Chapter 804 Treasure Island
Zhuge Liang left, and Yangzhou had already formed a system. He was already a huge Guo family machine, and he was not just a person to control the overall situation.
So Zhuge Liang, the Minister of Justice, left. The entire big machine of the Ministry of Justice was working. The only bad thing was that Xu Shu, the internal minister, needed a little hard work.
The rice in Yangzhou has begun to be harvested. It is growing well. Looking at the blue and yellow patch, Liu Mang suddenly felt a feeling of satisfaction.
"Report!" Liu Mang was going to learn about the harvest of these rice grains in the countryside. An eunuch from the palace ran over and knelt in front of Liu Mang.
"Report to the lord. Lord Liu Neng asks for a meeting!" The eunuch knelt in front of Liu Mang and said to Liu Mang.
"Liu Neng!?" If you don't mention this person, Liu Mang might have really forgotten that this person is his old group of subordinates. It can be said that they were Liu Mang's earliest team.
Liu Neng has followed Liu Mang since Wan City. Wan City defended the city and fought. It can be said that they were still people who lived and died together. Although the Liu family represented by Liu Neng wanted to speculate and wanted to gain wealth in chaos, Liu Mang had to admit that if it were not for Liu Neng and others, Liu Mang would not have lived now, and would have been given a title by Sun Ce long ago.
Liu Neng and his son were old gentry in Lujiang and also a royal family member of the Han Dynasty. If Liu Neng hadn't had enough ability, Liu Mang might have let him be one of the six ministers of the ministers.
Liu Neng seemed to know that he was not capable enough and did not make trouble with Liu Mang. If it really started, Liu Mang would be embarrassed. After all, he was an old man from the Yangzhou Army.
It is precisely because Liu Neng did not make a fuss that Liu Mang felt even more guilty towards him. He gave Liu Neng a title of Marquis and also gave the Liu family a lot of rewards. It can be said that as long as the Liu family did not do anything to be sorry for Liu Mang, Liu Mang could guarantee the glory and wealth of the Liu family for the rest of their lives.
But Liu Neng is not a person who is old. Although he has no ability, he has great ambitions. He wants to be a minister, and he wants to rely on his ability to break into the next force.
He was not familiar with the streets among the six ministries. If he was fighting, his martial arts were not even third-rate. It really made Liu Mang embarrassed, so he could only find a master for Liu Neng first. This master was still an acquaintance, and that was our Pang Degong.
After studying with Pang Degong for several months, Liu Neng's foundation was there. After he returned to Yangzhou, Liu Mang should have given him an official position, at least the prefect, and let him govern the country.
But Liu Neng chose a position, that is, the Observer.
The Great Han Observer said that Liu Mang himself made the appearance of this official position. After taking over Jiangdong, several more shipyards were found in Yangzhou. Although the small shipyards in Jiangdong were useless, the Yangzhou army looked down on those small and dozens of tons of warships. However, there were good places to build shipyards in those places.
With a shipyard, are there fewer sea ships? In addition to teaching the Yangzhou Navy of Ganning over there, there are also great men like Liu Neng.
Our Liu Neng Tongshao has three warships in the monarchy class. After the difficulties, they are those Garen ships. It is very good to transform these small ships into supply ships and near-shore warships.
The direction Liu Neng observed was to follow the east coast of Jiangdong. If you want to be more accurate, you would go to places like Baodao. If you travel on the sea, it is normal for you to not come back for half a year. When Liu Neng came back and even reported to him, it means there must be news.
"Liu Neng?" There were a few people next to me who really didn't know who Liu Neng was.
Liu Mang could only explain it again.
"Let's go! Get off and go back to the palace immediately!" The other officials next to him did not understand the importance of such an observation, and they were all very strange. Even when Ganning's Yangzhou Navy came back, he had never seen his lord be so active.
But no matter how much the officials went back, they still drove back.
Liu Mang returned to the palace, and didn't even care about washing up and went straight to the main hall.
"Where is Liu Neng, where is Liu Neng?" Liu Mang shouted in great enthusiasm, but he did not see Liu Neng.
