Two years, although it is not enough for Zhao Xin to build a modern city in Dinghai, but with hard work, there is already a prototype of a huge city, which is a city full of industrialization and is also a city with a large population.

In feudal society, the national strength is supported by the land area, generally speaking, the relatively large country, the national strength is always stronger, the reason is that the feudal society land is the foundation, everything, the original origin is the land.

But in a higher industrialized society, this is different, land is not a necessity, on the contrary, the ability to industrialize and the market for raw materials are the key.

The Dinghai Navy is like this, the industrialized Dinghai Navy has an industrial capacity that the feudal society cannot imagine, and the speed of mobilizing resources is very fast.

Needless to say, in addition to leaving the necessary defensive forces, there are about 1,000 mobile troops, and the remaining 2,000 people will be drawn out for this war.

Zhao Xin's approach to the Dinghai Navy was similar to the militia system in later China, in which workers were the best choice of soldiers compared to peasants.

In modern armies, the strength of the individual is no longer the focus, the longbow already has some rudiments of thermal weapons, as long as the training is rigorous, not even considering accuracy, as long as it is aimed at a certain angle and attacks according to certain forces.

This is much worse than picking up a gun and shooting, but it is also easier than an average archer, plus the longbow is more labor-saving, in fact, the training of the army, has been weakened.

At the time of the Baozhou Mutiny, all the people from peasant backgrounds were able to look like each other after a month or two of training, let alone the workers.

If you make a mistake, you are not delaying yourself, but a group of people, and the production of the whole group of people will be affected.

These peasants were very unaccustomed at first, but with various systems, incentives, and other promotions, they eventually became the qualified workers they are now.

Discipline is the characteristic of modern soldiers, a team of disciplined soldiers, can be under the orders of the instructor, aimed at a certain aspect, the warriors who attack, is the longbow team, the most qualified soldiers, this is beyond doubt.

Not to mention, in order to strengthen the strength of the Dinghai Navy, the Dinghai Navy also chose 10 days and 2 hours of military training, this training is only the simplest, from the queue, to the longbow shooting training, but after accumulation, the entire Dinghai Navy, the earliest batch of workers, or more than 72 hours of training.

It is 6 days, but not every army can train for a long time a day, according to 6 hours a day, it is almost 12 days, plus the training things, in private groping and understanding, the actual effect is very good.

A part of the militia that is a little more elite can become an army as long as they add a little more experienced soldiers.

It seems that the entire Dinghai Navy adds up to an army of only a few thousand people, but as long as you want, it can be expanded to 20,000 or even 30,000 at any time.

In the future, in the Ryukyus, it is definitely necessary to divert and station troops, with the Ryukyus, an island in the depths of the sea, some things can be transferred to the past, including a part of the army, then, on such a basis, expanding the army has become an inevitable choice.

Dingjun is too small, although Zhao Xin also knows that now, the entire center, the understanding of Dingjun, is only in money, being able to do business, and making money.

I didn't realize that the Dinghai Navy controls such a huge productive force, has money, resources, production capacity, and even more people, as long as they want, they may burst out at any time with sufficient combat effectiveness.

The policy of the militia, hiding soldiers from the people, and the huge factories, as long as they are well trained, will become a continuous supply of soldiers, which has been finally proved by countless experiences in later generations.

Direct transfer, there is no need for this for the time being, and Zhao Xin does not want to expand too many troops now, but it is still possible to select about 4,000 people from among the workers to become professional soldiers.

At the same time, in the militia sequence, there is also a selection, for example, from the original 10 days and 2 hours, to 10 days and 6 hours, an increase of almost three times, of course, this kind of training, not all people, is the best of the militia can enjoy.

It probably accounts for about 10% of the total number of militias, and the workload affected by this part of the personnel can also be adjusted, and the militia will enjoy some benefits, such as reducing workload and increasing subsidies, so that in the future, when the army is expanded on a large scale, it will not be untargeted.

Now, 2,000 personnel have been transferred in place, all kinds of materials have been taken out directly from the warehouses of the Dinghai Navy, the entire ordnance has been calculated, as well as all kinds of supplies, and even some of the materials needed for follow-up support have been taken into account after the Ryukyus may suffer a devastating blow.

In the end, this data was reported, and a total of about 60,000 materials were needed.

This is not a small number, before, on the Dinghai to Ryukyu waterway, there were about 4,000 ships sailing, these ships, among the sea ships, are already quite large, but they are not the largest.

Now, the Dinghai Navy has started a large-scale shipbuilding campaign, if this battle, two months later, the Dinghai Navy already has enough transport forces, then there is no problem, but now, no, the only warship, is the one with 10,000 materials, still doing some final repairs, in time for this battle, but what about the rest?

The plan had already been established, and the maritime merchants would not be allowed to know the news of the Ryukyus development casually in case of unnecessary trouble, but now of course it is impossible to find the maritime merchants to determine the existing transportation strength of the navy, and it is impossible to use about 500 ships to make up enough for this fleet.

Not only is the boat very slow, but it is also more likely to encounter danger, and problems can arise in case of a little rough wind and waves during the voyage.

However, the newly appointed head of the port area, who lost to Zhou Chong's Wang Xue in the competition for the Ryukyus, solved this problem.

Wang Xue's quality is not low, he is almost as strong as Zhou Chong, in a similar situation, losing is only a small margin, it can be said that the difference is a millimeter.

After losing to Zhou Zhong, he was not discouraged, this was not all the chance, Ryukyu had not started construction yet, this was just the beginning, and it may not necessarily fail.

After Zhou Zhong stepped down as the head of the port area, Wang Xue took over and gave a solution on the premise that some structures were not smooth.

