.    Chapter 363: Paying homage to the Souls of the Fallen Heroes on the Beginning of Winter

    "General Ding Feng, I have met the young master, General Huang" led the convoy for half a month. Ding Feng finally arrived in Tancheng. After receiving the money from Sun Qian and Mi Zhu in exchange for surrendering the soldiers, he came to the small house where Sun Ce was being guarded.  hospital.

    Ding Feng is a new young general, but Sun Ce and Huang Gai are not that important at all. However, the other party traveled hundreds of thousands of miles to come here to meet him. Naturally, he had to express his gratitude to General Laoding for his visit. Ce was very ashamed.  "After being imprisoned for a period of time, Sun Ce's behavior changed a lot. His previous impulsive and arrogant appearance gradually faded away, and he became somewhat calm and dignified.

    Because they could finally return to Jiangdong, Ding and Feng drank and chatted in the small courtyard.  At this moment, in the Prefectural Mufu's Mansion, Zhen Yao was holding a piece of silk scroll and carefully observing it. The drawings on the silk scroll were exactly the structural diagrams of various warships used in Jiangdong today.

    Perhaps in the eyes of Zhen Yao, who had studied engineering drawing in his previous life, it was still a bit rough and crude, but in the late Han Dynasty, such a small stack of silk scrolls represented the most advanced shipbuilding technology today.

    This stack of silk scrolls covers almost all types of warships in Jiangdong, from large-scale building ships to small-scale warships. If you can really understand these, and have a lot of money and material support, you can build a water fleet in a short time.

    Xu You may have been working with darkness all day long, and now his thoughts are a little gray. Lord, Jiangdong gave up this warship technology so simply. There must be a conspiracy behind it. There must be omissions in these drawings, or there may be some.  Disadvantages.  "

    Xu Youdu's reasoning, Zhen Yao, a later generation who knew the role of science and technology, could not understand that Sun Wentai had a good plan. He gave me these drawings to ask my craftsmen to study this thing day by day, so even if  I have established a navy in Jizhou, but I will never be able to surpass him in Jiangdong.  This is a conspiracy. Who is the person who came up with this plan?  "

    After Zhen Yao finished speaking, Xu You and others couldn't help but suddenly realized, Mi Zhu then asked, maybe it was Jiangdong Zhou Yu who planned it?  "

    "Zhou Gongjin?" Zhen Yao thought for a moment and nodded slightly.  In today's Jiangdong, there should be no third party except Zhou Yu and Lu Su who can see something so thoroughly and take advantage of it. He didn't expect Zhou Lang to recover from the blow of successive miscalculations and defeats so quickly.  Reply, this person is actually our biggest enemy.  "

    Zhen Yao didn¡¯t know that it was two teenagers who were planning a conspiracy to deal with them. If so, he would probably sigh again.  But Zhen Yao said so, Xu You frowned and said, "Master, Jiangdong has this plan, then wouldn't it be useless for us to get these drawings?"  Otherwise, due to Jiangdong's calculations, future water wars in the Yangtze River will inevitably lead to unexpected events.  "

    Zhen Yao shook his head and smiled. If so, he would not have made this request in the first place. These people have already considered it. Doesn't Ziyuan know that there are many craftsmen who are proficient in shipbuilding in our inner city of Wuji?  Although not as good as Jiangdong, after these years of thinking, their results are also good.  I give these drawings to them just so that they can refer to them and build my own warship in Wuji."

    "No one in the world knows about my lord's foresight." Xu You sighed in his heart. When the inner city was first built, his lord was just a small prince who controlled half of Jizhou.  At that time, his lord had already begun to plan for the future, and his vision and actions were always one step ahead of the other princes.

    Mi Zhu and Sun Qian, who had just joined Zhen Yao's tent, naturally didn't know what the inner city was, but they also understood the conversation between Zhen Yao and Xu You. Their lord had recruited many shipbuilders in the north. It seemed that  I have been plotting Jiangdong for a long time.  And being under the tent of such a prince is definitely much better than a prince who only knows how to maintain his position.

