Chapter 905: Take it directly from the enemy and use it against the enemy
At the ports of Youzhou, Yuyang County, and Quanzhou, a large number of sea-going ships are docked neatly in the ports. Thousands of workers on the docks are sweating to carry goods, and more than a dozen gantry cranes are constantly loading supplies to the sea-going ships.
After all the supplies ordered by the military were loaded one after another, the empty ships docked on the plank road at the port.
All the workers on the dock will now retreat. About half an hour after arriving, the sound of neat footsteps sounded in the port, and groups of soldiers marched into the port with neat steps and boarded ships one after another.
The original plan to deal with the Wuheng people was to directly push forward. There is no need to use any conspiracy or trick to deal with such a weak enemy. An upright teacher is the best. The simpler the plan, the smaller the chance of mistakes. However, due to the intervention of the Langxie Wang family,
, Wang Xuan could only modify the original plan.
On the basis of his original responsibility for pushing back the Wuheng people, Wang Xuan decided to lead a group of troops alone by sea into Liaodong Bay, then go north along the Yu River (later Daling River), and directly attack Liucheng, the home of the Wuheng people.
It's not really a clever plan. It's just an idea to capture the thief first. Of course, all this relies on Liu Bei's navy far exceeding that of this era. He can attack, retreat or defend by relying on warships.
, there is no need to worry about being trapped behind enemy lines.
There are many benefits to seizing the Wuheng people's lair. It can not only put the Wuheng people into a leaderless situation and speed up the time to eliminate the Wuheng people, but also set off directly from Liucheng and go directly to Xuantu County through the Liaoxi Corridor to wipe out the people entrenched in Xuantu County.
Tujun, Liaodong County and the Goguryeo people in its northeast.
Speaking of which, the county seat of Xuantu County is called Goguryeo. This name made Wang Xuan dislike it. It inexplicably reminded him of the "Great Universe Country". The three Han Dynasties have now disappeared, but this name of Goguryeo is not available all at once.
That’s it. I never thought about Goguryeo before, but now I feel like it’s stuck in my throat and I feel uncomfortable!
Goguryeo should not be underestimated. It is also a semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural nation, with a small proportion of nomadic people and mostly farming. The ethnic groups are mainly Haoyun and Fuyu people, and later absorbed some Mohe people, ancient Korean survivors and Samhan people.
.
It was officially founded in 37 BC and has been passed down continuously. It has more legal systems than the Western Han Dynasty. If Wang Xuan had not had the idea to attack Goguryeo this time, he would have continued it in history until the Tang Dynasty.
It was destroyed by the Tang Dynasty in 668 AD.
During the seven hundred years of its existence, it has done many great things and passed down many evocative stories, including "Yijian Master Cailin" and his three female apprentices during the "Three Conquests of Goryeo" during the Sui Dynasty.
What happened between Fu Junma, Fu Junyu and Fu Junqiang in "The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty: The Storm of Goguryeo".
Of course, Wang Xuan has never read this book.
The reason why Goguryeo is called Goguryeo is because at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the Fuyu people occupied Xuantu County, Liaodong County, and Lelang County in the east of Youzhou. In 37 BC, the Fuyu people Jumeng Xuantu County established Goguryeo, so it was called Goguryeo.
In the early Eastern Han Dynasty, the capital was moved to the inner city on the north bank of the Yalu River in the east.
In terms of strength, Goguryeo is not comparable to the Wuheng people. Wang Xuan does not plan to destroy Goguryeo this time. Regardless of time, transportation or military strength, Goguryeo is not easy to win. Wang Xuan will not take too many
The time was wasted on Goguryeo. This time, Xuantu County and Liaodong County were captured in preparation for mining. At the same time, a large area of land to the north of Xuantu County was captured and given to the Wang family.
As for the future, I believe that under the ambition of founding the country, those aristocratic families will slowly and completely erode Goguryeo. Wang Xuan has never underestimated the power of those aristocratic families.
The fundamental reason why China's territory has never continued to expand after the Han Dynasty is not that the Han people are incapable, but that the imperial powers of the past dynasties have deliberately suppressed the Chinese people's desire to expand. It is nothing more than fear of poor management and being out of reach. If time goes by, it will turn around and backfire on the Central Plains dynasty.
