Chapter 640

Lu Zhi looked up at the sky and said, "Lord Lou can go back to Luoyang first, but I won't go back to Luoyang. I'll check around here first, and I'll make do with it in the evening."

"Mr. Lu, the general once said that if you are recovering from a serious illness, you'd better not sleep out. It's less than an hour to return to Luoyang. It won't take much time to come back tomorrow. It's still important for your health." When Lou GUI heard this, he immediately stepped forward and stopped;

Lu Zhi also knew that everyone was thinking about their own health, and he no longer insisted on sleeping here. However, it was still early, so he decided to look around again. He had a preliminary idea in his heart, so he promised Lou GUI that he would only turn around again, but he would return to Luoyang to have a rest Luoyang.

however, for Lu's safety and convenience, Lou GUI still arranged a clerk to Luzhi to follow him, and let Huang dance a tune of cavalry to protect him from the guards.

As soon as Huangfu Chaobo, who returned to Pingdong general's residence, sat down, he heard Shi a reporting outside the door, and Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin asking for a meeting outside the door. After hearing this, Huangfu Chaobo suddenly realized that he had not had a good talk with the two navy generals for a long time. He didn't know how the current situation of the navy was, so he immediately ordered them to come in.

A moment later, they came to the lobby and saw Huangfu Chaobo sitting on the main seat. They quickly took a few steps and said, "I'll see you at the end of the day!"

"Well, two generals, please get up." Huangfu Chaobo looked at them with a smile and said,

"Lord Xie!" Zhou Taier is humane;

"what can I do for you Huangfu Chaobo said;

they looked at each other, and Zhou Tai got up and said, "my Lord, it's for the Navy that they asked to see each other today."

"I haven't asked about the water army for a long time because I had a lot of affairs a while ago. It's just the right time for you to come here today. I'll explain the situation of the water army in detail."

"The end will take orders!" Zhou Tai got up and replied respectfully;

Luoyang water army, oh, it should be called Sizhou water army now. At present, only Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin lead one school water army each, plus Zhou Yi's two water armies.

According to the establishment of Sizhou water army, the establishment of one school water army is 5000 soldiers and 5000 sailors, including one building ship, five fighting ships, 10 Chima ships, 20 Maotu ships, 30 gachong ships and 40 zoge ships; while the establishment of one school water army is 1000 soldiers and 1000 sailors, including two fighting ships, six Maotu ships, 10 gachong ships and 10 zoge ships.

In addition, he has 50 DAHAO vessels, 20 large freighters and 10 sea going vessels purchased from Jiangdong. These are all the belongings in the hands of the state water army. As for those small fishing boats and all kinds of small freighters, they have all been sold to the people or the Zilong society.

However, these 12000 water forces need to defend Mengjin port, xiaopingjin port and Hanoi port. In addition, Maojin port in Shanxian County of Hongnong County, wushejin port in Gongxian County, hulaoguan water village and leting port in leting town now have three big ports, four small ports and seven ports to garrison, and waterway transportation between leting and Luoyang also need to be escorted by water forces. After such a calculation, the more than 10000 water troops are far from meeting the needs of the prefecture.

Listen to two people count, Huangfu Chaobo this just found that his water army is really a little too small. You know, the Yellow River in Sizhou passes through the territory. If the navy is not enough to guard the major ports, then the defense of Sizhou is full of loopholes.

After pondering for a moment, Huangfu Chaobo said: "in the view of the two generals, how much should the Sizhou Navy be expanded to be enough?"

Looking at each other, Zhou Tai said: "as far as the general knows, there are about 50000 Jingzhou water forces in Xiangyang, 30000 in Jiangxia, and 30000 in Yangzhou."

Hearing this, Huangfu Chaobo immediately called for a stop and said, "stop, stop... Jingzhou and Yangzhou are different from our state. There are many waterways in the south of the Yangtze River, so the proportion of water army will certainly be much higher. Our army has only one waterway, and it is impossible to set up water army according to their situation. "

When Zhou Tai saw that his careful thinking had been seen through by Huangfu Chaobo, he didn't care. He just laughed and said, "don't worry, my Lord. I didn't want to expand the army according to the water army of Jingyang and Yangzhou. I just want to explain the situation of the water army of each state to my Lord."

"In terms of Jizhou's situation, according to general Pan Feng, Jizhou's troops are mainly in baimajin of Liyang and cangtingjin of Yangping. According to general Pan Feng, because baimajin is close to Yecheng, there are about 20000 water troops and 10000 soldiers, while cangtingjin has only 10000 water troops and 5000 soldiers. "

"The waterway of Shuijun in our company is much longer than that of Jizhou army. It starts from suanzao in the East, ends at Fenglingdu in the west, and ends at Hejin in the north. It's such a long distance, but now there are only more than ten thousand Shuijun. My Lord, this water army is not to be repeated by you, is it

Looking at Zhou Tai's eyes as if she were a bitter lady, Huang Fu Chao Bo couldn't help getting goose bumps all over. He even said, "OK, OK, don't look at Ben with this kind of eyes. You know, although there are four counties in our state, only two and a half of them are controlled by us. Two of them are still full of waste, and the water army is a big spender. The two generals will rest assured that this general also knows that the Navy needs to increase its strength. "After that, Huangfu Chaobo stood up and walked around the house for a few times. Then he said, "well, the two generals will make a plan first, and the Japanese people will be invited to have a discussion. What do the two generals think?"

"Well, well... Lord, the last general has calculated carefully. Our army now has three big water strongholds, three small water strongholds, plus leting and the water army escorting all the way. We need about 60000 water army in total. Now our state is not a garrison. There are nearly four battalions and 80000 troops. Our navy only needs to maintain three battalions and less than 60000 troops. " With that, Zhou Tai handed out the plan for the expansion of the Navy that had already been prepared.

"Poof..." Huangfu Chaobo, who was holding up his tea cup and drinking tea, immediately spurted out a mouthful of tea, all of which was sprayed on Zhou Tai's face, which was flattering and smiling. A few pieces of tea were still hanging on him.

"Cough..." Huangfu Chaobo immediately got up and apologized and said, "I'm sorry, you Ping. I didn't mean to do it. It's really

"No harm, no harm, my Lord. As long as my lord agrees with the plan for the expansion of the Navy, let alone tea, my lord orders that my subordinates be dragged out and beaten, my subordinates are willing to." However, Zhou Tai didn't care at all. After wiping off the tea on his face, the thief said with a smile;
