was longer. The Empress Lu set a one-year deadline, and recently Han Xin has made a statement, hoping to abolish this. A replacement system, directly adopting the recruitment system, recruiting good family members to carry out border defense, reducing the number of border troops and increasing their combat effectiveness.

The North and South Army is recruited through the act of recruiting good family members, and the same is true for the navy. Substantial, replaced once a year.

Han Xin always felt that Dahan's army was a bit bloated and wanted to make some breakthroughs.

This is the first time Liu Chang has come to inspect the Yellow Head Army.

As the elite directly under the temple, the status of the Huangtou Army is not very high in these years, mainly because there is no sense of existence, not to mention compared with the North and South Army, that is, Tang Bing and Hexi Bing have more sense of existence than them, history On, they really started to shine, or in the crusade of the southeastern coastal areas.

Probably because of Chang Liu's arrival, they also wanted to perform better. All kinds of ships began to turn before Chang Liu, as if it was not just a boat, but a carriage. Formation, rushing, the yellow-headed people are even more brave. From time to time, they plunge into the water, jump from here, climb out from the side, and exchange ships with each other. Liu Chang can't help watching the various operations. I want to jump in and try the water.

Zhang Budo stood beside Liu Chang, his face was pale, his eyes were not squinting, and he pursed his lips and said nothing.

"Mighty teacher!"

Liu Chang couldn't help talking, looked at Han Xin who was calm beside him, and asked again, "Master, do you still know how to practice Huangtou?"

"Although the training method is different, the principle of training soldiers is still the same."

"Yes, in the future, I will let the building ships from various places patrol from time to time, clear the water pirates from various places, and protect the ships of water transport and merchants."

Liu Chang immediately rewarded the Yellow Head Army, and also rewarded many generals.

Only then did they follow the ministers to the shore, and Zhou Chang and others had been waiting on the shore for a long time.

Liu Chang went ashore, still talking to Lu Lu and the others with great interest about the might of the navy just now, "Whether Zhunan is calm or not depends on these yellow-headed troops, I think, from time to time, I will have to send them to the south to turn around. Turn around, let the people in the south wake up a little."

"Even if the yellow head doesn't go, they don't have the courage to oppose you."

The two were chatting, but Zhou Chang came up to interrupt them.

"Your Majesty, the envoy of King Yan has been waiting for a long time."

Liu Chang was a little unhappy, "What? He can't wait? Do you want me to visit now?"

Zhou Chang said helplessly: "Your Majesty, the matter that the envoy of Yan State wants to say is urgent, so please hurry up and go."

"OK OK"

Liu Chang looked at Lu Lu on the side, and said deliberately, "Then let's talk about sending someone to find elixir in Xiandao next time!"

Zhou Chang only felt that his eyes were darkened, and his body was on the verge of falling.

But before he could say "Your Majesty", Liu Chang laughed and left.

Lu Lu still has some conscience, he said seriously: "You don't have to worry, Prime Minister Zhou, Your Majesty never believes the words of these alchemists, they are just jokes."

Zhou Chang nodded, and Zhang Budo recovered his strength at the moment, and said with a smile: "Yes, Your Majesty has always been holy, how could you do such a thing? Please don't worry!"

When Zhang Budo said this, Zhou Chang's heart tightened again just now. Why did he worry even more when he said this? ? ?
The envoys of the Yan Kingdom have been waiting in Chang'an for several days, and they are in a hurry.

The moment he saw the envoy of the Yan Kingdom, Liu Xian burst into tears and began to shout "Father".

This made the envoys of the State of Yan startled, and hurriedly explained: King Yan is safe and sound, and can still draw a strong bow.

Liu Xian suddenly realized that you didn't come to invite me back to inherit the position of King Yan.

After waiting for several days, I finally saw His Majesty.

"What are you doing standing, come, come, sit down!"

Liu Chang waved his hand and let the messenger sit in front of him, "We can have some wine first!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, but I don't know how to drink alcohol."

"How can Yan people not drink alcohol?"

"This minister is from Zhao."

"Oh, no wonder, then tell me, why are you looking for me in such a hurry?"

The messenger said seriously: "The remnants of the Joseon Dynasty refused to pay tribute and robbed and killed our merchants. The king of my family asked His Majesty to allow him to send troops to attack!"

"Ah? Where did the remnants come from?"

The messenger said earnestly: "Your Majesty does not know, when Lu Wan rebelled, the Yan people were terrified, for fear of being implicated, they ran around, one of them, called Weiman, summoned the local rangers, and more than a thousand people from all over the world went there. In the Joseon Kingdom, the then Joseon King Keijun made him a doctor, gave him a kyu, and entrusted it to a hundred miles in the west."

"He kept recruiting exiles from the Central Plains on his own territory, and he got tens of thousands. Later, he falsely spread the news to Keizhun that we were going to send a large army to attack, saying that he was going to defend, but Keizhun didn't know it was a lie, He promised Weiman's request, so Weiman took this opportunity to lead his army to Wangjiancheng, the capital, and after capturing the capital in one fell swoop, he established himself as king."

