During the Three Kingdoms period, learning was still in the stage of teaching by words and deeds. The most common teachers were elders in the family. If you were in a wealthy area, you could go to a county or township school to learn a little bit of Chinese. Most of the time, you would just read "The Analects of Confucius" and "The Classic of Filial Piety".
》The situation is that those who have the means at home may go out to study, but most people will not have this opportunity. In an era when illiteracy is widespread, there are only a few people who really have the strength to study.
For warriors, the path to learning is even narrower. Although the ancients said that generals are better than soldiers, there are still too few opportunities to truly grow from an ordinary soldier to a senior general. In places where there are many wars, the mortality rate is high.
If you climb up, you will probably die in battle. In a place where there are few battles, there are few opportunities for training and meritorious service. When your beard turns gray, you will be a junior officer at most.
Therefore, the growth path of a martial artist is usually the education of the elders in the family. The elders can take the younger ones with them, teach them by words and deeds, and gradually give them opportunities to practice, help them get on the horses, and send them off for another ride. This is the case for the Wei Ba brothers, who have followed their father Wei Yan since they were young.
Surround yourself with everything you see and hear, and follow the steps step by step to maximize your chance of success.
It is difficult for elders like Fu Xing and Zhang Wei who have died in battle. The elders can leave their titles to them, but they cannot pass on their experience in leading troops, which forces them to explore on their own.
Learn from practice. The efficiency of such learning can be imagined. If there is no one to give guidance, unless you are talented and can draw inferences from one example, your chances of becoming a successful person are very small.
Wei Ba is not a qualified teacher. He cannot teach these people to become talents. After all, tactical deduction is just a game and cannot replace the real battlefield. However, it is much better for everyone to figure out and argue with each other together than to work alone behind closed doors. In the future and
Once verified on the actual battlefield, their growth can be accelerated.
What's more, they are all young people of similar age. They communicate with each other together, which is also a need for communication. For Fu Xing and others, in addition to exchanging feelings, they can also have a basic and objective understanding of the battle situation in the near future.
, it will also be of great benefit to their speeches when they participate in military conferences in the future. As
As a small captain, they don't have many channels to know more details except the subordinates they lead. They often lack detailed understanding of the entire battle situation. Through the basic parameters provided by Wei Ba, they can learn more.
situation, especially the enemy's troop deployment and logistics supply at the strategic level.
These are all informal channels. They can master some information that ordinary people cannot master. They are also a kind of right to speak and a manifestation of superiority. As a member of the army, Wei Ba, although his official position is not high, has certain aspects that Fu Xing and others cannot match.
advantages.
After burning the green bamboos and distributing the money, Fu Xing and others still had fun, so they dragged Wei Ba to continue drinking. Wei Ba was really tired, but couldn't drive them away, so he had to sit aside and watch, preparing to take some time to drink.
I took a nap. Unexpectedly, before I could close my eyelids, Feng Jin came over with a wine glass, tugged on Wei Ba's sleeve, and said with a smile: "Join the army and let's talk."
Wei Ba didn't know why, so he had to stand up and follow Feng Jin out of the tent.
Outside the tent, the dark sky was twinkling with stars, reflecting each other with the piles of bonfires on the ground. Today was New Year's Eve. Wu Yi specially prepared wine and meat for the soldiers to celebrate the New Year, and also canceled the curfew, so even though it was past midnight, there were many people
They haven't rested yet and are keeping watch around the fire.
Feng Jin took Wei Ba and walked to a fire. He saw Dun Wu who was warming himself by the fire, and immediately arranged for the soldiers to disperse and guard the surrounding area.
"Join the army. I heard that you have been preparing combat equipment in the supply camp these days?"
Wei Ba smiled and nodded: "Wenju, this is not a court, so there is no need to be so polite. You are Zhong Jian's brother, so treat me as your brother."
Feng Jin chuckled: "Okay, I'm trusting you. Ziyu, I know that you are good at mechanics, and the offensive and defensive equipment you want to prepare are very sophisticated. I shouldn't be worried. However, to be cautious, I still
I would like to ask, have you prepared a warship?"
"Warship?" Wei Ba suddenly became more awake. He knew that Feng Jin's father, Feng Xi, was good at water warfare. During Liu Bei's Eastern Expedition, Feng Xi was the leading general and had a respected status, which had a lot to do with his proficiency in water warfare.
Although Feng Jin lost his father when he was young, he knew more about water warfare than ordinary people. When he asked about warships, it was not as simple as asking if there were any ships. Wei Ba thought for a moment and nodded: "There are some warships, but the number
Not much and small in size.”
Feng Jin was not surprised. He pointed to the Han River not far away: "Xiangyang and Fancheng are sandwiched between the Han River. In the event of a war, they can support each other through the pontoon bridge on the Han River. This is true for both advance and retreat.
