Chapter 241
Since everyone has understood Liu Bin's overall plan and agreed to this plan, the next thing is much simpler! Liu Bin said to everyone: "If you want to try this plan smoothly, the most important thing is the navy! Now our Youzhou navy is very powerful compared to other princes. () However, it is still a bit too weak to complete this plan of my king! So in my king's plan, if the navy wants to complete the task, it must at least transport 100,000 troops to land in a short time! With the transportation ability of Zhou Haijun now, I think it is already very difficult to transport 100,000 or 20,000 people! So to complete my attack, you need to vigorously develop the navy!"
Liu Bin looked at Gan Ning and said, "Xingba! Next, your task is very heavy! Whether your king's plan can be implemented smoothly depends on how powerful your navy is! Next, your navy has no major war. What you need to do is to summon more naval members as soon as possible and train them to become qualified naval soldiers! Next, our Youzhou will try our best to cooperate with your navy, ask for people, ask for money, and ask for materials! Although your navy cannot participate in many wars in the future, as long as you can do this task assigned to you by Wancheng, you will be our great hero after we unify the world! I hope you will not disappoint me!"
Gan Ning had been excited by what Liu Bin said. Now Liu Bin spoke in a tone that was very optimistic about him. Gan Ning's ambition was immediately completely aroused, so he stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, lord! My subordinates will do their best to ensure that the task of lord's transit will be completed! You will never disappoint lord!" Liu Bin saw Gan Ning's statement, nodded with satisfaction and said to Xun Yu: "Mr. Wen Ruo! Xingba still needs your strong support to complete this task! In the army, I think our Youzhou will not have a major expansion for the time being. So your focus next must be tilted towards the navy. Cooperate with them, personnel, materials and ships must meet the needs of the navy!"
Xun Yu said, "Don't worry, lord! Now our Youzhou needs money and people, and supplies are extremely abundant. It will definitely not drag down the pace of the navy! Although lord is relieved, we will definitely support the navy strongly!" Liu Bin nodded gently, thought for a while, and then said, "Supporting the navy, supporting the navy, but people's livelihood issues, we still cannot let go! Well! I also know that in fact, our Youzhou has now developed to a bottleneck! To meet the needs of the navy, it is still difficult to achieve by relying on Youzhou alone! Why not do this! Xingba! After we occupy Qingzhou, you will build a large naval base in Qingzhou and then recruit naval personnel there! Qingzhou is also close to the sea. I believe that Dali people should also have certain naval qualities. It is much better than recruiting those inland personnel. In this way, you can save a lot of trouble when you train!"
Gan Ning said, "I understand!" Liu Bin said, "After occupying Qingzhou, we will build a large shipyard in Qingzhou. At the same time, the shipyard in Liaodong must also find a way to expand it! In this way, Tianjin, Liaodong and Qingzhou, and the three places will work together to meet the needs of the navy. If the craftsmen in the shipyard are not enough, we will provoke them from other places in Youzhou. If it is not enough, then recruit me all over the world. In the Jiangnan area, the construction of ships is so developed. There will be no lack of a large number of craftsmen! We will hire them all with high salaries! If we can't hire them, we will force them to tie them up for me! I don't believe that I can't get it!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately smiled bitterly. It seemed that the lord was really anxious and was a little useless in doing things! In order to achieve their goals, the rogue methods of the Federal Family were ready to emerge! But that was good. () Most of the craftsmen in the world had a very low status. Except in Youzhou, most craftsmen either relied on their own or became slaves to the big family. Their lives were not very good. If they were brought to Youzhou, although the methods might be a bit excessive, overall, they were still good for them! So everyone didn't say anything!
After Liu Bin said that, he walked back and forth, thinking about what else was there to do! Now, in terms of building a navy, the problem of personnel in the navy has been solved, the problem of insufficient shipyards has been solved, and even the problem of craftsmen has been solved. But there is still another problem that has not been solved! That is the raw materials for shipbuilding! If you want to build a large ship, you naturally need a lot of wood, and the types and sizes of wood are also very high! Although Liu Bin has discussed with Ma Jun and others how to add iron armor to the ship, it is obvious that with the technological level of this era, it is impossible to build a real steel ship! There is no such technology! Besides, even if it is built, a ship that is mainly powered by sails in this era cannot support the operation of the iron armor warship! That is too heavy! So wooden warships are the best choice!
Although the original landform environment of this era is still well preserved. The forest coverage rate is still very large, the wood required for building ships is very high, and ordinary wood is not possible at all! The wood around Youzhou can be used to build ordinary ships, but it is a bit unqualified to build large naval warships! Even if some of them can be used to build large ships, it will definitely not meet the needs of this large construction, so a new source of wood is needed! However, the territory occupied by Youzhou is obviously not meeting this need!
