The Yongzhou Navy set up many water forts on the Han River, surrounding Xiangyang City from north to south, and water forts were set up in Fancheng, Yicheng, Jixian and other places.
Fuxian County was originally under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou, but it was only two hundred miles away from Xiangyang. Yang Anxuan took Dangyang City and included Dangyang City and the territory to the north.
After Liu Yi became the governor of Jingzhou, he asked Yang Anxuan to return Dangyang and other places. Yang Anxuan tried to appease Liu Yi and gave him the confidence to compete with Liu Yu and give up Dangyang City, but he ignored his request to compile counties, Nakou, and Fuxian.
Unexpectedly, Liu Yi had his own name and did not delay Liu Yu's pace for long. Finally, it was Zhuge Changmin's help that prevented Liu Yu from attacking Xiangyang while he was on his northern expedition to Qin.
The Fuxian Water Village is the water village set up by the Yongzhou Navy at the forefront of the Han River Basin. It is located on the river west of the Fuxian City. It is built in a wide and concave place. It is about eight miles long and occupies 3,000 acres of water surface. It can accommodate up to Three hundred and fifty warships.
The outer fence of the water village is a bamboo wall. There are eight gates to facilitate the entry and exit of warships. The gates are eight feet wide, so even large ships can enter and exit.
The warships of the Yongzhou Navy are divided into those used by the command
"building ship"; mainly used for combat
"艨 rush"; to detect the enemy's situation
"Scout"; someone who can convey information quickly and conveniently
"Red Horse Boat"; a vessel that assists in stern operations and is fast and agile.
"walking boat"; used to ram enemy ships
"Suddenly"; the call to seize the landing
"First to board" and so on; according to the function, it can be divided into ships, boats, boats, boats, boats, etc. Yang Anxuan's boat was still a few miles away from the water village when he saw the flag waving on the watchtower of the water village. He ordered the incoming boat to slow down and asked who was coming.
Yang Anxuan nodded secretly. It seemed that Liu Zhong's water master was rigorous and well-defended. The ship stopped two hundred steps away. There were flag bearers on the ship waving flags at the watchtower. The gate of the village was opened, and seven or eight walking boats drove out from inside, approaching the ship.
When they saw Yang Anxuan clearly on the boat, the soldiers on the boat beat their chests as a salute, and Yang Anxuan returned the salute. Zu Ge waved the flag, and the water village rang with the sound of drums to greet them. The ship sailed into the water village under the escort of Zu Ge.
The water village is very spacious, with trestles and passages built using bamboo rafts, extending in all directions. Boats can pass under the high trestle without any obstruction, or you can rely on the pontoon to board the bamboo raft road directly to where you want to go.
The ships in the water village were in order, and there were walking boats to guide Yang Anxuan's ship to dock at the ship's position. When Yang Anxuan got off the ship, he saw Liu Zhong and the navy generals already waiting on the bamboo platform to greet them.
"Brother Yongming, I apologize for coming uninvited." Yang Anxuan said with a smile and cupped his hands. Liu Zhong saluted solemnly and said: "My lord, when is the time to inspect? My lord, do you want to go back to the camp to rest or inspect the water village?" Yang Anxuan said: "I am not tired from the boat ride all the way. I'd better follow Brother Yongming to visit the water village first, and then Let the soldiers practice it." Yang Anxuan is a semi-layman when it comes to setting up water fortresses. In the past, there were only a few hundred people and five or six boats in the river patrol camp, and a water fortress was formed by enclosing a random area of water.
Shuizhai is located at the entrance of Jingkou, so there is no need to worry about enemy attacks. Apart from patrolling the river every day, there is nothing else to do, and there is no talk of deployment.
Watching the water village in the company of Liu Zhong was like looking at flowers in the mist. The Five Elements were hidden in the Eight Diagrams, and the Seven Stars and the Big Dipper evolved into an ambush from all sides. Yang Anxuan was confused and nodded frequently, as if he was deeply convinced.
After watching the water village, the naval forces in the village also gathered and began to perform drills under the command of horns and flags.
Liu Zhong introduced from the side: "My lord, Yu is based on the stern charge. Each stern charge is equipped with four ships, and two ships are launched. Each of them performs its own duties and fights together..." Yang Anxuan could understand these words. From time to time, he pointed out the formation and discussed with Liu Zhong and others.
"In the battle against Qin, Yu defeated Qin's navy in Dingcheng. The power of gunpowder is very powerful. Yu plans to use twenty chariots and ships to maneuver, and the ships are loaded with catapults, pumps and other items. If they can match the gunpowder, they will be invincible." Liu Zhong looked at Yang An Xuandao expectantly.
The emergence of gunpowder greatly enhanced the combat effectiveness of Yong's army, and the Qin State was actually destroyed by gunpowder. However, once this weapon of country destruction is exposed, it will inevitably attract everyone's attention.
Liu Yu has developed
"Dan Fire", Yang Anxuan believes that it won't be too long before the Northern Wei Dynasty will have a similar product, and even the Western Qin, Zhuliang, and Northern Yan will try their best to obtain the gunpowder formula.
