Take the mall to Datang

Tian, ​​everyone on Tuesday knelt down respectfully and prepared to receive the decree. Yuan Shan smiled and asked them to get up and said, "This is the imperial decree, you should read it for yourself."

Gao Biaoren saw that Yuanshan conveyed the imperial decree so casually, and he was secretly worried that if someone who cared about his majesty's disrespectful behavior spread it, the time would not be so simple, but after thinking about it for a while, he didn't say much, and replaced it with someone else He would be worried, but the Lan Guogong in front of him seemed confident, and he didn't know if he was pretending to be confused.

After Tian Yuan and Zhou Ru opened the imperial decree, they looked carefully and formed and trained the Datang Fleet. From now on, they will obey Yuan Shan's orders, and wait until the day when the Datang Navy troops leave the army, and then return the naval power to His Majesty.

From now on, all ten warships must obey Yuan Shan's arrangement, and the two immediately said in unison: "The final general will see the chief governor."

Gao Biaoren was at a loss for a while, but immediately understood that the imperial decree was to give Yuanshan military power, the governor, and the power of ten warships, how terrifying.

"Now that you have clarified your respective duties, let's proceed according to the above plan. You allocate warships to Cangzhou to recruit soldiers and start practicing. I hope that you can make achievements as soon as possible, and your country can go back sooner." Yuan Shan asked.

Chapter 996 Zhang Liang, Vice Governor

"This subordinate takes orders." Tian Yuan and Zhou Ru said in unison.

In this way, even if the handover of ten warships is over, the Datang Navy will enter a new battle order starting today, but it is not as simple as simply adding sailors.

"..."

The Great Commander of the Datang Fleet, this title is very powerful and domineering.

Yuan Shan stayed in the ship building of the Xiaolong, and saw that the merchant ships on the shore of Cangzhou Port were coming one after another, and the big ship was about to dock, and everyone on the shore was preparing.

Above the port, a pair of elite soldiers were waiting on the shore early, led by Zhang Liang, the deputy commander of the Datang Fleet.

When Zhang Liang was reforming the Ministry of War not long ago, he was transferred back to Chang'an to report on his duties, and when he came back, he became the deputy of the fleet.

Yuan Shan is wearing a new type of armor today. The armor of the sailors and officers is not heavy. Due to the heavy load of the fleet, the armors of the soldiers are all new and very light, and they don’t wear such armor in daily life. Those who fight with Armored Armor have moderate protection capabilities, and the portable airbag is a sharp weapon for life-saving in naval battles.

Yuan Shan and the others got off the boat.

Zhang Liang went up to meet him and said solemnly: "The last general, Zhang Liang, pays homage to the governor."

"You don't need to be so polite, you still need to take care of the exercise of Datang Haibing." Yuan Shan said politely.

"The drill about the sailors is not just bragging. It is still well-known in the Tang Dynasty." Zhang Liang said confidently.

"Well, I believe this. The commanders of the fleet, Tian Yuan and Zhou Ru were your subordinates in the past, and now they are your subordinates again. It is really due to fate, haha." Yuan Shan said with a smile.

Zhang Liang also laughed and said, "It's really a coincidence."

Zhang Liang looks like a rough man, but he is thick and thin. Yuan Shan is very clear about what kind of person he is. This guy has a rebellious personality. Send me to get a foot in the door.

It was a coincidence, when the imperial court elected the captain of the fleet, Zhang Liang was the only military general who knew how to fight in the water. It's just that the technical port is easy to arrange employment, and he became the deputy commander of the fleet in a short while, and the official rank is quite high.

"Haha, yes." Yuan Shan replied.

After exchanging pleasantries, Zhang Liang became serious and said, "The battleship is being replenished and unloaded. Let's go to the port office. Everything is ready."

"Well, let's go, it just so happens that I need to hear your opinion on the matter of recruiting sailors this time." Yuan Shan said.

A group of people left the port and went directly to the port office building. Zhang Liang's job was to be stationed in Cangzhou. Now that he came back, his work has basically not changed much. After the Ministry of War was reorganized, there were many restrictions, which made him do things. He is also restrained, and no accidents can happen when the storm is on the cusp. His city is still very deep, and he can bear it.

"What can the governor have to say? The general still has some experience in the military training." Zhang Liang said.

This Zhang Liang has the air of a general, but when he is in the court, he is always in charge of important tasks, and he has successively served as the Yushi, Guangluqing, the governor of the three states of Binxia, ​​the governor of Xiangzhou Dadu, Shi, and the Ministry of Industry. Shangshu and the governor of Luozhou.

It's still Datang's Yun Guogong. In fact, the two of them have the same level, and the other party's qualifications are obviously richer. The attitude of cooperation now gives people a sense of intimacy.

Yuan Shan knew very well that this person was very capable and good at government affairs. He was a rare talent. He was one of the 24 heroes of Lingyan Pavilion in the future.

