Guo Jia, the ghost of the strongest military division

Chapter 1107 Return to Jizhou

Eliminating Goguryeo, and successfully sending Fuyu, the successor, to Wandu City, allowing them to bear the anger of Goguryeo Yuni, this time it can be regarded as a rewarding return.

After returning to Liaodong, Guo Jia left Tianyu as the prefect and Taishici as the general of the Liao Dynasty. He left [-] soldiers and horses to monitor Fuyu, Goguryeo Yuni and the natives of Sanhan, and returned to Youbeiping with the rest of the troops.

Tian Yu went to Liaodong, and Tian Feng, the governor of Youzhou, had to concurrently serve as the prefect of Youbeiping. Fortunately, the affairs of Liaodong were over, and there were basically no major events in Youzhou, so Tian Feng could do it alone.

Zhang Fei is still his general in Zhendong and stays in Youzhou.

Guan Yu Dianwei was naturally reluctant to part. The three brothers got drunk and parted ways the next day.

Guo Jia ordered Guan Yu, Zhang Liao and Jia Xu to return to the court, and he brought the Tiger Guards and Xu Rong's [-] soldiers to Jizhou.

……

"Congratulations, lord!"

Seeing Guo Jia coming, Lu Su, the captain of the navy, and Cheng Yu, the prefect of Bohai Sea, came out to welcome him, and Gu Yue, the general of Louchuan, came out together.

"Tell the good news to the lord, the third and fourth new warships have been built."

Gu Yue said excitedly.

There are a large number of copper and iron mines in Liaodong. Tian Yu built a wharf around the mine, and the ore that was mined was quickly transported to Jizhou by large ships. Jizhou also opened up enough firepower to recruit women and blacksmiths to start smelting iron and copper.

With so many resources, shipbuilding has also been greatly accelerated.

Before Guo Jia arrived, the third and fourth new-style warships had already been built, and Gu Yue and others were making preparations for it before launching.

"My lord, the establishment of the water army has been completed, and the warships are also ready. A force of 1 people can be dispatched at any time."

Lu Su also cupped his fists.

He, the commander of the navy, took charge of the overall situation, was responsible for training the navy, and supervised the manufacture of warships.

At present, the navy has become the absolute overlord among many arms.

There are ships and guns, and they are invincible.

In addition, Lu Su also supervised maritime transportation.

The large-scale development of Liaodong ore has driven the shipping industry, and this task has naturally fallen to the navy. As a result, some unused buildings have been transformed into large cargo ships, responsible for the transportation of goods between Jizhou and Liaodong.

It is precisely because of the mineral deposits in Liaodong that Jizhou's money bag has bulged greatly.

Under Cheng Yu's suggestion, Xu Shu, the governor of Jizhou, began to mobilize the peasants to dig the canal.

In just half a year, several major waterways in Jizhou were basically opened up.Turning Jizhou into a rich network of canals.

There are six ports in Liaodong, and there are three large ports in Jizhou and Youzhou. Cargo ships come and go every day. Along the way, [-] sailors led by Gan Ning patrol back and forth to ensure safety.

"My lord, the affairs of the canal are also progressing smoothly. Right now, the waterways in Jizhou are basically unimpeded. In time, we will be able to connect Youzhou and Yunzhou."

Cheng Yu also cupped his fists and said.

In these years, he has not been idle, and initially opened up the waterway off the coast of Jizhou.

In this way, Jizhou has become a network of waterways.

Thanks to these waterway networks, smelted copper and iron can quickly enter Yunzhou.

very good!

Seeing the results of Jizhou, Guo Jia nodded in satisfaction.

Although he is a time traveler and possesses the wisdom of thousands of years, after all, he can't do everything by himself.

Only by fully mobilizing the enthusiasm of your subordinates can you develop more harmoniously.

Right now, Guo Jia is only responsible for coming up with ideas and pointing out the direction, and the rest will naturally be carried out by these capable hands.

This is what he wants to see.

"How is Gongsun Du?"

Guo Jia suddenly remembered this question.

this……

Cheng Yu smiled slightly, and said: "A while ago there was news that he suddenly crossed the sea and captured Donglai, and he is now competing with Yuan Shao for Qingzhou?"

Good boy!
Guo Jia smiled and nodded.

This Gongsundu is quite obedient.

Anyway, it's a dog that bites a dog.

Give Gongsun Du the courage, and he dare not come to fight Jizhou.

never mind!

Let them bite first.

Guo Jia waved his hand.

"Prepare the boat, we're going to sea!"

Go to sea!

Hearing this sentence, everyone was a little stunned again.

This master has just returned from the conquest of Liaodong, and now he is about to go to sea again. He is a master who does not like to stop.

What are you doing in a daze?
Guo Jia said in displeasure: "The two new gunboats are still out!"

Yes, yes, Gu Yue hurriedly nodded, and brought Guo Jia to the shore without stopping.

Lu Su has already equipped the sailors and everything needed.

The ship was built, but the cannon was not installed, because only Yunzhou can cast this thing.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

With ships but no guns, it is temporarily impossible to travel far.

It seems that this man just wants to play in the offshore.

At this moment, a scout came suddenly.

"Report to the lord, Manager Zhao has arrived."

Director Zhao is naturally Zhao Yun's brother Zhao Shan.

Although he doesn't have the skills of his younger brother, he wins because he is serious and honest.

So Guo Jia has always asked him to be in charge of the production of gunpowder weapons, and now he has become the chief manager of Yunzhou Gunpowder and Firearms Workshop.

Just in time!
Guo Jia smiled and nodded.

In fact, when he came, he had sent a letter by flying pigeons, ordering Zhao Shan to escort the artillery to report to Jizhou. In order to protect the safety of these firearms, Guo Jia also specially asked Zhao Yun's cavalry battalion to escort them.

Zhao Shan came this time and brought two main cannons, one hundred meteorite cannons and one piece of ammunition.

The main cannon weighs several thousand catties, and the meteorite cannon weighs more than 1000 catties. This is not a small amount. Fortunately, there is a canal, otherwise it would be a very labor-intensive task to send it over.

"Zhao Shan greets the lord!"

Seeing Guo Jia, Zhao Shan was very excited.

"It's been a long journey!"

Guo Jia smiled and nodded, his eyes suddenly fell on the ugly boy beside Zhao Shan.

This is……

Guo Jia saw that although he looked ugly, he had a stalwart figure and a heroic spirit.

Seeing Guo Jia's question, Zhao Shan hurriedly said, "This is my adopted son, Ah Chou."

Zhao Shan is over three years old, but has never had any children. The arrival of A Chou gave him some relief.

Although the kid is a bit ugly, he is smart and has a good head. He has been helping Zhao Shan with the firearms workshop all these years.

Ah!
Hearing what Zhao Shan said, Guo Jia stopped asking.

"Unload the things and play here for a few days, don't worry, Cheng Taishou will entertain you."

Guo Jia said with a smile.

Due to confidentiality reasons, the firearms workshop in Yunzhou has always been mysterious, and the craftsmen rarely show up.

For more than ten years, Zhao Shan has been kept in the dark, and even his younger brother Zhao Yun rarely sees each other, and works in the workshop year after year.

Guo Jia felt a little guilty about this.

Letting Zhao Shan out this time is also to supplement him.

Zhao Shan shook his head.

"My lord, there are still many things to do in the workshop. I have to go back, otherwise I won't be able to sleep!"
