Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 293 Branch Port
"The Four Jian'an Sabers...could it be that there are four types of sabers?" Gongsun Gong asked in a hoarse voice.

Hearing this, Gongsun Kang looked at his second brother with dissatisfaction - he was so weak when talking to the "enemy"!

"No, it was developed in the fourth year of Jian'an and started to be equipped with the whole army, so it is called 'Jian'an [-]'. When our Jian'an [-] and Jian'an [-] appear, Jian'an [-] will not be unsaleable." Gan Ning explained with a smile. , did not show any abnormality at all because of Gongsun Gong's abnormality.

There is no clue that this is the person who kicked the nose in the face before...

"Haha, let's take a look first." Gongsun Kang sneered.

In his opinion, Gan Ning was a bit cryptic. After all, according to Gongsun Kang's common sense, military weapons were at most the level of the Han sword that Gan Ning had shown before.

More sophisticated weapons can no longer be mass-produced. They can only be slowly crafted by hand by blacksmiths or even famous craftsmen who spend their time and effort...

When the time comes, [-] troops will need hundreds of thousands of blacksmiths, right?
However, the performance of Jian'an IV really surprised the Gongsun clan and the warriors of Liaodong!
Dang, dang, dang - the Jian'an Fourth Army Sword was very powerful, cutting off three or four Han knives!

Gan Ning's face was calm as he accepted the surprised looks from others, but silently kept Jian'an Si's performance in Liaodong in mind.

really……

Because of the cold weather, the difference in texture between the Jian'an Si and the ordinary Han knives has been reduced with a thinner blade!
Normally speaking, the Jian'an Four should be able to cut through at least five, and as many as seven or eight Han swords.

The experimental mechanism of the Ministry of Industry obviously did not consider the weather in Liaodong. After all, the main scope of activities of the General Mansion was still the warm Yangzhou.

But even so, Jian'an IV's performance is already amazing enough.

"Jian'an Fourth...is it that the General Mansion equips the entire army?" Gongsun Du asked as quietly as possible.

"Yes, but don't worry, brother Gongsun, my soldiers all have two swords and one spare... Brother Gongsun and I are so loyal, I can't be stingy, I will give you the spare sword of the soldiers!" Gan Ning said seemingly proudly.

Gan Ning had also secretly changed the concept in his words before - he was "starting" to equip the entire army, not that it was already fully equipped. His navy was limitedly rationed, so there were Jian'an IVs!

But to Gongsun Du, it sounded like the General's 10,000+ troops all had this kind of sword...

"Haha, that's right... Of course I am loyal. According to what Governor Gan said, the port of Dajin will be handed over to the General's Office. However, Liaokou... I don't have to worry about the General's Office. We, Liaodong, will build a stronghold and build a port. The General's Mansion is willing to assist us and change boats in Dajin to transport goods to Liaokou, we naturally welcome it." Gongsun Du said calmly.

Gan Ning also understood what he meant - Dajin can be given to the General's Mansion, but Liaokou... The Gongsun family will build a water village by themselves, and then welcome the small transport ships from the General's Mansion. As for the big ships and warships... haha, roll!
And after knowing the strength of the ships in the General's Mansion, Gongsun could no longer be "lazy". Regardless of whether Liaokou was useful to him or not, it must be built now and a cordon must be built.

"Oh? You really don't need us to build a port? Brother Gongsun is still so polite... What about Andongjin? It should be easier for people from Fuyu and Goguryeo to trade there, right?" Gan Ning acquiesced to Tajin and Liaokou. divide.

Anyway, Tajin is his most fundamental goal.

Dajin is located at the southernmost tip of the Liaodong Peninsula, almost alone in the sea. Whether it is from Xiangping to Dajin or from Dajin to Xiangping, it is not easy.

In terms of strategic thinking in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was similar to the "Stone Road" on the Wancheng side. It was very difficult whether going south to north or north to south, so generally both sides could ignore it.

However, from the perspective of maritime warfare, Dajin is the only port that does not freeze in winter and is surrounded by mountains on three sides. It is not only easy to defend but difficult to attack, but also can ensure the safety of large warships in stormy weather. It is definitely a must-win naval battle. land.

For example, at the end of the year and when the wind is strong, Tajin is undoubtedly the most suitable place to stop.

In modern times, the island countries and the Mao Kingdom had to ensure their troops were stationed here before encroaching on the Northeast. No matter how much the international community condemned them, they had to do so...

As a naval commander, Gan Ning, who had read several military books that were very different from current thinking, naturally understood the importance of Tajin.

"Oh, Antonjin certainly doesn't bother the General's Mansion, but it's okay if the General's Mansion goes to trade." Gongsun Du said with a flash of his eyes.

Antonjin also had to be built to collect taxes, but for Antonjin, there was no need to defend it as tightly as Liaokou. Even if a large ship occasionally docked at the General's Mansion, Gongsun Du didn't care.

If we land from Andongjin, we will not only be unable to threaten Liaodong, but we will also face a pincer attack from Liaodong and Buyeo people!
"I think the first batch of swords, armor, and food can be settled with the wood and stones near Dajin." Gongsun Du said without blushing or heartbeat.

If Gan Ning wants to build a port, wood and stone are indispensable, but in the northwest of Dajin, there is a continuous mountain forest, and there is no shortage of these.

Well... in Gongsun's eyes, the wood and stones in Liaodong are also named Gongsun!

Gongsun Du really didn't believe that Gan Ning would transport materials from Huzhou.

"Oh? Then we need to talk about this collection area carefully." Gan Ning said it was a collection area, but everyone knows that after this "collection", people may not leave!

However, Gongsundu reacted indifferently to this. After all...the southeastern part of Liaoning Province, which stretches out into the sea, is originally sparsely populated and has no big cities. No matter whether Gan Ning takes one step more or one step less, it does not affect Gongsundu's position in the hills of the north. Zone defense.

Of course, if Gan Ning really dared to pull people over in groups, Gongsun Du would definitely drive them back to the sea!

In Gongsun Du's mind, the only landing point to Xiangping was Liaokou.

After some negotiations, both sides got what they needed, and Gan Ning left two-thirds of his fleet behind to build a port in Dajin.

Among the remaining generals, in addition to Gan Ning's old subordinates, there was another person who was relatively "unfamiliar" - Ling Tong, who was originally under Sun Ce!
Gan Ning didn't know if he had a quarrel with Sun Ce and actually asked to be transferred to the navy, but...since the wind-catching guards didn't have any objections, it proved that there was nothing wrong with him.

Even though he was a "face-to-face" person, he had already been familiar with him on the sea for half a year. Gan Ning's impression of him was not bad. Moreover, Ling Tongyi told Gan Ning when he entered the navy that he was going to the most dangerous and dangerous place. Task……

In fact, the overall mission of the navy is dangerous enough, even if there are no enemies... Which voyage does not involve sinking a few ships?

After all, it is still in the exploration stage, and the sailors are also summing up their experiences and integrating what they have learned.

Staying in Liaodong this time is even more dangerous among dangers.

Although from a rational analysis, Gongsun would not betray the alliance, but... what if his brain freezes?

Of course, when Gan Ning goes back, he will also prepare a way out for these people. The armor he "sold" to the Gongsun family before was not all of the goods.

Gan Ning plans to stay in Liaodong until it gets warmer. The wind and waves are also strong when going to sea in winter. During this period, Gan Ning will not sail far, but will just hang around nearby. After the spring flowers bloom, he will see if there is an opportunity to go to Qingzhou or Xuzhou...
