Chapter 106: Thunderbolt Sailors Ask for collections, ask for recommendations

The new military horn of the Perak Navy in front of the emperor was also issued to Yangzhou together with the holy decree of Emperor Lizong, and naturally there were large rewards and official photos of the generals of the Perak Navy at the same time - they are all official titles of ambassadors and minor envoys, and this basic military attache promotion does not need to go to Lin'an to thank you. The Great Song Dynasty was known for its redundant officials and soldiers, and there were tens of thousands of military attachés at the level of envoys.

The new camp of the Perak Navy was also selected, because it was a sailor, so the camp was not in Yangzhou City, but moved to Guazhou on the edge of the Yangtze River. Originally belonged to the camp of the Shenwu Army in front of the palace, this army was set up during the Kaixi period of Song Ningzong, ready to be used for the Northern Expedition, with a military quota of 8,000 people, but the barracks were very large, enough to garrison 10,000 soldiers, and this barracks was naturally one of the preparations for the Kaixi Northern Expedition. Now the Shenwu army of the temple has been transferred to Hunan to fend off the Mongol army invading from Zijiaozhi. The vacant barracks were just right for the Perak Army.

However, the change of tens of thousands of troops was not so easy to complete, and the current Thunderbolt army was still concentrated in Yangzhou City, crowded in the original artillery army camp, which suddenly made this seemingly large camp a crowded place.

The reformed people who were killed by the Perak sergeant have now changed into the jackets of the Song army, and they are all military materials transported from Jiangnan during this time. However, they were not given weapons—slave oarsmen or anything was just talking, but Chen Dexing was not so quick to trust these Northern Army reformers. Even the liberation fighters of later generations need some ideological education or something to go to the battlefield, right? And it's not just these reformed people who need to be educated, in Chen Dexing's view, so the soldiers and civilians of the Southern Song Dynasty should be brainwashed!

The reactions of these reformers to becoming oarsmen are also different, and some are relieved that they don't have to worry about being used as a striker to fight or die; Some of them looked disappointed - some of these people are quite skilled in martial arts, and if they are given the opportunity, they may be able to play a half-official position! But it's more that it doesn't matter, anyway, it's just a soldier to eat food, and there is no difference between rowing and cutting people......

The reorganization plan of the Perak Naval Army was also completed, and it was divided into three armies, the left, the center and the right, of which the left and center armies were the navy armies, and the right armies were the craftsman armies. The left and center armies each consisted of three generals and eighteen divisions, each of which was a three-layer oared warship, consisting of 260 people, including 174 oarsmen, and a total of 86 soldiers, including officers. The commander of the Chinese army is Gao Da, and his official position has been promoted to the ambassador's minister, the Xunwu Lang of the eighth grade. The commander of the left army was given to Land Rover, and his official rank was two orders higher than Gao Da, and he was Wu Jinglang from the seventh rank.

The Right Army had an establishment of 1,500 people, including the craftsmen of the original Right Army, craftsmen from the reformers, and boatwrights and blacksmiths invited by Huang Million from Quanzhou High-tech. The commander is still nominally "missing" Monk Liu, and the monk's official photo has also come down, and Xiu Wulang, who has been named the eighth grade, is also the title of ambassador.

However, in order to let Jia Rudao throw a mouse, Chen Dexing secretly sent Monk Liu to Li Cuixian's side - the secret of the hair stone and the heavenly thunder can delay the overthrow of the Great Song Dynasty, and it can also accelerate the demise of the Great Song Dynasty! Therefore, Chen Dexing asked Monk Liu to go to Li Cuixian's side, as long as the whereabouts of the No. 2 person in the artillery army are unknown, the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty will have to think twice if they want to deal with Chen Dexing.

So in fact, the four people in charge of the right army of the artillery army were Huang Zhishen, Ren Yijiang, Liu Yang and Qi Ta. Among them, Huang Zhishen got a letter from Jiupin, and the dispatch was written by the writing machine.

Ren Yijiang got a Taoist official, named the master of the Great Ming Temple, and also served as the dispatch of the Thunderbolt Navy to handle ordnance matters.