Ask the guards beside him.
The guard then explained that Liu Mang, the lord, was not here, who dared to wait in the main hall? Isn’t that a cross?
Generally, ministers ask to see the master and need to wait in the side hall. Only when the lord Liu Mang is summoned can they enter the hall.
"Hurry up, hurry up!" Liu Mang waved his hand and said.
Soon, Liu Neng was brought up by Yu Linwei.
"My Lord Liu Neng, the master of the Han Dynasty, has seen his lord!" A man who was so dark and ruthlessly knelt down and bowed down after seeing Liu Mang.
"Liu Neng?" Liu Mang was a little unbelievable when he saw this African brother. You must know that Liu Neng was also a handsome young man at the beginning, but now he has become this kind of virtue.
"It's the empress!" Liu Neng lowered his head deeper. He was very respectful to his lord Liu Mang, who was sitting in the main seat. It can be said that the rise of the Yangzhou army was watched step by step. From the beginning, he didn't even have a city like a dog in a family. He just wanted to leave the Central Plains and stay away from Cao Cao's pursuit. Later, he occupied Lujiang and took the lead in repelling the 100,000 troops in Jiangdong one by one, and then destroyed Liu Da'er, Zhang Xiu and the Jingzhou coalition. It can be said that the development of Yangzhou is a miracle.
This lord also made Liu Neng look at him with admiration.
The reason why Liu Neng joined Liu Mang's army in the past was not that Liu Mang was a wise monarch, but that their Liu family could not survive in Anhui City. It was a little miserable by the gentry from Jiangdong there. If this continues, the Liu family will be devastated, so Liu Neng chose Liu Mang for no means of survival.
At that time, Liu Neng chose Liu Mang to be allowed to hit the mouse with a blind cat. At worst, he would die. He was not optimistic about Liu Mang.
But what we didn't expect was that our Liu Mang children's shoes rose step by step. Their Liu family naturally also rose. From being suppressed by the Jiangdong gentry, it became the popular Yangzhou Liu family.
Some people even speculate whether the Liu family in Yangzhou would be Liu Mang’s former aristocratic family.
"Why did you become like this?" Liu Mang said it without thinking. This was because he and Liu Neng were familiar with each other. The two had not met like this for a long time. At the beginning, they lived and died together, so they naturally became happy when they met.
Xu Shu, who was next to him, coughed and asked Liu Mang to pay attention to etiquette. One of your lords asked his subordinates why you are ugly. Is this appropriate?
However, Liu Neng below obviously didn't care, but smiled bitterly and said to Liu Mang, "Lord, I've been on the sea for a long time, and the sea breeze blows!" The sea is not as good as land. Even the Yangzhou monarch-class warships that were first built, the conditions above are very difficult.
It is common for wind and rain to be exposed. The sun is just like a glorious person. Only when the sun is not tanned will there be ghosts. Therefore, people who drive above the sea have rough skin.
In the past, Liu Neng was a young master Jia, and he was not as handsome as Liu Mang, but now he has become an African friend.
"How is it? Is there news from Baodao?" Liu Mang asked Liu Neng over there. Since Liu Neng is back, there must be news.
Liu Mang was looking for the existence of the treasure island in his previous life. According to historical books, the Lord Wu Sun Xiaoquan, once sent general Wei Wen and Zhuge Zhi to lead 10,000 naval troops across the sea to Taiwan. This was the beginning of the first discovery of Taiwan.
Since even the ragged naval army under Sun Xiaoquan could find Taiwan, it would be unreasonable that Liu Mang would not be able to find it.
Liu Mang knew that this treasure island was full of treasures, and the geographical area was quite large.
Several excellent ports were also on it. If he was taken down and developed, it would really be a broadening of the territory for the Han Dynasty.
Liu Neng nodded first, then shook his head again.
It made Liu Mang dizzy.
Has this been found or not? What rhythm?
"Lord, we have found this treasure island!" Liu Neng spoke to Liu Mang over there. However, there were no good ports such as Jirong, Kaohsiung, Taichung, which the lord said! "Liu Neng went to Bao Island as Liu Mang ordered.