Liu Bin pursed the most and walked back and forth. Everyone watched Liu Bin thinking about the green leaves and dared not disturb him. They were all quietly waiting for Liu Bin! Liu Bin walked for a while and came to the front of the sand table and looked at the entire map of China! After thinking back and forth, he suddenly had his eyes, patted his forehead and said, "Why did I forget this place! It's so careless! Fortunately! Huh! All the problems were solved at this moment!" Liu Bin smiled at the sand table! He was staring at the sand table, which was north of Liaodong, which is the current northeastern region!
In his previous life, Liu Bin read many novels and time travel articles. When building warships, when they need wood, they will pay attention to two places! One is the current Yunnan-Guizhou area! Most of the Yunnan-Guizhou area are from deep mountains and forests. There are a large number of primitive giant trees that have been around for centuries or even thousands of years, which can meet the needs of building large naval warships! Moreover, in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, although land transportation is inconvenient, if those giant trees are cut down, they can be thrown into the Yangtze River and let them go downstream. Build warships downstream! This is also very convenient to calculate! However, the Yunnan-Guizhou area has not been developed much, and they are all deep mountains and forests with sparse population. In addition, the place occupied by Youzhou is too far away, so even if trees are cut down, it is difficult to transport them back. Therefore, it is impossible to use wood from the Yunnan-Guizhou area!
However, it is impossible in Yunnan and Guizhou. There is another place! The other place is naturally the Northeast region today! The Northeast region is also deep mountains and forests, with sparsely populated areas, and the wood inside is even better than that in Yunnan and Guizhou! Although there is no way to transport by water and land is not very convenient, one thing is incomparable to Yunnan and Guizhou, that is, the Northeast region. It is very close to Youzhou! Even if Liu Bin thinks, the entire Northeast region is Liu Bin! Now Liaodong has belonged to Youzhou, and next to it is the Northeast region! Although there are Goguryeo and Huofeng in the Northeast region at this time, they are serious in Liu Bin, and these forces are simply vulnerable!
When they followed Gongsun Du to attack him, they temporarily let them go in order to deal with Gongsun Du. At that time, their main energy was still in the Central Plains. They didn’t care much about this, so they let them go! But now they need these places. Naturally, they can’t let them go! Now that Goguryeo and other forces have not recovered from the last loss, it’s a great opportunity to only offer them to them! The Northeast region is an inseparable part of China’s sacred territory. Now that I take them back, I just follow the destiny! It’s perfect!
Of course, another point is that if you want to attack the Northeast region, it will not affect your other strategies! After defeating Gongsun Du, he left Zhang Fei in the Liaodong region. He also left tens of thousands of soldiers and horses for her, and allowed him to expand his troops. Now there are tens of thousands of soldiers in the Liaodong region. These soldiers are still idle! Moreover, Zhang Fei, the guy, was jealous when he saw the Central Plains fighting lively, and kept writing a letter to ask for battle! According to the character of this spoof guy, if he was not allowed to fight, he would definitely cause some trouble. Since that is the case, then give him this opportunity!
Thinking of this, Liu Bin couldn't help laughing! Seeing Liu Bin, who was originally a little frowning, suddenly burst into laughter, and everyone was a little curious. When Cao Cao laughed, his subordinates were very clever and could make fun of it! The relationship between Liu Bin and his subordinates was closer than that between Cao Cao and his subordinates, so naturally there would be no one to make fun of it! So Guo Jia asked in a very interesting way: "Why is the lord laughing? I don't know if I can tell it out, let us all share the joy of the lord!"
Liu Bin smiled and said, "Haha! Actually, there is nothing more! It's just that we are getting along with each other to solve the last problem of building a navy. While solving a small problem, our Youzhou may have to add some territory!" Seeing that everyone was still a little confused about what the situation was, Liu Bin took the baton and pointed to the Northeast region and said, "Here! The naval personnel, shipyards, and craftsmen needed to build a navy, I have already had a solution just now. But there is another very important problem, that is, the large amount of high-quality wood needed to build warships! There is no or not enough wood to build a large number of large ships within our Youzhou area. But here is! There are countless hundred-year-old or even thousand-year-old giant trees. It's perfect for building warships!"
