Yuan Shu didn't plan to make a move, but Cai Mao, who was wandering in the waters near the Southwest Kingdoms, was ready to move.

Since Yuan Shu took Jingzhou, his status has not declined much, and he is still the commander of the navy, holding tens of thousands of sailors, and now he is named General Anton. And he is the first family in Jingzhou, and his sister is Yuan Shu's favorite concubine, so her influence is not small.

But it was precisely because of this that he was hung high by Yuan Shu. On the surface, he has a lot of power, but in fact, he has not had the opportunity to lead the army for so long. is also the commander of the navy, Gan Ning's gang kills people everywhere, arsons, and wanton indulgence, even if Jiang Qin, the captain of the logistics brigade, gets involved with the caravan at sea, and there is no shortage of oil and water. And he has been under "house arrest" and in the Yangtze River, and the hero has been useless for several years.

Nowadays, sea ships are common in the military, river ships have generally been classified as civilian use, and it is not uncommon for caravans to have large merchant ships. It is said that the trade on the river is so frequent, Cai Mao should also be able to get oil and water. But in fact, this is not the case, and the premise of fishing for oil and water on the river is the existence of water bandits.

After all, Yuan Shu is so strong, the laws of Dachu are strict, and the regulatory departments are all over the country, who dares to take advantage of it openly? Especially for a powerful person like the Cai family, Yuan Shu stared more closely, and Cai Mao didn't dare to make the slightest move on his face. And secretly, these caravans have nothing to do with him, the commander of the naval army.

At the beginning, after Gan Ning and Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai defected, the water bandits in Yangzhou were directly plundered by this group of guys. In their eyes, the water bandits are the best seedlings of the water army, and they don't have to say that they are all watery and bloody, and with a little training and strict discipline, they are a strong army.

The same was true after the fall of Jingzhou and Yizhou. In addition, Yuan Shu vigorously rectified political affairs, and the people's lives were stable and peaceful, and even the bandits were about to disappear, not to mention the water bandits. After Gan Ning and Jiang Qin harvested a lot, the bandits in the entire Yangtze River almost disappeared, and the few small ones finally surrendered.

After all, when the life of a water bandit is not as good as that of a water army, who wants to do it? Not to mention being a sailor, eating well, living well, and having a good salary is not low, it is also a knife licking blood, and the safety is higher.

You must know that these bandits can escape the pursuit of Gan Ning and others. Not because of the strong combat power, but because of the small number of people and the weak combat power, usually only a few dozen people. It was troublesome to catch, but Gan Ning didn't bother to pay attention to it and let it go. And the caravan is also guarded, and it is not easy for these bandits to rob the caravan. Coupled with Dachu's strict household registration system and efficient administration, the internal water bandits and bandits have basically disappeared.

Therefore, Cai Mao, the commander of the naval army sitting on the Yangtze River, was actually an ornament to deter Cao Liu, who was located north of the Yangtze River at that time. has been idle for several years, and Cai Mao is suffocated.

And now that he was finally freed, he was sent by Yuan Shu to the sea area near the southwest countries, but his duty was only to act as the captain of the logistics brigade like Jiang Qin and transport supplies, Cai Mao was really suffocated.

With such a behemoth as Guishuang by his side, how could Cai Mao endure it. But fortunately, this guy is still more stable than Gan Ning, and knowing that Yuan Shu attaches great importance to this, he doesn't dare to be too nonsense. If the movement is too big and causes Guishuang's reaction, he will die a hundred deaths.

In the absence of a unified Han, rashly provoking the other side will only make them wary and increase the difficulty of future conquest. Cai Mao didn't dare to challenge Yuan Shu's patience, if he really caused an accident, for Cai Yi's sake, he might not die, but he probably didn't have anything to do with power in this life. It will also cause public indignation among the family, and even the Cai family is in danger of overturning.

However, it can't be provoked openly, but it doesn't mean that it can't be tempted secretly. The Han Dynasty has always traded with the Kushan, or the Guishan actually made their fortune on the Silk Road between the Han Dynasty and Rome. Among them, there is an endless stream of businessmen, and of course, they have basically been replaced by Yuan Shu now with the family and his own people.

Ordinary businessmen now Yuan Shu didn't dare to send them out at all. The businessman is very profitable, and it would be bad if he was tempted or didn't know how to inform Guishuang of Da Chu's current movements and situation, which aroused the vigilance of the other party.

And the family is now firmly tied to their chariot by Yuan Shu, and they are still counting on the capture of Guishan as a feudal state, they are even more nervous and cautious than Yuan Shu, and any threat will be strangled by them in advance. Cai Mao's Cai family naturally sent people there, and even befriended a general of the navy through money. Of course, he is not a top commander, that is, a young general with two or three thousand sailors. And for the sake of insurance, the people sent by the Cai family still drove as poisoners.

With this, the Cai family can be regarded as breaking into the interior of the Guishan Water Army and listening to a lot of fiction and reality. The Guishan army is about 800,000, including more than 200,000 sailors, but the specific combat strength is unknown, after all, the Guishan navy has always played a similar role to Jiang Qin, which is to ensure maritime trade. There are not many large-scale combat records, and they are basically conscription and suppression of water bandits. However, what has been learned is that Guishan's shipbuilding level is very good, and it is faintly stronger than the current Dachu.

Cai Mao immediately wanted to buy some warships from the naval general through a merchant to study. Although the management of the Guishan is relatively loose, it is a regular army after all. Cai Mao struggled to seize some small and medium-sized half-used and dilapidated warships, while none of the large and giant warships in the core were successful.

But with this, he can be regarded as a great contribution. Although the shipbuilding level of Guishan and Dahan is about the same, the direction is very different.

In the Han Dynasty, water warfare was heavy bow and crossbow shooting, and broadside warfare, so the warships pursued balance, and they were fully loaded with bed crossbows, trebuchets and other long-range combat equipment. However, Guishan's warships pursued collision force and broadside battles, just like Gan Ning's way of fighting against Yuan Shao's navy, so the size of the warship was very large and the speed was also relatively fast. Its largest warship is more than twice as large as Da Chu's, which is the existence that makes Cai Mao the most coveted.

"If I can get the manufacturing technology of such a warship, how can Gan Xingba be my opponent in the future!" Cai Mao said excitedly in her heart.

His Legion Talent is extremely dependent on the size of the ship, and if the size of the ship can be doubled like Kushan's, his Legion Talent can be increased by several percent. However, unless Gan Ning adopts guerrilla tactics, he will be absolutely invincible if he is tough on the front.

Cai Mao, who coveted Guishuang's large and giant warship, finally couldn't bear it anymore and was ready to do it.

He didn't dare to fight the giant warship, it was only a big battle with more than 10,000 people in Guishan. Unless a large army is dispatched, he can't be defeated at all, but he can plan a large warship.
