Chapter 317: Military Medical Hall
After the establishment of the Military Medical Hall in Luo County, Wei Yan considered that most of the injuries during the battle were traumatic, so he focused on building a team of military doctors with external injuries. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info so for the medicinal materials needed for the battle, Wei Yan began to let Luo County merchants buy them everywhere. Knowing that Luo County needed to buy more medicinal materials, many medicinal herb dealers began to gather in Luo County, and soon Luo County became the base of medicinal materials in the south. Luo County has better transportation, close to Dongting Lake, and then connected to the Yangtze River. Since Danyang County was assigned to Xuzhou, all the places south of the Yangtze River were in the hands of Tao Ying. Due to the unification of the localities, the Yangtze River waterway appears to be busier. Now with the annexation of Danyang, Jiujiang Mansion ushered in a new development opportunity, and when Jiujiang Mansion developed, it also drove Changsha County by the way, especially Luo County, which is close to the Yangtze River.
With the gradual stabilization of politics, Xuzhou's economy has also begun to rise rapidly. Today's Pengcheng has become a big city far beyond Luoyang back then. In the development and rise of Pengcheng, the surrounding cities have also taken advantage of the trend. Since it has not experienced war, the wealth of Xuzhou has far surpassed that of other provinces. The wealth of several cities in Xuzhou Mansion alone can reach the upper half of Yanzhou.
After the war subsided, after three years of construction, in March 213, the large battleship Jiangnan finally left the factory in Jiangnan Province. Jiangnan uses a new power system, and although it is driven by a steam engine, the speed is extraordinary. Moreover, two-thirds of the hull of the Jiangnan is made of steel, and the steel battleship was simply the overlord of the water in the Three Kingdoms era, when artillery was not yet popular!
However, physically stronger than any warship, the Jiangnan was also armed with sixty-three guns. These cannons were made by concentrating the wisdom of all the craftsmen of Jiangnan Province. Even when designing these artillery, Tao Ying also transferred Taoling artillery experts to develop them together. The newly developed artillery was already equipped with the new gunpowder that had just been developed, and the gunpowder was incredibly powerful, and the rate of fire had been greatly adjusted.
When the Jiangnan was launched, this became a major event in Xuzhou. Many military fans traveled thousands of miles from Xuzhou to watch the Jiangnan launch. The banks of the Yangtze River were full of people, and with a huge cannon sound, with the whining of the steam engine, the Jiangnan sailed from Jiangdu Port to Jiujiang Mansion. The main task of the Jiangnan is to protect the safety of Jiujiang Mansion, and when the Jiangnan passes by Sun Quan's territory, the north of the Yangtze River is also full of people who come to watch.
Sun Quan's people didn't believe that a boat made of iron could still run on the Yangtze River without wind! When the Jiangnan passed by Xiang'an, even Sun Quan led the generals to Bei'an of the Yangtze River to watch. Huang Zu saw Sun Quan on the boat, so he said to Xu Sheng: "Dudu, you see that Sun Quan is in Bei'an, why don't we let them see the power of the Jiangnan, so that he will never dare to underestimate our Jiangnan land!" ”
Xu Sheng nodded, so Xu Sheng asked people to get off the boat and come to Jiangbei'an, saying that he would invite Sun Quan to board the ship to visit the Jiangnan together. The messenger ran to Jiangbei'an, Sun Quan wanted to board the ship, but Zhou Yu said that this might be Huang Zu's strategy, if Sun Quan went ashore, they would put Sun Quan under house arrest, and the land of the two counties would be someone else's cyst!
So Sun Quan refused Xu Sheng's invitation. Sun Quan asked Xu Sheng to show Xuzhou's latest warship on the Yangtze River, so Xu Sheng docked at the riverside and went to visit Sun Quan in person.
Two days after docking at the riverside, Sun Quan agreed to hold a drill by the riverside. So Sun Quan sent more than 30 warships to test the power of the Jiangnan. said that it was a test ship, but Zhou Yu had already ordered that if there was a chance to board the Jiangnan, he would take the Jiangnan as his own! Xu Sheng knew that Sun Quan was attentive, so when the acting began, more than 30 battleships ran towards the Jiangnan separately, the ships were getting closer and closer, Xu Sheng wanted to use the main gun to knock out the opponent's battleship, but Huang Zu, who was familiar with the battleship, stopped him.
Huang Zu knew that Sun Quan had purchased a large warship from Xuzhou, and that warship had not yet come out, so he could not show his true strength. Seeing that the Jiangnan did not return fire, the four medium-sized warships continued to move towards the Jiangnan. The soldiers on the ship kept reporting the distance of the other side, and when the second round of seven warships entered the range of Taoling's new guns, Huang Zu ordered the first round of guns to be lowered and the second round of guns to be raised, so that two groups of warships could be hit at the same time.
The sound of cannons from the sea was the sound of the third-generation Taoling cannon equipped by Sun Quan's warship, but such a long distance was not within the range of the third-generation gun, so Sun Quan's warship could only continue to move forward.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and a monstrous wave was set off on the sea, and two rows of nearly 30 guns fired in unison, instantly blowing up the Yangtze River and shaking, just an instant, Sun Quan's seven battleships were blown up and sunk into the Yangtze River. Looking at the power of the Yangtze River, Sun Quan and the others, who were far away on the shore, gasped.
However, Xu Sheng and Huang Zu on the boat were also frightened and gasped! More than 30 cannons were fired at once, and the recoiled force was amazing, and the Jiangnan instantly fell to the Jiangnan side under such a strong reaction force. As the Jiangnan tilted, more than 30 cannons on the north side also rowed from the splint to the south side of the ship. Many soldiers fell on the splints, and the fallen cannons smashed them into pulp! If it weren't for Xu Sheng hiding in the bow of the boat, he might have been crushed to death by this cannon.
As the waves on the Yangtze River kept flipping, the Jiangnan was even more inclined and was about to collapse. The boat capsized before it reached Jiujiang Mansion, and Xu Shengneng cried to death! Just because of the installation of x, Xuzhou wasted millions of taels of silver, if Tao Ying knew about it, it would be strange if he didn't behead a few of them!
Looking at the scene in front of him, Xu Sheng hurriedly ordered all the soldiers to stand on the north side of the ship, and more than 400 soldiers hurriedly climbed to the north side of the ship at the risk of being stoned to death, but they still couldn't stop the ship from tilting. Seeing that the ship was about to capsize, suddenly Huang Zu shouted: "Governor, put the cannon in the south!" Xu Sheng hurriedly ordered the cannon to be released in the south, and there was another loud bang for a while, and the cannon in the south blew the cannon into the water, and the huge recoil force pushed back the Jiangnan that was about to be dumped.
Although the ship came over, the south side of the ship was injured by the explosion of the cannon right next to the ship. By the time the ship stabilized, the splints were already in shambles. Looking at the messy scattering of the cannon in the center of the ship, Xu Sheng hurriedly asked people to check the situation of the ammunition, and there was no problem with the ammunition. It took a long time for the hull to calm down, and after the wind and waves calmed down, Sun Quan on the shore seemed to have seen the clues, so Huang Zu hurriedly suggested canceling the drill, and then quickly passed away Jiujiang Mansion, and then invited someone to continue to transform the Jiangnan after Jiujiang Mansion.
