Chapter 132: Straighten Out the Sailor

"Change to a sailor?" Zhu Houhuang repeated.

"Exactly." Wang Henian said: "The military system created by His Royal Highness Weichenguan is really exquisite, when the country has nothing to do, it only needs to raise tens of thousands of elites, and if there is something to do, millions of people can be levied, compared to the policy of Taizu, it is not the same." ”

Zhu Houhuang knew that Wang Henian was patting on the back, but he also felt very comfortable, and said, "Where is it." How can Lone compare to Taizu? But because of the legacy of the sages. ”

Wang Henian said: "It's just that this strategy can be used on the mainland, and the Yongguo can be used in the Yongguo, which is inevitably a little unbeautiful, Dongyongdi is in the sea, and the sailor is the first priority, and His Royal Highness is a heavy soldier, isn't it sacrificing the original to seek the end?" The minister's place in Penghu suffered greatly. The seventy-two islands under the jurisdiction of Penghu have many pirates and few bandits. If the Haikou is in the sea, the county soldiers cannot attack it. Therefore, the minister asked all counties to set up two divisions on land and water according to local conditions. For example, here in Penghu, we don't have to have many foot soldiers. It's good to be all water masters. ”

"Your Highness, the sailor is different from the foot soldier, the foot soldier only needs a few months of practice, and he can be called a fine pawn, and the sailor is not trained for many years, and the sail and pulp are not necessarily possible even if they are practiced for many years?" Li Liangqin couldn't help but say.

Zhu Houhuang nodded, the navy is a technical branch. It's not just a few months of practice. Zhu Houhuang turned his head and looked at Wang Henian, wanting to see what Wang Henian said.

Wang Henian said: "Your Highness, the minister doesn't know that skilled sailors are not very easy to train, but Your Highness needs a lot of skilled sailors in Yongguo now. Your Highness now relies on the Nanyang trade for all the financial revenue of the entire Yongguo. It can be said that Dongyong can do nothing else, but without a fleet, absolutely not. The minister heard that His Royal Highness had built a shipyard in Dayuan and bought a ship in Fujian, and the ships were easy to find, but sailors were rare. I estimate that almost all of the sailors who can get on board in Yongguo are among the sailors, and they can't find veterans in Penghu to encourage fishing. ”

"What?" Zhu Houhuang obviously did not grasp this situation.

Zhu Houhuang's prediction for the future is to dominate the entire Southeast Asian waters and become the hegemon of the entire Southeast Asian waters. There were at least hundreds of warships. There are dozens of times more civilian ships than warships. And to support such a huge maritime hegemony, more sailors are needed. That's going to be tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of sailors.

China is not a maritime country, although the coastal people have the custom of running to the sea, but within a few years, or more than ten years, so many sailors have been pulled, Zhu Houhuang has a little scalp numbness when he thinks about it.

And if all maritime operations are government-run. When the power of the government declines, it is also the time when the hegemony of the sea declines, and it is necessary to cultivate people with sufficient marine genes.

In an instant, Zhu Houhuang made a decision, not for combat effectiveness, but for the sake of training navigation personnel, and he must also agree to Wang Henian's suggestion. Then among the county soldiers and sailors, a group of skilled sailors had just been trained, and they were immediately retired. Then among these county soldiers and water divisions, there is no combat effectiveness at all, just the reserve of the Yongguo water division.

Zhu Houhuang said: "Wang Aiqing's suggestion, Gu agreed. When I returned, I immediately consulted with Commander Xu. ”

This matter was agreed, and Zhu Houhuang found that there was another benefit, that is, the loyalty of the sailor. With this strategy, even if the high-level sailors were brought over by Xu Dong, Zhu Houhuang could rest assured.

After deliberation, there were no further questions. Zhu Houhuang also went to see the Penghu County soldiers, who were only more than 1,000 soldiers, and the training was quite effective.

Of course, it can't be compared, Zhu Houhuang's personal soldiers, but the art of war and killing is also very good, and he only needs to go into battle to kill the enemy.

Zhu Houhuang said: "Ten days later, the Penghu County soldiers gathered at the army. This is a military order. ”

"Yes."

Zhu Houhuang looked at the soldiers in the three places and knew that the soldiers were available. Now it's time to prepare for the North Harbor.

Zhu Houhuang never looked at the strength of Beigang, this time he just wanted to see the mobilization ability of the Yongguo system.

Zhu Houhuang returned to Dayuan, and straightened out various relationships within ten days.

After all, it is the first time, there are many things, and there are many things that need to be straightened out by Zhu Houhuang, such as the military salary of the county soldiers.