That’s all.
If it were not for this kind of selfishness, given the number of Han people and their almost obsessive pursuit of land, there would be no chance for other ethnic groups to survive.
The size of China's territory during the Shang and Zhou dynasties was very large, and how big it was when the Qin Dynasty destroyed the six kingdoms. There is no comparison at all. The stimulation of the feudal system is the best way to expand the territory. There is no one way.
Large ships raised their sails one after another and slowly sailed away from Quanzhou Port one after another. For a time, thousands of sails shone, which was extremely spectacular.
For a surprise attack, you don’t need too many troops. Ten thousand people are enough. Although it will be slightly insufficient when attacking Goguryeo, it is not a big problem...
Standing on the balcony in front of the captain's cabin, looking at the generals on the deck, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Hua Xiong, Guan Hai, Zhou Tai, Gan Ning, Wei Yan, Huang Zhong, Tai Shi Ci, Zhang
Xiu, Wu Anguo, Xu Huang, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Huang Xu, Lu Bu, Gongsun Zan, Zhang Liao, and Wang Xuan had no emotions in their hearts and even wanted to laugh a little.
With these twenty people as the base, an army of ten thousand people is just a foil. God's high-walled and fortified city, God's elite division, does not exist. Imagine the scene of these twenty people charging at the same time... Oh well
, I dare not look at it!
As for why more than 300 large ships were mobilized to transport only 10,000 troops, in fact, the materials transported were basically materials used for construction. With the Wang family taking the lead and all the big families in Hebei helping, these more than 300 large ships could not transport more than
It's just the beginning, even ten more trips won't be too much. Besides, when you return, you can transport a large amount of purchased loot back to the Central Plains and make a lot of money.
The distance from Quanzhou to the mouth of the Chongqing River is only 400 kilometers. Due to time constraints, the shipbuilding technology brought by Wang Xuan has not been developed to its limit, and the speed is only about 6 knots. However, due to the different worlds, the fleet is in Gansu.
Under the control of Ning Haijun, they formed a formation and the speed increased by 40% to more than 8 knots. Although the boat was slower at night, it took only a little over 400 kilometers to reach the mouth of the Chongqing River in a day and a night.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After arriving at Yushui, due to the coastal conditions, it is not suitable for large ships to dock. However, sea ships are equipped with small boats specially used for turnover and navigation on the river.
Of course, the so-called small boats are also compared to large ships. In fact, in the Han Dynasty, they were also large-scale walking boats.
People and horses were transferred from the big ship one after another and began to move towards the shore, followed by a large number of supplies and craftsmen accompanying the army.
Wang Xuan followed the first batch of small boats to the entrance of the Chongqing River. Not long after, officials from the Construction Department accompanying him came to report, "Report to the National Master, the coastline here is of impact type and is not suitable for building a standard port. At most, it can
Build a foundation."
Wang Xuan nodded and didn't say much. He just waved to the Construction Department to prepare for construction.
In fact, Wang Xuan knew that the address that was really suitable for building a port was either at the estuary of the Xiaoling River in the east, which would later be Yingkou, or at the estuary of the Xiaoling River in the west, which would be Jinzhou Port in later generations. However, the direct connection of the Chongqing River to Liucheng was the result of this surprise attack.
The channel can only be like this for the time being.
But in the end, we still have to build a formal port in Yingkou. With the current transportation needs and national strength, building a standard port in Yingkou is enough for the entire Liaodong region. The Jinzhou side can only be abandoned, and the Yushui side is just a temporary port.
, enough for short-term use.
After repairing the shore for two days and waiting for various materials to be transported from the big ship to the shore, a group of soldiers boarded the river boat again and began to sail upstream along the Chongqing River, heading directly for Liucheng.
In fact, all the soldiers participating in the surprise attack are cavalry, and they can go north by land. However, the transportation capacity required to transport ten thousand horses is too exaggerated. After all, the space required for a horse is several times that of a person. In addition, it requires
There were too many supplies to be transported, so the cavalry had to be transformed into infantry and went upstream. Fortunately, what the Wuheng people lacked the most was war horses. They could just take them from the enemy and use them against the enemy.
As for failure or encountering difficulties... Wang Xuan never considered whether he looked down on the twenty generals behind him who had unleashed their power!