The importance of this floating bridge can be imagined. Therefore, in order to protect this floating bridge, Wei Jun
To build a pontoon bridge, large and small warships will inevitably be arranged upstream and downstream to prevent the enemy from destroying the pontoon bridge. At the same time, we will set up crossbow positions on the shore to shoot from the shore. If there is not a navy strong enough to defeat their blockage, we will very easily
It’s difficult to access that pontoon bridge, let alone destroy it.”
As Feng Jin spoke, he drew a schematic diagram on the ground. Wei Ba stared at the schematic diagram and frowned slightly. He had expected what Feng Jin said, but he was not familiar with water battles. His only experience was in Dan.
The water blocked the Sima Division. It was better to take advantage of it when it was unprepared. If the Sima Division had been prepared and relied on the other side to travel, he would not have achieved such a good result.
Feng Jin's words gave him a wake-up call. If the Wei army's pontoon bridge across the Han River could not be cut off, Xiangyang would have to be attacked by land. If there was no strong enough naval escort, then ships could be used to transport food.
The plan will be shelved, and the difficulties in transporting grain and grass will further increase.
The efficiency of transporting grain by ship is far beyond that of land transportation.
Wei Ba pondered for a long time: "Brother Wenju, what's your plan?"
Feng Jin laughed softly, with a bit of bitterness in his smile. "Although I have brought five hundred soldiers, I have never experienced any real war, let alone a water battle, so I can have any good plans. However, my father passed down
The following pictures are some ideas about improving warships. I don’t know if they have been tried and whether they can be used. Ziyu is good at machinery, and I think you may understand the advantages and disadvantages better than me."
As Feng Jin spoke, he took out a scroll of silk book from his arms and carefully unfolded it. Wei Ba took a look at the firelight and saw a long and narrow warship. Different from ordinary warships, the ship was covered with a
The layer board looks similar to the bottom of the ship, except that there are two rows of holes on it, as many as twenty or thirty.
"What's this?"
"This is Mengchong improved by my father. It is covered with thick wooden boards. These are holes for archery. In close combat, you can use spears to kill." Feng Jin explained, and Wei Ba quickly understood.
This is actually the prototype of an armored ship, but its inventor died in the battle before it even had time to board the battlefield, and then it was left on the shelf. It was probably eaten by an unknown insect later. Because in the history of the Three Kingdoms, there seems to be no
I have heard of such a warship.
Wei Ba was very surprised. Zhuge Liang was an ancient statesman and one of the few military men who paid special attention to the reform of military technology. The serial crossbows, armors and wooden cows and horses he built were all legendary artifacts in later generations. Why was this armored ship not seen?
Passed? Was it because he died too early and had no chance to use it, or because he didn't know about it at all.
Wei Ba couldn't guess the historical details, but when this design sketch came in front of him, he couldn't let it go. He carefully wiped his hands clean, bent down, and looked at the model carefully. It was like looking at the drawing carefully, but also
As if he was showing his respect for this picture and its designer, Feng Jin felt warm in his heart.
"Wonderful, it's simply wonderful." The more Wei Ba looked at it, the more exquisite he felt, and he was full of praise. Feng Jin also laughed with satisfaction. After a long time, Wei Ba straightened up, beat his waist with his fist, and asked
Said: "Wenju, can you lend me this picture for study?"
"Of course." Feng Jin folded up the picture and put it in Wei Ba's hands: "I brought it here today because I wanted Ziyu to have a look."
"That's great." Wei Ba took it carefully, as if holding a baby. He thought for a while and then said: "Wen Jin, I'm going to build a model first and try it out. If it works, then start transforming it."
A warship. I hope you can participate in the whole process, firstly, to help me, and secondly, when I test the ship in the future, I will also need a master like you who is familiar with water warfare."
Feng Jin was overjoyed and quickly raised his hands in salute: "It's an honor that I couldn't ask for more."
Wei Ba also laughed, reached out and patted Feng Jin on the shoulder, and smiled at each other. Since the Feng family was born in water warfare, they were somewhat familiar with water warfare. It would be natural for them to pilot this new ship.
Better than the newly trained sailors. Besides, Feng Jin showed this picture to him, naturally hoping to exchange certain benefits. If he didn't give Feng Jin any benefits, how could Feng Jin follow him wholeheartedly?
Wei Ba had previously snatched a tower ship from Sima Shi. In order to repair the tower ship, he had done some research on warships of this era and had a rough idea. However, shipbuilding is a very complicated project.
It is far from being something that can be done by setting up a temporary workshop, so Wei Ba can build a model based on this sketch, but it is not easy to actually build a brand new armored ship. The best way is to modify it and use a
Building ship converted into ship.
There is no organized navy in Hanzhong. Currently, the only building ship in Zhuyang is Wu Yi's ship. It is only a two-story building ship and is smaller than the building ship that Wei Ba robbed.
No. 1. It’s just that Wei Ba has no other choice now. After spending two days to make a model and conducting some experiments, he had no choice but to take the model to see Wu Yi to see if he could build his own ship.
Come here and transform it into an armored battleship.
