According to Liu Mang's idea, since the artillery can be built, then build a little more, come with a thousand eight hundred guns, and if the enemy directly pulls it out to bombard his mother, he doesn't believe it, what city can withstand the bombardment of these 3,000 respect cannons.

But it is obvious that Liu Mang's idea is good, but the reality is very backbone, just like Liu Mang, who was cheap at the beginning, his father-in-law looted most of the wealth left by Yangzhou, and he can't withstand Liu Mang's consumption.

To know a cannon of three thousand. The cost of that alone is 900 gold, and all aspects are like gunpowder, frames, and projectiles, which add up to a higher price.

If you build a thousand, 800 gates, don't have more than 1,000 gates, then Yangzhou will have to go bankrupt.

Who can afford one million gold, fortunately, Mi Zhu and others and Liu Ye and others dissuaded Liu Mang, otherwise Liu Mang would really want to play such a play.

In the end, I compromised, and I didn't get 1,800 cannons, but there were still 150 of the 3,000 cannons. Even if only fifty more doors are added, Mi Zhu is crying and leaving, fifty doors are 50,000 gold, this is not a small number, at the beginning, a second prince of Jiangdong Sun Quan was only 10,000 gold, not even one-fifth of here.

Naturally, these 3,000 giant cannons could not be used as artillery for the army, because he was too heavy, and it would take at least two or three horses to fight horses, so they were replaced with 1,000 small cannons. 500 small cannons for 1,000 statues. This kind of thousand small cannons, it is enough to pull a war horse with a carriage, a cannon can run, and finally a carriage will be made. This speed doesn't need to be too much, and it can keep up with the big troops.

Three thousand cannons, Liu Mang left eight on the head of Shouchun City, one side and two on the side, of course, the deterrence is stronger than his practicality. If there is an enemy attacking the city. All it takes is a cannon to go off. The enemy has to be frightened, and several other important cities such as Anhui City, Jiangxia Jiujiang, and even Hao Shao's Yangtze River Water Village are like this.

Thousands of small cannons, Liu Mang took out two hundred guns and set him up with an artillery, this artillery is not luxurious, it is really made of gold, each cannon is three hundred and fifty gold, a cannon needs a war horse to pull and thirty gold, and a cannon needs an igniter. Three loaders, one cleaner is four people, two hundred small cannons is eight hundred, plus the heavy armor foot that has become a guard, Liu Mang allocated the scale of two thousand people, and the world's first artillery unit was formed.

"My lord, what about the rest of the artillery?" Xu Shu on the side thought that these cannons were either used for city defense, and the three thousand giant cannons were difficult to move, so it was absolutely easy to fix them on the city wall, and a cannon could increase the firing range if they went down. But he didn't expect Liu Mang to equip Yangzhou City with 3,000 cannons. Not even the small cannons of the Thousand Statues were all taught to the Army.

"The remaining three hundred cannons and one hundred three thousand cannons were all allocated to the navy." Liu Mang said to Xu Shu and the others on the side.

"What?" Xu Shu was obviously stunned, one hundred three thousand cannons and three hundred thousand small cannons were all given to the navy? He Xu Shu didn't hear it wrong. What do you need these cannons for? Don't they have bed crossbows?

"Yuan Zhi, you naturally heard it right, these cannons were originally designed for warships!" Liu Mang said to Liu Ye on the side, "Ziyang take out your drawings, teach our minister, and let our minister give you a budget before you can build a warship!" ”

Whether it is the manufacture of warships or cannons, Liu Mang cannot be alone, so these are all things that Xu Shu needs to do, so that Xu Shu can deduce how much money Yangzhou can come up with. Liu Mang is reluctant to be alone not because he wants to let his subordinates exercise more freely, but because he doesn't want to be too tired.

"These ships?" As soon as Xu Shu saw this drawing, he was a little dizzy, because the information marked on the warship in front of him was too shocking to Xu Shu.