And Liu Yang is the common name of the Shenxiao faction Senior Brother Liu, this Liu Taoist is thirty years old, is a Han from the north, originally cultivated in Zhongnan Mountain, traveled to the south of the Yangtze River eight years ago, and worshiped under the Shenxiao Gate. The appearance is very bit Dao bone fairy style, and he is also a Taoist robe and Taoist crown all day long, but he is a true Taoist priest, and his Taoist number is half a Taoist. Chen Dexing had been in contact with him for a while, and felt that he was still reliable, so he told him all the secrets of granular gunpowder, and asked him to take turns to serve in the army with Taoist priests, and also gave him the dispatch to handle ordnance matters.

Zita is the old man of the artillery army and one of the brothers of Qionghualou. He was appointed by Chen Dexing as the deputy commander of the right army of the artillery army and the general of the blacksmith general, and his official rank was also promoted to Wu Yilang, who belonged to the ambassador's minister.

The Lu family's Lu Shihu was also promoted this time, from the political lang to the undertaker, although he was only a civil official from the eighth grade, but he belonged to the sequence of "Beijing officials", which can be regarded as breaking away from the "sea selection" and ascending to the sky in one step! However, Lu Shihu's dispatch did not change much, and he became the commander of the Thunderbolt Water Army in front of the emperor. He is the head of the staff of the Perak Water Army, because he is a civilian official or a Beijing official, and his theoretical status is second only to Chen Dexing. In addition, Jia Rudao also appointed him a dispatch to lift the Yangzhou shipyard, and asked him to supervise the construction of pulp ships together with Chen Dexing.

And supervising the construction of warships is Chen Dexing's biggest headache at the moment.

"Brother Lu Shi, million, Taoist priest, seventh brother (Zita is seven among the twenty-two brothers), halfway, sit down."

Crouching Tiger Fang, the general. Chen Dexing, who will leave for Lin'an tomorrow, is still busy arranging shipbuilding tonight. Although it will be the New Year of the first year of Kaiqing in a few days, the current Song and Mongolian wars are in full swing, which belongs to an extraordinary period, and the training and dispatch of the army and the building of weapons are all carried out regularly.

"Timber ready, right?" Chen Dexing took the teacup from Cui Yue'er's hand, took a sip, and got straight to the point and asked about business.

"It's all ready, and the best timber is the inventory of Yangzhou Shipyard." Lu Shihu replied with a smile. This morning, he went to take over the Yangzhou Shipyard, which was part of the Lianghuai Fusi Division, which had a large production scale earlier, but before the invasion of Yeliugan, most of the shipyard's craftsmen were transferred to the Jiankang Shipyard and Zhenjiang Shipyard on the other side of the Yangtze River. However, the stored timber was not transported in time.

"Have you consulted with the shipwright?"

Huang Zhishen smiled: "It's been discussed, and they've seen the model...... They felt that the side of the ship was a bit high, the hull was a little slender, and there was no problem with the construction, so they were afraid that it would be inconvenient to jump and capsize. ”

Three-deck oars are all about high speeds, so the hull is designed to be very slender to reduce drag. And to arrange a three-layer paddle seat, this freeboard is naturally high, and it is naturally not easy to meet a river boat with a low freeboard - the height difference is too large, and it is not easy to jump down and climb up.

Chen Dexing shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I know all this, but I can only blindly seek speed when I fight against the water in the Sichuan River." As for the future sea operations, it will be necessary to rebuild the pulp sailboat, which is not in such a shape. ”

"It's just that the speed of the ship fighting against the water is still too slow, and the strength of the impact is not enough, right?" Huang Zhishen said with some apprehension, "How to destroy the enemy ship still has to be considered in the long run." ”

Chen Dexing nodded: "This can only rely on the hair stone, the heavenly thunder and the hot iron ball, and maybe you can also use the bed crossbow to launch the heavenly thunder and blow up the enemy ship." In short, there is always a way. The top priority now is to build a prototype ship first, and with a prototype boat, you can slowly explore. The hull of the prototype ship will start construction before the year, and the hull must be completed within 20 days! ”
