? As early as when Taishici led the fleet to leave Shangdang in June, Zhao Xing sent someone to send a secret letter to Zhao Yun, the chief general of Youzhou military and horses, asking Zhao Yun to help Taishici do a good job in the construction of Quanzhou Water Army City in Yuyang County.

Although Zhao Yun was in charge of Youzhou's troops and horses, not only directly commanded the Dingyuan Army with a population of up to 40,000, but also had the power to temporarily command and mobilize the Xiong Ju Army led by Xu Shu and the Xiongwu Army led by Li Jinwu, the Navy Admiral's Office was directly under the jurisdiction of the Protector, which means that Taishi Ci directly obeyed Zhao Xing himself.

In order to avoid the navy garrison in Quanzhou's continuous development and growth and friction with the land troops in Youzhou as the future, Zhao Xing specifically asked the Youzhou Mu Gongsun Zan to assign the 50-mile area around Quanzhou County to the jurisdiction of the Navy Admiral's Office. When it is necessary to cooperate with water and land, such as crossing the sea to capture a shortcut to attack Xiangping, the old nest of Gongsun Du in Liaodong, or crossing the sea to directly land in Lelang County on the Korean Peninsula, and Zhao Yun will be commanded by the navy, and the navy will be responsible for completing the corresponding combat tasks.

Taishi Ci, who successfully arrived in Quanzhou, was welcomed by 400 boatmen who arrived in Yuyang in advance. After Zhao Yun, who was far away in Yuyang City, learned that Taishi Ci had arrived in Quanzhou, he specially brought his men to Quanzhou to meet him, and handed over the more than 3,000 Danyang soldiers abandoned by Yuan Shu who were managed by Dingyuan Army some time ago.

In the past, despite the opposition of his advisers, Yuan Shu insisted on taking 40,000 Danyang elite soldiers to Bingzhou to participate in the battle to siege Zhao Xing. As a result, he became the target of Zhao Xing's focus. He tore off several pieces of meat from him and captured more than 5,000 Danyang soldiers on the battlefield. After the roundtable meeting, more than 1,000 Danyang soldiers demanded to return to Yangzhou, while the remaining 3,000 old soldiers were dissatisfied with the ruthlessness of the lord Yuan Shu, and envied the favorable treatment of the soldiers of Jin State and voluntarily stayed in Jin State.

Danyang is located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The people here are proficient in water nature. The soldiers recruited here are naturally familiar with water wars and are not afraid of wind and waves. They are the top candidates for naval soldiers. Zhao Xing had long decided to develop the navy and also set a way out for these soldiers. Taishi Ci left for the front to Qu County, and Zhao Xing ordered Gao Shun to personally lead three thousand Danyang soldiers from Pingcheng, the northern transportation hub, to enter Youzhou, and headed straight for Yuyang City.

Zhao Xing asked Gao Shun to lead the team himself not only because of his attention to these three thousand Danyang soldiers, but also because Gao Shun went to Youzhou to guide the establishment of the Wohu Training Group's branch in Youzhou. With the rapid expansion of Jin's power, the Wohu Training Group could no longer meet the requirements of the three states to conduct recruit training at the same time, and forming a branch was also an inevitable choice.

Gao Shun also had to meet with Taishi Ci to discuss how to organize and implement the training of the navy in the future. When Gao Shun left, he specially brought Zhao Xing's series of thoughts and suggestions on the construction of the navy. These came from the experience of the development and construction of the navy in later generations. Although it did not come from the mind of Zhao Xing, a land war elite, for Taishi Ci, it also had a guiding role like a guiding light.

After Zhao Yun, Taishi Ci and Gao Shun met, they learned some guiding opinions from Zhao Xing on the development and construction of the Jin State Navy, and then exchanged opinions on the current difficulties and problems facing the construction of Quanzhou Naval City.

After all, the main difficulties and problems are summarized in the final summary are the "three shortcomings". One is lack of experience; two is lack of talents; three is lack of funds. The navy was initially established, and lack of experience is naturally a fact that it cannot be avoided. Only by relying on continuous exploration and accumulation in the future can some systematic and institutionalized things be formed. The lack of talent and lack of experience is the same. Whether it is Jin State, Youzhou and Liang State, they are all located north of the Yellow River. It is really difficult to find many generals and soldiers who are skilled in water war. In the future, they can only be solved through practical training and hard practice in peacetime.

