Chapter 379 New Water Army

The system has been upgraded for more than a year, and ten sailors are synthesized every day, Gao Shun has accumulated nearly 4,000 people, and the naval facilities such as ports and docks have already been built, and now he is ready to form a naval army.

Gao Shun built the naval military port in Luocheng, Le'an County, which is a large deep-water harbor with the Bohai Sea to the east; The thing is long and easy to defend; The north and south are very wide, and many warships can be parked; The north of the harbor is the Yellow River, and the south is the Jishui River, which is not easy to be attacked by the enemy on a large scale.

At the same time, administrative adjustments were made, and the territory south of the Yellow River in Pingyuan County was assigned to Jinan State, and the territory north of the Yellow River in Le'an County was assigned to Pingyuan County.

Outside the Gaotang City of Jinan, a naval port and wharf were built by the Yellow River; Now it is under the direct command of Qingzhou Mu Fangliang and is garrisoned by the officers and soldiers of the system.

Fang Liang was responsible for the excavation of the canal from Luocheng Port to Jishui, as well as the canal connecting Jishui and the Yellow River, facilitating the entry and exit of the navy army, and strengthening the management of the Yellow River's navigation.

A large shipyard was built in the port of Naseong, and system craftsmen carried out shipbuilding and sail making according to the drawings.

In the eastern county where Zhang Liao was stationed, the focus was on the construction of Baimadu and Cangtingdu, the construction of wharves, warehouses, etc., and then as a material transit base, transported by water, it will be more convenient, time-saving and labor-saving, and the transportation volume is large.

In mid-July, Gao Shun, under the protection of the senior cavalry of Yiqu, came to Luocheng Port.

In Luocheng, Gao Shun released all the sailors.

What made Gao Shun happy was that there was a naval governor, immediately check its attributes, Gao Wei, 20 years old, the four attributes of force value, intelligence, politics, and commander are all 91, and the importance exceeds that of Fang Liang, Zhou Fei and others.

Looking at his appearance carefully, his facial features are marked, his complexion is white and tender, slightly green, but his figure is more than eight feet, similar to Fang Liang and others, slightly shorter than Li Qiang and Ma Gui, and he is already very burly.

The other personnel are equipped according to the 500-ton warship, each ship is equipped with 52 people, mainly operators, can also be used as combat personnel, all are accustomed to water, can not only fight on the water, but also on land, Gao Shun feels very worthwhile.

The largest ship now made, with a load of 500 tons, with a hard sail, can be used as both a merchant ship and a war ship; There are also ships of four hundred, three hundred and one hundred tons.

The 500-ton ship is 50 meters long, the front tip is cocked to reduce the resistance of the water, the ship tower is tall and mighty, equipped with a strong crossbow on the top, which can condescendingly strike the enemy ship or the enemy, and the space below the deck is very large, which can transport both materials and personnel.

This kind of warship is equipped with 52 people in peacetime and can be used as a merchant ship; In wartime, it can load combat crews.

Gao Shun was very pleased with these warships and sailors; He appointed Gao Wei as the governor of the navy, fully responsible for the management of the navy, and the territory under his jurisdiction was the military port, the canal, the Gaotang naval wharf, as well as the ferry and transportation safety from the Yellow River to the Wei River, and the shipping in the Bohai Sea from Luocheng Port to Donglai County, to Youzhou and Pingzhou.

Due to the large number of sailors and the lack of warships, Gao Shun purchased 50 500-ton warships from the system according to Gao Wei's plan and equipped all the sailors.

Subsequently, 3,000 senior infantry, 3,000 junior cavalry, and 10,000 junior infantry were left behind to protect the military port and docks, under the command of Gao Wei.

Gao Shun did not question Gao Wei's ability, completely trusted, and gave him all the command power to play by him; Gao Shun had no contact with ships and water transportation in his previous life, so he had to leave this aspect of the work to someone who knew how to manage.

Gao Wei first sent ships to familiarize themselves with the routes to Youzhou, Pingzhou, and Donglai County according to the charts.

The port of Qixian County in Liaodong County, Pingzhou and the port of Huangxian County in Donglai County have already been completed, and they are only waiting for the warships to move in, which will greatly strengthen the relationship with Qingzhou and promote the development of Pingzhou.

Gao Shun took a boat to Jinan Guoli City; Gao Wei accompanied him, and he had to lead the warships to Gaotang, Cangting, Baima and other ferries and naval wharves to arrange the warships to defend and garrison, and regularly patrol the river to maintain safety.

The fleet departed from the port of Luocheng, crossed the canal, and sailed into Jishui.

Since the hard sail is available in eight winds, it is very convenient and very fast.

When the fleet arrived at the Licheng Jishui Wharf, it immediately attracted thousands of spectators to visit, and the ship was spectacular.

Fang Liang has already prepared, Licheng Luokou Wharf has been built, and the opening ceremony will be held after the arrival of the fleet and Gao Shun.

According to the plan, Luokou Wharf will be the most important port in Qingzhou, and it is also a hub wharf connecting Yanzhou, Jizhou and Sili; Through Luoshui, the 300-ton ship can go directly to the west of Licheng County.

Fang Liang also plans to build a number of wharves along the coast of Qingzhou to facilitate the transfer and transportation of materials and personnel.

Gao Shun and Gao Wei stepped off the warship, and Fang Liang, Yu Ban and others, who had been waiting for a long time, stepped forward and saluted, "Meet the lord!" ”

Gao Shun was very happy, very satisfied with Luokou Wharf, and said with a smile: "Haha, you don't need to be polite, this is Gao Wei, the governor of the navy, Gao Hongtu." ”

He also introduced Fang Liang and Yu Ban to Gao Wei.

"I've seen the Grand Duke!"

"I've seen Fang Zhoumu!" Gao Wei immediately returned the gift, Luocheng Port is on the boundary of Qingzhou, and it will be indispensable to trouble Fang Liang in the future, and build a good relationship in advance.

And Fang Liang also wants to use the power of the navy to develop Qingzhou in the future, especially the new cargo ship with sails from the shipyard, which is very advanced and especially suitable for maritime trade, so he also hopes to befriend Gao Wei.

Everyone was shocked that the age of the Metropolitan Governor Gao Wei was so young, and they really didn't know where the lord Gao Shun found so many young and handsome talents.

Seeing the burly and majestic sailors on the ship, everyone was even more excited, the stronger the strength of the lord Gao Shun, the stronger Qingzhou would be, the safer they were, and they would never fall into the war in Yanzhou, Yuzhou and other places.

Gao Wei is very easy-going, after meeting with everyone, invited Fang Liang and others to board the ship to visit, Qingzhou's big merchants were also invited, especially the Mi family, is the focus of attention, whether it is Gao Shun or Fang Liang, they attach great importance to the relationship with the Mi family.

Everyone was shocked by the advanced nature of this big boat, which could walk on the water on its own without manpower paddling, saving manpower, saving consumption, and freeing up load and space; And this ship is so big, it must be able to transport a lot of supplies.

Both military officers and merchants are looking forward to this kind of ship.

Gao Shun had already ordered that this kind of ship would not be sold to the outside world, and could only be taken care of by the system sailors, for fear that the technology would be spread.

It is not sold to the outside world, which makes the merchants very disappointed, but this kind of ship can speed up the circulation of materials, the speed is fast, the transportation volume is large, stable and safe, the voyage is long, there are many places to go, and it is good to be able to rent.

After visiting the 500-ton warship, Fang Liang presided over the grand opening ceremony of the wharf.

With a naval army, after being familiar with the water and chart routes, Gao Shun planned to develop the south and implement his strategic goal of occupying the four sides.
