Especially because of so many years of study, he also thought of some questions.
That is the warships of today, almost all of which are made of wood.
If iron could be added to it, it would definitely be stronger.
However, Zhao Jiguang knew very well that the Wei Dynasty’s iron smelting capabilities were not strong enough to meet this condition.
So don't expect that.
But one thing is certain, if the warships are truly built according to his own ideas, they will definitely be much more powerful than the current warships of Wei!
At this moment, Zhao Jiguang held a warship model in his hand and murmured to himself, "I believe that soon, you will no longer be confined to this dark room. You will be able to ride the wind and waves on the sea like me!"
His voice was trembling and full of anticipation...
Because this day is not far away!
After sighing.
Zhao Jiguang pulled the curtain on the windowsill and walked out of the room.
Because he knew in his heart that before he took up the post of commander-in-chief of Haizhou, he had to guard Zhenbei Pass until his father arrived.
So in the next few days, he put all his energy into this aspect.
An army of 200,000 on the grassland is no small matter.
To prevent the enemy from dividing its forces.
Zhao Jiguang first began to spread the news that Shenwu Hou had reached Zhenbei Pass to disrupt the morale of the grassland army.
At the same time, he would go out with his soldiers from time to time to harass the local area.
Because the reputation of Marquis Shenwu is too great.
The grassland army was indeed on high alert.
Facing his attack, he did not choose to fight back, but just defended.
Also because of Marquis Shenwu, the grassland army was all gathered together and did not split up to attack from other places.
In this way, Zhao Jiguang's goal was fully achieved. Of course, he knew in his heart that such a thing could not be concealed for many days and would soon be discovered.
By then, the grassland tribes will definitely choose to start attacking because they have been fooled.
But it was nothing, it was all within his expectations.
Because at that time.
Father has arrived.
And all these situations went smoothly just as Zhao Jiguang expected.
On the third day, news arrived that the troops of the Marquis of Shenwu had reached less than ten miles from the Zhenbei Pass and would soon enter the pass.
He immediately sent his generals to greet them, and as for himself, he chose to leave quietly with his personal guards.
In fact, if this happened under normal circumstances, it would be considered desertion from duty.
But because of the imperial court's order.
It's really nothing.
Because what needs to be done has been done.
Now Zhao Jiguang couldn't wait to go to Haizhou as soon as possible to command the navy and build his warship model into a real warship!
at the same time.
The capital also received the news that Marquis Shenwu was about to arrive at Zhenbei Pass.
All the ministers in the court breathed a sigh of relief.
Because they know very well.
As long as Marquis Shenwu arrives, the pressure on the northern border can be reduced by at least half.
Especially now, the troops in the northern border have all started to move, and the silver and wages from the Ministry of Revenue have also followed suit.
Under such circumstances, even if the 200,000-strong grassland army acted together, they would be able to withstand the pressure.
This is the power of a dynasty, when it wants to do something.
Especially when everyone from the emperor to the officials below is taking action.
That's pretty scary.
This day.
In the imperial city, inside the Jingde Palace.
Wei Yunyi leaned back in the main seat, looking comfortable.
Zhao Lingying stood nearby, holding a memorial, and said, "Your Majesty, my father is about to reach Zhenbei Pass. The various prefectures in the northern border have also sent memorials saying that they have sufficient food and money and can move at any time."
"I think the crisis in the northern border can definitely be resolved. Maybe we can even strike back and defeat the alliance of the ten grassland tribes in one fell swoop."
She still has considerable confidence in her father.
Even though this time the grassland army was very powerful.
But now, the court is united, and with the strong pass guarding the north, there will definitely be no problem.
In Zhao Lingying's opinion, defending the northern border was only the initial goal.
The most important thing is to defeat the 200,000-strong army on the grassland.
in this way.
At least it can keep peace in the North for a few more years!
"Defeat?" Upon hearing this, Wei Yunyi couldn't help but sit up straight and said directly, "No, I have already told the old marquis that the purpose of this time is only to prevent the grassland army from moving south and to launch an appropriate counterattack."
"As long as we can make the ten grassland tribes retreat, that will be enough. As for defeating the grassland army, that is impossible."
"After all, the grasslands are vast, and those barbarian cavalry are powerful, so it's best not to take any risks."
"If we're ambushed, the situation will be even more dangerous."
"It's better to be conservative."
Although what he said was that he was worried about an ambush on the grassland.
But in fact, they were afraid that the Marquis of Shenwu would really do something to defeat the 200,000-strong army on the grassland.
If this is true, then wouldn't the luck of the country skyrocket? This is a military victory, and it is more obvious than the national strength enhanced by the successful reform.
Therefore, no matter what, this cannot be allowed to happen.
"ah?"
"Is it enough to just make the ten tribes of the grassland give up?"
When Zhao Lingying heard this, her eyes were filled with confusion.
Your Majesty let his father take command, just for this purpose?
She couldn't help but ask, "Even if we succeed, the grassland army will still have the strength to fight again. What if they come back again soon?"
Once those barbarians on the grassland become stronger, they will soon choose to move south.
