Xiliang Iron Cavalry

Chapter 585: Forming a Water Army

When the establishment of a navy was put on the agenda, the craftsman workshop started its busy days again. Jia Rong was determined to form a powerful navy. It was best to go to sea to conquer the island country. The most important battleship For the boat, Jia Rong decided that the appearance of the building boat should be made of steel. In the eyes of people in this era, iron would sink in the water, and they didn't understand the function of such a building boat.

Jia Rong only slightly modified the blueprint of the building and ship sent by Zhou Tai, and then ordered the craftsman workshop to build it. There is also a warship battlefield, which is used to charge the battle. Naturally, it must be well-built. Seawater is very corrosive. Building too many warships will only become a burden for the Xiliang Army.

Tens of thousands of craftsmen began to build day and night, and the money stored in the warehouse flowed out like running water. At this speed, the formation of the naval army was completed, and the money was almost consumed.

Fortunately, there was no war in the Xiliang Army, and everything was on the right track.

Jia Rong didn't seem to want all the money from Prince Liang's Mansion, so he openly started recruiting funds, called building a navy to defend his homeland. People, merchants, officials, and families can donate money. No matter how much money is donated, the money donated must be made public, so that the people can see see.

The officials in Chang'an are a bit puzzled by the situation. Ordinarily, the establishment of a navy should be a very confidential matter. Why do they openly ask for money from merchants, people, and official families? Moreover, they follow the principle of voluntariness. ?If the businessman doesn't donate money, will he feel at ease?Whether doing business in the city will be fearful or not is unknown. Under such unknown fear, merchants are more willing to choose to spend money. They only need to hand over some money to buy peace of mind. Why not do it.

The common people have an inexplicable trust in Prince Liang's Mansion. Many people even donated a little of their family property in order to establish the navy. They don't know what the navy is, but they know that their happy life is the Xiliang army. The defense is the result of the army's hard work outside. The officials who govern the local area not only allow the people under their rule to live and work in peace and contentment, but also promote the Xiliang Army from time to time, so that the people can think of digging when they are living a happy life. Well people.

The purpose of Jia Rong's doing this is to let the people under the Xiliang Army have a sense of responsibility, that is, the development of the army has nothing to do with you. When the enemy comes, you must pay when you should, instead of just thinking What kind of Taiping man should he be? When he sees the flames of war start, he will flee in embarrassment. Only when the people put in enough effort will he have a deep affection for the army and the city, and a strong sense of belonging. , Raise the sword and gun in your hand and go to battle to kill the enemy. This kind of ideological change needs to be carried out slowly, and it will not be successful overnight.

The common people contribute the least amount of money, but it is to implement Jia Rong’s general purpose. The amount of money paid by the merchants is second. Jia Rong will definitely not let the merchants leave Chang’an just because you donate less money. Maybe it’s because the merchants of the big man are used to it. Exploited, not adapted to this too democratic life. [

The establishment of the navy army was extremely powerful. At this time, there were nearly 200 million people under the Xiliang Army's rule, and the donated money reached more than 3 million. Such a sum, even Jizhou's annual income may not be enough. So much, but Jia Rong collected so much money lightly with an edict.

When Prince Liang's Mansion announced the amount, not only Chang'an was shocked, but the whole world was shocked, 2000 million yuan, the princes knew that the people and businessmen in Chang'an were very rich, but they didn't expect that they would be willing to donate the money for Xiliang military use To form an army, 2000 million to [-] million. When Yuan Shao heard this amount, his face was full of surprise, and then he was unwilling. The Yuan family has always been the pillar of the family, but it is not as good as Jia Rong, who was born as a general. I am afraid it is difficult to have so much money in Jizhou, and Jia Rong just finished it with one sentence. May I ask if you will still fight with the Xiliang army in the future? The other party will smash you to death with money.

The Xiliang army once again showed its ferocious side, with unparalleled cohesion. The people who suffered and suffered back then came to Chang'an and owned everything. They can't forget how they came to be now. After coming out, maybe those few hundred dollars are nothing, and now there are 2000 million.

Not only the princes, but even the officials in Chang'an were very surprised, but when they saw Jia Rong's calm expression, everything was as expected, they realized that they had done so many things for the people when they gathered the refugees , is waiting for a rewarding day, and this is just the beginning.

The merchants donated the most money, no matter which state or county they came from in the Han Dynasty, their interests at this time were shared with the Xiliang Army.

Not only the cohesion of the people, but also the cohesion of the merchants. War is a huge money-burning machine. Why not mobilize the enthusiasm of the merchants so that they can truly experience the pleasure of profiting from the war.

