Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 583 It's okay, it's mainly because of the money

Zhuge Liang was "invited" back to Xuchang half a year earlier because of his outstanding work ability.

After returning to Xuchang, Zhuge Liang has never been assigned a job, but he is not anxious at all. He spends his days reading, traveling, and visiting friends in a relaxed and comfortable way.

However, the good days are always short-lived.

As soon as the imperial court issued a document, Zhuge Liang was transferred to the "General Administration of the Han Navy" and served as the military commander under Lu Yan, the commander of the navy, responsible for assisting government affairs and naval affairs.

Zhuge Liang is an extremely self-disciplined and diligent person.

After receiving the appointment document, he immediately came to General Hussar's Mansion.

To Zhuge Liang, General Hussar's Mansion was already very familiar.

After the doorman discovered that it was Zhuge Liang who knocked on the door, he immediately led Zhuge Liang to the backyard.

From the beginning of the new year to now, Lu Yan has been busy running outside, running to and fro innumerable places. His body is fine, but he is really tired.

Back at General Hushi's mansion, Lu Yan made a salted fish, and it was the kind that he didn't even bother turning over.

Moving the deck chairs to the yard, carrying a plate of fruit, basking in the sun while reading a book is really fulfilling and comfortable.

But Zhuge Liang's arrival interrupted Lu Yan's peaceful time.

"Student Zhuge Liang, see sir!"

Lu Yan was sleeping in a daze, but suddenly he heard Zhuge Liang's voice. He removed the book covering his face, propped up his upper body, and focused his eyes several times before successfully focusing on Zhuge Liang: "Kong Ming is here! Come to me Sit on the side."

"Here!"

After Zhuge Liang saluted respectfully, he came to sit down on another recliner next to Lu Yan, but the recliner seemed a bit awkward if he just sat on it.

Seeing this, Lu Yan couldn't help laughing and said, "Why don't you lie down and try?"

"Uh..." Zhuge Liang always paid attention to his manners, so he just lay down like this.
"It doesn't matter, it's just you and me anyway."

After repeated instigation by Lu Yan, Zhuge Liang could only try to lie down.

However, after lying down, Zhuge Liang immediately thought to himself: "Hey, this chair is really comfortable to lie on."

Lu Yan and Zhuge Liang were just lying on a deck chair basking in the sun.

At this time, Zhuge suddenly asked: "Sir, the student has a question I would like to ask."

Lu Yan reached out and picked a grape from the fruit plate, threw it into his mouth, and replied, "You say it."

Zhuge Liang pondered for a while, and after organizing his words, he asked, "Students don't understand, sir, why do you insist on building the shipyard by the Yellow River?"

Not only Zhuge Liang, I am afraid there are countless people who can't figure it out.

Lu Yan handed the fruit plate to Zhuge Liang and said, "The grapes just picked are plump and juicy, you should eat some too."

".Thank you."

Zhuge Liang tried to throw a black grape into his mouth, and suddenly a sweet and sour taste hit his taste buds.

Lu Yan also replied at this time: "The main consideration is the training of the navy and the issue of local materials.

There are many mountains and forests in the upper reaches of the Yellow River in Chenliu. We can organize manpower to transport the felled timber from the waterway to the shipyard, which can save a lot of transport capacity.

After the ship is built, the navy can train in the Yellow River, or go out of the mouth of the Yellow River to train in the Bohai Sea area. "

But there is another point that Lu Yan didn't say, that is, after the navy enters the Bohai Sea, it can go east to Liaodong County occupied by Gongsun Du.If you go further east, it is the Korean peninsula and the country of Wa
After Zhuge Liang was appointed under Lu Yan to assist him in handling the affairs of the General Administration of the Navy, he read a lot of documents and historical materials related to the ship and the navy.

Judging from what Zhuge Liang has learned so far, there were already various types of ships in the Han Dynasty: passenger ships, cargo ships, warships, etc.Among passenger ships, there are official ships and civilian ships; among civilian ships, there are boats, boats, boats, flat boats, light boats, boats, and boats.

As for warships, most of them were developed from civilian ships.

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he tried his best to open up maritime traffic and devoted himself to the exchanges between countries at sea.

With the efforts of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty successively opened up three important sea routes.

The first route starts from Dandong, Liaoning in the north and ends at the mouth of Bailun River in Guangxi in the south. This is the north-south coastal route.

The second route runs from the coast of Shandong to North Korea and Japan via the Yellow Sea.

The third route is called the Maritime Silk Road by later generations, that is, the Xuwen and Hepu routes.

Navigation in the Han Dynasty was already very developed, so the related manufacturing technology of warships would naturally not be far behind.

Nowadays, many types of warships have been developed, such as Ge boats, bridge boats, fighting ships, warships, and the largest building boats.

The warships at this time all followed the technology of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the most famous warship was the Louchuan.

The largest building ship in the Han Dynasty was more than ten feet high, which can be said to be an aircraft carrier at that time.

There are three-story buildings on the deck of the building ship, and parapets are set around each floor. There are a number of sword holes and spear holes on the parapets and battle grids, which can be used for long-distance attack and close-up defense.There is a lot of space on board, and horses and cars can be driven on the deck.

There is a cabin under the deck for the pawns to paddle.The pawns are soldiers who paddle, and the pawns in the cabin have good protection from the enemy's attack.The soldiers on the deck of the building ship held swords and fought hand-to-hand with the enemy.

Inside the parapet on the deck, there is a second-story building called a hut. There are also parapets around the hut.

There is also a third-story building on the hut, called Feilu, where the crossbowmen are hidden inside.Archers shoot arrows, which are long-distance offensive forces.

The highest floor is the royal room, which is equivalent to the wheelhouse and command room of a modern ship.

Today's building boats should take Jiangdong as the head. The largest building boats, Feiyun and Gaihai, are five stories high and can accommodate 3000 soldiers. They are like castles floating on the water.

In addition to the Lou Chuan, Jiangdong's other main battleship is called "艨艟", which is famous for its speed.

In the Battle of Chibi, the warship was the arson ship that raided Cao's fleet.

This small warship with a long, narrow shape and extremely fast speed is extremely fast and flexible, and can often do things by taking advantage of people's unpreparedness.

Not to mention warships, Ge boats, bridge boats, fighting ships, etc., they simply cannot travel far in the sea.

Although the building boat can barely sail in the sea, it is really very dangerous once it encounters wind and waves.

Even if the building ships can enter the Yangtze River along the coastal waters by chance, how can they fight against the Jiangdong and Jingzhou navy by relying on the building ships alone?These are the questions that troubled Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang asked his own questions and worries.

Lu Yan sat up straight slowly, and said: "The boat I want to build can not only sail in rivers, but also in the sea, it can also sail long distances!"

Zhuge Liang thought in his heart: "Sure enough!"

In fact, after thinking about it, he thinks that the only explanation for Lu Yan's insistence on doing this is, "He is sure to build a warship that can sail long distances in the sea."

But when Zhuge Liang heard that Lu Yan could really build this kind of boat, he still couldn't help asking: "Sir, are you really so sure about your boat?"

Zhuge has been cautious all his life, and he doesn't agree with things that are too risky.

"Are you sure? Don't you know if you try it after the ship comes out?"

"But it takes a lot of effort to build such a ship, once it fails."

"It's okay, we have a lot of money."

"."

Well, Lu Yan's words finally blocked Zhuge Liang's speech.
