Yangtze River Lu family.

Lu Xun also heard the Zhen family answer to the question, and he was a little sluggish for a while.

"Zhen Mi of the Zhen family, it's strange that you have to look for Liu Ziang in Qingzhou, how can the young lady of the family come out so easily", Lu Xun muttered to himself.

Lu Xun was lying on the boat, drifting on the Yangtze River, of course, followed by some people who were ready to salvage him at all times, otherwise Lu Xun would not be able to swim up if he fell into the Yangtze River.

Lying on the boat, swaying and driving, his sister has been found, Zhen Mi of the Zhen family, the current age is only a teenager, and there are still a few years of stable time, don't worry that Zhen Mi will get married, just waiting to defect to Sun Ce, swept the Yangtze River, and will have face to see his sister in the future.

"Someone, pick me up on the boat", Lu Xun got up and shouted to the back.

"Young master, aren't you lying down in the sun?" , a villain came over with the boat, picked up Lu Xun on the boat, and said as he walked.

Lu Xun climbed onto the big ship, well, how big is it, it is smaller than the ships of later generations, Lu Xun's research results in the past few years are the big ship under his feet.

Mechanical braking, gear power, more than twice as fast as the previous ships, Lu Xun believes that with the existence of these ships, Sun Ce will definitely be able to strengthen his wings.

When it comes to the shipbuilding industry, everyone may think of today's China's construction of aircraft carriers, the Qing Dynasty's construction of the Beiyang Fleet, the Ming Dynasty's Zheng He's voyage to the West, and the prosperity of the Maritime Silk Road in the Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties. In contrast, the shipbuilding industry in the Three Kingdoms period is actually not very strong, from the geographical situation, the development of the shipbuilding industry is mainly based on the waters, and the characteristics of the southerners who like water are also destined to focus on the south, the shipbuilding industry is obviously not developed can only be judged by the Dongwu and Jingzhou regions in the Yangtze River Basin, and the most striking is of course the Battle of Chibi. People tend to focus on the military and historical significance of the Battle of Chibi, but never pay attention to the shipbuilding industry in the Three Kingdoms period, the development of the shipbuilding industry in Soochow is actually very good, and it was better than Shu Han and Cao Wei before.

The Battle of Chibi was the first large-scale water battle in the Yangtze River basin in Chinese history. When Cao Cao pacified the north and led an army of 800,000, he actually waved his army south for 200,000, intending to dominate the world. Whether it is Cao Cao, Liu Bei, or Sun Quan, they are all actively developing the navy. Cao Cao accepted most of the Jingzhou naval army, integrated about 7 or 80,000 naval troops, and entered the Wulin area on the north bank of the Yangtze River; Liu Bei ordered Guan Yu to train more than 10,000 sailors, and according to Xiakou, Sun Quan led Zhou Yu to lead more than 30,000 people of the Eastern Wu Navy to guard the Chibi area on the south side of the Yangtze River. Since then, the general trend of Sun Liu and Cao has been formed.

Liu Yi wanted to laugh when he remembered the scene of the iron cable boat walking on the ground at that time, Cao Cao made the northerners who were not good at water warfare accustomed to taking boats, and linked the end and tail of each ship to each other, so as to make the ground smooth and reduce the bumps in the process of sailing. And the warship that can carry the so-called 800,000, even if it is 200,000 troops, will have a very long battle line when crossing the river, and how to carry out tactical operations in the warship integration in the process of linking the end to the end, so as not to make this warship collection in the process of causing some of the ships that are dragged and turned will not sink, these are explained in the shipbuilding industry that is difficult to understand today, it can be seen that the shipbuilding voyage of the Three Kingdoms has a certain technical background, but people have no intention of paying attention.

Soochow not only had the Yangtze River naval army admired by Cao Cao and Cao Pi and his son, but also had a large navy with routes between the East China Sea, the Yellow Sea, the Bohai Sea, and the South China Sea.

The military ideology of Eastern Wu to establish the country with a naval division stems from its unique geographical conditions. First, there is a long coastline from the Yellow Sea to the South China Sea; Secondly, there are various rivers such as the Yangtze River and the Qiantang River, as well as Taihu Lake, Dongting Lake, Poyang Lake and other large rivers and lakes, and they are connected into a network. In addition, Wu, Wei and Shu were basically bounded by the Yangtze River and the Xiangjiang River, and most of the wars for important places were mainly water battles, so it was necessary and urgent to establish a strong naval army. Of course, the so-called "southerners are good at water, northerners are good at horses", and the folk customs also laid a solid foundation for Sun Wu to create a strong naval army.

In fact, Sun Quan in the Three Kingdoms is quite ambitious, if according to the world's evaluation of him, he just wants to live in Soochow, then how can he pay attention to the development of cavalry, just train the navy to guard the house, Sun Quan also has the ambition of looking north, but he has never had the opportunity, it can be inferred from the previous mention that Sun Quan also attaches great importance to cavalry.

