Chapter 665: The Steamship Is Built!
Liu Bei's side is fighting hard, why not the Kuai brothers? After experiencing a rebellion, the camp of the Kuai brothers finally stabilized, but there were not many soldiers and horses, only 50,000 soldiers and horses.
"Big brother, what should we do now? It's too hard, isn't it? Kuai Yue complained to Kuai Liang.
"Hey, no matter how difficult it is, you have to fight, you can't give this Jingzhou to Cai Mao, right?" Kuai Liang is also helpless, this may be the most difficult battle the two brothers have ever fought!
The two brothers only felt that every step they took was calculated, and their every move seemed to be under the surveillance of others!
But fortunately, the enemy's strategy is very simple, and they can see through it at a glance, so they haven't lost it all the way, just because every battle needs to be seriously thought about and pondered, so it takes a long time!
No, after a month, the two brothers were able to capture Wuling, which is really slow.
What's more, they are now facing a problem, that is, there is a shortage of soldiers! If soldiers and horses were arranged to garrison Wuling, even if only one or two thousand people were arranged for each city, the available soldiers and horses they could now have would only be less than 40,000! How else can this attack the remaining three counties?
Do you really want them to recruit soldiers and train them and then siege the city at the same time?
"Big brother, we seem to have forgotten about part of our strength!" At this time, Kuai Yue said suddenly.
"Huh? What do you mean by that? Kuai Liang asked puzzled.
"We can use those pawns!" Kuai Yue said, "Although the surrendered soldiers can't use it to defend the city, they can use it to attack the city!" ”
"Huh? That's right! Kuai Liang suddenly realized, what his younger brother said was right, that's it, they can use those soldiers to attack the city, and Wuling's soldiers are nearly 100,000 people!
"Big brother, our door can completely let these soldiers attack the city, and then use our soldiers to defend the city, or our soldiers mixed with these soldiers to defend the city, and finally our strength should be like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger!" Kuai Yue Road.
"Not bad!" Kuai Liang nodded approvingly.
Just do it, the two brothers integrated the good life of the soldiers, and then led 70,000 soldiers and 30,000 of their own soldiers on the road! Go straight to the next stop, Changsha!
However, even if the problem of soldiers and horses was solved, the headache was still not solved, and it was a lot of hard work, and the Kuai brothers took Changsha into the bag!
Next, Lingling and Guiyang, four months later, the two brothers finally took the four counties of Jingnan into their pockets.
After the two of them rectified the land of the four counties, they hurriedly sent a letter to Liu Bei, who had been waiting for this letter for a month! In the past month, Cai Mao also tried to send people to attack Nanyang, but in the end they all returned in vain!
And Liu Bei is waiting for the news of the Kuai brothers, relying on him alone, even if he can defeat Cai Mao, he is not willing to do so, after all, this is too risky, in the end it must be a lose-lose situation, this is not what he wants to see!
Therefore, Liu Bei and Cai Mao are also holding each other here, and no one is allowed to advance or retreat.
However, Liu Bei did not have nothing to do in this month, Wei Yan came back with nearly 60,000 soldiers, which greatly supplemented Liu Bei's strength, so Liu Bei was completely training soldiers in this month! He must seize this time, he must improve his own combat strength, and strive not to suffer losses when he fights against Cai Mao!
Just when Jingzhou was in full swing, Zhao Feng's house suddenly came with good news one after another, first Zhen Mi, Liu Xin and Huang Yueying, the three little girls gave birth one after another, adding two men and two women to Zhao Feng, Liu Xin and Huang Yueying each gave birth to a son, Zhao Feng named him Zhao Li and Zhao Yong, Zhen Mi gave birth to a pair of twins, Zhao Feng named him Zhao Nian and Zhao Ru, Zhen Mi's words were really fulfilled, although they were twins, but there was no boy among them.
Every time I thought of this, Zhen Mi was depressed, but fortunately, Zhao Feng comforted her, and Zhen Mi's postpartum depression disappeared.
Secondly, Zhao Feng finally received the news he had been waiting for for a long time - the steamship was built! This made Zhao Feng very excited, and the thought of finally being able to go to sea made Zhao Feng feel a burst of excitement in his heart.
What is the significance of Zheng He's voyage to the West to the development of China in history, I believe everyone can be famous, Zheng He's route was later called the Maritime Silk Road.
The fact that the shipping route can be compared with the once famous Silk Road shows its significance!
Of course, Zhao Feng not only wants to go through the Maritime Silk Road, he also wants to cross half the world to find America! Then the Americas will be occupied as soon as possible, and any rice country in the future, the big one in Ghana, will cease to exist, and in the whole earth, there will only be one country left in the end, and that is the Great Han!
Of course, this is Zhao Feng's final goal, but whether he can achieve it in his lifetime still needs to work hard, or that sentence, he wants the Han people to stand on top of the world!
But that's another story, and now it's time to see what the steamship looks like.
With excitement, Zhao Feng came to the dock, only to see a big steel ship docked on the shore, according to Zhao Fengde's requirements, did not color the appearance of the ship, one is because the color is too troublesome, and it is also because the color in ancient times is too monotonous, and the color is not as good as it.
Although the exterior of this ship is made of steel, it does not detract from its magnificent appearance in the slightest!
Zhao Fengde's design is completely based on the design of the ocean-going ships of later generations, and the huge hull, standing under the ship by one person, is really insignificant!
On the boat, Zhao Feng designed beds, dining rooms, kitchens, latrines, etc., as long as there is enough firewood, it is not difficult to live on the ship for a long time! Of course, if you are not afraid of the cold, you can do without firewood!
In addition, for the future battle of the navy, Zhao Feng also deliberately placed a catapult on the ship, as well as a storage room for explosives bags.
Wait, wait...... As long as you can think of it, you can basically find it on this ship.
"Can you set sail?" Zhao Feng asked excitedly.
"Of course you can, but my lord, my subordinates recommend that you set sail for the first time and don't take a boat!" Master Wang nodded.
"Why is that?" Zhao Feng was puzzled, isn't the boat just for people to ride? Why can't you take it now?
"Lord, after all, this is the first time to set sail...... Master Wang's words are obvious, he is worried about what will happen to this ship, but what will Zhao Feng be afraid of?
So Zhao Feng interrupted Master Wang's words: "Master Wang, Lone understands what you mean, but Lone must take it to witness the first voyage of this ship!" ”
Listening to Zhao Feng's firm tone, Master Wang was silent, intellectually speaking, he really shouldn't let Zhao Feng take the boat, if there was really any accident, he couldn't afford it!
Seeing Master Wang's embarrassed appearance, Gan Ning stepped forward and laughed: "Lao Wang, what are you afraid of, I am Lao Gan driving the boat, you can rest assured, the safety of the lord is handed over to me Lao Gan!" ”
"This ...... All right! Master Wang nodded helplessly.
