Great Military Division

Chapter 345 The six warships are released, and the Jiangdong tiger becomes a small cat in seconds!

After repelling Deng Peng, Liu Bian turned his head and glanced at Zhou Yu: "How does Zhou Yu think about this battle?"

Zhou Yu naturally knew the process of today's decisive battle, and understood what His Majesty meant: "If it were Deng Zhi, it might be a little troublesome, but I believe that it will not be so easy for him to win the latter."

"You are quite confident."

Liu Bian naturally believed that Zhou Yu had that ability.

After all, he was the governor of Jiangdong, who helped Sun Ce sweep Jiangdong's handsome talents. If he didn't even have this confidence, it would be really weird.

"Don't lie to Your Majesty."

Zhou Yu didn't hide anything, and confessed honestly: "In the past three months in Wancheng, the general has been studying the formation of the Mandarin Duck Army, and has a relatively in-depth understanding of the strategic depth."

"In addition, the general has learned a lot of military tactics, so he came up with the idea of ​​combining various formations. Deng Peng just refused to accept it, so the general will use him to try his edge."

Liu Bian smiled indifferently: "You are quite bold, but have you ever thought about what would happen if you lose? Could it be that Deng Peng is really giving up the position of the general of the Mandarin Duck Army?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty."

Zhou Yu said with great certainty: "Actually, before coming to the Yuanyang Army, the general already knew about the officers and men of the Yuanyang Army. If that Deng Yi refuses to accept it, perhaps the general would not dare to be so presumptuous."

"Deng Peng?"

Zhou Yu's words contained a touch of disdain: "This man may be a good leader in the charge, but in terms of arranging troops and commanding battles, although he is inherited from Deng Zhi, he has no form and no spirit. The gap is so far that it is insignificant."

Liu Bian was amazed and deeply moved: "If you really obeyed that sentence, know yourself and your enemy, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles. I broke the rules and promoted you to be the leader of the Mandarin Duck Army. I really chose the right one."

"Oh, right."

Liu Bian frowned, suddenly remembered something, and asked curiously: "I have always had a doubt, and I hope the general can answer it."

Zhou Yu hurriedly bowed his body and cupped his hands: "I don't know what doubts your majesty has? The final general will know everything and say everything."

Liu Bian waved his hands to signal him to stand up: "It's not a big deal, I'm just curious about why the general chooses the generals and why he chooses those recruits. I think it's not just as simple as being obedient, right?"

"Your Majesty's lesson."

Zhou Yu nodded affirmatively, and explained: "The recruits are indeed obedient. This is very important. Of course, what is more important is that their acceptance of the mandarin duck formation is not too high. It is relatively easy to change the fusion formation. .”

"Your Majesty should have discovered that when the last general's crane wing array moved to the two sides, it did not move according to the mandarin duck formation, and its attack on Deng Peng's central forces was not the usual attack method of the mandarin duck army."

hiss-!
Surprised, Liu Bian gasped.

He carefully recalled the scene on the battlefield just now.

When the Crane Wing Formation changed to the Two Dragon Water Formation, its movement method was indeed not the formation structure of the Yuanyang Army, but such a detailed problem, if Zhou Yu hadn't reminded it, Liu Bian would never have noticed it at all.

Even the experts of the military division alliance may not have noticed such super-detailed problems. The military strategists of this era are indeed no worse than modern ancient military experts!

"good!"

Liu Bian couldn't help but praised: "It's no wonder the general can achieve full marks in the art of war exam. Maybe the questions I gave are a little easier."

Although both a genius and an ordinary person may get full marks, for an ordinary person, his ability can only go so far, but for a genius, it is because there are only a few points on the test paper, the two are not the same .

Obviously!

Zhou Yu is like this.

Liu Bian resolved the doubts in his heart, and turned to the main topic: "General, do you know why I transferred you to the Mandarin Duck Army?"

Zhou Yu frowned, and said softly: "The general has thought about it, but he hasn't got an answer yet. I hope His Majesty can give you some pointers."

Liu Bian didn't bother to talk nonsense, and said directly: "Since the general has studied the combat methods of the Mandarin Duck Army, he should know where the combat field is suitable for it."

