Soon Han Dang and others discovered that not only Li Yan was coming, but also Wenpin and some generals and colonels who were relatively far away from Sumatra. Just with this kind of gathering of all the people, Cheng Pu and others were stunned. Feeling bad.
It seems that the last time they all gathered together was when they were fighting Selian. What big thing happened? Thinking of this, Cheng Pu and others were a little worried.
"Captain, what big thing happened?" After Huang Gai arrived at the newly built government office in Ye Tiaoguo, he looked at Zhou Yu and asked with some worry.
"Something did happen and we need to deal with it." Zhou Yu nodded to Huang Gai and motioned for Huang Gai to take a seat.
After everyone arrived, Zhou Yu explained what happened in Ganges River to everyone present in a concise and concise manner, and issued a hush-hush order to keep the matter from spreading. However, even so, everyone present could not help but feel a sense of turmoil.
Clan treason? What a joke!
"That's what happened. It has something to do with us. If we had eradicated the root cause, it wouldn't have happened. And if nothing else happens, the other party would still avenge his father if they wanted to, so we can't avoid it this time." Zhou Yu said calmly. .
"I'll go." Wenpin stood up and said, "I have met the princess, so it is most appropriate for me to distinguish the truth from the lies. The outcome of the battle and the truth of the clan's treason are more important."
Winning or losing actually has no impact. Clan treason is a very big blow to the Han Dynasty, so Wenpin feels it is necessary to understand this.
"We are also willing to go with you." A group of generals and civil servants stood up and said in a very formal manner. After receiving so many benefits from the Han Empire, they would naturally step forward when they need to contribute, not to mention the fact that this matter involves Much.
"Bo Fu and I are leading the team, and three generals are stationed here. Our large-scale dispatch will definitely attract Mengkangbu's exploratory attack. Those who stay behind, please be prepared." Zhou Yu saw that everyone was united, I feel better.
Although Zhou Yu really didn't understand the situation on the other side of the Ganges River, no matter what happened, he just went there in person and traced everything back to the source and figured it out.
"Get the punt ready. We can try to take a boat directly into the Kushan Essence Area." Pang Tong suddenly said.
Jiangdong had a plan to attack Kushan by water before, but this plan had always been on the surface and had no chance to be implemented. But this time it was also an opportunity, and the plan was fished out again. Of course, this plan There are certain shortcomings.
"No, in the non-rainy season, it is impossible for our large ships to penetrate into the middle and upper reaches of the Ganges River. If they are only fourth- and fifth-generation ships, we will not have an advantage over the Kushan navy." Lu Fan retorted. He said, "And when the rainy season comes, the other party's big ships will also enter the Ganges River, and the conditions between us will not change much."
The combat capabilities of the Kushan navy have always been good. Including the mounting capacity, the non-naval combat mode of surface combat will only be more advantageous to the Kushan navy. Therefore, the Kushan navy directly enters the middle and upper reaches of the Ganges with fourth- and fifth-generation ships. It didn't make any sense to Lu Fan.
"Mancai, as for you, you should be professional in this aspect." Pang Tong saluted Yan Zhen, and Yan Zhen immediately returned the gift, saying that he did not dare to take it seriously.
It wasn't long before Yan Jun joined Sun Ce. When he joined, the world was almost unified. He didn't have much interaction with Sun Ce, and he didn't perform very well in his subsequent development. However, because he had been working hard to study, He managed education for Sun Ce. After Sun Ce killed Selian, he also organized two islands for Yan Zhen to suppress his panic.
Generally speaking, this kind of talent has money for nothing and is very generous. However, Sun Ce's generosity on the two islands made Yan Zhen think that Sun Ce was worthy of being a hero. Anyway, there was no good development for Liu Bei, so Yan Zhen Zhen worked hard to develop on Sun Ce's side.
Of course, the knowledge Yan Zhen mastered was very partial. Originally, Yan Zhen could compile his knowledge into a book when he was about sixty years old, but now Yan Zhen is rich and well-informed, from East Asia to South Asia, and finally Australia has investigated them all.
