If the world is unified, then the Yellow River and the Yangtze River do not need special naval forces. The original naval forces, as combat power, were transferred to the harbor and trained as real navy.

Those who fail the qualifications will stay and act as a water armed police officer and will be in charge of the local commander.

In today's Han Dynasty, the thief Cao in various cities is equivalent to police, responsible for maintaining public security and handling cases; the soldiers under the county magistrate and the chief magistrate are armed police, suppressing local rebellions, suppressing bandits and assisting local officials in disaster relief and maintaining public security.

Finally, there are the army, four expeditions, four towns, four flats, and four safes, and sixteen generals, stationed in various provinces outside Zhili Province according to their jurisdiction.

Liu Tao divided the world into four military regions, and the four military regimes were responsible for the conquest in four directions; the four towns were responsible for the guarding of the four military regions; the Siping was responsible for the guarding of the military region’s borders, and the Si'an was responsible for the guarding of the second line of the military region.

The standard organization of the Four Conquests is 5,000 war soldiers, which can be expanded to 30,000 during wartime; the four towns are also 5,000, but the maximum expansion can be expanded to 20,000 during wartime; the regular organization of the Four Conquests is 5,000, which can be expanded to 10,000 during wartime; the two thousand organization of the Four Conquests is 2,000, which can be expanded to 5,000 during wartime.

In the past, the Five Northern Army Schools had only 5,000 people, but when they arrived, they immediately expanded to 50,000 people.

The problem is that Liu Tao, a great man, has a relatively large territory, so there are more soldiers guarding the army. Even if he doesn't fight, Liu Tao will never reduce his military expenditure, accounting for 30 to 40% of the national income. During wartime, it will even directly increase to 60%.

Even if the world is safe, forgetting the war will lead to danger! Liu Tao is very clear about this principle. He does not want to wait until someone uses force to open the country's door, but he will remember to develop and catch up.

The army has, and of course the navy must be formed. The leader is Gan Ning, then Cai Mao and Zhang Yun. As for Cai Mao’s two unscrupulous nephews, they naturally went to cool off.

When Sun Ce surrendered, Jiang Qin and Pan Zhang also surrendered? Put them in the navy to serve? With five outstanding naval generals, the formation of the navy was naturally much easier.

Come to Dongmu Port? It is east of Dongmu County, Donglai County? In fact, it was later Weihai Port and the main port of the Han Dynasty. You can reach Liaodong County to the north? You can reach Lelang County by walking straight to the east.

In Dahan, it should be the most cost-effective port. As for the port in Wujun? That is, the later Hangzhou Port? The cost-effective port is not high. You have to arrive in Dongzhi County south before you can continue to explore Penglai Island south.

Fortunately, there are two counties along the way, namely Taizhou and Wenzhou in later generations? Don’t worry about insufficient supplies.

"Are you still used to it at sea?" When I came to the port barracks? Liu Tao went to meet the navy chief Gan Ning in person.

"The sea is much bumpy than the river surface, and the climate change is stronger. However, the sea ship style given by Your Majesty has been initially judged to be feasible, and the subsequent one is waiting for the real big ship to be built." Gan Ning said excitedly.

He prefers to surf the sea than to wave on the river? Especially when he knows that there are countless islands on the vast sea? There are even unknown continents, he seems to have awakened the soul of the adventurer.

The navy of the Han Dynasty? In fact, it is also a Han Dynasty expedition team. In the future, the people also encourage it. But the main thing is the military. There must be some sweetness first? Then it can stimulate others to explore.

Another reason for the discouragement at the beginning is the same sentence: insufficient population, and I don’t want too many to die at sea.

Otherwise, in order to find the gimmicks of the three major fairy mountains, many people probably want to go out to sea to explore. If they do not have enough preparation and sufficient experience, then going out to sea is basically seeking death.

It is of course useful to be able to deceive some old-fashioned families. However, for Liu Tao, the most important thing about the current Han Dynasty is population, and there is no need to learn from foreign excellent experience in controlling population.

China and foreign countries have different national conditions. If you work sincerely in China, there will be hope for you no matter how hard you work; but if you don’t get rich in a foreign country, there is no hope for life.

The middle class maintains the most basic decent. In order to maintain this decent, they have to work hard and pray for not getting sick or an epidemic.

People at the bottom, let alone renting a house, those with a house may even pay the property tax very hard. Not to mention suddenly losing their jobs and unable to pay the property tax, the tax bureau finally auctioned the house. Yes, you can own your own house and land, but if you can't pay the tax on maintaining the land and house, then I'm sorry, the house is not yours!

By the way, this tax is paid once a year...

If you want to turn around, you can only get rich. If you want to get rich, you can take risks or become famous. So you can basically see various "population control" series. From this perspective, this is really the policy of those countries controlling population.

"How are you exploring the near-shore waterway?" Liu Tao asked, now is the time to remember.

"According to Your Majesty's wishes, we have tried our best to explore the near-sea channel and confirm the appropriate route. At the same time, according to the 'master' calculation method taught by Your Majesty, we infer the location of each port. Even if we deviate from the near-sea, we can still know the approximate route by relying on the theodolite." Gan Ning said excitedly.

The most feared thing about sailing in the sea is to lose direction, but as long as you know where the port is, it will be much easier to return.

In fact, it is not just the theodolite, but Liu Tao also sets the 0° meridian of the prime meridian in Luoyang.

"In the future, there will be more and more similar routes, and more locations will be located. At that time, every person who goes to sea will not forget your contributions, and you will become a great navigator who is famous in history because of this!" Liu Tao said passionately.

"I must do my best!" Gan Ning was so excited that he immediately expressed his opinion.

"Recently, we have started to communicate with Japan." Liu Tao immediately got to the point, "When the big ship was built and the trial voyage was completed, I hope you can explore Penglai and Yingzhou. You can either go from the abbot or Tsuma Island to Japan, and set up two ports in the northern and southern Kyushu as a trading port with Japan."

"Wouldn't it be better to just fight down the Japanese land?" Gan Ning didn't understand.

"Because we don't have that many people in the past, and immigration to overseas is different from immigration to the Western Regions. Whether it is the south of the Yangtze River or the Western Regions, at least we can find a way to come back. If we immigrate to overseas, we have to stay overseas for the rest of our lives. The people must be mentally prepared, which will take some time." Liu Tao explained.

If possible, of course he planned to destroy Japan and occupy all four islands. Insufficient population is not the biggest resistance. What is important is that immigration overseas is indeed not favored by most people.

If you want to play the voyage, Liu Tao felt that you could start with Sanxian Mountain and use myths and legends to lure people to live in the past. After getting used to it, you could start to move to Japan and Hainan Island, and then it would be much easier to move to Southeast Asia and other things in the future.
