Today is the issue of the water army, Fang Zhiwen is speeding up the affairs in Lenan, he has a hunch that he can stay in Lenan for a short time, in fact, this is not a hunch, now the grassland is in full swing, Fengning County is surrounded by beacons, Fang Zhiwen has no reason to let himself be idle.

There were generals of the army and people from the staff department who participated in the meeting, of course, the protagonists of the navy were all there, and even Sun Ming was called by Fang Zhiwen, as the crossbow instructor of the navy, of course, he had to attend an important meeting on the future development of the navy.

"What we are discussing here today is about the development of the navy, although we may not know much about the navy, but there may be some whimsical ideas, no matter what ideas there are, it doesn't matter, we are just going to brainstorm today and collect opinions for the development of the navy in the future."

Fang Zhiwen glanced at the generals present, and saw that the expressions of many people were a little relaxed, and he also felt a little funny in his heart, these guys who can only fight were nervous as soon as they had a meeting, for fear that they would not know what to say when they were asked.

"Okay, Zhou Tai, as the chief officer of the navy, you will first tell you about the meaning and purpose of establishing the navy, as well as the characteristics of the navy, and give them insight."

Nuo 1 Zhou Tai saluted with a glance, and then turned his head to look at everyone.

"The establishment of the navy was decided by the lord last year, when it was to protect the safety of the transit port established at the mouth of the Qinghe River. It appeared along with the sea route. So, I think we should call it the navy, not the navy. ”

Fang Zhiwen smiled: "Okay!" According to what Zhou Tai said, the Fengning Navy was renamed the Fengning Navy, and Zhou Tai was reappointed as the captain of the Fengning Navy. ”

Fang Zhiwen doesn't need to discuss this with anyone at all, as a good young man in later generations, he naturally knows what a navy is and what a navy is, and what Zhou Tai established is indeed a navy.

"Thank you to the lord 1 Zhou Tai saluted again, everyone was a little puzzled about the lord's decision, only Xiangxiang took it for granted. But she didn't think carefully about why her brother would accept the new term navy so naturally.

"My Fengning Navy appeared along with the sea route, so why create a sea route at sea? Because the sea extends in all directions, if we have the clipper boat that Lu Chuancao said now. According to him, it only takes ten days to start from Lenam and arrive in Cochin. And we go by land, it is impossible to reach without sixty days, and this is still the speed of light cavalry, so what about caravans transporting goods? It takes four months to go. On the other hand, now our shipyard has been able to produce offshore ships of 2,000 stones, and in the future, it may also produce tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of stones of sea ships to transport goods at one time. It is equivalent to the transportation volume of thousands of pack horses, and this process only requires dozens of sailors, and the loss and travel expenses of the two are incalculable, which is the unparalleled convenience of the sea route. You are all soldiers, you can try to think that if the ship is loaded not with commercial goods, but with soldiers and horses, which are strategic materials, then we can do it in a very short time. What does it mean to send a large number of troops to the coastal states and counties of Dahan? ”

Many of the generals present, including Zhao Yun, had never heard of this naval theory, so they couldn't help but gasp when they heard Zhou Tai talk about the concept of the final landing battle.

Everyone's eyes involuntarily turned to the global map of Dahan hanging on the side bracket. The gray sea above was an insurmountable moat, but now it has suddenly become a smooth road to the sky. What does this mean?

Zhou Tai was a little proud, and then saw Xiangxiang's smiling face, and couldn't help but collapse his face.

"The purpose of our navy's existence is to protect the sea routes of our Fengning County, to carry out long-distance raids on enemy forces when necessary, and to assist the army in projecting troops to provide rapid supplies to the army, and at the same time, to protect the territory of our Fengning County from being raided by the enemy's naval forces or navy."

When these words came out, everyone looked at Zhou Tai differently, originally everyone thought that this naval army was only about 2,000 people, that is, to protect the fishing ground and harbor, at most to guard the shipping route, now Zhou Tai gave such an analysis, everyone understood that the importance of the sea is no worse than the land, and the role of the navy is even worse than that of the army, and they can't help but feel impressed by this young naval leader, and even with it, Duan Zhiran and Sun Ming also enjoy the same treatment.

"As for the significance of the existence of the navy, it exists as one of the most important deterrent and strike military forces in Fengning County, and the existence and growth of the navy will provide Fengning County with a powerful means of offensive deterrence, as well as a safe retreat, and provide strong protection for the commercial and trade development of Fengning County. Above. ”

Zhou Tai's voice fell, and the needle drop could be heard in the hall.

After a while, Zhao Yun sighed lightly, breaking everyone's silence: "Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years!" Brother Zhou Xian, now I know that I am a rat-eyed man! The advantages of the navy are like the blade of lore, and the solidity of the navy is like the fence of the family and the country, and it has been taught! Lord, Yun thinks that the navy is indispensable, and the navy is the way of life and death. ”

"What Zilong said is very true."