Zhou Yu tried to give an answer: "Jingxiang, Jiangdong?"

Liu Bian nodded: "That's right! Jiangnan has high mountains and dense forests, which is suitable for a small army to fight and deal with the bandits. Now the imperial court has spread across three states, and its strength has increased."

"This year, in order to ensure grain production, the imperial court invented a new type of chemical fertilizer. In the future, it is very likely that the south line and the north line will fight on two fronts, in order to quickly complete the unification."

"Jingxiang and Jiangdong are natural granaries. If you can take them back to the imperial court, you won't have to worry about food and grass in the future. Therefore, the real purpose of transferring you to the Yuanyang Army is to cooperate with Sun Jian's navy and sweep Jiangnan."

"Of course!"

Liu Bian added: "I understand very well that the general is a handsome talent. A small mandarin duck army cannot satisfy the general at all, but I can assure the general that when the imperial court expands in the future, there will be a place for the general."

Zhou Yu cupped his hands and cupped his fists hurriedly when he heard this, "Thank you Your Majesty, the final general will live up to your high expectations."

Liu Bian waved his hands to signal him to stand up: "So general, from today onwards, you must hurry up and train. When the mandarin duck army is out of its sheath, it must be a sharp sword. If you come, you can fight, and if you fight, you can win!"

Zhou Yu cupped his hands: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the end will be clear."

"kindness!"

Liu Bian nodded.

At this moment, they have already left the barracks: "You go back, strike while the iron is hot, clear up the morale of the army, and stabilize your position as the general. If you need anything, just ask the court."

Zhou Yu bowed his body and cupped his hands: "Here, I will send you off to Your Majesty at the end."

Liu Bian got into the car: "Go back."

On the road.

When Liu Bian was closing his eyes and resting his mind, the voice of the Military Division Alliance sounded: "Master Bian, the experts watched the replay of the battle carefully just now, and found that it is indeed as Zhou Yu said, the movement process is not the way of the Yuanyang Army."

"Although experts can understand most of the formations and their corresponding functions through historical materials, it is impossible to grasp such details clearly."

"We didn't come in vain today. Their battle can be regarded as a solution to a long-standing problem in the academic world for the experts of the Military Division Alliance. Thank you Lord Bian."

Liu Bian thought about it, and said softly: "It's just a little effort, why bother to say thank you, not only an expert, but even myself, it's an eye-opener."

"Zhou Yu is indeed a famous military strategist in the history of the late Han Dynasty. He was able to help Sun Ce sweep Jiangdong, and since then he has established Jiangdong's foundation. It is really admirable."

"Unfortunately."

Liu Bian heaved a sigh of relief and shook his head regretfully: "Why did he die young?"

The military division alliance said softly: "It is said that the old disease has relapsed, but no one knows the real reason."

"It's a pity, it's a pity."

"Master Bian, don't be too sad, at your time, he can live at least 20 years."

"."

Squeak and twist—!
The carriage wobbled and returned to Wancheng.

Liu Bian had just returned to the Emperor's Palace, and before entering the Wende Hall, He Yun greeted him: "Your Majesty, Liu Ye in Qiqiao Pavilion has been waiting for Your Majesty for a long time."

"Oh?"

Liu Bian frowned slightly: "Zi Yang is here?"

He Yun nodded: "That's right."

"it is good!"

Liu Bian responded: "Let him wait in Wende Hall, I will be there later."

He Yun cupped his hands: "Here."

Soon.

After Liu Bian changed into fresh clothes, he rushed to Wende Hall.

Sure enough, Liu Ye was already waiting respectfully, seeing Liu Bian entered the hall, he hurriedly stood up to greet him: "My subject Liu Ye, see Your Majesty."

Liu Bian waved his hand to signal him to sit aside, and he went straight to the top: "Zi Yang came today, but the battleship has been built?"

Liu Ye nodded and nodded: "That's right! According to the drawings given by His Majesty, all six types of warships have been built, and they can be built on a large scale only after His Majesty's verification."

The warships of the Han Dynasty were mainly Louchuan, Mengchong, and Menjian. Although they were relatively complete in function, they were indeed relatively backward in technology.

