Sea boats are different from river boats.

Most of the river boats are flat-bottomed, and the river is calm and suitable for sailing.

On the other hand, the sea is rough, and flat-bottomed boats are easy to capsize directly.

Therefore, sea boats are completely different from flat-bottomed boats in terms of structure.

People in this era may not understand it very well, but Li Yunze knows it clearly.

He built a shipyard near the sea in Kuaiji County.

Naturally, there were no steel shipyards in this era. Whether it was a river ship or a sea ship, it was all made of wood.

The wood for building ships is naturally mainly oak.

Oak trees are not a single tree species, but a large genus that can be found all over the northern hemisphere.

Here in Dahan, oak usually refers to oak or eucalyptus.

Today's environment is very primitive, and there are countless thick and century-old trees everywhere, and there are naturally many oak trees and eucalyptus trees.

Li Yunze had arranged for people to cut down those qualified big trees, and they were almost usable after two years of drying in the shade.

As for the construction, just use the blueprints of sea ships from the age of great navigation.

But one important thing is that because there are bamboos in Huaxia, it is possible to make partitions.

Europa doesn't have one, and of course there is no compartment.

Add this modification, and the next thing is to build directly.

Compared with the difficult transportation of logistics materials on land with complex terrain, direct transportation by sea ships has more than ten times the transportation capacity and saving degree.

From the grain-producing north, sending ten shi of grain to the front line of Mitsukoshi, crossing mountains and rivers along the way, not to mention the use of a large number of civilians and time, it is a miracle that those who can finally reach the front line have two or three shi.

And a big ship with several thousand shi of grain, from the northern seaport where the grain is produced, can be delivered to the coastline of Mitsukoshi in at most ten days and a half month. Compared with land transportation, the manpower and material resources consumed That said, it's almost negligible.

The most convenient thing is that Mitsukoshi is by the sea, which is simply tailor-made.

Gongsun Ao, who was in high spirits, immediately started to make preparations after receiving the great benefits of the sea-going ship from Li Yunze.

On the one hand, it is to go to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to check the information of the counties in the south of the Yangtze River, and on the other hand, it is to urge the shipyard to speed up the construction speed and quantity of sea-going ships.

Conquering Mitsukoshi is not an easy task, and the preliminary preparation even takes more than a year.

However, while making preparations, diplomatic work can be prepared first.

For matters in this area, it is natural to go to the strategists.

Facing Gongsun Ao who came to visit, the father Yan was busy with business, so he also took time to entertain him.

After listening to Gongsun Ao's narration, the master's father stroked his beard and smiled, "Do you want to surrender all three Yues, or just one of them?"

Gongsun Ao was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "Can all three Yue surrender?"

The master father Yan said with a smile, "East Ou Kingdom is easy to talk about. It is close to Kuaiji County all the year round and is deeply influenced by the great Han. The most important thing is that their wars with Minyue Kingdom have failed one after another, and they are even in danger of destroying the country. As long as the imperial army is together, good words It is not difficult to appease the country

. "

"Been taught a lesson."

Gongsun Ao saluted and asked, "Is there any hope of recruiting the remaining two countries?"

"The leader of Nanyue, Zhao Tuo, is over a hundred years old, and has ruled the land of Nanyue for almost 80 years." The father Yan analyzed seriously, "He will not die, and it is useless for Nanyue to appease him."

"What if you die?"

"If he is dead, he can naturally spread rumors in his country and cause his descendants to fight among themselves. It is also feasible to wait for the army to approach the city and fight one after another."

Gongsun Ao nodded again and again, "What about Minyue Kingdom?"

Speaking of this, Zhu Fuyan showed embarrassment on the contrary.

"The ruler of Minyue is quite capable and popular. It is not easy to appease him."

Seeing the disappointment on Gongsun Ao's face, Zhu Fuyan felt that his professional ability was underestimated, he coughed, and then said, "However, if we can break through Dongou and Nanyue first, blockade all parts of Fujian and Yue, and when the army gathers, or May have the ability to appease."

"Thank you, Prime Minister, for your advice."

Gongsun Ao saluted, raised his wine glass and signaled, "In the future, I will defeat Mitsukoshi, so I will never forget the merits of the prime minister."

When Gongsun Ao was running around to eliminate Sanyue, Li Yunze received three more ministers here.

These two are father and son, Li Guang, his eldest son Li Danghu, and his second son Li Jiao.

"Li Guang, you have devoted yourself to serving the country, and you have made great contributions." Li Yunze looked at Li Guang with satisfaction. I am very pleased."

Li Guang blushed at the words, he was lucky, he bumped into Liu Dingguo who was running when he was lost, otherwise, this attack with the army must have been a waste of time.

At that time, don't say any credit, those militiamen who followed him will inevitably spread their grievances on Li Guang and his son.

Of course, I can't help but ask myself this.

Li Guang thanked the gift according to the procedure, but he took the initiative to say, "Your Majesty, the one who captured the traitor to Liu Dingguo is a dog."

"Ok?"

Li Yunze instantly understood what he meant by saying this, it was to give credit to his son.

Li Danghu eagerly called out "Father."

"Shut up!" Li Guangguang was furious, "Your Majesty, how can you make a mistake in person! Don't speak."

Li Yunze was also a little funny, glanced at Li Gan who was among the officials not far away, looked away and said, "Since this is the case, then this merit will be counted on Li Danghu, and he will be named Tinghou."

