Chapter 4248 The Road to the Crown
The current battlefield nursing technology of the Han Dynasty still has great problems. Although it is firmly the first in the world, the real survival rate of wounded soldiers is still only about 75%, and pure arrow injuries can reach more than 90%. Other types of injuries are relatively difficult to treat, which reduces the survival rate. Although this ratio is already very high for people of this era.
After all, these days, people are in a kind of headache and fever that can be lost. The survival rate of 75% is higher for most soldiers than those who get sick at home.
However, Chen Xi knew that the survival rate could actually be improved. Before the 20th century, professional nurses could have reduced the mortality rate of wounded soldiers to below 2%.
The origin of Nightingale's Lantern Goddess is to reduce the mortality rate of wounded soldiers from 42% to below 2%. Although the Han Dynasty cannot do that at this level now, Chen Xi thought that it would be okay to press 10%.
However, after the survival rate is stuck at 75%, it cannot be increased. Now this spiritual relic can be accompanied by two very low-level special healing abilities, so 90% is likely to be achieved.
Although it is only a 15-point gap, it will bring about improvements in morale, reserve backbones, and the number of elite veterans. More importantly, it will make the people in the rear feel more at ease.
It was precisely because Chen Xi understood this and thought about it and then hesitated again.
This time, his expression was obviously a bit fake. If Zhou Yu still didn't notice it, Chen Xi had no choice. Fortunately, Zhou Yu was not blind.
"By the way, I forgot something. Do you still remember what happened?" Zhou Yu asked with a look of thought.
"We will move the military system next." Chen Xi said decisively.
Zhou Yu nodded and looked at Chen Xi with some strangeness. Zhou Yu wanted to move in this regard of the military system for a long time, but he couldn't move. Even Sun Ce and he were almost the guardian god of Jiangdong's private soldiers.
Is it just that hesitant expression required to make this question? This shouldn’t be a established fact? What should I hesitate about? Even if Chen Xi doesn’t say it, Zhou Yu will push it.
"You don't have to worry about the fleet. At most, the new fleet will be fully equipped in one year." Chen Xi looked at Zhou Yu and said solemnly again.
"The military problem takes time to solve it. I never doubt the ship. When Cai Degui retreated, he only withdrew less than 10,000 naval forces. This was the result of Cai Degui finding that the situation was not good, and he sank several troops with a completely closed ship, and decisively took the others to abandon the ship to retreat." Zhou Yu said with some fatigue.
Generally speaking, the captain will basically choose to live and die with the ship. This time it is really thanks to Cai Mao who found that the opponent's gesture was unstoppable and decisively abandoned the ship and fled, otherwise the loss would only be greater.
"How is the fish canned factory on your side?" Chen Xi said casually. Zhou Yu did not turn around and was ready to answer, but he reacted in the next moment, and then looked at Chen Xi suddenly, and the two sides looked at each other solemnly.
"Is the largest state-owned fishing industry in the Han Dynasty and the fish processing industry?" Zhou Yu nodded and asked at Chen Xi. Chen Xi nodded slightly. Both sides knew it at this time.
Even Zhou Yu understood that Chen Xi actually didn't want to mention this, because it was inevitable to move the army system. It would really be a jealous person to mention this again.
But Chen Xi’s suggestion now is really because of the spiritual relics in his hand. Without this thing, Chen Xi pretended to be dead this time, and saw when Zhou Yu thought of it, and then asked Zhou Yu to take the lead in fighting with those people in Jiangdong for the issue of naval configuration.
Zhou Yuxu knocked on his knuckles. At this time, something upset or heart failure quickly subsided. Zhou Yu's condition had returned to near normal levels.
"Not yet. I will change my hand after Chang'an requests the imperial edict." Zhou Yu frowned and said.
"Okay, I will share some of your attention here. After I go back, I will sack some of the staff of the East China Sea Ocean Fisheries Department and recruit on a large scale again." Chen Xi nodded and said, Zhou Yu is still as trustworthy as before.
Zhou Yu nodded after hearing this, roughly understood Chen Xi’s thoughts, and also understood that Chen Xi was actually taking risks this time, and this kind of political pressure was quite great.
