Chapter Eighty-Six: Changes in Chengshan Military Port
Chengshan Military Port, as the birthplace of the Han army, although the main force of the Han army has moved to Rongcheng, but it is still lively here, it was originally a temporary military village, and now it has gradually developed into a small bazaar, with more than 40,000 residents, or it will take a few years, and it will become a town here.

If it was half a year ago, there would definitely not be so many people here, because at that time, the Dongying people were raging, and the people's lives were not guaranteed, but now it is different, the establishment of the Han army has brought vitality to the Chengshan Military Port, especially the 15,000 Chengshan Shui Division stationed here, which gave the people a lot of confidence in their hearts.
The large-scale conscription of the Han army, for the naval division, Liu Chen also made a great determination, and formed a regimental structure, that is, 15,000 sailor soldiers, not including the boatmen used for rowing, if these are also counted, this naval division alone has a scale of more than 20,000 people.
Originally, Li Xin's Panshi Battalion was stationed here, but later transferred to Rongcheng, Li Xin was promoted to the regiment commander, commanding 15,000 soldiers, the original Panshi Battalion has been fully established, and it still belongs to one of the three battalions under Li Xin, but the battalion commander has become Du Hong, a fierce general under Li Guang.
Considering that there were mostly sailors on the side of Chengshan Military Port, and the land force was weak, Liu Chen simply made a big move and asked Situ Jiannan to come here with the newly established guard battalion, and while training, he was responsible for the security matters here.
If it was before, Liu Chen's power was limited and he could no longer rule the region's comprehensive garrison army, but now it is different, Liu Chen has 130,000 armor under his command, and how big is the land occupied by the Han army? The distance within a radius of 500 miles is manchu, and within this range, almost every sixty or seventy miles is a battalion of troops stationed, so that to a large extent, the army is closely connected and it is convenient to support.
For the development of the sailor, Liu Chen also spent a lot of financial resources, on the one hand, he was facing the threat of the sailor of the Dongying Empire in the far east at any time, on the other hand, Liu Chen also wanted to build an invincible armada, the territory of the Donglong Empire and the Chinese world is no different, if there is an invincible armada, then the Han army will be able to threaten all the coastal provinces of the entire Donglong Empire, which is conducive to the development of the Han army.
Since the battle with the Dongying Naval Division, the Chengshan Landscape Division has also won a long period of development, the original warship, after the First World War, there are only four left, after the situation stabilized, Liu Chen found a lot of craftsmen to build ships, five months, a total of six warships were successfully built, in addition to two ships that are twice as large as the warship.
These two huge ships were not used for fighting, Liu Chen named them transport ships, mainly for transporting soldiers, and each transport ship could carry a thousand soldiers.
Five months to build so many warships, for the Han army is a big progress, at least the combat troops of the naval division have been armed with ten warships, the soldiers are also properly trained, if there is another invasion of the Dongying, as long as the opponent's warships are ten to fifteen, the Han army sailors can fight head-on, without continuing to focus on defense.
Standing on the seashore of Chengshan Military Port, Liu Chen was full of pride in his heart, a year ago, he just came to this world, almost nothing, but in just one year, not only has a large territory, but also has 130,000 armor soldiers, all of this is like a dream-like presentation, which is impossible to achieve in the Chinese world, but here, he has the capital to dominate the world!
"Brother Chen, the speed of the development of the sailor division is also very fast, ten warships, this is not much different from the Chengshan Landscape Master back then!" Master Li was on the side and said to Liu Chen with a smile.
On the other side of Liu Chen stood a middle-aged man wearing brocade clothes and embroidered gold edges, who looked to be in his forties, with an inexplicable aura flowing all over his body, as long as he was a person who had practiced martial arts, most of them could see that he was extraordinary.
This middle-aged man is the acquired extreme realm powerhouse that Liu Chen found in Rongcheng, although he is in his fifties, he looks much younger on the outside, this person's name is Tang Long, and he is now one of the protectors of the Jinyi Guard under Liu Chen.
The Jinyi Guard is the power created by Liu Chen for the Shadow Dragon Guard, which is divided into three levels, one is the silver-robed Jinyi Guard, only the acquired strong can join, the second is the Golden Robe Protector, the least strength is the acquired extreme can be held, and the third level is the Purple Robe Elder, only the strong people of the innate level can serve, and now the Jinyi Guard, there are five silver-robed Jinyi Guards and Tang Long, the gold-robed protector.
Hearing Master Li's words, Liu Chen smiled slightly and said: "In the past few months, the water division has not fought, and the development is naturally rapid, but I just don't know what the combat effectiveness is, let's go, let's go to the Chengshan Market first." ”
This time Liu Chen came out, and there was only one Tang Long outside of Master Li, and his purpose was to come to Chengshan Military Port to see the situation of the water division, of course, this is only the purpose on the surface, and there is another purpose, which is that he wants to find Old Man Li Mu!
The periphery of the bazaar is a newly erected wooden wall, the wooden wall of the Han army to block the Dongying people has long been demolished, because the scale of the development of the bazaar is too fast, the original area is far from enough, there are four militia guards outside the market gate, they do not belong to the regular army of the Han army, but they can also receive a military reward, but not much, they participate in training while farming, as long as the war needs, they can quickly become an army.
There are many such militias in the territory of the Han army, after all, it is almost the limit for the regular army of the Han army to maintain at 130,000, so there are still some who have not succeeded in joining the Han army, so that they can not let the load of the Han army be too large, but also effectively maintain the soldiers, conservatively estimated, such militia is at least about 50,000, that is, if the war is really tight, in a short time, the Han army can pull up a well-trained army of 50,000.
Walking into the bazaar, a wooden house is presented in front of the eyes of the three people, in the middle is a main road that can accommodate ten war horses side by side, the wooden houses are distributed on both sides and the back, there are many stalls on the side of the road, there are fabrics, seafood, grain, etc., which seems to have signs of development to the city.
At this moment, it is the morning time, there are a lot of pedestrians on the road, and the trading transactions are also very lively, looking at the smiles on the faces of the people, Liu Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart, a year ago, these people were thinking about how to escape the slaughter of the Dongying people, who would have thought that such a market would be established?
"I must let these people continue to live like this carefree life!" Liu Chen said secretly in his heart.