Liu Yi remembered that the most famous governor of Dongwu in later generations was the metropolitan governor, and the metropolitan governor of the Dongwu Navy was not in vain, and the main force of the Three Kingdoms of Dongwu was still the water division, and the developed industries such as copper smelting, iron smelting, boiling salt, and textiles provided a strong material foundation and sufficient technical force for the shipbuilding industry of Dongwu. At that time, the shipbuilding industry of Soochow had reached a very advanced level, and the pottery ship model of Soochow was unearthed in Guangzhou, and the ship model had eight beams from the bow to the stern, and the eight beams indicated that there were eight sets of bulkheads, which divided the hull into nine tight compartments (cabins). This is the shipbuilding technology of dividing cabin structures formed by beams and bulkhead plates. When the ship is sailing, even if one or two cabins are damaged and flooded, the water will not flow into the other holds, and the ship will not sink immediately. The flooded hold allows for the pumping of water, plugging of loopholes and other repairs without affecting the continuation of the ship.

The sea ships of Soochow also use advanced multi-sail technology, on the multi-sail mast ship, the slanted sail surface is facing the wind respectively, and the rear sail will not block the wind of the front sail, which greatly accelerates the speed of the ship, this kind of ship sails from the South China Sea to Daqin in just one month, and the sea ship of Soochow is tall and exquisite. In the third year of Jiahe, Wu sent the envoy Xie Hong and the Chinese book Chen Sui to worship the palace of Juli as a single Yu, and its sea boat carried eighty horses when it returned, which was still called a small boat. According to records, the warships built by Soochow were the largest with five floors and could carry 3,000 soldiers. Sun Quan's "Feiyun", "Gaihai" and other big ships are even more majestic. An ordinary big ship on the sea should also be 20 zhang long, two or three zhang above the water level, carrying six or seven hundred people, and carrying 10,000 people. Soochow's shipbuilding industry is not only technologically advanced, but also quite county-scale. At that time, the shipbuilding center of Soochow was in the marquis of Jian'an County. Close to the Minjiang River, directly leading to the East China Sea, abundant forests, convenient transportation, Dongwu has a special captain in the local area, in charge of the shipbuilding of prisoners. Since you have a ship of this size, of course, you have to make good use of it. It is not difficult to understand that Soochow often sailed across the sea during Sun Quan's time

In fact, the Soochow War of the Three Kingdoms was not their theme, it can be said that it was mainly navigation trade, and the most influential and far-reaching voyage of Soochow was the trip to Yizhou and Bozhou.

Where is Yizhou? Although there has been controversy throughout history, most scholars believe that Yizhou is present-day Taiwan. The direction, topography, climate, and customs of Yizhou are very similar to Taiwan, and there is nothing to refer to outside Taiwan, and recently the Japanese have found the ancient bricks of the finger palm type in Taipei, and it belongs to the Three Kingdoms in its era, so Yizhou is Taiwan, and there is no doubt about it.

Bozhou is today's Japan, an ancient country, and it is also known as a country in history. However, at that time, Dongwu did not know much about Yizhou and Bozhou, although there were many people from Bozhou who directly crossed the sea to Huiji and trade in Soochow, and there were also people in Soochow who were blown to Bozhou by sea. Ancient Yizhou and Bozhou have been considered to be places where immortals live since ancient times, and Emperor Qin and Han Wu have successively sent people and horses there to ask for the ethereal "elixir of immortality", but Sun Quan does not seem to want "immortality", the main reason is to hope that the natives of the two places will be forcibly relocated to Eastern Wu to enhance the national strength.

Sending a fleet to Yizhou and Bozhou was unanimously opposed by the important ministers Lu Xun and Quan Zong, who believed that the water, land and folk customs had a great impact, and it was difficult to move the people there but Sun Quan did not listen, after all, the land of Eastern Wu was vast and sparsely populated, and the population resources were too needed, so he still sent the generals Wei Wen and Zhuge Zhi to lead the Jiashi 10,000 people to sail across the sea. The fleet first traveled south to Yizhou, captured thousands of natives in Yizhou, and then traveled east to Bozhou. However, as Lu Xun expected, because of the long distance, there is no ready-made navigation route, perhaps because of the lack of astronomy, climate, mathematics and other knowledge necessary for today's navigation, and there may even be no compass and other guidance facilities. After a year of turbulence at sea, the fleet still did not reach Bozhou, and finally returned to Soochow in February of the third year of Wu Huanglong.