Future wars may well be based on
"cold" turn
"hot". In the dusk, with the sound of drums, naval warships returned to the stronghold one after another. Yang Anxuan announced that pigs and sheep would be killed to reward the three armies, and cheers immediately broke out.
The smoke from the kitchen raises the twilight, and the horn urges the setting sun. Eating together with the soldiers was a good time to get closer. Yang Anxuan took advantage of the time before dinner to walk around the camp. Wherever he went, there were cheers.
Liu Zhong was on the side introducing Yang Anxuan to the athletes in the army.
"This boy is Qian Lei's younger brother. His name is Qian Miao. He is a lieutenant colonel in the army. He is no worse than that boy Qian Lei." Qian Miao was a little nervous and said at a loss, "I have met my lord." Yang Anxuan smiled and said, "Your father Are you in good health? When I met him the year before last, I said that both of you brothers were in the army. It would be best for you to go back to marry." Qian Miao said anxiously: "Master, my father said that if anyone dares to serve in the army, Embarrass him, go back and beat him with a big stick." Everyone laughed, Yang Anxuan patted him on the shoulder and said: "Okay, your brother now has a title, and this time he attacked Yizhou and captured Wenchuan County, I guess. His title still needs to be improved, and you have to work harder." Qian Miao raised his chest and said, "Don't worry, my lord, if there is a war, Yu will not embarrass his father and brother." Yang Anxuan saw a familiar face in the crowd. With a smile on his face, he said with a smile: "He Zhuang, why are you hiding behind? Come forward." A stocky man with a red face stepped forward. He was about to bow and salute when Yang Anxuan grabbed him and cursed with a smile: "He Zhuang, now is Commander, you are getting younger and younger. No wonder you are hiding from me." He Zhuang is an old man in the patrol camp. Soldiers with the same seniority have at least been promoted to department commanders. He has also been a school captain. , because he missed the military order because of his good wine, he was demoted to the commander of the village.
"My lord still remembers the villain." He Zhuang choked with sobs. The grievance of being demoted to the rank of village chief came to him, and the strong man's eyes became wet.
Yang Anxuan said: "He Zhuang, you are a good fighter and you are not afraid of death, but you have to follow the rules in the army. If there are no rules, you will not be able to lead the troops. When the battle is over, I will invite you to my home and have a good drink with you. Have a drink." He Zhuang gritted his teeth, his eyes were red, he took a step back, raised his hands above his head, and shouted loudly: "Wei!"
"My lord, I am Qiao Laosi from Yanling. Do you remember me?"
"I am from Linshui Village and joined the Navy three years ago."
"My servant is a member of the Yuan family, and I am related to you, my lord"... All kinds of shouts came. The crowd gathered around Yang Anxuan, and the bamboo raft under his feet gradually sank.
Yu Fei rushed forward and shouted loudly: "Brothers, please stop crowding and let the lord say a few words to everyone."
"Okay", applause burst out. Yang Anxuan nodded, climbed up to a high platform, looked at the soldiers standing in black beside the platform, and said loudly: "Brothers, I don't know why you all come to serve as soldiers. Some do it to protect your home and country, and some do it to There are rewards for meritorious service, and some people may not be able to survive at home, so they go to the army to beg for food." The noise around him quieted down, and everyone looked at Yang Anxuan on the stage quietly.
"No matter what the purpose of everyone is, when everyone is in the military camp, they have a common name 'Paoze'."
"What is 'Pao Ze'?" Yang Anxuan shook the clothes on his body and said: "The outer clothes are called robes, and the inner underwear is called ze." Robes are the clothes we wear to keep us warm and close to our bodies, just like the relationship between brothers in the army. Yang Anxuan knew that most of the officers and soldiers in the army were illiterate and did not know the origin of Pao Ze. He continued to shout: "The two characters Pao Ze refer to the soldiers of the Qin Kingdom that were first established by Qin Shi Huang. They sang songs to conquer the world for Qin Shi Huang. Those lyrics It means "Who said there are no clothes? Let's wear the same uniform, kill the enemy on the battlefield together, and live and die together from now on." "Those soldiers don't know
"I share the same robe with my son", but I understand
"Live and die together." Many people were in danger on the battlefield, and it was the brothers around them who saved their lives. The love on the battlefield is like that of brothers, and it can indeed be called living and dying together.
"Live and die together, live and die together," passionate shouts rang out. Yang Anxuan waited for everyone to shout for a while, raised his hand to signal, and then continued after quieting down: "Brothers, we are going through life and death, what are we trying to do?" Without waiting for everyone to answer, Yang Anxuan shouted loudly: "It's just to let the parents and sisters at home My brother can be in peace, no longer captured by the barbarians as slaves, can live in peace and contentment, not running around like wild dogs, and have a mouth to eat in peace and contentment." These words aroused the concerns of most people, Taiwan There was a roaring sound,
"My lord is right"
"I am from Xingyang, and my family has been killed by swallows and dogs."