Because of this, the Military Division Alliance divided the battleship groups according to their functions, and provided six kinds of battleship technical blueprints, and asked KitKat Pavilion to be responsible for the strategy of this part of the technology and build them.

I thought it would take at least a year for Liu Ye and Li Ren to break through the technical barriers of these six warships. I never thought that they could solve all of them in just half a year. unhappy.

"Your Majesty, let's see."

Immediately, Liu Ye pointed to the wooden benches beside him. On each wooden bench was a model of a warship: "This is the ship model made according to the blueprint."

"This is a treasure ship fit for the navy!"

"This is a sand boat suitable for sailing in the north!"

"This is a paddle boat unaffected by rivers and wind!"

"This is."

"."

Liu Ye introduced the battleships one by one, with excitement in his words: "Your Majesty, every battleship here has broken through the technical barriers, and Kit Kat Pavilion is fully capable of organizing boatmen to build warships."

"very good!"

Liu Bian glanced at these warships, and couldn't hide his excitement: "Quickly arrange the relevant boatmen to build the warships, and the imperial court will fully support them."

Liu Ye bowed and cupped his hands: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Oh, right."

Liu Bian suddenly remembered something, and reminded: "Although you have broken through the technical barrier, it is only manufacturing and assembling at best. The bearing capacity of some stressed components is influenced by the material. You must keep this in mind."

"Also, the main keel of the ship must be carefully selected, especially on those main battleships, you must be careful. Remember not to use assembled keels, understand?"

The ships of the Han Dynasty did not have the concept of a keel for the time being, but all of these warships had a keel, and the keel, as the main force-bearing structure of the hull, was the biggest factor affecting safety.

Because of this, Liu Bian always repeatedly emphasized these issues, and hoped that Liu Ye could always keep in mind that he would not make such low-level mistakes, so as not to affect the great cause of the navy.

Liu Ye bowed his body and cupped his hands: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Regarding the material of the keel, we have already found suitable materials. As long as Your Majesty gives an order, we can send someone to send it back."

"Oh?"

Liu Bian was surprised: "Have you found it?"

Liu Ye nodded: "En."

"Where did you find it?"

In Liu Bian's memory, there was no timber in Nanyang that met the conditions for the keel of a giant treasure ship.

"In Yuzhou!"

Liu Ye gave the answer without hesitation: "Near Fubo, Yuzhou, there is a giant tree surrounded by five people. Visually, it is at least several hundred feet high. It should meet the requirements for the keel of a treasure ship."

Liu Bian had to admit that the primeval forests in the late Han Dynasty were really everywhere, and there were so many towering giant trees that people were dazzled, some of which even modern botany experts had never seen before.

It is precisely because of the existence of the primeval forest that it is possible for Liu Bian to build a giant warship. Otherwise, the existence of that kind of towering giant tree will really be an epic problem.

"very good!"

Liu Bian nodded in satisfaction: "As long as you keep these things in mind, I can rest assured! If you are short of money, you can ask Wen Ruo to ask for it. This year the court is not short of money, so you can do it freely."

"kindness!"

Liu Ye was in a good mood, bowed his body and cupped his hands: "Since that's the case, I have a request now, I don't know if I should say it or not."

Liu Bian smiled lightly: "Although Zi Yang's words are good, if it is really necessary, I will naturally allow it."

"Here."

Liu Ye seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and immediately blurted out: "Your Majesty, I want to build the first shipyard in Yuzhou. Although it is far away from Nanyang, it is very convenient to obtain materials and save a lot of time."

"can!"

Liu Bian agreed without hesitation: "However, Nanyang also needs to have a shipyard. After all, for some warships, materials from Nanyang can also be used, and it doesn't have to be in Yuzhou."

"We can do a division of labor. Some giant warships can be handed over to the shipyard in Yuzhou, and some medium-sized warships can be handed over to Nanyang."

"even."

Liu Bian emphasized: "If possible, I plan to open a shipyard in Xuzhou in the future to lay the foundation for the future imperial court to go to sea."

"what?"

Liu Ye was taken aback.

Obviously.

