King Wei blinked: "How did you fly?"
Others also looked at each other.
King Wei.
Your question...
I really don’t know!
Since ancient times, everyone has wanted to fly and everyone knows how to fly.
But you ask how we fly...
We really don’t know!
"King of Wei, King of Wei!"
"I'm coming!"
At this time, another subordinate came running in sweating profusely.
"Do you know how to fly?"
King Wei asked him.
The man had a crying face and handed over a piece of paper.
"Offer sheet?"
King Wei took a look.
Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce quotation meeting?
Then……
"Want to fly in the sky? Want to be a birdman? Want to have a bird's-eye view of the vast dragon flames? Come on, Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce will help you realize your dream!"
"Yinzhou Hang Glider!"
"Take you to the sky!"
"Beggars Edition: Five Hundred Silver State Coins!"
"Standard version: seven hundred Yinzhou coins!"
"Medium version: one thousand Yinzhou coins!"
"High-end version: one thousand and five silver state coins!"
"Top version: two thousand Yinzhou coins!"
"Supreme Edition: Three Thousand Silver State Coins!"
"The emperor's version, five thousand Yinzhou soldiers!"
"puff……"
King Wei spurted out another mouthful of tea.
Who can tell him what the hell is this? Five thousand Yinzhou coins. According to the current calculation, one Yinzhou coin is equal to seven taels of gold, which is 3,500 taels of gold. How much silver is that?
Luxury!
This is a complete luxury product!
King Wei's face turned dark. This Liu Zhizhou, at such a young age, loves money so much! What should he do?
Should I buy this hang glider or not?
purchase!
With so much money, where can I find it? Empty your family fortune?
Not buying?
What should I do if another feudal lord buys it? One day, if I learn like Qin Changfeng and fly over Qingzhou City, won't I have to belch?
Are there any cheap ones?
What a fart!
They must have applied for a patent!
Thinking of this, King Wei roared: "Buy, buy, buy, give it to Gu... buy one thousand to Gu Xian, the standard version!"
"yes!"
They seemed to have heard it, and King Wei's heart was bleeding.
…
The entire Longyan vassal kings were actually roaring and cursing.
Everyone is scolding Liu Zhizhou, he is indeed the son of a merchant! Extremely treacherous!
This hang glider seems to cost only a few hundred taels of silver.
Just by joining his Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce, he can sell it for hundreds of thousands of taels!
Isn’t it scary?
vampire!
brute!
However, despite the criticism, they still had to buy it while they admired the wonderful idea of this hang glider.
As for piracy...
They did try.
However, they lack the most important material among hang gliders, which can only be produced by Silver Beach City, fine steel! Therefore, even if it is copycat piracy, they cannot do it.
so.
there's no way.
Must buy it! If someone else buys it but we don’t, does that make sense? Now, who wouldn’t be wary of others?
then.
Orders from the Longyan Dynasty came from all directions and all over the world, one by one, flying towards Silver Beach City.
"Get rich, get rich!"
In Yintan City, Hu Xier was jumping around.
Qingyang Shuo chuckled: "This can really make a lot of money. Now Silver Beach City has completely turned a loss into a profit. The expenses of the Grand Canal can also be wiped out."
Zheng Yueru also laughed happily.
The consumption of a Grand Canal is too great.
Now Liu Zheng has completely become the hands-off shopkeeper of Yintan City. Only the big shopkeeper Zheng Yueru knows that it is really not easy to be the boss. In the past few months, the Grand Canal has been like a huge gold-eating beast, causing Silver Beach City to work overtime overnight, but even so, there is still a deficit.
Zheng Yueru was a good businessman, but he also borrowed money from here and there.
Until today...
The order for the hang glider came like snowflakes, and Yinzhou coins and real money were also pulled into Silver Beach City one by one. She was really relieved.
With these hang glider orders alone, Silver Beach City will not have to worry about revenue for a year!
…
"Sir, isn't this price too high?"
at this time.
The Liangzhou Army led by Liu Zheng, Jiang Xuan, and Xie Zhen were still advancing by water. After hearing that Shuzhou was defeated, Xie Zhen really admired his sworn brother and fell to the ground.