"Serving as a soldier to eat food, I can bring a few stones of corn to the family every year, so that my brothers and sisters can survive."... The sound of sobbing disappeared, and Yang Anxuan said sternly: "Brothers, Yang has worked hard in the army with his father and brother since he was a child. We are both in the same robe, so we should live and die together, and share wealth and wealth." Looking at everyone, Yang Anxuan said loudly: "Yang promised in front of everyone that when the world is peaceful, every brother will have a field to cultivate, and there will be no need to worry about food and clothing. If you have a child, you can go to school to study and be literate, and your family can live together happily." There was thunderous cheers. Most of these soldiers were from Yong, Yan, and Si. Since Yang Anxuan became the governor of Yong and Yan, their families, My hometown is indeed changing.
This time when the Qin Dynasty was destroyed, many soldiers who participated in the war received high rewards, and some married women from the Qin palace for their meritorious service. The families of those who died in Paoze received generous pensions, and the injured were also resettled. I firmly believe that the Lord can do what he says.
He Zhuang reached out and poked Qian Miao, who was shouting excitedly next to him, and asked: "Qian Xiaowei, the master said that we are Pao Ze, do you want to fight with us wearing the same leather armor?" Qian Miao glanced at him, He hummed: "Old He, you always find excuses not to come when we usually have literacy training in the army. This time I know..." He Zhuang glared and cursed: "Boy, when I was fighting with your brother, you were still here You're fishing on the river. If you don't tell me, I'll cut you off." Qian Miao really had nothing to do with him, and said with a smile: "Brother He, you have such a quick temper, what the lord means is that he won't let all the brothers eat once he eats. Hungry." He Zhuang clapped his hands and said, "That's what I mean." Remembering that Yang Anxuan had just invited him to drink, He Zhuang raised his right arm and shouted: "Long live my lord, long live my lord."
The shouts of "Long live my lord" surged on the river, causing the returning birds to flee in shock. Yang Anxuan on the high platform looks like a towering monument against the background of the iron-blue sky.
Liu Zhong stood next to Yang Anxuan, listening to the roar of the mountains and the tsunami, and felt secretly in his heart. Long Live can only be called the Emperor. During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao used the Emperor's bow and golden arrows to shoot a deer, and was called upon by his ministers and soldiers.
"Long live" is a sign of the Wei Dynasty and the Han Dynasty; today's navy officers and soldiers shout
"Long live", could it be a sign of the Jin Dynasty. Thinking back to everything that happened since I got acquainted with Yang Anxuan, I saw that he was born from a prince to Yonggong in less than twenty years. Such a person is really a destined person.
He is attached to Yang Anxuan, and now he is also the Marquis of Dongping. In the future, Duke Yong will aspire to dominate the world, and the Liu family of Dongping will become a high-ranking family.
Thinking of this, Liu Zhong's blood boiled, and he raised his arms and shouted with everyone: "Long live my lord, long live my lord." At the end of Xu, Yang Anxuan and Liu Zhong completed their tour of the camp and returned to the camp on land together.
The water village is divided into two parts, and there is also a camp on the shore. The baggage, granaries and Liu Zhong's camp are all located on the shore.
Fuxian County is several miles away from the water village. Liu Zhong did not live in the city, but garrisoned in the tent. Taking off the black shark armor on his body, Yang Anxuan stretched, took the tea handed over by Liu Zhong, and said with a smile: "Brother Yongming, this tea is not good. When spring comes, let Yin Ji give you a few kilograms. His tea mountain will soon exceed Five thousand acres." Liu Zhong said: "After Lieutenant Liu pacified the Yan Kingdom, the people returned to their hometown in Xuchang, Dongping, and learned from others to buy a few acres of mountain land to grow tea. This tea was produced by Yu's own family. Compared with the Yin family's Bi Spring tea is indeed inferior." Yang Anxuan didn't say anything. Growing tea requires a foggy and cool place. The Liu family probably thought that good tea could be grown even in the mountains.
After finishing the tea, Yang Anxuan put down the cup and said, "Brother Yongming, during the day you mentioned gunpowder, Yuzheng was going to tell you that Liu Taiwei also developed a 'dan water', which is slightly less powerful than gunpowder." Liu Zhongshuo He took a breath and frowned, thinking of the Qin army who was burned to death in the Battle of Dingcheng, and said: "In this way, the casualties of the soldiers will increase." Yang Anxuan said: "You need to strengthen the defense of the water stronghold and arrange It is necessary to readjust to prevent fire attacks. The composition of the elixir fire is unknown and water cannot extinguish it, so we need to prepare some wet sand to put out the fire." Liu Zhong said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, my lord, I will start working on it tomorrow." Yang Anxuan said : "The war is unpredictable, so Yu deliberately selected some experienced generals and counselors who are good at strategy to form the Staff Department to study tactics, deduce the battle situation, and deal with the future." Liu Zhong didn't understand, so the Staff Department was probably similar to the Commercial Information Department and the Ordnance Department. Right, but leading the army in combat depends on adapting to circumstances. What role can the staff department play?
But these are not things that I should consider. Since the imperial court has Dan Fire, I should spend some time thinking about how to deal with it.