He never thought that Liu Bian would have such strong support for shipbuilding.

However, at this moment Liu Ye also realized that His Majesty had already put the matter of attacking Jiangdong and Jingxiang on the agenda, otherwise it would not be so urgent, even at the cost.

"how?"

Liu Bian smiled lightly, and asked back: "Are you scared by me?"

Liu Ye didn't hide it either: "It's really a bit."

Liu Bian said softly: "Zi Yang don't need to be alarmed, there is a reason for my arrangement like this, you Qiqiao Pavilion has no other tasks this year, but to build ships and train a large number of skilled workers for the imperial court."

"Also remember, certain key technologies must be kept secret and must not be known to outsiders. Once these six types of warships come out, they will shock the world, and there will inevitably be no thieves coveting them."

Liu Ye raised his eyebrows and said affirmatively: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the secrecy measures have been discussed by the ministers, at least for three to five years, it should not be known by outsiders."

"kindness."

Liu Bian was very satisfied with this: "Three to five years is enough for the imperial court to wipe out Jiangnan! How about it, you go back now, organize the affairs of the shipyard, including site selection, personnel, costs, etc., into a memorial and report it to the imperial court. "

Liu Ye bowed and cupped his hands: "Here."

Immediately.

Bow down and leave the hall.

Looking at Liu Ye's leaving back, Liu Bian let out a sigh of relief, and thought to himself: "Teacher, the matter of shipbuilding has been put on the agenda, and this method of water warfare should also be talked about with Sun Jian."

"Although we have already begun to teach Sun Jian the knowledge of water warfare, I am afraid it is unknown how much Tie Hanhan can master. It is better to instill him in a systematic way now."

From the beginning, Liu Bian's positioning for Sun Jian was Jingxiang, Jiangdong, and Jiaozhou. If these places can be captured, they will gradually infiltrate towards Southeast Asia.

Sun Jian, as the founder of the Sun family, was supposed to be the commander of the court's navy, but after all, his performance in history was mostly based on land warfare. Even the military division alliance is not very clear about the water warfare.

That being the case, relevant knowledge should be disseminated systematically and comprehensively. From now on, let Sun Jian enter the role of the commander of the navy, so as to regulate his thinking and behavior.

"can!"

The Alliance of Military Advisors strongly agrees with this: "I didn't show my fangs before, because I was afraid of scaring Liu Biao in Jingzhou, but now that we have established a firm foothold, we should show a moderate offensive posture and put some pressure on Liu Biao."

"This guy is just 50 years old this year, and he is at the peak of his career, not to the extent that Tao Qian has lost his motivation. Presumably, he will not be easily coerced by the Jingzhou gentry, let alone surrender."

"The most important thing is."

The military division alliance emphasized: "Our attitude towards the Nanyang noble family will definitely affect the Jingxiang noble family. They will not want to follow in the footsteps of the Nanyang noble family."

Although, Liu Bian had always used soft knives to cut flesh and slowly tortured the Nanyang nobles, but up to now, he has basically shown his original intentions.

but
Even if the Nanyang family realized something, it would be difficult to shake Liu at this moment.

Because a large number of Nanyang gentry have become Liu Bian's vassals, and a few aristocratic families alone do not have such great appeal.

More importantly, Liu Bian's benevolent government measures have made the people of Nanyang dependent. No matter how capable the aristocratic family is, no one will accompany the rebellion, so they can only stare blankly.

Rebellion has no conditions, and resistance cannot be defeated
Ha ha!

The Nanyang family is now a fish on the chopping board and can only be slaughtered by Liu Bian.

Of course, the premise is that Liu Bian can't arouse public grievances, and can't give the family any reason or possibility to resist, otherwise they will definitely resist without hesitation.

The Jingxiang gentry are not stupid. When Liu Biao was in charge of Jingzhou, they were the real masters of Jingzhou. But if Liu Bian’s power extends over, they can only be vassals at best. At that time, the private land will be publicized, and there will be a way to survive. Otherwise, they can only wait. die.

But once this happens, they will completely lose the right to speak in Jingzhou, and they will only be vassals of the imperial power forever. The emperor only needs to spend some money to completely abandon the capital you depend on for survival.