Liu Bin said and said with a smile: "The Goguryeo and other forces here also participated when Gongsun Du attacked our Youzhou last time. When we attacked Gongsun Du, in order to solve Gongsun Du as soon as possible, we let them go! But letting them go doesn't mean they will not be held accountable! At that time, we just didn't have the energy. Now that we have freed up our hands and need the wood there, we will naturally not let them go! After we solved Gongsun Du, we left tens of thousands of troops in the Liaodong area, and we also allowed Zhang Fei to recruit a large army wherever we were!
Now there are probably at least tens of thousands of troops there! These troops have been idle. The war in the Central Plains has not been used for them. Didn’t that guy Zhang Yide keeps writing a letter to ask for battle? Isn’t he idle? OK! Then I will give him this opportunity! Let him lead troops to attack Goguryeo and other forces! Take these places for me. In this way, the wood we need to build the navy will be settled! The army in Liaodong doesn’t have to stay idle and do nothing! At the same time, this does not affect our other plans in the Central Plains! How about taking more than one kill, why not do it? You said. Should I laugh?"
Everyone was lit up when they heard this. This was indeed a good way to kill multiple goals in one fell swoop! To be honest, they didn't expect that the wood needed to build warships would become a problem to limit the construction of warships! When Liu Bin said that, they also understood this! They naturally would not forget the fact that Goguryeo and other forces had followed Gongsun Du to attack Youzhou. But Youzhou has been busy with the Central Plains and has no time to deal with them! You must know that under the influence of Liu Bin, they were also vengeful to those foreign races who had hurt them. They were no longer the gentlemanly style of the past, and they would never blame the serious crimes committed by these foreign races!
The reason why they have never dealt with them is that Youzhou is focused on the Central Plains. The second is that they do not pay much attention to these remote places. They think that these places do not have much value in occupation! Another thing is that they have forgotten the army in Liaodong a little! I forgot that there are more than 100,000 Youzhou troops stationed there! Now that I think about it, the army has indeed been idle for a long time! With Zhang Fei's hot temper, it is naturally unbearable! Although he often asked for the above-mentioned battles, no one approved it. Now Youzhou is here
If you release this tiger that has been locked in a cage for so long at this time, then he will definitely fight desperately and do a good job! This is beneficial to Youzhou without any harm! Anyway, as the lord said, the Liaodong Legion is idle everywhere, so it would be better to find something for them to do! Anyway, this does not affect Youzhou's Central Plains strategy. While solving the wood needed to build warships, it can also vent some of the resentment of Zhang Fei, the tiger, and by the way, it can also expand the territory for Youzhou. How can you do it if you kill multiple goals?
To be honest, they were a little envious of Zhang Fei! Although Zhang Fei was ignored in the Liaodong region for so long, he has received a huge task at once and can achieve great merits! You must know that although other people here except Gan Ning are not considered military generals, they also know that if a general wants to establish great merits, the best way is to expand his territory! Why until now, people still miss the great cause of champion Hou Huo Qubing and sealing the wolf Juxu? That is because Huo Cavalry has built a huge territory for the Han Dynasty and built a huge
Territory! Expanding territory and enlarging the territory and sealing the wolf's servants is the highest honor of military generals! Although Goguryeo and other places have always claimed to be vassal states of the Han Dynasty. However, no matter how close the relationship between the vassal states and the sect leader states is, it is not as good as the benefits that you have personally occupied! Moreover, Goguryeo also offended the frontiers of the Han Dynasty from time to time, and they should have been dealt with long ago! You must know that the Huns were also vassals of the Han Dynasty! Didn't they still rebel frequently? So it would be better to eliminate these alien races! Such a good disciple was occupied by them, which was really a waste!
Although Zhang Fei has been ignored for so long, he has received such a good task at once, which is worthy of the grievances he suffered during this period! It also makes everyone envious of him! After only suffering such a small grievance, he can expand his territory and get the highest honor of the general. This deal is really cost-effective! If other generals know about it, they will definitely be jealous and will definitely want to exchange roles with Zhang Fei! And after Zhang Fei knows his mission, he will definitely be crazy! In fact, there is another advantage in this way, that is, the general is idle and there will be no complaints on his psychological side. They must also want to be the next Zhang Fei!
Thinking of this, everyone admired Liu Bin's scheming and wisdom even more! The lord's thinking about people's hearts is really amazing. Although Guo Jia and others think that their thinking of people's hearts is thorough enough, there is still a world of difference compared to the lord now! Our lord is still so unfathomable! However, if Liu Bin knew what they thought, he would definitely laugh secretly! He did this, but suddenly remembered it from another perspective. Although he had studied psychology, he was not so advanced. Although he was also scheming, he was not so profound! If he was in the same environment, he would not be enough compared to these old foxes who could become historical celebrities! (To be continued...)
