Chapter 851: Forming a Navy

Hearing Gu Yue say this, Guo Jia was really stunned at this moment.

In modern times, Fuso Province refers to Japan, but in ancient times, it refers to Mexico in the Americas.

In a study submitted in 1761, the Frenchman said that according to Chinese historical books, in the 5th century A.D., Chinese monks had arrived in Fuso, and Fuso, he believed to be Mexico. Among Chinese scholars, Zhang Taiyan was the first to respond to this, and in his book Wenshi, he also identified Fuso as Mexico. The Chinese history books mentioned by Jin Jian refer to the "Book of Liang" and "Fusang Biography". In this way, the country of Fuso should be far away in the Americas in the western hemisphere. Cotton, which is native to Mexico, has all the characteristics of hibiscus. The leader of the Maya people in Mexico called "Dui--Lu," which is pronounced exactly what the nobles of the Fuso country mentioned in the Book of Liang: the size of "Lu". Fuso has two prisons in the north and south, the south prison for minor offenders, the north prison for felons, and the children of repeat offenders, boys are enslaved at the age of 8 and girls are enslaved at the age of 9, which is also the system of the Maya people in Mexico.

Guo Jia always thought it was a rumor, but he didn't expect that someone had really been there?

General!

Gu Yue suddenly swallowed her saliva and whispered, "Fusang Country is rich in gold, and they built a temple with gold. I've seen it with my own eyes, Huang Tongtong's, but I'm afraid of thousands of catties. In addition, pearls, gemstones, agate crystals are piled up throughout the temple. ”

Sure enough, it's Mexico!

Guo Jia nodded slowly.

Everything Gu Yue said was somewhat similar to that of the Mayans, and it is impossible to say that they really crossed the ocean to the Americas.

Thinking of this, Guo Jia's heart suddenly became active.

The Americas are rich in products, and there are many high-yield crops, such as sweet potatoes and corn, which will definitely be able to feed more people if they are brought back and cultivated on a large scale in Jizhou.

Besides, now that the Yunzhou family has a big business, it is time to form a permanent navy.

With the protection of the navy, there will be no bullying of other people's naval forces in the coastal areas.

But it is not an easy task to build a navy, first of all, to build sea ships, which will not be built in a moment and a half.

General!

Gu Yue seemed to know that Guo Jia was a little tempted, and immediately added fuel to the fire and said: "Fusang Country is relatively backward, and its combat effectiveness is relatively weak, only three or five thousand elite soldiers are needed, and his subordinates can defeat them." As long as their gold is transported back to one layer, we will be developed. ”

This guy is still immersed in the excitement of killing people and robbing treasures.

After all, he had been counting on this to live all these years.

When he first took refuge in Yuan Shao, Gu Yue also said about it, and also hoped that Yuan Shao would send troops to occupy Fusang and rob Fusang of gold.

However, Yuan Shao always thought that this guy was talking about it, so he didn't believe it at all.

Although it has now fallen into the hands of Guo Jia, this Gu Yue still does not give up. intends to persuade Guo Jia to kill and rob treasures.

Guo Jia waved his hand!

"I'm not busy yet, there's something I want to ask you. Do you know how to build a ship? ”

He had no interest in the Golden City of the Mayans. However, there is a great deal of interest in the crops of the Americas.

Besides, if you want to cross the ocean, you must have a good sea boat.

Although the building ships of the Han Dynasty are not bad, they are dwarfed if they want to sail stably in the sea.

Guo Jia suddenly thought of medieval sailing ships.

Due to his yearning for pirate culture, Guo Jia has carefully studied this aspect, but it may be difficult to build a sailing ship.

This requires a large number of craftsmen.

Gu Yue nodded and said proudly: "Our ancestors lived in Qingzhou in the last life, and they have always built ships for the imperial court. Nine times out of ten, the Han sea ships are from the hands of our people. It's just that our clansmen are in the Yellow Turban Rebellion to avoid disaster in Liaodong. As long as the general lets me go back, I can gather my people back. As long as there are materials, it is natural to be able to build large ships. ”

That's great!

Hearing that Gu Yue would build a ship, a smile appeared on Guo Jia's face.

actually picked up a talent for nothing, although there seem to be some problems with his character, but he can build ships.

As long as he builds a stable sea vessel, Guo Jia has the confidence to cross the ocean and reach the Americas.

General!

Gu Yue suddenly remembered something again, and said: "In the battle on the river beach, most of our big ships were burned, but the bottom of the boat is still there, and it only needs to be salvaged and repaired before it can be used." But there are a hundred ships in it? It's a shame to let them rot in the water. ”

Although the hull was burned in that battle, most of the bottom of the ship was still there, and it only needed to be salvaged and repaired by the boatmen, which could be reused.

The quality of Dahan's building ship is still very good.

At the beginning, Gu Yue also went to sea on a Lou boat to cross the ocean, but at that time he was just an ordinary boatman, and after coming back from Fusang Country and making up a lie, he ascended to the official position of Lou Chuan General.

It is said that the emperor rewarded Gu Yue as the general of Lou Chuan, and he also believed it, hoping that he could go to sea again to Penglai to seek immortal medicine.

It's a pity that before Gu Yue went to sea, the emperor died.

Good!

Hearing Gu Yue say this, Guo Jia nodded hurriedly, preparing to set up a naval yamen and build a ship in Jizhou.

Gu Yue naturally became the person in charge.

Of course, Guo Jia didn't trust him very much, and sent Cheng Yu to supervise.

Cheng Yu is a stable person, and Guo Jia is also very relieved to hand over this matter to him.

……

Northern Fortress!

Strategist!

Huang Xu hurriedly walked in, holding this note in his hand.

"This is the latest news from the lord."

Xun You took it, looked at it a few times, and nodded slowly.

"It seems that the lord has decided!"

In fact, he was not very enthusiastic about Guo Jia's strategy to lure wolves into the house, because although this could extinguish the vitality of the grassland nomadism, it would also cause a lot of damage to Yunzhou.

Kill a thousand and lose eight hundred!

In Xun You's opinion, it is not cost-effective.

But since Guo Jia insisted, he would also fully cooperate.

"Give the order to go down and burn the surrounding dock forts and withdraw the army to the fortress."

Xun Yu commanded.

What the?

Huang Xu was a little puzzled.

After the battle of Fuyuguo, Huang Xu grew up completely, and Guo Jia deliberately cultivated him, so he let him work under Xun You.

For most of the time, Huang Xu has also been diligent.

Xun You was also very satisfied, and many times let this young man do it.

"Strategist!"

Huang Xu coughed and said, "The enemy is outnumbered, and the surrounding dock forts are our tentacles." Once we all withdraw, we will be deaf and blind. According to his subordinates, it is better to keep the dock fort. ”

Although the fort is small, it is also an independent military unit, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is a horn with the fortress, which can effectively prevent the fortress from becoming a lonely city.

Huang Xu was a little puzzled, why did Xun Yu withdraw the garrison of Wubao at this juncture?