Liu Bian had expected this for a long time, so he never expected Liu Biao to surrender. Only the country that has been conquered is the most stable country. Those who surrender will always have hidden dangers, just like Xuzhou where conflicts have not yet broken out.

"Come on!"

Liu Bian greeted him.

Squeak-!
Zhu Tong pushed the door open and entered, bowed his body and cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

Liu Bian ordered: "Quickly send someone to summon Sun Jian to the palace, I have something important to give."

Zhu Tong cupped his hands: "Here."

Immediately.

Bow down and leave the hall.

About half an hour later, Sun Jian hurried into the hall, bowed his body and cupped his hands: "The last general, Sun Jian, see Your Majesty."

Liu Bian waved his hand to signal him to sit aside: "Wentai, I have some good news to tell you."

"Oh?"

Sun Jian was astonished and tried to ask: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, but the battleship is finished?"

Liu Bian got up and went to the battleship model area: "Look, this is the battleship I prepared for you. Whether it is a big river or a winding stream, there are suitable battleships."

"This"

Sun Jian stared like a bell, full of horror.

Although he was born in Wu County, Yangzhou, he has seen many warships since he was a child.

but
When the battleship model in front of him appeared in front of him, Sun Jian was still taken aback: "Could it be possible that these are all new-style warships that His Majesty is talking about?"

"That's right!"

Liu Bian said affirmatively, "How about it, do you like it?"

Sun Jian nodded: "I like it! The general has never seen such a beautiful warship. I don't know when our army will be able to board the ship for training. During this period of time, the general has really driven him crazy."

"Don't worry."

Liu Bian interrupted with a wave of his hand, and poured a basin of cold water directly from head to bottom: "Now the technical barriers of shipbuilding are only broken, and the shipyard is about to be built. I'm afraid that you will be able to board the ship for training in midsummer."

"what?"

Sun Jian froze on the spot: "We have to wait! Your Majesty, our army really has nothing to pity on. If this continues, I'm afraid the morale of the army will be lost!"

"That's a problem for you to govern the army, don't rely on me."

Liu Bian would not be polite, and directly turned back: "If you really can't lead the soldiers, then retreat, and you can take care of yourself. There is no shortage of generals to lead the soldiers here."

"You will know your mistakes in the end."

Sun Jian, the fierce tiger in Jiangdong, turned into a kitten in front of the emperor, and he couldn't be fierce at all: "It's just impatient, please don't blame your majesty."

"okay."

Liu Bian waved his hand and interrupted directly: "Although the new warships haven't been built yet, it doesn't mean that you have nothing to practice with. You need to be familiar with the handling, steering, and use of these new warships in advance."

Immediately.

Liu Bian handed the operation manual prepared in advance to Sun Jian: "This is the control essentials of the six warships, as well as the water warfare strategy I summarized. After you go back, you must study it carefully and be familiar with it by heart."

"remember!"

Liu Bian emphasized: "Those who do not make preparations are those who prepare for failure. The same is true for those who do not prepare well. I estimate that Jingxiang will have an accident in a short time. You will definitely have war this year."

"If you, Sun Jian, cannot unleash the power of these warships by the time the navy is unsheathed, then don't blame me for being rude to you. It's not a joke to change generals at that time and take care of yourself for the rest of your life!"

Sun Jian immediately cupped his hands and cupped his fists: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, when I go to battle, I will definitely show off the glory of the court and never let Your Majesty down. Otherwise, I don't need your Majesty's order, and I will kill myself in the end to thank the world!"

"This statement boosts morale!"

Liu Bian was very satisfied with Sun Jian's answer, and nodded affirmatively: "I believe in your ability, go back and train well, don't waste time."

Sun Jian bowed his body and cupped his hands, solemnly said: "Here."

Immediately.

Bow down and leave the hall.

At this moment, the netizens in the live broadcast room suddenly fried the pot:
"Foggrass! The Jiangdong tiger is so intimidating in front of Master Bian?"

"This nima has become a little cat, not a Jiangdong tiger."

"Haha! Forgive me who is eating, I burst out laughing."

"Poor Sun Jian, I feel bad.jpg"
