Chapter 138: A Strategy for Expansion

On the shore opposite Zigui City, Wei Minsheng took Li Yan and Wang Wushun to briefly check the terrain and the direction of the river according to the location shown on the satellite map, and used a tape measure and lime to draw the outline of the deep ditch of the wharf, and asked people to lay four wooden stakes at the four corners of the outline for reference.

And let Wang Wushun command those miscellaneous servants to dig a small ditch along the lime line, and then took a look at the location and wind direction of Ziguicheng, and took Li Yan to the upwind position of Ziguicheng.

Wei Minsheng took out the hydrogen balloons, hanging baskets, ropes and other items that had been prepared long ago from the warehouse in the real world, and tied the hanging baskets to a big tree on the shore with ropes.

Then he took out a reclining chair, blew the gentle river breeze, and said to Li Yan: "Li Yan, you have also been in Wu Country for a long time, so there should be people you know well in Yiling City, right?" ”

Li Yan said: "Lord, I have some old knowledge in Nayiling City, but since I joined the villa, some relationships are not very useful.

After all, I used to be the guard general of Zigui, and if I went to Yiling as a guard of Zigui, I still need to find some suitable reasons.

But if you go as an envoy of our Huaxia Kingdom, if you have too close contact with them, you may be regarded as a spy.

Even if there is a deterrent from the lord, then Sun Huan will not dare to talk to me, but if he can't do it, he will find trouble with them. ”

Wei Minsheng said: "Then tell me, if our Huaxia Kingdom needs to expand in the future, what kind of strategy should we adopt?" ”

Li Yan said: "My lord, if we want to develop in Huaxia, we must bring Zigui and Yiling under our rule, and the three places are each other's horns, so that the territory in the middle can develop more steadily."

If you only win Zigui, you will fall into a situation where you will be attacked on both sides, and the development space between the two places is too small, and you still need more defensive strength, which is a bit more than worth the loss.

If we only take Yiling County, it will be even more detrimental to our development, the population of the mountain villa is already small, and it is impossible to guarantee the safety of the waterway from the mountain villa to Yiling for nearly 100 miles, and the Wu State must not be willing to lose Yiling.

There is a strong enemy in front of us, and there is a Shu country next to it, if the lord does not use those forces, it is really difficult to ensure the safety along the way with the existing strength of our mountain villa.

Therefore, Zigui and Yiling must be taken, especially this Zigui City is at the door of our villa, and it is the throat of the Yangtze River, which must be in our hands.

Judging from the current situation, the last time I went to Nazigui City, I should have left a deep impression on them, at least I didn't dare to attack the idea of our mountain villa easily, otherwise, the army should have come to investigate the situation in the past five days.

Moreover, the unit has been keeping an eye on the situation over there, except for a team of people who left the city and went down the river four days ago, there was no movement.

It is estimated that because of our existence, they did not dare to rashly attack Yiling to prevent our fishermen from profiting, so they did not move.

But if they hold Zigui for a long time, even if they charge a certain rent, our development will be somewhat restricted, so I suggest that it is best to take Zigui back.

After the repossession of the city, the population absorbed from other places could be temporarily resettled in the city, and the simple diversion was carried out to avoid the management troubles caused by the sudden influx of too many people in the mountain village.

And most importantly, we want to establish a connection with Yiling County, and we absolutely cannot tolerate this nail next to us. ”

Wei Minsheng nodded and said: "It is precisely because of the current situation that the population base is too small to limit our development, in order to ensure the absolute safety of this waterway between Zigui and Yiling County, I want to build this wharf."

After the wharf was built, I got a 2,000-ton iron ship, installed some stone cannons and other weapons on it, and arranged for some people to be stationed at this wharf, which was a mobile armed stronghold, which was much better than garrisoning Zigui alone.

First, it can be established, this iron ship will appear on the Yangtze River as an invincible king, and bring this waterway into the control of the villa with absolute deterrent power.

Second, law enforcement can be carried out, and some small boats will patrol this waterway under the protection of this iron boat, protect the safety of ships passing on this waterway, and appropriately charge a certain protection fee for passing ships outside the mountain villa.

The third is flexibility, only a small number of people stationed on the ship can easily control the two cities of Zigui and Yiling, with the hull made of steel, you can easily crush those wooden boats, and obtain complete control of the water. ”

In fact, Wei Minsheng did not say another reason, that is, he could prevent the war. War will bring endless deaths, especially water wars, a large number of dead bodies will flow downstream, which will pollute the water bodies downstream, and Wei Minsheng can't help but retch when he thinks of what those fish, crabs, and shrimp grew up eating.

Therefore, although there are fish in the river, and they are really wild, Wei Minsheng does not eat them, and only eats what he fed in the fish pond of the villa.

It doesn't matter if the three of you are fighting back and forth, the important thing is to destroy the river in the entire basin, these things are in the eyes of Wei Minsheng, but they are all silver for nothing? This is what Wei Minsheng cannot tolerate the most.

Li Yan didn't listen to what Wei Minsheng said later, and there was only one picture in his mind:

A huge steel ship cruises on the Yangtze River, with a huge ramming angle in front of it...... Oh no, does a giant ship made of steel still need such a thing as a ramming horn?

On all sides are the kind of things with a range of three or four hundred meters on the gate of the villa, as if it is called a "golf stone cannon", this thing is good, a person can easily manipulate three or four, after the stone bullet is loaded, you only need to press the switch with your hand, "boom, boom......, boom" There is a chaotic sound, that is, dozens of pebbles fly into a piece, and it is too easy to deal with the foot rider.

The archers under his own command not only need a long time of training, but also not everyone can be archers, there is still a big difference in range, and after shooting a pot of arrows in a row, most of the hands will lose their strength, resulting in the loss of combat effectiveness, how can this thing come easily.

One such stone cannon is enough to withstand twenty or thirty archers with superior arm strength, and there will hardly be the situation of running out of arrows and losing the strength of both hands, because the way to obtain this pebble on the river is too simple, almost inexhaustible, and it is said that the power of this stone cannon is "electricity", and the power of thunder and lightning from the nine heavens is exhausted.

The iron boat is equipped with this kind of weapon, who can resist it on the Yangtze River?

Infantry and cavalry have no way to take this fortress that can move on water.

A trolls? Which country's wooden ship can withstand the collision of this steel giant.

Fire attack? Don't say that this is an iron ship, I am not afraid that you will burn it, it is the "fire of heavenly punishment" that can burn the river and destroy the world, the lord has a way to extinguish the fire, not to mention your fire.
