Chapter 228 On the Road
In fact, Fang Zhiwen doesn't need to go to Lelang in person, firstly, his honeymoon is not over, and secondly, he is now the leader of a political force, no longer a fierce general who charges into battle.
This third reason is because Lelang is too small, Lelang County itself is less than 300,000 Dingkou, even if the Sanhan area coveted by Fang Zhiwen, the total population does not exceed 300,000, in other words, that is, on the Korean Peninsula, Fang Zhiwen can establish two third-level towns at most, which is just enough to realize Fang Zhiwen's layout, if you want to further develop Lelang, you need a large population.
And the only people around Lelang County who can be used by him to plunder the population are Goguryeo, but although Goguryeo has a large territory, the total population is only about 600,000, even if Zhou Xing slowly organizes troops to arrest it, it is not so fast to enrich the population of Lelang County. As for introducing player forces, Fang Zhiwen does not plan to introduce a large number of player forces in Lelang for the time being, even if the original player forces exist, Fang Zhiwen will mainly suppress them.
The last reason why Zhiwen should not go to Lelang in theory, of course, is the appearance of Zhao Yun, originally Fang Zhiwen personally went to Lelang to sit in charge, naturally not because Lelang's horse thief is fierce, but to guard against Gongsun Zan in the north, and now that Zhao Yun is a fierce man, there is no need for Fang Zhiwen to go to Lelang again.
However, Fang Zhiwen insisted on going to Lelang on the grounds that Zhao Yun was leading the troops for the first time and was inexperienced, of course, it was not that he was tired of the peaceful days, but that he wanted to personally select a port as the northern base of the Zhou Tai Navy in the future, and neither Zhao Yun nor the Chen brothers had any way to do it for him.
The place Fang Zhiwen envisioned was actually Seoul in the future, and the location recommended by Li Xueyin was also here, but she suggested not to build the city at the location of the current Mahan capital, but to build it directly by the sea. In this way, the automatic expansion function of the system can be used to form a high-quality urban port. This can only be decided after seeing it in the field. Therefore, Fang Zhiwen is not going to ~~-update the first release~~ Yes.
Although Zhen Jiang was a little reluctant, he also knew that he could not hinder his husband's great cause, and his husband went this time. With Zhao Yun, a fierce general, there is no need to rush to the front in everything. The danger is also much less, in fact, the risk of Lelang is definitely much smaller than that of Fengning County.
This time, Zhen Yao also had to follow his peers, mainly because Zhen Yao had experience in building ports. Meantime. It is also possible that Zhen Yao will serve as the chief official of the future port city in the future, but Fang Zhiwen didn't tell anyone about this matter, not even Zhen Jiang said, it depends on Zhen Yao's performance at that time.
Under Zhen Jiang's reluctant gaze, the cavalry of the brigade set off from Miyun City to the outside. It was claimed that it was Chen Shuo's team that went to serve as the Taishou of Lelang County, and the nominal military commander was Zhou Xing. And Fang Zhiwen, Zhao Yun and Zhen Xiang were dressed in ordinary cavalry equipment and went out of the city together in the troops.
Zhao Yun is indeed a new nen, and the knowledge of marching mainly comes from the war book and the master's teachings, which makes Fang Zhiwen quite surprised, and he didn't expect Tong Yuan to be a military strategist.
Zhou Xing is different, Zhou Xing is from an ordinary soldier who works hard, the basic knowledge and experience are extremely rich, in this regard, Zhou Xing can be Zhao Yun's master, and Zhou Xing has obvious Fang Zhiwen's imprint, such as the use of scouts, such as the arrangement of light and dark whistles, such as careful preparation before camping, such as the control of camp lights, etc., these many small skills and habits have formed the unique style of Fang Zhiwen's troops.
These details took into account all aspects, which made Zhao Yun amazed, and quickly learned this set of things, and he didn't feel embarrassed at all, he asked Zhou Xing for advice if he didn't understand, and even Zhou Xing couldn't answer it, so he asked Fang Zhiwen for advice, knowing that these were Fang Zhiwen's teachings, Zhao Yun's respect for Fang Zhiwen deepened again.
The march of the troops didn't have to worry about Fang Zhiwen in the first place, but now that Zhao Yun is in charge, Fang Zhiwen doesn't care anymore, but focuses on the staff that followed Xiangxiang to perform the task for the first time, this time with Xiangxiang came out with five operational staff officers, these people were all selected by Xiangxiang, Fang Zhiwen nodded, and they belonged to young generals with relatively high intellectual potential and active and bold personalities.
After supplementing the intelligence and political points for these young generals as much as possible, the rest depends on their own efforts, of course, it would be better if someone could teach them, but unfortunately, it is really difficult to invite talents in this area, I originally wanted to ask the world to invite a different person to take charge, but in the end, Fang Zhiwen still gave up, and set up a staff department by himself, he didn't want the player forces to know for the time being, and they were more wary of themselves.
And when Zhao Yun is free, he will also run to the general staff, and as a result, almost all the generals who have nothing to do will gather in the general staff, watching Xiangxiang organize these staff officers to conduct war games deduction, or campaign planning, perhaps, they will play this as a game.
