A soldier of the navy came in and reported that ahead was the mouth of the Yellow River, that is, where the Lijin Dazhai of the navy was located.

The fleet was about to leave the Yellow River and sail into the sea.

Lu Bu invited everyone to go to the deck with him to see this different scenery, although all the military advisors are taking a boat for the first time, but they have long been used to spitting and spitting, and the impact of seasickness is not great, of course, it has something to do with the small wind and waves at the mouth of the Yellow River.

Everyone climbed to the highest deck of the ship, and when they looked up, there was a turbid rushing river on the left and right, and the river became extremely wide near the mouth of the sea.

On the far river bank on the right hand side, there is a magnificent and magnificent naval army, the towering wall, the arrow tower higher than the wall, and the wall is full of the Han military flag and the military flag of the water division.

There was a group of tall warships sailing out of Dazhai, this was the Bohai Fleet that came to meet Lu Bu and others.

When the Yellow River arrives here, the flow rate is getting slower and slower, the sediment is precipitating, and the river is becoming clearer.

Facing the rising sun in the east, Lü Bu's fleet was sailing into the vast sea, and a yellow and blue dividing line between the Yellow River and the sea appeared in the distance.

The captain told Lu Bu that this dividing line was not often seen, and only appeared when the sea was high and the tide was high.

Lu Bu also saw this magnificent scene for the first time in his life, and he didn't pay attention to it the last time he traveled around the Bohai Sea.

Sure enough, it is the sea that embraces all rivers, standing at the bow of the ship, looking at the wonders of the sea and the sky, how can people not sigh, the world is long, the vicissitudes of the years!

"The water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky, rushes to the sea and never returns!" The old mistake was made again, and an ancient poem blurted out.

Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi next to him all praised each other, and the lord made a good poem!

If you were a cheeky person like Lu Bu, you couldn't help blushing!

With the addition of the Bohai Fleet, Lu Bu and others changed their flagships, after all, the building ships of the Bohai Fleet are more suitable for sea navigation.

These building ships and fighting ships are built with new technologies such as keel method and watertight compartments, and they can withstand strong winds and waves.

The fleet sailed eastward, and the Bohai Bay was relatively calm.

The fleet sailed to the Liaodong Peninsula first, and Gongsun Du, who had seized Liaodong, had already received the news and went to sea by boat for the second time, boarded the flagship, and came to pay homage to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu warmly received him, he hadn't seen him for a few years, Gongsun Du was a lot older, full of white hair, his steps were not so firm, he needed the support of others, and he also brought his son Gongsun Kang.

He reported to Lü Bu about the recent situation in Liaodong in recent years, and Gongsun Kang defeated several provocations by the Goguryeo people and completely conquered the Samhan kingdom at the southern tip of the Korean Peninsula.

The situation in eastern Liaoning is still stable, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

He said that he was old and planned to pass on the position to Gongsun Kang, who had been helping him take care of government and military affairs for the past few years, and he was no longer the impulsive hairy guy he was when he was in the Tiger Prison.

Gongsun Kang humbly expressed his admiration for Lu Bu and his determination to defend the bitter cold land of Liaodong for the Han Dynasty.

Lu Bu had already mastered the specific situation of the Gongsun Du family through the channels of the Ministry of Intelligence, and Gongsun Du still had some ambitions and wanted to establish himself as the king of Liaodong.

However, after seeing the strength of the Central Army, especially when Lu Bu had a powerful naval army, which could easily transport a large army to land on the Liaodong Peninsula, he completely died of the idea of becoming a king on his own, and honestly became his Liaodong County Taishou.

Even his self-appointed Pingzhou Mu has been canceled, and even in the past few years, he has successively handed over control of Youbeiping County and Liaoxi County to show that he has no half-hearted position.

Therefore, Lu Bu is still more trusting and tolerant, and he wants to pass on the throne to his son Gongsun Kang, but Lu Bu does not object.

Lu Bu comforted their father and son with kind words, and allowed the children of Liaodong to study in the academy in Chang'an, and even apply for the Central Military Academy.

Those who are willing to stay in the central government after graduation can join the army like the children of various states and counties, so that Gongsun Du and his son can eat a peace of mind pill.

After receiving Gongsun Du, Lü Bu's fleet continued eastward, and after bypassing the Chengshan Peak of the Shandong Peninsula, it turned south and headed for Jiaozhou Bay, the destination of the trip.

There were still dozens of nautical miles from Jiaozhou Bay, and a fleet of snow-white sails hung on three tall masts.

Each ship was more than 20 zhang long and 5 or 6 zhang wide, and the hull had a graceful line that was not found in a building.

The bow is low, and behind the long hull is a tall stern tower, and the side of the ship is much higher than the side of the ship.

The hull below the surface deck is significantly narrower, in the shape of an inverted triangle, not as wide as a building ship, with less resistance and faster speed.

The most impressive thing is that above the waterline on the left and right sides of the ship, there are obviously two decks, and the upper and lower rows of windows are opened, and thick cylindrical black iron objects stick out of the windows, a bit like muskets magnified many times.

Lu Bu's first feeling was that he had crossed over again, and had traveled to that golden age of discovery.

However, he soon saw the Han military flag hanging high on the mast, and the familiar sound of the trumpet that had just sounded, this was his own fleet.

It turns out that these galleons are a new type of warship, Chinese galleons, created by Jiaozhou Bay Shipyard according to the sketches drawn by Lu Bu, combined with the construction experience of building ships and fighting ships and the ever-changing shipbuilding technology.

It is very similar to the famous galleon of Galen or Spanish galleon. Can't it be like that? Lu Bu's sketch is of a Spanish galleon...

The first batch of galleons built were still experimental in nature, and their tonnage was not large, only 500 to 600 tons, so they were not as large as the original building ships in terms of tonnage and volume.

However, their speed and seaworthiness are not comparable to those of building ships.

The new yacht retains a certain number of oarsmen to facilitate maneuvering against the wind, after all, the use of sails is still in the exploration stage, and it is not possible to rely on the sails for power when the wind is headwind.

But the most revolutionary change is the super weapon it carries, which is the real ultimate weapon, the king of naval and land battles, artillery.

This is not a small man like a mortar, but a big guy that weighs thousands of pounds, or even thousands of pounds.

The new galleons are mainly equipped with two caliber guns, one is a five-inch caliber with a barrel length of one zhang and two feet, and the other is larger, with a six-inch caliber and the same barrel length.

There is a four-wheeled gun carriage underneath each gun, which makes it easy to quickly reset after firing shells.

The gun doors on the side of the side were closing, stranded with iron chains.

The artillery made of cast iron was full of weight, and Lu Bu directly skipped the bronze artillery, but chose a more durable cast iron, and carried out anti-rust treatment, after all, it was relatively humid when fighting at sea.

These guns can use both solid and shotgun, two types of shells, chosen according to the specific situation of the opponent.

Shotgun (xiandan)
