Chapter 112: Prepare for another battle

LĂź Bu wanted to produce the famous English longbow in history.

This is because it is too time-consuming and expensive to make a composite angle bow.

But with a longbow, it's just ridiculously cheap, and it's not much more effective.

The longbow is an arc, and its principle is very simple, which is to increase the draw distance, so as to increase the range and power.

You must know that the British Empire was originally just a remote island on the European continent. The population is small and is often bullied.

It was because of this longbow that the British Empire dominated the European continent.

This led to the creation of an unprecedented empire on which the sun never sets, making the English language popular all over the world.

In the era of cold weapons, bows and arrows have always been the most powerful and powerful weapons.

Originally, due to the lack of bowstring materials such as cow tendons, Lu Bu has been unable to vigorously produce bows and crossbows.

Now that there are cow tendons from the Japanese Kingdom, South America, and even from the grasslands, Lu Bu has no shortage of bowstring materials.

On the contrary, there was a shortage of materials for bow-making again.

If it is made of ordinary wood, although the effect is there, it will definitely not meet the requirements in Lu Bu's mind.

The best material for making bows is yew wood. Secondly, elm, ash, oak and other materials can also be substituted.

Previously, Lu Bu had always used elm wood to make it.

The effect is not bad, the range can reach two hundred steps, that is, a distance of three hundred meters.

Such a distance is already very awesome. As long as the covering blow is blowing, it can completely destroy almost all the kingdoms in the world today.

But Lu Bu is a perfectionist person, and what he wants most is yew wood.

After many investigations, I finally learned that there are a lot of yew trees in Yangjiao Erzhou.

Many of Koto's bows and arrows are made of yew.

But how can I get yew wood from Koto?

If he asked for a large number of purchases, Koto would definitely investigate, and he would naturally be able to deduce that he wanted to make a bow.

This is military strategic material, how could Jiangdong possibly give it.

Then, Sun Quan can only be supplied with the same things that are enough to impress, and Sun Quan will exchange.

And the only material that Lu Bu can think of is coal.

Because there is no coal in Jiangdong, even if there is coal in Bashu, no one has mined it now.

Nowadays, there is coal, but only Lu Bu has it. It can be said that even in the whole world, only Lu Bu took the lead in using coal.

Soon, the envoy came to Jiangdong, and after reading the number of yews that Lu Bu requested, how could Sun Quan not be shocked.

Sun Quan was naturally not stupid, and quickly guessed that Lu Bu was going to make a bow. Because if it's just making furniture, it's definitely not going to be obtained diplomatically.

What Sun Quan couldn't figure out was that Lu Buyagen was not short of bows. Besides, you even have cannons, why do you make so many bows?

If you look at this number, if you use it all to make bows, you can at least make millions of bows, okay?

What's the use of making so many bows, do you have so many armies?

Lao Tzu Jiangdong only has a total of 100,000 bows.

However, Lu Bu's conditions made it difficult for Sun Quan to refuse.

Look what he's got, coal, coal, coal!

During this time, Sun Quan had already understood.

A high-powered steam engine must be burned with coal.

With wood, hehe, the blower does not blow your face of ash.

And Sun Quan, who was determined to create a steam engine, didn't need coal.

It's not that Sun Quan hasn't sent someone to look for him in Yangzhou, and Yagen doesn't have a trace of coal.

He didn't know where it was, and he couldn't have people dig all over the mountains.

So, Sun Quan had to accept the deal.

Moreover, with coal, Jiangdong's smelting technology can also be upgraded to a higher level.

The deal was reached, how Lu Bu didn't like it. In this way, the bow and arrow reserves are no longer worried.

And with the current material reserves, they can support him to start a war.

The main thing is that Lu Bu also wants to get a little more slaves.

With his current population of the three states of Xu and Qing, he was enough to manage millions of slaves.

Let's not talk about mining or anything, it's good to just build roads!

The excavator digs the big head, and the slave flats the small head, so that the road embryo can be dug out.

Later, with enough resources, it is possible to rebuild concrete or asphalt roads.

As long as the road is dug out, although it is bumpy, the big truck can drive.

And now with the airship mapping map, the road planning is simply perfect.

What's more, Lu Bu could have asked to dig a big road and dig a wide road from the beginning.

We must not have all kinds of special traffic jams, traffic jams, and traffic jams in the future.

While looking at the world map, Lu Bu convened several ministers to discuss the next military plan.

Of course, Lu Bu will not fight the Winter War again, but after the beginning of spring.

The target chosen by Lu Bu was Yizhou (later Shiwan Island).

During the Han Dynasty, Zhuyazhou (Hainan Island) in the south was occupied by the Han Dynasty during Liu Che's time. However, due to the isolation of the coast, it later became independent again in the Liu Zheng era.

According to history, in 230 AD, Sun Quan sent the generals Wei Wen and Zhuge Zhi to lead an army of 20,000 people to conquer Dongyi.

In 242 AD, Zhuya Prefecture was recovered.

The coast of Zhuyazhou was too close, and Lu Bu didn't want to waste time and effort to conquer it, so he was ready to throw it to Sun Quan to conquer.

Therefore, Lu Bu's goal was set on Yizhou.

Because Sun Quan occupied Yizhou, this was the first time that Bay Island was included in the territory of the Han Dynasty. It's just a pity that it became independent later, and the Jin Dynasty couldn't control it at all. It was not until the Ming Dynasty that it returned for the second time. Then, later generations understood and became independent several times.

So, how could Lu Bu call him arrogant.

In fact, the current Yizhou is not unified, but there are three forces.

They are Dongan, Yizhou, and Lanzhou.

At the beginning, Sun Quan could conquer with 20,000 troops, so how could Lu Bu not conquer it.

Similarly, because of the historical complex, this time Lu Bu is going to be in person.

Fortunately, it was not too far away, and none of the ministers objected.

Besides, do they object to use, fart does not.

Lu Bu is what he says, they only have to obey orders.

In this way, the Lu Bu group once again prepared all kinds of materials for the war.

And now that the Han country has stabilized, Lu Bu ordered Guan Cheng to bring 20,000 navies and 30,000 Han colonial troops to return to the East China Sea to standby.

There were 7,000 Han troops in the Han country, which was enough to maintain the stability of the Han country. As the colonial policy became more established, it would be possible to manage it with fewer troops.

Of course, these policies were implemented by LĂź Bu in conjunction with the policies of the British Empire.

It's just that, standing on the basis of his predecessors, Lu Bu's policies will be more complete and effective.

Winter went to spring, and Guan Cheng led 50,000 troops back to Xuzhou.

Guan Chengzi came to see Lu Bu in person.

How can Lu Bu not like it: "General Guan, are you still willing to expand your territory with this king?" ”

Guan Cheng saluted instantly: "The last general will never give up!" ”

"Hahahaha!" Lu Bu laughed: "Okay, this king will feast his ministers today and wash the dust for General Guan!" ”