    With a sigh, Xu You thought of another important question, my lord. Before, he was studying to improve warship technology, but the inner city and the rivers around Wuji were enough.  But now that we have to form a navy army, there are no lakes in the North to use. How to solve this problem?  "

    Zhen Yao raised his eyebrows when he heard this. Do you know what are the shortcomings of the Jiangdong navy now?  "

    "Disadvantages?" Mi Zhu, Sun Qian and others looked at each other. They thought that the Jiangdong navy was much stronger than the Jingzhou navy. Not only were the warships and weapons excellent, but the generals were also tough in the water. Such water  Does the military have any drawbacks?  Seeing the "unbelievable" expressions on several people's faces, Zhen Yao couldn't help but sigh to himself. In the late Han Dynasty, everyone from the emperor to the common people were very unfamiliar with the ocean outside the Central Plains continent.  Smiling and shaking his head, Zhen Yao had no choice but to say that Jiangdong warships can only sail in rivers and lakes now. They have never experienced strong winds. In my opinion, they are out of place.  "

    Zhen Yao said this with a certain degree of reliance. He has memories of his past life and naturally knows that the current Jiangdong navy is still immature.  Think about it, a few decades later, Jiangdong dared to send warships out to sea from Jianye, and went north to directly attack Liaoxi. Although it failed, it was enough to prove the importance of water warfare. At that time, Jiangdong's navy had reached the current water warfare technology in the late Han Dynasty.  peak.

    Seeing that Xu You was thoughtful, Zhen Yao paused for a moment and continued, "That's why I want to establish a naval army."We cannot rely on states and counties.  Local Yao has already made plans to build the largest and most comprehensive water warfare and naval warfare division of our Han Dynasty on the coast of Donglai, Qingzhou. In the future, whether it is fighting Jiangdong on the Yangtze River or making surprise attacks along the coast, it can  Fight against it.  "

    "With the current shipbuilding technology of the craftsmen in the inner city, and the Jiangdong warship technology acquired now, our Qingzhou navy will be able to hunt on the sea in less than three years. By then, the Jiangdong navy, which is still stuck in the rivers, will have nothing to fear.  ?¡±

    Speaking of this, Zhen Yao couldn't help laughing. Impressed by Zhen Yao's thinking, Xu You and the others also laughed heartily. It was lucky for them as scribes to have such a hero.

    In the third year of Jian'an (late autumn of 198 AD), after Xuzhou was stabilized, Zhen Yao left Tai Shi Ci, Zhen Meng, and Zhen Ba to lead troops to guard the East China Sea to guard against Sun Cao, and returned north to Wuji with nearly 100,000 troops.  Although three people were left behind, many newcomers were taken away, such as Mi Zhu's family, Chen Deng's family, and Sun Qian's family, all of whom moved north with their families.

    On the way back to Qingzhou, Zhen Yao inevitably stayed in Beihai for a few days and asked Dong Zhao about the current situation in Qingzhou.  After learning that Bohai Minchun had begun to transport various materials and personnel to Qingzhou, and that although Qingzhou was not prosperous now, it would not look desolate, he continued to go north with satisfaction.  Of course, he also did not forget to say hello to Dong Zhao during this time, Qingzhou will establish a naval army.

    When Zhen Yao returned to Wuji, it was almost the beginning of winter. Beginning of winter was a big day. On this day, the Han people would worship their ancestors and predict the future.  As a prince, Zhen Yao had to be responsible for his officers and soldiers in an era when the 'Xian Emperor' had been emptied out and could not hold power.  At the beginning of winter, it is the time to pay homage to the soldiers who died in battle and to care for their relatives.

    The "Monument of Merit" is the home of the soldiers who died in Zhen Yao's tent. It is erected on Qiu Meng Mountain in the northwest of Wuji City. The whole mountain is covered with tombs of the dead, and those who can rest here are all for Wu Ji and Zhen Yao.  And the heroes in the army who died on the battlefield.

    Some of them were soldiers who died in the Yellow Turban battle more than ten years ago, and there were also sons and daughters who died in the war against Dong, the civil war in Jizhou, and the northern expedition to Youzhou and foreign tribes.  Zhen Yao was usually busy with official duties and could not come here often, but at the beginning of winter, unless he was on an expedition, Zhen Yao would definitely come here to pay homage to the heroic souls of the soldiers regardless of wind or rain.

    This year's Beginning of Winter was no exception. Zhen Yao came to Qiu Meng Mountain with all the civil and military personnel in Wuji, as well as the people from the school, and even his wife and children at home.  There were no soldiers and horses accompanying them, and no armor on their bodies. On this day, everyone was just like ordinary people, coming here to pay homage to the heroic souls of the deceased.

    "My Lord, let's go to the top of the mountain." A Qiu Meng Mountain has a radius of nearly ten miles. If you walk slowly and worship while walking, you may not be able to finish the walk even after dark.  Chen Lin stepped forward and whispered in Zhen Yao's ear that soldiers and generals would come to pay homage to their comrades later.  "Let's go up the mountain together." Zhen Yao nodded heavily. He would always feel heavy on this day. As one of the princes fighting for hegemony in the world, no matter how hard he tried to hide it, he could not hide the fact that he had allowed these soldiers to die in battle.

    When we arrived at the top of the mountain, there were several huge monuments erected on the top of the mountain. Looking from right to left, we saw that the experiences of each war were written on them, as well as the number of fallen soldiers and their contributions.

