Liu Wu didn't wait long, and the team led by the old man with a strong body, steady pace, and white hair and beard in the distance came quickly.
The old man's name is Zhu San, who has been a shipbuilder for generations, and his party knelt on the ground after seeing Liu Wu, and Zhu San said to Liu Wu: "Zhu San, a grass man, has seen an adult." ”
Liu Wu saw Zhu San kneeling down to him, and hurriedly picked up Zhu San, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Uncle, please get up quickly, let you kneel for the juniors, it really torments me." ”
Zhu San saw that Liu Wu had a kind face, and was not as fierce as the officers he met in Fankou, and his nervous heart immediately calmed down.
It's just that generations have been instructed by others, and they are so good to Zhu San, but Zhu San is a little unaccustomed to it.
In this world, there should be no distinction between high and low, after all, the social division of labor is different, and this is not the capital that you can discriminate against others.
Liu Wu saw that Zhu San and them were very restrained, and in order to ease their nervousness, he chatted: "Uncle, how many years have you been in the shipbuilding industry?" Is it a shipbuilding business for generations? ”
Hearing Liu Wu ask about his profession, Zhu San's eyes flashed with a hint of pride, and said: "The old man has been eating in this line of food for fifty years, and he went down to the dock with his father at the age of eight. ”
Zhu San's words are modest enough, when chatting with Zhu San and them, Liu Wu carefully found that the system implanted the construction of treasure ships and related shipbuilding technology in the Ming Dynasty to Zhu San and them, but there are also rules that men do not pass on women, and disciples do not pass on outsiders.
The two epoch-making techniques of watertight cabin and keel laying are also firmly hidden in the classics of Zhu Sanjia's family, and will not be taught to outsiders.
The Ming Dynasty, as the pinnacle of the feudal dynasty of Han culture, even stood alone in the world in some aspects, among which shipbuilding technology is a classic example.
The eighteen shipwrights rewarded by the system to Liu Wu are seeds, and if Liu Wu uses them well, after time accumulation, I believe that the shipbuilding industry under his command will develop by leaps and bounds in the near future.
Therefore, it is impossible for Liu Wu to let this kind of technology only be passed on among a few companies, what Liu Wu wants to do is to let more people learn this kind of technology, and then collide with new sparks in the discussion, and use the form of discussion to continuously promote the progress of science and technology under his command, so as to have a strong science and technology industry.
To be honest, Liu Wu and Zhu San discussed related skills, which was absolutely impossible to talk about Zhu San, but when it came to the ability to fool, Liu Wu thought that his eloquence was still good.
In the same way, Liu Wu sacrificed a weapon of great murder to improve their social status, and it was not impossible for those who had made outstanding achievements to be knighted, and even a book could be written for them.
Under a series of promises from Liu Wu, the Shipwright College was established in Dongting Lake, providing Liu Wu with a large number of outstanding talents in the future and continuously promoting the progress of the shipbuilding industry.
Eighteen shipwrights who were implanted in their memories led by Zhu San all joined the shipwrights academy, and appointed Zhu San as the director of the shipbuilding department and the director of the shipwrights college.
Perfect, really perfect.
Liu Wu was very happy in his heart, because he believed that as long as the Dongting Army was given time, this Dongting Lake would be full of majestic warships in the future.
The navy is not Liu Wu's goal, his goal is the navy, the deep blue sea!
After finishing this work, the starry sky came, and after Liu Wu hastily ate the meal, he held a military meeting with the Dongting Army led by Gan Ning.
Gan Ning, Xu Shu, Zhou Tai, Xu Sheng, and Ling Cao were all here, Liu Xiong was a student observer, and Xun Yu talked to Deng Zhi, who managed the livelihood of Dongting Lake.
Each performs its own duties, and Liu Wu's subordinates all know what they should be busy with, instead of standing there stupidly waiting for orders.
Liu Wu looked at the map in front of him, frowned, and said, "Yuan Zhi, you said that my Dongting Army not only occupies territory in Dongting Lake, but you also scattered your troops?" ”
Xu Shu saw that Liu Wu had doubts, pointed to the map and explained: "Hui Zhugong, don't look at the large scope of Dongting Lake, but there are not many islands that are really suitable for the army to be stationed and even inhabited, the Dongting Army has conducted an all-round reconnaissance of Dongting Lake since it was stationed in Dongting Lake, and found that there are a total of seven islands suitable for habitability.
For this reason, after several discussions with the commander, I decided to take advantage of the current chaos in Jingnan to send Xu Ding, Li Dian, Lejin, and Liaohua to capture Baqiu Mountain, Yazui Bay, Xinggui Mountain, and Rongshan respectively, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and at the same time carry out military cantonment to solve the problem of grain and grass in the headquarters;
At the same time, in order to ensure that the entire Dongting Army can be well linked, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Ling Tong, Xu Sheng, and Ling Cao were appointed as the chief generals of the Dongting Army, and the entire Dongting Lake was divided into regions, and an early warning mechanism was established and improved. ”
Xu Shu spoke in detail, Liu Wu listened very carefully, and at the same time, he also had a basic understanding of what the scale of the Dongting Army is today.
In terms of the current situation alone, Gan Ning and Xu Shu can make the Dongting Army have today's situation, and they have spent a lot of effort, not bad, not bad.
After pondering for a moment, Liu Wu asked, "In addition to the shortage of warships, what other difficulties does the Dongting Army face now?" ”
At this time, Xu Shu did not speak, Gan Ning stood up and replied: "There are too few soldiers who really understand water warfare, it can be said that everything is starting from scratch, if it is not for the Dongting Army There are a few generals with a high understanding of water warfare, then it will take a lot of trouble for the Dongting Army to really form combat effectiveness." ”
Hearing this, Liu Wu immediately replied: "I also understand the situation faced by the Dongting Army now, but I asked you to be Gan Ning, and let you come to Dongting Lake to form the Dongting Army is not for enjoyment, I asked you to form the strongest naval army, don't be afraid of war, don't be afraid of casualties, the combat effectiveness of the army has always been fought, if you don't know how to fight water warfare, then open a basic training camp to train those talented soldiers." ”
This night, Liu Wu stayed up all night, discussing the relevant matters faced by the Dongting Army, and at the same time discussing the future development direction of the Dongting Army.
After the goal was really determined, the Yiying Dongting Army led by Gan Ning and Xu Shu was no longer hesitating, which also laid the foundation for the Dongting Army to become one of the strongest navies under Liu Wu in the future.
Of course, the current Dongting Army still has a long way to go, but the bright future belongs to the Dongting Army!
