The two groups had already left Luoyang City and headed for Yanzhou and Qingzhou respectively, while Hua'an also left the palace and went to the south gate of Luoyang City.

Hua An and his subordinates went to the north bank of Luoshui, not far from the south of the city, to inspect the naval troops there and see the training results of the naval troops.

In the naval camp on the north bank of Luoshui, Hua An and his subordinates saw more than 1,000 large and small warships, as well as soldiers training on them.

The flags on the warship fluttered in the wind, looking quite spectacular and full of awe-inspiring momentum, which made Hua'an and most of his generals very satisfied.

Hua'an and most of the generals believed that with such a powerful warship force, they could completely resist the attack of the Jingzhou army, and even defeat the Jingzhou naval army.

Hua An looked at the more than 1,000 warships in front of him, and said: "I didn't expect that our craftsmen built more than 1,000 warships so quickly, which is much faster than this king imagined, I believe that it won't be long before all 3,000 warships can be built." ”

"Yes! Wang, since receiving the order, these shipbuilding craftsmen immediately began to build all kinds of warships, these craftsmen are originally in Chang'an City responsible for the construction of transport ships craftsmen, quite skilled in the construction of ships, so, the construction is naturally much faster, however, now the built warships are small and medium-sized warships, larger warships have not yet been built, however, at most, half a year, all the warships can be built. Wang Sanzheng said.

Hua An nodded and said loudly: "Say so." At most, in half a year, our 90,000 naval army will be able to form an army, which is really good, but what about the water combat ability of these soldiers? What stage has it been? After speaking, he looked at Chen Yanhu.

Chen Zhanhu hugged his fists and said: "King Qiqi, most of the soldiers are from the north. There are not many people who know how to swim, so it is really troublesome to train, some soldiers practice for more than a month and still get seasick, and some soldiers fall into Luoshui when they are training on the deck, and they can no longer be found. ”

Obviously, Chen Zhenhu told the truth about the training of the sailors, and he was still full of confidence before training these sailors. When I really started training, I realized that training the navy and the army were completely different, not only was the progress of the soldiers relatively slow, but also, because they had almost no experience in major water warfare before, they did not know how to train, and the effect was the best.

I heard that there were soldiers in training. Swallowed by Luoshui, Hua An was shocked. After all, this is just training, and if you have to lose a lot of soldiers during training, the price is too great.

"General Chen, there are soldiers who have fallen into the water and disappeared. How many such soldiers are there? Hua An attached great importance to this matter and hurriedly asked.

Chen Poyu said: "Back to the king, since the training of the soldiers, hundreds of soldiers have accidentally fallen into the water, among them. Most of them were rescued, but dozens of soldiers are still missing, and they should have died in the belly of the fish. After speaking, he looked at Hua'an.

When Hua An heard this, he was greatly surprised, he had lost so many soldiers in such a short period of training, if he had been training for many years, wouldn't he have lost more soldiers, and if he continued like this, it was naturally not a long-term solution.

However, Hua An also knows very well in his heart that the reason why these soldiers will die in the belly of the fish is mainly because their water quality is too poor, and they are easy to get seasick.

Hua'an felt that he had to come up with a way to prevent soldiers from losing again, otherwise, the loss would not only be dozens of soldiers, but the morale of the entire army.

"General Chen, in the future training of soldiers, we must prevent any more soldiers from being swallowed by Luoshui, this is very important, and we must not be sloppy." Hua An looked at Chen Zhanhu and said.

Chen Zhenhu frowned, and said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, the last general doesn't want the soldiers to fall into Luoshui during training, but the warship is extremely turbulent when it encounters wind and waves, and it is inevitable that a few soldiers will fall into the water, and the last general has no good way." ”

Obviously, Chen Zhanhu also hopes that all the soldiers will not fall into the water, but the reality of the situation makes him very helpless, after all, as soon as he encounters the wind and waves, the warship will be turbulent, and the soldiers with bad water quality fall into the water, and it is not something he can control.

Hua An was very dissatisfied with Chen Hu's answer, paused, and said: "There must be a way, but General Chen is not willing to think about it." ”

"The last general is stupid, I don't know what the king's good plan is?" Seeing that Hua An seemed to have a good way, Chen Xiaohu hurriedly asked.