But if the voyage is not successful, there needs to be an explanation, after all, after spending so much manpower and material resources, you have to give an explanation to the ministers, who is responsible? Sun Quan is also the lord of a country, so he can't be blamed, so the people who went to sail suffered, everyone understands this kind of operation, but this battle is a major event for the mainland dynasty to begin to pass through Taiwan. It is said that this military operation has promoted economic and cultural exchanges between the mainland and Taiwan, and that the introduction of advanced production tools into Taiwan by the mainland has helped the ancestors of Taiwan's Gaoshan people to transition from the Stone Age to the Iron Age. The most direct significance of this voyage is that tens of thousands of soldiers arrived in Yizhou and stayed for more than a year, which greatly increased the Wu people's understanding of Yizhou and helped them to further cross the sea to Taiwan for development in the future. Since then, more and more people from the mainland have crossed the sea to the east. The exchanges between Soochow and Bozhou were not severed because of this.

When it comes to the voyage of Eastern Wu, we cannot avoid the fact that Sun Quan failed to pass through Liaodong.

Without the backing of a strong naval army, Sun Quan would not have been able to move the idea of passing through Liaodong. Although Liaodong was the sphere of influence of Wei, due to the long distance, Cao Wei was beyond the reach of the whip, and in fact, the Gongsun family was always there as the emperor. Sun Quan, out of tactical considerations, hoped to form an alliance with him and make him a horn in the northern resistance to Cao Wei. As early as the Jian'an period, he sent an envoy to cross the sea to Liaodong to connect with Gongsun Kang, but the envoy's head was chopped off by Gongsun Kang, and the two families became enemies. In the second year of Taihe, that is, in 228, Gongsun Yuan, the son of Gongsun Kang, usurped the throne from his uncle Gongsun Gong and became the new ruler of Liaodong. As a result, Soochow's fleet reappeared on the sea between Liaodong and Jiangnan.

In the years that followed, Sun Quan's ships frequently traveled between Eastern Wu and Liaodong, and Dongwu and the local residents did business. In March of the first year of Wu Jiahe, Sun Quan formed a fleet of "100 floating boats" and sent General Zhou He and Captain Pei Qian as commanders to Liaodong. The unfortunate news was discovered by Wei Detective, when Wei Runan was too shou Tian Yu was supervising the Qingzhou army to crusade against Gongsun Yuan from the sea channel, Emperor Wei Ming thought that the Eastern Wu had a large number of people, and was at sea, afraid that Tian Yu would encounter the fleet of the Eastern Wu and suffer a loss, so he ordered Tian Yu to withdraw his troops. However, Tian Yu thought that it was already autumn at that time, and the sea was turbulent and the waves were high, and the Wu army would definitely stay on the shore when he returned to the division, but there was no coast in the east, only in the west, and there was no place to hide ships in Chengshan, so he sent troops to occupy favorable terrain to guard Chengshan. In September, Zhou He and others returned from Liaodong, the ship went to Chengshan, and sure enough, it encountered a bad wind, "the ship touched the mountain and sank, the waves hit the shore, and there was nothing to escape", Tian Yu led the army to kill suddenly, Zhou He was beheaded, and the soldiers ashore were captured, and Pei Qian survived.

Tian Yu's dull stick made Sun Quan lose all his money, and Sun Quan was of course sad. But a month later, in October of that year, Gongsun Yuan sent the school captains Su Shu and Lang Zhong to order Sun Zong to claim the title of vassal to Sun Quan, and to offer mink horses and other tribute. This aroused Sun Quan's Liaodong complex, so he first issued an edict in the first month of the second year of Jiahe (233 years) "one person has a celebration, and the people rely on it", and then in March, he sent the widow Taichang Zhang Mi and Zhijin Wu Xu Yan as messengers, and the general He Da and others led an army of 10,000 people to escort Su Shu and Sun Zong back to Liaodong, and at the same time carried gold treasures and nine tin preparations to reward Gongsun Yuan, and named Gongsun Yuan as the king of Yan. In June of that year, the Soochow fleet successfully arrived in Liaodong, and more than 400 soldiers from Zhang Mi, Xu Yan, Wan Tai and Pei Qian, who were ordered to obey everything, came to Xiangping. Wantai and Pei Qian also carried a large number of goods to buy war horses. He Da and Yu Shi led the rest of the people at the shipyard. Gongsun Yuan, who knew the two ends of the head rat, had already changed his mind, he was treacherous, "I am afraid of power, and I am greedy for goods, so I induce him to behead Mi, Yan and other heads." More than 300 of the Eastern Wu army were beheaded, more than 200 were wounded and drowned, and a few of the remaining were scattered in the valley or died of starvation. In the first year of Wu Chiwu (238 years), Gongsun Yuan actually sent an envoy to "call himself a vassal to Wu" again, Sun Quan out of the overall strategic need to resist Cao Wei, and did not remember the old evil, and in March of the second year, he sent an envoy to Liaodong, which is the story of Gongsun Yuan and Sun Quan's separation and integration.

