It is not easy to build a bridge over the Yellow River, it will take years of exploration, then design, and finally construction. Once there is a problem in a certain link, there is no need to think about it, and the Yellow River will be destroyed directly after an impact.

Luo Chengxian deeply understands that once the Yellow River Bridge he built cannot withstand the impact of the Yellow River, then he, the chief of the railway department, is estimated to have done it, and maybe his family will be involved, and he will become a villain in the eyes of others in the future, and he will never be able to raise his head in front of others.

Luo Chengxian was very cautious, he summoned many craftsmen in the science and technology park to explore the Yellow River, find a suitable place to build the bridge, and also specially found a lot of people to build the Yellow River bridge for design.

Such a huge bridge has never been built in ancient times, and everyone seems to be at a loss, so Luo Chengxian built a small bridge first, and then gradually increased its size and experience. For this reason, a lot of new bridges have appeared on the rivers around Luoyang, which is a good thing for the local people.

"Lord Wang, we still need a large number of craftsmen, the Yellow River Bridge is difficult to build, and our subordinates have mobilized eighty percent of the craftsmen in the Science and Technology Institute, but these craftsmen still can't meet the demand. Unlike other river bridges, the Yellow River has a lot of sediment and more silt than other rivers, making it very difficult to establish a solid foundation. So my lord, I'm afraid it will take us a few years to build this bridge. Luo Chengxian didn't think about it, so he promised Liu Xia that it would be able to be built very wide.

"My subordinates have never built such a big bridge, so we are accumulating experience, please give us time, we will definitely build a strong and durable bridge for the prince."

Liu Xia naturally knew the difficulty of building the Yellow River Bridge, so he nodded and said, "The king you said also understands." In this way, what kind of craftsmen do you need, how much do you need to call as much as possible, and you must build the Yellow River Bridge. This king gives you enough time to try, starting with the small bridge and slowly building it. ”

"Although the Yellow River has more sediment than other rivers, I believe that this problem will be solved by your Academy of Science and Technology."

Under Liu Xia's appeasement, Luo Chengxian had some confidence again.

After sending Luo Chengxian away, Liu Xia listened to the report about the navy again, and after these days, Jiaozhou Shipyard requisitioned a large number of personnel and began to build treasure ships overtime. Two have already been launched.

According to the opportunity, ten ships were to be built, and once the treasure ships were built, it was time to launch a general attack on the Qing army.

"The pace of building treasure ships still needs to be accelerated, and we don't have that much spare time. Once the northern Tartars have recovered, it will not be so easy for us to annihilate them again. At the same time, he gave Zhang Yuan, the commander of the White Tiger Legion, and asked him to let the soldiers constantly try to move on the deck to ensure that the soldiers could adapt to life on the ship. ”

The White Tiger Legion, as a vanguard legion, must need to be transported by ship to enter Liaodong from the Bohai Sea, if the soldiers are seasick on the ship and cause low combat effectiveness, it will be really fatal, and it should be explained that there may be a large number of enemies in the place where they disembark, so it must be ensured that there are soldiers who can fight at all times.

"Let Yu Mingjun strengthen the training of the navy, and send a few warships to Songjiang and enter the Yangtze River, now the north of the Yangtze River is under our control, and we are not afraid of his Wu Sangui sneak attack. If you encounter Wu Sangui's army, destroy it as much as possible. If even Wu Sangui's navy can't solve it, then there is no need for this navy to exist. ”

Indeed, the navy has poured a lot of energy and money into Liu Xia, and it has been a few years, if even Wu Sangui's third-rate miscellaneous sailors can't handle it, then there is basically no meaning in existing.

Wu Sangui can't be called a water army at all, and he has no technical content at all. can only bully the Kuiwolf Legion, which doesn't even have a ship.

Immediately, Liu Xia told Ma Peng of the Kuiwolf Legion, letting him know in advance that the Navy would send two warships to support them.

After Ma Peng got the news, he immediately summoned his generals and assigned them tasks, once the naval warships arrived and wiped out Wu Sangui's naval army, they did not have to worry about being attacked when crossing the Yangtze River.

