The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

First Military Division Section 281

Third, give up some unnecessary consumption. . . . . "

Speaking of this, Chen Gong looked at Chen Ziming, and after seeing Chen Ziming looking at him suspiciously, he took a deep breath, and then continued: "Nowadays, all aspects need a lot of food and grass, and all armies are facing strong enemies, so there is nothing to lose. The navy has a huge number, consumes a lot every day, and has no enemies at sea, so the supply of the navy should be suspended..."

After Chen Gong finished speaking, the entire ceremony hall fell silent. Everyone knew that the navy was established by Chen Ziming, and it could not have achieved its current scale without Chen Ziming. It can be said that the navy is Chen Ziming's direct descendant.

Mobilizing the navy is tantamount to mobilizing Chen Ziming, no wonder everyone is silent, and this is why Liu Bei insists that Chen Ziming come back.

Chapter 4 Streamlining the Navy

"Navy..." Chen Ziming suddenly understood why Liu Bei had to let him come back.Because mobilizing the navy is tantamount to denying Chen Ziming's strategic policy.

"I want to know the current size of the navy and how much it consumes?" Chen Ziming was silent for a while, and then looked at an admiral sitting in the military. He was also the spokesperson of the navy in political discussions.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, now the navy has 20 regular troops, 810 large and small warships, divided into five fleets, guarding the five sea areas east of the Han Dynasty, with [-] military port garrison troops, more than [-] warship maintenance personnel, and [-] logistics personnel. The rest of them are distributed in [-] military ports..."

After Chen Ziming heard these statistics, the corners of his mouth twitched. He did not expect that the navy has grown to such a scale. There are 20 navies, more than 800 warships, and more than 30 manned personnel. In other words, they are under the name of the navy. The regular troops reached 50.

Needless to say the rest, the consumption of the navy was originally nearly ten times that of the army, and it was calculated when there was no war. If there was a war, the consumption of the navy would be even more terrifying. It is no wonder that Chen Gong and others want to start with the navy , using limited resources on the army.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, the size of the navy is huge, and its consumption is almost the same as that of the current army." Chen Gong continued: "The sea area of ​​the Han Dynasty is vast, but there is no enemy of the Han Dynasty on the sea. Although there are many lands, there are very few users. , it is difficult to become the support of a big man."

"The ministers and others discussed and believed that the size of the Dahan Navy should be appropriately reduced, unnecessary activities of the navy should be stopped, and the meaningless island garrisons above the sea should be cancelled. The navy only needs to swim quickly in the waters near the Dahan."

After Chen Gong finished speaking, Chen Ziming's face changed. This is the beginning of seclusion. Although there is still no sailing in this era, and there is no ability to explore the overseas world, but this is the first list. Otherwise, after he dies in the future, It is inevitable that there will be people with stubborn thoughts. For the sake of immediate interests, it is not impossible to completely suppress the development of the navy.

But what makes Chen Ziming difficult is that in the current situation, it is difficult to find a reason to refute. The navy has brought a lot of benefits to the big man. The most direct ones are Fuzhou and Yizhou.

"The navy must not stop developing." After sorting out his thoughts, Chen Ziming began to speak, asking everyone in the conference hall to see how this legendary prime minister could break the current situation.

"Big Han is able to achieve the current situation, thanks to the navy." Chen Ziming said: "As we all know, Fuzhou provides tens of millions of gold and silver to the big man every year, which makes the big man develop rapidly, and Fuzhou has not yet been fully developed. Dahan provides more resources."

"Then there is Yizhou. The land is fertile, the climate is suitable, and the grain is harvested twice a year. With one state, the people of the Han and three states can be fed. Absolutely in control."

"From Fuzhou to Yizhou, from north to south, there are countless islands and a line connecting the cities. It can completely protect the big man. It is the defense line of the big man at sea. It must not be lost or abandoned."

Chen Ziming's words silenced everyone. The achievements of the navy are there. It has contributed a lot to the expansion of the territory of the big man.

"Prime Minister, even if a great Han cannot lack a navy, it doesn't need to be of such a size. The sea is vast and boundless, and there are few people in the world. How can there be a strong enemy? Only Jiangdong Sun Quan is far from the enemy of the Han navy today. The ministers think that it is appropriate to keep it. A part of the navy will do."

Chen Gong's words made Chen Ziming speechless. Enemies on the sea, in this era, they are still playing with mud on the road. How can there be any enemies? How can Chen Ziming refute.

But if we don’t develop the navy system now, what will happen in the future? Maybe someday, the navy will disappear with a stroke of the head of the person in power. This is a lesson from history.

"The size of the navy today is indeed too large, which is not conducive to the current situation. It can be appropriately reduced..." Liu Bei, who had been silent all this time, opened his mouth and looked at Chen Ziming in embarrassment.