"Then it's the aftermath." Chen Xi sighed and said.
"When the Shangxiang Hou was buried, you or the Grand Marshal might need to go there." Zhou Yu looked at Chen Xi with a solemn expression.
"The Grand Marshal will go, I probably won't be able to go then." Chen Xi nodded and said, "When Young Master Kou comes back, you may need to take care of you."
Zhou Yu didn't say anything, just nodded. This is the right thing to do. Since ancient times, the commander of the Central Army must do a good job of statistics.
After Chen Xi finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu thought for a while, took out the map and threw it to Chen Xi. "The next problem is very big. Of course, it was very big before. Now, at least it can be kept. You can understand when you look at the map."
Chen Xi reached out to take the map, opened the map and looked at it, showing a look of thought.
"When did you find it?" Chen Xi looked at the map of Yicheng Buguo, which is Ceylon Island in later generations, and frowned. The situation was a bit bad. Chen Xi didn't even expect it to become like this before.
"I started thinking about this on the way back." Zhou Yu said with a cautious expression. As for other unnecessary words, Zhou Yu didn't say a single word.
"When the navy suffered heavy losses, this is a big problem." Chen Xi took a deep breath and said with a little dullness.
After the navy disappeared, the entire Kunwu Kingdom was under the military front of the Mengkangbu Navy.
With the terrain of Kunwu, it is difficult to withstand Mengkangbu's attack, but this is not very important in terms of the overall strategic situation. What is important is that after the Han Dynasty's navy suffered heavy losses, Mengkangbu could defeat the Bay of Bengal in the north, threaten the downstream defense zone of the Han Dynasty, force the Jiangdong forces in Southeast Asia in the east, and more importantly, he could protect the Western Indian Ocean behind him.
In this way, it became extremely difficult for the Han Dynasty to attack the Western Indian Ocean.
"Kunwu Country can only be said to be a relatively important ban, but it actually has no important strategic significance." Zhou Yu sighed and said, but next...
Kunwu Kingdom was established by the Dalit, Ganges River. Therefore, after the founding of the country, as long as the Brahmins did not take the initiative to provoke the Brahmins, the Brahmins would not want to get this shit.
Just like no matter how brave the soldiers were, they didn’t want to duel with dogs. In the Brahmin environment, Dalit’s status was like this, so there was actually not much pressure from Kunwu when he was established, because Kunwu, which Kou Jun, was not a big deal.
Simply put, the Brahmins realized that they would be peaceful if they could not see Dalit, so they had been in peace before.
However, Beigui doesn’t care about the concept of Dalit, but Kunwu Country has a eldest princess, so Beigui is in charge of fighting. He can fight, but the princess will definitely not be able to grab it.
Just like when Zhou Yu was fighting Qunnu's City, the things he prepared were guaranteed to be able to capture Qunnu's City, but no one was able to locate Liu Ling and confiscate his hometown. Zhou Yu had zero confidence in taking Liu Ling.
So Beigui's attitude at that time was to investigate and investigate, waiting for the opportunity to do something in one go, but the time was delayed a little long and it has not been implemented yet.
So Kunwu Country just stood up in the cracks, but it doesn’t mean that Kunwu Country has stood firm. In fact, Kunwu Country has not stood firm. The reason why it can stand is because someone supports it.
It’s not that Meng Kangbu can’t defeat Kunwu, but that it’s useless to fight. In the case of Kunwu, it’s not a loss to not fight an important role. If you want to fight an important role, you have to go ashore. When the Han Navy is not collapsed, Zhou Yu hopes that Meng Kangbu will be foolish and be caught and beaten to death.
Therefore, both sides have always been in a dynamic equilibrium state. Now that the Han navy has been annihilated, Mengkangbu cut off the constraints and the balance has been broken. Mengkangbu, who is already strong, has occupied Ceylon Island and used this as a base to seize the Baoke Strait, and can directly use this as a springboard to disgust the Han Dynasty everywhere.
Even if we occupied an island and had a base, the continuous supply of energy from the Western Indian Ocean would not have made Mengkangbu bigger.