So the book that was originally supposed to be produced by Yan Zhen twenty years later has now taken shape, and this book is called "Tide Theory".
Yes, this person specializes in the study of tides, and his level is basically second to everyone of his contemporaries, because this person directly created the subject of tides, but of course this person is not good at other aspects.
"The quasi-seventh-generation ship can enter the Ganges. Although it requires time, it can indeed enter." Yan Zhen calmed everyone when he opened his mouth. If a warship like the quasi-seventh-generation ship can enter the Ganges, then The army is a hammer. Whether a legion of the Guards can withstand naval bombardment is a question.
Even if the current quasi-seventh-generation naval gun is also a castrated version, it can at least be electromagnetic and energy-enhanced, and its power can reach the level of a small nuclear weapon.
The most important thing is that this kind of thing is a gathering of real physical kinetic energy and energy. Cloud Qi can only suppress and resist it, but cannot directly offset it like inner Qi, so it hits the legion very hard!
"How is it possible? The entrance of the Ganges River can still allow seventh-generation ships to enter. They can operate everywhere in the Wenjia area, but entering the middle reaches of the Ganges River is simply impossible." Lu Fan retorted reflexively, "The Ganges River is in the Bay of Bengal. The water depth is okay, but in the Ganges River basin, the water depth is not even three meters, how can this be passed."
"It is possible to travel to the middle reaches of the Ganges River during the rainy season, but it is not necessarily possible. It is still too difficult to get in there with a seventh-generation ship." Lu Dai also followed up and said.
"That's not entirely true. In fact, in stages, during the full moon and at specific points in time, the flood tide pours into the Ganges. In fact, the depth that the seventh-generation ship can penetrate is far beyond the normal level." Yan Zhen said with a solemn expression.
As for the army, there are not many in Jiangdong who can fight. If they compete with the backbone of the Imperial Guard led by Liu Bei, they will lose face, so it is better to be realistic and go directly to their best and strongest navy in Jiangdong.
"It seems that when the tide inflows, the river does overflow." Many generals and commanders in Jiangdong live by the sea, and they have also seen seawater inflow, especially at the trumpet mouth of the Qiantang River. deep impression.
"The Ganges River has a delta. During the full moon and big tides, the bell mouth is filled with water. Under the influence of the tide, the water in the entire Ganges River can reach the level of the rainy season in half a day." Yan Zhen's expression at this moment seemed rigid. It's like the teacher is giving a lecture.
"It seems so. The tide does seem to change with the changes of the moon phase." Jiangdong's generals have basically seen this situation, so Yan Zhen laid out the facts so that everyone can understand.
But what they worry about is, can this trend reach the level they want?
"Let me talk about my observation first. When the position of the moon is in the positive direction, the wave will increase. Especially when the positions of the sun and the moon coincide with the position of the wave, the wave will reach maximum. But this time this year It's too late." Yan Zhen laid out the information he collected and even drew a bunch of pictures to make it as understandable as possible.
"Although I don't understand what it is, but compared with my own memory, I think it's no problem." Huang Gai can also watch the waves without any problem, but Huang Gai doesn't have the consciousness to observe and summarize, but after Yan Zhen pointed out, Huang Gai Comparing with my own impression, I am sure that this is indeed the case.
"I feel like it is the same. My impression of the tide is actually consistent with what Mancai said." Cheng Pu and others lowered their heads and thought for a while, and found that it was indeed similar to what Yan Zhen said.
"So when the moon phase position is here, the wave should be able to reach a level that allows seventh-generation ships to pass. However, according to my calculations, the biggest wave this year should have passed, but there should be two or three more in the next few months. A relatively big wave." Yan Zhuoyan easily convinced everyone present using various graphics and analogies in a concise and concise manner.
