For a long time, the Sailor had not received real attention from any dynasty. After all, the surface of the water is not as good as the land, and the passage of people still depends on the land, and the places where most people live and strategic points are still connected by the land rather than the water.

Therefore, only the southern regime will maintain a sufficient number of sailors, after all, the sailors are gold-swallowing monsters, and the materials and manpower to build a warship can fully arm an army of thousands of people. Especially for the Southern regime, if you want to attack the north, there are few waterways to choose from, so in most cases you have to take the land route, so when the southern regime is strong, the sailor is just a decoration, and is generally responsible for transporting grain and grass in the rear when the army goes out.

Even in the Three Kingdoms period, the Eastern Wu was extremely strong, and its generals were basically not complete naval generals, such as Dong Xi, Xu Sheng and Ding Feng, etc., whose subordinates were all able to fight on water and on foot, but this also led to the fact that the soldiers of Eastern Wu were always inferior in skill on land, but there was really no opponent on the water, and for a long time, the sailors became less and less important.

Although Nanchen also maintains a large Jingzhou naval division, the background of the construction of this naval division is that when Nanchen could only confront the Northern Dynasty across the river, the long defense line of the river must need the help of the naval division, and with the Nanchen taking Huainan and Jiangling, the river has completely become the inland river of Nanchen, and the naval division will soon lose the main value of its existence, and gradually become a patrol and escort ship on the river.

Although Nan Chen's neglect of Jingzhou Sailor was definitely a good thing for Wang Chang and them, it also made them have to worry about their future. The birds are all gone, the good bow is hidden, and now Nan Chen has no power to fight back at all, when to swallow Nan Chen in one bite actually depends on Li Xinchen's mood, and after taking Nan Chen, Li Xinchen's dependence on the sailor for the northward attack is very small.

Therefore, Wang Chang and these generals of the water division have to worry about the future treatment, everyone is a dry water master, and if they go back to be foot soldiers, it will be a little difficult to accept.

And listening to Li Xinchen's meaning, it seems that in the future, the sailor will exist as an independent army, which means that the sailor will be treated the same as the land division, even if it is inferior, it will not be too much, the sailor is originally a gold-swallowing monster, especially the development and construction of new warships will consume a lot of manpower and material resources, so as long as the imperial court treats the sailor as an independent arm and will not block the funds too much, then everyone will be satisfied.

And this means that the establishment of the water division will exist for a long time, and it will not directly remove the water division because Li Xinchen does not need the water division one day.

Of course, Li Xinchen's commitment also has a premise, and the sailor must develop and grow. Now this small sailor only looks able to support the façade because of the five-tooth ship, and has not fought any real water battles except for bullying and bullying the local water thieves, so Li Xinchen also gave them a test while making a promise.

Needless to say, I also know that Li Xinchen's requirement for them is the Jingzhou Water Division, no matter what, the current Jingzhou Water Division is still the most powerful Water Division in the world, and only by defeating the Jingzhou Water Division can we prove that this Bashu Water Division is a team worthy of Li Xinchen's investment.

"Please rest assured general, with these brave and warlike soldiers, and our five-tooth ship, we will definitely beat those guys in Jingzhou Navy!" Wang Chang immediately patted his chest and assured Li Xinchen.

It is the dream of all the sailor generals to form a strong sailor, and now that Li Xinchen has put the opportunity in front of them, they must definitely seize it.

Li Xinchen is still relieved about Wang Chang's promise, according to the news of the spies, the current Jingzhou Navy has no intention of fighting, and the direct conflict between Li Xinchen and the Nanchen court has also caused an uproar in the Nanchen army anyway.

In particular, the support of the garrisons in Huaidong and Huaixi for Li Xinchen was either overt or covert, which made the local army have to think about it carefully.

In any case, Li Xinchen was born in the Nanchen military, and his bloodline cannot be changed here. Coupled with the support of Wu Mingche, Xu Ling and others for Li Xinchen, as well as the veteran Chun Yuliang's very simple "defection", in fact, a small part of the Southern Chen army has been under Li Xinchen's command.

Even if the Jingzhou sailor directly obeys Xiao Maha's orders, at this time, I am afraid that the internal will have to ponder by himself.

What's more, Li Xinchen believes that the promise he made is enough to make Wang Chang and others tempted. What it means to be independent and status, they must know in their hearts. Of course, this is not a bad thing for Li Xinchen.

Although it is true that the sailor needs the investment of money now, Li Xinchen knows that if he wants to control the vast ocean of the South China Sea or even further after the rain, it is indispensable to have a strong sailor, and today's investment will be rewarded thousands of times in the future.

————————————

Li Xinchen made such a big promise, and the generals of the Navy Division were excited to keep His Royal Highness to eat in the army.

For Li Xinchen, he was originally a soldier, so there was nothing to refuse. What's more, Li Xinchen had to admit after tasting it that the level of the firehead army who dealt with the rivers and lakes every day in the sailor was really good.

In later generations, the Yangtze River three fresh, which was expensive, was only the price of cabbage in this era, and it was also hearty with the prepared side dishes. What's more, Li Xinchen is here today, so he made an exception to drink, so Wang Chang and others diligently persuaded him to drink, and Li Xinchen was naturally drunk.

However, Wang Chang and others are not stupid, alcohol is forbidden in the army, and it is good that His Highness is happy today to make an exception, and everyone does not dare to drink too much, otherwise His Highness will come back to his senses tomorrow If he is no longer allowed to drink alcohol in the army, then there will be a lot of suffering.

Therefore, Li Xinchen was not drunk, but when he walked into the courtyard of his home, Li Xinchen glanced at Li Ping beside him, Li Ping, this kid has been with Li Xinchen for a long time, of course, he knows what His Royal Highness the King of Han wants to do tonight, and he stepped forward to support Li Xinchen with a very good look, and walked towards Lechang's room tremblingly.

"Bang bang bang" The door knocked on the earth, and the maid looked at Li Xinchen who was full of alcohol in some surprise. And Li Ping scolded: "What else to see, help in, if there is any deviation, I want you to look good!" ”

"But ······" The maidservant just wanted to say that His Royal Highness the King of Han's room was next door, but thinking about it yesterday on the boat, Her Royal Highness the princess did not refuse, not to mention that the head of Li Xinchen's guard in front of him looked fierce and vicious, and he was definitely not easy to provoke, so he could only help support Li Xinchen.

"Why did you drink so much?" Le Chang also heard the voice and couldn't help but sneer.
