Chapter 134 Traveling to the Danjiang River to know the great cause, building a water army to seek the Yangtze River

"Since you've just come here, let me familiarize you with the situation here. ”

Seeing that the two of them looked nervous, Kang Lu slowed down his tone, stood up from his chair, and led the two out of the office.

The garrison of the Junju Navy consisted of two small islands, which surrounded each other, leaving only a narrow opening for warships to enter and exit.

Therefore, the Huaxia army carved out a flat bottom on this small island, built many houses for the Junzhou navy to live in, and used the island's rocks to build a dock on the coast, which was enough to accommodate hundreds of warships.

Walking on this station, Zhang Gui looked at the scene here, and couldn't help but be amazed: "More than ten years ago, I once visited here, and at that time it was not so big, only a small river, how did you do it?"

"Haha. Relying on that dam, of course, how else would we be able to store so much water?" Kang Lu pointed to the dam in the distance, his voice full of provocation.

Zhang Shun looked along his finger and suddenly saw that in the distance of the lake, a silver-white dam stretched across the mountains, directly cutting off the entire lake.

"Oh, that's the Danjiangkou Dam?"

"That's right. It is also thanks to this Danjiangkou Dam, and the floods that often occurred in the past have not appeared. ”

Kang Lu said with a smile, and then took the two of them onto a warship, and said, "If the two of you are interested, why don't you come with me to take a look?"

"It's nature. ”

Zhang Shun and Zhang Gui followed together on the "Huang Hao" battleship, and with a sound of "woo!", the whistle made a screeching sound, carrying several people towards the dam together.

At this moment, a sharp voice sounded in the distance, as if it was catering to the "Huang Hao" battleship, and several people stared at it, and immediately saw a pitch-black train coming out of the mountains.

"That's the train?"

Zhang Gui was extremely surprised, and looked at the train with his eyes.

Regarding this train and the Danjiangkou Dam, he also heard the merchants in Xiangyang City say many times, but for various reasons, he has never seen it, and now he has taken refuge in the Junzhou Naval Army, and he has only seen the real thing.

And this momentum is far more exciting than what those people say.

"Of course. ”

Although he was used to seeing it for a long time, Kang Lu couldn't hide his joy in his heart, and said with a smile: "If it weren't for this railway, how could Junzhou develop to this point?"

It has a permanent population of more than 300,000, a number that few people in Kannai can reach.

"I have heard that the strength of the Huaxia Army is extraordinary, and it is really worthy of its reputation to be able to create this kind of thing. Zhang Shun was secretly frightened, and he was even more determined to join the Huaxia Army.

Those who dare to fight with the sky, how can they be afraid of Mongolia?

As he was talking, the battleship "Huang Hao" was also about to approach the dam, and when they were leaning on, they noticed that the width of the dam was more than three zhang, and the entire dam body showed a narrow way at the top and wide at the bottom, like a mountain peak, blocking the water body dozens of meters high, so that it could not be submerged downstream.

Such a majestic building had no less impact on the two of them than the battleship "Huang Hao".

"How did you make this thing?"

Zhang Gui looked at Kang Lu with complicated eyes, feeling that these people were quite incredible, and he didn't know how they did it.

Kang Lu smiled: "Of course it's relying on cement." How would I have been able to make this thing if it hadn't been for it? But I'm not in charge of it, so I don't know. But you just need to know that the dam is safe. ”

"Maybe. ”

Despite this, Zhang Shun was still full of doubts and asked, "General Kang, why do you want to establish a naval army here?"

"Why? What do you think this is for?"

The corners of Kang Lu's mouth curled slightly, and he asked rhetorically: "After all, the waters of the Danjiang River are not large, although the water area has been raised by building the Danjiangkou Dam, it cannot accommodate more merchant ships, and there is also a railway. If you want to build a water army, there is no need at all. Isn't it?"

"That's right. So I'm curious, why do you want to establish such a water army?" Zhang Shun couldn't hide the doubts in his heart and continued to ask.

Kanglu smiled: "Very good." Can you tell me how the Song Dynasty resisted the Mongols? You also know that the Song Dynasty was not able to fight on foot, and whenever it confronted the Mongols, it could not resist the Mongol attack. But why did the Song Dynasty block the Mongol attack again and again? Aren't you curious about this?"

"This, isn't it a water army?" Zhang Shun's mind lit up, and he hurriedly asked.

"That's right, it's the trolls. ”

"As you know, the Mongols live in the northland steppes for a long time, and what they are best at is the art of arching horses. Therefore, if there is a strongman who integrates the entire grassland, he can carry hundreds of thousands of cavalry south, and even the Han and Tang dynasties will be difficult to fight. If it encounters the weakening of the Han Dynasty, it will cause chaos in the five chaos. Isn't it?"

"That's right. But what does this have to do with the trolls?" Zhang Shun was still confused, not understanding the reason.

Kang Lu smiled: "Of course it matters. The Mongols are indeed proficient in the art of archery and horsemanship, but you think, the steppe is boundless, but where is the water like the south of the Yangtze River? Just as the so-called water and soil on one side raise the other people, how can the Mongols be as good at water warfare as the people of the south of our country? It is precisely for this reason that if the Mongols come to the south, they will be trapped in these rivers, and even if they defeat us on land, they will not be able to cross the waterways and continue to attack. ”

"That's why the Great Song Dynasty raised a naval army, hoping to use the Yangtze River as the boundary to resist Mongolia?"

In addition, the convenience of water transportation is also more convenient than land transportation, which can transport a large amount of grain at one time, and the Song Dynasty can naturally rely on water transportation to continuously deliver grain to frontier cities such as Xiangyang and Xuzhou to ensure safety.

Kang Lu closed his head and replied, "That's right. Therefore, in order to be able to resist the Mongol invasion, I have to vigorously build a naval army. Speaking of this, Kang Lu couldn't help but feel a little regretful, and complained: "It's a pity, this Danjiang dam is too narrow after all, if it can be on the Yangtze River, these warships can show their power." ”

Now that they have entered the Junzhou Water Division, Zhang Shun and Zhang Gui began to train from the bottom.

However, the two of them already have a certain strength, so they were promoted quickly, and they became captains after only half a year. "That's why the Great Song Dynasty raised a naval army, hoping to use the Yangtze River as the boundary to resist Mongolia?"
