Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator
Chapter 144 The Sea
Two days later.
Regarding the famous Yingchuan scholar Guo Tu who was locked up by a strongman, something humiliating seemed to have happened, and the fact that Guo Tu even lost five of his teeth afterwards has been widely spread in Wu County.
Even Li Ji, who usually works at two o'clock and one line at a time, heard about this incident and sympathized with Guo Tu's experience.
Subsequently, Li Ji also ordered, in his capacity as the county magistrate, to carry out severe crackdowns within Wuxian County and to further protect the safety of many scholars who came to Wuxian County.
The only thing that made Li Ji a little confused was that after checking the county government's case files that recorded the incident, he found that it was described by some passers-by who had witnessed the murderer's appearance.
Looking at the restored portrait of the young man, Li Ji always felt a little familiar, and the man also spoke with a thick Yandi accent...
Although Xiahou Bo's further investigation later revealed that they were a group of horse dealers who passed through Wu County and had fled Wu County after committing the crime. They are now being urgently investigated.
This made Li Ji couldn't help but have a guess in his mind...
And Li Ji tried to deduce it through the "strategy simulator". According to various known clues in the case file, the probability that the person behind all this was Liu Bei was more than 88%.
'Forget it, just pretend I don't know. '
Li Jiquan thought it was Guo Tu who had offended Liu Bei, so that Liu Bei, who always treated others with kindness, actually learned to do evil things.
As the matter gradually spread in Wu County, Guo Tu had no shame in staying in Wu County anymore, and left Wu County in a hurry.
Since the victims obviously didn't care, this naturally became an unsolved case that no one paid much attention to. It was only occasionally mentioned in the casual chats between the people of Wuxian County and many scholars after dinner.
Especially when someone told Guo Tu what he said, "How do you know if my sword is strong?", and then he was locked up and dragged into the room by a strong man and humiliated, which made this sentence become a laughing stock for a while. .
"I don't know if Mr. Gongze has a shadow in his heart after this incident, and whether he can benefit from it in the future."
Li Ji sighed with emotion, but he couldn't help but smile.
Sun Ce, who was following Li Ji, said matter-of-factly on his small face. "How can a man stand still despite such setbacks? Mr. Guo calls himself a famous scholar in Yingchuan, so he wouldn't be so fragile."
"hope so."
Li Ji said something, and then, under the protection of Zhao Yun, Sun Ce and other cavalry, he left the city and headed toward the northeast of Wuxian County.
The two most important things in Wu County now are water conservancy and the shipbuilding factory.
With the help of many scholars, water conservancy has begun to advance steadily.
The initial preparations for the shipbuilding workshop have also been completed, and a large amount of information related to ships has been obtained. Liu Bei also personally visited many aristocratic families for help.
However, there has been a lot of controversy over the location of the shipbuilding factory, so that it has not been decided yet.
Therefore, Li Ji decided to go and inspect it in person.
Liu Bei, who was worried about Li Ji's safety during his trip, once again equipped Li Ji with cavalry led by Zhao Yun as a guard.
This made Li Jilue somewhat helpless and could only accept Liu Bei's kindness.
After leaving Wu County, Li Ji first headed east to Lou County to rest for a while, and then rushed to the coastline again to find a natural port suitable as a shipbuilding factory.
Because Li Ji's original intention of establishing the shipbuilding workshop was to build sea-going ships.
Judging from the shipbuilding technology Liu Bei asked from various aristocratic families, Li Ji found that after combining the shipbuilding technology of each family, he was fully capable of building ships for offshore navigation.
(PS: This technology was indeed already available at the end of the Han Dynasty. During the Three Kingdoms period of the Eastern Han Dynasty: Sun Quan sent generals Wei Wen and Zhuge Zhizhi to lead tens of thousands of warriors across the sea to Yizhou. It can be seen that Soochow had mastered the ability to transport tens of thousands of warriors across the sea at that time. Strait capabilities.
This can be regarded as Sun Quan’s greatest contribution to the entire China as the lord of Jiangdong~)
Therefore, Li Ji planned to locate the shipbuilding workshop on the eastern coastline of Lou County from the beginning, with the purpose of directly building sea-going ships.
When Li Ji actually saw the sea at this time, he felt that the sea at this time was so beautiful that it made people feel intoxicated. Li Ji couldn't help but take off his shoes and socks, stepped on the beach, and then scooped up the water. A handful of clear sea water was thrown forward vigorously.
"It's so beautiful!"
"This is the ocean that is waiting to be exploited by humans like a treasure, not the polluted ocean that will exploit humans at any time in the future..."
Li Ji sighed with emotion, looking at the beautiful sea in front of him from afar and greedily.
Li Ji, who had always been an enigmatic wise man in the eyes of Zhao Yun and Sun Ce, showed such an attitude, but it made Zhao Yun and Sun Ce a little uncomfortable.
"Cer, come here."
Li Ji said something, and Sun Ce immediately walked to Li Ji's side obediently, insisting on the disciple's courtesy.
"Cer, do you know where the enemy is?" Li Ji asked.
Sun Ce looked in the direction Li Ji was pointing in confusion, seeing nothing but the empty sea, and replied.
"I don't know."
