Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After a pause, Huang Yueying said: "My Huang family has several small shipyards by the Han River, and there is also some shipbuilding business. When I was a few years ago, I did study the crafts of shipbuilding, but those were all.  It happened many years ago.¡±

    Sure enough.

    Yan Liang suddenly became excited and asked hurriedly: "Does Madam know the craftsmanship of building a fighting ship?"

    However, Huang Yueying didn't know when her husband would suddenly think of asking her about shipbuilding, and she couldn't help but feel suspicious in her heart.

    "Fighting ships I know that I know, but I don't remember many details. I'm afraid I have to read a book to recall them.

    "It's good if you can, it's good if you can." Yan Liang clenched his fists, becoming more and more excited.

    However, Huang Yueying became more and more confused and couldn't help but ask: "Husband, why did you suddenly think of asking me about shipbuilding?"

    "I have an idea about a new type of warship in my mind, and I would like to show my wife if it is feasible."

    Yan Liang was very excited. He immediately picked up the pen, unfolded a roll of parchment, and started to draw.

    Huang Yueying, full of curiosity, stood aside and lowered her head to take a closer look.

    Looking at it, Huang Yueying's face gradually became filled with an indescribable strange color.

    Yan Liang¡¯s drawing is indeed a drawing of a new type of warship. Although Yan Liang¡¯s painting skills are limited and the drawing is quite rough, Huang Yueying relied on her intelligence to roughly see the ingenuity in it.

    After writing the last stroke, Yan Liang threw the pen on the case and asked excitedly: "Madam, how about my new type of warship? Can it be built with the skills of our Jingzhou shipwrights?"

    Huang Yueying held the rough drawing with surprise on her face, as if she had seen a treasure, and excitement flashed in her eyes.

    "Husband, in this new type of battleship of yours, could it be that you want to use wing blades instead of oars?" Huang Yueying asked curiously.

    Huang Yueying really has an extraordinary talent in craftsmanship, just for a short moment.  Then he saw the key to Yan Liang's new warship.

    Yan Liang nodded and said with a smile: "Madam, you are indeed smart. That's why I call this new type of warship a chariot and ship."

    The chariot and boat were originally a type of warship that was only invented in the Song Dynasty.  The subtlety of this type of warship.  The purpose is to use wing blades installed on both sides of the warship instead of ordinary oars to drive the warship.

    This way, the sailors can hide inside the ship.  In a manner similar to treading water, the blades are rotated to provide forward momentum for the battleship.

    Such vehicles and boats can reach great speeds in inland rivers and lakes without relying on wind power.  Moreover, you can slow down or go backwards at any time by stepping backwards. Its maneuverability is far better than ordinary warships that rely on sail power.

    Furthermore, because all the soldiers who stepped on the wheel were hidden inside the ship, there was no need to worry about being shot by the enemy through the oar holes, and the warship did not need to worry about losing power.

    Yan Liang was thinking that with the quantity and quality of his existing warships, he was far from being able to form an overwhelming advantage over the Wu army in a short period of time.  He couldn't make up the difference in this area.

    So Yan Liang changed his mind and thought, why should he have to dwell on this? Why not change his thinking and use other methods to make up for this gap.

    Therefore, Yan Liang had an idea and thought of building a new type of warship.  Let Wu Ren's original familiar tactics be ineffective and mess up Wu Ren's position, then he can take advantage of the opportunity to win.

    Yan Liang doesn¡¯t have many historical memories of ancient warships. The most distinctive thing he remembers is this car and ship.  Moreover, what I remember is only a general concept, and I have no idea about the specific details and techniques.

    That¡¯s why Yan Liang drew this sketch.  He hopes to turn his "creative ideas" into reality with the help of his wife's intelligence.

    At this time, Huang Yueying was completely immersed in Yan Liang's "creativity". She was always eager to learn, and soon all her mental energy was devoted to this sketch.

    "Husband, your idea is really wonderful. The advantages of this ship can indeed help us recover from the disadvantage of the navy." Huang Yueying murmured.

    Yan Liang perked up and said hurriedly: "In my opinion, Madam, can this ship be built?"

    Huang Yueying thought about it for a long time, nodded and said: "The beauty of this ship lies in its creativity. As for the specific shipbuilding process, it is not too complicated. As long as your husband can allow me some time to perfect it, I want to use the ability of our Jingzhou shipwrights to build it."  It¡¯s not difficult to get there by car or boat.¡±

    Hearing Huang Yueying¡¯s confident words, Yan Liang suddenly felt as if he had taken a reassurance.

    Yan Liang naturally knew how superb his wife's craftsmanship was. Since she said she could make it, she would definitely be able to make it.

    ?When Yan Liang was excited, he suddenly hugged Huang Yueying and said with a big smile: "If Madam can build this car and boat, she will really have made a great contribution."

    It is rare for Yan Liang to be so happy. Huang Yueying was also happy and said with a smile: "If I have accomplished this feat, how will my husband plan to reward me?"

    "How to reward, hehe~~" Yan Liang showed a wicked smile, "I can't repay my husband, so I have to devote myself to my wife."

    With that said, Yan Liang carried Huang Yueying into the inner room.

    Huang Yueying immediately knew what he wanted to do, and said shyly: "Husband, it's still daylight"

    "It doesn't matter whether it's dawn or dusk, as a husband, I will pay the public food to my wife."

