Chapter 181 Secret Construction of the Navy 2
Gu Yong thought about it for a while and knew that it was not that easy for Lu Ning to build a wharf there. After all, Gu Yong grew up by the Yangtze River and knew what the wharf and shipyard are for. Some things are clearer than the others under Lu Ning. Gu Yong looked at Lu Ning and said, "Lord, you said you have also built a shipyard, right? Is the lord going to produce warships?"
When Tian Chou heard this, beloved, is it okay for the lord to form a naval army? But we can’t use it in Bingzhou. Isn’t this a waste? "Lord, you want to form a naval army, but it’s useless for us Bingzhou. You can’t drive the warship into the Yellow River."
Sima Lang knew it now and immediately shouted: "Brother, I think you have nothing to do all day long. Why are you messing around? What are we in Bingzhou doing? Let me express my opinion first, I don't have the money to form the navy, otherwise I will let you pay for it to form it privately, so I don't care."
Zhang Liao looked at Lu Ning and saw that Lu Ning didn't say anything, he said, "Brother, we do not use naval troops in Bingzhou. Navy troops are only needed in Jiangnan. Jiangnan is 108,000 miles away from us, so there is no threat to our army. Brother, what are you thinking?"
After hearing their nonsense, Lu Ning looked up at them and said, "Okay, have you finished arguing? Who said we don't need a navy? I'm talking about the navy, the navy is not a navy, the navy is more powerful than the navy, and the combat capability is stronger. Now Shanggu is fighting with the Xianbei Tartars of the Kebineng tribe in western Liaoxi. Do you think our army is just dealing with the Kebineng tribe? I tell you now that maybe next year and next, the Suli, Mijia, and Queji tribe in Liaodong will also be in great alliance with the Kebineng tribe. They will definitely attack us for survival. If our army has a navy on Changdao, it can raid the settlements of the Xianbei Tartars in western Liaodong and put away their old nests. In this way, our army can completely and cleanly eliminate the Xianbei Tartars, otherwise it will be a protracted war."
After hearing this, Tian Chou thought for a while and said, "Lord, then western Liaoning is Gongsun Zan's territory, and Liaodong is Gongsun Du's territory. How could they let our army go deeper?"
After hearing this, Sima Lang also said seriously: "Brother, I heard that Gongsun Zan is also a hero. His Baima Yizong is also very powerful. Is it necessary for us to provoke these people? Besides, no one comes to cause trouble for us, so how can we make trouble for others? They are different from Ding Yuan. Ding Yuan came to provoke us first, so there are not many people who dare to say anything when we deal with him. If we take the initiative to cause trouble, it is not good."
Lu Ning said: "Our army was ordered to clear the Xianbei Tartars. Could it be that Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Du dared to stop our army from borrowing territory? If that were the case, they would become the second Dingyuan. In order to eliminate the Xianbei Tartars and the safety of the Han border, I will not be calling for war with them. Take a step back and say that as long as our army has a strong navy, our army can also bypass the territory of Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Du. Our army can eliminate the three Koreans first, and then all the problems will be solved."
Gu Yong was shocked after hearing this. What's wrong with the lord? Is the three Han so easy to destroy? Besides, Lu Ning's army attacked the three Hans for nothing, right? "Lord, you're not kidding. Our army is not a joke. Even if our army can destroy the three Hans, will Gongsun Du from Liaodong be willing? He will definitely be restless and will fight back against our army. Besides, with such a long front, we have the ability to command, and our army's defense system is not easy to construct." Gu Yong said.
After hearing this, Gu Yong still had a vision and knew the importance of it. It was good. Lu Ning said, "Take it slow and form the navy first. Maybe you don't know what happens again. Generally speaking, our army is prepared to form a navy, at least there are multiple ways to choose from."
After listening to Lu Ning's words, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Tian Chou, Sima Lang, and Gu Yong looked at me, I looked at you, I don't know what to say, but there was no reason to stop Lu Ning's decision. Zhang Liao said: "Brother, then you can tell me, what we want to do, we will all listen to you."
Lu Ning then laughed and said, "Third brother, Ziming, you two trained me 5,000 soldiers. Not only do you have to be first-class in the infantry battle, but you must also be extremely brave. In half a year, I will ask them to go to Changdao to learn swimming. This is another force of our army, called the Marine Corps. They can send them to designated locations for beach landing through warships, so as to achieve the effect of a surprise attack. Of course, we must have an extremely powerful navy."
Gao Shun and Zhang Liao said, "Abide by the lord's order, and you must complete the task on time and on quality."
Lu Ning said: "No one of you can reveal any of this matter to the outside world. This is the highest secret."
Everyone said, "Don't worry, lord."
Gu Yong said: "Lord, sailing on the navy is extremely risky. Besides, you need to understand the command of a general in the water war. It is not just warships, but soldiers."
Lu Ning smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll find two naval generals to come to command, so I can't train. There is no one right now. I'll go to find two people who know water war, which is useless. When talents come, they have to play a role. You can't tell them, "You can rest for a few years before you talk about it. Who would like to come if you want this?"
Sima Lang said: "Okay, I will try my best to meet the military expenditure required to form a navy."
Everyone laughed and finally let Sima Lang feel relieved. This was not easy. Lu Ning smiled and said to Tian Chou: "Zi Tai, is there any news in Luoyang?"
After hearing this, Tian Chou said, "No important information has come?"
Lu Ning said: "Any time there is any situation, please notify me immediately."
Tian Chou said: "It's the lord."
Lu Ning smiled and said, "Boda, prepare a few more banquets today. I want to welcome Mr. Zhen. There are also a wave of craftsmen and those in charge of the business. I will be well received by Mr. Zhen." I turned to Mr. Zhen and said, "Mr., you and your granddaughter are just here to live in. But there is no servant. If the old man is not used to it, you can call your servant to serve you."
Mr. Zhen smiled and shook his head and said, "Goddess of Bingzhou, there is not even a servant in his family, this is too..."
Lu Ning smiled wryly and said, "Third brother, then you send someone to tell Zilong and Ziyi that they can capture two or three Xianbei women, so that they can be maids for me. They are only twelve or three years old, so they won't be able to tease me again after Mr. Zhen comes next time."
Everyone laughed after hearing this, and Zhang Liao smiled and said, "It's my brother. We have told you a long time ago. You always say that there is nothing to serve alone. Now I'll be blind when I need it."
Lu Ning glanced at everyone and said, "Okay, you all go and do things. Mr. Zhen and I still have some things to talk about. Let's see you at the banquet in the evening." Sima Lang, Zhang Liao and others stood up and said goodbye, and they all went to work.
