Chapter 023: Liaodong Royal Navy (Part I)

Donghai Town's initial foothold, according to Zhao Zongwu's pre-conceived plan, was based on an invincible navy and supplemented by a strong army.

However, with the capture of Jinzhou as the foundation of Donghai Town, and many subsequent advanced ideas, will be done around the foundation of Jinzhou.

This also made Zhao Zongwu slowly change his preconceived assumption.

An invincible navy and a powerful army should go hand in hand!

But in terms of focus, it is necessary to prioritize the identification of a strong army, because only in this way can we ensure that the Golden State, which is a foundation of foundation, is foolproof.

Even if the navy is strong in the boundless sea, it still needs to dock and replenish supplies.

If there is no place to ensure that the navy is strong, then who can always ensure that the navy is strong?

But this does not mean that Zhao Zongwu does not attach importance to the development of the navy.

In order to clarify the status of the navy in Donghai Town, Zhao Zongwu gave it a resounding title: Liaodong Royal Navy!

In Zhao Zongwu's conception, the Liaodong Royal Navy was an incubation point, as the foundation for the future to open the Age of Discovery.

The endless sea represents countless places to conquer.

If there is no such prophet, it is just that, since he has such a prophet, then Zhao Zongwu will definitely not be in his heart, watching a group of yellow-haired robbers send such wealth for no reason!

As an excellent and amiable Chinese people, this kind of movement to rescue the poor people should be carried forward in their hands!

We are not doing exploitation, we are teaching the poor people of the world to create wealth.

Of course, if you want to have such a premise, you must first have a strong navy!

But since Zheng He went to the West, the Ming Dynasty has not formed an ocean-going navy, and his valuable ocean-going experience, because of Zhu Di's own greed, was finally completely sealed by the civil officials who did not get the meat!

This is the beginning of the closure of the country.

Since the Song Dynasty, the Huaxia clan has obtained huge benefits in the ocean, but when it came to the Ming Dynasty, it was completely sealed, and the Qing Dynasty, which did not know how to govern, completely closed the country to the end!

This is not a sad thing.

China, which has been leading the world for more than a thousand years, has finally lost its footsteps to continue to move forward because of this sad seclusion.

In order to allow the Liaodong Royal Navy to have a strong foundation, Zhao Zongwu transferred excellent generals and talents from the beginning!

Cao Wenzhao, Li Yun, and He Huchen are all shrewd and calm existences.

For the establishment of the Liaodong Royal Navy of this scale, with their mediation, it will definitely be able to give the Liaodong Royal Navy a good foundation.

In addition, there are veteran sailor battalion generals such as Jin Guan, Ji Shideng, Wu Jingzhou, Zhang Huxing, Lei Bao, etc., and a solid foundation has been laid.

There are also outstanding young generals such as Zu Kuan, Li Bin, Zu Kefa, Zhao Zonghu, Zhao Zongbao, Zu Zeyuan, Zu Zepei, and Zu Zesheng.

Even if the current Liaodong Royal Navy does not really have all the meaning, it can first build the skeleton of the integrated fleet group in the three sea areas.

Nothing can be done in one fell swoop, and he needs to put in all kinds of efforts in the process to eventually succeed.

"Bin Xu, Wei Ning, although Deputy Commander Li has not yet taken office at this stage, you must all worry about the specific matters of the Liaodong Royal Navy!"

The formation of the Liaodong Royal Navy is much more complex than that of the Donghai Town Army, with so many types of ships, various types of distinctions, and specific heads of large and small capital ships......

On the premise that there are no communication tools developed in later generations, it is not easy to coordinate such a huge fleet!

In order to be able to solve such complicated problems, Cao Wenzhao and He Huchen, together with the imperial naval officers of Liaodong, decided to temporarily select qualified naval officers and men as the first priority after urgent discussions.

As a member of the navy, if you say that you can't take a sea boat, can't go out to sea to fight, or you are seasick, then the sea is no better than a river!

When a ship gallops in the sea, no matter how big or small the ship is, it will shake, and if it cannot withstand the shaking of the ship, it will inevitably cause seasickness and a decrease in physical strength.

This will also lead to the reason for the continuous decline in combat effectiveness.

Cao Wenzhao had a smile on his face, and grinned, "Lord Commander, you are underestimating my old Cao."

Since the Battle of Golden State, have you ever had problems commanding the navy? ”

Seeing that Cao Wenzhao let go of himself, Zhao Zongwu scolded with a smile: "It didn't appear!" ”

"That's it!" Cao Wenzhao immediately responded: "The foundation of the navy's strength lies in the soldiers, if the officers and men of the navy have not made a serious choice, then how will such a navy have combat effectiveness?"

The last general and others will devote their minds to the selection of soldiers, this is not that the last general is a turtle!

The foundation of a strong navy is soldiers, but the strength of a strong navy needs to be guaranteed by leading ships and weapons.

However, at this stage, the situation in Donghai Town, if you want to arrange the capital ship of Fuchuan to be in place as soon as possible, this is not a realistic existence.

Therefore, according to the ships and ships that are owned at this stage, we will first select qualified naval officers and soldiers, and concentrate all our forces to form two excellent mobile fleet groups!

Make sure that in the face of unexpected situations, my Liaodong Royal Navy can cope with everything! ”

If you want to say that you are capable, you are indeed capable.

As a veteran army general, Cao Wenzhao, who was born halfway, is indeed not easy to have such an experience in such a short period of time.

Navy building is fundamentally different from army building.

The navy has extremely high requirements for the basic business capabilities of officers and men, and if its own business capabilities are not strong, in this small space, after encountering an absolute disaster, it is possible for anything to happen.

Therefore, in order to avoid such a situation, then at the beginning, to form a fleet group related to the Navy, it is necessary to be careful and careful, serious and serious!

Don't look at Daming's very unfriendly attitude towards the group of craftsmen, but on the other hand, I have to sigh that the wisdom of Daming craftsmen is indeed invincible.

The world's leading shipbuilding technology, although it failed to allow the Daming sailors to go out of the offshore sea and gallop into the open sea, but the great pirate forces hidden in the southeast also confirmed the strength of the sea ships from the side!

After all, in naval warfare at this stage, it is not a kind of cruiser missiles, strategic missiles, etc., that are bombing indiscriminately, and the slightest carelessness will cause the ship to be destroyed and people killed!

You shoot me, I'll shoot you!

Look at whose ship artillery is fast and whose ships are strong in resisting attacks, it also means whose naval fleet is strong!

And these are all things that need to be backed up by powerful technology!

But Zhao Zongwu wants to shorten such a development time, and the Age of Discovery will not wait for anyone!