The distance from Miyun City to Lelang County is almost two thousand miles, and Fang Zhiwen's cavalry troops are lightly armed, so it will only take about five to six days, but because they are not in a hurry, the plan is to go for ten days, in order to let Zhao Yun get familiar with the troops in these ten days. Due to the large number of Fang Zhiwen's troops and their combat effectiveness is amazing, there will be no wild monsters or players looking for trouble with this army in the wilderness, looking at the entire Youzhou, the only one who can compete with this force may be Gongsun Zhan's cavalry troops.
Now Youzhou and the last time Fang Zhiwen traveled to Lelang is the situation has been very different, the main reason is, of course, because the Wuhuan people are basically disabled, Xianbei people also shrink their hands, in the east of Youzhou in addition to Xuansu and Liaodong, Changli and the figure of the Hu people, in the right Beiping, Liaoxi can hardly be found Hu people, even the number of Hu monsters has been greatly reduced, players have begun to turn their eyes to the outside of the plug, and those who stay in the south of Youzhou, most of them are second- and third-rate guilds or even retail players.
Fang Zhiwen and his entourage basically marched along the coast of the Bohai Sea, and in the evening, the camp had been set up, and Fang Zhiwen took a few guards and drove his horse to the sea.
I received Zhou Tai's report today, and now he has finally gathered enough two thousand official sailors, as for the ships, they are still mainly snatched from pirates, and the Zhu family's shipyard at the mouth of the Qinghe River has just begun, mainly to build some inland rivers and small boats near the shore, and ships above five hundred stones cannot be built, of course, it may also be that the Zhu family is deliberately controlling.
Another purpose of Fang Zhiwen's layout in Lelang is to create a shipyard that is not restricted by others, in the shipyard at the mouth of the Qinghe River, Fang Zhiwen naturally knows that the Zhu family will not be so generous to teach the skills to the Zhen family, but it is enough to be able to train craftsmen, as for the special talents of shipbuilding, Fang Zhiwen can still search through various channels, as long as he finds a few, and then the master takes the apprentices, and slowly gets up, and in the future, he will establish a shipbuilding and navigation college in the harbor city to improve the navigation technology tree.
The waters of the Bohai Sea are a little muddy, not as dark blue as the open sea, but standing on the seaside, due to the curvature of the earth, this sea is still boundless and looks very vast.
"My lord! Looking at the sea again? ”
Fang Zhiwen didn't look back, reached out and rubbed Xue Ye's ears, Xue Ye snorted dissatisfiedly, his ears swayed sensitively, just didn't let Fang Zhiwen catch the blessings
"Zilong, this is not the sea, this is just a bay, on the opposite side, the place where you can't see is Qingzhou, and on the left is Liaodong County, hehe, I forgot, you have already seen it on the map of the General Staff."
Zhao Yun drove forward immediately, and Zhen Xiang left and right, Yuan Qing, the general who had just been promoted to replace Zhou Xing, consciously gave way to his position, and Zhao Yun smiled at him to express his gratitude.
"Lord, even this small bay is not fully utilized now, if it is really as the eldest lady said, there is a developed port and shipping industry, the business environment here will not be worse than Jiangdong, and the competition for maritime power should be laid out as soon as possible."
"Well, I can see that Lelang is a hand we stretch out to the sea, and with this place into the sea, we will not fall into the disadvantage in the competition for the ocean in the future."
"But my lord, Lelang is an enclave for us, in case Gongsun Chan attacks Lelang, isn't Lelang isolated?"
"Zilong is saying that Gongsun Chan gave up Yuyang and exchanged Lelang with us? Yuyang has a population of more than one million, is he really willing to do it? ”
"Once Lelang's status in the sea route is revealed, this possibility is still there, and Lelang will also develop, and may even become the second Miyun region under the rule of the lord, when the time comes, it will really be worth Gongsun Zhan's full attack."
"Hehe, haven't you seen the deduction of those little staff officers, once the population of the Lelang area exceeds one million and forms a city circle centered on two first-class cities, if you want to capture Lelang, the troops needed are hundreds of thousands of elite infantry, which will cost a lot of manpower and material resources, which is the so-called high cost of war. What's more, Lelang is not alone, and can take the sea route1
Zhao Yun smiled bitterly and shook his head, he naturally had also seen the deductions of those few little staff officers, although some were ridiculous, but some were also very instructive, Zhao Yun naturally understood the situation of Lelang, but Zhao Yun always felt that it was too strange for Fang Zhiwen to divide Youzhou so fragmented, which made the development and change of Youzhou in the future extremely complicated, what is the intention of the lord? Could this be what the lord said about making war the main theme?
Fang Zhiwen glanced at Zhao Yun, naturally knew what the question Zhao Yun didn't ask was, thought about it, and said with a smile: "The more complicated the situation in Youzhou, the less likely it is to form a big war, because they involve each other, it is very difficult to evaluate the battle, and in the future, the Inhuman forces will join in, and the situation will be more complicated. ”
Zhao Yun was stunned, and then his eyes darkened, and his ambition seemed to have become more distant. Zhen Xiang smashed his mouth, as if he wanted to taste something from Fang Zhiwen's words, but in the end he gave up, it seems that he is still only suitable to be a general of the guard, not a general