Jia Rong secretly summoned well-known merchants in the city to discuss strategies that are very important for the Xiliang Army's future battles in Fenglailou, how to earn money and supplies from the hands of the princes.

As we all know, the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang Army is the best in the world, not only the quality of the soldiers, but also the equipment, the equipment of the Xiliang Army, which princes in the world do not yearn for, and businessmen can seize the mentality of the princes and sell them to the princes. Weapons, sell war horses, obtain their iron materials, and sell them to the craftsman's workshop to continue to make weapons. In this way, the craftsman's workshop will not only be the money-burning bank of the Xiliang army, but will become the biggest rich man, refining refined steel , is still very unfamiliar to the Central Plains, as long as such weapons are taken out, why not set off a shopping frenzy in the Central Plains, in order to improve their own strength, the princes will not care about money expenses, just like Yuan Shao and Jia Rong just sold some of the weapons eliminated by the Xiliang Army, and easily obtained a lot of money.

Of course, these weapons are not the best, maybe they are more than [-] steel smelting steels, but they are rare and good weapons in the hands of the princes, and they can obtain great benefits with small consumption.

This matter is of great importance, Jia Rong handed it over to the Wei family and the Mi family to take charge of it. It is much easier for veterans in the mall to do such a thing, but within a few months, many princes were surprised to find that they There was a merchant selling weapons called Xiliang Arms Shop in the prefecture, but anything that could be named after Xiliang was very attractive. It was believed that there was an invincible Xiliang army in this world.

Of course, the weapons on the surface are high-quality goods, but they are far from enough. They want to trade with the princes, so that the princes will willingly trade the money and raw materials in their hands, and the weapons on the surface are naturally provided to the aristocratic family , princes need strong strength, and the same is true for aristocratic families. In troubled times, the strength of aristocratic families cannot be underestimated. Their combined wealth cannot be compared with ten princes who rule them. The secret background is not trivial.

After Yuan Shao saw Jia Rong’s fundraising behavior under his rule, he also yearned for it, and issued an edict to let his officials raise donations in his class, but the final result was a bit bleak, only 1000 million yuan, and many businessmen gave Yuan Shao face For this reason, as for the common people, they would not be willing to hand over the money in their hands to the Jizhou army unless they were "forced" to the top. There were bursts of "riots", and many people openly resisted because they could not bear the squeeze of officials, so that more bandits and robbers appeared.

The Xiliang army's great efforts to build a navy are widely spread throughout the world. In fact, the money can't create much. The most important thing is to let the people find a sense of accomplishment.

Zhou Tai was very excited when he heard the news that the Xiliang Army was about to form a water army again. He was the commander of the Xiliang Army water army back then, and he never thought about the rebuilding of the water army. He has been in the Jingzhou navy, and gradually he has discovered many things that he did not think of before. He is confident that if he forms a navy again, the combat effectiveness will become stronger, surpassing the Jingzhou navy and Jiangdong. The army is not a problem.

Zhou Tai is highly skilled in martial arts, and he is bold. He easily won the favor of the generals in the army. Even Cai Mao and Zhang Yun trusted him. Of course, there is a big gap between Cai Mao and Zhang Yun. Zhou Tai does not want to get involved in the Jingzhou family Among the disputes among the generals, the generals are at ease, otherwise he would not have obtained the map of the Jingzhou Navy's building and boats. [

Jiang Qin in Jiangdong secretly kept in touch with Zhou Tai.

Today's Jingzhou water army and Jiangdong water army, looking at the world, can outshine others, and when the Xiliang water army grows up.

Regarding the establishment of the Xiliang army's water army, the reactions from various places were mixed. Liu Biao laughed, and Sun Quan was puzzled. The cavalry on land is the king, but in the water, can they still keep the enemy? If they know the Zhoutai water village back then If it was the Xiliang Navy, they would definitely laugh at them fiercely, and their vigilance would collapse in an instant.

The contempt and bewilderment of the princes does not represent the thoughts of the people under the Xiliang army. The one thing they are most concerned about now is the Xiliang water army. They have a kind of blind trust in Jia Rong or the Liang Palace.

This trust has been earned through years of hard work.

In Prince Liang's mansion, Gan Ning knelt down on the ground and wept loudly, "My lord."

Jia Rong stood at the head, motionless, as if he was remembering something, while Gan Ning knelt on the ground, feeling uneasy.

After a long time, Jia Rong sighed, "Get up."

Following his strength, Gan Ning stood up.

"What happened back then, let it go in the past, no one will embarrass you, practice the water army well to fight on the water in the future, let the Jiangdong army and Jingzhou army see the demeanor of the Xiliang army."