On the whole, the move of Eastern Wu through Liaodong was more than worth the loss, and the losses were heavy, and the situation of the Three Kingdoms was well known, and the Eastern Wu and Western Shu would not have a way out without eliminating the great enemy of Cao Wei on the premise that they were not eliminated. Zhuge Liang went out of Qishan six times, and went north to Cao Wei, knowing that he could not do it; Sun Quan and Zhuge Liang's strategic thinking is the same. Dongwu is excellent in the naval army, and those who can gain the upper hand in fighting with the enemy are probably in the riverside, at least thanks to the support of the naval army, if it is in the inland hinterland, even if it wins, it is not easy to last. This could not help but make Sun Quan have the strategy of using the advantages of the navy to find the northern expedition from the seaway; Or at least you can flank from the sea to contain the enemy. And if you want to use the sea route, you can undoubtedly win by gaining a stronghold in Liaodong. In fact, Gongsun Yuan at that time did have a disobedient heart for Cao Wei, and as soon as Zhuge Liang died, Sima Yi had no worries about disturbing the west, and immediately went on an expedition and ate this henchman's trouble, which can also be proven. It's a pity that Sun Quan is at a geographical disadvantage, and the Gongsun Yuan he met is a warlord who has no faith at all, of course, Sun Quan's choice of timing is not very appropriate, Sun Quan on the Liaodong issue, regardless of success or failure, regardless of Lu Xun, Zhang Zhao and other important ministers and insisted on going his own way, does not rule out the defects of "sadism", "darkness", and "no way" in his character, but generally speaking, it is still a reflection of his unwilling partiality and positive and enterprising thinking. What's more, "the east corner is lost, and the mulberry elm is harvested", Sun Quan's hard work objectively opened up a route from the East China Sea to the Liaodong Peninsula and the Korean Peninsula, and the direct route between the northeast and the southeast that had not been formed since the Qin and Han dynasties was connected. In the later Jin Dynasty, the southern crossing was to send Wang Qi and Xu Meng to cross the sea to the north to connect the Murong clan in Liaodong through this route, and during the Six Dynasties, it was also through this route that frequently traded with the countries of the Korean Peninsula. Therefore, Sun Quan's move harmed himself and others, and made some contributions.

In 229 AD, Sun Quan ascended the throne in Wuchang and was called Emperor Wu. In the autumn and September of the same year, the capital was built in the east. After decades of continuous efforts, the national strength of Dongwu has developed rapidly, and the shipbuilding industry is in full swing, not only Xishu "door berth Dongwu Wanli ship", but also Dongwu's fleet is also across the South China Sea, and the prestige of Europe and Asia.

Zhuya, Dan'er are all on Hainan Island, the Han Dynasty is two counties a total of 16 counties, Zhuya County is governed in Qiongshan County East Tandu, Dan'er County is governed in Dan County Yilun. As early as the second year of Wu Huanglong, Sun Quan took a fancy to Yizhou and Zhuya, and wanted to send a partial teacher to take it. However, because the gains of the trip to Yizhou and Bozhou outweighed the loss, the trip to Zhuya was also temporarily suspended. Since then, the Soochow fleet has been traveling back and forth between the mouth of the Yangtze River and Liaodong, and there is no time to look south. After 12 years, the Soochow Navy finally had the strength to march to the South China Sea, and Sun Quan sent General Nie You and Captain Lu Kai to lead 30,000 troops from the sea to expedition to Zhuya and Dan'er, and re-incorporated the two places back to the territory of Soochow. It was the year of Renxu, Sun Quan relocated Zhuya County, led Xuwen, Zhulu, and Zhuguan three counties, which belonged to Jiaozhou.

At that time, there was a place called Jiaozhou in the south, and during the Three Kingdoms, it had become the main center of trade between the countries of the South China Sea and China. In the twenty-fifth year of Jian'an, Emperor Wen of Wei practiced the war, Sun Quan's mission was called a domain, and Emperor Wen of Wei named Sun Quan as the king of Wu, "with a general envoy to supervise the state and lead the pastoral affairs of Jingzhou". The address was too guarded by the soldiers, and his son Shihui made a rebellion, and was destroyed by the Eastern Wu Guangzhou Assassin Shi Lu Dai "supervising 3,000 soldiers floating in the sea in the morning and night", and the land of Jiaozhou was completely occupied by Wu from then on. In the same year, Lu Dai sent to the South China Sea countries to promote the prestige of Wu, prompting the kings, each sent envoys to pay tribute, and the naval army of Eastern Wu conquered the south and the north, and also achieved several metropolitan governors, which will be mentioned later, the metropolitan governor of Eastern Wu, the eight good generals of Cao Wei, and the five tiger generals of Shu Han are not in vain.