Flying in!
This Liangzhou Army can actually fly!
Shuzhou was captured within two hours. Isn't this a divine weapon descending from the sky?
When the good news came over there, the Yinzhou ship here also accelerated its speed.
At this time, Xie Zhen was really relieved. At least this unit no longer had to worry about becoming a lone army.
When Liu Zheng heard Jiang Xuan's words, he chuckled: "Is it expensive? Do you think it is expensive?"
joke!
How much did a plane cost in a previous life?
How much does a fighter jet cost?
It can easily be several hundred million or more than a billion. I have realized their dream of flying. The top-end package only costs a few hundred thousand taels. Is it expensive?
He knew that there would definitely not be a few people paying for this top-of-the-range version.
The more expensive it is, the more they will buy it!
In every era, there are people with such consumption habits.
Which of the royal family and royal children is reluctant to buy it?
Let’s not talk about fighter jets for now.
Let’s just talk about wingsuit flying in later generations. Who dares to fly in a wingsuit? Who doesn’t have a net worth of hundreds of millions? How can you play with those equipments without one or two million?
so.
What are the hundreds of thousands and hundreds of thousands of silver of my own?
If you can, don’t buy it!
If you don’t buy it, you’ll have to wait to be beaten!
Liu Zheng now understands why the United States in later generations is so wealthy and an arms dealer, the largest arms dealer in the world! Liu Zheng is now the largest arms dealer in the country. Of course, his goal is also the largest in the world!
As long as these are done, why worry about money?
Naturally, it keeps rolling in.
"Sir, there is only one day left to Yong'an Port."
At this moment, Xiao Qi next to him reminded.
"oh?"
Liu Zheng's eyes lit up.
Qin Changfeng's battle was very smooth, and he successfully encircled Wei and rescued Zhao, attracting the 150,000 Nanman army to Shuzhou. In fact, this situation is what Liu Zheng wants!
at this time.
This Shuzhong battle plan has reached the second step.
What's the second step?
The main force of the Southern Barbarians abandoned Jiangzhou and rushed to the aid of Shuzhou.
During this gap, Qin Changfeng captured Shuzhou. After Shuzhou was under military control, he could wait for Xie Zhen to return. Under such circumstances, do you really think that the other prefects in Shu would still watch the fire from the other side?
Absolutely not!
Among the three princes in Shu, Xie Yang has been eliminated.
Currently, only Xie Zhen and the second son Xie Chen are left.
Therefore, next is the third step of Liu Zheng's Sichuan-Sichuan battle plan! He is going to fight a big victory! If he can completely win over Xie Chen, who is currently hiding in Yong'an.
What will those prefects do?
Thinking about it with their toes, they would all instantly shout in support of Xie Zhen returning to Shu and succeeding to the throne - they may not be willing to provide help in times of need, but who wouldn't be the icing on the cake?
In this way, the Nanman who are wandering around in Shu at this time will soon be given a dumpling by the troops sent by these prefects!
so.
If Liu Zheng were to win, the Southern Barbarians' 150,000-strong army would not even be able to get close to Shuzhou. They would not even be able to return to Jiangzhou, and they would be completely killed in the mountains of Sichuan and Shu.
"good!"
At this time, Liu Zheng was also extremely confident, and he was anxious for all the generals to come around the sand table.
…
"Shuzhou was lost like this?"
at this time.
In Yongan City.
The second son of Sichuan and Sichuan was furious: "This Xie Yang, is he such a waste? What should I do? What should I do?"
Now, many people in Shu have voiced their support for Xie Zhen to return to Shuzhou and ascend the throne, which makes Xie Chen feel a little panicked.
His military advisor laughed beside him and said: "Your Highness, this matter is not urgent. We are not Xie Yang. He killed his father and brother, and it is not allowed by nature. But Your Highness just clung to Yong'an and did not participate in that matter that was outraged by both humans and gods."
Xie Chen was stunned: "What do you mean, sir?"