This man is called Wei Man, and he can be regarded as a strange person. After obtaining the land of North Korea, he recruited immigrants, developed the local area, developed technology, and ruled North Korea.

Liu Chang still remembered that when his father had just passed away, he had written a letter to his elder brother, requesting that he be the outer king of the great Han.

It was just that Liu Chang was arguing against the Huns at that time, and Liu Ying was busy with this matter and had no time to deal with it. She just wrote back to him and asked him to wait.

At that time, Wei Man felt that he had been humiliated and wanted to go to Liaodong with the army to intimidate him, but his luck was very bad. As soon as he left North Korea, he met Mo Dun, who was fighting with Han Xin at the time, and he was furious. , Seeing that there is an army blocking the way, where can it be tolerated, and suddenly attacked.

Weiman's military capability is good in the Central Plains, and it is a dimensionality reduction attack on the peninsula.

As for Mao Dun's military ability, Zhou Bo was very difficult to fight. Even the Marquis of Huaiyin admitted that he was a formidable opponent, and there were not many people who could be praised by Marquis Huaiyin. Still Xiang Yu.

The two sides were not on the same order of magnitude at all, and Mo Dun almost hit Wei Man with the arrow, and even shot through his thigh with one arrow.

If it wasn't for the personal soldiers who took him to flee quickly, he would have been taken prisoner by Morton.

And his elite was also killed by the Huns. Wei Man himself died after holding on for several years. His son inherited the throne of Korea and developed for a while. Later, Zhou Bo crusades the barbarians outside Liaodong. When the tribes of Fan, Lintun and other tribes, Weiman's son felt that he had developed carefully for so long, and it was time to recover these tribes, so he brazenly sent troops.

As a result, he met Zhou Bo, who had gone through countless wars at that time and had been honed to the first echelon of Dahan.

Among these fierce generals in the early Han Dynasty, five were carried into the Wu Temple, Zhang Liang, Han Xin, Peng Yue, Cao Can, and Zhou Bo.

This is probably the first echelon of the early Han Dynasty.

Then, they ushered in a brutal massacre. Zhou Bo almost killed them all, all the way to the king city, and even the king of Joseon was beheaded by him. City people's heads were chopped off.

And now, it is not the Joseon state of this line that provokes the big Han, but the original Joseon King Keijun who was overthrown by Wei Man.

This Keizhun fled to the southern part of the peninsula, re-established his country, and renamed it King Mahan, which is occasionally abbreviated as "Korea" in Chinese history books.

After Dahan destroyed Weiman Korea, this Ji Zhun wrote to him several times, hoping that Dahan could follow the original etiquette and return the territory that Weiman this traitor had taken to himself, so that he could continue to serve as Dahan's foreign king. , and also wrote a lot of articles expressing loyalty, expressing that he wanted to be a dog for the big man.

However, King Yan and Chang Liu ignored him at all.

After Ji Zhun's death, his son ascended to the throne. Just like Wei Man's son, after gathering the surrounding indigenous people and the dead in Korea, he felt that he could make a fool of the big man and regain his homeland, so he began to try all kinds of things. Including looting merchants, destroying farmland, not allowing the surrounding small countries to communicate with the big Han, and even trying to murder the big Han's Lelang County Governor.

How could King Yan tolerate this clown jumping up and down, and immediately decided to send [-] troops to crusade these remnants.

After hearing the envoy's explanation, Liu Chang was also very angry.

"The country of bullets, dare to offend me?!"

Liu Chang looked at Lu Lu next to him and asked, "What is Zhou Bo doing now?!"

Hearing this sentence, Yan Shi's face turned pale.

"Your Majesty! You don't have to!!"

"The country of Yan is vast and sparsely populated. Most of these people are the fallen people of the Central Plains, and they are very useful."

"You don't have to worry, I gave Zhou Bo an order to let him kill less!"

"Your Majesty, Zhou Xiang is already very old, and the country of Yan is enough to destroy them. There is really no need to let him come."

These ministers of the State of Yan have a very deep impression of Zhou Bo. He is a ruthless man. If King Yan hadn't gone in time, Weiman Korea would have almost only had land left. What is the land that Yan State lacks?Of course there is also a shortage, but there is even more shortage of people. You can't cut them all down! !
Compared with Han Xin, Zhou Bo seems to be more shocking. For example, if you send Han Xin to Nanyue, the Nanyue people will definitely be afraid and greet them respectfully, but if you want to send Zhou Bo there, maybe before the people arrive, the Nanyue people will directly Scared to death first.

"Who is the current commander of Yan Kingdom?"

"It's Xu Li, Marquis of Sunzi."

"It's Xu Li."

