Chapter 106 Formation of the Naval Camp
In Liangshan Town, several shirtless men stood in front of Chu Tian.
Cough... Chutian just wanted to pick out a navy commander.
With a population of 60,000 to 70,000, Xia Town and all the villages and towns finally have the ability to form a fleet that can cross the Yi River.
The southern part of Kaiyang County is divided into Hedong and Hexi. As the name suggests, the place east of the Yi River is Hedong, and the place to the west is Hexi. Some ancient naming methods are so unpretentious.
Chutian's territory is in Hexi, and further west is the scope of Taishan County. There are still many villages and towns in Hedong waiting for Chutian to conquer.
One problem he faces is the Yi River, which has expanded tenfold in size.
If you want to conquer the villages and towns in the east of the river, you must have a boat.
Liangshan Town has a third-level shipyard and a fourth-level wharf. It was originally a gathering place for the water bandits "Liangshanbo". After being occupied by Chutian, it became the resident of the naval battalion to be established in Xiazhen.
To set up a navy camp, the first thing you need is talent, a navy general.
There are countless famous navy generals in the Eastern Han Dynasty, basically from the forces in the Jiangdong area, such as the Eastern Wu, Eastern Jin, Southern Dynasties, Southern Song, Nanming, or the Great Unification Dynasty.
However, at present, the historical naval generals owned by the player lords are rare, and there is a lord in Yangzhou who has Liu Renzhan, a famous general of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Chutian did not have a navy general, so he could only choose a silver-level hero to serve as the navy commander. Later, when there was a historical navy general, he would be appointed as a navy general.
Bronze and silver heroes are still easy to find, they are equivalent to high-level minions.
The four silver-level heroes in front of them are all well versed in water and can be used for transition.
Chutian checked the properties one by one.
【Name】: Sun Liuwan
[Talent]: Silver Level (Navy Hero)
[Level]: 45
[Identity]: Resident of Liangshan Town, familiar with water
[Commander]: 35 [Force]: 51 [Intelligence]: 36 [Politics]: 11 [Charm]: 65
[Characteristics]: Water General · Small (D-level characteristic, during water battle, own attack power and defense power +5, naval division's attack power and defense power +1)
The characteristics of navy heroes are so fierce?
Chutian found that navy heroes have additional attack and defense bonuses in water battles.
This is the hidden attribute of all heroes and soldiers other than force, which can make up for the lack of force under special circumstances.
In other words, the generals of Cao Wei and Shu Han may not be able to beat the generals of Soochow in the water battle, and they may even be beaten and flee.
"Lord" has a clear positioning for each general. If the lord is used well, it can have the effect of defeating the strong by the weak.
"Sun Liuwan, from now on, I will appoint you as the commander of the navy battalion and train the navy battalion."
Chutian was very satisfied with Sun Liuwan's characteristics and military strength. Although the commander's ability was a bit ugly, Chutian's view was that there was not much difference between the 30-plus commander's ability and the 40-plus commander's ability.
With the current size of the navy in Xia Town, a fierce general with good characteristics is more practical.
"Liangshan Town has assembled all the ships capable of water warfare in our territory. There are two boats and 37 sentry ships. It requires more than 300 sailors and more than 100 sailors and soldiers."
Xia Xia Liang followed Chu Tian with the account book that recorded the supplies in Xia Town. As long as Chu Tian asked about money and material reserves, she could answer them right away.
If Fang Xuanling is Chutian's male secretary, then Xia Xia Liang is Chutian's female secretary...
One's thinking is biased towards ancient Confucianism, and one's thinking is biased towards the modern concept of the supremacy of interests.
It can only be said that each has its own advantages and disadvantages, which is the reason why Chutian wants two different styles of long history.
Fang Xuanling is better at handling military affairs and government affairs, while Xia Xia Liang is more suitable for trade and financial management, as well as the player's advantage - the player knows what's going on outside the Eastern Han District,
Therefore, Xia Xia Liang can come up with the idea of making money from sticks and Japanese pirates. The specialties of the Eastern Han District are quite popular in the Eastern Continent.
There is another Li Kui... But Li Kui has been busy leading people to reclaim farmland and build water conservancy projects, but there are not many opportunities to be by Chutian's side, and he cannot be regarded as a secretary.
"Recruit 400 fighters and 150 professional soldiers, including 50 navy foot soldiers and 100 navy archers."
Chutian formally established the first navy battalion.
The navy battalion seemed to have a large number of people, a total of 550 people, but after careful analysis of its composition, most of them were shovels who had no combat power, that is, Xiangyong who rowed oars.
The main purpose of the navy battalion is to transport troops and grain on the Yi River.
It is impossible to really want to establish the Soochow Naval Division on the Yi River.
However, it is not a loss to train the fighters. In the future, these fighters who are familiar with water can also be pulled to Jiaozhou Bay or the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers for water battles. The premise is that Chutian is qualified to drink horses on the Yangtze River.
"I will try to keep my husband's salary as low as possible."
Summer is cool already thinking about saving money.
Chu Tian said: "The money that should be spent must be spent."
Xia Tianliang sighed helplessly: "Lord Lord, do you know how tight the finances are now? The Xiliu Camp costs three thousand taels of silver every month, and you have to build a pair of double-armor for each of them. There are 400 war horses forage. One warhorse eats food equivalent to several professional soldiers every day. We managed to repay the loan from the bank. It’s cool that you are fighting in front of you, but…”
Hearing Xia Xia Liang complaining, Chu Tian understood the truth of not being home and not knowing Chai Mi Gui.
The army in front is like a broken bamboo. In addition to excellent commanders, there must be strong logistics.
Every time Liu Bang fought with Xiang Yu and exhausted his troops, Xiao He's supplies from the rear came in, so that he could persevere.
Seeing Xia Liang's eyes turning red, Chu Tian listened patiently. It is normal for the logistics staff to complain a little, especially now that Xia Town is developing rapidly, Xia Liang, who is the mayor of the city, faces a financial deficit, and is facing a bankruptcy crisis, sleeps no more than six hours a day.
Xia Xia Liang calmed down a little, blushed for his gaffe, and at the same time surprised Chu Tian's patience: "Sorry, I lost my composure for a while..."
"No matter who is in this position, there will be pressure. If you have pressure, you have to try to vent. There is really no object to vent, so you can tell me in private. Of course, in front of other people, you have to maintain my dignity."
Chutian didn't think there was anything, it was rather normal. At such a young age, he managed the finances and trade of the territory of tens of thousands of people. To say that there was no pressure, most of them were mediocrity.
Those things that can be prime ministers and county magistrates as soon as they come up, without changing their face, and handling government affairs in one sight and ten lines, can only happen in novels.
Xia Xianliang nodded: "Yes. The Mi family in Donghai County heard about your achievements and expressed their willingness to cooperate more with us. From celadon to raw silk, silk, paper, and hemp rope, the monthly transaction volume exceeds two A thousand taels of silver."
The investment of the Mi family was expected by Chutian: "When we sit in Langya in the future, the Mi family will probably support us with all their strength. If you inquire about the birth dates of important people in the Mi family, send someone to give gifts in my name during the holidays. , to deepen the relationship with the Mi family. Although the property of the Mi family may not be regarded as the things we send, but the courtesy is light and affectionate, and they will need their support to consolidate Xuzhou in the future. Liu Bei's starting capital, I want it. "
