Obviously tough.

Therefore, Yuan Xi does not plan to increase his strength in this regard.

this day.

He rode to Liyang.

Liyang has always been Hebei's naval base and shipbuilding base.

Ma Jun built the kamikaze battleship here, and Gan Ning was training the navy.

Yuan Xi found them and asked about the current situation.

Ma Jun first said: "We have been working hard to build the kamikaze battleship, and it is almost formed. The household department and the military administration department have supported us very much, and all the necessary materials, money and food have been approved in the fastest time, which is why we have made such progress. ”

"That's fine, I can't wait to see the Kamikaze, wait for you to take me to the river."

"Yes."

Ma Jun responded.

"Heungba, I'm here to learn about the situation on Jeju Island and the Shandong Peninsula, how is it there? Have you formed a water army? Yuan Xi looked at Gan Ning.

Gan Ning replied: "Jeju Island has formed a 5,000-scale naval army and is in the process of training. The Shandong Peninsula has just built a naval base, and it will take time. ”

Yuan Xi asked, "How many troops do you have in your hands now?" If I go to war with Sun Quan and Cao Cao, will you be able to defeat the naval armies of Jingzhou and Jiangdong? ”

"Yes!"

Gan Ning almost didn't think about it, and replied affirmatively.

"We have thirteen large warships, one hundred and twenty medium-sized warships, and three hundred small warships, all of which are located in Liyang, Qingzhou, and all parts of the Yellow Sea. There were 90,000 sailors, of which 30,000 were outstanding. The last general has the confidence to defeat five times or even ten times as many enemies! Gan Ning said that this is not a big word, although the Jiangdong naval army he commanded before was known to be invincible in the world, but the warship was simply in tatters compared with the Hebei naval army.

According to the strength of the current water army, Gan Ning feels that the Hebei water army is really invincible.

In terms of the number of steam engine warships, it was enough to make Cao Cao and Sun Quan bow their heads.

"It's good to have faith, but don't slack off."

"Yes."

Yuan Xi thought about it and instructed: "In the Yangzhou area, a naval army base should also be built, and I will send an order to Yangzhou Governor Yu Ban and the Ministry of Industry to start building a stable naval army camp." You pick the best men and go to garrison. Its purpose is obvious, one is to shock Sun Quan, and the other is to open up the road to Fucheng, so that our merchant ships can smoothly arrive at Fucheng and trade with Liu Bei. Three... Sooner or later, we will fight with Sun Quan and Cao Cao, and the Yangzhou Navy is very close to them, and they can be used as a vanguard in the future, and before they know it, occupy their vital places. ”

Gan Ning said: "The lord is right, we send the navy to Yangzhou early, which can paralyze Sun Quan and Cao Cao." If they send it again when the war comes, they will be very vigilant, and it will not be conducive to our surprise attack. ”

"The last general will prepare 20,000 sailors and transfer them to Yangzhou for defense."

"Hmm."

Yuan Xi looked at Gan Ning and admired his attitude very much.

Fortunately, he was recruited to Hebei, and fortunately, Sun Quan was stupid, otherwise he would have regretted it for the rest of his life. Relying only on Li Dian and Le Jin, no matter how powerful the commander of the naval army, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve a complete victory. When he was in Guangling, he was defeated once, and a large steam engine warship was captured by Gan Ning.

.......

chatted with Ma Chao for a while.

The three of them went to the Yellow River together.

The craftsmen are still at work.

In the distance, a huge warship towers over the river, like a castle. Although it has not yet been completed and there are no sea trials, it is conceivable that when he officially launched, the shock was unparalleled.

Being able to build such a battleship during the Three Kingdoms period is definitely of epoch-making significance.

"My lord, please see, the front end of the Kamikaze, which is three zhang high and one zhang thick, is completely warped, and it is not easy for the enemy to climb up. It's harder than attacking a city. On his left and right sides, I had a lot of slots for the equipment, so that when the kamikaze went into battle, a large number of weapons could be placed on this side and fired outwards... ”

"On the second floor of the battleship, there was a huge open space, which could accommodate fifty small thunderbolts, which threw canisters of fire oil on all sides, causing a wide area of damage. In the tail and middle of the battleship, archers can be placed, and the firing range is about 100 meters. After accurate calculations, in addition to all the equipment, coal, and facilities, it can also carry 1,500 soldiers. ”

After Ma Jun finished speaking, Yuan Xi frowned and said, "So little? ”

This was too unexpected for Yuan Xi.

Based on the size of the Kamikaze battleship, Yuan Xi thought it would carry tens of thousands of people.

But I didn't expect that there were only 1,500 people, which is not as good as large warships and medium warships.

Ma Jun replied: "My lord doesn't know, this kamikaze heavy battleship, his hull is made of multiple layers of iron sheets, the buoyancy is not large, excluding the weight of equipment, facilities, and coal, it can carry 1,500 people, which is already the limit." ”

"In this way, the Kamikaze is designed for combat. Not suitable for transporting goods and soldiers? ”

"Yes. But... If all the equipment and facilities are unloaded, it can carry an additional 2,000 people, which is about the same as a large warship. Ma Jundao.

"That's fine, in the future, I will build more large warships, and his uses are more extensive than the kamikaze. As for medium warships, the manufacture can be stopped.... ”

Ma Jun was stunned for a moment, and arched his hand: "Lord, the medium-sized warship has good stability and is fast to manufacture." It is the current mid-stream warship of the navy, why should it stop manufacturing? ”

"I know that medium-sized warships are stable and fast, but their combat effectiveness is not as good as that of Kamikaze and large warships. No matter how much you build, it's just a waste of manpower, material resources, and financial resources. It's better to keep those resources and go all out to build large warships. ”

Ma Jun was a little worried.

He knew that Yuan Xi was eager to increase his strength and prepare for the elimination of Cao Cao.

What if the manufacture of medium-sized warships was stopped, and it was difficult to manufacture large warships in large quantities1? Yuan Xi is urging the Ministry of Industry to manufacture every day, and it is necessary to know that the Ministry of Industry also has difficulties.

In order for this situation to occur in the future, Ma Jun advised: "My lord, stopping the manufacture of medium-sized warships now will make it difficult for our navy to develop rapidly." Didn't the lord want to transfer troops to Yangzhou, and if there were no large number of warships, how could he shock the enemy? The minister suggested that a hundred more medium-sized warships should be allocated, and that it would not be too late to stop manufacturing them when the construction of these hundred ships was completed. ”

"I didn't think it through just now, so let's do as you say." Yuan Xi changed his words again.

He only thought about saving materials just now, but he ignored the big battle with Cao Cao and Sun Quan in the near future.

............

Early March.

Jiang Wei, who went to Bingzhou, began the work of clearing out bandits.

He asked Ma Heng, the governor of the prefecture, to transfer 5,000 stone of grain from Jinyang, and 1,000 soldiers to escort him to the Hexi military camp. The road slowly soars, and its shortcomings are deliberately exposed.

It immediately attracted the attention of the bandits in the state.

In less than three days, thousands of people gathered in the mountains, all of whom were working on the idea of that batch of grain.

To know how many people can be fed by 5,000 stone of grain? It can make thousands of thieves and bandits not have to worry about food for a year.
