Sishang Heavy Industry's commercial policy of seeking sales benefits also made the logistics of this battle to destroy Chu much simpler.

With a little mobilization, you can create enough cargo ships that can transport material logistics supplies along the river. The price paid is only the shares of some overseas franchise shares. The merchants are very clear about the value of this, because it has been reflected before.

As the commander-in-chief who stayed in Si Shang, Shi was actually not under much pressure.

Almost all the elite cavalry remained in Si Shang and did not participate in the battle to destroy Chu. If Si Shang was mobilized in the inside battle, he could still pull out a large army. The food accumulated for thirty years and could not be used up.

Now there are 60,000 troops gathered in Guangling area, all of which are the main forces of the elite. The navy, including those paddlers and sailors recruited, also has nearly 20,000. In addition to the logistical power of mobilization, Si Shang still has spare energy.

The front-line troops left behind in the Si Shang area, after short-term mobilization and re-training of the attack and Yue, had more than 8,000 elite cavalry and 20,000 infantry. Once the countries attacked Si Shang through Song, or were really anxious, they could also use four divisions of the Song State. In addition, if they were widely mobilized, they would be more than enough to defend Si Shang.

The land of Chu is not suitable for heavy cavalry to play. There are not many cavalrymen to destroy Chu, and the main one is light cavalry.

Si Shang left the elite cavalry and was also prepared to take the initiative to attack. If countries really prepare to intervene together, they will definitely find an opportunity to jump to the outside line before the various countries join forces to join forces.

Lu Zhanshi was not worried, the only thing he was worried about was the battle of the Yangtze River Estuary that was about to start.

With paper power, the Mo family's Zhoushi is much stronger than the Yue Kingdom, but in fact, the Mo family's Zhoushi does not have much practical experience. In other words, when they were fighting with Qi Kingdom more than ten years ago, they formed Qi Kingdom once with Yue Kingdom, which was considered to have accumulated some experience.

The knowledge on paper is always shallow, and it is hard to say whether the performance can defeat the Yue people who are good at sailing on the spot.

There are not many battles in the land battle with less than the more, but the battles in the water battle with less than the more are relatively higher.

Although the victory of the water victory and loss did not affect the demise of Yue Kingdom at all, the purpose of this time was not to destroy Yue Kingdom, but to destroy Yue Kingdom's naval army and obtain water control rights.

This is a bit troublesome.

…………

South of the Yangtze River, the Kingdom of Yue.

Yue Kingdom has been doing a miserable life in the past twenty years.

The hegemony of Si Shang was lost, the Mo family filled the vacant space and blocked Qi's country, went south, and then deceived Wei, colonized the seven Fujian areas of the South China Sea, and Yue was trapped in the middle, isolated and helpless.

The remnants of the Wu nobles were ready to move, and their strategic contraction and relocated back to Kuaiji. The economy was dumped and plundered, and became the grain production land in Si Shang. The handicrafts, which were originally weaker than the princes of the Central Plains, were too close to Si Shang and had water transportation, which made it even worse.

During the Battle of Mo Yue, the aristocratic coup, the Mo family sent the King of Yue back to the throne, and an internal strife destroyed the foundation and spirit of the Goujian era.

But even so, compared to the experience of Yue Kingdom in history, it was a blessing in disguise.

In the past few years in history, the Yue Kingdom has indeed produced several classic aristocratic court-style conspiracy coups.

In history, the King of Yue was worried about the tradition of killing his father. In order to obtain the first successor, his younger brother killed the three sons of King Yue and was ready to kill the prince. As a son, he simply learned how to kill his father and uncle first. Before he could sit firmly, the nobles killed the prince in a coup, and the nobles of Wu made the son of the prince the king; one year after the throne, the nobles of Yue killed the nobles of Wu, drove away the son of the prince, and established the prince's son; a few years later, the nobles fought again to kill Wang Lixin, and the royals failed to kill the prince...

Therefore, compared with the turbulent coup in history, the Yue Kingdom was indeed a blessing in disguise.

The broken strategy suppressed the revengeful nobles of Wu. The defeat of Si Shang made a group of ambitious people jump out early, but they didn't expect that the Mo family was unstable to establish a foothold and needed to support Yue. The loan was released and interfered with the counterattack. The prince jumped out too early and made a negative teaching material for his sons, which made his sons slightly restrained...

So we can also bring up a fleet that can fight against the Mohist family's southward journey.

King Yi of Yue was already old and his sons were about to kill his father and kill his brothers and slaughter his brothers. When the Mo family went south, the nobles and royal families of Yue State were united unprecedentedly: if Qi and Chu came to attack, they might be able to borrow external forces to coup, but the Mo family was against the nobles and wanted to destroy the foundation of the nobles in the system, which made the royal nobles of Yue State unite like never before.

But even so, King Yi of Yue was still worried about this unjust battle to punish the Mo family.

The doctor Xu Feng was elected as the commander of the navy this time, and he was also considered a first-class naval aristocrat in Yue State. However, he had no confidence in this battle.

"Your Majesty, in fact, the outcome of the navy in this battle is irrelevant. If the navy wins, the river will be thousands of miles away, and the Mo family's land soldiers can cross the river from anywhere. As long as they cross the river, our army will be defeated."

"From the past, the army on Si Shang is invincible."

In the war that year, the Mo family completely cast a shadow on the Yue Kingdom. The Gentleman Army suffered heavy casualties and suffered outdated chariot battles. The brave noble swordsmen were defeated by the musketeers and spearmen in the array, and the archer was slaughtered by the stirrup cavalry.

Now, the Mo family has fought with Wei and Qi in recent years. Yue Wang Yi knew the best in his own land warfare level.

In the Goujian era, brave swordsmen were organized into a gentleman army with young nobles, and could be called "overlords" and all countries were convinced.

In less than a hundred years, this military system has completely lagged behind the Si Shang military system. The original organizational skills of the Central Plains region were combined with the new military system. In fact, even the Central Plains princes could not defeat the Yue State Land War.

The reason why Yue Kingdom was able to dominate was just because of its backwardness. The Central Plains developed too early, and the civil society of the people, which was different from the country and the country, was busy with internal struggles, which made Yue Kingdom temporarily strong for a while, but once it could not defeat the world, its innate weaknesses would be revealed.

The navy that Yue Kingdom could rely on was an advantage, but the Mo family had a lot of money and developed industry and commerce. Yue Kingdom built a tower ship with two or three ships on Si; Yue Kingdom was loaded with big crossbows on the tower ship with a large number of copper cannons on the tower ship with a number of copper cannons; Yue people were born to swim and mount a boat, and Si Shang forced to serve and train paddlers; Yue Kingdom recruited fishermen who were raising boats for the boat, and Si Shang used money to raise a standing paddler.

What if the water battle is won? Even if the river is dangerous, the infantry will not be able to cross the river. They will no longer mobilize their troops to Qimin and go north to defeat Yue.

It is impossible to avoid war passively and retain the strength of the navy and wait for changes in the world. The Mohist navy has artillery, and the Yue Kingdom lacks a cannon that can protect its warships and has nowhere to hide.

King Yi of Yue sighed and said, "There is no other way to fight."

"We moved south to hide, but the seven Fujian and southern seas are owned by the Mo family, and it is impossible to move south. Chu is in chaos, and even if we are willing to support me, we are powerless. Jin and Qin fought in Xihe, how dare the Qi people intervene alone and take direct attack on Si Shang?"
