Chapter 352 [Jianwu No.]

It is not easy to build a bridge on the Yellow River. It takes several years of exploration, then design, and finally construction. Once there is a problem in a certain link, don't think about it. The impact of the Yellow River will be directly destroyed.

Luo Chengxian deeply understands that once the Yellow River Bridge he built can't withstand the impact of the Yellow River, he, the director of the Railway Department, is estimated to have done it. Maybe he will also involve his family, and he will become a bad guy in the eyes of others in the future, and he will never be able to raise his head in front of others.

Luo Chengxian was very cautious. He gathered many craftsmen in the Science and Technology Park to explore the Yellow River and find a suitable place to build the bridge. At the same time, he also specially asked many people to design the Yellow River Bridge.

There has never been such a huge bridge built in ancient times, and everyone seems to be at a loss. For this reason, Luo Chengxian built a small bridge first, and then gradually increased to increase experience. For this reason, many new bridges have appeared on the rivers around Luoyang, which is a good thing for the local people.

"Your Majesty, we still need a large number of craftsmen. The Yellow River Bridge is difficult to build. I have mobilized 80% of the craftsmen in the Academy of Science and Technology, but these craftsmen still can't meet the demand. The construction of the Yellow River Bridge is different from that of other rivers. The Yellow River has a lot of sediment, and there is more silt in the river than other rivers. It is very difficult to stabilize the foundation. So my lord, I'm afraid it will take us several years to build this bridge. Luo Chengxian promised that Liu Xia could build it well without thinking.

"I have never built such a big bridge, so I am accumulating experience. Please give us time. We will definitely build a strong and durable bridge for you."

Liu Xia naturally knew the difficulty of building the Yellow River Bridge. He nodded and said, "I also understand what you said. Well, what kind of craftsman do you need, as much as possible, and the Yellow River Bridge must be built. I will give you enough time to try. Start with the small bridge and then slowly build it.

"Although the Yellow River looks more muddy than other rivers, I believe that your Institute of Science and Technology will be able to solve this problem."

Under the appeasement of Liu Xia, Luo Chengxian finally had some confidence.

Luo Chengxian was sent away, and Liu Xia listened to the report about the navy. After these days, Jiaozhou Shipyard requisitioned a large number of personnel and worked overtime to start building treasure ships. Two ships have been launched now.

According to the opportunity, ten ships will be built. Once the treasure ship is built, it is time to launch a general attack on the Qing army.

"The speed of the construction of the treasure ship still needs to be accelerated. We don't have so much spare time. Once the northern tartar regains its vitality, it will not be so easy if we want to annihilate it again. At the same time, Zhang Yuan, the commander of the White Tiger Legion, let the soldiers keep trying to move on the deck to ensure that the soldiers can adapt to life on the ship.

As a vanguard legion, the White Tiger Legion must need the transportation of ships to enter Liaodong from the Bohai Sea. If the soldiers get seasick on the ship and the combat effectiveness is low, it is really fatal. What's more, maybe there may be a large number of enemies in the place where they get off the ship, so we must ensure that they can fight at all times. The fighting soldiers exist.

"Let Yu Mingjun strengthen the training of the navy. In addition, we can send several warships to the Songjiang River and enter the Yangtze River. Now the north of the Yangtze River is under our control, and we are not afraid of Wu Sangui's sneak attack. If you meet Wu Sangui's water army, destroy it as much as possible. If even Wu Sangui's water army can't be solved, then there is no need for this water army to exist.

It is true that the water army has poured a lot of energy and money into Liu Xia. It has been several years. If even Wu Sangui's third-rate miscellaneous sailors can't handle it, it will basically have no meaning to exist.

Wu Sangui can't be called a water army at all. He has no technical content at all. I can only bully the Kui Wolf Legion, which doesn't even have a boat.

Then Liu Xia told Ma Peng of the Kuilang Legion, letting him know in advance that the navy would send two warships to support them.