Yes, he really discovered the treasure island. You must know that the monarchy in their hands was originally designed to be ocean-going, and it is naturally a waste of money to search for an island near the sea.
However, after Liu Neng approached the treasure island, he discovered a very serious problem, that is, there is no port, and his monarchy level is 1,000 tons, even if it is parked near Yangzhou, it is also a special port, otherwise he would not be able to let go at all.
There was no trace of artificial trace of this treasure island, which shocked Liu Neng. There were many reefs there, and Liu Neng didn't dare to get close to him. If one of them was not good, he would have stranded the monarchy level and the fun would be great. A monarchy level would be hundreds of thousands of gold.
The cannons above are even more expensive. If a military-level ship is destroyed, he, Liu Neng, will not refuse even if he dies.
Fortunately, he also had those small Garen ships under him.
Liu Neng sent the Garen ship out, but these small boats did not come back immediately after they left. Two days later, one of these Garen ships came back, and the ship brought a ship of panic crew.
They met the indigenous people on this treasure island. They could not speak and were unfamiliar with the treasure island. There was a conflict between the two sides, and thousands of indigenous people suddenly emerged.
Their crew members are well equipped, but they can't withstand the many natives.
This Garen ship finally escaped.
"There is no port, native?" Liu Mang was a little stunned. He was still thinking of taking down the treasure island and using the resources ordered on the treasure island. Now Liu Neng here has given him a blow.
The treasure island was found, but there are still ports on the natives above.
Liu Mang was different. How did Sun Xiaoquan find this treasure island? It was after the theater made a mistake and then discovered that their ships were not big ships of the monarchy, but those small sea boats. Liu Mang also saw these small sea boats. Sun Ce used him to go to Liaodong to trade war horses with Gongsun Du.
Those small sea boats only cost more than one hundred times, and the water was very shallow, and he could enter the natural port with a little view. As for those reefs and reefs, they were all at a depth of seven or eight meters. What is it related to him?
So he went in without any artificial port.
Another point is how many people did our little lord bring? A total of ten thousand naval troops. Don’t underestimate these troops. Liu Bei and Liu Da’er didn’t have so much capital when fighting the Battle of Red Cliff. What’s more, the Jiangdong Army, which became famous as the navy!
After these ten thousand navy troops landed in Jirong, the natives really had no choice.
If you want to fight, I have a 10,000 army. Those natives, the largest tribe, are only two or three thousand people. As for large-scale combat? Haha, the Jiangdong Army is an expert in war. If you arrange troops, can your local natives beat those generals who have fought for so many years?
In addition, after Sun Xiaoquan went up, he exchanged goods for goods, and those natives drifted from the sea to the mainland. Those natives integrated into the mainland, and the language of the mainland and the language of the natives. Only with this communication can the treasure island be included in the land of Jiangdong. That's it, Sun Xiaoquanquan didn't spend much effort to develop him.
"Lord, that treasure island is big, but it's a wilderness. How can it be hard to do it?" Liu Neng from there gave Liu Mang advice, such a huge island, but it is full of lush forests.
There are very few places that can truly adapt to the residence of Han people.
If I really immigrated, it would not be a day or two. It was thankless. Now it was time to defeat Cao Cao, and the whole world was his. Why do I need such a broken island?
"You don't understand~" Liu Mang shook his head. This island was originally from their China, so Liu Mang had to take him down. Besides, the land of China is not enough. What Liu Mang wants is the entire Chinese clan to cultivate deeply above the world. This world is not the Jiuzhou of the Han Dynasty, but the five continents of the world.
The treasure island was just a small step, laying the foundation for future colonization.
"Liu Neng, I'll give you five thousand, no, eight thousand elite navy troops. You can go to the navy to allocate, and even let Gan Ning directly assist you. I will see our city in the treasure island in half a year~!" Liu Mang gave an order to Liu Neng over there.
He was not overdoing it. He built the first city on the treasure island. This city can be a border fortress, but it must be built on the treasure island there. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