    "In the first year of Zhongping, Yao raised his troops in Wuji County, Zhongshan, Jizhou. He defeated several people from the Yellow Turban Primary School and Qu Shuai, attacked Julu, and defeated Guangzong. During this period, 3,185 soldiers died in the battle. Yao was very distraught.  Pain" Silently, Zhen Mi, who came to Qiu Meng Mountain for the first time, softly read the content written on the inscription.

    "In the first year of Chuping, Yao responded to the emperor's edict and sent troops to Wuji to conquer the traitor Dong Zhuo. During this period Reading about the war deeds, let alone a little girl like Zhen Mi, she was Mi Zhu who first arrived in Wuji.  The expressions of the others also changed several times. How could Zhen Yao have such power before? Now after seeing these inscriptions, everyone understood.

    "My lord, the sacrificial ceremony can begin." After being busy for a while, Chen Lin came to Zhen Yao and said softly.

    Nodding slowly, Zhen Yao walked slowly towards the Temple of Heaven surrounded by tombstones.  Zhen Yao did not believe in heaven or ghosts and gods, but for these soldiers who died because of him, Zhen Yao would sincerely pray on this day.

    "Ang'er, here you go." In the past, after Zhen Yao paid homage, many civil servants came forward to pay homage, but it was different today. Zhen Yao brought his wife and children, and waved to him at the same time.

    Zhen Ang, who is already seven years old, is very underdeveloped, and due to y¨¤o bathing and ordinary exercise at a young age, although his figure is still young, he can still see the shadow of his tall and burly body in the future.  Seeing his father calling him, Zhen Ang, who was still looking around, immediately stepped forward and stood obediently next to Zhen Yao.

    "Zhen Yao spoke very solemnly and kowtowed to me." These words undoubtedly confirmed Zhen Ang's status in the hearts of the civil and military people in the future. However, no one would think about this at this time, and would just look at Zhen Ang's face from behind.  Childishly, she raised the burning incense and kowtowed.?Put it into the incense burner in the center of the Temple of Heaven.

    After Zhen Ang worshiped, it was the turn of the Zhen family's daughters, headed by Zhang Ying, to offer incense. Next to Diao Chan and Cai Yan, three slightly younger children, Zhen Hao, Zhen Yi and Zhen Tian, ??also followed.  Bowed down.

    The worship and prayer lasted for the whole time before it came to an end. Naturally, there was no food prepared for the living in Qiu Meng Mountain, so everyone could only starve and continue to follow Zhen Yao, setting memorial monuments around them.  .

    "Small farmer, I have met Zhou Mu and all the young masters." Along the way, people came up to say hello from time to time, and Zhen Yao responded one by one.  If not for anything else, just because in these people's homes there are soldiers who died in the battle under Zhen Yao's tent.

    "My lord, it's time." When the sun was setting on the mountain, Zhen Yao still led a group of people in front of the tombstones halfway up the mountain to greet the families of many martyrs.  Although she didn't want to disturb her lord, seeing the beautiful sky, Chen Lin had to step forward again and said it was getting late, and her lord would go to the homes of many martyrs tomorrow to express condolences.  "

    Looking back at the top of the mountain, Zhen Yao couldn't help but shake his head as the several huge monuments standing on the top of the mountain were still tall and tall.  "

    On the way back to the city, Zhen Mi suddenly said to Third Brother, let¡¯s take Mi¡¯er with us tomorrow. Mi¡¯er also wanted to visit the families of the soldiers who died in the army.  "Although the little girl has grown up, her kind-hearted nature remains unchanged.

    "Husband, I want to go too." "Husband, let me go with you." Zhen Mi opened her mouth, and Zhang Ying asked the same question.

    Seeing this, Zhen Yao couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle. He will go to comfort the families of the Wuji martyrs tomorrow. We can't mobilize the troops and mobilize the people like today. Let the younger sister go with Yao. You guys can have a good rest in the mansion.  "

    Hearing this, Zhang Ying couldn't help but look at Zhen Mi with disappointment and envy. Zhen Mi was obviously very happy, and her third brother still hurt her the most.  All the civil and military officials around them also had smiles on their faces, but a few of them were thoughtful.

    On the second day, he took Zhen Mi to visit the homes of martyrs inside and outside the city. Zhen Yao was satisfied that although many of these families only had old, weak, young and old children left, their lives at home were relatively prosperous.  Outside the city, people can raise poultry ducks with some leisure. Although they can't eat fish and meat every day, they can have enough food every meal. Children and the elderly can eat meat every few days, which is very simple and satisfying.

