Chapter 539 Quxian Naval Base
Xu Fu was very shocked that Li Chen assigned such an important task to himself. It was said that he was thirty, but Xu Fu was fifty now, and now he finally climbed up to the top and hugged his thighs.
In the entire Xianyang City, there are no 10,000 alchemists like Xu Fu and eight thousand. Many people dream of Li Chen's big ship.
"Old Xu, do it well. If you can find the medicine to save Your Majesty, you will make a great contribution." Li Chen patted Xu Fu's shoulder and encouraged him.
"Master Marshal, don't worry, I, Xu Fu, will do my best and devote myself to my life until I die." Xu Fu said with a thrilling heart.
"Okay, there is no need to feel too much psychological pressure. I am lucky to be unable to get my life. I can just leave my life to the best of my life." Li Chen comforted.
Xu Fu was also moved when he heard Li Chen's words. Since people with the status of Li Chen had no airs at all, they had no intention of using their identity to suppress themselves. Instead, they sincerely comforted themselves.
"Master Marshal, I won't say anything. I will sell you this hundred pounds to you. If you ask me to go east, I won't go west, and if you ask me to beat a dog, I will never chase chickens." Xu Fu patted his chest and promised.
"I am in my heart. You are ready to go back and make preparations. Someone will inform you when you set off in the past few days." Li Chen said in words.
......
......
Xu Fu left, and left happily, just like the second spring in his life. He was thrilling and excited. Xu Fu was old and was about to usher in his highlight moment.
Three days later, the mighty army headed towards Qu Prefecture, and Xu Fu also followed this group of people. According to Li Chen's plan, the three thousand artillery soldiers who supported the Kamakura Shogunate would disguise themselves as alchemists to go to Fusang. Then, with the help of the Kamakura Shogunate and Muromachi Shogunate, Xu Fu would start looking for treasure medicine for the First Emperor in Fusang. Xu Fu and his friends would first go to Qu Prefecture, and then take Mengfei's large ship to Fusang.
Since this army is almost all new recruits, and basically all are soldiers from inland areas. Although some people also have a little water quality, their little water quality is limited to fishing in the river. In order to avoid these soldiers being chaotic when they arrive at the sea, Li Chen decided to send them to Qu County for training first.
The sea is different from the land. The wind and waves on the sea are huge, and even the Qin army's large ships are bumpy and undulating on the sea. Whether it is musketeers or artillery, fighting on the ship is a huge challenge for them.
Shooting on land and shooting cannons on ships are completely different things. If you shoot on land, you may not be on bumpy boats.
The tentative time for the sea training of soldiers in Qu County is three months. Now it is February, which means that these soldiers can probably go out to sea to fight. In one hand, three months is to allow these new soldiers to adapt to sea combat, and on the other hand, to let Fusang fight within himself first. When both of them are defeated, wouldn’t Li Chen be able to reap the benefits of sending troops?
"Han Xin, I'll leave these soldiers to you. I'll wait for two months before going to Qu County. You must train these soldiers well these days. The sea is not as good as land. Only by allowing our soldiers to adapt to the marine environment can this battle be easier." At the gate of Xianyang City, Li Chen patted Han Xin's shoulder and encouraged.
Xianyang is still inseparable from Li Chen, and he thought that Li Chen still gave the important task of training soldiers to Han Xin, which also made Han Xin feel quite Li Chen’s trust in him.
"Don't worry, Grand Marshal, Han Xin will definitely not let down the Marshal's trust again." Han Xin promised with confidence.
Since the last time he was caught by Hu Hai's plan, Han Xin led the Shenwu Army out of the city, and the fall of Xianyang City and Fusu was disabled, Han Xin had a knot in his heart, and even for a period of time, Han Xin had great doubts about himself. He once believed that it was because Li Chen had believed him wrongly, that Han Xin did not have such great ability.
Now, Li Chen once again handed over such a huge task, which made Han Xin unable to help but feel moved. Han Xin secretly decided in his heart that he could not let Li Chen down anyway. It was Li Chen who promoted him from an ordinary civilian to the deputy commander of the Shenwu Army. Han Xin must prove himself this time.
Li Chen sent the army thirty miles away from Xianyang City, and then stood there quietly watching the army heading towards Qu County. Until the entire army disappeared from his sight, Li Chen turned his head and rushed towards Xianyang.
Qu County, port.
Li Chen's letter had been passed to Qu County half a month ago. As Li Chen's representative in Qu County and the chief officer of the Maritime Affairs Office under Li Chen. Du Bishu had already brought up a team of tens of thousands of people and began to establish a naval training base for Li Chen on the beach one kilometer away from the port.
On the beach one kilometer away from the port, Du Bishu brought up a team of 20,000 or 30,000 people. Among these people were the indigenous people of Qu County, and the Qin people who came to Qu County to make a living, but more were migrant workers from the Sanhan area.
Thanks to the increasing prosperity of Quxian ports, the shipping industry in Daqin is also booming. Now, caravans from Sanhan area are used almost every month. These caravans are not only doing goods, but also doing business. Therefore, over the years, more and more migrant workers have come from Sanhan.
Compared with the poor Sanhan area, Daqin is undoubtedly a paradise for the people of Sanhan. Even when working as a coolie in Qu County, the money earns far more every year than in Sanhan. Therefore, in the Sanhan area, apart from some middle-aged and elderly people who are hard to leave their hometowns, many young people prefer to come to Daqin to develop.
"I'm just trying to work. We're building a military base, and no error can be used. While ensuring quality, you have to ensure speed. You must complete the work before the army reaches Qu County." The official in charge of supervising the Qin people said solemnly.
"Don't worry, we have been working in the port for a day or two. At that time, when the port was still a small wharf, I worked here. I promised to build it as strong as the port." A worker from Daqin promised.
"Don't worry, sir, we all obediently from all three Koreans. Although we have a little skills, we will definitely not be lazy when we work." The workers in the Sanhan area also expressed their opinions.
"Okay, you just have a clear idea. If the marquis's big affairs are delayed, we will not be able to afford it at that time." The official of the Qin Dynasty reminded.
