"Come on." At this time, the warship of the Chu State Navy quickly rushed to the place where the battle took place.

"Let go." A Chu State Navy gunner shouted loudly.

"Boom. Boom, boom, boom." Chu's navy immediately bombarded the opponent with the artillery on board.Continuous artillery firing directly bombarded the opponent's unsinkable warships.

"Boom." A shell directly hit a large warship of Chu's aristocratic navy.The shell hit the opponent's vital point accurately, and the shell directly hit the opponent's gunpowder magazine.

"Boom." There was a huge explosion, and the ignited gunpowder exploded directly.The explosion blasted the entire large warship into pieces.Cannons, barrels, pieces of meat fried to pieces.There are also burning blocks of wood falling into the water.

"Fires everywhere, explosions everywhere. I saw noble navy sailors on a warship burning with fire and falling into the water. On the ship, there were sailors struggling everywhere with flames all over their bodies. They were everywhere. It's all fire, they yelled ah ah ah, then struggled and waved their arms. Then the fire on their bodies ignited everywhere they went. And then ignited everything that could burn." An old Chu State sailor Recall the situation.

"We were also very scared," recalls the veteran.

"The situation at the time was very chaotic. It was also complicated. A few of our companions and I made a cannon. The gunner kept shouting loudly, and then we moved towards those burning or intact ones at the fastest speed. The warship fired shells, and we loaded the shells like crazy. Then we fired them quickly. Solid shells, grenades, scattered shells. In short, we fired a lot of shells, and we fired them endlessly. We sent ships that we could see clearly All sunk.

"The warships of those nobles continued to explode violently. I know that our shells hit the powder keg. Unfortunately, the other party's personnel were blown to pieces. I have seen it before. The aristocratic sailors who were on fire were blown into pieces, and the burning guns flew everywhere, tearing people into pieces in an instant." The veteran recalled.

"There are also all kinds of floating objects floating on the river surface. There are dead people, living people, and burning things. In short, there are many. I don't know what there are." The veteran recalled.

"That night, it was chaotic. No one knew what happened. But we knew that as long as we kept firing, we would be able to defeat the opponent." The veteran said.

"In fact, it is true. On that day, we sank almost all the warships of the noble navy, almost all of them, and our losses were not too much. Those who dived and planted bombs died a lot. At that time, the surface combat It was extremely tragic. Some of the sailors were killed by placing explosives before they could retreat, and some of them were killed in the water by our warships when they returned, or were killed by shells or guns. Bad sailors, on the deck, frantically shot and killed living targets in the river, regardless of the situation of the enemy or ourselves, and killed those people." The veteran said.

"It was tragic, it was messy. We didn't know what happened at the time. Really." The veteran said.

The old soldier was telling the truth. No one could explain clearly what happened in the battle that night.The scene was quite chaotic.There were warships everywhere, and that night, Chu's navy fought their own boats, and the two sides were completely melee.sometimes.The gunners themselves didn't know whose ship was on the other side. In desperation, they could only fire randomly, and as a result, they hit themselves.Fortunately, this kind of thing happened by accident.As more and more warships burned, with the help of these fires, the warships of the Chu State Navy slowly ended the chaotic situation and gradually entered the state of battle. They quickly sank those warships. Large warships, and then slowly destroy all resisting warships.

Finally, when it was just dawn.The battle on the river is over.Just an hour before the battle ended.The Xinzheng of the South Korean Navy heard intense and intensive gunfire.Reflect this situation.

"Captain, there is a fierce battle ahead. Listen." The first officer rushed into the captain's room anxiously and said loudly at this time.

"I heard it." The captain said at this time.

"I heard that the sound of the guns was quite dense, and the sound of the explosion was very loud, we can hear it here. It means that the fighting is very fierce. Shall we go and have a look." The first officer said at this time.

"En." The captain nodded.

"I don't know what kind of power it is, but the armament that uses artillery in this way is quite large. You know. Not everyone can be equipped with artillery. These things are not quite expensive." The captain said at this time.

"Anyway? Let's go and have a look first, and see the situation before we talk." The captain issued an order.