The military advisor stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Therefore, we can advance, attack, retreat or defend. Besides, Liu Zhizhou may not be able to defeat the Jingchu navy."
Xie Chen also nodded.
yes.
He did not participate in the matter of seizing power and usurping the throne. The prefects and people in Sichuan and Shu did not have any deep hatred for him.
He is just in Yongan...
I'm coming to my uncle's house, can't I just drop by?
"What if we lose?"
he asked hurriedly.
The military advisor said: "If Liu Zhizhou wins, His Highness can welcome the eldest son to Yong'an. At most, he will offend Jingchu, so what?"
"If Liu Zhizhou is defeated..." He
He chuckled, and a murderous intention flashed in his eyes: "Liu Zhizhou and Xie Zhen, no one can be kept!"
"good!"
Xie Chen was very happy.
This way.
He was the only one left of the three princes left by his father, so what else to choose? He must be the King of Shu! At this time, he began to feel grateful to that good-for-nothing Xie Yang in his heart. Sure enough, he was the first to shoot... Hiding in Yong'an, maybe he could have the last laugh!
at this time.
Yong'an Port is already facing a formidable enemy.
Most of the ancient water battles were river battles.
What is river warfare?
Leading the army deep into the enemy's territory and confronting the enemy across the river. The army wants to cross the river to seize the imperial city. This is river warfare. Hechuan, as the name suggests, is rivers and mountains.
Coincidentally, Yong'an was originally located in Sichuan and Sichuan, and was later captured by King Xiang of Jingzhou.
The geographical location here is very suitable for river warfare.
Because ancient China was different from Europe, the main stage for ancient Chinese people to fight and live was the East Asian continent, mainly on inland rivers, supplemented by open sea navigation. Therefore, in ancient China, land warfare was still the mainstream. The water war was in a subordinate position and was all concentrated in the south. It is usually a war between two sides fighting for control of the Yangtze River Basin.
According to literature research, when the Zhou people attacked the Shang Dynasty, they used "boat divisions". The Tang Dynasty's "Translation Leiju" quoted from "Six Tao" records: "When King Wu attacked Yin, he came out of the river first, with Lu Shang as his general, and he sent forty-seven ships to the river."
The permanent naval force appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period. According to the "Tongkao of Documents" in the Song Dynasty and "Zuo Zhuan" in the Spring and Autumn Period, "the use of boat divisions began with King Kang of (Chu)", "Chuzi used boat divisions to attack Wu", and in the Han Dynasty The "Wu Yue Chun Qiu" also records dozens of water battles between Wu and Chu.
At that time, Wu, Chu, and Qi were all "naval" powers. Wu even launched a naval raid on Qi. On the one hand, King Wu Fucha joined forces with the three slave states of Lu, Zhu, and Tan to attack Qi by land. On the one hand, the doctor Xu Cheng was sent to lead the navy to "enter Qi from the sea", and the Qi State also sent out the navy to intercept. A naval battle broke out between the two sides, and in the end Wu was defeated.
so.
At this time, the two sides fought on the water. They used the side of their own ship to approach the side of the enemy's ship, and the soldiers jumped into the gang to fight.
It's called a boarding battle.
Boarding warfare was an international standard tactic that was used until the seventeenth century.
Next.
Here comes the point.
When boarding battles are still the mainstream in this era, what is the most testing thing?
Is it combat effectiveness?
No!
It's water-based!
The reason why Xie Chen and King Xiang are full of confidence in themselves is that most of the soldiers in the Jingchu Navy are white stripers with excellent water properties!
Under such circumstances, how could the landlubber Liangzhou Army win?
…
so.
At this time, a group of generals on Liu Zheng's side were discussing the same thing.
Don't look at Liu Zheng with one hundred thousand Liangzhou troops.
But I am afraid that among these 100,000 people... there will definitely be no more than 50,000 people who know how to swim! This was under the guidance of Xiao Qi, who forced the navy to learn swimming. But despite this, among them, there are not a few from the army. Moreover, even if you learn how to swim, can you do whatever you want in the rivers of Sichuan and Sichuan?
No.
This is obviously not enough.
As a result, they also started to have headaches.