"The eleven masts?" Xu Shu looked at the masts of the sails on this side to reach eleven, and if he looked at the comparison on the side, the size of this warship should be about 1,500 tons, that is, about five times larger than the main warship that Liu Mang is using now.

"How can an inland river be navigated by a warship of this size?" Xu Shu asked Liu Mang in surprise.

"This ship is not in the middle of the river, he is the real sea ship!" The Galen ship that Liu Mang made before was not a sea ship in the real sense, he was more practical in the inland river, and they went to sea just to wander slowly along the coastline, where did they dare to go to sea.

"Sea vessels?" Xu Shu is even more confused, you have nothing to do with a sea boat, "Lord, our current ship is enough!" "For people now, beyond the sea is still Yiren, a barren place, and now they should be at ease to dominate the Central Plains and the north, instead of going to sea.

"As far as the small boats in Gan Ning's hands are at most leather rows, how can they be regarded as sea boats! That's what I want. Liu Mang asked Gan Ning to send people out to explore Taiwan and Hainan, which had not yet been discovered, but the ship went out, and a few ships sank a few, or a Yangzhou navy was lucky, and was pushed back by the tide, only to know that their boats were sunk by the waves halfway through, and everyone didn't want to feed the sharks.

That's why Liu Mang wants to build this sea ship. Liu Mang's drawings to Xu Shu are the drawings of the Sea Military Power, this warship is an outstanding sail warship conquered by Europeans in the sea, his displacement is 1,500 tons, the total length is about 70 meters, the draft is between 5 meters and 6 meters, and the speed is about 10 knots.

It is impossible for Liu Mang to completely imitate the military-class battleship, after all, this is a work of art. The original load of the military class was supposed to be a warship, with 100 cannons, 20 60-pounder guns, 8 30-pounder guns, 32 18-pounder guns, and 44 9-pounder guns.

Liu Mang's warships could not meet this requirement, and he now only had 100 cannons of 3,000 cannons and 1,000 small cannons of 300 guns, and these 3,000 cannons were only 18 pounds, and the 1,000 cannons were probably about 9 pounds.

"How much does this ship cost?" Xu Shu looked at Liu Mang and asked, he didn't believe that this lord would take out such a thing and not estimate it.

"Yuan Zhi, our Ministry of Industry has already estimated. Timber is taken locally. It's about 80,000 gold. Liu Ye estimated that it was because Yangzhou had not yet built such a huge warship. Therefore, all the shipyards have to be dismantled and rebuilt, which is so expensive, if the first one is built with experience, then the price of one is about 50,000 gold.

"Eighty thousand gold?" Xu Shu even had the heart to kill Liu Ye and Liu Mang, but fortunately, Mi Zhu was not here, if Mi Zhu was here, he would have fainted in fright.

"Yuan Zhi, Yuan Zhi. I can tell you that once this military power number is built, it will only make money and not lose money, Yuan Zhi, you know, what is the land after Jiaozhou! ”

"South Vietnam!" Xu Shu said that when the Qin Dynasty was about to fall, Zhao Tuo, the governor of Nanhai County, raised troops to annex Guilin County and Xiang County, and later established the Nanyue Kingdom in about 203 BC. In 196 BC, Zhao Tuo declared himself a vassal to the emperor Liu Bang of the Western Han Dynasty, and Nanyue became a "foreign minister" of the Western Han Dynasty. About 183 BC, the Nanyue Kingdom and the Western Han Dynasty became enemies, and Zhao Tuo began to claim the emperor, and then he became the emperor. Minyue, Yelang, Tongshi and other countries all belonged to the Nanyue State, and the influence of the Nanyue State expanded to the peak. 179 BC. Nanyue reconciled with the Western Han Dynasty, and Zhao Tuo once again proclaimed himself a vassal to the Western Han Emperor Emperor Wen of Han. In 113 BC, Zhao Xing, the fourth-generation monarch of the Nanyue Kingdom, had a dispute with Prime Minister Lü Jia because of his request for "internal subordinates" from the Western Han Dynasty. Lü Jia killed Zhao Xing, made his brother Zhao Jiande the new monarch, and confronted the Western Han Dynasty. In 112 BC, Emperor Wu of Han, the monarch of the Western Han Dynasty, sent 100,000 troops to launch a war against Nanyue, and destroyed Nanyue in 111 BC, setting up nine counties. The state of Nanyue coexisted for 93 years and went through five generations of monarchs.