Soon, the South Korean Xinzheng quickly raised its sails.He rushed towards the scene of the incident quickly.And on this waterway.There are also many other merchant ships who are also concerned. When they were discussing how to tide over the difficulties, they heard the intensive and intense gunfire.They were all curious and sent a boat to check the situation.Find out what's going on.

And the battle was almost over at this time.This is a contest between the armed forces of Chu State itself, but this contest is of great significance.After all, this is a contest in the orthodox sense of a country's internal armed forces.The private armed forces of the nobles of the Chu State have already involved the country’s taxation issue, and the taxation issue is one of the key economic issues. If the Chu State’s navy wants to have long-term development, it must have its own source of taxation. This is the orthodoxy of the country. Big problem at all.I thought it was a problem at this time.There must be a battle between two armed forces.

farther south.Some Chu people are discussing some issues they think are very important.

"The place here is very warm. One of our farmers planted two crops of rice in one year. This is a great discovery. The climate here is much warmer than that in the north." A farmer from Chu State The Lord said at this time.

The Chu people who migrated from Chu State began to reclaim a large amount of farmland near their stronghold.At first these farmlands were just to supplement some food for their own consumption, but as they expanded rapidly and the population of slaves increased, they quickly began to have food needs.It is obviously very unrealistic to rely on domestic transportation. If you grow by yourself, this is worth considering.So they began to reclaim and grow some crops by themselves. These crops provided them with enough food, but the food was not enough for them to produce great economic benefits.

But with the rapid expansion and the arrival of a large slave population, they need a huge amount of food to feed these slaves, because it takes a long time for merchant ships to get here, and they also need a lot of food to supplement their food. supplies.Stimulated by such demand, near the stronghold.The Chu people began to reclaim a large amount of farmland.These farmlands were used by a large number of slaves.Grow up quickly.Because there are very few Chu people who migrated here.And the land is huge.Therefore, it is easy to form the Chu people's own farmers.

Under the huge commercial demand, the Chu people began to actively expand their land, and then turned it into a farming land, planting rice. With the planting, especially after using a large number of slaves, the land was quickly reclaimed. More, these The land is completely concentrated among a few people, so that the concentration of the land is completed, but at this time.The storage and transportation of grain are still very problematic, especially the use of wooden boats, the moisture-proof technology of wooden boats is still a big problem, and the continuous cultivation of grain, the economy can also be limited, the local Chu people are no longer satisfied They grow food.

"Well, it seems that the grain output is going to increase. This is a good thing." An older Chu man said.He is a manager elected by the local area, equivalent to the earliest mayor of a small town.

"What a good thing. These grains can only be sold, but some can't be transported to the Central Plains. Besides, the ships are full of slaves, and they can't be loaded at all. These grains, it's useless for us to ask for so much grain." One farmer complained.

"But we don't know what to do?" said another farmer.

"Anyway, if you don't make money growing food, other people can get rich. Why do we land owners do this?" said a farmer.

"We have to get something else? Plant it and sell it." The farmer said angrily.

"Yes. Plant something. We will grow something that is valuable, and the demand for this kind of thing is still high, and the economy is high." A farmer said.

"But what to plant. There is nothing wrong with this idea, but we don't know what to plant." At this time, the older Chu people said.

"This." Everyone fell silent.With the expansion of the land, it is no longer a wise choice for them to grow food. At this time, they have to choose to grow cash crops. This idea is correct, but the people of Chu do not know what to plant.

Chu people don't know much about local crops.Moreover, they don't know the details of the needs of the Central Plains.

As a result, the development of the Chu people's stronghold has fallen into a bottleneck. They are now trying to break through this bottleneck, but they have made great progress in thinking. This progress is that they stopped planting more grain and turned to As for the cultivation of cash crops, it has to be said that this is a brand new development model.

However, economic crops are not so easy to get, because it requires some experts to conduct research, especially in terms of upstream demand, especially in Qin State. Qin State needs many economic crops to promote the development of industrial civilization, such as rubber, palm Oil, as well as cotton, coffee, and more.Although these things can only appear in the future, with the development of industry, the industry is increasingly in urgent need of a commercial crop resource to meet industrial needs.

These economic crops require research before they can be put into use.The temperature in the south is warm.The flora and fauna flourished and these were potential sources of industrial raw materials.These places occupied by the state of Chu have great potential economic value, and it is a matter of time to develop them, because the people of the state of Chu have already realized this, and realizing this, the rest is a matter of time.