"Well, let me be frank and honest. It is not easy to talk about the new type of naval soldiers. Now that warships are equipped with firearms, in order to fully display their combat effectiveness, it is necessary to train a steel lion. Not only can they fight in close quarters, but in the future The firearms combat is the first key to mastering firearms technology, so this training needs to shift the focus to the application of firearms, and the training mode of short-handed handover can no longer meet the needs of combat." Yuan Shan said.

Zhang Liang thought for a while. He knew the firearms on the battleship. When the war against Fusang was launched, the firearms played a very important role. It is not an exaggeration to say that the battleship was invincible. .

"Then according to the opinion of the governor, how should it be carried out?" Zhang Liang asked.

"For this matter, I wrote a plan for General Zhang's reference." Yuan Shan took out the plan.

Zhang Liang opened it and looked at it carefully. The new type of military training, from running training to various infantry drills, is very novel, but it still looks very ordinary. I can't help being a little curious. Yuan Shan's military achievements are no worse than his earning money. In the case of ghost hunting cavalry, the 32 people have now taught an invincible army-the Beiya Forbidden Army.

In order to avoid missing the information by mistake, Zhang Liang became more careful, but he still had many doubts in his heart.

"Governor, most of the military training plan is running and doing sports. Is this really okay? I think it will be more effective at the end of the school field training." Zhang Liang immediately put forward his own ideas.

"Well, training in the school grounds is indeed very useful, but it only needs to be routinely prohibited. It is really effective for fighting in formations, but we train sailors, and their future will be more likely to live at sea. , and sea battles are what they face. Exercise is to strengthen their bodies, strengthen their will, and learn sea survival skills. Of course, hand-to-hand combat is also a necessary training subject for them. I think they need more than just fitness It's more comprehensive exercise than strengthening a certain item," Yuan Shan continued.

Zhang Liang pondered for a while, and the decision seemed to make sense.

"The training according to the plan is not difficult. They will be able to complete all these things well in the end. As for the mastery of firearms, they need the help of the governor himself. After all, I am not good at it." Zhang Liang said.

"Well, I have considered this point, so when training the sailors, all the generals of the navy must participate in the study and training together, especially the fleet command must

Only by mastering very comprehensive knowledge can we decide the outcome at the critical moment. " Yuan Shan said.

Zhang Liang nodded in agreement, indeed Datang firearms were a new gadget with powerful power, and if he mastered it, his life in the navy would be prosperous.

He was right, but there is still a big difference between the plan and the reality, because many people have such an idea, and Yuan Shan needs to recruit all the generals who are interested in one military training, so as not to waste the first time. Besides, if the general who leads the army is not familiar with the situation of the fleet, wouldn't it be a gift if he goes out to fight?

Chapter 997 Fifty Thousand Recruits

"The final general has no objection." Zhang Liang said.

"Then let's start. The recruitment of soldiers will be publicized in the nearby state capitals, and the requirements must be clearly stated." Yuan Shan said simply.

Zhang Liang is very experienced in this kind of thing, and Yuan Shan has higher requirements for recruiting soldiers, and his height standard has also been greatly improved.

The scope of recruitment has expanded to several surrounding state capitals, Pingzhou, Youzhou, Cangzhou, Dizhou, Qingzhou, Laizhou, and Dengzhou.

Pingzhou is stationed in the line of the ancient Great Wall, and the number of recruits is very small. Most of them are in Dizhou and several state capitals east of Qingzhou as the main recruitment areas.

After the two discussed the matter, the matter was settled. Cangzhou stationed [-] soldiers, plus [-] soldiers from the Xiaolong, and acted together. It is relatively easy to recruit soldiers in these state capitals, because they are all near the sea, and they can be used directly. In the past, after paying the salary and signing the papers, they were directly sent to the ship and taken away.

Half a month later, there were [-] more recruits on the vacated training ground in Cangzhou.

Yuan Shan sat on the general platform and looked at the people under the platform. They really can't be called soldiers now.

The drums of war were beating fast.

The sound of horses in the entire school ground neighed outside, and the atmosphere was very tense.

Zhang Liang saw that the military training had not yet started, and there were many cowards in the school grounds, and then he heard a loud noise, the Xiaolong test-fired shells, smoke and dust rose in the distance, and the loud sound shocked everyone's eardrums.

In future battles, artillery will be used as the main means of attack. If you can’t bear even this scene, then you can’t become a real sailor, because battleships are life and death. Even if you win, the ship may sink, so from When they choose to stand on the battleship, they have no right to choose. Fighting to the death is the only thing they can do, and death is always unknown.

Yuan Shan knew this, so he didn't want to waste so many resources from the very beginning, because he knew that not everyone has the heart to bear everything, not only in the face of battle, but also the long-distance voyage also tests the perseverance of the sailors , so in order to save resources, today's trial is a necessary process.

Zhang Liang inspected these people, and all those who did not meet the standards were taken away by the soldiers on the side. In this way, more than 5 people were removed from the 500 people in less than a stick of incense. He was eliminated and paid travel expenses to go home.
