Chapter 318: Transforming the Jiangnan

After the Jiangnan came over smoothly, Xu Sheng asked people to quickly release coal to speed up and quickly leave the waterway of the Xiang'an section of the Yangtze River. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info So after a burst of smoke rose, the Jiangnan drove towards Jiujiang Mansion at full speed. Ran away without saying hello, where did Sun Quan want to, far away in a fog, Xu Sheng saw the terrible Lujiang battleship sailing smoothly.

The Lujiang was followed by three frigates, and the Lujiang was an old-fashioned warship purchased from Guangling Prefecture. However, although the Lujiang is old, Sun Quan modified it with a third-generation war gun, plus three frigates equipped with a third-generation gun, how did the Jiangnan fight, which was only alone and injured?

Getting closer and closer, Xu Sheng looked at the four oncoming warships on the river and asked Huang Zu how to meet the battle. Huang Zu looked at both sides of the Yangtze River, the guns on both sides were useless, and the only guns that could be used now were the main guns at the front of the battleship. The three battleships on the opposite side, they will definitely not come head-on, they will definitely turn sideways and outflank, and if the cannons on both sides cannot be used, the two sides will become weak areas.

After thinking for a long time, Huang Zudao could only rely on the speed advantage first and then face it head-on, and when it entered the firing range, he used the main gun to blow up the Lujiang. If you hit the Lujiang River, you will take the opportunity to quickly sail into the Yangtze River and then return to Jiujiang Mansion. Xu Sheng nodded, so the two of them drove the Jiangnan to speed up towards the Lujiang.

On the Yangtze River, seeing a big man three times larger than himself approaching, the Lujiang hurriedly turned to the side. After arriving at the range of the Jiangnan, Huang Zu asked people to open fire, and fired four shells in a row without hitting the Lujiang, but the huge explosion had frightened the soldiers on the Lujiang to break their courage. So when the Lujiang turned sideways and wanted to leave, a shot hit the stern of the Lujiang, and the huge explosion shattered the stern of the Lujiang, the Lujiang was busy raising the white flag, and the Jiangnan was busy taking the opportunity to sail upstream.

After leaving Xiang'an, Xu Sheng went all the way to Jiujiang Mansion. The Lujiang dragged its injured tail back to Xiang'an without a shot, and the captain was severely taught a lesson by Sun Quan. Due to the blowing up of the tail, Sun Quan had to drag the Lujiang to the Jiangdu Shipyard for repairs, and the cost of this repair cost Sun Quan lost half a year's financial revenue in a county.

However, Xu Sheng is not much better, after arriving in Jiujiang Mansion, Xu Sheng sent someone to invite the maintenance master of Jiangnan Mansion, and the maintenance master came to take a look, this time the sea exercise, damaged seven cannons, and the entire ship's body was broken by the recoil in a large place, if it is repaired again, it will have to be pulled back to Jiangdu Shipyard for repair.

But if Sun Quan knew that the Jiangnan was so vulnerable, the reputation of the Jiangdu Shipyard would be gone. So Sun Shao, the governor of Jiangnan Prefecture, wrote to Tao Ying, in order to cover up this ugly incident, Tao Ying had to transfer the workers of Jiangdu Shipyard to Jiujiang City to set up a new factory, and then come to repair the Jiangnan. This back and forth toss cost at least nearly 70,000 taels of silver in Xuzhou.

The money is spent, and the problem has to be solved. How to solve the problem of artillery instability and how to solve the problem of too much recoil were placed in front of Guangling Mansion for a while. After nearly half a month of discussion, the experts of the Guangling Shipbuilding School finally reached a consensus, that is, to rebuild a new turret and fix the cannon, so that the cannon lost the opportunity to adjust freely, but it was stable.

Regarding the problem of too much recoil, it can only be stipulated that only seven guns can be fired at the same time each time the cannon is fired, and more than 30 guns on one side cannot be fired at the same time. In order to repair the Jiangnan, Jiujiang Mansion put half a year's tax revenue into it.