"The enemy is at the end of the sea." Li Ji said, which made Sun Ce somewhat confused.
"Ce'er, the land of Wu is very small, and the big man is also small, but the sea is so big that there is no limit..."
Li Ji patted Sun Ce on the shoulder and said in a deep voice. "Perhaps you won't be Zilong's opponent in a mounted or infantry battle, so why not consider a water battle?"
"How wide is the ground? How can it be wider than the sea? Ce'er may not be able to become the strongest person on the water in the future."
Regarding the rest of the matter, Sun Ce listened somewhat vaguely, but on how to defeat Zhao Yun, Sun Ce listened attentively.
For Sun Ce, there is nothing more important in the world than defeating Zhao Yun to avenge his shame. If there is... it is to defeat Zhao Yun twice.
However, Sun Ce couldn't help but raise his own doubts and said. "But, where did the enemies on the sea come from?"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Li Ji couldn't help laughing out loud and said.
"Under the sky, there is nothing but the king's land; on the shore of the land, there is nothing but the king's ministers."
"Cer'er has never been to the sea, yet he dares to say that there are no foreign enemies on the sea? A man's life is to open up new territories, how can he waste his life living in Wu for a long time?"
"Perhaps, the land of Wujun is far away from the northern border, but it is very close to the sea. When Ce'er comes of age, why not lead his troops to conquer the sea, so that under the light of the sun and moon of my great Han Dynasty, everything will become the territory of Han?"
It has to be said that these few words completely aroused Sun Ce's desire to become a second grader.
Which man of the Han Dynasty does not admire Huo Qiaoqi? Which man of the Han Dynasty does not want to expand territory for the Han Dynasty and conquer foreign races?
Wujun is far away from Northern Xinjiang, but very close to the sea...
For a moment, Sun Ce looked at the sea in front of him and his eyes became hot unconsciously.
Li Ji, who had taken advantage of the situation to deceive Sun Ce, continued to look for a suitable natural port along the coastline.
Previously, Li Ji had also exchanged experiences with Jiang Qin and Xu Sheng on the use of water troops. Leaving aside Jiang Qin, who mostly relied on bravery and water-based warfare, Xu Sheng also had some experience in using water troops. , but Li Ji discovered that what Xu Sheng was talking about was all about water battles in rivers and lakes.
Compared to rivers and lakes, the sea is a completely different copy.
Therefore, Li Ji couldn't help but plan to train Sun Ce, who was still young and not yet fully formed, into a naval combat talent.
Anyway, for the entire Han Dynasty, naval warfare is an unfamiliar blank field, so it is better to slowly polish Sun Ce.
In Li Ji's view, the title "Jiangdong Little Overlord" is not good at all. Instead, it is full of contempt.
How can a big man be named "little"?
Be big!
If Sun Ce goes to the sea, he may not be able to become a man who becomes the "Sea Overlord".
Sun Ce's passionate temperament is undoubtedly more suitable for riding the wind and waves on the sea!
Therefore, bringing Sun Ce with him this time was a deliberate move for Li Ji. Li Ji had even prepared to find a way to trick Sun Ce into staying in the shipbuilding factory and recruit a group of sailors as the backbone.
Although Sun Ce has not officially worshiped Liu Bei as his master, this is only because of Sun Jian, and Sun Ce has officially worshiped Li Ji as his master, serving him as a disciple.
Sun Ce's character may have many flaws, but there is no doubt that Sun Ce values love and justice, and that is enough.
Even if Sun Ce, who developed a talent for naval warfare, returns to Sun Jian in the future, the shipbuilding technology will be updated and iterated step by step. Those who start early will often create a generation gap that is difficult to catch up in a short time than those who start later.
Therefore, when the Liu Bei Group, which has fully established its ship superiority, engages in a water battle with anyone, it will be a flying dragon riding on the face. What can Sun Ce do without a ship?
In the blueprint of the sea painted by Li Ji, Sun Ce was also unknowingly aroused with endless interest.
"It is rumored that there is a thing in the sea named Kun..."
“The Kun is so big that it cannot be stewed in ten thousand pots, and catching just one can feed hundreds of households for a season.”
"It is also rumored that in ancient times, a king stored a supreme secret treasure somewhere overseas. As long as he finds that secret treasure, he can become the uncrowned king of the sea."
"I once heard that there are two strange things overseas that can be used as food. The yield per acre is ten times that of rice, which can make the world free from hunger..."
For a moment, Sun Ce, whose whole head was filled to the brim, was very excited when he heard this. In Sun Ce's little mind, and in the description of the respected Mr. Zikun, the sea has become a treasure that seems to be infinitely exploitable.
As long as it can be found in the sea...
"Teacher, I want to go to sea!"
Sun Ce requested firmly. "I want to find the big Kun for my teacher, I want to find the big secret treasure, and even more, I want to find the rare thing that can make a man hungry."
"You're too young."
Li Ji rubbed Sun Ce's head and said in a desperate manner. Li Ji was very good at handling such a little kid.
And Sun Ce really had a character that became more agitated the more he was agitated, he said loudly.
"When Gan Luo was twelve years old, he went on a mission to another country and was worshiped as a minister. Now that I, Sun Ce, am ten years old, how can I be inferior to others?!" (End of Chapter)
