Chapter 424 The First Navy
Gan Ning, a general of the Jingzhou naval army, led 3,000 elite naval forces and was transferred to Lianyun County.
The Jiangxia Navy was appointed by Deputy General Xiang Bin of Zhang Liao, and jointly controlled the Yangtze River with Cai Chuan of Jiangling Navy.
Gan Ning received the transfer order and led three thousand navy troops, and drove dozens of ships to the river and headed down the vast sea.
Lu Bu said that if Gan Ning wants to go to the ocean, he must go and see the outside world.
It was very fast to go downstream. Five days later, the fleet arrived at the water gate of Jinling City.
Jinling, which is magnificent and spectacular.
Xu Sheng, general of the Jinling Navy, was responsible for receiving Gan Ning. Although he had heard of it for a long time, he had never met him.
Xu Sheng bowed and bowed: "General Gan, please lead the army into the camp."
Gan Ning said: "Thank you General Xu, the army will not enter the camp. Just ask General Xu to add some supplies."
"General Gan doesn't have to be polite. Xuzhou has written a document, so this will supplement General Gan's supplies."
The army did not enter the navy camp, but Gan Ning wanted to go.
People’s feelings and worldly styles still need to be done. Xu Sheng holds wine to welcome Gan Ning.
Xu Sheng was very happy: "General Gan is going to be our first navy in Xuzhou."
Gan Ning hasn't seen the sea yet: "What is the difference between a navy and a navy?"
"How to say, the river and the sea are just a small ditch. The Dafu ship is much larger than the marshal. Tomorrow I will send a guide ship to lead General Gan to the north. I guess the lord is already waiting for the general in the harbor."
Gan Ning was full of expectations and set off early the next morning.
Xu Sheng sent a guided sand boat to guide the way forward.
Going east along the river, after only one day, the vast sea finally appeared.
The children of Jiangxia were stunned. How could there be such a vast ocean?
The East China Sea mermaids are much bigger than the legendary ones, and their singing is shocking.
The warship was quite large in the river, but when it came to the sea, it looked like a small toy.
Xu Shengpai's navigation ship guides sailors.
He led Gan Ning's fleet to slowly north along the coastline. The sailing masters who were originally on the river seemed to be in a hurry to the sea.
As we walked and practiced, the fleet headed north in a mighty manner and arrived at the port of Lianyun County in a few days.
Dozens of tall warships, with masts like forests and white sails like clouds.
Cannons were fired on the warships to welcome Gan Ning's arrival, and Gan Ning was so moved.
Sure enough, Lu Bu was already waiting in the port, Gan Ning was docked, unloaded his armor, and worshiped him with great gifts.
"Xingba is not a gift. Have you seen the blessing ship? There are 30 medium-sized blessing ships with a sharp bottom draft, which is most suitable for navigation. First go to Southeast Asia to find monkeys who eat bananas. We need to cultivate fertile land to grow rice."
"Yes, lord, guarantee to complete the task."
"Although many people will die in battle, you are the heroes who have expanded their territory and will be immortal forever for generations."
The first navy, General Gan Ning, and there are two deputy generals, one is the elite Danyang Army Land Zhan and Shanxiong. This man is brave and fighting, and he is extremely brave in combat. The second Cao Yong is Cao Fang's cousin. This man still has some understanding of water war and is proficient in artillery. He turns out to be a lieutenant in Zhentian Camp.
The sailors were organized and the Marines were organized and the Marines were organized.
The arrangement is also relatively simple and clear. Water combat is dominated by artillery and crossbows. The hull of the Fu Ship is strong and is not afraid of the recoil of the artillery.
All the warships were replaced at once, and dozens of warships brought by Gan Ning were transferred back to the Jinling Navy.
Gan Ning was still reluctant to leave. The sails on the warship were colorful and were all dressed up with care.
"Lord, although this lucky boat is good, the sails are all white. Can you dye them a little color?"
"You have decided on this little thing by yourself, but I want to see the training results. Go to Southeast Asia in March to find a few huge islands to see if there are any savages who eat bananas on it."
"Okay, please make sure to complete the task."
There must be difficulties, and there are big differences between river and sea boats. However, Lu Bu has arranged to train thousands of sailors in recent years, but there is still a foundation.
It is mainly integrated, and Gan Ning is still very hard to train. Moreover, these lucky boats are not simple sailing boats, and are equipped with pot-camcorders to assist.
If there is no wind or it is inconvenient to use wind, you can burn the pot machine to generate power by neatly driving the water wheels at the stern.
It's just that the speed is very slow, only about thirty miles per hour.
This is the pot-camel machine exchanged by Lu Bu. It has a small horsepower and can barely be loaded on a twenty-foot-meter-long lucky boat.
The training speed was much faster than expected, only two months later. The First Navy cannon was loaded and sailed out to sea.
A group of people was in a vast expanse, and ten thousand people boarded thirty blessed ships and ten flat sand boats. There were also hanging centipede ships on the ship.
Lu Bu, Chen Gong, Cao Fang and his civil servants from Xuzhou came to see him off.
The warships roared and the cannons sailed, and Lu Bu and others watched them walk far away.
Everyone dispersed, and Lu Bu asked Chen Gong: "Do you feel that I'm hasty and have not settled inside yet, so you spend your supplies to sail for a long voyage?"
Chen Gong smiled and said, "There is a little bit, but I believe that the lord must have a reason to do things."
"Now that the princes in the world have basically been cleared, Cao Zhen was surrounded by all sides, and it was only a matter of time before he failed.
Ma Chao of Xiliang has sent people to send letters to surrender to Xuzhou. Only Cao Cao in Shu, Liu Bei in Nanzhong, and Sun Quan in Nanyue. The first stop of our navy to go south is Ryukyu, which is to establish a transit station in Ryukyu, and then the army can go south to pacify Sun Quan. In addition, we urgently need the Nanyang to expand its territory."
Chen Gongshen agreed that the effects of potatoes and sweet potatoes are very obvious. The explosive increase in population may not take long to go through.
But Chen Gong was also confused: "What is the outside world like?"
"There are many superpowers in the West, just like our great men. But more places are still ignorant. People wear tree bark and eat wild fruits. There are too many large islands in the South Ocean, as big as Xuzhou. The black and small savages live by eating bananas, do not know how to farm, do not know how to behave and behave in manners. In addition, their population is very small, which just applies to us to develop. Teach them to farm, teach them to behave and behave in manners."
Chen Gong laughed: "This method is good. Everyone in the world reads the Four Books and Five Classics, and respects the lord from all directions."
"The public office is serious, so it should be to respect Emperor Xian."
Emperor Xian, Emperor Xian, Emperor Xian had long been locked up by Cao Cao, but he was just a bird in a cage.
However, everyone still has to respect Emperor Xian. After all, he was the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and the Marquis of Wen of Lu Bu were all conferred upon Emperor Xian.
Besides, Gan Ning is like a dragon going out to the sea, heading south all the way and soon arrives at Ryukyu Island opposite southern Fujian.
Only a small number of fishermen who took refuge here lived here. Ganning led his army to ashore and found a suitable place to start building a port.
It is difficult for pioneers. Soldiers and sailors must not only fight, but also become craftsmen.
After taking soil and burning bricks, logging wood to build houses, a transfer station was finally built after three months of busy work.