In fact, Yan Zhen underestimated the tides of the Ganges River. This guy was the first to study tidal science in China. He needed to improve a lot of information himself. Therefore, he could only rely on experience for things he had never seen before, and Yan Zhen could not rely on experience even if he relied on experience. It is unimaginable that during a spring tide in the Ganges River, the tide can even reach ten meters, because the delta horn of the Ganges River is so outrageous.
After the influx of tides, the river level will rise significantly. Of course, conversely, if the tidal force is in the opposite direction, the overall water level of the Ganges will drop. This is also the reason why many places in the Ganges are still impassable. The water level of this thing It oscillates back and forth.
"In this case, it seems that it is indeed possible to pass the quasi-seventh generation ship." After reading it, Zhou Yu also felt that what Yan Zhen said seemed to be correct.
"No, according to Mancai, the tide will recede, and it only takes half a day. We won't be able to make it in half a day anyway." Lu Dai shook his head and paid off the weak point.
"Leave the rest to me." Pang Tong stood up. If he dared to speak, he would show his confidence in the future.
Yan Zhen nodded and retreated. He had finished his performance. What he said before was very satisfying. Especially the way other people looked at him made Yan Zhen very satisfied. After all, he used to be similar to Xiao Transparent, the top person under Sun Ce. There are not many civil servants, but there are many who are nearly first-rate.
"Burn the cloud gas directly and use the cloud gas to solidify the road and forcibly lift the ship." Pang Tong gave a very simple and crude way. He said simply and crudely that everyone else was stunned. Is this a plan?
Ships also need cloud gas protection. Without cloud gas, the vehicle will be dismantled by the opponent in just a few strokes. That would be ridiculous.
So much so that Kan Ze, Gu Yong and others all looked at Pang Tong, waiting for what the other party said before refuting. After all, Pang Tong was ugly. This man had really established his position as a powerful force in Jiangdong. Absolutely. Top wise men.
On the contrary, Zhou Yu looked thoughtful. He already knew what Pang Tong wanted to do.
"It will take me at least half a day to get close to Fahrenheit City. After that, I will consume the cloud energy and go straight to Brahasi. Kushan has built the world's largest cloud coverage circle there. Once I get there, the cloud solidification road will be open and I can use it." Pang Tong was very serious. said.
"A seventh-generation ship may be lost." Pang Tong finally added, and then looked at Zhou Yu.
"Can you afford the compensation? If I remember correctly, Qunv City is in the upper reaches of the Ganges River?" Zhou Yu bent his knuckles and tapped a few cases while looking at Xu Kun, who was in charge of intelligence. Xu Kun nodded.
"There is only one chance for this kind of thing. As long as we show up and sail the warship under the Kushan City, Kushan will never give us a second chance." Pang Tong said to everyone present with a ferocious expression. He nodded slightly to show his understanding.
"Zhengfang, take someone to protect Mancai and go to the mouth of the Ganges River to conduct tests first. After Bofu and I arrive, we will test it once with the seventh-generation ship before taking action." Zhou Yu was very gentle to Yan Zhen. Said, this is really a talent.
Before, I was thinking of following Liu Bei and drinking some soup. Now they, Jiangdong, can also be the main force. If the fleet fights, who dares to say that we, Jiangdong, are not the main force!
"Yes!" Li Yan stood up and replied. In fact, many Jiangdong generals were very excited at this time, because the success rate of Pang Tong's plan was very ridiculous, and once successful, it would definitely be comparable to Bai Qi's heart-wrenching plan during the Battle of Yanying. hit.
Even if the country of Kushan is not destroyed, it can still blow up the capital of Kushan in one go.
As for being unable to defeat them, in a land war their Jiangdong troops are useless per capita, but in a water battle the northerners combined may not be enough for them Jiangdong.
"Be prepared. Qunu City was once the home of the Brahmins. I heard there was a population of three to four hundred thousand people." Zheng Du suddenly appeared at this time and said concisely. In an instant, the eyes of all the generals in the room lit up. They Jiangdong What is missing? Someone is missing!
Today's Jiangdong has evolved to 200 years after its official history. In other words, when fighting any opponent, it doesn't matter whether it can be defeated, it only cares about whether it can plunder the population.
