Chapter 1399 Ship Reading

"Woooo~~"

At the end of the Yin hour, just when Chen Xu arrived at the dock, with the sound of trumpets after horns, the five thousand ordinary students of the Maritime Academy and more than a thousand command professionals who had already gotten up and had enough food and drink were all arranged neatly on the dock according to their respective establishments. The students were all uniformly equipped with uniform clothing, long trousers and short hexagrams, ordinary students in white, commanders and instructors in black uniforms, all standing in front, with a serious and serious face, and at the same time, there was unconcealed pride and excitement in their eyes.

A few years ago, these instructors were still lonely and helpless young men in the mountains and fields. However, with Chen Xu's investment and hard training, they all grew up to become the mighty naval instructors at present. The more than 6,000 people in front of them were trained step by step. Today, the Marquis will personally review their training results, and they finally have the opportunity to take these trainees on the warships of the Daqin Hai Division to conquer North Korea thousands of miles away.

In this battle, you are willing to win but not lose.

This is an order conveyed by Dean Cao and leaders at all levels of the Maritime Academy.

Moreover, for this battle, the Maritime Academy had been training for four months. Just looking at the queues arranged neatly on the docks like straight lines, you can know that the training results of these four months were remarkable.

Two thousand muskets have been distributed. The selected students with shooting talent formed two musket regiments, and according to the configuration of 250 people and one sea ship, they formed the eight battleships with the sharpest attack. In addition, there are two flagships, each with eight artillery pieces, including the one that Chen Xu was riding on. This time, the Maritime Academy was also returned to the Maritime Academy to participate in the battle.

The remaining students were equipped with a thousand light crossbows, three thousand grenades and five thousand steel knives to cooperate in combat.

Twenty huge ships lined up at the pier for three miles. Although they had not set off yet, their sharp momentum was already visible.

All the fishing boats in the bay have been ordered not to go to sea today. The coastline around the pier is filled with local fishermen and people who come to watch Qinghehou inspect the fleet.

Before the sun rose, the east began to turn red.

On the first day of winter in October, Langya ushered in its most exciting moment in a slight cold and cold manner.

Chen Xu rode a black horse and a red horse. Cao Shen and several senior leaders of the Maritime Academy also rode together and patrolled along the dock. With the sound of horse hooves, Chen Xu's eyes passed by the students from the neatly arranged sea academy in front of him.

"Standing attentively, salute!"

Whenever they arrived in front of a warship, the students arranged on the dock stood at attention and beat their chests under the commander's slogan, looking at each other without squinting, with an uncontrollable joy and excitement in their seriousness.

After a quick inspection, Chen Xu returned to the central flagship position again. Xu Shan, as the training commander, ran to Chen Xu and Cao Shen, and saluted: "Report, all 6,318 students from the first phase of the Maritime Academy were here. Please give me a lecture!"

Chen Xu nodded, Xu Shan took a few steps back and turned around, and Chen Xu walked to the nearest group of commanding students in front of him.

"After a moment! The purpose of today's inspection is to see your daily training results. Now I seem to be quite satisfied, but the real inspection is still behind. That is to conquer the three Korean tribes of North Korea. After this battle, the Great Qin Sea Division will be officially formed. You will be a brand new combat team of my Great Qin, becoming the most brave and fearless warrior to defend the Great Qin's thousands of miles of sea and expand overseas territory. I won't say much about nonsense. Let's go on the boat and go out to sea to practice, and show me your daily training results!"

"Standing at attention~ Getting on the boat~" Xu Shan blew the bamboo flute.

"Woo~Woo~"

As Xu Shan issued the order, a short horn sounded quickly on the twenty warships lined up in a row. The students lined up all the trainers and followed the built springboards according to the usual training methods. The sound of kicking and stomping was like horses galloping. In less than twenty minutes, the dock became empty in an instant. The students boarded the ship checked the cabin according to the daily training content, and cooperated with the boatmen to lift sails and unzip cables to raise the anchors. The shouts and the sound of the sails rolling in the wind instantly resounded throughout the bay.

"Mr. Please~"

With the sound of horns after horns, when the prepared ships began to turn to the rudder and leave the dock according to the order flag, Chen Xu took Shuingrou with a deputy dean of the Maritime Academy, Hu Kuan, the Langya County Governor who came to watch the fun, and others boarded a brand new merchant ship of Qinghe Leasing Company.

This time, all staff of the Maritime Academy went to sea for inspection. Not all the twenty large ships were warships of the Maritime Academy, most of which were sponsored by Chen Xu's leasing company, and even two of them were flagships.

There is no way, because the cost of these twenty warships alone is as high as more than 13 million yuan, of which only five warships belonging to the academy, and the money of these five was first squeezed out by Cao Shen from the construction funds of the Maritime Academy. Now the Maritime Academy is still in a dilapidated manner, most of the reason is that it is short of money.

Fortunately, there is a wealthy Qinghehou behind the Maritime Academy. The construction of sea ships has started five years ago. Under the advance layout, although the Maritime Academy has only been preparing for the Maritime Academy for five months and is still in poverty, it has already achieved such a huge fleet in front of it.