Liu Chang nodded. He knew this Xu Li. He was his grandfather's lover and later served as his grandfather's husband. Shuangquan, very good at governing the country, not weak in fighting, deeply loved by the Queen Mother, his Chehou, all given by the Queen Mother.It was probably the "Queen Shepherd" beside Liu Bang back then. To be valued by the Queen Mother, his ability must be very outstanding.

"Then there is no need to assign others. However, the number of troops in the country of Yan is not large, so I still have to send people to help."

Liu Chang narrowed his eyes, and immediately said: "How about this, let the Yellow-headed Army cooperate with the Yan Army to attack these remnants!"

"The Yellow Head Army?"

The envoy was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Of course, Chang Liu was also very happy, not only because the Dahan Navy had a chance to take action, but also because Dahan needed another county.

Liu Chang is very obsessed with credit, what credit can be compared to expanding the territory?

This time he not only wants to take down Mahan, but since the navy has gone, he must take down the entire peninsula. At that time, many counties can be set up, so that the big Han will no longer have any in the northeast. Unstable factors.

"Your Majesty. You are sending Zhao, Dai, Yan Zhibing, and Huangmen to help you in the battle. Do you want to completely recover the entire peninsula?"

Although Lu Lu is not very smart, but seeing Liu Chang's triumphant appearance, he can also guess his intentions.

"Hahaha, more than that, I want to recover all the tribes except the Yan Kingdom! Destroy all the countries that are unwilling to surrender!"

"Don't tell Zhou Chang and the others about this for the time being!"

Liu Chang commanded in a low voice.

If Zhou Chang and the others knew about it, they would definitely oppose it with all their strength. The period when Liu Chang was in power was probably when the big man was at his most irritable, and there were wars everywhere. There was never a year without wars. Counties and counties increased like a snowball. The annual military expenditure is already a number that Emperor Gao could not even imagine. The word militarism is really suitable to describe Liu Chang. The surrounding area of ​​the big man was beaten by Liu Chang so that there are no neighbors.

The generals were of course very happy and could behead again.

But people like Zhou Chang don't agree, the country is warlike and will die!

Liu Chang didn't care. Now the big man is strong and they are weak. If we don't kill them at this time, should we wait until they become strong and then fight?These are all invisible threats. When Weiman went with more than a thousand people, he had tens of thousands of troops in a few years. If it takes time, will it become hundreds of thousands?millions?Will it start to threaten the rule of the Great Han in Liaodong and other places one day?

It is best to kill them with a stick, directly set up prefectures and counties, send people to educate them, and completely turn them into people of the Han Dynasty, so there is no worries.

"Your Majesty, you know me."

"I have followed you into the water to fish since I was a child. Once I catch one, I will catch the most on weekdays!"

Zhou Shengzhi said solemnly.

When he said this, his eyes were shining brightly, he crusaded Ma Han, I heard that there are all human heads, and they are especially easy to cut.

"Your Majesty, you know me."

"I plunged my head into the water and could stay in the water for half an hour!"

Xia Houzao was not to be outdone.

"It's true. If Luan Bu hadn't arrived in time, you would have stayed in the water until now."

Fan Yan said, and looked at Liu Chang seriously, "Your Majesty, I didn't make any contributions, and I got your reward and became the Marquis of Wuyang. I have always felt very guilty. Today is the time for me to defend you. , let me be the general of the building ship"

"Fuck, is your title rewarded by His Majesty??"

Zhou Shengzhi interrupted Fan, "Your Majesty, my eldest father asked me a dream some time ago, saying that he wanted to see me as a general of a building ship."

Many generals of Dahan are not permanent, such as the commander of the navy, who is only appointed during the war, and the allure of this wartime general is already very great. had such an opportunity.

Liu Chang also hesitated, looking at the group of sages in front of him, he hesitated for a moment.

Xiahouzao definitely couldn't take the job. It would be fine if he was the school captain in charge of the charge, but it was not enough to be the commander-in-chief of the first army.

And Lu Ta's impediment to water can also be ruled out.

Zhou Yafu also has to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army, which can also be excluded.

In the end, one had to choose between Zhou Shengzhi and Fan Wei.

Seeing His Majesty's hesitation, Fan Yan couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, when you borrowed money from me earlier, you said that you would make me a general and let me fight your enemies for you."

"Money? What money?"

"I see that you are a little delirious, how can you be the commander-in-chief of the yellow head?"

"Zhou Shengzhi! Come and serve as the general of the building ship, and Mr. Fan will serve as a lieutenant for you."

Zhou Shengzhi was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.

Fan Yan was stunned.

Liu Changda laughed.

Zhou Shengzhi is more suitable because his killing intent is greater.

ps: I have to take my child for injections again today. Because it is not allowed to go out now, the injections have become more troublesome. Because I have to code words on my mobile phone from time to time, it is intermittent, so the speed is very slow, and my thoughts are often interrupted. Open, there may be many typos, Lao Lang will take time to correct them one by one.