There are 300,000 to 400,000 people near Qunu City. General Jiangdong immediately geared up to prepare. There is no way, everyone is short of people now, and the veterans have been used for construction. It is so heartbreaking.
"We are civilized people and cannot do this kind of behavior." Zhang Zhao immediately stood up and called out, "We can capture these people and bring them back, and then they will be dealt with by the country in a unified way. They cannot be dealt with at will by each legion. This is humane the basis of doctrine.”
"To put it bluntly, aren't we just bringing them back for you to distribute? But you always deduct the population." Han Dang, who is not close to Zhang Zhao, said angrily.
"It's not that I'm deducting the population, it's that we only have so many people." Zhang Zhao argued vigorously that sending 300,000 to 400,000 people would be a relief.
"But you always withhold money. The two thousand people you owed me last time haven't been repaid yet." Han Dang was very dissatisfied and broke the news.
However, while destroying the trouble, I cursed in my heart. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, under the leadership of Sun Jian, they never stopped killing the Yellow Turbans. At that time, they never cared about two thousand people. Do you understand that fighting is like a comb? After hammering the Yellow Turban, the local people were also harmed twice. They didn't care about dead spots or anything like that. I don't know when the people of the Han Dynasty became old and precious.
In the past, you could see people selling themselves into slavery every day, including men, women, old and young, but now you can't even see a beggar all year round, and Han Dang even wants to curse them.
These days, if a person is lost in his own village, the officials will spare no effort in searching for it. In the end, it is determined whether he was snatched away by a tiger, leopard, or wolf, or there was an accident, or he was robbed by another village. I always feel that something is wrong. look.
"Yes, there is still a gap of 700 people on my side. We have agreed to arrange it for our Cai family." Cai Mao was not here, and Cai Zhong did not dare to knock on the table, but as soon as he confirmed it, Cai Zhong also started to make a fuss. , Seven hundred people are also human beings, and I don’t care about male or female, as long as they are human beings, even children.
"Yes, I still have it!" Li Yan also remembered that after Zhang Zhao made a promise to him, he ignored him and has been evading it until now.
Soon, the government office was filled with angrily scolding Zhang Zhao for his inaction and for blackmailing them. However, Zhang Zhao was arguing against the scholars all by himself. The battle was so intense that even Zhuge Jin didn't want to speak in the face of this scene. What's up.
"Everyone be quiet! There is a shortage of population. Please be considerate to others. Everyone is in need now. This is an opportunity. Although it cannot solve the population problem, as long as we seize the opportunity and attack, we can alleviate the current tragedy of population shortage." Zhou Yu was so noisy that he slapped the table to suppress the group of people.
There is no shortage of people. My plantation wanted to open 200 plants, but in the end I only opened 20. Isn’t it because of lack of manpower? I, Zhou Yu, got so bad that I started letting the locals train orangutans and baboons to pick fruits together. Do you think I want that? I don’t want to either. I am the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy who is the governor of the four oceans. I have gotten so messed up and I don’t even curse anyone. Why are you scolding me?
"Mancai, you have also seen what happened this time. Whether we can do it or not depends on your judgment. As long as the seventh-generation ship can enter the upper reaches of the Ganges, we dare not say that we are invincible. If we take advantage of the chaos to penetrate the main front, we You will be the first in this battle!" Zhou Yu directly gave Yan Zhen a guarantee.
The other generals and commanders present also looked at Yan Zhen, because they knew very well that when is the right time to enter, it is related to everything in the future. As long as this is solved, the problem behind will be more and less.
Therefore, Zhou Yu gave a guarantee of Yan Jin's first achievements, and no one present refuted it. Without Yan Jin's plan, the follow-up would be nonsense.
"Don't dare to take it, don't take it. Today I will pack my things and go to the estuary of the Ganges River to observe and determine the changes in the tidal water depth." Yan Zhen waved his hands repeatedly with a humble look. In fact, he felt very happy in his heart. His knowledge After being recognized by others and finding the correct way to use it, Yan Zhen said that he felt great.
