Chapter 435: A little understanding
"Mahan?" Chen Mo remembers some of this, he has read in the history books, when the Yan King Lu Xuanbu General Wei Man led a thousand people into the land of Sanhan, overthrew the dynasty established by Jizi at that time, and quickly established his own small court, and later Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty felt that Wei Man's small court was a great threat to the Central Plains, so he waved his troops to destroy Wei Man, and then set up four counties of Lelang, Xuansu, Zhenfan, and Lintun in this place, and the establishment of the four counties also forced the locals to continue to move south, the so-called three Hans, in fact, it is similar to the situation of tribal alliances. Chen Mo remembered that it was composed of three major tribes, Mahan, Chenhan and Benhan, which were somewhat similar to the grassland tribes such as the Xiongnu and Korea, but they seemed to have been influenced by Chinese culture and had some changes, but they had not become too thorough.
"Yes, according to some news I have heard so far, there are many tribes in the land of Sanhan who make a living from Haikou, and I think that I can use Sanhan to train a naval army, as for the land of Sanhan, if my Han naval army can be expanded, I can set up a separate county here, supplemented by education, and I can explore a broader sea area in the future." Liu Yi nodded.
"You know that?" Chen Mo looked at Liu Yi and smiled.
"I understand a little, I understand a little, in Wollongong, there is a master, I have known the minister since childhood, and he has been assigned by him, and the minister has also learned some strategies, but it is difficult to take on a big job." Liu Yi said with a smile.
"Very good." Chen Mo nodded and said, "How far is it?" ”
"If you take the sea route, it is about more than a thousand miles, and if there is not much wind and waves, at the speed of a new ship, it can be reached in three days at most, but if the weather is bad, it may take half a month." Liu Yi said with a smile.
"Thousands of miles away, even half a moon is not slow." Chen Mo was keenly aware that if this sea route was thoroughly studied, it seemed to be far faster than the land route, but there were risks: "In this way, Yu Sheng has always been cautious in doing things, let him decide this matter, if he thinks it is appropriate, he will take the land of the three Hans, plus the previous four counties of the Han Dynasty, and merge them into one county, and the imperial court will send people to govern it." ”
"Whoa!" Liu Yi smiled and nodded.
"You said that if you start a war with Jiangdong at this time, you have a chance of winning?" Chen Mo is obviously not too concerned about the land of Sanhan, at most he just takes a piece of land, as far as Chen Mo knows, this land of Sanhan has no mineral veins, and the land is not fertile, and it is useless to get it, if it is not for a major breakthrough on the sea ship, and a place for military training, Chen Mo will not think about capturing the land of Sanhan, and now he is more concerned about the battle of Jiangdong, and the Jiangdong naval army is the real trouble.
"The minister has not been taught, dare not win, the shipbuilding process here has been formed, as long as the lord does not want such a huge ship, the rest of the ships, the craftsmen can deal with it, the minister wants to go to Jiangdong and take it away, I implore the lord to agree." Liu Yi smiled.
"It's okay, it just so happens that my son Chen Zheng is now the Taishou of Jiujiang, if Bo Yuan is willing, you can go to him first and discuss this matter with him." Chen Mo nodded, as long as someone can build a ship.
Because Chen Mo directly got the way to build the keel ship from the dream, so for Jiangdong's shipbuilding method, Chen Mo has never learned it, but he thinks it shouldn't be too bad, now that the keel ship has been built, Liu Yi wants to learn about Jiangdong's shipbuilding skills, Chen Mo naturally agreed, knowing that the other side can win a hundred battles.
"Bo Yuan don't be in a hurry, even if there is a war, it will be to take Jingzhou first, and whether it will go east or west at that time has not yet been determined." Chen Mo smiled.
"I understand." Liu Yi accompanied Chen Mo to walk around the shipyard again, in addition to the unfinished giant ships, there were more than ten small boats parked in the harbor, of course, these small boats are also compared to giant arrows, in fact, even these small boats are more than three zhang long, one zhang wide, the kind of ship that can live in it, but compared to the giant ship, this ship is much more intuitive, Chen Mo entered the cabin, let people drive the boat to swim on the beach, not to mention that they can't feel the tumbling at all, but the boat is indeed very stable, even if it is not seasickness, More comfortable than in a horse-drawn carriage.
More than ten miles north of the shipyard, there is also a naval academy, which has hundreds of flatbed boats, allowing the soldiers to train fighting and archery on it.
Looking at Dian Wei, who was holding the tree and vomiting, Chen Mo was sure of one thing, this Dian Wei was not suitable for water fights.
"Because the shipbuilding skills that the minister knows now are mostly based on flat boats, so the training of the navy is also trained on this flat boat, and now General Yu Sheng commands 20,000 sailors who have been trained and water warfare, and there are 5,000 sailors composed of fishermen recruited from all over the world in the past two years, and the training has not yet been completed, and General Yu Sheng wants to wait for the training to be completed, and he is ready to take them to the land of Sanhan to find the water Kou to try." Liu Yi accompanied Chen Mo and pointed to the soldiers training in the sea from time to time.
"I don't know what I'm going to do to complete my training?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.
