"Go on." Wu Nian couldn't help but say after listening to it.
"General, please look at this. The Yalu River is very long. It is our common border. There are many places in it that are suitable for crossing the river."
"Our infantry is very strong now, and I expect Goguryeo's soldiers will not dare to cross the Yalu River again. So we don't need to guard against them crossing the river."
"On the contrary. Although the Goguryeo navy is large and strong, it needs to deploy defenses in the entire Yalu River where it is suitable for crossing the river. Their strength will be dispersed."
"We don't need to defeat the Goguryeo navy head-on. We just need to break through a point at the critical moment. We can escort the infantry into Goguryeo and capture the city."
"Take the enemy's baggage, food and fodder to support the war with war. Once we occupy the entire territory of Goguryeo, its navy will naturally be useless."
Liu Tianfang was very confident. He put his hand on the map and talked to Wu Nian.
"It coincides with my thoughts. The current situation, as long as I am allowed to cross the Yalu River, I can run amok." Wu Nian's eyes lit up, his face showed a little excitement, and he nodded repeatedly.
Liu Tianfang and Qian Botao looked at each other, also showing joy. But Liu Tianfang quickly calmed down and said calmly: "General, when the navy is first established, we should focus on land training and build warships at the same time."
"The Goguryeo naval force on the Yalu River is too strong. We think the place where warships should be built should be located in the Hun River. It is a tributary of the Yalu River to avoid the enemy's edge."
"In addition, regarding the warships. Based on the previous experience of fighting with the Goguryeo Navy. We are short of large ships and a large number of bows and crossbows."
"Whether it's the sea or the river. In water battles, arrows are particularly useful. Compared with the sea, the wind and waves on the Yalu River are smaller. Bows and crossbows are more important. Please give us more crossbows, general."
"This is what I got, the blueprint of the building ship."
With that said, Liu Tianfang took out a folded piece of paper from his arms, opened it carefully, and spread it on the map.
Wu Nian lowered his head and looked at it carefully. He didn't understand it very well, but he could imagine what a spectacular scene it would be to see this building boat running amok on the Yalu River.
"Okay. No matter where the shipyard chooses to build, what kind of ship to build, or the crossbow. I'm sure. You can do it with confidence."
"I'll tell you the truth. I'm not sure yet whether I want to attack Huanglong Mansion or Goguryeo. But sooner or later, I will attack Goguryeo."
"The more elite your navy is, the better."
Wu Nian did not hesitate, raised his head, looked at the two of them, and said frankly.
Liu Tianfang and Qian Botao did not hesitate at all. They clasped their fists together and said, "Don't worry, general. We will do our best to train the navy and never let down the general's expectations."
Wu Nian laughed and reached out to pat their shoulders. Then there was nothing to say, he just had an idea of what was going on.
Let these two professionals handle the details. It is a taboo for an outsider to control an expert.
Wu Nian first asked his soldiers to take the two of them to Guanyi to rest, and then he did not hold any grand ceremony for the title of school captain. He simply handed over the seal and official documents to them, invited them to have a meal together, and then let They led their troops to Hunjiang to build a navy.
Although there were twists and turns along the way, the outcome was exactly as Wu Nian had imagined.
Liu Tianfang and Qian Botao are both capable and thoughtful people. As long as they provide the navy with food, wages and equipment as usual, it will be quick.
There will be a series of warships flying the flag with the word "Wu" on the Yalu River.
The Yalu River is a boundary river. Why can you sail but I can't?
Ah.
Now that the matter of the naval warships has been dealt with, the next step is to guard thousands of households.
The treatment of soldiers guarding ten thousand households is not as good as that of a field army.
Liu Zhixing stockpiled a large number of second-level weapons and equipment in Jiang County. At the beginning of the war, he began to recruit people.
Supplies, equipment and soldiers were continuously transported from Jiang County to Guangyang Mansion.
The two soldiers guarding ten thousand households in Guangyang Mansion lacked nothing but two generals.
According to the agreement, the seven captains currently in Guangyang Mansion are responsible for selecting the candidates for the general.
morning.
In the study room of the temporary Fuhan General's Mansion. Wu Nian sat on the Taishi chair, picked up a piece of paper and looked at it.
On this piece of paper, the names, place of origin, resume, and brief biographies of seven members of the Qianhu family were written.
They are Zhang Cheng, Li Yuan, Wei You, He Jinping, Zheng Shuang, Qin Yong and Wang Qu.
today. Wu Nian will choose two from these seven Qianhu who have outstanding military exploits to guard Guangyang Mansion.
It's not easy.
Same as Navy Captain. Most of the thousand households have the potential to become ten thousand households.
Moreover, these seven people were carefully selected by the seven captains, and those recommended must have outstanding abilities. Their resumes are also brilliant.
They are all good men.
It is difficult to fairly select two people to guard ten thousand households.
But Wu Nian had his own way.
"General. We're ready." A soldier walked in from outside and bent down to report.
"Yes." Wu Nian put down the paper in his hand, nodded, stood up, walked out of the door, and walked along the corridor to the main room. A large number of soldiers cheered in front and supported behind.
One of the soldiers followed Wu Nian into the main room.
The formation in the main room was extraordinary.
The north position is still the main seat, separated by the coffee table, there are two Taishi chairs. Below, there are seven desks and matching Taishi chairs.
On the table, there are pens, inks, paper and inkstones.
Seeing this battle, Wu Nian laughed and went straight to the main seat to sit down. He raised his head and said to the soldiers: "Please come in, Qianhu."
"Yes." A soldier responded and walked out of the main room. Not long after, he led seven men in war jackets without swords.
The youngest of them is twenty-seven years old, and the elder is thirty-five. Everyone is tall and imposing.
But in front of Wu Nian, they were all subordinates.
"Meet the general." The seven people were surprised when they saw the formation in the main room. But they quickly calmed down and bowed to Wu Nian.
"Yes." Wu Nian hummed, showing satisfaction. After all, it was Qianhu who followed him through a mountain of swords and a sea of blood.
Although his martial arts may not be as powerful as that of the Meng Yuan Thousand Captains, they are both capable.
no way. The Mongolian people are known as a fighting nation, and they do have some advantages. The martial arts of Wu Nian's generals are generally not as good as those of their opponents.
Wu Nian raised his head and said kindly: "I have met some of you. I have never met some of you. Please introduce yourselves."
"Yes." The seven people responded immediately, and then introduced themselves.
After waiting, Wu Nian said: "What about you? You were elected by seven captains. Zhang Sheng and Wang Gui are my personal soldiers. And there are only two of them guarding ten thousand households. How can we show fairness?" "
"The imperial examination is not absolutely fair, but it is relatively fair."
"As for me, I use both civil and military skills. That's why there are Sunzijian and Guozijian. In the future, there will also be literary champions and military champions."
"You all sit down and write your names on the paper first. Then look at the paper and answer the questions."
We are all warriors, but the general lets us make a fuss?
Really...
"Yes." The seven thousand households were turbulent in their hearts, but they remained calm on the surface. They bent down and responded, then came to the desk and sat down.
When the seven thousand households saw the contents of the paper, they were all shocked, and then let out a long breath.
This paper.
