Chapter 1191

"Today, the shipbuilding workshop has already produced a bucket ship, but the speed is still too slow. It took half a year to produce one. The main reason is that on the one hand, there was not enough wood in the early stage, and on the other hand, the craftsman's level was too low, so the production speed could not be improved. Now, after more than a year, the wood we collected at the beginning has been completely dried and can be used for reference There is no problem with raw materials for the dock, but the craftsman is not enough, so... " Zhou ran explained to Huangfu Chaobo;

"there are not enough craftsmen. Do you mean there are not enough senior craftsmen?" Huangfu Chaobo recognized his meaning and asked after him;

"King Shengming!" Zhou ran quietly flattered.

After a little thought, Huangfu Chaobo said, "well, shuanghecheng shipyard has been relocated to Changshan Island City, and Qingdao City shipyard has been gradually reducing the number of ships. If Qingdao shipyard had stopped production, it would have planned to arrange all its craftsmen to go to Changshan Island City shipyard, but the conditions of Changshan Island are really limited. Well, you can give orders to Qingdao city, Give the craftsmen there to Zongyang shipyard for the time being, but you must tell Gu, "if there are enough people, how long will it take to train all the ten thousand sailors of the two schools?"

After listening to Huangfu Chaobo's words, Zhou ran was overjoyed and said without hesitation, "please rest assured that if the ships can be in place on time, you will surely be able to serve the king. This year, you will train 10000 Elite Water troops for the king. Although you can't be as elite as your elder brother and general Jiang, you won't lose to general Pan's Fubo camp."

After listening to him, Huangfu Chaobo couldn't help laughing. No matter when he was in the army, the strong were respected, and so was the water army of the Tang Dynasty. Among the four battalions of the water army, Zhou Tai's Hengjiang camp and Jiang Qin's Nu Tao camp are the two most elite of the water army. Pan Feng's Fubo camp, though the longest in the army, is obviously more powerful It is weaker than Hengjiang and Nutao camps, and is equivalent to Zhenhai camp of Zhonglang general Zhouyi in Zhenhai.

Zhou Ran is also cunning. Not to mention the Zhenhai camp of Zhou Yi, a close confidant of Huangfu Chaobo, he dares to compare Pan Feng's Fubo camp. It has to be said that Pan Feng's Fubo camp will be at the bottom of the Tang Navy in time.

"You can rest assured that the ship's affairs will be supervised by your own people as soon as possible, but you really need to be more careful in the training of naval officers and soldiers."

"Don't worry, my Lord. I won't trust you. Just in the matter of shipbuilding, please ask the king to build a building ship first, so that the soldiers can use it..."

"Well..." Huangfu Chaobo nodded noncommittally: "let's talk about it later. Let's go. Let's have a look at the situation of the school water army you have trained first."

"No!" Zhou ran answered the promise with his fists, and immediately invited Huangfu Chaobo and his party to the command console of Shuizhai. He ordered the troops to gather.

Soon, the 5000 Marines ran out of the barracks with the sound of war drums and ran to their ships. After boarding the ships, soon all the sails of the ships rose.

Then the warships came out of the water stronghold and stood in array hundreds of steps away from the water stronghold. According to the establishment of the Tang army, the standard establishment of the first naval academy is 5000 soldiers and 1000 sailors. Among them, there are 106 warships, including one building ship, five fighting ships, 10 Chima ships, 20 Maotu ships, 30 gachong ships and 40 zoge ships. However, because there are no building ships in the Lujiang River, the building ships of 1000 soldiers have been changed into two fighting ships that can carry 500 soldiers, so there are 106 warships on the lake today.

With the orders of Zhou ran from the main ship, more than 100 warships were practicing various naval tactics on the lake. Standing on the command platform of the water stronghold, Huangfu Chaobo could clearly see the warships on the lake constantly opening and closing, practicing various tactics. At least from the perspective of the performance, the cooperation between these soldiers was very good, but I didn't know What will it be like to be on the battlefield.

However, these still need time to verify. Because Huangfu Chaobo didn't want to stimulate the state of Wu too much, he didn't allow large ships such as fighting ships to appear on the river. Even the red horse ships couldn't go out all at once. Therefore, although the state of Wu knew that the Tang had warships on the Lujiang River, he didn't know that in a short period of one year, it had been a long time Even the 500 man battleship has been equipped.

……

After staying in Zongyang for a day, Huangfu Chaobo left here, accompanied by kongxin people, and went to the next destination Yuqian City, which was the foothold of Yuan Yao after Jiling people broke out. However, Huangfu Chaobo thought that the name was really Taidao, so he changed it to Yuexi County. After Yuan Yao surrendered, Zuo Zucheng sent officials to take over the city. Now it has become a county in Lujiang County.

From Anhui county, along the diving road to the Northwest for more than 30 Li, then turn to the north, walk about 50 Li, then arrive at Yuexi. As soon as I saw the scale of Yuexi County, Huangfu Chaobo couldn't help but smack his tongue. If it wasn't for Yuan Yao who built the city here, no one would have thought that there was such a big valley in the mountain, which could accommodate tens of thousands of people.

After Yuexi County was brought under the rule of Lujiang County, Zuo Chengzu began to arrange for the construction of an official road which can accommodate a large number of freight cars. The reason for this arrangement is that there are a lot of various minerals around Yuexi County. These minerals can not be smelted as soon as possible only by the craftsmen of Yuexi County, so the best way is to build it Take it out of the mountain and transport it to the county city for training.After leaving Yuexi, Huangfu Chaobo went all the way west to Xunyang County, the most western county of Lujiang County. It was the only land passage between Jiangxia County of Jingzhou and Lujiang County of Yangzhou that could pass through the army. After holding Xunyang, he blocked the passage of Jiangxia army into Lujiang River. So Huangfu Chaobo didn't pay attention to it. He specially arranged Han Siam and the first school soldiers here There are already 3000 garrisons in Shangxian County, and there are 8000 garrisons here. With the ability of Jingzhou army and huangzu, Huangfu Chaobo believes that Xunyang foot has no problem in three or five months under the siege of 40000 or 50000 troops.

There is no way to do this. Although the Jingzhou army has no intention to move eastward for the time being, it's hard to guarantee that Liu Biao or Huang Zuhui will have some other thoughts once the war starts in the north. You know, Liu Biao once had the idea of Wuling County, which is the sword of the spirit, last year. If you know that you don't have the energy to take care of Lujiang County, maybe Liu Biao really dares to send troops to Lujiang.
