Chapter 105

Transportation capacity has always been a big problem. For example, Liu Yan wants to go to Koguryo, and then various families buy materials from the Han Dynasty. In fact, there are transportation capacity restrictions.

Hanbu can promise a large amount of orders, because the larger the order, the more impossible it is to complete the transaction in a short time, and it needs to be carried out in batches.

in batches? Liu Yan should consider looking for a place in Liaodong Peninsula as a stronghold and send people up in batches.

Before he fell into civil strife, houzhao was better than Yao Gezhong, the head of Qiang nationality, and Fu Hong, the head of Di nationality. What's more, Liu Yan, who lives in Changguang County of Qingzhou?

Liu Yan probably remembers that Hou Zhao will collapse in a few years, but he really doesn't know the specific years. After all, he can't surf the Internet now. Can he Baidu all the time?

It is impossible to seize a state on houzhao's territory, at least when houzhao did not fall into civil strife. It is estimated that it is the limit to occupy a county?

Shen Zhong, who had already set foot on his return journey, dialed Liu Yan in an obscure place. The imperial court allowed the following tribes to fight each other in order to ensure the leadership of the Jie nationality and allow expansion to have restrictions. Once the bottom line of the imperial court was broken, it would be a situation under the pressure of the army.

In the "Castle Age", if the population limit is 10000 or 1000, Liu Yan naturally doesn't have to care so much. As long as he has resources, he can produce enough mounted cavalry. At that time, the big deal is to fight a war of consumption. It's not certain who will die.

The problem is that Liu Yan's current system is not the "Castle Age". What can be consumed is 1000... Oh, no, farmers and fishing boats leave another 50 places, and only 600 system soldiers can be consumed.

In thousands of battles, 600 soldiers are absolutely effective. In particular, they can add another one in up to three hours. Instead of repeatedly fighting and consuming, Liu Yan never felt that he would lose. However, will Zhao dispatch thousands at a time? As long as there is a regular army of 50000, Liu Yan won't even consider fighting. It's time to take people directly to the ship and go to sea. Don't mention that houzhao himself has two absolutely elite, and can summon hundreds of thousands of affiliated armed forces at any time.

When it comes to the armed forces that can be called at any time, Liu Yan has his own experience. He became a sheriff and issued a "food order" under the authority of the later Zhao court. As time goes by, more and more people respond to the call. The day before yesterday, he asked about the quantity, but it was nearly 20000!

Twenty thousand! That's Changguang county. How many counties are there in houzhao? It is absolutely easy for Shihu to summon a million mobs at his command, but there is not enough food to feed.

"Build a big ship?" Tian Shuo carefully looked at Liu Yan and said, "Sir, this... It's natural to build a small boat. However, the big boat... Not only has no relevant wood, but also the craftsman..."

By the way, now even if there are relevant talents who can build ships, basically most of them can build inland ships, and there are basically no people who can build sea ships, at least not in the Central Plains!

To tell the truth, I'm not kidding. There are two major water systems in China, one is the Yellow River and the other is the Yangtze River. Even if there is a water war, it is basically carried out around the Yellow River or the Yangtze River. Because there is no threat from overseas, who will study seagoing ships in the ancient pre-Qin, Han and present?

Liu Yan knows something about the structure of seagoing ships, that is, inland ships are basically flat bottomed, while seagoing ships need round bilge. He had a group of craftsmen, but the number was very small. Under the leadership of a few craftsmen who could build inland ships, they had tried to build sea ships for nearly a year.

A trial type has been produced, with a length of 30 meters, a width of 8 meters, a draft of 3 meters and a carrying capacity of 280 tons. Well, it's actually Kirk sailing, the most active ship in the 14th century. Just don't ask why Liu Yan knows how to draw a blueprint. Everyone will have some different interests. But he knows the blueprint of such a ship.

By the way, when it comes to creation, Liu Yan also has a big killer, that is gunpowder. In fact, as long as modern people are interested, they can know what the gunpowder formula is by checking it a little, but Liu Yan will not let it come out at all now, just as he knows the importance of stirrups and horseshoes, but he would rather not be able to form cavalry under his hand than let stirrups and horseshoes appear in advance!