However, the Chu State Navy is considering a brand new situation at this time.

"You said, if we wiped out one noble navy, what about the other noble navy?" After the surface battle was over.The captain of the large warship looked at the slightly detailed map and said.These maps are the latest situation maps marked by reconnaissance.But such a map still does not have accurate coordinates, especially latitude and longitude, and there is not even a scale.In terms of map work, Chu State is still behind.

"We have wiped out a navy of Chu nobles, what about the navy in other places?" The captain of the warship said looking at the map at this time.

"We must take advantage of the victory and the noble navy's sneak attack without any precautions, and quickly go down the river. Sneak attack the opponent and inflict serious trauma on the opponent in a short time. Let them have no strength to continue to intercept. If in the future, they Continue to intercept and openly attack when our army is weak. Then our army will be seriously unable to go to sea. We wait for the opponent to launch an attack. Why don't we take the initiative to attack the opponent and destroy the opponent in the port facilities, so that our army can You can go to sea quickly. Get the right to go to sea in a short time." Said the captain.

"Captain, this is a good idea. However, our army's current ammunition consumption is extremely serious. Although the loss of personnel is not large, there are still losses. At this time, take the initiative to launch an attack. I am afraid that it will make it difficult for our army to advance." The captain of a small warship offered his opinion.

"En." The captain glanced at the other party.

"We do need to replenish ammunition. This battle consumed a lot, and some warships also suffered some losses. Although these losses are not great, they will also be very influential in future offensive battles." At this time .Another small warship captain said.

"En." The large warship nodded at this time to express its understanding.Because these losses do exist, insufficient gunpowder is also a problem. Without enough gunpowder, it is impossible to continuously launch the firepower advantage.

Hearing this, the captain really began to think.These circumstances have to be considered.Because if you don't think about it, launching an attack rashly will not be sustainable.

"I think our army should launch an attack. Fighter planes are hard to find. What the captains said is indeed the reality. However, fighter planes are very beneficial to us. If we give up this fighter plane, we will lose in the future. Quite a lot of time. To attack the opponent, and the overall level of our army is not as good as the noble navy, which has huge financial support. Not only that, their warships are bigger than ours. The number is much larger than ours. In the future For a period of time, our army will inevitably be suppressed by the opponent. At that time, we seem to be stuck in the neck by the opponent. In the end, we will be slowly stuck to death by the opponent. At this time, if we don’t beat the opponent, let go and we are stuck. The hand on our neck, then we will never have a chance. Defeat the opponent and gain the right to go to sea." The first officer said excitedly.

At this time, although the captains were reluctant, they still thought that what the mate said was very reasonable.Supplies are one aspect of the problem, but fighter planes are difficult to find. Once a fighter plane is missed, it will be very troublesome to find the same fighter plane in the future.War is a process of grasping opportunities and making fewer mistakes.

"Supply is indeed a problem. Do you have any good solutions to solve these problems? If this problem is not solved, it will be difficult for our army to win enough victories in future battles. You know, heavy losses will be great for our army. It's also a failure." The captain looked at everyone and said.

"Such a failure is also serious. We must be fully prepared." The captain continued.

"Captain, I think we can settle the matter in this way," said the mate.

"This is the place where Chu's noble navy is moored. There must be some places to store gunpowder on the shore. In addition, our army can capture some ammunition supplies from the opponent. This can solve part of the problem. In addition, we quickly dispatched people to the rear to mobilize quickly. For reinforcements, we only need to attack a naval port. We will definitely be able to obtain supplies, and using the other party's supplies is the best way," said the chief mate.

"En. It is a good way to support war with war. En, let's do it like this. Prepare immediately, everyone. There is only one day. Our army will set off quickly at night. We must not lose the opportunity." The captain said sternly at this time.

"Here." All the captain's mates replied loudly.The fighter opportunity is fleeting, and seizing the fighter opportunity is to seize the vital point of attacking the noble navy of Chu State.

Chu's navy needs to go to sea to attack the strongholds established spontaneously by the Chu people, and the noble navy is an obstacle in front of them.Only by defeating the opponent can the water army further achieve its strategic goals.
