On this trip, Zhou Yunfei did not take Diao Chan or Yuna with him. ** Originally Yuna was clamoring to go to the Far North Fortress, but then she suddenly changed her mind for some unknown reason, and in the end only Branna followed Zhou Yunfei.
As for Diao Chan, it was because Zhou Yunfei was unwilling to let her follow him to the Far North Fortress, which was not a good place.[.]
In Zhou Yunfei's concept, women need to stay away from war.
It's not that Zhou Yunfei looks down on women, etc., maybe it's just that as a man, he doesn't want women to join in this dirty war.
Zhou Yunfei was reluctant to set foot on that filthy land, not to mention that the weather in the Far North Fortress was always bad, and he did not want Diao Chan and Yuna to suffer in that place.
As for Brianna, come on, this girl is not afraid of even Gao Shun in a duel. She went out for a walk in single clothes in the middle of winter, which made Zhou Yunfei always wonder if she was from another species.
Zhou Yu, who stayed at the Lord's Mansion during the Chinese New Year, also left. The new semester was about to begin, and he still needed to study at the Naval Academy.
Before leaving, Zhou Yunfei gave Zhou Yu a small gadget, which was a model he made by himself in his spare time.
If any modern person saw it, they would definitely shout, Sail Battleship!
Yes, this is a third-class sailing battleship that Zhou Yunfei made by himself. It is very rough, but it can be seen that Zhou Yunfei spent a lot of effort on it.
When Zhou Yu went back, he chose to take a carriage in order to take a closer look at the third-class sailing battleship Zhou Yunfei gave him.
From the appearance point of view, it seems to be somewhat different from the existing naval fleet warships. The hull is wide and thicker than the warships of Chinese origin. After learning the basic knowledge for half a year, Zhou Yu can understand that this ship must be designed like this.
principle.
The deck of the existing fleet is where the most important tools for combat are placed. Basically, the trebuchets and crossbows placed on the decks of safe-class battleships are the only long-range firepower.
On this ship, there is obviously no place to place these things on the deck. More space is freed up, so that the ship has three large masts at the front, middle and rear. This greatly improves the power of the ship. Of course, Zhou Yu knows what speed means.
.
But what he was curious about was that there were many small windows on both sides of the hull, and there seemed to be covers on them. He carefully opened them and took a look, but they were empty inside. This made Zhou Yu couldn't help but guess, could these windows be?
For shooting? With bows and arrows? With crossbows? Or with trebuchets?
Zhou Yu didn't know that these actually existed for artillery!
In the extremely secret weapon testing area of Dragon City, the gunpowder project has become the most important project.
These inconspicuous things, when configured in a certain proportion, can exert earth-shattering power. Many scientists are obsessed with it. They know that once this technology is formed, they will open a new chapter with their own hands!
With Zhou Yunfei's general direction as a reference, the research progress is very fast. At least there will not be all kinds of weird gunpowder weapons like in the original history. Zhou Yunfei just listed the two most important directions, cannons and guns!
Due to the rapid development of Longcheng's smelting technology, even the earliest alloy technology was born. Of course, these technologies are undoubtedly not up to standard in Zhou Yunfei's eyes, but you have to know that those who study these are all from the Three Kingdoms
People of the period! They have never studied chemistry, they have not studied physics, and even many workers cannot read!
They only relied on their own experience and Zhou Yunfei's ideas as guidance, and they just took a different path!
It cannot be said that China did not have some basic physics knowledge during this period. On the contrary, as early as the Warring States Period, scholars represented by Mohism had already begun the path of exploration. The earliest chemistry was alchemy!
Therefore, Zhou Yunfei believes that these talents from the Three Kingdoms era are absolutely capable of meeting the most basic requirements in his imagination!
If we were to say what level the Dragon City's technology, people's livelihood, and social structure were at at this time, they would probably be comparable to those in the late Middle Ages on Earth.
It can be seen how huge a role Zhou Yunfei played in this!
Regardless of these, Zhou Yu did not know what this ship represented at this time, but only Zhou Yunfei knew. Back then, it was just such a ship that brought Western civilization with artillery fire to smash open the door of the Qing Dynasty, opening the extremely humiliating
Modern Chinese History.
Zhou Yu felt that Zhou Yunfei gave this ship to him in the hope that he could lead Longcheng's navy to glory, so Zhou Yu carefully placed the ship model and slowly stared at the scenery outside the carriage.
In the other direction, Zhou Yunfei's northern patrol also began.
After bidding farewell to Diao Chan and Yuna, whom he missed so much, Zhou Yunfei set out on his journey to the Far North Fortress.
This trip was a huge one, with more than 13,000 guards alone, including 5,000 Praetorian Guards and more than 8,000 Army soldiers.
After returning to Longcheng, the Second Army entered a second-line formation and was in urgent need of additional troops. The original fifth and sixth divisions of the Second Army are still stationed at the foothills of Hengduan Mountain, blocking possible threats from the north.
Excluding these two divisions that were not lost in the Far North Fortress, the original four main divisions of the Second Army were basically disabled. Many of the wounded were retired due to injuries, resulting in only more than 8,700 people able to move now. As for
Zhang Liao did not count the selected recruits as his current strength at all. How could he become a member of the Second Army if he had not even passed the three-month recruitment camp?
