The next day, Wang Puzhi delivered an order from the Privy Council. He and Guo Shaomi set out to attack the Southern Tang State; the Jiangnan water network was densely covered, and the danger of the river was even more important. Water warfare was important.

Guo Shao agreed, and soon contacted the guard Ma Busi commander Han Tong, and the group went to the west of the city to watch the guard's navy camp.

Han Tong called Han Xingyan, and he is also a bad person. Guo Shao found that there were not a few people who made a mess of military commanders when dealing with interpersonal relationships, but Han Tong was also a rule-abiding person, even much more disciplined than Shi Yanchao, so Guo Shao never cared about Han Tong. During the Tokyo Mutiny last year, although Han Tong did not help Guo Shao at all, he did not help Zhao Kuangyin either, which made Guo Shao always remember his goodness.

However, Han Tong now respects Guo Shao, and Guo Shao's rank is higher than him. The commander in front of the palace is inferior in rank to the commander of the guards and Mabudu, but Guo Shao has the right to check the palace guards and the Tokyo imperial army, so the military power is greater than him...Of course Han Tong’s respect for Guo Shao is not limited to military power.

Among the people by the river, Guo Shaoyao points to the boats on the river, speaks calmly, and does not seem to be frivolous. Although he is only twenty-three years old, no one around him despises him because of the long-term wind and sun. The skin is rough and bronzed. It seems that he has become more mature (the actual experience is more than 23 years). With a high-ranking talent, Guo Shao looks like a person who can take on a big responsibility. With such an image, age is no longer important, and people in this era are relatively {one}{book} reading ~ novels are premature, and there are people who come out to be officials before the age of twenty.

Guo Shao has gone through numerous battles, big and small, and has never been defeated. Han Tong and other people with very old qualifications in the military know what Guo Shao has done. In the Forbidden Army generals, everything may be controversial, but military merits will not be disputed. Generals consider themselves strong. Even Shi Yanchao was convinced of Guo Shao's military exploits.

"The warships running on the river are wheel pallets. There are a total of four waterwheels on the left and right. The boats travel lightly; the first layer below the deck can also have large oars. When you need to chase the enemy ship to speed up, the waterwheels and oars Can be used together and run faster." Han Tongyao pointed to the ships without sails and talked freely.

Guo Shao said: "It sounds like Han Du has quite some experience in water warfare."

Han Tong was not modest, he hummed: "Before the Battle of Huainan, from shipbuilding to military training, the Marine Army of the Great Zhou was all carried out by orders. Shipbuilding and water warfare were well known. Although Zhou Jun was in the Central Plains, the warship It’s not worse than the Jiangnan countries. This kind of wheels can run faster than the warships of the Nantang Kingdom, but it transports more troops."

As a modern person, when Guo Shao talks about wooden warships, he naturally thinks of the most domineering sailing battleships in the sailing era. Now he casually said: "These ships look very wide, so they focus on transporting troops?"

Han Tong glared: "The most important thing about a warship is speed and troop transportation. The two boats are engaged in battle, and the battle is mainly based on the ship, and they have to be boarded and killed. The small soldiers of the ship are the first to eat the weak. Loss, so the number of troops transported depends on the strength of combat power."

Guo Shao nodded in agreement, and said: Every era has something to adapt to it, and the long and narrow battleships are not suitable for port warfare. At this time, it is very difficult to sink a warship. It is better to capture it directly by the navy... After all, it is a special case that the battle of Chibi burns the warship. Cao Jun connected the warship together without maneuvering. Otherwise, it’s not easy for the fireboat to burn the warship; the warships in modern water warfare can even dodge the torpedo that soars so fast. Is there still no way to hide the obvious fireboat?

Han Tong said again: "This boat is a sand boat. It is not only wide and has a flat bottom. It is not the same as a sea boat. Rivers and lakes are used for boats. In some places, the water is not deep, and the sharp-bottomed boat has to touch the bottom of the river. Only a flat-bottomed wide boat is the best. The hull is wide and shallow, and it can be pulled out even if it ran aground. Waterwheels and oars are also more suitable than sails, because it is difficult to happen in a downwind weather, and you can’t go zigzag. For a river as wide as Bianshui, how to go zigzag forward, it is better to lower the sails."

Guo Shao suddenly felt very powerful when he heard Han Tong's "Z" driving technique. He has heard of this method, but the specific technique has not been studied.

Guo Shao was full of enthusiasm, and immediately led the crowd to the water village, boarded the boat to watch the wooden mechanical structure of those "ancient ships", and asked in detail about the navy's tactics and organization.

The strongest enemy in the future will not be on the water. I am afraid that it will be difficult for Guo Shao to command the water battle himself, but he is still very interested in everything and gradually learns and understands... Guo Shao doesn’t feel conceited in his heart, but feels like these in ancient times. He can learn everything; after all, there is no very professional and profound scientific questions at this time. They are all simple experience skills. Although interlacing may not be familiar, it is easy to figure out how it works.

