After the reorganization of the army, the next thing is the navy, Zhu Cijiong has always attached great importance to the construction of the navy, because this era is the Age of Discovery, no matter how strong the land power is, it is fake, as long as the powers control the sea, open up colonies everywhere, and loot wealth, even if they are smashed with silver, they can smash you down!

It can be said that the battle for hegemony at sea is the theme of this era, but the Ming Dynasty implemented a sea ban for more than 100 years due to the ravages of the Japanese invaders, and the naval strength shrank sharply.

Fortunately, although the Ming navy is weak, but the foundation of shipbuilding is still there, and the construction of super battleships after the artillery technology keeps up is not a problem at all, after several years of development, the strength of the Ming navy has grown explosively, and it already has 100 super battleships, more than 1,000 Fuchuan warships, nearly 3,000 small warships of all kinds, and three giant ships of the Jumbo class, which can be said to have the strength to compete for hegemony at sea with the great powers.

Moreover, under the auspices of Zhu Cijiong, the shipbuilding industry of Daming has also developed rapidly, and the shipyard in Dongdaying has reached the capacity of producing 100 super battleships and five treasure ships per year, and now is the end of the year, and this year's 100 super battleships and five treasure ships will be delivered soon, which is a good time to reorganize the navy.

In Zhu Cijiong's planning, the naval corps is also divided into three classes, but now there are only two first-class regiments of the Nanyang Naval Division and the Beiyang Naval Division, and the second-class regiment and the third-class regiment are blank, but the 300,000 newly recruited naval troops can basically operate warships after more than two years of training, so Zhu Cijiong decided to reorganize it into three third-class regiments, and he is also ready to form another naval reserve corps, as for the main general, he can only be promoted in the Nanyang Naval Division and the Beiyang Naval Division, after a period of careful consideration, The reorganization plan of the Ming Navy has finally been released.

First of all, all the newly produced 100 super battleships will be equipped to the Nanyang Naval Division and the Beiyang Naval Division, so that the two naval divisions have 100 super battleships and form a super fleet of pure battleships, as for the eliminated Fuchuan battleships, they will be used to form a third-class regiment, and the names Zhu Cijiong has also thought of it, which are the North Sea Fleet, the East China Sea Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet, and the five newly produced super battleships will be allocated to the five fleet commanders as flagships, and another 100,000 recruits will be recruited as reserve regiments and stationed in the Nanda Battalion for training, The specific personnel and equipment configuration is as follows:

The Beiyang Naval Division of the First Class Army, the commander is a five-star admiral Huang Long, with 50,000 artillery and 50,000 sailors, equipped with a treasure ship giant ship, 100 super battleships, each artillery is equipped with a revolver and two grenades, and the sailors are each equipped with a revolver rifle and five grenades.

The Nanyang Naval Division of the First Class Army, the commander is Zheng Yipin's five-star admiral Zheng Zhihu, with 50,000 artillery and 50,000 sailors, equipped with a treasure ship giant ship, 100 super battleships, each artillery is equipped with a revolver and two grenades, and the sailors are each equipped with a revolver rifle and five grenades.

The North Sea Fleet of the Third Class Corps, the commander is Admiral Yang Geng, 10,000 artillerymen, 90,000 sailors, equipped with a treasure ship giant ship, 500 Fuchuan warships, 1,000 other small warships, each artilleryman is equipped with a revolver, two grenades, and each sailor is equipped with a 24-type flintlock pistol and five grenades.

The commander of the East China Sea Fleet of the Third Class Corps, Admiral Chen Hui, has 10,000 artillery soldiers, 90,000 sailors, one treasure ship, 500 Fuchuan warships, and 1,000 other small warships, each artilleryman is equipped with a revolver and two grenades, and the sailors are each equipped with a 24-type flintlock pistol and five grenades.

The South China Sea Fleet of the Third Class Army, the commander of the South China Sea Fleet, is Zheng Sanpin, 10,000 sailors, 10,000 artillerymen, 90,000 sailors, equipped with a treasure ship giant ship, 500 Fuchuan warships, 1,000 other small warships, each artillery is equipped with a revolver, two grenades, and each sailor is equipped with a 24-type flintlock pistol and five grenades.

The reserve corps of the naval division, the commander of the three-product one-star general Zheng Ming, with 50,000 artillery and 50,000 sailors, is stationed at the Nandaying Naval Division base to train the operation of muskets, artillery and battleships and is responsible for the garrison of all the forts and batteries in the southeast defense line.

After the reorganization, the Ming Navy will show the prototype of the invincible navy, of course, there is still a certain gap from the real invincibility, according to the overall strength of the Ming Navy after the reorganization is roughly the same as the current Dutch Navy, or even a little worse.

Of course, this is not counting the colonial expansion, if the Ming Dynasty begins colonial expansion, it must send a fleet to garrison the colony, and at that time, the warships are scattered all over the world, and this warship is equivalent to nothing, because according to the current sailing speed, the fleet sent out can come back in half a year, and if there is any battle, it can't be counted on at all.

There is such a fatal problem in the Age of Discovery, if you don't go to open up the colony, then you can only stay at home and watch people grab money, watch people grow, and in the end they will trample you under your feet, if you go to open up the colony, you will have to garrison warships everywhere, and the number of warships will never seem to be enough!

This problem seemed to be a terminal disease that could not be solved in the period of sail power, you must know that in the heyday of the Netherlands there were more than 15,000 ocean-going ships of all kinds, which was three times the total number of ships of other countries in the world, and they were still defeated by Britain and France!

Of course, the Ming Dynasty is different from the Netherlands, because the Netherlands has another fatal flaw, that is, their population is too small, and the current shipbuilding capacity of the Netherlands should be far beyond the Ming Dynasty, because they only became independent in 1588, and now it has only been less than 50 years to build more than 10,000 large ships that can sail to the sea, which proves that they can build at least more than 200 large ships every year, so why do they have so few super battleships?

The main reason is that they are too few, at that time the entire country of the Netherlands only had a total of more than one million people, if more than 10,000 are super battleships, what will be the situation, a super battleship can have more than 100 cannons, artillery alone needs three or four hundred people, and other sailing ships need at least 100 people, so it is useless for the Netherlands to move all the people in the country to the super battleships! So they can only maintain the number of two or three hundred super battleships, and no matter how much they build, no one will control them.

Of course, Daming does not have this problem, according to the current number of Daming's navy, it is more than enough to control a thousand super battleships, now it is only a matter of time, Daming needs time to accumulate the number of warships, as long as Daming is given ten years, it is not impossible for the navy to be invincible!
