Chapter 979

The vast Yangtze River is endless.

A warship is heading east along the vast Yangtze River.

On the deck of the warship stood a burly general, who was no other than Gan Ning, who had gone south from the battle field of the state of Wei. He looked at the rippling river with a look of expectation on his face.

He is good at fighting on the road, but what he is good at most is water war. Even in the Yangtze River, where the current is quite fast, he is white in the waves and can come and go freely in the water.

The same is true of Jinfan Erlang under his command.

Up to now, the number of Jinfan veterans under Ganning's command has weakened a lot. Many of them have died in the war. Up to now, there are only more than 200 people left. These more than 200 former Jinfan Erlang are all generals in the fierce tiger army. The worst ones are all generals, and the highest ones have reached the position of partial generals.

A group of people followed Ganning with high morale.

Fighting on water is their old business.

It's their favorite.

Gan Ning went south this time. After he entered Jiangxia County, he didn't leave in a hurry. Instead, he recruited a lot of shipbuilding craftsmen in Jiangxia and took them to Chaisang.

Gan Ning didn't go to the Poyang Lake to Chaisang, because there are sun CE's sentinels all over the Poyang Lake. If you don't pay attention, you may meet sun CE's water army. Once you meet him, he is now invincible.

After all, there are not enough warships and water troops.

Its combat effectiveness is insufficient.

When Ganning got close to Chaisang, he landed at the ferry and went south with his Jinfan Erlang and other craftsmen. At the beginning of April, Ganning arrived in Chaisang county and went to the city to meet Zhang Xiu.

When Zhang Xiu saw Gan Ning coming, she also showed a smile on her face and said, "Xing Ba, you are here. Without you, I would have no backbone to fight with sun CE. When you come, you have the confidence. "

Ganning said, "Your Majesty, I praise you!"

After a pause, Gan Ning said, "if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. Now we are going to fight against sun CE's water army. The first is to drill the water army, and the second is to make warships. The training of the water army only needs to be carried out in the water stronghold. As for the making of warships, the last general has brought craftsmen from Jiangxia, and many of the people under the command of the last general can also make warships. They will make boats quickly so that they can fight against sun CE. "

"Very good!"

With a look of approval on her face, Zhang Xiu said, "now I have surrounded the water village by the ferry. Now our army can go to the water stronghold to garrison. Although we can't fight with sun CE on the Poyang Lake for the time being, the water village is safe, and sun CE doesn't dare to come. "

Gan Ning said, "it's not too late. I'll go right away."

Zhang Xiu said: "let's go. I'm ready to move my army to Shuizhai. You're here, and it's just the right time. "

Today, the magistrate of Chaisang county has been changed.

It's already under the control of Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu's army, in particular, is also in the water village, so she doesn't worry about what's wrong with Chaisang. Especially when Zhang Xiu's army moved, all the military supplies and equipment in Chaisang city were taken away, so even if there was something wrong with Chaisang County, Zhang Xiu was not worried.

After the army moved to Shuizhai, the army was still stationed, but Ganning was busy. He assigned soldiers to cut down trees, transported some wood prepared earlier, and prepared to make ships.

However, when Ganning was busy, Zhang Xiu went to the place where the ships were made to check one side.

At this time, the ships were all inland ships.

They were all driven on Hu Po of rivers, and they didn't make the keel of ships, or there is no keel now. The keel of a warship is mainly used for navigation at sea. It is necessary to deal with the wind and waves at sea before the appearance of the keel. Because of the appearance of the keel of the ship, the whole ship can carry more waves and draught, and has stronger resistance.

Zhang Xiu also had some idea about the keel of a ship.

He went straight back to the camp, quickly picked up the pen and ink, sketched the shape of the ship's keel, and then wrote all the details of Yiying, even the side bones of the ship's keel.

After explaining everything clearly, Zhang Xiu called Ganning, gave Ganning the manufacturing drawing of keel frame, and said: "xingba, all warships can't be simply spliced. This is the keel of warships. You arrange the craftsmen to make warships based on the keel, and then make warships again."

Keel?

Ganning has some doubts.

He was also familiar with warships. He could even make them himself, but he never heard of keels. Now hear Zhang Xiu's words, so confused, just instinctively took the book, and then quickly read.

As a knowledgeable person, as soon as Zhang Xiu's manufacturing flow chart came out, Gan Ning drew inferences from one instance, saw the advantages of keel, and exclaimed: "Your Majesty, this warship keel is really not simple. Your majesty, if our warship once collided with sun CE's warship, both sides fell apart and fell into the water, but with this keel, our warship can even directly collide. ""The existence of the keel is a sharp weapon. It can not only increase the warship's ability to fight against the wind and waves, but also enable the warship to constantly fight. It's like a carriage, which can also fight directly on the battlefield. "

Speaking of this, Gan Ning clasped his fists with both hands and said: "my emperor is holy and bright!"

Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "flattery is not necessary. Shipbuilding is carried out according to the keel. But remember, the news of our large-scale construction of warships can spread. However, the news that our warship has a keel must be kept secret. Anyone who wants to spread the news will be killed! This warship is our weapon against sun CE. "

Gan Ning said, "I understand your humble position."

As a knowledgeable person, Gan Ning knows the importance of it.

It's like a flying ball.

The enemy didn't have it, but if Qin had it, it would have the possibility of winning by surprise.

Now the keel is the same.

After equipped with the keel, all the warships of the Qin army can come and go like the wind on the Poyang Lake, and even meet sun CE's water army. When the two sides fight, they can directly bump into each other, not afraid of sun CE's warships.

This is the advantage!

Is also the key to win!

He left the book as quickly as he could. As soon as he arrived at the dock where the warships were made, he quickly called together the main shipbuilders and told them all about the keel assembly of the warships. At the beginning, the craftsmen didn't know the keel. They heard that the keel would be the foundation, but they didn't know why.

When I saw the figure, my eyes brightened and I was amazed.

They are all old craftsmen all year round.

Know the weakness of the warship, also know what the warship lacks. Today, the appearance of the keel is equivalent to the assembly of a skeleton for a warship. Only when people have a skeleton can they really be called a warship.

The chief craftsman said with admiration, "general Gan is so wise. I didn't expect that he could even think of such wonderful ideas. It's really admirable."

Gan Ning waved his hand and said, "don't praise me. I didn't think of it. It was your majesty. Your majesty, get everything ready and give it to me. "

"Your Majesty is even holy!"

The craftsman flattered again, but he looked at the keel in the picture with a gentle look.

The eyes, as if to look at lovers.

Gan Ning looked around the crowd and said, "it's about our battle with the water army of the state of Wu. Now there is the appearance of the keel, which is responsible for the keel and the subsequent process. Now it's April, and I'll give you only three months to build hundreds of warships. "

"Don't worry, general Gan, and promise to finish the task!"

The first craftsman spoke again.

They have so many people. Three months is quite enough. Even they can make the warship more reliable and ensure its combat effectiveness.
