Chapter 1868: The navy cannot defeat it, the army teaches people
[Forget it, no matter what, I will prepare the resources for them. As for how much they can go, it is not something I can grasp. I don’t know what Ziyi is doing now, I hope there will be no mistakes.] Chen Xi stood in Zhou Yu’s courtyard, looking out into the east, as if his vision had surpassed the horizon and saw the East Sea.
When Chen Xi made the last piece of platter for Taishi Ci, Gan Ning and others, Taishi Ci had already gone to Donglai, the hometown of Qingzhou by Li You, where he received the biggest weapon of the navy, which was that Lu Jun burned most of the seventh-generation ships made by Lu Jiajia.
Cai Mao and others were also there. After Sun Ceche flew to Jingzhou, Liu Biao and others, Cai Mao was half aware of disaster and half a deported to Sili. After all, he had a relatively good relationship with Cao Cao, and he also had a very good ability to train troops in water battles.
Facing his old friend who came to surrender to him, Cao Cao accepted him without saying a word, but Cao Cao's situation was quite a scam and he had no place to train sailors. Therefore, although Cao Cao did not treat Cai Mao with nothing, it was not a big deal to make a living every day.
So this is also the reason why Cai Mao clearly has an official position but is no different from being idle at home. After Gan Ning broke, Taishi Ci's ability to command the navy was not very good after all.
Li You and Chen Xi almost thought at the same time that they had to find someone to support Taishi Ci first when Gan Ning was not here, otherwise their navy army would be basically finished.
Cai Mao became the first choice at that time. On the one hand, there are only a few naval generals scattered among the people, and very few of them can stand the test. Cai Mao is one of the best. Although he was flew away by Zhou Yu, from a certain perspective, this basically includes the force majeure factor. The water battle with Zhou Yu in the Three Kingdoms era was basically not a good end.
On the other hand, Cai Mao was Huang Chengyan's brother-in-law. There was not a single person on Liu Bei's side, and even if he came over, he would not have done too badly. So after Li You arranged the frame and sincerely invited him, Cai Mao decisively moved his family to Liu Bei's rule.
Li You reciprocates his love and makes a place for the Cai family not far from the Huang family, and then lets the Cai family live in. Cai Mao is deeply satisfied with this.
At present, Li You has settled hundreds of people from the Cai family, so naturally Cai Mao has no other problems. He immediately went to Donglai, Qingzhou with Taishici to receive the seventh-generation ship from Lu Jun's family under Li You's order.
Li You had already managed all aspects of the money. Chen Xi hesitated and finally approved the amount of money. Of course, the one billion yuan R&D expenses the Lu family wanted was completely hopeless, but Chen Xi was not too dark, and gave 20 million yuan R&D expenses. As for the remaining part, it depends on the Navy's future performance.
When Cai Mao left, he brought the guards who moved to the country. It was obvious that these people were all the navy of Jingxiang. Although they had certain private soldiers, it was meaningless to not private soldiers at this time. Rebuild the navy first, otherwise the rest would be salted fish.
After Li You sent Cai Mao and Taishi Ci away, he returned to Yecheng again. In his words, if I were not born in the inland, I would have to train you guys myself.
After returning to Yecheng, Li You did not go to the Government Affairs Department, but instead ran to the barracks that Wan Peng used to train the Western Liang Iron Cavalry. These soldiers are now undergoing the third stage of training and are almost barely able to use them.
"Meng Gong, how are your soldiers training?" Li You asked, looking at the soldiers who were fighting for real guns below and a row of medical soldiers standing outside.
"No, although the conditions are much better now than before, I feel that training is not as good as before. In my opinion, these bastards must practice hard." Wan Peng shook his head repeatedly. The performance of this wave of recruits seemed too bad to him.
"Let me go back and move the military camp to the edge of the Yellow River, add one to the boat and don't get dizzy." Li You glanced at the soldiers below and found that it was really not enough to see, but it was nothing if you didn't see enough. Keep practicing, and you'll be enough to see it as you practice.
"Are you going to be dizzy when you get on the boat?" Wan Peng was a little embarrassed. He was dizzy when he got on the boat. To be precise, the people in Liangzhou were all dizzy except for those who had internal energy left their body.
"You're dizzy, you practice too." Li You glanced at it and said, "We really can't fight in the water battle, but we can use the seventh-generation ship to carry the opponent, and then transport troops to the opposite side. I don't believe that the opponent's defense is so tight that the ship cannot land?"
"..." Wan Peng had nothing to say. He found that his military advisor seemed to be offended by the navy army and was ready to make up for this in other ways.
"I don't have time to learn about naval forces now, and water warfare is as complicated as land warfare. I can't learn to this level now. It's not very meaningful to learn it below this level. So it's better to change the way, using the ship as a troop transport equipment and directly transport the elite army to the enemy's territory." Li You said helplessly.
Wan Peng nodded to express his understanding. Indeed, when the gap in naval combat capabilities between the two sides is too large, using this method is indeed a way to solve the problem.
What's more, the Han Dynasty is a well-known army that is particularly capable of fighting. It has been since ancient times. It has not been a blow to Wan Peng. It has transported 10,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry to the shore. There is no point in stopping the enemy from 50,000 or 60,000 naval troops on the other side.
"Then I will then set up the camp and move the camp to the bank of the Yellow River, but I cannot guarantee that I can train soldiers who adapt to the warships." Wan Peng received the order, but expressed his hesitation, and Li You did not force it.
By the way, this is Li You's biggest weakness. His friends, his life circle is all from the north, and none of them understands this, and he himself is unwilling to get on the boat to play, so when facing Wan Peng's request, Li You can only express his understanding.
"Why are you giving me a gift? No one is there anymore. You don't come back until lunch?" Lu Su asked in confusion when he saw Li You coming back.
"I went to the military camp and made some adjustments to the training. Are you sure you won't go to Chang'an?" Li You replied casually.
"If you don't go, there is a place of right and wrong now. Whoever wants to go, whoever wants to go? Anyway, I don't need merits. I'd better manage and govern it first." Lu Su shook his head and said, "If you say it, it's not just me who doesn't go. Didn't you go?"
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Zijing, are you sure we can practice with this place?" Li You pointed to the island east of Qingzhou and asked.