Xu Shu knew about Nanyue, that was because Nanyue was finally destroyed by the Han Dynasty, it can be said that there are a lot of territories in Jiangdong that were the land of Nanyue at the beginning, and some of the Nanyue people were integrated into the Han people and became Baiyue.

Some of them continued south.

"This South Vietnam further south, that is where some small countries are located just like the current Western Regions, once this passage is opened, then we can open up the Silk Road on the sea, with these sea ships, we can make the hundreds of countries on the road surrender to us and supply to us, and then we are afraid that there will be no money!" Liu Mang's words had already moved Xu Shu.

If you tell Xu Shu that there are endless gold, silver and jewelry south of Nanyue, Xu Shu may think that you are coaxing him, but if you tell Xu Shu about the Silk Road, Xu Shu will be able to shine with his eyes.

After the Yumen Pass, that is the direction of the Western Regions ahead, before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who could have known that there were so many small countries in the Western Regions, like what Yelang, Yue, and Da Yue, Loulan, these are all small countries in the Western Regions, although these small countries in the Western Regions are small, but they are rich, and trade with them, as long as they carry silk, they can exchange for endless treasures.

"Has the lord ever understood the countries of this sea?" Xu Shu asked suspiciously.

"No!" Liu Mang also doesn't know much about this area of Southeast Asia at the end of the Han Dynasty, after all, at this time, the Han people who can record the history books are busy fighting, and they don't have time to pay attention to you, those who have kung fu are basically from the monkey class, and they don't even have words, what do you ask him to record, so this paragraph is simply a blank.

However, Liu Mang is not discouraged, although he doesn't know what the current culture of these Southeast Asian countries is, but he knows that going south is definitely beneficial, and the location of those gold and silver mines should not change, not to mention that there is an India over there.

"How much are these ships built?" Xu Shu knew that he couldn't stop the appearance of this sea ship, so he could only see if he could build a few less. He was really afraid that if this Liu Mang's cheap master called another 1,800 ships, it would be over.

"Even if you want to build more, you don't have the money now!" Liu Mang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "He knows that this warship and cannon are almost emptying Yangzhou's savings, let's build three first!" ”

Liu Mang said to Xu Shu, his original plan was three, just one hundred cannons for one thousand cannons, and thirty-three cannons for each of the three thousand cannons, which means that one hundred and thirty-three cannons on top of a military-class battleship, although it is not as good as the military power level in history, but it is enough for more than two hundred years in this park.

"Good! Just three, only three! Xu Shu gritted his teeth and said.

"Naturally, this military power has tested the water three times earlier, so that we can build more and the rest."

"En" Xu Shu was a little flustered, he heard the other words again, he was afraid that his lord would build other warships.

"Yuan Zhi don't panic, Yuan Zhi don't panic, what we want to build here is not a warship, but a merchant ship!" Liu Mang asked Xu Shu to look at the drawings below, looking at this drawing, Xu Shu's heart was slightly settled, and there was also a thousand-ton ship on the drawings, but this big ship was much simpler than the military power level, and the characteristic was fat, no wonder, merchant ships, loaded goods can be good-looking to have ghosts.

"This kind of merchant ship, 2,000 tons, the cost is about 20,000 gold, and the first batch will build three!" There was an extra expenditure of 60,000 gold.

Xu Shu carefully took inventory, and they couldn't even take out 50,000 gold in the treasury of Yangzhou, but fortunately, they had Jiangling as a support, otherwise it would have been over. (To be continued......)