With more than 13,000 people, plus the 2,000 Marines who set off at the same moment, it can be said that it is extremely difficult to put Zhou Yunfei in danger on this land.
The First Cavalry Division, which had received orders from the military headquarters long ago, even dispatched five thousand elite cavalry when Zhou Yunfei set out, led by Ma Chao and set off in the opposite direction to meet Zhou Yunfei.
Such a large-scale trip requires a lot of logistics, but fortunately there are basically Dragon City strongholds along the way, so this problem is solved perfectly.
To be honest, this is the first time Zhou Yunfei has set out to the north. After all, Zhou Yunfei has not left Dragon City much since he came to Ross Continent. A trip to the imperial capital, a trip to Claire's house, and then basically stayed in
Dragon City. So Zhou Yunfei also hopes to go out for a walk and see this strange yet familiar continent.
Sitting in a spacious carriage, four groups of strong horses pulled the carriage slowly.
The cabin is very luxurious, and even in the cold early spring, the cabin is still very warm.
Zhou Yunfei lay on the soft fur blanket and enjoyed Brianna's massage.
Diao Chan taught this skill to Branna, so that Branna could learn how to take care of Zhou Yunfei. Because Diao Chan knew that Zhou Yunfei would be outside a lot in the future, and although Diao Chan knew a little bit about the three-legged cat skills, compared to
For an inhuman person like Brenna, the difference is quite a few levels. So Diao Chan wants to train Brenna to be her second self, so that when she can no longer take care of Zhou Yunfei in the future, Brenna can be a good person.
Take good care of Zhou Yunfei's diet and daily life.
The effect is still very obvious. Although Briana is not very talkative, her learning ability is not limited. In a short period of time, she can do everything from housework to cooking with ease.
Gao Shun personally set up the carriage. Ever since Zhou Yunfei left Longcheng, Gao Shun had been guarding him every step of the way. His negligence almost caused irreparable consequences last time. Gao Shun swore that such a thing would never happen again, so he did
He got up as a driver in order to stay close and protect Zhou Yunfei.
On the left side of the carriage, near the window, was Zhou Tai. Zhou Tai, who originally belonged to the army, was eventually transferred to the Lord's Palace Guards by Pang Tong and became a captain. Because Zhou Yunfei only had Gao Shun beside him, Zhuge Liang and
Pang Tong and the other two were really worried. There had been Dian Wei before, but now he was determined to follow the First Cavalry Division. Now Zhou Yunfei had Gao Shun next to him, which naturally made people uneasy.
Zhou Tai is famous for his loyalty and bravery, and he is a fierce man. With him here, he can help Gao Shun take a lot of pressure off him.
In the team, there was actually a fierce general, Zhang Liao. As the commander of the Second Army, he naturally followed the team.
Although Zhang Liao is the highest in military rank, the leader of the escort for this operation is still Gao Shun.
Strictly speaking, although Gao Shun holds the rank of brigadier general, he is not under the command of the General Staff. He belongs to a separate organization and directly reports to Zhou Yunfei.
All security matters along the way were under the command of Gao Shun. As Zhou Yunfei's personal security general, Gao Shun would never leave this task to anyone else, even if he was in the same system.
It would take several days to get to the Far North Fortress, and Zhou Yunfei's team set off in a mighty manner, marching slowly on the desolate northern land.
The first stop we arrived at was the Northern Fortress Group.
The First Army was stationed in these five fortresses not far apart, forming a defensive circle.
Xu Sheng, who had received the order long ago, naturally paid special attention to the recent situation. When Zhou Yunfei was still one day away from the fortress, he sent a regiment of troops to inspect the road in advance to ensure Zhou Yunfei's safety.
After Zhou Yunfei arrived at the northern fortress group, he saw Bywister's unique fortress group for the first time. The distance between the two nearest fortresses was no more than half a day, which ensured timely support. The First Army also maintained this method.
, before taking control of the Far North Fortress, firmly defended the north gate of Dragon City.
Stepping off the warm carriage, Zhou Yunfei felt the biting cold wind blowing against his face, making him shiver. Rubbing his stiff face with both hands, Zhou Yunfei entered the Far North Fortress Group under the escort of Gao Shun.
According to the plan, Zhou Yunfei will stay here for three days and check out the five northern fortresses at the same time, because the military has been arguing about a very critical point here. After having the Far North Fortress as the new frontier, the fortresses behind it
Does the group still need to exist?
Zhou Yunfei was unsure of paying attention to this point. Although there was the Far North Fortress as the base point, the five northern fortresses were not without any effect.
They can play a very good role in stabilizing the Far North Fortress. At the same time, they serve as a gathering area for troops. They can support the Far North Fortress when they advance, and they can secure the north gate of Dragon City when retreating.
But there is also a problem, that is, with the development of the extreme north, the defensive effect of the northern fortress group is getting smaller and smaller, and in the end it can only become a transit logistics base. In this way, there is no need to maintain such a large arm to control
This area can be used to build a new city. It can also replace the previous five fortresses.
It was precisely because Zhou Yunfei couldn't get attention that he decided to see if he could make a perfect decision.
