Chapter 420: Commander of the Navy
"What about the father and son?"
Hua Xiong asked with a smile.
"They're already in custody."
Budugen hurriedly said.
Hua Xiong nodded with satisfaction, "You guys did a good job, take me to meet them." ”
was praised by him like this, and the two of them only felt that their bones were a little lighter, and they were flattered,
"Okay, King Wei, we'll take you there."
In the damp and dim prison, Kebineng, quasi-negative karma and others had haggard faces.
After hearing the footsteps, they raised their heads, and when they saw Hua Xiong appear in front of them, they couldn't help but widen their eyes.
"You...... You ......"
Budugen on the side moved a stool.
Hua Xiong sat on it, smiling at Kebineng and quasi-bad karma,
"How's it going, isn't it a surprise, a surprise?"
Kebineng's face was pale.
Earlier, he was still wondering why the Han army suddenly had so many more artillery during the battle of the Krulun River.
Now it seems that Budugen and Leak Back to the Mud, who have long had private dealings with Huaxiong.
It was they who put the artillery units of the Han army over, and the battle of the Krulun River would cause heavy casualties on their side!
"Because two traitors lost to you, I don't accept it!"
Kebi can grit his teeth and say authentically.
"Do you think you're just because of two traitors?"
Hua Xiong laughed, his smile full of irony.
"No, you wouldn't have been able to defeat me without the two of them."
"Why?"
Kebi was able to glare at Hua Xiong.
"My Great Han country is strong, especially what you barbarians can defeat?"
Hua Xiong showed a contemptuous smile,
"Remember, those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away!"
Kebi was silent for a long time, and then his expression was complicated,
"What are you going to do with us?"
"Behead the public."
Hua Xiong spat out these four words.
Kebineng and quasi-bad karma turned pale and couldn't say a word.
"If any of you is willing to take refuge in my great man, he will be spared the death penalty."
Hua Xiong looked at Wu Chenyi and the others.
They hurried to show their faithfulness,
"We do, we do!"
"Yes, yes, we are forced to follow Kebineng!"
Seeing this, Kobi Neng showed a miserable smile and closed his eyes tightly.
……
Next.
Xianbei Shan Yu Kebineng and his son quasi-bad karma, because of repeated offenses, were beheaded in public to show the public!
Huaxiong then divided the steppe into three autonomous regions, each of which sent personnel to teach the nomadic language, script, and system, and to reform them.
As for the Lou Ban Shan Yu, Bu Du Gen, and Leak to the mud, Hua Xiong did not treat them badly.
The three of them also hold the highest levels of governorship in the three autonomous regions.
After this battle, northern China was completely pacified, and there was no longer a threat!
Huaxiong's prestige has increased again!
……
After a long journey of several days, Hua Xiong led his army back to Luoyang City.
After a few days of enjoying a leisurely time, he devoted himself to official business after making out with the beauties of the house for a few days.
this day.
Hua Xiong was drinking tea in the lobby.
Zhou Cang walked into the lobby,
"Lord, Gan Ning asks to see."
"Let him in."
Hua Xiong nodded.
After a while, the burly Gan Ning strode in and saluted Hua Xiong,
"The last will meet the lord!"
"Xingba, sit down."
Hua Xiong greeted casually,
"Do you know why I transferred you back from the front?"
"I don't know."
Gan Ning shook his head, his face a little dazed.
He was stationed in Wancheng with Zhang Xiu and others, but he was suddenly ordered by Hua Xiong to be transferred back to Luoyang, so he was also a little confused.
"Let me ask you, if you want to go south to attack Jingzhou and Jiangdong, what preparations do you need to make?"
Hua Xiong said with a smile.
Gan Ning touched his chin and groaned,
"There are many water systems in the south, if you want to attack them, you must have a naval army......"
At this point, his eyes lit up,
"The lord sent me back, isn't it to form a water army?"
"Not bad!"
Hua Xiong nodded and smiled,
"That's it."
It was for this reason that he stopped the offensive after he captured Hefei.
Further south, there is the Yangtze River system.
If there is no water army, it will be much more difficult to face Sun Quan.
Because of this, Hua Xiong chose to negotiate peace with Sun Quan and others, free up his hands, and first clean up the Xianbei in the north.
Now that Xianbei has been pacified, it is natural to think about dealing with Sun Quan and Liu Biao.
"Of all my generals, you are the only one who is the best at water warfare. Therefore, you are indispensable in the formation of a water army.
When the time comes, the post of commander of the Navy will be handed over to you. ”
Hua Xiong said with a smile.
Gan Ning's face suddenly turned happy, and he bowed and said,
"The last general will naturally do his best to assist the lord!"
Hua Xiong smiled with satisfaction and asked,
"Then you say, what should you do in the first step when forming a water army?"
Gan Ning knew that this was Hua Xiong's test for himself, so he didn't dare to answer rashly.
He pondered for a long time, and then he looked up and said,
"I think the most important thing is to have a warship."
Hua Xiong laughed and said,
"You're right, it's a warship!"
Nowadays, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the imperial court, and they only need to be trained to become a qualified sailor.
But ships are not so easy to come by, and even the smallest ships can take months to make.
"Today, I will take you to visit the new warship of the Han Dynasty with me."
As soon as he heard this, Gan Ning was suddenly full of anticipation, and hurriedly urged,
"Lord, then what are we waiting for, why don't we hurry up."
Hua Xiong got up with a smile, and took Gan Ning and Zhou Cang to the research institute of the Ordnance Division by Luoshui outside the city.
There are three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and the security is extremely strict.
The more they walked inside, the more curious Gan Ning and the others became.
"Lord!"
Huang Yueying, Ding Shuai, and several senior craftsmen from the Ordnance Department came forward.
"We're here today to see the new warship."
Hua Xiong said with a smile.
"My lord comes with me."
Huang Yueying smiled at Hua Xiong and led them deeper into the depths.
In the middle of the research institute, the Ordnance Department sent someone to dig a large pit to lead Luoshui up.
At this moment, in the middle of the lake, a warship as tall as a building was quietly parked there.
Gan Ning glanced at it and couldn't help but open his mouth wide in surprise.
It took a long time to recover from the shock and sighed from the bottom of my heart,
"This ...... This warship......... What a weapon for naval warfare! ”
As a veteran of water warfare, he saw at a glance the advantages of this new warship.
The bow of the warship is high, and it has a strong impact device, and the whole body is defended with iron sheets, so it is not afraid of the impact of other ships.
There are three floors on the deck, and the upper two floors are built with a "women's wall" about three feet high, which serves as a military shelter for soldiers, and at the same time, arrow holes are opened in the wall to facilitate shooting.
And the bottom layer is surrounded by a ring of artillery, which can attack enemies on all sides!
Naval warfare today is either a ship ramming each other or engaging in broadside combat.
However, the new station ship is equipped with so many guns, which can be said to have completely changed the operational concept of naval warfare!
