"Your Majesty, this ship was built to dominate the sea, and there are two warships launched at the same time, which are not yet famous, please give your Majesty a name!"
Gan Ning bowed forward, his face was full of solemnity, but he was very proud in his heart, his vision was already a sea of stars, and these people were still staring at the little Yangtze River.
"Two more? If you build a naval army composed entirely of such giant ships, wouldn't it be the best in the ocean! โ
Cao Cao's breath was a little short, if there was such a fleet, the world would not be able to go anywhere.
The ocean that Ning Rong told himself back then will no longer be a dream!
"Uh......"
Gan Ning was a little embarrassed when he heard Cao Cao's words, he was worthy of being his own emperor, and this open-mindedness was not comparable to himself.
"General Gan, I'm afraid the cost of such a giant ship won't be low, right?"
It was only the drama that saw the fame and stepped forward to relieve the siege.
"Military advisor Gao Jian, Your Majesty, this giant ship is made of more than 200 pieces of wood from a hundred years old, the iron cladding weighs thousands of catties, and the rest of the nails, machine brackets, even buckles, mast sails, etc., are countless, and the total cost is about 200,000 taels of silver!"
"Hiss......"
Gan Ning's words made everyone gasp, this thing is really burning money!
In recent years, the imperial court encouraged Tuntian and supported commerce, but the annual tax was only more than three hundred taels of silver, and one-fifth of these three giant ships were used.
No wonder, in a rich place like Huainan, the taxes for more than ten years have not improved, and they have all been eaten by this guy.
"Hmmm......"
Cao Cao suddenly remembered that Ning Rong had indeed told him that he needed to take the taxes from Huainan to build a water master, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.
At that time, he just thought that Huainan bordered Jiangdong, which was considered an area for war prevention, and the taxes would naturally not be too high, but he didn't expect to create such three giants.
"General Gan's warship is enough to gallop the sea, but if you refuse to know, the bigger the battleship, right?"
Cao Ang raised his doubts, when he was taught by his master, he knew that there was a more powerful ship, although small, but it was faster than Pegasus.
"What His Highness said is very true, the main ship of the naval battle is naturally huge and strong, but if the entire warship is like this, it will give the enemy a chance to take advantage of it!
Therefore, the formation of a fleet requires not only capital ships, but also auxiliary ships, cruisers, and fast ships!
Since the last general was ordered by His Majesty to build a sea warship, he has decided to use these three warships as the mainstay, supplemented by the Fire Dragon Ship, the Red Dragon Ship, the Haicang Ship, and the Light Ke Ship!
The fire dragon ship and the red dragon ship are equipped with firearms such as fierce fire oil, while the Haicang ship is full of light crossbows and other things, and the light Ke ship is based on speed, interspersed with the ...... between the entire fleet."
Speaking of the fleet he built with his own hands, Gan Ning talked eloquently, after all, no one was more familiar with him than him.
"And the five-toothed giant ship?"
Chen Qun listened for a long time, but he didn't hear the whereabouts of the five-toothed giant ship under his feet.
"In the future, this five-tooth giant ship can still assume the responsibility of transporting grain, grass, salt and iron!"
Gan Ning said with a nonchalant face, but the fluttering words suffocated everyone.
Only...... Is this kind of giant ship that is enough to dominate the world only be reduced to transporting grain and grass in the end?
"Your Majesty, such a huge ship is the fortune of the country, and it should not be easily moved, and it should be handed over to the lieutenant as His Majesty's water palace!"
Chen Qun suddenly stepped forward and admonished Cao Cao.
How could such a powerful warship be handed over to Commander Gan Ning.
Not bad!
Cao Cao nodded silently, such an important weapon of the country, he naturally chose his confidants.
"Your Majesty!"
Gan Ning's face was a little anxious, he didn't expect Chen Qun to be so hateful, could it be that such a treasure ship would have to shrink on the river in the future?
"These three giant ships are the important weapons of the country, so let's call them lucky ships!"
Cao Cao said noncommittally to everyone, some things are considered acquiescence if they don't speak.
"Gan Ning has made meritorious contributions to building warships, sealing the town of Haihou, and adding General Suiyuan, as for this fleet, it is the East China Sea Division, and it is under the command of the Northern Ya!"
Cao Cao's words, the East China Sea Division became the Northern Ya Forbidden Army, and being able to command the Northern Ya Forbidden Army means a confidant general.
Gan Ning lowered his head in some disappointment, this was not what he wanted.
Although he didn't want his colleagues to look down on him, he wanted to rely on military merits to make a marquis, and he wanted to command the fleet to gallop the sea.
However......
Cao Cao's majesty was irresistible, and he had to stare at Chen Qun fiercely.
Really!
There will be such a traitorous villain in any dynasty and in every generation!
"Ahem!"
Chen Qun naturally didn't care, he gave Cao Cao an audience for the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, intending to seek for the world's family.
But Cao Cao finally chose Ning Rong's imperial examination system, although at first it was a joint boycott by the family, but what happened in the end? It's not that it has been suppressed by Ning Rong's iron fist.
No way!
The future of their family is not in the crown prince, but in Cao Pi, the king of Zhao.
"Father, will General Gan's reward be too heavy? After all, I can't get the feudal marquis without military merit? โ
Cao Ang stood beside Cao Cao, glanced at Chen Qun, and saw the other party's proud appearance, but suddenly remembered the master's explanation before leaving, if everything changes, Your Majesty must not lose it.
"What?"
Cao Ang's words made everyone confused for a while, who didn't know that this was Cao Cao's compensation for comforting Gan Ning. "What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is very true, it is the wish of the man to worship the marquis, but the dynasty has its own law, if the marquis are so casual, then the glory of the generals is not too worthless? What's more, if it goes on like this for a long time, who is willing to fight
Fight the enemy! โ
Lu Xun naturally saw Chen Qun's ill intentions, these families were vying for power and profit, and they obviously regarded Gan Ning as their own person.
"Your Majesty, what the crown prince and Lu Xun said is reasonable!"
And just when Cao Cao's face was gloomy and he wanted to be angry, Xi Zhicai's words made him hold back his anger.
"Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, it is better to let General Gan continue to lead the East China Sea Division, after all, there are too few people in our Great Wei Dynasty who are proficient in water warfare like General Gan!
As for the problem of the control of the Northern Ya Forbidden Army, it is naturally easy to solve, and let the Southern Ya take back General Gan's seal letter talisman and other things, and then distribute them by the Northern Ya Forbidden Army, wouldn't it be a great good! โ
Hearing Xi Zhicai's words, Cao Cao silently calmed down.
Let Gan Ning be under the command of the forbidden army, which means that he must become his confidant.
But......
Glancing at Gan Ning's longing eyes, Cao Cao had some ideas.
"That's great!"
Cao Cao nodded slowly, a smile on his face, and he was confident that he could make this water titan a lonely minister.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Gan Ning was overjoyed when he heard this, although he was no longer a person from Nanya, he was already very happy to be able to let him continue to lead the East China Sea Division, but he was just ......
"Congratulations to General Gan!" Lu Xun received Gan Ning's eyes, and naturally knew what he was worried about, so he took the first step to congratulate.
