Chapter 229
"I will give you some of it for training. When the shipbuilding ability is improved in the future, our navy's warships will be replaced with new warships, so you don't have to worry." Chen Xun comforted.
"Okay..." Ke Lei also understood in his heart that this Qingzhou naval battle could be said to have annihilated all the water forces that could be fought in the north. The Jiangbei Navy's main task for a long time in the future is "transport", and using old warships is more suitable.
"The same right to recruit and expand yourself, and use all the warships in your hands as soon as possible." Chen Xun said: "In addition, we will arrange a difficult task for you two."
"Please give instructions from the governor." The two saluted and waited at the same time.
"Kore, this time the Koryoi Kingdom sent troops to the war, it can be said that it completely betrayed the previous alliance with us Han people. In addition, my Chen family's merchant ships were treated unfairly in Goryo many times, so I plan to destroy this country from the sea."
All the generals on the scene were shocked by Chen Xun's idea.
In future generations, they will definitely say something in their minds: "Are you not afraid of pulling the ball when you are so big?"
"Governor, is it too rash to make another enemy?" Ke Lei persuaded tactfully.
"Who are our enemies now?" Chen Xun asked back.
"The Song Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River was all unscathed, and the Jiangbei was still in chaos. The Jin Dynasty's army went south was wiped out one after another. The Sun Zheng's army advancing west was likely to fight with the Western Xia, and the Tubo tribes in the west might also wait for an opportunity to advance east. If there is a Goryeo country, I am worried that the military government will not be able to take care of it." Ke Lei replied.
Han Shizhong and Yue Fei sat beside each other and were stunned. It turned out that the Chen family army was so powerful that they could attack from all directions.
"Let's talk about the Song Dynasty in Jiangnan. There are no leaders. In the future, the most likely to be divided. The only things that can threaten us are prefectures and counties around Guangnan East Road, and Lu Hui is on Guangnan East Road, which is not afraid." Chen Xun began to analyze to the generals one by one: "I won't talk about the Hebei routes. The main force of my Chen family army is in Hebei, just to deal with them."
"Besides, the Jin Kingdom has lost 300,000 troops in Hebei in succession, which is already damaged. They are not without enemies in the north. The remaining enemies of the Liao Kingdom have not been cleaned up, and the Mongolian tribes in the west are eyeing each other and are unable to move south. As long as we maintain the offensive against the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, they will only be unable to take care of themselves."
"The Western Xia, Tubo tribes in the west, and the Western Army of Song State before could withstand it, but our Chen family army could not withstand it?"
"In the end, after this battle, the Hebei Navy had more than 3,000 warships. So many ships could not leave them idle, so I plan to train troops from Goryeo and train a water and Lu Jiyi's elite naval and marine force." Chen Xun said his ultimate goal.
"The army will not participate in this battle with Goryeo?" Ke Lei's eyes widened.
"Yes, fighting against Goryeo, you can attack and retreat or go into the sea to temporarily suspend the renovation. It can be said that the initiative is all in our army. This battle is not difficult, and I will not give you a deadline. Just think that it is a training ground. When I rectify the Central Plains, if you can develop a strong army that is suitable for both water, you will be the main force of the military government's overseas expansion power in the future." Chen Xun drew a big pie.
"As a result, I guarantee that this task will be completed successfully!" Ke Lei immediately stood up and saluted.
"Governor, where am I? Where is our Jiangnan navy? Li Chao or Ma Yi?" Wang Yuan quickly took the mission, not wanting to fall behind Ke Lei.
"What nonsense is that if we do it with Li Dynasty and Ma Yi again, we will be very powerful." Chen Xun rolled his eyes: "Developing the Great Ryukyu has restrained most of the energy of the Jiangbei Navy, and we must maintain trade with the countries in the South China Sea. If you can really free up your hands without affecting these two main tasks, you can try to attack Qiongzhou Island."
"Qiongzhou Island, no problem, just take a look. Within two years, I will definitely let the iron ore of Qiongzhou flood all walks of life in the military government." Speaking of Qiongzhou Island, Wang Yuan immediately thought of the giant iron ore that the Changhua Army had already determined its location.
"It's not just iron ore. There should be a huge coal mine in the northeast of Li Chao, close to Qinzhou. The coal here is smoke-free after ignition, which is very suitable for coking and iron smelting. It can be purchased from here to transport it to the Changhua Army. In the Changhua Army, the iron ore is refined into iron ingots, or even directly into iron tools and then transported back to the inland." This is the benefit of having memories of later generations, and many things can be avoided by avoiding many detours.
Even if you don’t have golden fingers, even if you are not very smart, people from later generations traveled to ancient times and could basically make a career with the "prophet".
Vietnam's Hongji anthracite was comparable to Ningxia anthracite in later generations, and Chen Xun happened to know this.
With this knowledge point, the military government can completely establish a steel production complex in the Changhua Army and build a huge heavy industry production chain.
It just so happens that both places can use cheap shipping, and industrial products can cover inland coastal and southeastern coastal areas through sea routes. The market is vast and will definitely become an important source of fiscal revenue for the military government in the future.
"I remember, Governor." Wang Yuan planned to return to the south this time, so he sent someone to the Li Dynasty.
When I went to and from the South China Sea before, I had heard that the indigenous people in the northeast of the Li Dynasty used coal stone to cook, but I didn’t expect that there was a huge coal mine here.
"General Han." After arranging his own tasks, Chen Xun turned the topic to Han Shizhong.
"Governor, the last general is here." Han Shizhong tactfully chose to claim the same as others.
"I have two choices for you now. One is that I will send you a boat to the Liaodong Peninsula and regularly transport you sufficient food and fodder supplies. You can take your old subordinates and use this as a basis to gradually guide the Jurchens' nest, the former Tokyo Road of the Liao Kingdom."
This choice can allow Han Shizhong to gain the greatest autonomy and obtain the same rights as Yue Fei for self-recruitment and expansion, but a little bit outside the article, if Han Shizhong chooses this path, the support given by the military government in terms of weapons and equipment will have certain limitations.
The most advanced weapons will definitely be used first by their own people. The non-staff army can only use weapons and equipment eliminated by the main army.
But compared to the Jurchens, the weapons eliminated by the Chen family army are also considered advanced weapons.
Han Shizhong did not interrupt and waited for Chen Xun to say the second choice.
"Or, you can join Ke Lei's Hebei Navy, assist him in attacking the Goryeo Kingdom, and train the Marine Corps."
The second path is equivalent to directly recruiting Han Shizhong's generals. In order to ensure Ke Lei's authority, some of Han Shizhong's original subordinates would be defeated in other armies.
