135 Going Against the Current

Jiguo Lin Township, the main palace hall.

Shortly after the La gift, the spring gift was issued at the beginning of the year. On the tenth day of the dynasty, all officials were dressed in new clothes and all the things were new.

The newly opened Hai City is attracting attention.

There are 100,000 ships in Ji State. Just one paddle-wheeled machine ship, there should be 100,000 large ships across the river and sea. The ships regard the ship as their home, and the boats are ships. Imitation of the CRRC Tower in Xilinyi, all civilian ships are in the dock for renovation. Install animal power machinery and equipment, water heating and washing, and many other living conveniences, including nail joints, enamel armor, flints, and other hull reinforcement and protection transformations, all kinds of things, and so on.

The new civil buildings have been used on a large scale: the first fixed keel, the second fixed base plate, the third partition plate, and the fourth the "hull shipbuilding method" with ribs next to it, which caused the "large load of ships" due to insufficient hull structural strength, which caused "large load of ships" and could not reasonably use the cabins, and the capacity of more personnel and materials was increased sharply. The capacity of the thousand-stone merchant ships increased sharply to 5,000. The three thousand-stone large can transport tens of stones.

The new ship of Ji Wang and the three-body building ship "The Woo" have transformed the paddle wheel into a submersible wheel. It can not only avoid waves and idle, but also double the effectiveness of the normal. It should be noted that half of the paddle wheel is empty on the water, but the submersible wheel is all hidden in the water. Just roughly calculated from the blades on the wheel, it is also worthy of double. After the paddle wheel is removed on the side, the water flow resistance is reduced. It is also beneficial to sailing.

In order to transform the existing paddle steamer into a submersible wheel, it has gone through a thousand difficulties to work in the temple. It is unique, outside the left and right hulls, each of which is placed in each machine hidden groove, which looks like a long wood. The wheel pulp is arranged in the groove, and is retracted and placed through the "Machine Mantis Arm", and is used for sailing. When mooring, the mantis arm retracts and the concealed groove is closed. When sailing, the concealed groove is opened, and the mantis arm pushes the wheel into the water. The wheel set is arranged and hidden at the bottom of the ship. At this time, the Ji State machine ship is equivalent to a huge "rocker skate" in later generations.

This move not only successfully changed the paddle wheel to a submersible wheel, but also unexpectedly greatly enhanced the stability of the hull.

How can craftsmen know? They combine "swinging dragon bone" and "dive-dive-wheel slurry" into one.

The speed doubled. "Walking thousands of miles day and night" is not a dream.

If you want to do things well, you must sharpen your tools.

With the rise of the sea city, the importance of boats in the cabin was the first to be affected.

"You can hear about the barbarians in Wuxi in the previous dynasty." King Ji asked at the height of the emperor.

The Shangxiang ordered Zheng Xuan to stand up and recite, "During Guangwu, General Fubo Ma Yuan, General Ma Cheng, Geng Shu, Liu Kuang, Sun Yong and others led 40,000 troops to conquer Wuxi Man. According to the Biography of Ma Yuan, there were two lines at that time: "At first, the army was lower than Jun, and there were two roads to enter. From "Hutou", the road was close and the water was dangerous; from "Chong", the road was covered with barbarians and the road was far away." Gengshu led the way to "Chong", and Ma Yuan wanted to go to "Hutou".

The old minister secretly thought that Geng Shu wanted to fight quickly and captured the king: so he went up along the Lishui River and captured the county where Wuxi Barbarian King Xiang was stationed in one trip. Ma Yuan wanted to govern the roots and wiped out the chaos in one fell swoop: he went up against the Yuan River, first in Yuanling and Chenyang, destroyed the main force of Wuxi Barbarians, and then restored Wuling County to Yiling County.

Emperor (Guangwu) followed (Ma) to the camp. In March, he entered Hutou. The thief rode high and guarded the pass. The water was fast and the boat could not get on. The heat was too hot, and many soldiers died of epidemics. The thief was also sick and trapped, so he crossed the shore to make a room to avoid the heat. Whenever the thief rose, he would rush to see it. He mourned his strong intentions and all laughed at him... "

Liu Bei nodded gently: "The reason why General Fu Bo was defeated was because the thieves rode high and guarded the pass, and the water was fast and the ship could not advance against the enemy."

"Old minister, I think so too." Zheng Xuan replied.

"Can the steamships in Ji State be able to move forward against the current?" asked King Ji again.