Hua An looked at the shallow water area on the shore, and said: "General Chen, the shore is a shallow water area, so you can let the soldiers train in the shallow water area first, and then wait for the soldiers to swim freely in the water, and then it's not too late to get on the boat for training!" ”

Chen Zhenhu thought for a while, hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, there is indeed some truth in this method, but our army has 90,000 soldiers to train, all of whom are trained in the shallow water area on the shore first, which is too time-consuming, and after the training is completed, it will be a few months later." ”

Obviously, Chen Zhanhu felt that this method could be tried, but more than a thousand warships were already waiting for the soldiers in Luoshui, and in order to make comprehensive use of the time, all the warships must be used, so that a large number of soldiers must enter the warships for training, and training in the shallow water on the shore can only be some of them.

When Hua An heard this, he felt that what Chen Zhan said was very reasonable, after all, time is the most precious, and it is not possible to let all these warships idle in order to let the soldiers train in water, which is not conducive to the comprehensive use of time, and the efficiency of training will be greatly reduced.

After thinking about it carefully, Hua An said again: "General Chen, it's better to let all the soldiers immediately remove the heavy armor on their bodies, and tie a few sections of tree trunks to each soldier's chest and back, so that even if these soldiers accidentally fall into the water, they will not sink to the bottom of the water, and naturally they will not be buried in the belly of the fish." ”

The countermeasures proposed by Hua'an are similar to the life jackets of later generations, but the materials are simpler, just tying some tree trunks on the front chest and back, but the effect should not be bad.

Chen was surprised when he heard this, after all, he had never seen such a situation, and it was unknown how effective it would be for soldiers to tie a few short tree trunks to their chests and backs.

"Your Majesty, is this really possible?" Chen Xiaohu frowned and asked.

Hua'an naturally doesn't know how effective this method is, but you can know by giving it a try.

Soon, Hua An ordered several soldiers to prepare some thick tree trunks and ropes, and let them assemble improvised life jackets on the shore.

It didn't take long for several soldiers to make improvised life jackets and display them in front of Hua'an.

Huaan asked the soldiers to put improvised life jackets on their bodies and had them jump into the water to see how it worked.

Hearing the order, several soldiers immediately jumped into the Luoshui and gradually swam to the depth of the water, and after reaching a position full of one person, several soldiers stopped swimming and stayed quietly to test the effect of the simple life jacket.

Hua An and his subordinate generals looked ahead, only to see a few soldiers standing still on the water, completely motionless, but did not sink to the bottom, but exposed their heads and entire necks.

Seeing that his invention was successful, Hua'an seemed very happy, so that the problem of soldiers burying in the belly of the fish was solved, and the structure of the simple life jacket was very simple, that is, some tree trunks and ropes, the cost was not large, and it was completely easy to prepare such a simple life jacket for 90,000 soldiers, and it could be completely prepared within a few days.

"Your Majesty, it seems that this method is really good! After the soldiers are tied to the thick tree trunks, even if they fall into the water during training, there will be no danger, so that all the soldiers can train freely. Chen Zhanhu said loudly.

Among all the generals in Hua'an, Chen Zhanhu was naturally the most happy, after all, in this way, it would be much easier for him to train the navy army in the future, and he would no longer have to worry about the situation of the soldier accidentally Luoshui.

Hua An smiled, and Zhengse said: "These are simple, which can temporarily meet the needs of the soldiers, but in the future, we will have to create more refined ones, and although there are such things, the water-based training of the soldiers cannot be left behind, after all, these things can only be auxiliary, so that the soldiers can improve their water-based nature, which is the most important thing." ”

"The king can rest assured, in the end, the soldiers will take turns to conduct water-based training, and within half a year, all the soldiers will definitely be water-based." Chen Xuanhu assured loudly.

Hua An was greatly satisfied when he heard this, paused, and said, "Generals, let's go to the warship and have a look!" With that, he strode towards one of the largest warships.

The subordinates all followed behind Hua'an and headed for the largest warship.

Due to the strong wind at this time, Hua An and his subordinates just boarded the deck of the warship, and felt the turbulence on the warship, but fortunately, this is the largest warship, so the bump is not very violent, and people standing on the deck can still stand firm, and they will not fall because of the turbulence of the ship.

"Your Majesty, this is the largest warship of our army at present, and a larger warship is still under construction." Chen Xiaohu introduced to Hua'an loudly.

Hua An nodded, and said with a straight face: "A warship of this size is not small, but compared with the five-story ship of the Yangzhou Legion, it is still a lot smaller, of course, there is no need for our army to build such a large warship, it is enough."
