Rampage through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 234 Navy
Seeing the "Envoy of the Eight Great States" standing in front of him, Zhang De had the urge to grab Wang Qiong and beat him up.

The man in front of him had black hair, black eyes, yellow skin, and was very short, only 1.5 meters five at best.

Wang Qiong looked at Zhang De with a smile, as if I had made great contributions.Suddenly, a few words came out of Zhang De's mouth: "Damn, it's a little Japan!"

When Zhang De was in the Eighth Route Army in his previous life, he had a lot of dealings with the Japanese, just as he looked at the hairstyle of the man in front of him, he was dressed up, he was a Japanese, and he was so stupid that an Atlantean came here.

At this time, the Japanese knelt down, and said in impure Shandong dialect in fear: "The foreign minister was ordered by Queen Himiko of the Eight Great States to meet the Lord of the Heavenly Dynasty..."

Zhang De's mood at this time was completely disturbed by the Japanese, so he had no intention of talking to him, so he said fiercely: "Wang Qiong, I will leave this person to you!" After speaking, he ran away without looking back. Go inside the hall.

At this moment, even a fool could see that Zhang De didn't like this dwarf.Wang Qiong was flattering to the horse's leg.

……

Wang Xiu hurried to Zhang De's residence.For no other reason, father Wang Qiong made the lord unhappy again!

At this moment, Zhang De also calmed down.Just now the emissary said that he was sent by Queen Himiko. This Himiko was a pro-Wei person in history. Emperor Xian once conferred on her, and after Cao Pi usurped Han, Himiko also had many contacts with Cao Wei.

The distance from Japan to Dongnae is not close, but this envoy was able to come. It seems that the Japanese shipbuilding technology has been able to carry out ocean voyages at this time.

During the Qin Dynasty, Xu Fu once traveled east to Japan and reached the current generation of Shikoku Island.At that time, China already had ocean-going capabilities.But how much of Dahan's shipbuilding technology can be left now?

Ancient China has always been a country that didn't pay much attention to the ocean. Looking at the history, it seems that Zheng He's voyage to the Western Seas was the only one that excelled the Chinese in the process of conquering the ocean.Compared with those island countries and peninsula countries, China, which is rich in natural resources, does not have much desire for the sea.

This also made China not have a very powerful navy in history. When Europeans entered the era of great navigation, Chinese people's understanding of the ocean was still in the Malacca region of the South Sea.Genghis Khan's iron cavalry could reach the Danube, but they could not conquer the vast ocean.

At the same time, the navy is also a place that burns money, especially in modern times, when the Qing Dynasty purchased a warship to equip a large number of armies in Beiyang at that time.But fortunately, the boats are still wooden boats now, which are much cheaper than the ironclad ships in the future!
Zhang De wanted a navy, at least one capable of transporting troops.China has a vast coastline. If it has a navy, then the Bohai Bay area, Liaodong, Jiangdong and Jiaozhou are defenseless for itself!

But Zhang De knew nothing about the navy.In his previous life, Zhang De could use his legs to run over the armored wheels of the American Armor, and he could also shatter the myth of the US military's invincibility on the Korean battlefield. But when it comes to naval battles, Zhang De can only say four words: "I can only swim. ..."

At this moment, the servants reported to Wang Xiu to see him. Zhang De thought it must be for Wang Qiong's affairs, so he let Wang Xiu in.

Wang Xiu came to Zhang De and was about to explain his father Wang Qiong's affairs, but Zhang De spoke first: "Uncle Zhi, can you find some people who are good at building ships, preferably people who can build big ships!"

Big ship?Wang Xiu shook his head. Although he is proficient in internal affairs, he is still a scholar. Even a scholar can know the affairs of the world without going out!No matter how much I know, I still won't be able to know this kind of market stuff!

But as a subject, of course he has to share his worries for his lord. Wang Xiu shook his head, but said: "My lord, although I don't know, there is someone who will definitely know!"

"Who is it?" Zhang De asked hastily.

"Haisha helps Fang Dali!"

Zhang De suddenly realized that Fang Dali is a local snake in Donglai and the leader of the Haisha Gang. Although he makes a living by selling private salt, there are also many fishermen who follow Fang Dali to make a living. The best!

After a while, Fang Dali was called.Today's Fang Dali is no longer the person who licked blood and ate food with a knife head. The sturdy man back then has now become a fat man with a shiny face.

Hearing that Zhang De was looking for someone who could build ships, Fang Dali couldn't help but frowned: "My lord, Donglai used to have a few old masters who were proficient in building ships, but they all ran away when the Yellow Turbans were making trouble. Jiangdong has gone to avoid disaster, although there are people in Donglai who can build boats, they can only build some fishing boats, if we build the big boats that the Lord wants, I am afraid there will be no such people!"

Fang Dali's answer disappointed Zhang De.The navy is no better than the army. It is easy to train the army, but it is very difficult to train the navy. Just think about the Battle of Chibi.As for the strength of the navy, the first factor to look at is the warship.In the Battle of Chibi, although there were fewer people in Soochow, the boats were not at a disadvantage compared with Cao Cao.

Shipbuilding is not an industry that can make long-term progress in a day or two, especially for sea-going ships, which requires the accumulation of generations.Countries like Spain and the United Kingdom, which ruled the roost in the age of sailing, have undoubtedly built a successful navy after decades or even hundreds of years of accumulated experience.

"My lord, although my subordinates don't have master masters, they can still build big ships..." Fang Dali said suddenly just when Zhang De was disappointed.

"Oh, tell me!"

"My lord, although I don't have a master who builds big ships, there are quite a few craftsmen who can build small boats. Isn't there a ship of the East Sea barbarians in Donglai Port! That boat is not small, and it can hold hundreds of people! My lord, just Let the little one snatch that boat, oh, no, it is borrowed! The craftsmen under the little one will definitely be able to build a boat that is exactly the same as that one in half a month! Although the boat of the barbarians in the East China Sea is not as good as my big man's sea boat , but it can also withstand wind and waves at sea!"

The Eastern Sea barbarians that Fang Dali said were Japanese.

Zhang De's eyes lit up.This is also a way.Think about Xu Fu's boat in the pre-Qin period, didn't it contain five hundred virgins!How many people can I hold without a boat? If a boat can hold 100 people, then one hundred boats can hold 1 horses, and 1 horses are a lot of power wherever they are placed!
Since the Japanese boat can sail to the big man, it should not be too weak!I don't want to be able to go to the Pacific Ocean, as long as I can transport troops in the nearby waters, and imitating some Japanese ships can also be used.

"Okay, Fang Dali, I'll leave this matter to you and Pei Yuanshao! What about the boat, why don't you borrow it? When it arrives at my Donglai boat, do you still want to go back?"

……

While Fang Dali was building the ship, Zhang De ordered Pei Yuanshao to recruit people who were proficient in water skills in the five counties of Le'an, Donglai, Chengyang, Donghai, and Guangling. It would be better if they were fishermen.