    "Public food, what kind of public food"

    ¡°Haha~~¡±

    ? ######

    After a while of happiness, as soon as it became light the next day, Yan Liang summoned Xu You, Jia Xu and other advisers to go to the state capital to discuss matters.

    In the hall of Nuoda, apart from Xu Shu guarding the front line of Xudu, all the wise minds under Yan Liang are already here.

    Since Banshi returned to Xiangyang, this was the first time Yan Liang held a military meeting attended by all advisers.

    All the counselors felt that Yan Liang seemed to have some important decision to announce, and the atmosphere in the lobby had already become heated.

    Looking around at everyone, Yan Liang said loudly: "Liu Bei has been crippled by us, and Yuan Shang has also been beaten. There will not be much threat from the north in the short term. I have decided that the next step is to raise troops to destroy Wu. Do you have any plans?"  No objection."

    Although Yan Liang had already mentioned his plan to destroy Wu when he was still in the north, it was always a private plan and was never clearly stated on a formal occasion.

    Today, for the first time, Yan Liang announced his plan to conquer Wu in such a solemn way.

    In the lobby, a murderous aura immediately spread.

    "If we don't destroy Soochow, we can't completely relieve our worries and go all out to fight for the Central Plains. This battle to destroy Wu is naturally inevitable."

    In front of the hall, Xu You was the first to stand up and support Yan Liang's plan to conquer Wu.

    As a minister of Yuan Gong, although Xu You is not the most resourceful one.  But the influence is definitely the greatest.  As soon as he stood up and expressed his stance, the other counselors also expressed their agreement.

    ¡°Ahem~~¡±

    Amidst the sound of approval, there were several dry coughs.  There are hints of different voices.

    Yan Liang raised his eyes and saw that the person coughing was Tian Feng.

    Tian Feng is from Hebei and is not very familiar with the south, so he was involved in the previous war against the Wu people.  Tian Fengdu had few suggestions.

    This time, Tian Feng unexpectedly wanted to express his opinion.

    Yan Liang had a strange expression on his face and asked happily: "Mr. Yuan Hao, do you have any opinions?"

    Tian Feng cleared his throat and stroked his beard and said: "It is imperative to send out troops to defeat Wu. Naturally, I support it with both hands. However, there are two things that I have to remind my lord."

    "Those two things. Mr. Yuan Hao, feel free to speak out." Yan Liang listened attentively.

    "This first thing is about the navy. As for the navy soldiers, they are trained by Gan Xingba and others, so there is no need to worry. What I am worried about is our army's warships."

    It turns out that the old man also thought of it

    Yan Liangliang wanted to laugh, but did not interrupt and continued to let Tian Feng speak frankly.

    "As the saying goes, if a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. Although I am not good at water warfare, I can still see it. Our water-making skills in Jingzhou are quite inferior to those in Soochow. I am thinking that if we can't create a harmonious  The warships are as sophisticated as the Wu people. If my lord wants to destroy Wu, the moon in the mirror and the flowers in the water will be out of reach. "

    Tian Feng is indeed Tian Feng. Like Yan Liang, he is keenly aware of the weaknesses of his own army.

    Moreover, the old man was still as upright and made no secret of his worries about whether Yan Liang could win the war.

    Tian Feng¡¯s words also reminded other counselors, and even Xu You frowned slightly.

    Yan Liang looked as usual, still calm.

    If Tian Feng had raised this matter before yesterday, Yan Liang might have been troubled for a while, but today, Yan Liang has enough confidence.

    At the moment, he just smiled faintly and said, "Sir, your worries are not unreasonable, but the general has its own solution to the warship matter, so you don't have to worry, sir. Let's talk about the second thing."

    When all the counselors, including Tian Feng, heard that Yan Liang had a solution, they couldn't help but look strange.

    Shipbuilding in JingzhouThe counselors present also know that this gap in hard power cannot be made up in a moment.

    Now Yan Liang is so confident, claiming that he has a solution. How can he not surprise the counselors?

    Since Yan Liang didn¡¯t want to reveal it, they couldn¡¯t ask more questions and could only secretly speculate out of curiosity.

    Tian Feng came back from his curiosity, coughed a few times, and then said: "This second thing is about the north. Now Yuan Shang and Liu Bei are seriously injured and cannot pose a threat to us for the time being, but please don't, lord."  Forgot, besides Yuan and Liu, there is also Cao Cao in the north. "

    These two things about Tian Feng really reminded Yan Liang.

    According to the latest intelligence from Guanzhong, Cao Cao has defeated Ma Teng and Han Sui one after another in Longxi, forcing Han Sui to flee to Xiliang with only a dozen cavalry, while Ma Teng was defeated in the Qishan area and asked Zhang Lu for help.  .

    From this point of view, Cao Cao's pacification of the Xiliang princes and the unification of the two states of Yongliang are already within sight. At that time, Cao Cao, who had no worries about his future, was indeed a big threat.

    Yan Liang nodded slightly, "What you said is extremely serious. Cao Cao must be on guard. I wonder what you can do to deal with it."

    Tian Feng was confident and immediately said: "As I said before, my lord has to fight another battle to weaken Cao Cao's threat before sending troops to attack Wu."

    "Where do you want me to send my troops, sir?" Yan Liang had a vague guess.

    Tian Feng stroked his beard slightly and said two words crisply:

    "Wuguan!"