Do you know what happens with stirrups and horseshoes? Although Liu Yan can quickly train a group of quick cavalry, the number of dead will not exceed 5000. How many Hu people are there in the Central Plains? How many Hu people are there in northern Tibet? How many Hu people are there in the East and north of Liaoning? Liu Yan made stirrups and horseshoes. Believe it or not, even with the golden finger of the system, it will be crushed into slag by the endless cavalry of the Hu people?

Many scientific and technological creations can never be created at any time, or they will have advantages at the moment of creation, but it always depends on the comparison of their own strength with others?

"Try to find it!" Liu Yan's face was firm: "it's not just looking for it yourself. Launch it to see if you can find the source of the goods."

Tian Shuo is naturally submissive. He knows the importance of ships very well. If there are enough ships, or bigger and better ships, the Han will be stronger and bigger.

Shipbuilding needs wood, a lot of wood, and not all wood is suitable for shipbuilding. It needs the right type, and what's more, it needs to be thick enough! Especially the keel! The bigger the ship, the bigger the whole piece of wood needed for the keel! Splicing? Liu Yan said no, let alone the accident that the keel of a seagoing ship burst in the sea one day. He sank to the bottom of the sea to see if there was a dragon palace.

There are no giant trees in Qingzhou. It can even be said that the Central Plains has been developed too long and thoroughly. There are really few towering giant trees. If you want to be a real giant wood, first, go to 100000 mountains in Qinling, second, go to Shuzhong, and third, Liaodong. Anyway, there is absolutely no such thing as Qingzhou.

At present, it is very difficult to build Kirk sailboats, mainly due to the materials, not only the appropriate keel, but also the sail.

Of course, Liu Yan's will to develop seagoing ships is very firm. After some detailed thinking, he can't fight in houzhao. Can he try other places?

Jin? Liu Yan can't challenge Hou Zhao. I'm afraid... He will be drowned by the crowd when he lands in Jin from the coast and lays down a state in Jin.

Liaodong? Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated, but it is more difficult to fight Youzhou than to fight Qingzhou. That needs to face the rising Murong Xianbei!

"Huh? Koguryo?" When tuobaxiu was called by Liu Yan, he was stunned when Liu Yan finished saying: "know some. Now it's Gauss you, also known as Gao Liu or Gao Zhao. It's the 16th king of Koguryo. But... Other knowledge is limited."

Liu Yan was a little sorry. He thought Xianbei of all ethnic groups had been active in Eastern Liaoning. How should he know his old neighbor? He didn't want to tuobaxiu, but he didn't know.

"If the husband wants to know Koguryo, he can ask the brother of the slave." Tuobaxiu blinked and looked like he was wholeheartedly considering the interests of the Han Dynasty: "you can even turn to the brother of the slave to buy prisoners from Koguryo from the state of Yan."

It's a train of thought. Qian Yan fought with Hou Zhao for a while. Although Qian Yan won, the Murong family obviously found that they suffered a loss in the war of consumption with Hou Zhao. Qianyan, who drew back his troops and front, planned to sort out Liaodong, and even another great expedition against Yuwen Xianbei. A series of things were planned.

Well, Liu Yan thought Yuwen Xianbei should have been destroyed. Unexpectedly, Yuwen Xianbei was still alive, but it was true that Yuwen Xianbei had fallen into an extremely weak state last time when Murong Xianbei and Tuoba Xianbei United.

"You can buy war slaves from Yuwen Xianbei." Tuoba show has been emphasizing one point: "we need cavalry, very, very many cavalry!"

Tuobaxiu thinks it's ridiculous that a tribe has no cavalry. A tribe with a population of 50000 or 60000, such as the Han Dynasty, even wants cavalry and needs to summon miscellaneous Hu? Is there such a tribe!

Liu Yan nodded, but his mind was very floating... Very floating... He must know Koguryo. They need to stop in houzhao. They can only find new places to deal with farming and military training.

There won't be many seagoing ships this year or next year, but after three years, can you go to Koguryo and have fun?

"I've heard that since the Han Dynasty, a considerable number of people from the Central Plains or coastal areas have gone to Koguryo to avoid war?" Liu Yan was not asking tuobaxiu. He touched his chin and thought: "after reading some documents, Li Zhi took back many cultural relics and bamboo slips of Shang, Zhou and Han Dynasties from Koguryo, and even some lost skills?"