After Ma Peng got the news, he immediately summoned his generals and assigned them tasks. Once the naval warships arrived and destroyed Wu Sangui's navy, they would not have to worry about being attacked when crossing the Yangtze River.

"Cander, is this navy reliable? What can the two warships do? Wu Sangui's warships are more than 20 anyway. Even if the warships are made of iron, they are unlikely to compete with Wu Sangui's navy.

I only heard another general say, "I can't say that the warship used by Wu Sangui's navy actually doesn't need to be as big as a fishing boat, but their people and horses are good at water, and they are not afraid of bumps when fighting on the river. I heard that our warships are all very large, and they are equipped with shells on them. They want to take Wu San. The annihilation of the Guishui army is simply easy.

Then in the conference room, the generals began to mess up. But anyway, it's sure to welcome the arrival of the warship.

Ma Peng said, "Once the warship comes, it is bound to need a water fortress, otherwise there will be no place for the warship. Mu Ming, you will lead the Sirius Guard soldiers to find a few more craftsmen to find a suitable place to build a water village.

Since Lei Ming left Sirius Guard, Mu Ming has been the commander of Sirius Guard. Now most of the commanders of the main guard brigade of the Kuilang Legion are guarding along the Yangtze River with Ma Peng. In order to prevent Wu Sangui's navy from suddenly attacking Jiangbei, Ma Peng did not dare to be careless for a moment.

Yu Mingjun in Jiaozhou got the transfer order from Liu Xia and quickly called a meeting to discuss the candidates to go this time. Yu Mingjun knew that this time to deal with Wu Sangui was Liu Xia's test for them. If the test could not be completed, their status of the navy would plummet, even if Liu Xia did not cancel the navy. If he exists, he will not be able to meet Mingjun, the governor of the water army.

"According to the prince's request, the prince asked us to send two warships. A few days ago, the shipyard delivered a new ironclad ship to us. The general intends to send this ironclad ship. In addition, send another conventional wooden sailboat [Jiaozhou].

The new warship delivered to Yu Mingjun is smaller than the last [Zhenyuan], but it is also 40 to 50 meters long. It is also driven by a steam engine. There are artillery on both sides of the hull, which is extremely powerful. This warship does not have a name at present, but Yu Mingjun has figured out a name for him, and the name [Jianwu] has been given to Liu Xia. After waiting for Liu Xia's approval, it can be used.

[Jianwu] warships can be equipped with troops in a battalion. The level is regimental, and the last [Zhenyuan] is guard.

The key is to choose a good man. The ship has been selected, and then we will start to choose a man. As the commander-in-chief of the North Sea Fleet of the navy, the White Dream Tiger naturally cannot go forward, so the task needs to be handed over to the White Shark Guard. The White Shark Guard is the most powerful army in the navy.

"Li Dabai, the deputy commander of the White Shark Guard, served as the ship commander of the [Jianwu] and led the soldiers and horses of the Second White Shark Guard to the Yangtze River. Be sure to show the prestige of our navy." Yu Mingjun finally handed this military order to the deputy commander of the White Shark Guard. The level of the deputy commander was just regimental, which coincided with the [Jianwu].

"Everyone is watching our battle against Wu Sangui's navy. We can only win but not lose. Once we are defeated, we will be greeted by the disgust and ridicule of countless people and the loss of the support of the prince. This battle is our first real action against the enemy. Yu Mingjun is right. Although the White Shark Guard has also wiped out many pirates before, those are not regular troops, and no one cares about a pirate.

But this time it is different. This is Wu Sangui's regular army, which can defeat Wu Sangui's regular army. The name of their navy will certainly be on the front pages of major newspapers, thus causing greater influence among the people. At that time, when you meet Mingjun, you will ask Liu Xia for the military expenses of the water army, and you don't have to be despised by those armies in private.

The most uncomfortable thing about Yu Mingjun is the contempt of the army. He has been so insulted by Yu Mingjun. Although no one dares to talk about it in front of him, he is already very unhappy.
