Chapter 42 Nanye occupies Yizhou across the sea Yuan Shu fakes to call himself emperor 1

Zhang Xiu killed her aunt Zou before leading the crowd to kill Cao Jun. In Zhang Xiu's view, Cao escaped from the camp and could not escape the siege in all directions, and he was bound to die. As long as Cao Cao dies, Cao's army will collapse without fighting.

Zhang Xiu, who led the troops to rush to the left and right, was invincible for a while, and Cao's army was defeated one after another, which made Zhang Xiu more sure that Cao Cao was dead, and a long gun danced to kill everywhere.

While Zhang Xiu was killing, suddenly a man came and shouted first: "Zhang Xiu, don't be rampant, and take me a shot."

Zhang Xiu looked up and saw that it was Xia Houyuan, and he came to fight with a gun. After several rounds of fighting, Zhang Xiu knew that Xia Houyuan was powerful, but Zhang Xiu was not panicked, because he was in a chaotic army at this time, not a general in front of the battle. Zhang Xiu believed that as long as he dragged on for a while and waited for his subordinates to rush up, he would be able to surround Xiahou Yuan to death.

The two fought for more than a dozen rounds. Zhang Xiu only listened to the continuous shouting of killing around him, but did not see his own people gain an advantage. Zhang Xiu, who was strange in his heart, looked behind Xiahou Yuan and saw that Cao Cao's handsome flag was behind Xiahou Yuan, and it was Cao Cao under the handsome flag.

When Zhang Xiu saw that Cao Cao was still alive, he was immediately scared out of his wits. His people are not as many as Cao Cao. Only by catching the thief and killing Cao Cao first, causing chaos to Cao's army, can he win. At this time, Cao Cao did not die, but gathered troops and horses to kill back. Zhang Xiu knew that there was no chance to win. He shook his gun and pulled the horse and fled.

Cao Cao hated Zhang Xiu so much at this time. How could he escape? It attracted the pursuit of the whole army. Xiahou Yuan is also a master of using arrows. Brother Xiahou Dun was shot and injured. How can Xiahou Yuan stop? He bent his bow and arrow and shot at Zhang Xiu from behind.

Hu Cheer was protecting Zhang Xiu's side at this time. Hearing the strong wind blowing behind him, he didn't have time to call the feather arrow and directly drove the horse away Zhang Xiu. Xia Houyuan didn't hit Zhang Xiu with an arrow, but hit Hu Cheer's right shoulder. Although this arrow was not fatal, it also made Hu Cheer's right arm tremble.

At this time, Hu Cheer was riding on the horse, his right arm trembling, and the reins of the horse were strangled. The training of ancient war horses is very strict. Most of the war horses that can go into battle are not afraid of the sound of weapon collision, and they also have a certain patience for fire and smoke. Only such war horses can perfectly execute the master's instructions on the battlefield. Hu Cheer's horse was also well trained. As soon as the reins were pulled, it thought that the owner was letting him stop, so he braked sharply and stopped in place, which made Hu Cheer suffer.

Xiahouyuan was annoyed that Zhang Xiu didn't hit with an arrow. At this time, he was overjoyed to see Hu Cheer stop in place and stabbed him with a shot in front of him, so he picked Hu Cheer off the horse.

Although Hu Cheer died, it provided Zhang Xiu with an opportunity to escape and led the defeated army to retreat all the way. Cao Cao has been chasing and killing more than a hundred miles before returning to the army. Zhang Xiu was so weak that he had to lead the defeated soldiers to Liu Biao.

Cao Cao's defeat became a victory and retreat from Zhang Xiu. He got the three auxiliary places in Chang'an. On the one hand, he ordered people to take care of the people, on the other hand, arranged people and horses to guard the pass, and paid tribute to his eldest son and nephew, and then returned the soldiers.

While the princes of the Central Plains were conquering each other, Nan Ye was standing on the deck of a five-story building boat and going to Yizhou. Since Nanye got Jiaozhou, he has vigorously promoted the shipbuilding and navigation industry. After the navy led by Gan Ning and Yu Jin eliminated the pirates on Hainan Island, Nanye set up Zhuya County in Zhuya Prefecture and set up a naval base here. The Dart Bureau also set up a fleet to undertake maritime escort missions. In this way, even if many princes closed the darts bureau, they could not lay off many darts.

The huge benefits brought by the Maritime Silk Road and the protection of the Dart Bureau have made more Jiaozhou people devote themselves to the nautical business, transporting Jiaozhou specialties such as porcelain, paper, silk, books, wine and other things to Western countries, and bringing back a large number of spices, gold and local specialties, making Jiao The state is particularly prosperous and the maritime industry is extremely developed.

At this time, the largest warship built in Jiaozhou can carry 3,000 soldiers, with five floors and carved colorful paintings. It is very magnificent and has strong endurance. It looks like an attic and is called a building ship. What Nan Ye didn't expect was that the wisdom of the ancient ancestors could not be underestimated. The ship actually had eight decks, which could divide the hull into nine tight compartments.

With the shipbuilding technology of this compartment structure, even if one or two cabins are damaged, the water will not flow into other cabins, causing the ship to sink immediately. It can seize the time to pump water, plug loopholes and carry out other repairs without affecting the ship's continued navigation.

The wisdom of the ancients is extraordinary, but Nanye's insight spans thousands of years. He found that although this kind of big ship is already very powerful, it still has many defects compared with modern ships. Nan Ye used to play the glorious company's Romance of the Three Kingdoms series, and also played the Age of Navigation. He still has some understanding of the structure of ocean-going ships. At least Nanye knows that it is a pointed boat, not a flat boat, which is suitable for shipping, because a pointed boat is easier to resist wind and waves than a flat boat. Moreover, the most terrible thing at sea is not the wind and waves but the loss of direction.

In order to take Jiaozhou's shipbuilding and navigation technology to a higher level. Nan Ye told all the nautical knowledge he knew to the craftsmen in Jiaozhou Science Research Institute. Of course, Nanye did not guarantee that the craftsmen could successfully build a large ship suitable for ocean navigation, so he put forward the concept of shipbuilding model testing before starting construction. Craftsmen were also asked to develop supporting navigation equipment such as telescopes and sextants. Nowadays, Jiaozhou's navigation and shipbuilding industries have surpassed this era.

Of course, these advanced equipment are only equipped with the Jiaozhou Navy and have not yet reached the civilian level. After all, super-large sea boats and natural crystal polished telescopes are not what ordinary rich businessmen can consume.

After Nanye stabilized the southern part of Yangzhou, the first thing he thought of was to include Taiwan under his own rule. Taiwan, known as Yizhou in the Han Dynasty, belongs to the legendary overseas fairy island and has neither been developed nor emigrated. It is more suitable as a secret naval base than Hainan Island, because few people in this era know the location of Yizhou.

Others don't know the specific location of Yizhou, but Nanye is very clear. As long as he goes from the south of Huiji to the east and crosses the Taiwan Strait, he can easily reach Yizhou. This distance is not far from Jiaozhou to Zhuya County.

This time, Nanye sent troops to Yizhou with a total of five most advanced giant building ships and more than 20 supporting ships. Ten thousand soldiers, three thousand war horses, and thousands of sailors, doctors, craftsmen, scholars and handymen.

Nanye, holding a telescope, saw a piece of land emerging from the sea from afar at the end of the sea level, and countless seabirds circled around the land. He handed the telescope in his hand to Ma Yunqi beside him and said, "Look, that's Yizhou."
