Chapter 707: Great Xia Water Army
In the end, Fan Xu was left in the palace, and became Bai Yu's resident bodyguard with Yuwen Chengdu, while Lan Yu quickly retreated and went to Changfu, he also needed to visit his sister, Lan Yu is Chang Yuchun's brother-in-law, so Lan Yu is also Chang Yuchun's brother-in-law.
Therefore, the relationship between Chang Yuchun and Lan Yu is also very close, and after learning that his nephew has not joined the army since he was summoned, and his sister has been summoned, Lan Yu hurried to meet the two, and at the same time, Lan Yu also had the intention of deceiving his nephew Chang Mao into the army under his command.
Chang Mao's brave blue jade is naturally clear, even if it is not weaker than his father Chang Yuchun, and even much stronger, why not take advantage of the moment to quickly pull his nephew into his army.
Chang Mao and the others were naturally pleasantly surprised by Lan Yu's visit, and then held a banquet to receive Lan Yu, which was regarded as picking him up and washing the dust.
"Uncle. Chang Mao clenched his hands into fists, extremely calm.
Lan Yu smiled and stepped forward with a fist and hammered Chang Mao's shoulder socket, "Yes, your kid is getting stronger and stronger." Chang Mao laughed, and led the way directly without nonsense.
During the banquet, the group had a good conversation.
Chang Mao hesitated for a long time, and finally told Lan Yu that after Lan Yu's death, Zhu Yuanzhang told Lan Yu all about his skin and grass filler, thinking that Lan Yu would be furious, but to Chang Mao and others' expectations, Lan Yu's face was very flat, as if he had been mentally prepared.
Chang Mao asked him, but Lan Yu just smiled faintly and didn't answer, saying that he would understand in the future.
Yuan Tiangang also said goodbye and left after reporting some things to Bai Yu, and before leaving, he asked Bai Yu to say that he needed to take a good look at the current area of Great Xia to see if he could find anything good.
......
At the same time, on the other side, the Emperor Heaven Great World Xia Kingdom, the southernmost Sea of Storms.
The Emperor Heaven Great World Xia Kingdom borders the Sea of Storms, and this place is garrisoned by the Mighty Sea led by the Covering Navy, as the old man who originally followed Bai Yu, the qualifications of the Mighty Sea are the oldest in the entire Xia Kingdom.
And now Xiong Kuohai also holds the position of the general of the Emperor Heaven Great World Xia Guo Zhennan.
This position is not low, at least compared to the plate of the entire Xia Kingdom, this is a very important position, and it is also a very high position, even if Xu Da successfully won the entire territory of the Northern Zhuang Kingdom and the Great Qi Dynasty, he was only the general of Zhenbei, ranked the first commander of the Ming Dynasty, and the position of Xu Da, one of the top ten marshals in China, was also equivalent to the Xiongkuohai before.
It is also the reason why the majestic sea is so senior, although it is not as good as Xu Da who can defend the northern territory and expand the territory at the same time, the sea of storms in the south is completely scattered islands and the endless ocean. The vast sea has always been clear about what should be fought for and what should not be fought for.
It is his belief that His Majesty will never withhold what belongs to him, but he will not fight for what is not his.
Knowing that the blind advance and retreat is the way of the courtier.
His ability is not as good as Xu Da, at least when Xu Da's record came, the majestic sea was full of admiration, hitting big with small, winning more with less, I might as well be far away.
Because the south borders on the Sea of Storms, there are many fewer wars, especially since the Fuso Dynasty was destroyed, there are only some remnants left, but with the continuous capture and extermination, the number of remnants is getting smaller and smaller, and in the end they either flee to other countries or are killed on the spot or captured back to the prison.
On the shores of the Sea of Storms, the mighty sea stands with its head held high and its hands on its shoulders, constantly wandering and walking on the edge of the beach, watching the warships that stay on the coastline.
These warships were all the "legacy" left over from the original Fusang Dynasty, and eventually became the trophies of the Xia Kingdom.
There are not many of these things, but they can't withstand the Xia Kingdom, which is not good at water warfare in the first place, and there are not many generals who are good at water warfare when they are summoned, so water warfare has become the weakest part of the Xia Kingdom.
There are not many warships in the Xia Kingdom, and they are basically the warships captured by the destruction of other forces, but fortunately, Bai Yu has noticed the shortcomings in this aspect, and ordered the craftsmen below to reforge all the captured warships.
At the same time, he summoned capable craftsmen, and then gathered the power of Great Xia to finally make certain improvements to these warships, although there was a lot of gap between them and those top dynasties or imperial dynasties that specialized in warship water warfare, but they reached the middle and upper level of ordinary dynasties.
Some of these recast warships ended up in the Great World of War, some were transported to the Small World, and the rest were transported to the Xia Kingdom of the Great World of War, and became the things under the hands of the Mighty Sea.
According to Bai Yu's idea, he originally wanted to mobilize Huang Gai to come here to serve as the commander of the Southern Naval Army, but someone also needed to sit in the Great World of Zhan Cang, and the transfer of Huang Gai was just a bad idea to demolish the east wall and make up for the west wall.
The final result was that Bai Yu agreed to approve and let Xiong Kuohai train the navy by himself.
In the words of the majestic sea, there is a sea character in my name, so it is natural to gallop in the sea, otherwise it will not be a waste of my name.
Of course, many people listened to these words as a joke.
If there is a sea in the name and gallops through the sea, then the name has a word for god, saint, immortal, etc., isn't it born to be destined to become an ancestor.
How can there be such a ridiculous thing.
After obtaining these warships, he was not in a hurry to go to sea immediately, but ordered people to collect a large number of military books, especially naval war books, as well as training methods for naval forces.
These things are all confidential, and they are all the heritage of some forces, and they will not be casually watched.
However, in recent years, Great Xia has seized a lot of books in the southern and northern wars, and there are still many such books after the classification and collection.
After studying the military books and comprehensively studying the various training methods in the military books, and then slowly improving them in the process of continuous practice, and finally going into the water to fight and destroy the evil beasts in the water, the water bandits, and the water thieves.
In the end, it really let the majestic sea pull out a naval army.
On the sea in front of you, thousands of warships are across the broad blue waves, one after another battleships are arranged in an orderly manner, flags are flying, and at the same time, the sails are waving in the wind, and a famous soldier on the deck is dressed in a sharp and energetic manner.
In terms of food, Xiong Kuohai gave the best treatment to the soldiers under his command, and never deducted a point, and the military salaries distributed and the income obtained from the extermination of foreign beasts and water bandits were all invested in this water army by Xiong Kuohai.
Xiong Kuohai could pat his chest and say loudly that the treatment of this army under his command was top-notch even in the entire Great Xia, let alone compared to other dynasties.
The waves fluctuated, and thousands of warships also waved, and the breath above their heads was thick, and the blue mist was suspended above the fleet, and at the same time, the soul of a frog army was hidden in the green mist.
In the past, this fleet was to exterminate some small-scale water bandits and idle beasts, no matter how conspicuous the battle record was, it was taken for granted in the eyes of outsiders.
Xiong Kuohai clenched the purple gold cooked copper stick in his hand, his eyes were invincible, and finally he laughed with satisfaction: "Raise soldiers for a thousand days and use soldiers for a while, eat the king's Lu to serve the king, and make contributions in the present day, you can have confidence!"
