Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was late October of the fourth year of Jianxing, when the land of Youyan gradually felt the biting chill, and the officers and soldiers of the naval division who were far away in the Zhuya base were still enjoying the sunny days.

After nearly two months of busy work, the sailor has basically gained a firm foothold in Yizhou and Zhuya. With the arrival of a large number of materials on the two islands, Liaodong, with indigenous people as the main laborers, is seizing the time to build the two major ports of Sanya and Keelung.

In order to adapt to the development of the situation, Wei Shuo proposed that the Liaodong Naval Division be unified and reorganized, and his proposal was supported by the high-level of the General's Office.

It is said that the Liaodong Army has undergone many reorganizations, but the sailor has never had the same experience.

There is an unwritten saying within the Liaodong Army that reorganization means great development!

Therefore, all branches of the armed forces are looking forward to being reorganized, and today this good thing is finally the turn of the sailors, and the generals of the sailors headed by Liu Zong and Wang Wei are all overjoyed.

Compared with the army generals who are full of talents, the sailor generals who only have two or three cats are really a little bit out of their hands.

Fortunately, a group of talents have graduated from the Lushun Sailor School this year, but it is far from being able to quench the thirst of the near, and the current sailor can only rely on Mr. Liu and Wang Wei for the time being.

It is also strange to say that the Wei and Jin dynasties in history were the era of great development of ancient sailors, but there were very few sailor generals who really stood out. Although most of the generals represented by Jiangdong are proficient in the art of water and land warfare, there are few who mix with the world as sailor generals.

"I intend to merge the two naval divisions of Laoshan and Liaodong into one, and unify them as the Liaodong Naval Division, with two fleets under its jurisdiction, namely the Nanyang Fleet and the Native Fleet. The Nanyang Fleet is dominated by two county-class Fu ships, Liaodong and Changli, and 100 medium-sized and above sand ships, and its main task is to protect Liaodong's interests in the South Seas. ”

"The Nanyang Fleet is home to Keelung and Sanya, which are under construction, and its scope of activities includes the entire Nanyang waters."

"The local fleet is based on 3,000 Xiasha ships adapted to coastal operations as the main flagship, accompanied by Mengchong and fighting ships, mainly in Laoshan, Lushun, Jeju and other places as its home port, and its scope of activity is in the vast sea areas east of the Chinese mainland to Sanhan and Wadao."

Lu Changgang, the director of the Military Division, listened to Wei Shuo's distribution plan, and suddenly showed a strange look on his face, and couldn't help but laugh and joke: "Lord, your share is too unfair!" The strength of the home fleet is far lower than that of the Nanyang Fleet, aren't you afraid that in the future, the two commanders of the two naval divisions, Liu and Wang, will fight for the Nanyang Fleet? ”

"Huh? Hahaha...... "The others burst into laughter when they heard this.

"Ahem...... Hehe...... Ahem! ”

Wei Shuo laughed and coughed a few times, and waited for his breath to calm down before explaining: "At present, the strength of the Liaodong Naval Division is not good, and because the situation in the South Seas cannot be delayed, we can only temporarily take the South Ocean Fleet first. If the strength of the two fleets is balanced by taking care of the emotions of the generals, it will definitely affect the Nanyang War next year. ”

"And the home fleet is only responsible for the operation of the coastal sea and inland rivers at the moment, not to mention that the lucky ships are not needed, even the sand ships above the medium level cannot operate freely in the inland rivers, on the contrary, the ships below 3,000 materials are the most suitable for the home fleet. Of course, after the development of the naval division in the future, the home fleet will also be expanded. ”

"In order to facilitate command, I will also renovate the current official positions of the naval division, and newly establish the three-level official positions of commander, pipe band, and captain to be in charge of the fleet, detachment, and warships, and the original position of the commander of the naval division has been changed to the chief officer in charge of the bases of the naval division."

"I propose that Admiral Liu be the commander of the Nanyang Fleet, Admiral Wang Wei will be the commander of the local fleet, and the pipe bands and captains of the sub-fleets under their jurisdiction, as well as the commanders of the port bases such as Keelung, Lushun, Qingdao, and Sanya, all of which will be filled by cadets who have graduated from the Naval Academy."

"After the completion of the reorganization of the naval division, Mr. Liu quickly led the Nanyang Fleet south."

