Jiang Sheng mobilized more than 300,000 young and strong laborers from Jizhou, Youzhou and Qingzhou to go to Luoyang and devote themselves to the construction. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In order to prevent the princes from interfering in the work, Jiang Sheng asked Liu Hong to send special personnel to register the laborers involved in the construction, and then make an iron identity tag, which indicates the name, place of origin, the construction site to which he belongs, and the labor number, etc., with which the laborers can enter and exit the corresponding construction site to receive daily necessities and wages.

After a large number of workers entered the construction site, the new arrivals were relatively scattered, and Pan Zhang's intelligence team was responsible for screening these new scattered personnel at the construction site, and then registering them, issuing identity tags, and removing the spies who were screened out.

This is also a big initiative, at this time there are household registration statistics, household registration, but the standards are different, the statistics are very different, Jiang Sheng pondered to take the household registration system of later generations to implement, so he first tried at the Luoyang construction site.

Jiang Sheng officially handed over Qingzhou to Xun You, worshiped Xun You as the pastor of Qingzhou, and he started to be a big Sima with peace of mind, but the emperor was in Lecheng and Jiang Sheng was in Yecheng.

There was news from the trial that Gongsun Du had killed the Taishou of Xuansu and Liaoxi counties, and arranged his own people, and the trial wanted to get rid of Gongsun Du's power, because it was very important, so he asked Jiang Sheng for instructions.

Jiang Sheng replied to the letter and asked the trial to organize the counties west of Youbeiping to train and prepare for war, and asked Gao Shun, Zhenggu, and Bian Xi to lead 50,000 cavalry to the north to stand by, and Zhang Ning was entrusted with the important task of military division.

Zhang Ning has been studying the military strategy in "Taiping Technique" for some time, and she is already smart, Jiang Sheng asked her to participate in the land battle in Youzhou, Jiang Sheng intends to promote a group of elite female generals, Zhang Ning is the focus of his training.

Jiang Sheng looked at the map of Liaodong on the wall in the study, and said to Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Xi Zhicai and other staff: "Tell me, if you want to fight Liaodong, where should you start?" ”

Xi Zhicai said: "Now Wuhuan and the west of Youbeiping are under our control, and the Xianbei tribe in the north of Xuansu has also been surrendered, and they can attack from the west and north directions, although Gongsun Du has 150,000 soldiers and horses, but if you want to divide your troops to resist, you will not be our opponent." ”

Guo Jiadao: "I have a different opinion, the Southern Xiongnu and the annexed states constrain Youji, Yanzhou contains Qingzhou, and the overall situation of the division is initially decided, and it is not appropriate to use troops." At present, the total strength of the three prefectures of You, Hebei, and Qingdao is 400,000, but our 400,000 soldiers and horses are scattered in various prefectures and counties, and the number of soldiers and horses that can be drawn should not exceed 150,000. ”

Jiang Sheng couldn't help but nod his head when he heard it, Guo Jia's analysis was quite reasonable.

Guo Jia continued: "Even if you add Wuhuan's side, at best, there are more than 200,000 people, if we attack in multiple ways, our troops do not have an advantage, my idea is that the troops are divided into two routes, respectively from the two counties of Youbeiping and Xuansu, and directly attack Gongsun Du's old nest Changli with superior forces, we attack on both sides, and Gongsun Du will be attacked on both sides, and it will be difficult to stop." ”

Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia argued about the tactics of concentration or division of troops, each with its own reason, and they were at a stalemate for a while, but Jia Xu was silent.

"Wenhe, what do you think?"

Jia Xu said: "The methods of Zhicai and Fengxiao are both good strategies, but if the two strategies are combined, the effect of containing the main force of Gongsun Du will be greatly enhanced." ”

Jiang Sheng, Xi Zhicai, and Guo Jia are all stunned, these 200,000 soldiers and horses are at best the main force to contain Gongsun Du?

Jia Xu continued: "My subordinates heard that the Qingzhou fleet is almost complete, why don't you try to attack from the sea?" ”

This is exactly what Jiang Sheng's initial idea is, Jiang Sheng wants to see what else this Jia Xu is capable of.

Jia Xu saw that a few people were listening to what was going on, so he said: "We mobilize 200,000 soldiers and horses to deal with Gongsun Du, we can use Zhicai's multi-way division of troops to induce Gongsun Du to divide the army, if he does not divide the army, it will also make him unable to figure out where the main force is, and use the policy of filial piety to concentrate the main force on the east and west roads as an assist." ”

"Brother Wen He means that the sea is the main direction of attack?"

"That's right! The main direction of combat is to land by sea, and the Qingzhou battalion is brave in combat, and can go to sea from Huangxian by boat, choose any place on the coast of Liaodong to land, and then attack the city all the way to make a momentum. Gongsun Du rear emptiness, so there will be chaos, if not saved, then Lelang, Liaodong for me to get, if it is saved, then the east and west can be heavy troops, a battle! ”

Jiang Sheng clapped his hands and said, "Wonderful! The three of you are full of ingenuity, and the plan you agree on together will win. In the future, the three of you will form my Jiang Sheng's General Staff and have full authority to plan operational affairs. ”

The three of them bowed and said in unison: "Thank you, lord!" ”

After deciding on a plan to deal with Gongsun Du, Jiang Sheng took this "General Staff" to Huangxian County to inspect the Qingzhou fleet.

Zhou Cang, who accompanied the guards, sent people to inform Xun You, Tai Shici, and Zhang He, and in order to ensure Jiang Sheng's safety, Tai Shici led 20,000 soldiers and horses to accompany him.

After Chen Ji learned the news that Jiang Sheng and others had inspected the shipbuilding base, he also quickly rushed to Huang County. After half a year of operation, Huangxian County has built the first large-scale shipyard in Dahan, with dozens of huge building ships lined up in the offshore anchorage, and many small assault boats are making final touches.

Jiang Sheng proposed to take a look at the ship, and Chen Ji found dozens of experienced sailors to accompany him on the ship, and they took the assault boat to the outermost big ship, which was also the largest of these ships.

The ship that Jiang Sheng boarded was forty zhang long (about one hundred and thirty meters), twelve zhang high, and eighteen zhang wide and wide, with two propellers behind it, and a hand-cranked oar on the side for auxiliary power, which was built according to Jiang Sheng's previous sketches, the bottom compartment had additional steel plates, and the sailor had two power compartments in the bottom compartment, which was a foot pedal connected with gears to drive the propeller at the stern, and there were sails on the deck, which were also used as auxiliary power.

Considering the buoyancy of the boat, there was an empty gap between the bottom compartment and the deck, and twenty four-bow repeaters and eight medium-sized trebuchets were installed on the foredeck, all of which could be switched directions.

Eight four-bow repeaters and four large trebuchets were installed on the aft deck, and the crossbow arrows were packed in boxes and placed next to the repeaters, each with a thousand crossbow arrows.

The middle deck is divided into three floors, the bottom floor is a warehouse, the front part is loaded with stone bullets and tung oil, and the rear part is loaded with grain and grass materials and fresh water. The middle floor is the operation room and the dormitories of the crew and soldiers, and the upper floor is the living room of the generals and officials, and it is also the command center, which can accommodate 100 crew members and 1,000 soldiers.

Twenty three-bow repeaters were installed on each side of the entire deck for melee combat. The hull was surrounded by steel plates, but there was little tightness and was used only to protect the wooden hull.

Jiang Sheng immediately said: "This ship is used as a flagship, it seems that it is time to form a navy!" ”