"Commander, is this naval army reliable? Here's what two warships can do. Wu Sangui's warships also have more than 20 warships, and even if the warships are iron, it is unlikely that they can defeat Wu Sangui's navy. ”

I only heard another general say: "I can't say that, the warships used by Wu Sangui's naval army are actually not much larger than fishing boats, but their men and horses are all good water people, and they are not afraid of bumps in fighting on the river, I heard that our warships are all very large, and there are cannonballs installed on them, and it is easy to annihilate Wu Sangui's naval army." ”

Then in the conference room, the generals began to mess up. But in any case, it was sure when the warship arrived.

Ma Peng said: "Once the warship comes, it is bound to need a water village, otherwise the warship will have no place to place." Mu Ming, you will lead the soldiers of the Heavenly Wolf Guard, and then find a few craftsmen to find a suitable place to build a water village. ”

Since Lei Ming left the Sky Wolf Guard, he Mu Ming has been the commander of the Sky Wolf Guard, and now most of the main guard brigade commanders of the Kui Wolf Legion are guarding along the Yangtze River with Ma Peng. In order to prevent Wu Sangui's army from suddenly attacking Jiangbei, Ma Peng did not dare to be careless for a moment.

Yu Mingjun of Jiaozhou got Liu Xia's transfer order, and hurriedly convened a meeting to discuss the candidates for this time, Yu Mingjun knew that this time to send troops to deal with Wu Sangui was Liu Xia's test for them, if the test could not be completed, the status of their navy would plummet, even if Liu Xia did not cancel the existence of the navy, he was bound to meet Mingjun, the governor of the navy, and he would not be able to do it.

"According to the prince's request, the prince asked us to send two warships in the past, and the shipyard happened to deliver a new ironclad ship to us a few days ago, and the general plans to send this ironclad ship. In addition, a regular wooden sailing ship [Jiaozhou] was dispatched. ”

The newly delivered battleship to Yu Mingjun was smaller than the previous [Zhenyuan], but it was also forty or fifty meters long. It was also driven by a steam engine, and the guns on both sides of the hull were extraordinary. This battleship does not have a name yet, but Yu Mingjun has already thought of a name for him, and the name is called [Jianwu] has been given to Liu Xia, and he can use it after waiting for Liu Xia's approval.

The [Jianwu] warship can be loaded with the strength of a battalion, the level is regimental, and the last [Zhenyuan] is the guard level.

Choosing the right manpower is the key, and now that the ship has been chosen, the next step is to start selecting the manpower. As the commander-in-chief of the North Sea Fleet of the Navy Army, Bai Menghu naturally couldn't go, so the task needed to be handed over to the personnel of the White Shark Guard. The White Shark Guard is one of the strongest fighting armies in the navy.

"Li Dabai, the deputy commander of the White Shark Guard, serves as the commander of the [Jianwu] ship, leading the soldiers and horses of the Second Battalion of the White Shark Guard to the Yangtze River, and it is necessary to show the majesty of our naval army." Yu Mingjun finally handed over this military order to the deputy commander of the White Shark Guard, and the level of the deputy commander happened to be at the regimental level, which coincided with the [Jianwu].

"Everyone is watching our battle against Wu Sangui's naval army this time, we can only win but not lose, once defeated, we will be greeted by the disgust and ridicule of hundreds of people, as well as the loss of the support of the prince. This battle was our first real action against the enemy. "Yu Mingjun is right, although the White Shark Guard has also exterminated a lot of pirates before, but those are not regular troops, and no one cares about a pirate.

But this time it was different, this was Wu Sangui's regular army, and if Wu Sangui's regular army could be defeated, the name of their navy army would definitely be on the front pages of major newspapers, thus causing greater influence among the people. When the time comes, Yu Mingjun will go to Liu Xia to ask for military expenses for the navy, and there will be no need for those armies to be despised in private.

The most uncomfortable thing about Yu Mingjun is the contempt of those soldiers, how insulted he has been so insulted by Yu Mingjun, although no one dares to talk about it in front of him, but he is already very unhappy.