After seeing the power of the Jiangnan, Sun Quan decided to save money and continue to buy new warships. So on the basis of repairing the Luling, Sun Quan spent another million taels of silver to let Jiangdu Shipyard build the Jiujiang ship.

Due to the arrival of shipbuilding orders, the Guangling Shipyard, which had been suspended, was busy again. Jiangnan Mansion also took advantage of its own advantages and joined forces with Jiangdu Shipyard to build ships to sell.

In 213, after nearly two years of peace, Xuzhou built a train city agglomeration in the north and several large cities in the south. Seeing that Xuzhou was gradually becoming stronger, the Son of Heaven couldn't stay in Luoyang. Whose world is the world, is it Tao Ying's world or the world of the Son of Heaven? Tao Yinggong is the master, so the Son of Heaven wants to unite all the princes to crusade against Xuzhou again and let Xuzhou split.

After discussion, the hundred officials of Luoyang decided to divide and disintegrate Xuzhou, because if they rashly attacked Xuzhou, there was no reason, and they would inevitably be opposed by the people of the world. So finding an excuse became the first thing Luoyang had to do. How to make excuses? The Son of Heaven began to appoint officials from the counties. The Son of Heaven knew that the potter and Tao Ying had a conflict, so he used this to provoke a relationship between them.

The pottery merchant was stationed in Wei County, when Liu Bei took refuge in Xuzhou, Tao Qian asked him to assist the pottery merchant, and now more than ten years have passed, Liu Bei assisted the pottery merchant to lose Xuzhou and was driven around. Now it is hard to gain a firm foothold in Wei County, after two years of recruitment, they are thinking about recapturing Xuzhou, and there is a lack of a reason, so the Son of Heaven re-canonized the potter as Xuzhou Mu, let him lead the troops back to Pengcheng to station.

After the holy decree reached Wei County, Liu Bei of Wei County did not dare to disobey the holy order, so he prepared to let the pottery merchants raise troops to Pengcheng. After Tao Ying learned the news, his angry head exploded.

As soon as Liu Bei led his troops to Shanyang County, the Xuzhou army blocked Liu Bei's way. Liu Bei assisted the pottery merchants to stay in Wei County for nearly a year, Wei County was originally the capital of Jizhou, and it was once Yuan Shao's old nest, so the population was large. Liu Bei suggested that the potters recruit troops in Wei County, and the potters recruited nearly 10,000 troops in Wei County, although the drills were less, but the number was also quite spectacular.

After the Shanyang guard blocked Liu Bei's way, he sent someone to tell Liu Bei to let him first garrison the generals and horses outside Shanyang County, and then go to tell Tao Ying, the king of Pengcheng, himself. Liu Bei wanted to salute first and then soldier, but Zhang Fei was anxious where he could wait, seeing that the guards asked them to wait outside, Zhang Fei wanted to lead his troops to attack Shanyang County.

Liu Bei knew that King Pengcheng could not afford to offend, so he hurriedly stationed his army temporarily in the border area.

After learning that Liu Bei's military horse was in Shanyang County, Tao Ying sent someone to tell Liu Bei to let him lead the military horse back to Wei County, otherwise he would lead a large army to fight him in a decisive battle, and he sent someone to Luoyang to persuade the Son of Heaven.

After the envoy set off, Tao Ying mobilized his troops, let Yu Ban be the governor, Jia Xu was the military advisor, and Zhao Yun was the vanguard to guard Shanyang County. After the ban left, Tao Ying discussed with Liu Ye and Zhang Zhao how to deal with the various difficulties of the Son of Heaven.

Now the land of Xuzhou is about to enter the legal society, after more than ten years of development and popularization, the new generation of children in Xuzhou is no longer the emperor, but the law of Xuzhou!

In their eyes, they can only submit to the law, not to a certain person. The society will eventually progress, and it is impossible to retreat to the society where the emperor alone counts, so since the Son of Heaven intends to embarrass Tao Ying, Tao Ying is ready to also join his army!