    Most of the martyrs' families in the city had some wealth, and Zhen Yao would provide subsidies to the martyrs' families every quarter, so these families had no worries about food and clothing, and even when educating the next generation, they still had no need to let them join the army.  Very thoughtful.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of the way, but Zhen Mi still gritted his teeth and followed all the way, not once complaining about hard work.  Although Zhen Yao also felt tired, due to the prosperous life of these families and the degree of implementation of the government orders, he ignored the slight fatigue. Even after returning home in the evening, he still had the energy to go out after dinner.  All the women are in disarray.

    Day by day, just as Zhen Yao returned to the two-point and front-line life of Zhou Mu Mansion and Zhen Mansion, Xu You finally investigated the assassination incident in Xuzhou thoroughly.  After listening to Xu You's report, Zhen Yao rubbed his chin and said in a low voice. What those assassins said at the beginning was the truth. They were indeed sent by Cao Cao to harass Lu¨¤n in Xuzhou?  "

    There are always all kinds of weird circles in this world, just like there are always more people who believe lies than people who believe the truth. When I tortured a group of assassins before, they answered honestly, but Xu You felt that they were misleading.  But after careful interrogation and analysis of the evidence obtained from the destruction of several Cao family strongholds in Xuzhou, it was found that what they said was indeed the truth.

    Xu You nodded and said, to be precise, it was the death chamber sent by Cheng Yu, a scribe in Cao Mengde's account.  My lord, Cao Cao has repeatedly attacked secretly. Do we want to fight back in the land of Yan and Yu?  "Obviously Xu You is also someone who doesn't want to suffer losses. He was plotted against by Cao Cao once, and he almost captured the person who led him. Now he has a grudge against Cao Cao.

    Zhen Yao tapped the desk with his right hand. This habit for many years has always accompanied him to think about some difficult issues. On the other hand, Guo Jia said that Yanzhou is the foundation of Cao Cao and should not act rashly to avoid exposing himself.  Yuzhou has also undergone considerable changes under the governance of Cao Ren, the younger brother of the Cao family, which is also undesirable.  The only one who can make a difference is Shouchun, which is adjacent to the Jiangdong boundary and has recently been assigned to Cao Ying.  "

    " Zhen Yao nodded when he heard this. What Feng Xiao said is very suitable for me. I will leave it to you to handle this matter. Even if Cao Cao can't spit out Shouchun, he will still suffer some losses.  "

    Guo Jia originally just made a suggestion, but he didn't expect Zhen Yao to directly hand over the matter to him. He was stunned and felt helpless.  It seems that the leisurely days have come to an end. My lord has sent me another mission, and it's not a good thing.

    "When Xu You heard this, he immediately urged us to go out with the lord. We have been blessed in Wuji for a long time. Now is the time to act, otherwise the world will forget you."

    Guo Jia immediately shook his head, as if he really didn¡¯t care about these external fame and fortune, but deep down in his heart, he secretly thought that being able to compete with ChengOld man Yu, having a fight in Shouchun is also one of the joys of life.

    Guo Jia has something to be busy with, and Zhen Yao is also busy because it is winter. Zhen Yao remembers last year's heavy snowfall that almost caused famine. Zhen Yao will naturally make preparations early this year to avoid being in a hurry again.  When deploying the winter decrees, Zhen Yao would go to the inner city from time to time. In addition to checking the progress of the weapons improvement in the inner city, he was also concerned about building warships.

    Early in the morning, when Zhen Yao arrived at the Prefectural Mufu, Chen Lin hurried over to see his lord. News came from soldiers in the inner city, saying that the craftsmen already had an idea of ??the Jiangdong warship drawings given by his lord.  , but if you want to continue the research, you need to find a water land and check it while building.  "

    "You actually got a clue so quickly?" Zhen Yao was delighted when he heard this. He immediately stood up and walked away, following me to the inner city.  "

    Seeing that her lord was very excited, Chen Lin naturally smiled and agreed that it was natural. In the past, they had been studying how to convert merchant ships into warships. Now that they have Jiangdong's drawings, if there is no clue, it will be a failure of the lord's trust.  "

    Zhen Yao and his two men quickly rushed to the inner city with only a dozen personal guards. After arriving in the inner city, they rushed directly to the residence of the craftsmen who kept the boats.  In order to facilitate the research of these craftsmen, Zhen Yao once opened an artificial lake in the inner city. Although the area was only about a few tens of feet in radius, it still occupied less than half of the inner city.

    Arriving at the edge of the man-made lake, Zhen Yao saw dozens of craftsmen renovating a small boat by the lake.  With a thought in his mind, Zhen Yao stepped forward and asked, "Is this ship going to be remodeled to imitate Jiangdong Zou Ke?"  "