Liu Bei stated that it is his opinion to streamline the navy. Although he trusts Chen Ziming, the consumption of the navy is too great. Now that there are problems on land, it is impossible to vigorously develop the navy that is of little significance.

"Hey." After listening to Liu Bei's words, Chen Ziming sighed secretly. He knew that the downsizing of the navy was imperative.

"It seems that I was in a hurry..." After making a decision, Chen Ziming said, "It is feasible to streamline the navy, but it cannot be abolished."

When Chen Ziming let go, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid that Chen Ziming would die, which would not be good for anyone.

"First, the navy will continue to retain five fleets. All regular naval officers and soldiers will be divided into two, namely naval warship officers and marine officers. Soldiers are mainly engaged in landing operations, and there is no need to go out to sea with warships at any time when there is no battle, and land combat training is the main focus."

"Secondly, the navy's warships are streamlined, and the old warships are removed from the navy's establishment and used as merchant ships. They are leased and used by commercial companies to transport anything and receive appropriate rewards. However, these warships must be strictly monitored and must not fall into the hands of the enemy."

"Thirdly, all the military ports will continue to be retained, but the military port guards can be replaced by marines, and the logistics personnel will be appropriately reduced, leaving only those with skills."

"Fourth, the warship production shipyard is not directly under the navy, but separates from it, and establishes another sea ship department, which focuses on the research and development of new sea ships, with construction and maintenance of commercial sea ships."

"The fifth..."

Chen Ziming came up with his own bottom line. The combat power and development of the navy cannot be stopped, but the scale can be reduced appropriately. As Chen Gong said, there are no enemies of big men on the sea today, and even potential enemies have not appeared. .

But this has to be guarded against. If the monks from the West can go to Linzi, then other people can also come. Sooner or later, the sea ships of the big man will be discovered by the animals in the West. If this arouses their desire to sail, then it is not impossible for the age of great sailing to advance. .

Don't underestimate the learning ability of those people, otherwise, the big man will suffer in the future.

Chen Ziming let go, and everyone ended happily. Chen Gong and others also accepted it. According to Chen Ziming's request, the navy's consumption will drop by seven floors. The big man raised another 50 elite troops.

Chapter 4 Unifies the Grassland

"Yan'er, Mi'er..."

As soon as Chen Ziming entered the house, he saw two slim figures standing at the entrance of the hall. They were the two wives whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Cai Yan and Zhen Mi.

"Husband..."

The two silly voices made Chen Ziming feel depressed, feeling that he had treated them too much.

When they entered the city, they sent someone to inform the two of them that they were ready to come back for dinner, but after discussing with Liu Bei, they discussed the current form and future plans with Liu Bei alone, and forgot to come back for dinner for a while. It was already midnight when Shanshan arrived.

"..."

The three of them were relatively silent, their son and daughter were weeping, helpless, Chen Ziming hugged the two of them into his arms and brought them into the hall.

There is a table of food in the middle of the hall. Although it is rich, the food without the slightest heat makes the whole hall quite miserable.

"Husband, the dishes are cold, I'll ask someone to heat them up..."

After a long time, the three of them sat down, and Cai Yan blushed and hurriedly sent people to heat up the dishes.

"You haven't eaten yet?"

Chen Ziming's ears were not bad, and he could hear the gurgling sound from the second girl's stomach, and suddenly felt a pain in his heart.

"Well, let's wait for my husband to come back and eat together..."

Zhen Mi also knew that she had lost her composure, so she hurriedly backed away, blushing and talking softly.

"Okay, let's eat together, by the way, where are the children?"

Chen Ziming didn't know what to say, he had already eaten at Liu Bei's place, but these are not important now, if he treats the second daughter badly, he can only try his best to make up for it.

"The kids are going to bed, I'm going to wake them up now..."

Cai Yan just remembered this, and was about to get up to call the child, but Chen Ziming pulled him away and shook his head slightly.

After the three of them had dinner, it was already early in the morning and very late. The two girls glanced at each other and got up to leave. Chen Ziming, who was sitting in the middle, was taken aback for a moment, but he quickly realized that this was to make Chen Ziming himself Choose who to have a baby game with tonight.

"Hey..." Chen Ziming smiled maliciously, and then came to live with the second daughter, ignored their screams, and went directly to the master bedroom. As for why, adults understand.

This era is still very conservative, and the second daughter is too embarrassed to mess with Chen Ziming. Originally, Chen Ziming had wanted to come to the third party a long time ago, but unfortunately the second daughter has always disagreed.

But today is different, Xiao Biesheng is newly married, not to mention they haven't seen each other for more than half a year, the second daughter also thinks that Chen Ziming is not easy, so they simply followed Chen Ziming half-heartedly.

After a crazy night, the three of them woke up very late the next day. If it weren't for a few children making noise outside the door, the three of them would have continued to sleep. There are not many times like this.
