Chapter 66: Cao Jun's Road.
"Lao Cao, do you know what you are doing most now?"
Lin Chuan opened his mouth and said indifferently:
"It's not farming, it's mining!"
"Mining will take down the surrounding princes and unify the land of Kyushu as soon as possible."
"If you can't unify it, no matter how much food you grow, you won't be able to move an inch."
Cheng Yu was a little puzzled:
"But the people regard food as the sky, and if they fill the stomachs of the people, those princes will surely lose the hearts of the people."
"When the time comes, it may not be self-defeating."
Lin Chuan smiled bitterly:
"Lao Cheng, you are very wrong to think so."
"The people are full, and those princes are not fools, and they will definitely send fine works to get seeds."
"Once the seeds come out, you don't have that advantage."
"What we have to do now is to take advantage of their inattention, take them by surprise, and recover reunification as soon as possible."
Hearing Lin Chuan's words, everyone suddenly fell silent.
Actually, it's not that the Wenchen under Cao Cao couldn't come up with this idea.
It is just because the concept of a strong country with agriculture is too deep-rooted, and they all believe that as long as agriculture is done well first, everything can be done in the future.
But after Lin Chuan's analysis, coupled with the appearance of the steelmaking furnace, it disrupted their thoughts.
Now it seems that what Lin Chuan said is extremely reasonable.
These are all things that Lin Chuan himself came up with when he had nothing to do on the island.
If you want Cao Cao to be quickly unified, you must first develop force.
In the era of cold weapons such as the Three Kingdoms, steel is particularly important, and even if it enters the era of hot weapons in the future, steel is also indispensable.
"I wonder what other ideas the young man has?"
Cao Cao understood that he would definitely not lose money on this trip.
Cao Cao himself came over, just to hear Lin Chuan's opinion.
This trip to the desert island learned what happened next, and Cao Cao completely rejected his previous plans.
Lin Chuan smiled:
"Lao Cao, now we still have to develop the mining industry first, and let people mine and make steel to arm the army."
"Remember, you must wear a mask when mining, otherwise miners can easily get pneumoconiosis, which is basically incurable."
Lin Chuan said, and Cheng Yu hurried to record it.
Cheng Yu asked while recording:
But if that's the case, who's going to farm? Agriculture must not stand still. ”
Lin Chuan smiled indifferently:
"Definitely not, but none of the seeds I've given you need much care."
"You just need to ensure the fertility of the land, don't cut off the water, each family only needs one person, and you can suspend mining during the harvest season."
"With iron ore, you have resources at hand, so that you can make weapons."
"If you treat the princes, you still have to focus on the north, and the Sun-Liu coalition army can't fight now."
Lin Chuan also roughly understood the current situation.
In the south, there were Shi Xie, Sun Quan and Liu Bei, as well as Liu Zhang of Bashu.
In the north, there are only Zhang Lu and Ma Teng, and there are some alien races, such as the Xiongnu.
The Xiongnu can be excluded first, after all, the combat effectiveness of the Xiongnu during the Three Kingdoms period is the real brother.
Under the suppression of the two Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu could not develop at all, and they were even less combative.
At present, it seems that Zhang Lu and Ma Teng are the best solution.
During Guo Jia's lifetime, Liaodong was pacified, but the two princes in the northwest have always been a big problem.
With them, even if the southern expedition is like a fish in the throat, it is very likely to be stabbed in the back.
Especially in Xiliang, although Xiliang is bitter and barren, it is rich in horses, and the cavalry is particularly fierce and has strong combat ability.
If you don't take precautions, then the Xiliang Iron Cavalry will rush to the north, and Cao Cao will have no place to cry at that time.
And Zhang Lu, although his strength is far inferior to Xiliang, is also a big force.
In Hanzhong, he founded the Wudou Rice Sect, and it was not easy to deal with it.
Lin Chuan simply showed Cao Cao and the others his previous plan.
The first thing to do is to divide the world in two.
Shi Xie is basically not a combat power, at most he is a rich man, and his soldiers are not vulnerable at all, don't care about him, maybe he will be destroyed by one of Sun and Liu.
After solving the problem in the north, the target can turn to Bashu.
Bashu is rugged, but the improved version of the cavalry three-piece set given by Lin Chuan, plus the Miao Dao weapon dedicated to the horse, can easily deal with it.
Bashu is rich and especially suitable for planting and developing agriculture.
Taking Bashu is equivalent to having logistics guaranteed.
When the time comes, you will have the strength to slowly develop the naval division, so as to attack the south.
Lin Chuan didn't understand this matter of military training, but Lin Chuan had the skills to improve weapons and equipment.
These are the most effective in the north, but in water warfare it is different.
After such an analysis by Lin Chuan, everyone suddenly seemed to see the sun.
Now it seems that the development of mining is the top priority!
However, it takes too much money to do this.
Today's Cao Cao doesn't have that much money.
Mining manpower alone is extremely troublesome, not to mention craftsmen.
These are money everywhere.
When it comes to this, Cao Cao suddenly has a head and two big.
Due to the successive wars, Cao Cao's savings were enough to raise the army, and there was not much left.
"So Lao Cao, the first thing you have to deal with now is Zhang Lu."
"Zhang Lu has more food and fewer soldiers, and he has a lot of savings, so he is a rich man."
"Send troops to destroy Zhang Lu, and you will have money."
Lin Chuan continued.
Now Cao Cao understands why Lin Chuan said first to kill Zhang Lu, co-authoring is this reason.
Compared with Xiliang, Zhang Lu is definitely easier to handle, and Hanzhong is not easy to defend and difficult to attack, but Zhang Lu has always been low-key, plus Sun and Liu are frequently active.
Therefore, Cao Cao's eyes were almost all caught by Liu Bei and Sun Quan.
"As for weapons, I've got some good weapons here."
Lin Chuan changed his words and took out all the drawings on the side.
Hidden arrows, repeater crossbows, military shovels, and Mitsubishi military thorns.
These are basically modern or later weapons, which are very practical and can arm individual soldiers to the teeth.
Not only that, Lin Chuan also engaged in a set of training methods.
These are the training methods of the special forces of later generations.
During the Three Kingdoms period, there was a shortage of people, although Cao Cao had an army of 800,000 troops, most of them were not high in combat effectiveness, which is the reason why soldiers were inferior to generals.
A well-trained general can deal with more than a hundred soldiers.
Lin Chuan saw that he couldn't understand, so he simply lay on the ground and did a few push-ups:
"That's what push-ups are."
Xu Chu on the side couldn't help but be stunned, and said:
"What's so hard about this thing? Can you exercise people? ”
After all, Xu Chu also made a few.
It's simple, it's very easy.
"Then you can try to do three or four hundred in a row."
Lin Chuan raised his eyebrows slightly and gestured.
Xu Chu suddenly pouted and said:
"At this level, what can three or four hundred do?"