But the terrain over there is quite nonsense. The Rama Bridge in the mythology is in the Poké Strait. Simply put, although the width of this strait is sixty or seventy kilometers here, it is basically impossible for the fleet to pass there due to the existence of the Rama Bridge.
The so-called Rama Bridge is actually a series of intermittent limestone reefs and small sandbanks. Not to mention the arrangement of super heavy crossbows on these sandbanks. Even if not, the place cannot pass through because of islands and reefs.
Therefore, as long as Mengkangbu locks both ends of the Rama Bridge, when the navy cannot contain the opponent, the opponent can really attack and defend.
"Didn't you seize Ceylon Island before?" Chen Xi asked in silence for a while.
After Zhou Yu pointed out the existence of Ceylon Island and Rama Bridge, Chen Xi understood how troublesome it would be for the Han Dynasty if Meng Kangbu squatted in this place.
"How do you think the current situation in Ceylon Island can be maintained?" Zhou Yu said helplessly, "Actually, before
, I once wanted to capture it, but it was far away from me, and it was not good to stretch my hands too long, so I had contacted Shangxiang Hou before, and Shangxiang Hou consciously occupied it."
It’s useless. Even if Kou Jun occupied it, it’s useless now. Not to mention Ceylon Island, even if it’s Kunwu Country, Meng Kangbu’s ruthless moves can be defeated quickly. It depends on how much the loss is. After all, Kunwu Country is a coastal country.
"In this case, Kunwu Country will also destroy the country." Chen Xi sighed. What's the matter? Why did it suddenly become like this? Wasn't it good before? Why did it suddenly destroy the country? Do you have no ability to resist risks at all?
Having said that, Chen Xi already understood where the problem lies.
The premise for Kunwu Kingdom to exist is that the Han Dynasty has a powerful navy. Without a navy, the essence of the entire country is all on the seaside and is arranged in a slender strip, which can be done at any time.
"It won't destroy the country." Zhou Yu waved his hand and said, "Dalit will fight for the Kou family until the last moment.
Zhou Yu recalled what happened in Qunnu City when Kou Jun was still alive and the situation where the soldiers of Chengyi Army followed Kou Jun until their death. He understood that Kunwu Country would not destroy the country no matter what. Even if Meng Kangbu could defeat all the important cities in Kunwu Country, as long as the Young Master Kou, who inherited Kou Jun's throne, did not give up, he would not stop even if he fought guerrillas.
After listening to Zhou Yu's detailed analysis and explanation, Chen Xi nodded and said nothing.
"I asked the young men whom Shangxiang Hou gave me the situation. They were strong and brave, so naturally they would not give up their father and grandfather's will." Zhou Yu looked at Chen Xi and said seriously.
"So next time Kunwuguo will turn into a new main battlefield when he goes to Ceylon Island, and then Kou Feng will defeat this place to the point where he will not retreat even if he does not retreat?" Chen Xi was silent for a while, a little dazed.
Kou Feng would never retreat. Even after Meng Kangbu defeated Kunwu capital, he persuaded Kou Feng with the inheritance of the Kou family, Kou Feng would not retreat.
Because at that time, one side will be grandmother and the other side will follow their Kou family to the death. Even if they fight to the point of fighting, they are willing to fight to the point of defeating their own people, what will Kou Feng choose?
To be precise, it is not what Kou Feng chooses, but the eldest princess of Yiyang will inevitably release Kou Feng's constraints. As the princess of the Han Dynasty, they basically have a view of the overall situation. Moreover, the rich all know that it is painful to lose people, but if the spirit is destroyed, they are just walking corpses.
Therefore, when millions of subjects were still fighting, the eldest princess of Yiyang could not continue to restrain Kou Feng no matter what.
What is the ninth generation single race, what is the number of ranks? At that point, Kou Feng could not be at ease watching his subjects fighting on the front line while he stayed in a safe area.
Chen Xi clearly realized that there seemed to be no choice. Kou Feng either put down Kunwu country and became a stallion, or brought the crown with him, carrying the burden his father had given him, and this time heavier than when Kou Jun carried it.
"Can he carry it?" Chen Xi asked after being silent for a while.
"At least, Shang Xianghou believes that he can carry it." Zhou Yu was very serious.
