Chapter 424: I pretended to be X, and I had to pretend to cry (thanks to [in the dream of last night]
The terrifying attack power of the three-masted battleship caused everyone present to fall into a state of sluggishness.
They just heard bursts of loud noises, and then the target ship two hundred steps away was quickly sunk, and it was still as miserable as shattering bones.
In the age of cold weapons, the most powerful weapons were trebuchets, ballistas and other equipment.
But in front of the artillery, both of them were completely crushed in terms of accuracy and power... This is really beyond the understanding of people in this era.
Liu Xie wanted to say something to cover up the panic in his heart, but there was a gurgling in his throat for a long time, but not a single word came out.
Cao Cao was the closest to Liu Xie, and he was already keenly aware of Liu Xie's slightly trembling body.
As soon as Lao Cao's thoughts changed, he suddenly realized in his heart: "Mr. Lu may have unintentionally crushed the last trace of thoughts deep in Liu Xie's heart this time... It's okay, you can live peacefully from now on."
Come on, never have any other thoughts."
Somehow, Cao Cao suddenly felt sympathy for Liu Xie. He turned sideways and said to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, times have changed. The barriers between aristocratic families, poor families, and common people will be completely broken...the common people will stand up.
Be your own master, and a large number of people who can change the world will emerge from poor families..."
Cao Cao's words finally made Liu Xie come out of his fear.
In fact, as soon as he crossed this hurdle, Liu Xie's mentality quickly returned to calm.
After taking a deep breath, he said to Cao Cao: "Old Cao, you are right, this era has changed.
I just don’t know if this change will be good or bad..."
"Your Majesty, don't worry. With Mr. Lu here, I can't guarantee that in other countries and regions, but the Han Dynasty will definitely become better and better." Cao Cao was confident, patting his chest and assured.
After listening to Cao Cao's words, Liu Xie thought of Lu Yan's attitude towards foreign races. A knowing smile appeared on his lips and said: "After listening to your words, I am now a little worried about the surrounding countries..."
"Those who are not of my race must have different minds." Yang Biao, who had been listening at this time, suddenly interjected: "The capriciousness of the Xiongnu and Wuhuan people is the best proof. Your Majesty does not need to feel about what will happen to them in the future.
mercy."
Yang Biao had been in contact with Lu Yan for a long time, and his thoughts had been affected unknowingly.
For those peoples who have not yet been fully civilized, talking about benevolence, morality, gratitude, etc. with them is a waste of words and money. Only strong force is the only way to convince them.
Yang Biao is the dean of Taiyuan University, and he is also a highly respected scholar. Now he seems to be a leader among the literati.
Although some pedantic scholars disagreed with his words, they did not dare to raise objections in front of him.
Liu Xie nodded slightly in agreement with Yang Biao's words, "It is often said that those alienated people must first conquer their bodies before they can slowly transform their minds."
While Liu Xie, Cao Cao, Yang Biao and others were talking about the mountains, Lu Yan, Gan Ning and others slowly returned to the dock in a three-masted warship.
When the three-masted warship returned, the cannon had been covered again, and all the baffles on the hull had been lowered. The crowd on the shore could no longer see the appearance of the cannon. Secrecy measures must still be taken.
After the warship approached, everyone subconsciously took two steps back. It seemed that the scene just now when the three-masted warship's artillery fired had cast a thick shadow in their hearts.
Lu Yan led the high-spirited Gan Ning and Su Fei to Liu Xie and Cao Cao.
Lu Yan raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Cao, the first military exercise of the naval warships has ended successfully!"
Liu Xie took two steps forward, helped Lu Yan, Gan Ning and Su Fei up, and said: "The battleships built by Aiqing are something I and all the ministers have never seen or heard of. I believe that once they are established, they will be able to sweep across the country!"
Lu Yan smiled and replied: "Your Majesty is right... But I think about it, the navy of the Han Dynasty not only wants to dominate the country's major rivers, but also should dominate the entire sea!"
"!"
"What a loud tone! I'm not afraid of flashing my tongue when I say big words..." Some people couldn't help but curse in their hearts.
But more people were infected and inspired by Lu Yan's generous and heroic thoughts.
At this time, Cao Cao suddenly asked: "Mr. Lu, I wonder how long it will take for the navy to be formed?"
Listening to Lao Cao's tone, he seemed a little impatient.
Lu Yan looked back at Gan Ning and said, "You have to ask General Gan about this matter."
When Gan Ning saw Lu Yan pushing him to the front desk, he stood up without any stage fright and said: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, the navy is different from the land soldiers, and the training time will probably not be short. And it will also take time to build the warships.
, after the fleet is formed, it will take time to coordinate with each other and train..."
Cao Cao raised his chin and interrupted: "Just tell me, how many years will it take?"
Gan Ning thought for a moment, and then said categorically: "Three years! In three years, the general will build an invincible naval fleet for the Han Dynasty!"
"Three years?" Cao Cao confirmed to Gan Ning.
"Three years!" Gan Ning replied extremely firmly.
"Very good! Let's wait and see!"
The first launch of the three-masted warship and the military exercise were successfully completed.
Liu Xie, Cao Cao and other big bosses were so happy that they gave a lot of rewards to every craftsman who participated in shipbuilding and weapon making, and everyone was happy.
...
After all the melon-eaters left, Su Fei finally had the chance to speak.
He asked Gan Ning: "Brother Xingba, is it too hasty to take three years to form a navy?"
Gan Ning's expression was very serious, "It's indeed a bit hasty."
Su Fei was surprised when he heard this: "Then you still dare to boast about Haikou? If the navy does not meet their expectations, then our heads may not be saved!" Brother, my brother! You can't joke about your brain.
Yes!
Although Gan Ning felt it was a bit difficult, he did not think he would fail.
"Don't worry, the worst we can do is to have a smaller naval force, but the navy will definitely be able to take shape."
Su Fei thought about it and it made sense. Gan Ning did not say how many navy would be trained in the end.
"Huh..." Su Fei let out a long breath and said, "Fortunately, you didn't block all the escape routes..."
However, just when Su Fei was secretly rejoicing, Lu Yan suddenly came over and said, "Since you have made a three-year agreement with Duke Cao, you should train a qualified navy of one hundred thousand as soon as possible."
"Ah!" Su Fei's eyes widened and he stammered: "But...but...Lu Qianqi, we didn't...didn't say...one hundred thousand navy...ah
!”
Even Gan Ning couldn't make up his mind. He walked closer to Lu Yan and said, "Sir, training 100,000 people in three years is a bit too hasty..."
"Didn't you mean three years?"
"But the general didn't say 100,000 people!"
Lu Yan stared at Gan Ning with a half-smile, and asked, "You want to be cunning?"
"The general will not dare!" Gan Ning said proudly.
"Since you don't dare, then do as I say and arrange for all 100,000 people to come!" Lu Yan's tone left no room for doubt.
Gan Ning and Su Fei had no choice but to respond with a wry smile: "General... I'll do my best."
"Navy training is urgent, but before training can begin, we need to make a major reform of the existing navy organization!"
"Reform?!" Su Fei and Gan Ning looked at each other in surprise, and then asked in unison: "How to reform, please tell me sir!"
