Chapter 619 : Chapter 299: Whereabouts of Gan Ning (2)
Promotion here depends entirely on merit, and rewards and punishments are clear.
Compared with the local forces in Jingzhou, which are like a tangle of teeth, there is really a big difference.
"Well, although this city is a big concern of mine, the warship is another matter. Let's go and see how Gu's warship is made."
After looking at the city, Liu Feng thought of another important event, the warship. He couldn't help but smile and said.[
"Promise." Lu Su, Tian Feng, and Wenpin agreed, and then they took a carriage with Liu Feng and headed to the Weishui River in the west.
The Xiangjiang River is a branch of the Yangtze River, while the Han River and the Wei River are branches of the Xiangjiang River. In terms of scale, the Weishui River is also smaller than the Xiangjiang River.
However, no matter what, it can still allow warships to sail across it. Therefore, Liu Feng's dock was built near this river.
At the beginning, Liu Feng attached great importance to the twenty shipwrights who went north with Wen Pin and Wang Wei's family. The north was good at cavalry, while the south was good at water warfare.
If you want to unify the South, it will be difficult to move forward without a navy. Warships are the boots of the navy. You can't walk without them.
Owning a large-scale warship is simply Liu Feng's dream.
Immediately, Liu Feng gave land to these twenty shipwrights, increased their salaries, and recruited all carpenters in Xinye, Fancheng, Fucheng, Nanxiang and other areas to cooperate with these shipwrights in building warships.
Finally, a shipyard with more than a thousand people was formed. Although manufacturing warships is a very time-consuming task, the number of warships that a shipyard with more than a thousand people can produce is actually relatively small.
But at least there is improvement. There is nothing more satisfying than starting from scratch.
On that day, Liu Feng, surrounded by everyone, inspected the entire shipyard and was very satisfied. I believe that it won't be long before his group of forces will have a real warship.
By then, the construction of the naval army will be imminent.
However, the establishment of a navy army is really troublesome. Currently, Xinye County and Nanxiang County are both in the early stages of development, and there is not much food.
Moreover, Xinye was marching towards the largest city in the world, which cost Liu Feng a lot of gold and silver. Financially and in terms of various reserve capabilities, it was difficult to establish a naval army.
The most important thing is not these, these are trivial things, like some kind of ditch, as long as you squeeze it, it will still exist. The most important problem is that there is no suitable general on the water.
After inspecting the dock and feeling satisfied, Liu Feng fell into this problem on his way back to Xinye.
If we need generals on the water, then Soochow is the first choice. Among those leaders in Soochow, who is still in the wild? Liu Feng began to think in his mind.
In the end, it settled on one person, Gan Ning. Needless to say, Gan Ning's reputation is the famous Hundred Horsemen Robbery Camp, Gan Ning's masterpiece.
But being good at hijacking camps was not Gan Ning's only advantage. Like most Soochow generals, Gan Ning had a natural talent. He was good at leading naval forces.
The army under his command can fight both by water and on foot. They are very talented.[
According to historical development, in his early years in Yizhou, Gan Ning had little strength and was a good knight. Later, when he was in his twenties, he picked up a book and began to study.
After restraining his wandering habits, he finally achieved success in his studies. He defected to Liu Biao, but Liu Biao did not reuse Gan Ning. Later Gan Ning defected to Sun Quan.
However, there was a process. Huang Zu, the governor of Jiangxia, once obtained Gan Ning.
According to time calculation, Gan Ning should be in Jiangxia now?