"The Navy is indeed not to be taken lightly."

"Agreed."

"Seconded 1

"Hehe, you seconded the fart, because you are a civil official1

"Uh, you thief bird, I can't say a word, I provoked you?"

"Not convinced? I didn't accept it and went out to fight, boy, I dared to blow up my wings 1

"Lao Qin, clean him up, this guy likes to move Sven recently, and he can see that Lao Tzu's teeth are sore."

"Right"

Enough is enough, Fang Zhiwen snorted coldly and shouted softly: "You bastards! Now that we have a meeting, I have to fight back to the death, and I am not allowed to rest until I am not a child today, so I will go to the training ground1

"Oh!"

Although the promise is honest, his eyes are still flying around, these generals are all fighting with this Fang Zhiwen, and they naturally know that there is no problem with the lord being angry and scolding, but he is afraid that if the lord does not make a sound, then he will really be unlucky.

"Okay, now that everyone understands the importance of the navy, in the future, we will tend to give priority to the development of the navy, although Zhou Tai, Zhiran and Sun Ming are all working hard, but their manpower is still insufficient, so when the time comes to transfer you to join the navy, you can't resist, if anyone says strange things at that time, I will pick his skin 1

After all, they are all cavalry generals, and most of them are seasick and transferred to the navy, not to mention anything else, that is, the two levels of seasickness and swimming are enough for them to bear.

The transfer of personnel was actually proposed by Zhou Tai and Duan Zhiran, not that Zhou Tai did not want to promote generals from the sailors, but that this process was really time-consuming, because the damaged ships could not be replenished before, and the combat intensity of the navy was not large, so the growth rate was naturally much slower.

Now that Lenan City has been established, there is a large harbor shipyard, and then there is an outbreak of maritime trade, not to mention anything else, just cleaning up shipping routes and protecting fisheries, with the current scale of the navy is simply not enough, let alone defense and offense, so the explosive development of the navy is imperative, and it is necessary to transfer from the existing cavalry generals to the navy.

"Brother, our staff has formulated a plan to train in battle, in view of the current shortage of manpower in the navy, the way to capture pirates and carry out transfer training is much faster than recruiting from the naval barracks, and while my brother and Brother Zhao's troops are in Lenan, we should make full use of these forces, naval battles may not work, and short-distance landing battles should have little impact on the cavalry."

Xiangxiang put forward a plan repeatedly deduced by the General Staff, in this plan, the navy should reach the scale of 8,000 people within three months, it doesn't matter if there is no ship, the ship can be used in turn, and even the merchant ship is used, but the training cannot be stopped, and if you want to have an elite, you must fight, so it is the best way to train in battle, and even better, just near Lenan, there are islands dotted with stars, and a large number of pirates on it are waiting to be subdued, aren't they all soldiers.

What's more, Xiangxiang also knows that his brother's skill list has the skill of 'surrendering' in it, and with this, it is possible to capture a large number of pirates and turn into sailors or sailors.

Fang Zhiwen didn't dislike Xiangxiang for calculating herself and Zhao Yun, on the contrary, he was very happy that Xiangxiang could do this, this girl was growing.

"My lord, my subordinates feel that the navy should have more say in land ports and shipyards."

Duan Zhiran didn't like to talk much, but every sentence is a word, this powerful move is to fight for a model for the navy, the future lord can not do everything himself, the army and navy will eventually have their own chief officer, then the lord is just a balanced and grasp of the general leader, in order for the navy to develop smoothly in the future, the navy must have its own system in terms of logistics, soldiers, shipbuilding, repair, training, etc., just like the army.

"My lord, my subordinates also believe that the navy should have its own training and recruitment system, but shipbuilding and logistics should be managed by internal and civilian officials, and the navy can send people to assist in management."

Zhao Yun's suggestion is very pertinent, not that he wants to limit the development of the navy, but that he cannot let the navy have the ability to be self-sufficient, which is definitely the way to take trouble.

"Zilong is right, the navy can establish its own recruitment, training and garrison system, as well as have a base on land, but in terms of shipbuilding and logistics, it is the same as the army, in addition, there will be a naval staff position in the staff department in the future, and my shogunate will set up a naval Cao, which will be held by Zhiran for the time being."

This naval conference basically set Fang Zhiwen's naval system, which was the same as the army system at the beginning, from Fang Zhiwen's shogunate downwards, there was the existence of the navy Cao, and the army's soldiers Cao became a permanent official position, and the improvement of this system was of vital significance to Fang Zhiwen's naval development.

After the meeting, the real navy in the game appeared, and Fang Zhiwen's navy entered a period of explosive development, rapidly growing into a formidable force to be reckoned with in the northern part of the Han Dynasty. To be continued.