Chen Xu had no choice but to do this. The court had no money, or it was impossible for the court to invest in a large-scale project with a purpose like him. After all, the court had to take charge of the entire Qin Dynasty. Under certain taxes, it could only be averaged. Every place that needed money could be maintained. It was impossible to eat and drink enough. Especially for projects like the Sea Fleet that needed to spend money desperately, Feng Quji had a headache.

A large seaship cost up to 500,000 yuan. To be able to sail, it requires dozens of skilled ship workers and senior crew members. With various auxiliary equipment and supporting living facilities, a warship must invest at least 200,000 yuan to achieve the state of being able to go to sea to fight. These are real money and no less. If these warships are all equipped with muskets and cannons, it will cost hundreds of thousands of yuan. Therefore, a complete sea division warship must form strong combat power and invest at least one million yuan.

There is still huge uncertainty in sailing on the sea, and the chance of overturning and damage is very high. Once the warship is damaged, the millions of dollars will be wasted. Fortunately, the wooden ship is relatively durable. Generally, as long as it is well maintained, there will be no problem in using it for thirty or forty years, it is a one-time investment.

In order to support the development of Daqin Haishi, Chen Xu asked the leasing company to lend more than ten new ships built in recent months to the Maritime Academy. In addition to daily training, the biggest purpose was to target this plan to conquer North Korea.

The twenty ships of the Maritime Academy in front had all left the shore with the sound of the horns. They followed the two flagships in the front and formed two single-line formations to sail towards the exit of the bay. The flags were waving on the high masts, and the huge sails were swelling. Such a large-scale ship went to sea and made the entire coast cheer and boil.

The review ship that Chen Xu was riding followed behind the two fleets, crossing the shimmering Langya Bay. With the brighter and brighter sky in the east, when a red sun rose from the eastern sea, the huge fleet had already passed through the bay exit and sailed towards the vast blue sea in the wind and waves.

After leaving the bay, the Twenty-Search warships began to line up and slow down, raising the red-bottomed Venus flag. Amid the low horn sounds, Chen Xu's sea boat passed through the two neat fleets.

"Mr. Marquis, it's Peng Yue. I will definitely not embarrass you this time~"

While passing by a warship, a student standing on the deck shouted excitedly.

Chen Xu raised the telescope in his hand and looked at it. It turned out that it was Peng Yue who met in Guangling. He was wearing a uniform student uniform and carrying a musket on his body. He raised his chest and looked no different from other students.

"Okay, I look forward to your good news!" Chen Xu also answered loudly.

"Mr. Xie!" Seeing Chen Xu responding, Peng Yue bowed his hands and yelled excitedly, and this conversation immediately attracted the warm atmosphere of all the students on the ship, and they all yelled excitedly.

"Marty, these students are full of fighting spirit, and this battle is expected!" Hu Kuan, who followed and watched the fun, held up his telescope and said while looking.

"Nonsense, such strict training, coupled with divine thunder muskets and artillery, there will be no big changes in conquering a mere North Korea. The only thing is that the environment and climate may cause errors. In fact, I originally planned to send troops in early September, but unfortunately the boats and ships were not prepared enough weapons, so I delayed for about a month. However, the weather seems to be pretty good now. As long as they find a familiar guide, they will definitely be able to complete the combat mission within a month, because this is not a level of battle at all..."

Chen Xu turned to look at Hu Kuan: "Ten years ago, did you ever think that the Qin Dynasty would have such powerful warships and sharp weapons?"

Hu Kuan put down his telescope and stayed for a long time, shook his head, "Not to mention muskets and cannons, this sailboat is unimaginable. Ten years ago... Ten years ago, Kuan was a casual gangster in Wancheng with Ma Teng, making some money and gambling, just enough food and clothing. If he hadn't met the Marquis, Kuan might have been in Wancheng until his death in his life. Not to mention the sea boat, I guess he wouldn't even see the sea!"

"Director Hu said that since the Marquis was born, the development of the Qin Dynasty over the years has been overwhelming. After the three years of rule in Langya, his subordinates have witnessed the rapid development of Langya with their own eyes. Especially in the past year, since the gold and silver mines in Yingzhou, Korea were discovered, Langya has become extremely lively. After the port is built, the population of Langya County will exceed 200,000, which is not much different from that of Linzi, Qi County..." The governor of Langya County was excited and excited to echoed next to him.

"More than just ten years later, the entire East China Sea will definitely be the most prosperous area near the East China Sea. The population exceeds 500,000 is not a problem. Therefore, the county magistrate of Tian should arrange people to make a long-term plan, and integrate the densely populated areas such as the harbor, the shipyard, the Maritime Academy and the Langya County to develop. Finally, relying on the harbor, Langya will be built into a leading metropolis in the East China Sea, and to plan its own affairs in its position and benefit the people of one official position. Even if the county magistrate of Tian is transferred to another place or the capital in the future, these long-term plans will provide a good development direction for later generations. This is your permanent achievement and will inevitably be remembered by the people of Langya!"