Since the ships of the maritime merchants cannot be trusted, they should be rented well, which is different from the previous transportation charter, but more thoroughly, and the entire ship is rented.

In this case, in some small boats, river boats, often occur, some people do not have a boat, will choose to rent someone else's boat, such a price, than the freight, only many times and a long time, is not a loss.

For a small boat with a few hundred materials, such a charter result is more suitable, but for a large sea ship, it is not so suitable, not only to pay a rent higher than the transportation cost, but also to need some mortgage.

The ship is a high-priced thing, once it is lost, it cannot be saved, there is no mortgage, it is leased to you for nothing, so is it possible?

This in itself is a limitation, and even Zhao Xin, including Zhao Xin, did not take this problem into account because of the deviation of consciousness, but Wang Xue thought of it.

Now, in order to urgently rescue the Ryukyus, what the Dinghai Navy lacks is only transportation capacity, and the maritime merchants have been removed for the sake of secrecy, but is there still a Dinghai.

The high freight is a rescue, and it will take more than a month at most before and after, giving these maritime merchants 3 times or even 4 times the freight, what's the problem, it's no problem.

Mortgage is even less of a problem, the Dinghai Navy monopolized the commerce and trade of the entire Northern Song Dynasty, and there is such a terrible weapon as the Dinghai coin, is there a shortage of money, there is no shortage at all, just take out some collateral.

At the same time, the Dinghai Navy does not have the means of proliferation survey, which will provide them with a lot of protection for their ocean voyages, such as the ability to quickly measure in wind and waves, or under harsh conditions, which will make the navigation safer and more reliable than renting a maritime business.

This problem was solved in this way, and the contact with maritime merchants was also quite smooth, and it was impossible for everyone to like the navy, but there were always accommodating, the largest sea ships, because of the preciousness of the sea ships, even if Wang Xue said it well, he did not agree, and in the end it was not successful, but the smaller ones were still no problem.

For the sake of safety, Wang Xue chose 12 sea vessels, the largest is about 18,000 materials, and the smallest one has more than 9,000 materials, with a total tonnage of more than 140,000 materials, which can be regarded as a huge fleet.

When this result was reported to Zhao Xin, Zhao Xin also sighed, he really missed this, he always thought that the capacity of the Dinghai Navy was insufficient, and because of the secrecy, there was no way to fully open the transportation, just a sea ship of thousands of materials, supporting this transportation.

Now it seems that this is a huge mistake, and the early chartering of this batch of sea ships will determine the strength of the navy, at least in such a short period of time, to transport a large amount of supplies to the Ryukyus, and this total number will be more than 20 times that of the current one.

In this way, not only will the number of vanguard troops increase to about 1,500, but the construction of buildings will also be 10 times that of the current one.

In that case, even if there is an encounter with the natives, there is no problem, and the troops of more than 1,000 people, even if there are a large number of natives and rely on a large number of defenses, are enough to deal with it.

There were some regrets, but it didn't affect Zhao Xin's mood, now, everything is unknown, the possibility of the natives breaking through the settlement of the Dingjun Navy is only very small, but just such a small opportunity, Zhao Xin is not willing to give it.

The requirement itself is 60,000 materials, which is almost 20,000 tons according to calculation, plus personnel and equipment, which is not small for a team of 2,000 people.

In this case, the demand for military rations will be reduced, but the other parts have not been reduced much, plus all kinds of materials, in order to prevent the destruction of the settlement, 60,000 materials, which are basically enough, but cannot be called generous.

140,000 materials are different, not only the total supplies have more than doubled, but also a large number of ships, although these ships cannot be refitted, but the Ding Navy also has a warship, 10,000 materials, can also be partially supported, as long as it arrives in the Ryukyus, it will definitely play a great role.

The transaction has been completed, and the resources of the port area itself are enough to rent these ships, and even on the mortgage, Wang Xue did not use the collateral, but directly gave the money, and even promised that as long as there was damage, the navy would be responsible and get them a boat before the monsoon season arrived.

It may not be bigger than this one, but it will be enough to support the oceans, and it will give them enough products to ensure that they get enough profits.

Only a force like the navy can offer conditions like this, especially for ships, which has a huge effect, and the reason why they don't support them is that they are afraid of the loss of ships.

For maritime merchants of this level, the ship represents profit, as long as there is a ship, they put on and filled with various products of the Northern Song Dynasty, as long as they transport these things back, they can obtain huge benefits, once lost, it is equivalent to losing a year's time.

Now that the Dinghai Navy has given a guarantee, it may not be possible to get the original ship, but the Dinghai Navy has small and expensive things, as long as the profit is guaranteed, come over next year, and then compensate for the money, which is also an acceptable thing.

The transportation capacity of 140,000 materials, converted into more than 40,000 tons, this is a huge amount in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the increased ones, not only in armaments, but also in many building materials, since they are rented, then make it bigger, increase the strength of the Dinghai Navy in the Ryukyus, and speed up development.

From a military point of view, the plan to send troops began to shift, and has gradually shifted to economic and development, and finally after adjustment, a large number of building materials have been determined, and then, once the situation in the Ryukyus is stabilized, the development of the Ryukyus will definitely change again on the basis of the present.

There are about 80,000 more materials, which is a huge number, and in the Northern Song Dynasty, I am afraid it is impossible to withdraw so many materials in a short time, but for the Ding Navy, this is no problem at all, according to the original plan, there is not even a little delay.

Saving soldiers is like fighting fire, what happens thousands of miles away, no one knows what will happen, even if it sets off now, it will be half a month before it arrives, and if you can reduce the time, you will reduce the time, which is very critical for the current Ryukyus.
