Late at night.
Liu Perun stayed in the Duwei Mansion.
He will return to Wuhuan tomorrow morning.
After sailing abroad for more than a year, Zhang Qi gave him and the other sailors a month's holiday to have a good rest.
After the rest, it is time to start preparing for the formation of the navy.
Sailboats are being manufactured all the time. Although the construction cycle of a sailboat is as long as seven or eight months or even a year, there are dozens of new ships every time.
Xianbei's shipyard has grown to include more than 10,000 people, and is now preparing to develop branch bases and increase sailboat production.
Navigation is not just a way to harvest crops from all over the world.
Likewise, this could also be used as a means of waging war against the Han Dynasty.
There are many passes, checkpoints, and strategic locations on the land route.
But on the sea, as long as you can anchor, you can start a war wherever you can.
The premise is the number of ships.
Based on the current maximum capacity of Xianbei's sailing ships of 800 people, one hundred sailing ships can transport 80,000 soldiers at a time. Although the material carrying capacity is insufficient due to the full number of people, and the sailing distance is not enough, as long as there are enough ships, these The problem will be solved naturally.
Since the Han Dynasty has been regarded as one of the targets of the war, Zhang Qi naturally has to make several preparations.
grassland.
Now Hu Shui has entered the Xiongnu power. After rescuing the besieged Xiongnu soldiers last time, his reputation in the grassland is not low.
If Yi Zhixie cooperates, then Hu Shui can continue to act as a secret chess player and plan things that are beneficial to Zhang Qi. If he does not cooperate, Hu Shui can also kill Yi Zhixie and conquer half of the grassland with thunderous means, which is how long it takes. A little longer.
This is part of the plan.
The action through the grassland first attracted the attention of Han Dynasty, allowing Zhang Qi to continue to lie dormant and accumulate strength.
Plan number two.
Construction, Shanhaiguan.
Passes have always been accessible both inside and outside.
Having mastered a great pass, even if the Han army discovered something was wrong, Zhang Qi would still have enough room to continue to develop. Before the Xiongnu fell, the Han army could not launch an attack on Zhang Qi from outside the Great Wall unless they were not afraid of annihilation.
And after Shanhaiguan was established.
Zhang Qi can also say that "offense and defense are easy to change".
With Shanhaiguan as the outpost, it will be much easier to send troops to Beiping and Yuyang up the valley. Not to mention, in addition to attacking westward, he can also choose to attack Shandong southward.
But Shanhaiguan is by no means foolproof and has its weaknesses.
This leads to the third plan, which Zhang Qi has been focusing on since the beginning of development.
maritime.
Ships, navy, weapons on board.
It is not difficult to see from the fact that Zhang Qi's sailing ships began to make rapid progress after he obtained shipwrights from the Han Dynasty. The shipbuilding industry of the Han Dynasty was not bad at all.
If Liu Che also chooses to send ships to transport soldiers to raid western Liaoning and eastern Liaoning, the development of the navy is absolutely necessary.
At the very least, the ships of the Han Dynasty must be so overwhelmed in the Bohai and Yellow Sea that they cannot leave the sea.
The night is deep.
Zhang Qi sat in the main hall of the Duwei Mansion and looked at the objects brought back by Liu Perun.
Every piece is a useful tool when used properly.
I heard the croaking of frogs in my ears.
Zhang Qi picked up those pure crystals, closed his eyes and entered the world of riding and slashing.
After almost fifty years of development.
The world of horse-and-blade has changed a lot.
The countries are still those countries, fighting back and forth every day, but there is no winner.
As an incomplete world, as NPCs in this incomplete world, those lords have almost endless lifespans.
Zhang Qi didn't bother to care about them, as long as they didn't get in his way.
Moreover, it is not that he has not expanded in the past forty or fifty years.
Using some means, such as buying up a city's food, and then buying up all the food from the merchants and farmers who come here later, over time, the people of the city will become unstable, and then they will resist and turn into a rebel city.
As for Zhang Qi, he would naturally let people capture the rebel city and expand his territory in the riding and slashing world with minimal or no losses.
Today, Zhang Qi has included several towns around Silonia into his territory. He has not joined forces or is independent, so those NPCs will naturally not come to him for trouble.
However, Zhang Qi did not expand too much and stopped when the territory was enough. Otherwise, if the several forces on Calradia lost their balance, it would be difficult to maintain the best situation for him.
It's not that Zhang Qi doesn't want to conquer the world of riding and cutting first, but there are so many things going on in the outside world now that it's hard to spare his mind to conquer the world of riding and cutting.
As for the characteristics of the world of riding and slashing, or the characteristics of the game, once Zhang Qi starts fighting, war will become a daily occurrence. Fighting thirty days a month and forty days is no joke.
So the current situation is the best. He is already very skilled in using the soul mist brought by the virtual and the real. Basically, there will be no such thing as the sublimation of the riding and slashing world.
After the offensive against the Han Dynasty is launched, and there is enough free time, it will be the best time to conquer the world of riding and slashing.
After coming out of the castle in Silonia, Zhang Qi found the previous craftsmen.
Now they are all in their seventies and eighties, their beards and hair are all white, and they have all made their families in the world of riding and slashing.
As far as craftsmen are concerned, the older they are, the more experienced they are. Of course, their physical functions are no longer enough to support them, but this does not prevent them from instructing their apprentices to do it.
"Several old men took great pains to extract as much material from these crystals as possible and polish them to maximize the utilization rate of the materials.
As for what I want to build, I have people draw it and just make it according to the drawing.
One concave mirror and one convex mirror. I will only make two pieces at the beginning. After I test them, I will decide on the subsequent ones. "
Zhang used a wooden box to put a crystal in it.
It was handed to an old man with white eyebrows. Behind him were two strong men, one was his apprentice and the other was his heir. Now even his heir is almost thirty years old. Needless to say, time flies by.
The old man said in a somewhat hoarse voice, and promised respectfully: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely grind out what you need!"
"Yulin, Yuhai, let's get to work!"
Without waiting for anything, he immediately called his son and apprentice and started working.
Speaking of which, he was the least valued among the several craftsmen. He thought that Zhang Qi didn't need jade craftsmen like him before, but he just accepted them all, so he kept cultivating them, so that he would inevitably be needed in the future.
Fortunately, I didn't let them change their careers, so today I can safely hand over these rare crystals to them for polishing.
After the materials were delivered, Zhang Qi left the world of riding and slashing.
The next day, Zhang Qi handed a letter of appointment to Liu Perun and then watched him ride away.
The appointment letter is naturally related to the naval establishment.
He couldn't go back to Wuhuan for a while, so he asked Liu Perun to organize it on his own.
Two days in a row, forty-eight days passed in the world of riding and cutting.
Zhang Qi entered again.
The jade craftsmen lived up to their trust and handed Zhang Qi two crystal clear lenses without any scratches.
Assembled with a stretchable cylinder, Zhang Qi closed one eye and placed it on his open eye. The next second, the distant scene seemed to be right in front of him!
