Chapter 313: Chaohu

Early the next morning, Wang Qiang was woken up by Su Su: "It's time to Wuhu." ”

For this place name, Wang Qiang was confused: "And then? ”

Su Su pointed to a fork in the river on the north bank of the river: "Wet Whiskers!" ”

Wang Qiang was shaken: "Zhang Liaowei shook the place of Yaojin!" ”

At this time, it was Zhou Tai's shift change, and he said angrily: "Can you not always mention this person?" ”

Su Su smiled: "Okay, then don't mention it." The mouth of the water that connects to Chaohu Lake is the Xuxu River, and now it has been changed to the Yuxi River, the pronunciation is almost the same, and it is a lot easier to read, but unfortunately it is not famous. Chaohu Lake is Hefei, which is not only the main attack base of Cao Cao's attack on Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms, but also the base of the Ming Dynasty's sailors, and also the Huai Army base of Li Hongzhang, a Hefei man who was the prime minister of the Qing Dynasty, and the location is very important. ”

Wang Qiang nodded again and again when he heard this.

Su Su smiled: "Oh what? This is the predecessor base of Zheng He's fleet. By the way, Brother Qiang has always wanted to toss Xia Wei's dragon boat, and Xia Wei's hometown is Chaohu. ”

At this moment, Yang Guang ran out of the painting again: "Build a dragon boat?" Look for me! What dragon boats can Xia Wei do in such ancient times? ”

What my brother wants is ancient! Wang Qiang was stunned and said, "Your Majesty Yang knows how to build a ship?" ”

Su Su said with a smile: "If the carpenter emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Ming Dynasty said that he could build ships, I would still believe it, and His Majesty Yang would say that he could build ships, but I would not believe it." ”

Yang Guang coughed dryly: "I haven't raised pigs, but I've eaten pork!" At the very least, I can point out the shortcomings of taste. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Guang immediately pulled away from this embarrassing topic: "Wang Qiang, I want to test you, why is the location of Chaohu so important." ”

Wang Qiang frowned and smiled proudly: "After so many days of edification, my brother is no longer Wuxia Ameng, of course, it is convenient for logistics to transport grain!" ”

Yang Guang laughed: "I answered correctly, but there was no award." ”

Speaking of this, Yang Guang sighed with emotion: "In ancient wars, logistics was very important, if it was by land, if you want to transport grain to 100,000 troops, you must also have tens of thousands of people's ox carts, and these tens of thousands of people also have to eat, and they are still walking slowly, only walking dozens of miles a day, and walking for a month without walking hundreds of miles, the grain will be eaten, how to fight?" ”

Wang Qiang immediately answered: "So we must occupy the waterway, ship to transport grain, and it takes a few people to drive the boat, and the transportation is more and faster." ”

Yang Guang said with a smile: "Exactly, so although the Yangtze River is long, there are very few places where it can be used, and Cao Cao's fight against Eastern Wu is only two main battlefields, Jingzhou and Hefei." The former Qin Fujian wanted to destroy the Eastern Jin Dynasty's battle of Weishui was also in this part of Hefei, the Mongols destroyed the Song Dynasty from Jingzhou down the river, and the Qing Dynasty when Zeng Guo destroyed the Taiping army also took Anqing down the river and down the momentum like a bamboo, as long as the waterway was controlled, the logistics line and the troop transport line were controlled. In ancient times, wars were fought by waterways. ”

Yang Guang sighed again: "It's a pity that there is no waterway for me to crusade against Goguryeo, and the logistical pressure is too great, and those bastards are deliberately dragging their feet in transporting grain, how can they not be defeated?" ”

Wang Qiang sighed: "Yes." ”

Su Su said with a smile: "Therefore, the unification of China since ancient times has been the unification of the north with the south, and the water network in the south is vertical and horizontal, and this battle is too easy to fight." The south can't beat the north, and the Song Dynasty can't just recover the Central Plains, it's all logistical trouble. It's not just ancient times, look at the 20,000 US troops in Afghanistan now, there are no waterways, and Pakistan has cut off land transportation for them, so they will be airlifted, and the US treasury has been tossed and choked by air in the past ten years. ”

Wang Qiang frowned: "Didn't Su Su say that the Afghan U.S. military is growing opium?" That's a lot of income! Can it offset the deficit of the national treasury? ”

Yang Guang sneered: "The income from opium belongs to the CIA, what does it matter to the US treasury?" The CIA, like the U.S. Marine Corps, receives its salaries from the U.S. treasury, but its income is self-sufficient and not even under the command of the U.S. government. It's my Chinese fortune to have such a guy in existence. ”

Su Su smiled: "Brother Qiang, who is the biggest drug dealer in the world?" ”

Wang Qiang was shocked: "CIA? ”

Su Su sighed: "I got it right, but I didn't win it." ”
