Chapter 642

Tian Feng's words not only made Zhou Qin anxious, but also made Jiang Qin unable to sit down beside him. He stood up and said with a salute: "my Lord, my lords, the plan for the expansion of the army made by the two generals is that our state army completely controls the four prefectures of our state and has the troops needed to protect the waterway between leting and Luoyang. However, the generals also know the recent situation of our state, so this plan is just the most ideal situation for our navy Of course, if the water forces need to control the whole river, they are not enough. "

"Oh," Lou GUI said with a smile, "according to the two generals, how large-scale navy can adapt to the current situation of our state?"

After meditating, Jiang qinlue said, "it is estimated that at least 40000 troops will be needed."

As soon as Jiang Qin's voice fell, Tian Feng immediately rose up against him. In this stubborn old man's opinion, there was no strong enemy of the water army around SZU. The only strong enemy of the water army was the Jizhou army. According to his many years of experience in Jizhou, Han Fu was far from being a capricious villain, although he was not a Ming Lord. Moreover, he and Yuan Shao had become deadly enemies, so he couldn't do it at all Because of the severance of diplomatic relations with Sizhou, the waterway of Sizhou was extremely safe and there was no need to expand so many water forces.

But Zhou Tai's idea is not like this. No one should place his safety on others, so the best way is to be strong. What Zhou Tai and Zhou Tai said is not without reason. The four prefectures of Sizhou are divided into two parts by the river. Although several big ports are controlled by the water army, there are still some small places that can cross the river. The water army must patrol these places frequently to prevent anything out of control.

Another point is that the commercial road from leting to Luoyang has a certain distance to pass through the area of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. The water army must increase its strength to protect the water army. We should know that although there is no strong water army between the two families, we can still make trouble with some ships.

So general Zhou jianger and Tian Lou argued with each other. They were just like the shopping malls that Huangfu Chaobo had seen before. I'd like to add some, but you'd like to reduce some. They came and went all the time, and they were so fierce that Huangfu Chaobo was stunned.

After a long time, Tian Feng stuck the water army establishment at 20000, and he would never give up. Let Zhou Tai and Zhou Tai jump like thunder, or ask each other in soft language. The old man just said, "no money!"

After half a day's hard work, both of them were defeated one after another. Finally, they had to look at their master with the help of their eyes. Seeing this, Huangfu Chaobo looks at Xu Shu and Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong got up and said, "the general of the navy is not familiar with it. However, there may be a small number of 20000 Navy. What's Xu's opinion?"

Xu Shu grew up and said: "Lord, according to the opinion of the lower officials, 20000 water troops are really small, but it is not realistic to reach 50000 or 60000 water troops according to the current situation of our state. Therefore, in my opinion, 30000 water troops are enough to maintain the current needs of our state."

Next, Xu Shu explained his idea in detail to the public. According to his idea, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, two naval generals, led by two academies, were stationed in Pingjin port and Hanoi port respectively. The other one was used to guard the commercial road, and Wang's army was like a soldier.

There are also five water forces, just like the city garrisons, stationed in leting and small water villages in Sizhou. The water troops guarding the commercial road can be sent out in turn by the five schools, so that the water troops of each school can be sent out in turn.

In fact, Huangfu Chaobo's ideal water army establishment is about 30000, because there are no other big water army and water thieves except Jizhou water army in Sizhou or along the river. Jizhou water army and itself are allies, so it should not pose a threat to Sizhou at present. In addition to the convoy of a school of water army, the 24500 water army can fully guarantee the water safety of Sizhou.

Seeing that both Tian Feng and Zhou Tai seemed to have to get up and talk again, Huangfu chaobolian said in a hurry: "OK, let's both sit down. Commander Xu's suggestion coincides with the general's idea. 30000 water troops are the maximum that our state can bear at present. Moreover, the expansion of water troops can't be promoted. How are you going to arrange for general Zhou, warships and soldiers? "

Zhou Tai said: "since the formation of the water army, the end will have been training soldiers. At present, there is already a school of soldiers who can get on the ship. If the Lord agrees to expand the army, the end will be ready to send people back to Jingzhou and Yangzhou to recruit and surrender some of the water pirates. If there is no problem, one school of soldiers can be recruited, and others need to be recruited within the territory of the state. As for ships, they can only be purchased from all parts of our state and Jizhou. "

After hearing this, Lou GUI got up and asked, "can't we increase the output of our shipyards?"

Jiang Qin replied: "there is no good water surface along the river to build large docks. For example, the building ships of Jizhou water army were built in huangze Lake beside Neihuang, and then they were transported to Liyang water village by Baigou water. Even so, although the dock of huangze lake is also a large dock, the speed of building ships is also very slow, and our state does not even have the water surface of huangze lake, so

Huangfu Chaobo immediately responded and thought, "yes, there are really no conditions for building large and medium-sized shipyards on both sides of the Yellow River. No wonder in history, Cao Cao wanted to dig a Xuanwu pool in Yecheng for shipbuilding. That's why people in Jiangdong laughed for decades.That's not to say that the drawings of the large-scale port and the huge dock in his hands are all in vain! I'll go. Thinking of this, Huangfu Chaobo can't help scolding Keng dad. He immediately told the public that he had a large port and a huge dock in his hands. When Zhou Tai heard this, they were very happy first, and then they were like a ball of frustration. There was no suitable water surface. No matter how many of these drawings there were, they were useless.

After hearing this, Tian Feng asked again, "general Zhou, how long will it take to complete the expansion of the 30000 Navy?"

Zhou Tai Lue said thoughtfully, "it will take about a year for the ships to be expanded and the training time for Navy sergeants to be added."

After listening to him, Tian Feng was relieved. Looking at Tian Fengru's appearance of bearing a heavy load, Huangfu Chaobo couldn't help but smile at each other.

"Well, then the expansion of the Navy will be settled. General Zhou and Tian Biejia can discuss the specific situation. There is also the arrangement of the principal generals of each school. The two generals will determine the personnel as soon as possible, and then submit them to our general. Well, it's hard work in the early morning. Let's get busy. " Seeing that the matter had been settled, Huangfu Chaobo immediately ordered him to leave