According to Zhu Houhuang's system, the county soldiers served locally, had rations, and were allocated clothes and armor, but they were not paid. But if you go on such an expedition, it is a little too much to say that you will not pay the soldiers.

But how to give, how much to give. Another question.

In the end, after Zhu Houhuang discussed with you, it was decided that there would be a subsidy for going out, but it was not high, equivalent to half a salary for the army, but the reward for war exploits was rich.

Originally, Zhu Houhuang thought that it would be enough to take care of these regulations. As soon as I really got started, I realized that it was not an easy thing to send troops, such as the escort of grain and grass, and the accompanying medical officers, and so on.

Before Zhu Houhuang fought wars, such as the battle against Dayan Khan, these trivial matters did not need to be handled by Zhu Houhuang personally. The two battles fought in Dongyong were also fought near Dayuan, and they were not long journeys at all.

Fortunately, Beigang is near the sea, and this time, you can go directly by boat. Otherwise, after a thousand-mile march, Zhu Houhuang has no bottom in his heart. He even wanted to summon Qi Jingtong over. for consultation. In any case, Qi Jingtong is also a veteran who has fought in wars, and his family is also a hereditary commander, so he can be regarded as a general.

However, Zhu Houhuang finally stopped this attention, this time the enemy was not strong, Zhu Houhuang should exercise himself. Since it has been decided to firmly control the military power in the future, it is necessary to have a record of success. Zhu Houhuang must be familiar with the conquest. Personally participated in the founding of the Yongguo army.

In this hurry, ten days passed. The Penghu County soldiers arrived, together with the county soldiers who had already gathered and Zhu Houhuang's personal soldiers, there were more than 3,000 people.

Zhu Houhuang reviewed the three armies, and it seemed that the army of King Yong, the Penghu County Army, and the Dayuan County Army were clearly distinguished.

Among them, the best equipped and best trained is naturally the Yongwang army, with hundreds of people wearing armor and hundreds of people wearing mandarin duck battle jackets. In fact, the people wearing armor are all hand-to-hand white soldiers, most of these people are armed with big swords and spears, and the people wearing mandarin duck jackets are the musketeers that Zhu Houhuang fancies. The second is the Dayuan County soldiers, the old foundation of Dayuan County is the Fuzhou Sanwei, and when the Dayuan is reclaimed, it is also in accordance with the military system, and the military cantonment has not been disbanded for a few days. In addition, under the noses of the princes, they naturally dare not be lazy.

is a head stronger than the Penghu County soldiers.

As for the Penghu County soldiers, there is no such condition as a big officer, although they have also been trained for several months, after all, the foundation is a little worse.

The equipment of the county soldiers is a little worse than that of Zhu Houhuang's personal soldiers, and they are all with a spear in their hands. The workmanship is far less sophisticated than that of the princes. Among the county soldiers, there are also dozens of people wearing armor and wearing long knives around their waists, these people are all officers at all levels in the county soldiers, and most of them have been transferred from the pro-soldiers.

All the combat power of Yongguo, except for the water division and the Qi clan's Qi Jingtong department, is here.

However, as soon as Zhu Houhuang remembered the heroic division of the border army that was competing with Dayan Khan, he looked down on the army in front of him. Whether it is Zhengde's outer four armies. It was still Dayan Khan's Mongol iron cavalry, and the army in front of him was far from being an opponent.

But no matter how much it is a waste, it is also a waste of one's own. Zhu Houhuang secretly comforted himself: "The Yongjun has just been established now, and there will be time in the future to train him into a hundred battle heroes." ”

Zhu Houhuang ascended to the platform, dressed in mountain armor, shining with golden light, and the red cloak behind him was in full swing. and Zhu Houhuang raised the red battle flag behind him, reflecting each other.

Zhu Houhuang glanced at it, and for a while there was silence, and everyone looked at Zhu Houhuang. For a while, Zhu Houhuang felt a hot feeling on his body.

"Soldiers, the fertile land of Dongyong, occupied by thieves, has repeatedly plundered merchant ships, and now this king hangs the people for the crime. Those who have meritorious service will be rewarded, those who are guilty will be punished, and their wives and children will be sealed, all in this day. ”

"Seal the wife and the son, all in the present day. Seal the wife and the son, all in the present day. In the midst of the shouts of the soldiers, after Zhu Houhuang came to Dongyong, the first big operation began.

This is also the largest military operation personally presided over by Zhu Houhuang, using 3,000 foot soldiers, ten five-masted ships, and dozens of three-masted ships.