"According to the battle strategy of the main public water army, if you can fully understand the flag, understand the drum and horn, can operate the ship, and can gather the ship into a formation according to the flag within a quarter of an hour, it is considered qualified, in addition, General Yu Sheng added two more." Chen Jin said with a smile.
"Oh?" Chen Mo said curiously: "Tell me in detail." ”
"It's not difficult, you can't miss the target within twenty paces of archery, you can find the enemy on the ship and engage it." Yu Sheng said with a smile.
"Twenty steps without missing the target!?" Chen Mo didn't speak, and Dian Wei on the side shouted disdainfully: "Within fifty steps, a certain can hit the bull's-eye." ”
"General Dian doesn't know, this water battle is different from foot combat, it is not difficult for you to shoot fifty steps on the ground, but on this sampan, it is not easy to take twenty steps without missing the target, General Dian will know it as soon as he tries it." Liu Yi said with a smile.
"I don't try." Dian Wei's head shook again and again, he didn't feel anything on the giant ship before, but on that flat boat, he really realized what it means to have no way to go to the sky and no door to the ground.
"I'll try!" Chen Mo smiled, took the bow and arrow from the hand of a soldier, and jumped onto a sampan.
The body continued to shake with the ship, and the wind and waves at the sea were not too big at the moment, and the shaking amplitude was not too high.
Quietly experiencing the shaking of the ship's plank, staring at the arrow target that was also shaking twenty steps away, many sailors and soldiers around looked over, although Chen Mo has rarely made another move over the years, but it is rumored in the army that Chen Mo is one of the world's sharpshooters, but I don't know if it is the same on this sea?
"Whoosh~" bends the bow and arrow, and then shoots quickly.
"Bang~"
The cluster of arrows was shot on the target, and the surrounding soldiers immediately burst into applause, although they failed to hit the bull's-eye, but it was not easy to shoot arrows in this environment for the first time.
Chen Mo didn't respond, frowned and looked at the arrow target, silently watching the law in it, at a certain moment, another arrow was shot, but this time, it was right in the bull's-eye.
"Good~" In a series of cheers, many soldiers were stunned, and an arrow hit the bull's-eye on the undulating ship, which was not low.
"Fifty steps!" Chen Mo looked at the fifty-step arrow target in the distance, stretched his bow and set up an arrow, followed by another arrow, and the fifty-step arrow target was also in the bull's eye.
This time, no one applauded, one by one looked blankly at Chen Mo who began to look at the hundred-step arrow target on the ship, this kind of arrow target, even if it is on the ground, may not be able to shoot, or even shoot, the lack of strength is not good at all, and many people even hold their breath.
"Bang~" was shot out again, hitting the bull's-eye.
Chen Mo smiled, the scene was silent for a long time, and only then suddenly burst into applause, he was really stunned by Chen Mo's archery skills.
"The lord shoots the gods, and it is really the only one I have seen in Yi's life!" Chen Mo returned to the shore, and Liu Yi hurriedly caught up, bowed down and smiled.
"My head is a little dizzy~" Chen Mo shook his head, although he went ashore, he felt that his body was still shaking.
Liu Yi hurriedly sat down with Dian Wei to help Chen Mo sit down, and after a long time, Chen Mo recovered from that feeling, shook his head and smiled: "These three arrows are more difficult than me shooting three hundred arrows on land." Chen Mo shook his head and sighed.
To adapt to the frequency of the shaking of his ship, calculate the frequency of the shaking of the ship where the arrow target is located, and also consider the wind speed, the seemingly simple three arrows can cost more than ten times more than on land than on land, and Chen Mo has had the experience of a dream battlefield, if he is an ordinary shooter, he is at the same level as Chen Mo, and he has not experienced a water war, I am afraid he will not be able to do this.
"With just this hand, the lord is already stronger than everyone in the entire water army." Liu Yi sighed with a smile.
"Bo Yuan seems to know a lot about this water war." Chen Mo looked at Liu Yi and suddenly asked.
"General Yu Sheng didn't know much about ships when they came, and they have been discussing with the generals below, and after a long time, they can naturally understand a little more." Liu Yi shook his head and smiled.
"I don't think I just understand it." Chen Mo stood up, looked at Liu Yi and said, "From the naval drill, to how to fight, and the cooperation of the ships, you know better than everyone else." ”
Others may not be able to feel it, but Chen Mo has had more than ten years of experience in water warfare on the dream battlefield, and Liu Yi can point to the key point in almost every sentence, if you understand it slightly, there may be few people in the world who can understand water warfare, including him Chen Mo.
As for the cooperation of the ships, these ships are designed and built by the ministers, why they are built and the performance of the ships, I am afraid that no one understands better than the ministers, but if it is really a war, the ministers really don't know anything." Liu Yi said humbly.
"In this way, you don't have to go to Jiujiang first, Yu Sheng is back this time, go to Sanhan, you go to battle with the army, and lead a team alone, and Lone will also accompany you this time, this giant ship will be built as soon as possible, and I will see if you understand a little bit or really understand a little bit." Chen Mo waved his hand and said with a smile, he felt that the commander of the naval army had been found.
"This ...... You can give it a try. Liu Yi nodded.
"Bring your lady with you, she can help you calm the hearts of the army." Chen Mo smiled.
"Whoa!"