……

Li Zhao, the new leader of the first squadron of the Nanyang Fleet, looked at the hot scene in the port and asked, "This is Sanya Port?" ”

"Yes, Sanya is bordered by high mountains in the north and the sea in the south, and the terrain gradually slopes from north to south, forming a long and narrow polygonal shape, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the whole port faces the entire South China Sea to the south, and the terrain is dangerous. In addition, Sanya has a good climate, and it is still warm as spring when it is icy and snowy in the north. ”

"Lord Guanband, the reason why the lord values Sanya is because its strategic position is very important, and with Sanya Port Liaodong, it can effectively deter Nanyang. Although there are many Shanyue natives living in this place, because of their heavy losses in Soochow, they are no longer able to threaten the safety of Sanya, but many Shanyue people are forced to work in Sanya port for their livelihood. ”

"I said, how come there are so many indigenous people working? I thought it was you who were captive, but they were all hired people! Those Shanyue people look quite honest, right? ”

"Adults don't know that during the Eastern Wu period, Sun Quan, the lord of Wu, in order to expand the population, had a large-scale expedition to Shanyue, and now Shanyue is no longer what it used to be. Most of the people live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and their lives are quite difficult. Otherwise, how could there be so many Shanyue people to participate in the construction of the port? ”

"Even so, don't take it lightly! Barbarians have never known what kindness and righteousness are, don't be merciful when necessary, and kill when it's time to kill! ”

"Hehe, don't worry, Li Guandai, there are soldiers stationed in the entire base, and those Shanyue barbarians will be able to work honestly, otherwise they will definitely let them know the power of our Liaodong Army!"

"You said that Liaodong was engaged in such a big battle in Zhuya, why didn't Jiangzuo in the north and Funan in the southwest react?" The Liaodong Navy Division had been engaged in a big battle in Zhuya for nearly two months, and Li Zhao didn't believe that the Funan people would not find out at all.

"How could it not have been discovered? Recently, the Funan Navy has been close to the surrounding waters from time to time to investigate, and if it weren't for the fact that it was dragged by pirates disguised by the Navy Master, I think the King of Funan would have sent a large group of sailors to come to investigate. Even Tao Kanbu on the opposite side also stationed a large number of people in Xuwen, to put it bluntly, it was used to guard against me in Liaodong. ”

"Hehe, Tao Kan in the north doesn't have to care, the main public business has reached an agreement with Jiang Zuo, even if Tao Kan wants to regret it in the future, he won't have a chance."

"The lord is really wise and martial, if it weren't for the two major ports of Sanya and Keelung, the Liaodong Naval Division would go to Nanyang to fight in the future, and it would not necessarily be able to defeat the Funan Naval Division, which occupies a favorable geographical location."

After a long voyage, the First Detachment of the Nanyang Fleet of the Liaodong Naval Division finally arrived at the Zhuya base, and 50 large and small warships carrying various supplies were stationed in Sanya Port, which had just been a little larger. At this time, Sanya was said to be a port, but in fact, except for the simple wharf, it was all a barren beach.

"The construction of the port must be accelerated, and it will be an important logistics base for Liaodong to conquer the South Seas in the future."

"Please rest assured, Lord Kui, I know this very well. In fact, since Liaodong leased Zhu Ya, the construction of Sanya can be described as three changes in one day. It's just that this place is too far away from Liaodong after all, and a large number of materials need to be transferred from Liaodong, which greatly slows down the speed of port construction. ”

Just when the Liaodong Naval Division continued to strengthen the strength of the two bases of Zhuya and Yizhou, Funan quickly took some countermeasures in the face of the aggressive offensive of the 'pirates'. In order to cope with the increasing threat of pirate attacks, Fan Yao, the king of Funan, had to order the sailors to intensify patrols in the waters of the South Seas.

"Fan Li, how did you become a sailor general? In the past few days, merchant ships in various waters of Funan have been attacked by pirates, and they have suffered heavy losses, and even domestic ports have almost been attacked. Didn't you say that you could wipe out all the pirates in a month? But now more than two months have passed, and the pirates have not been eliminated, but have become more and more intense. ”

Facing the question of the king of Funan, Fan Li, the general of the Funan Navy, wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurriedly explained: "Back to the king, the minister originally thought that those pirates were a rabble, but after the battle, he found that the pirate warship was extremely huge, and it was even more powerful than my navy warship. ”

"You're not confused, are you? I am the largest navigator in the South Seas, and I can't even compare to a little pirate? Fan Yao said with a stunned face.

"Your Majesty, the minister promises with his head that there is no intention of lying and coaxing! Each of the pirate warships looked like a small hill, and by the way, they looked as huge as the ships of the Liaodong. ”

"Liaodong?"

Fan Yao frowned when he heard this, in fact, he already had a premonition in his heart that the pirates that suddenly flooded the South Seas should be inseparable from Liaodong. I thought that Liaodong was appeased, but I didn't expect that in the end, I still had to fight a battle to decide who was the overlord of Nanyang. (To be continued.) )
