Section 256 Naval Innovation

The third volume sailed in the Ming Dynasty

With the strange eyes of the people in Dengzhou Wei, in Shen Shouchong's sonorous and slightly angry tone, Qin Haoming understood some of the situation and difficulties of Dengzhou Wei. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Mainly, it is the current situation that affects the Dengzhou Weishui Division, and there are three points caused by the bad environment.

First, the coastal guard posts were empty, and the morale of the sailors was low.

The Mariners were hereditary professional troops, and their salaries were meager, even worse than those of the Army. The monthly salary was only one stone, and in addition, he was exploited by the officers, and his life was difficult.

As a source of military salaries, the military cantonment was reduced by the encroachment of aristocratic officers, resulting in insufficient food and wages, and a large number of soldiers fled.

At the same time as the number was sharply reduced, the morale of the soldiers was low and the combat effectiveness was seriously reduced.

The soldiers have no food and clothing, they are undisciplined, the officers do not know how to fight, they only know how to exploit the soldiers, and the officers and men regard each other as enemies.

Second, the fleet is reduced and ships are damaged. The sharp reduction in the number of guards has also led to a sharp decrease in the number of naval personnel, such as the shortage of 65 percent in Dengzhou's Weishui Village.

Third, the coastal defense strategy has regressed, and the coastal defense line has shrunk.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, an offensive defensive strategy was implemented, and in response to the maritime threat from the Japanese state, the Ming Dynasty sent thousands of warships to patrol the northern and southern seas every year, that is, the so-called spring patrol and summer patrol.

First of all, the fleet patrolled the sea, alert reconnaissance and sought opportunities to destroy the enemy. When the Japanese invaders penetrated deep into the inland sea, they used the alarm communication system to concentrate the navy and the defenders of the outer islands to coordinate annihilation.

In addition, the Daming Naval Division often sent fleets to attack enemy-occupied islands and smash the bases of the Japanese invaders.

In short, annihilating the enemy at sea is the core of Daming's coastal defense strategy.

After that, the Ming court was in financial difficulties, the Ming naval division began to shrink the coastal defense line, the ocean-going fleet was recalled, the construction of large ships was stopped, the island base was abandoned, and the coastal defense line was pressed back to the coast from the far sea or even the outer ocean.

Shen Shouchong's father, Shen Yourong, served at the peak of the Dengzhou Naval Division, and today's tragic image naturally makes him heartbroken.

Therefore, he knew that this move was similar to exposing to his superiors and would offend his colleagues in the army, but he still ignored the shortcomings of it.

Qin Haoming sat in the big case of the Chinese army, listened carefully to Shen Shouchong's accusation, and sighed slightly in his heart.

Freezing three feet, not a day's cold.

The Ming court made a strategic mistake and lost a good opportunity, of course, there were various reasons. But among them, how can there be no help from these grassroots officers?

However, there are all kinds of life situations, there is corruption, there is corruption, there are always people who think about the country and the Ming Dynasty, such as Shen Shouchong in front of him.

"If you want your country to be rich and strong, you can't ignore the ocean. Wealth comes from the sea, and danger comes from the sea.

Once the king of another country captures the sea, China is in danger. The Ming fleet was once invincible, and could be used to expand trade and subdue foreign lands, so that they did not dare to covet the seas.

Now that the predicament is so much, even if the slaves are on the side, they are powerless to harass, let alone attack other lands?

This is the shame of the Daming Water Division, and I hope that all you will work together to reproduce the glory of the Daming Water Division. ”

Qin Haoming stood up suddenly, spread out his hands, and stood according to the case, his eyes swept across everyone's faces one by one.

"No! Obey Governor Qin's orders! ”

No matter what everyone thinks, no one dares to have an opposition in this joint eye.

"However, there are many ills in the water, such as fibroids in the human body, which must be eradicated in order to be revived.

The Governor may wish to make it clear that in the future, there will be many new measures for the Dengzhou Guard, which may be detrimental to all of you present, such as eating empty salaries, such as daily drills, etc.

If anyone thinks it is unbearable or has any other good place to go, please ask me when the Governor leaves in three days' time, and perhaps the Governor may arrange for a gathering and dispersal at his discretion.

But if you stay, and you want to be the same as before, then don't blame Bendu for being ruthless and unsympathetic. ”

Speaking of the back, Qin Haoming's voice was fierce, and his tone was cold and abnormal.

Extraordinary means at extraordinary times, and then think about it like in the Taiping years, hello, hello, everyone, it's just to put the head on the neck and let the tartar be like cutting leeks.

As soon as these words came out, several people in the audience hesitated, and one of them said cautiously: "Lord Qindu, you can do it without eating empty salaries."

I just practiced every day, and I was afraid that the brothers' bodies would not be able to bear it. In addition, the guns and cannons for training are expensive to wear, and I am afraid that it is also a large expense. ”

He was telling the truth, and the others nodded in agreement.

Daming has two meals a day, and the food is not to be discussed. Being able to do one exercise every three days or even one exercise every five days is already considered a strong army.

As for the daily exercises, they have never been heard of in recent years, and perhaps it was still possible in the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

"Rest assured, that since the Governor is so strict with you, it is only natural that he will have some security in terms of military supplies.

Food, equipment, clothing, and so on will certainly be paid in full or even increased.

However, in the future, the Dengzhou Navy Division will be divided into two parts: regular soldiers and auxiliary soldiers, with regular soldiers being paid two taels of silver per month and auxiliary soldiers being paid one tael of silver per month.

For each year of service, an additional five dollars of silver will be paid, and after five years, you can choose whether to continue to serve.

Regardless of whether the regular soldiers or auxiliary soldiers, they will have three meals a day to ensure that the soldiers have sufficient food, fish and meat.

Of course, the soldiers' salaries in the future will be distributed by Lu Langzhong......"

In the midst of everyone's stunned, Qin Haoming put out his future ideas for Dengzhou Wei one by one, politely and orderly.

In addition, the possibility of empty salaries for officers has been systematically cut off.

"Governor Qin, how do you choose the regular soldiers and auxiliary soldiers? How can such old and weak people be solved? Is the food provided by the Jinan Prefecture or the Xuanda Governor's Mansion? ”

This matter has already involved the specific reform of the military system, not to mention anything else, just privately raising the salaries of Dengzhou guards and soldiers is already similar to the conscription system.

Concerned about personal interests, the coastal defense guerrilla Cheng Da must ask clearly.

"General Cheng asked well!"

Qin Haoming praised casually, and then continued: "Dengzhou Weina is a military port, no matter how big or small it is, this governor will not abandon it.

However, the border is restless, and wars are raging, and since you are in the army, you will inevitably fight on the battlefield and fight for your life.

But there are many old soldiers in the army, who have the heart to kill the enemy, but they can't do it? And most of them are tired of training, and it's just a waste of their lives to go into battle!

Therefore, the governor decided to select 5,000 men from the more than 10,000 soldiers in Dengzhou Wei to form a marine corps of the Marine Division, which will be trained day and night to ensure its combat effectiveness.

As the name suggests, the Marine Corps can fight tigers in the mountains and capture Jiao in the sea, so that they can fight both water and land, and can be called elite.

Even among these 5,000 men, the Governor also decided to strive for excellence, as long as the 3,000 people who were qualified in training, and those who did not meet the qualifications, they were all incorporated into the auxiliary army.

As for food and salary, whether it is Jinan Mansion or the Governor's Palace, it must be guaranteed in both directions.

Even after the governor leaves, Lu Du will definitely carry it out resolutely, please General Cheng don't worry! ”

Qin Haoming was methodical, smiling and explaining clearly one by one.