The lack of funds is a problem that tests everyone's wisdom and ability. If you use your brain and think of more ways to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, the two million taels of silver that Zhao Xing allocated to the navy can still be spent for a while.

The funds for the development and construction of large warships cannot be deducted, which is related to the life and death of the navy; the shipcrafters and the Danyang soldiers, the three thousand newly recruited sailors, cannot be deducted, which is related to the morale of the army; the only aspect that can be reduced is only the only cost of maintaining the operation of the navy and the cost of the soldiers eating and wearing them.

Recruiting soldiers in other prefectures and counties is like placing cool labor. The children of poor people try their best to avoid them. When recruiting soldiers in Jin State, they choose from the reserves with excellent performance, and now the competition for entering the reserve troops is very fierce. The reason for this situation is closely related to the treatment of protecting the **.

According to the recipes formulated by Zhao Xing himself to protect the **, it is necessary to ensure that every soldier can eat a boiled egg every day, a serving of meat every day, and drink milk every two days. This food standard is undoubtedly a great temptation for poor children who wished people to eat in the past few years. However, the premise for supporting such a mouth-watering meal is the increasingly prosperous and powerful Jin State.

Zhao Xing's "five-character tip" for commanding troops is to raise soldiers, "feed" all soldiers firmly, and after being healthy, they will undergo high-intensity training, which is in line with the principles of human body functions and training. Just imagine how a unit that is so hungry that it is dizzy and thin that it is so thin that it can carry out a head-on death charge against the cruel Xianbei people on the prairie?

In a word, just giving the soldiers who protect the ** to eat meat every day is an amazing expense.

Taishi Ci studied in the Huhu Martial Arts Hall for a full half year and naturally knew Zhao Xing's "Five-character Skills". He had no intention of deducting the soldiers' food funds, but he wanted to use the two million taels of silver that Zhao Xing had allocated to make a big career. He always asked Zhao Xing for money, which was not Taishi Ci's attitude of doing things.

On the one hand, there is a funding limit, and on the other hand, the treatment of soldiers cannot be reduced. How can we reduce expenses? Taishi Ci came up with an idea that he heard.

Before leaving, Zhao Xing had a long conversation with Taishi Ci, which reminded Taishi Ci that the sea contains wealth and food that people cannot imagine. Not only is there a large amount of fish for edible, but some seaweeds can provide people with rich nutrients, no worse than the vegetables carefully planted by farmers, no less nutrients than beef and mutton produced by the Crouching Tiger Meat Products Factory, and some are even delicious dishes that Zhao Xing salivates when he mentions.

What kind of seafood does Zhao Xing drool when he mentions? That is the shrimps that are the middle-class crabs and chopsticks, fresh yellow croakers and moray eels! In his previous life, Zhao Xing often took a battalion brother to the deserted island in the sea for survival training. His favorite thing is to organize soldiers to go to the sea to make seafood. The plump and rich crabs and shrimps with fresh meat are simply a delicious gift from God. It can not only supplement a lot of protein, but also make people feel endless.

A heavy snow disaster in the north at the end of spring caused the meat production of Jin to shrink greatly this year, and the prices of meat products, especially beef and mutton, to soar. Since even the Taifu was salivating at the living creatures produced in the sea, it was enough to prove that the fish, shells, shrimps and crabs in the sea were delicious. Therefore, Taishici planned to reduce the supply of meat to the navy soldiers and organize everyone to go to sea to catch fish, shrimps and crabs, not only to meet the dietary needs of our army, but also to find ways to sell them to the people of Youzhou to earn an additional income!

When the navy was first established, he didn't organize training well and even went to the sea to catch fish. Isn't this a typical job?

The answer is no. If a navy does not even have the ability to go to the sea to catch fish, how can he conquer the sea and the ocean in the future even fight against the yellow-haired and green-eyed Rakshasa ghosts at the sea?

First let the navy become familiar with the ocean and be a qualified fisherman, and then they have the chance to become "white strips in the waves", no longer fear and unfamiliar with the ocean, and eventually become a new type of navy that meets Zhao Xing's requirements!

From this point of view, the first navy admiral took the lead in going into the sea to catch shrimps and crabs, which was undoubtedly the essence of Zhao Xing's military management thought. ~