As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, Guo Shao can basically understand how a squad fights, especially how the army fights. He has been fighting on the front line for several years. Perhaps many high-ranking people disdain these things, but Guo Shao himself thinks it is very useful and very helpful to the rational decision-making... It is like a mechanical design. If you don’t know whether a model can be realized in process, then he designed it. Things are also nonsense; a coach does not know how to achieve it tactically, no matter how good the strategy is, it is a pipe dream.

There was a fishy smell on the deck. Guo Shao couldn't help but look back at the navy officers on the battleship: "You warship also doubles as a fishing boat?"

A military commander was embarrassed and said: "Sometimes I go out to cast a net to catch a few fish, how does Guo Du check it out?"

"Smell the smell." Guo Shao had a smile on his face, and didn't mean to leapfrog and accuse the general. So the military commander said with a hippie smile: "Guo Du's nose is really good, but I can't smell it."

Everyone laughed after listening. Guo Shao rarely cares about the generals of the lower ranks. Anyway, they are all in charge of them. It is better to maintain a harmonious atmosphere and win the love of the lower ranks.

"Han Du Shi, why not specifically talk about the method of the "Zhi" against the wind?" Guo Shao looked at Han Tong with interest, "such as the direction of the sail, the movement of the ship, etc."

"If it is a headwind, no one can do it, but that kind of situation is rare, and the wind direction is slightly biased." Han Tong explained. Guo Shao was confused and suggested that he could draw pictures and explain slowly.

Wang Pu on the side seemed to have no interest in any tactics. Instead, he was very interested in Guo Shao and had been observing Guo Shao calmly. Occasionally, I found Wang Pu's eyes and felt very uncomfortable.

Guo Shao stayed on the boat for half a day before Sun Xifeng left the water village and led the crowd back to the city.

...A group of people walked to the inner city imperial street and said goodbye to their homes. When Wang Pu left, he said: "By the way, there is something. Prime Minister Feng Dao is seriously ill and has been on leave for many days."

Guo Shao and Feng Dao didn't have much friendship, so they didn't say anything at the moment and went straight home. After entering the mansion gate, he wondered that Wang Pu had also been ill, and he was cured by the genius doctor Lu. Just mentioned it to himself. Could it be that he had sent Lu Lan to see Feng Dao?

After thinking for a while, Guo Shao went into the gatehouse of the front yard and went in to find Lu Lan. In Guo Shao’s impression, I really can’t remember what useful things Feng Dao did; but there is no prejudice against him, except that he has the nickname "Tumbler", who was the emperor of the four or five dynasties. , The officials are not wrong.

The wing room was open, and Guo Shao knocked on the door. Lu Lan was doing needlework. Seeing Guo Shao coming in, she immediately hid what she was holding behind the bookshelf next to her. She said: "Come in, it's your home anyway."

Guo Shao said: "I told you to come to Tokyo a thousand miles away. I said I would return you... You recommend a closest relative and write to him to come to Tokyo. I will find a way to make him a royal doctor."

After hearing this, Lu Lan said: "The third uncle has been reading for so many years to become an official. You are so light, you can become an official with one sentence?"

"The imperial doctor is in charge of Taichang Temple, and Shaoqing of Taichang Temple is my staff. You say lightness is not lightness?" Guo Shao smiled unabashedly. Speaking of this, if he suddenly realized: No wonder he always felt that the imperial doctor's medical skills were not so clever. It turned out to be like this; he can walk through the back door, and those bureaucratic relatives can't find relationships?

Lu Lan said: "It's better to be respectful, then I would like to thank General Guo. Only to recommend the uncle...not the relatives of the uncle, there are no close relatives of the Lu family and the uncle's family."

Guo Shao nodded and said: "It's okay if you are not a relative. You recommend someone from the Bai family to be an official. They will remember your kindness. In the future, if you can't rely on me, there is a way out."

"That said, I don't think General Guo is a reliable person." Lu Lan said grimly.

Guo Shao again pretended to be casual and said: "There is a prime minister in the court who is sick, but he has no friendship with me. But he admires your medical skills and wants you to see him. Tomorrow morning, I Let Bai Xiangu send two entourages to send you Feng Daojia, how about giving him his pulse?"

Lu Lan didn't refuse: "I have a patient who is looking for me, of course I have to go. The doctor is always treating people."

"If you want to do something, open a drugstore or something, just tell me that I can support you." Guo Shao said again.

Lu Lan said softly: "I have recently been familiar with the medical classics brought from the Bai family. I don't want to toss for a while."

Guo Shao glanced at the bookshelf and stood up: "Then it's okay. If Ms. Lu lacks anything, ask Aunt Bai Xian for her money in and out of the house. Goodbye."

……

The next day, Lu Lan waited for Guo Shao and said that Feng Dao was too old and frail. It was not that he had any disease and had no cure. Guo Shao no longer cares about birth, old age, sickness and death, and extraordinary people can control|control, the old prime minister has also lived for a long time, and he has lived through several dynasties. There is not much regret.

As a result, there are only three prime ministers left in the Zhengshi Hall. One of them is still in the Chengdu Mansion of Shu Kingdom... However, some systems of the Zhou Dynasty are inherited from the Tang Dynasty, and there should usually be six to seven prime ministers. Now there are more vacancies. .