The Zuo Guo ordered Huang Chengyan to report: "There should be no disadvantage."

"Does the lord want to conquer the Southern Barbarians?" Zheng Xuan asked in shock. If the name is not correct, the words will not be satisfactory. Although the late emperor gave Huang Yue, the barbarians did not rebel, how could they kill without authorization?

"No. I wanted to send all the ships in the sea to retake the route of General Fubo to fight against the thieves. I went against the Yuan River, and moored in Chenyang and the old port of Yiling to communicate with the barbarians." King Ji Daoming his mind.

"This move is to intimidate!" Sima Hui, the priest of the disciple, said with a smile.

"This is one of them. When the Hai City arrives, the barbarians will know that the natural chasing water is dangerous and not enough to be a screen." King Ji said: "I want to merge the Yiling and Wuyang in Chenyang in the early Han Dynasty, and then separate the old land of the former Han Dynasty. Following the example of Longyou and using it to resettle the barbarians, it is the second one."

"If this is the case, Jingnan can be settled." Sima Wei bowed to her.

"The Wuxi Man District is also the case." Ji Wang Gaowu Jianling: "On-site resettlement and migration outside the mountain, we advance on both tracks. Along the Yuan River and its branches, Jinqing, Wu, Wu, Lishui, etc., we build port berths and dig a traction plank road to facilitate the sailing."

"I, please follow the order." It is really our wise master.

"Who should be handed over to the construction of a port through navigation?" asked the right prime minister Geng Yong.

"I wanted to follow Longyou, and I reported to the court. I opened a new 'Protector of the Nanman School' to govern Wuling. Another person was the Shuiheng Duwei, who was in charge of the construction of the port."

The guardian captain of the Southern Barbarians was the commander of the barbarians in Jingzhou, and he ruled the barbarians and soldiers, established the palace and appointed the subordinates. He maintained his integrity and guarded his grievances, followed him during the year and asked about his sufferings.

The Duwei of Shuiheng was originally the official in charge of the royal family's finances: "The official in ancient mountains and forests was called Heng, and the ponds were in charge of the ponds, so it was called 'Shuiheng'." It was established in the second year of Yuanding of Emperor Wu. Now the Han Dynasty abolished it, and the part of the royal family's finances was placed in Shaofu. The water conservancy and shipping part was assigned to the Dushui envoy. During the Three Kingdoms period, Wei re-established it, and the navy was in charge of the ships and equipment. After the Jin Dynasty, it was not often established. The Southern Song Dynasty once established the Shuheng Order. The Tang Dynasty once changed the Dushui Supervisor to the Dushui Commander, and then restored its former title.

"Who should I represent you and take on the positions of two heroes?" asked the right prime minister Geng Yong again.

Liu Bei had already made a decision: "The royal family member Liu Jingsheng, consul (Liu) Pan, was loyal and brave, and could be appointed as the captain of the Southern Barbarians. The younger junior brother Zhou Yu, consul and Zhou Hui, could be the position of the commander of the Shuiheng Duwei."

Zhou Hui, whose courtesy name was Gongyao, was from Shu, Lujiang. He stayed in his ancestral home and failed to go north to Ji State with his clan. He was a good guest and often took more than a hundred carriages in the Jianghuai River.

The left prime minister Cui Jun understood: "I heard that the court wanted to make Liu Biao the governor of Jingzhou. The lord said that his follower was the captain of the Southern Barbarians, and he was also following the flow of human nature. However, the position of the commander of the Shuiheng seemed to be light, but in fact, he had a heavy responsibility and a long way to go. It was related to the lord's 'the army was not bloodless and he was prestige in the world'. It was far from comparable to the captain of the Southern Barbarians."

Sima Huiyan, the priest of the disciple, said: "If Liu Jingsheng is not appointed as the emperor, and the lord is appointed as the emperor to govern Jingnan, he will be afraid. This is a temporary solution."

On political maturity, King Ji was as mature as the body and mind.

To put it bluntly, this is also an exchange of interests. Liu Biao was about to be the governor of Jingzhou, so how could he sit and watch King Ji and plan half of Jingnan territory? In the eyes of ordinary people, the power of the guardian Nan barbarian lieutenant is far from comparable to the commander of Shuheng. However, in the view of King Ji, he is not in the power of military revolution. The guardian Taiwei, clearing waterways, building ports and Tianjin, and communicating with the barbarians. The duties are far from comparable to those of the guardian Nan barbarian lieutenant.
