The God of War in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 307
As for the matter of training the navy, Chen Ran handed over the matter to Zhou Cang because he couldn't find a more suitable candidate for the time being.

However, Chen Ran didn't completely hand over the matter to Zhou Cang, but roughly made a charter for him.

In today's water battles, the most important thing is to rely on ships to attack, or to fight on top of ships.Chen Ran's request to Zhou Cang is that this army must be familiar with water, and be able to move freely on ships, as if walking on flat ground.

And the most important thing is to be able to be familiar with fighting by boat.Fighting on a warship is not a simple problem. Compared with fighting on land, there are many more uncertainties.

The first two problems are not really big problems.Because the troops that Chen Ran handed over to Zhou Cang were drawn from the surrendered troops.These troops were originally from Yangzhou for a long time, and there are not a few who are familiar with water.

The soldiers chosen for Zhou Cang are naturally the elite among them.The main problem is how to train them into formations, and how to exert the strongest combat effectiveness in water battles.

Chen Ran is not particularly clear about the problem here, so he can only leave it to Zhou Cang to figure it out on his own.

But Zhou Cang was very decisive. Hearing the task Chen Ran gave him, he took it without any hesitation.He also vowed to pack the ticket: "My lord, don't worry, the subordinates will do their best to train an elite navy for the lord!"

Hearing this, Chen Ran suddenly burst into laughter, nodded and said: "That's good, Yuan Fu, if you have any request, just ask, train the navy, I will never treat you badly."

Zhou Cang thought for a while, and even made a few requests, but in fact they were not really any requests.It's just asking for some hardware, like ships and so on.

Chen Ran ordered the craftsmen to build piers on the river bank and build boats to provide the most basic facilities for training the navy.

Although Chen Ran doesn't have much income in Yangzhou now, he has made a fortune in Luoyang City, and in the treasury of Shouchun City, he can almost be said to be extremely rich.

Even if there are already tens of thousands of horses under his command at this moment, under such circumstances, it can last for a long time.In the coming year, I am afraid that Chen Ran has already established his own channel, so this will not be a problem.

At the same time, the sheriffs of various counties also came to Shouchun City one after another.

To these county guards, Chen Ran did not deliberately show hostility, as usual, he hosted a banquet, but he wanted to see the reaction of these people.

In Shouchun City, in the governor's mansion, a rather grand banquet was held.Among them are the sheriffs of the various counties in Yangzhou, as well as the high-ranking officials in the state. This formation is extremely powerful.

During the banquet.

"I have seen the envoy!" Everyone bowed to Chen Ran together. In fact, their positions are at the same level, but now, the status of governor and governor of the state is very different from before.

Zhou Mu can be regarded as the number one officer in Yangzhou, but these top leaders in a county can only be regarded as the second class.Moreover, Chen Ran still has the will of Emperor Ling, so they naturally dare not show off and make trouble.

"You don't have to be polite, just take your seats!" Chen Ran smiled politely, then waved his hands casually, motioning for everyone to sit down.The people who came this time were quite neat, and all the prefects of the counties came.

The prefect of Wujun, the prefect of Lujiang, the prefect of Yuzhang, the prefect of Danyang, and the prefect of Kuaiji.Originally there was a Jiujiang prefect, but Zang Yu got rid of him because he got in the way.

It can be regarded as killing chickens to warn monkeys, and because of this, Jiujiang County was directly controlled by Zang Yu.

"You are all prefects of a county, and you are two thousand senior officials of the imperial court. Your Majesty sent me, Chen Ran, to Yangzhou to govern Yangzhou and solve problems for the people of Yangzhou." Chen Ran explained kindly, and his attitude seemed quite not bad.

Of course, Chen Ran looks like this, but the performances of these eunuchs are different. They each have their own slander in their hearts, but they dare not show it on their faces. They can only compliment: "It is Yangzhou's blessing to make you come to Yangzhou. If you ask the envoy if you are benevolent and virtuous, you will surely make Yangzhou rich and prosperous."

For these deliberate compliments, Chen Ran didn't take it seriously, he just smiled and silently remembered the prefect who said this in his heart.

"I didn't think that Benzhou Muchu had just arrived, and Yangzhou governor Zang Yu wanted to rebel. It's really heartbreaking! Yangzhou governor, what a position, is deeply trusted by His Majesty, but I didn't want to do such a thing!" Chen Ran looked disappointed, There was an inexplicable sense of sadness.

Chen Ran's words immediately made many county guards silent.What I have to say is that they each have their own plans, or they have more or less connections with Zang Yu.

Just like Lujiang County and Danyang County around Jiujiang County, they have the closest relationship with Zang Yu on weekdays, and they are also very obedient on weekdays, but they also have their own plans.

Zang Yu's authority cannot be fully controlled yet.As for other counties such as Wu County and Yuzhang County, Kuaiji County.The Wujun family is quite powerful, and they are not friendly to Zang Yu. On the surface, it seems that there is no problem, but in fact, the problem is not small.

As for Yuzhang County and Kuaiji County, listening or not is no longer a problem. They can't wait to solve the problem, but Zang Yu doesn't have the ability to solve the problem for them, so he wants to look good?
Ever since, the prefects of Yuzhang and Kuaiji said almost in unison: "Zang Yu really has a wolfish ambition to make Jun Zhennai eliminate harm for the people. I admire him for his humble position!"

Chen Ran glanced at them and nodded slightly.The prefects of Lujiang and Danyang also nodded with wry smiles and said, "Your Majesty has done nothing but to clear up the rebels in Yangzhou."

The prefect of Wujun also said solemnly: "The envoy is a great talent, how can a mere Zang Yu be able to resist?"

Chen Ran glanced over one by one. As for Liu Minghui and others, they were playing the role of light bulbs. They naturally knew what Chen Ran meant, but what they could do was to cooperate with Chen Ran.

"It's good that everyone understands things so well." Chen Ran said as if he had some understanding.

Chen Ran led the crowd to argue for a while, and brought the topic to the main topic. He looked at the crowd and smiled slightly: "Nowadays, there are continuous uprisings in various states and counties, and bandits and water thieves are not a few in Yangzhou."

There was a flash of light in everyone's eyes, and they looked at Chen Ran with serious eyes, looking worried.

"The thieves are so cruel, but the troops in the counties are extremely weak, and the power of one family can't stop it. From the point of view of Benzhou Mu, why not unite the army in one place? In this way, the thieves in Yangzhou can be wiped out, and Yangzhou can be returned. A world of peace." Chen Ran spoke eloquently and made sense.

However, Chen Ran's words made the atmosphere a bit awkward, the prefect of Wu County's pupils shrank slightly, and he said: "What Shi Jun said is very true, but I don't know what Shi Jun is planning?"