"Thank you, Your Majesty~~~"

Li Guang, who saluted sincerely, burst into tears.

Their old Li's family has finally made their mark with the big man, and finally has a Marquis.

Well, Li Guang is a descendant of Li Xin, the general of the Qin State, the same Li Xin who led an army of 20 to attack the State of Chu before Wang Jian.

Li Xin, who made great contributions to the pacification of the six kingdoms, was named Marquis by Zulong, and thrived in Longxi.

But when it comes to the big man, the Li family has struggled for many years, until now they finally have the title of marquis, even if it is just a marquis of Ting, he is also a marquis.

"As for you."

Li Yunze looked at Li Guang, and then said, "There is a lot of waste in Youbeiping, you should be the sheriff of Youbeiping, so as to protect the border area, and don't let the Huns enter the customs again to harm the people."

Returning to the system from the status of a commoner, Li Guang was even moved to tears, saluted with a choked voice, "I will live up to your Majesty's entrustment~~~"

Seeing his appearance, Li Yunze couldn't help persuading him, "When you arrive in Youbeiping, pay attention to the environment outside the Great Wall. If you send troops, you'd better find some guides."

Li Guang didn't think too much, and thanked him again.

During the Hundred Years War between the Great Han and the Huns, although the Huns often invaded, the border generals and captains of the Great Han would send troops outside the Great Wall from time to time to catch a small tribe and beat them up.

It's just that because of the lack of cavalry and guides, basically they don't go deep and only look for opportunities near the border.

The real large-scale in-depth war in the territory of the Xiongnu will wait until the rise of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing.

"All the men and horses you lead can be included in the ranks of the main soldiers of the Han army, and they are all equal to the main soldiers when they are rewarded for meritorious service."

These words moved Li Guang even more.

He is a person with a sense of responsibility. He was elected as the leader by everyone. Naturally, he wanted to find a way out for the big guy.

For those militiamen who followed the imperial army, becoming a regular soldier after making meritorious service is the ultimate pursuit.

Now that this wish has been fulfilled, Li Guang is naturally grateful and has lived up to everyone's expectations of him.

Before the matter was over, Li Yunze looked at Li Danghu and said, "Would you like to command the navy?"

"Navy?"

Li Danghu looked at the emperor in surprise, "I am from Longxi."

In Longxi, there are often cavalry.

"It's not important." Li Yunze waved his hand and said, "As long as you have perseverance, there is nothing you can't do. I intend to order you to be the commander of the navy, and command the navy to participate in the battle to put down Mitsukoshi."

It was the first time for Li's father and son to hear that the emperor wanted to put down Mitsukoshi, and as a family of generals, their eyes lit up.

Li Danghu said without hesitation, "I am willing to die for Your Majesty!"

As long as you can participate in the war and have the opportunity to make meritorious service, let alone be the captain of the navy, you can even be a militiaman.

In fact, it was precisely because Li Yunze included thousands of militiamen who followed Wei Qing to conquer the Xiongnu in one breath this time as the official soldiers of the imperial court. As a result, when Gongsun Ao's army went to Sanyue, it attracted countless young people from all over the Han Dynasty. Followed as a militia, its
The scale was so huge that it almost caught up with the number of regular soldiers in the imperial court.

Among the officials, Li Gan twisted his body, hesitating to speak, staring at the emperor like fire.

Sensing Li Gan's gaze, Li Yunze smiled slightly, and said to Li Guang, "Let Li Gan go to work with Li, your second son, Li Jiao, and be an official by my side."

Li Jiao's health is not very good, and he died of illness early in history. It's better not to fight, but to stay in Chang'an City.

Everyone in the Li family was overwhelmed with gratitude, and they all saluted Li Yunze to thank him.

"Li Danghu."

"The minister is here."

Li Yunze, with a smile on his face, instructed, "National affairs are indeed important, but family inheritance should not be delayed. While you have time now, you can get married first, and I will give you a house in Chang'an New City."

Li Danghu died earlier in history, leaving only one child, who was still posthumous.

The child's name is Li Ling.

In the Han Dynasty, most of the names were two characters. The reason why Li Danghu was named three characters was that when he was born, it happened that Li Guang defeated a tribe of the Huns and captured the leader of the tribe alive. When the household.

The big household is a Hun military post, leading thousands of soldiers and horses is equivalent to a Han army lieutenant.

Defeating thousands of Xiongnu soldiers and horses in the First World War, and capturing Da Danghu alive was also a proud achievement during the reign of Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, the delighted Li Guang named his eldest son Li Danghu.

As for Li Ling, facing the siege of [-] Huns, being able to fight until the arrows and food ran out is already worthy of the big man.

Moreover, he wanted to escape back to the Han Dynasty later, but Gongsun Ao, who was in charge of supporting him, failed to meet the success. Instead, he lied to Emperor Wu, saying that Li Ling had no intention of returning from training the Xiongnu soldiers and horses, which directly led to the annihilation of Li Ling's family.

Now Li Yunze arranged for Gongsun Ao and Li Danghu brothers to pacify Sanyue together, it was really like a fateful arrangement.

Huo Qubing had already been born, if Li Ling was also born, Li Yunze could take them all by his side to train them.

With Li Yunze in this life, he will never let this strange man in China die prematurely, but let him live a long life!