"Zhengfang, Zhongye, protect Shiyuan and Mancai, and then you will go to the Henghe estuary first, and contact the Kou family. The Kou family should also have a captain, and they want to try to build a seventh-generation ship. It is very promising. The ship may be destroyed, so be prepared to repair it." Zhou Yu greeted Li Yan and Wenpin, and both of them stood up and agreed.
"The shipbuilding technology at Kou's side is not that good." Sima Fu, who had always been pretending to be transparent, suddenly said, "I remember that the shipbuilding technology at Wenjia's side is higher."
"The shipbuilding company over at Wenjia can manufacture sixth-generation ships. Kou's shipyard has the technology for seventh-generation ships." Zhou Yu glanced at Sima Fu and explained. Sima Fu was stunned when he heard this. What is the situation and why? The Kou family will have the technology of seventh-generation ships.
This technology was used by Lu Jun, a fraudster who went around defrauding Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu happened to have money on hand. He thought that even if Lu Xun's plan was not completed, the technology of the seventh-generation ship was still worth a lot of money, so he bought it as a seven-generation ship. The technology of generation ships.
Zhou Yu saw clearly that the value of the technology of the seventh-generation ship was worth the money he gave him, so after discovering that Lu Jun was a fraudster, Zhou Yu exchanged the money for the technology.
In fact, the shipyards of the Jiangdong Family did not fully understand this technology. In addition, Zhou Yu needed a shipyard in the Indian Ocean. At that time, there were only two companies that could cooperate, the semi-official shipyard in the Wenjia area and the one that had just won against the Zhuluo, so they had nothing. But Kou clearly wanted to build a shipyard.
Choosing one of the two, the Kou family is weaker, so of course the Kou family is chosen, so Zhou Yu provides the technology, and the Kou family provides the manpower and space, plus Zhou Yu mobilizes a group of shipwrights from the Jiangnan Shipyard to be trained by the Kou family. The boat came out, and Zhou Yu took the majority.
In other words, the materials, manpower, etc. are all provided by the Kou family, and the Kou family still does not take up the majority. But if you really want to say it, the Kou family has not suffered a loss. After all, this technology is not easy to obtain. At present, the seventh-generation ship technology has really been obtained. Except for Zhou Yu who saw the opportunity quickly and recycled it in advance, everyone else only received dividends and no technology.
Therefore, this thing is still very precious, and it is also because of its preciousness. Until now, the Kou family who has obtained the technology can barely build a ship, let alone build a ship.
Of course, Mr. Kou also knew that Zhou Yu shared this with him and had the idea of letting him take the blame. After all, this was the most cutting-edge technology in the entire Han Dynasty. After mastering it thoroughly, they would be able to travel across the world, but Lao Kou was only a little After thinking about it for a while, I agreed.
The reason is very simple. It is better to have it in your pocket than to have it if your father has it. If you have a chance to get it, you should get it directly.
"Of course, it can't be built. It should be no problem to repair it." Zhou Yu said a little unconfidently. He shared this technology with the Kou family because he met Chen Xi in Qingzhou after defeating Selian. The choice was made after determining the situation in this country.
Therefore, Zhou Yu is not very confident in Kou's technical strength. Anyway, let's work on it first. It's better than nothing.
"Captain, urgent confidential documents from Africa." Just as Zhou Yu and others were finalizing the current situation, a guard rushed over with the confidential documents.
Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, thinking that Sun Ce was quite fast this time and didn't seem to be running around. However, after opening the secret document, the billowing breath of the evil god made Zhou Yu frown again and again. This was written with the blood of the evil god. ’s stuff?
Zhou Yu secretly cursed whether Sun Ce was becoming more and more perverted, and then began to read the contents of the secret message, frowning as he read, what happened in Africa, isn't it a beast tide? Why did the Evil God's Creep appear again? Wait, what is this Evil God's Creature?
