The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1585 Emphasis on Navy
The college that Zhuang Zi attended was also officially on holiday. The students of the Faculty of Letters, the Faculty of Medicine, and the students of Mingde Academy all went home for the New Year safely. Only the students of the Military Academy, under the leadership of Pei Xingjian, went to Chang'an City, they will spend the next ten days in the Imperial Forest Army camp in Chang'an City.

Pei Xingjian didn't have to work as hard as before. After the students were handed over to the Imperial Forest Army, Pei Xingjian also had a holiday. In addition, Li Xiaogong was in Chang'an City, so nothing would go wrong. After the ten days were over, these students were dismissed and returned to Dongshan County That’s it for Zhuangzi, he’s such a big man, he’s been here before in Chang’an City, and he can’t lose it, if people worry about their travel between Chang’an City and Dongshan County, then go home and be a good baby , Such a person is not suitable for military service.

After the students all went to Chang'an City, Xuan Shijing was not busy with the New Year's work at the mansion. After all, Jinyang would be able to take care of the preparations. When the time comes, he only needs to bring his things to the homes of a few princes. That's enough, Xuan Shijing is sitting in the study now, thinking about the military academy.

There is nothing to say about the army on the ground in the Tang Dynasty. The people of the Tang Dynasty were martial arts, and it goes without saying that the first batch of students in the Military Academy belonged to the army on the ground. But before Xuan Shijing went to Taizhou, Even further back in time, when they fought Goguryeo, they already realized the importance of the navy, and then the trip to Taizhou, the role played by the navy became more and more important, whether it is now or in the future, the navy The importance in the Datang army is self-evident.

So Xuan Shijing is thinking, next year, the students of Mingde Academy will have new students entering the military academy, should they shift their focus to the navy a little bit, and cultivate some advanced sailors? People will be assigned to the navy in the future to drive the development of Datang's navy, so that talents who have received the education of the academy system will become the backbone of Datang's navy.

But if the college wants to offer such a course, who will lead the team?Who will be Mr.Today's Datang Navy, there are only a few who can lead the team, and they all serve in the court, and the court cannot do without them. Unlike the army on the ground, they have developed for nearly a hundred or thousands of years, and they are getting more and more powerful. Maturity, a generation rises after one generation exits the stage, and it has never been cut off.

But the naval forces are different. From the former Sui Dynasty to the Datang Dynasty, they fought on the ground for so many years. The naval forces from the former Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty had a fault in the middle, and now the Tang Dynasty has regained its strength. Get up, and played an important role in the war against Goguryeo, which is enough for people to see the importance of the navy. Now Xuan Shijing wants to use the academy to train talents and push the navy to the top again.

But now that the conditions are met, who will teach them?

Su Dingfang?Although I spent a lot of time on the ship when I was fighting Goguryeo, in essence, what they are best at is leading the army on the ground. As for Liu Renyuan and Liu Rengui, they are now at the peak of their lives in the court. Why? Maybe come to Zhuangzi to teach students?

Unless they wait for the two of them to retire from the court, but that will be more than ten years later, and the cultivation of the backbone of the navy cannot be delayed.

There is still more than half a year before the freshmen of the military academy enter school. Xuan Shijing still has time to think about this matter carefully. Now that he realizes it, he can't let it go. It means that others can't find it. At worst, when you go to Chang'an, ask your elders for advice. If you can't, go to His Majesty Li Er.

After these few years, His Majesty Li Er should also be aware of the importance of the Datang Navy. Since the past few years, the Navy has continued to expand, Liaodong Navy, Yangzhou Navy, and Quanzhou Navy. Although the Quanzhou Navy was " The "family thief" was a disaster, but it won't take a year or a half to recover. After all, with the development of Taizhou, Quanzhou has also become an important port facing Taizhou. Can the Quanzhou navy get up?It's a joke.

With the development of Quanzhou in the Tang Dynasty and the development of Taizhou, the navy will be able to continue to push out the controllable sea areas along Taizhou.

There is Taizhou in the east and Leizhou in the south. The coastal areas of Datang have never lacked suitable places as a springboard. As long as the navy is strong enough, the feat of sailing to the west to open up the Maritime Silk Road may not be possible in Datang. That is A rich route is a golden road for exchanging Datang porcelain for real gold and silver.

The main thing now is that the development of the navy has also reached a bottleneck. It does not mean that the number of people can be increased. It can reach tens of thousands of 10,000+ people, but there are not many elites. Such a navy is nothing more than a tiger that cannot withstand the storm. .

Now, the number of those who can be called operating naval divisions will never exceed 5. At the beginning of the war in Liaodong, the naval divisions seemed to invest a lot, but on the battlefield, there were only more than [-] people who really fought the enemy head-on. The number of others, the other more functions are to protect the rear, and there is almost no combat experience.

This can't be done.

Therefore, the navy of the Tang Dynasty needs to train, and it needs to be practiced hard. The elite cavalry of the Tang Dynasty can win the first place with the Xuanjia Army, but what about the navy of the corresponding level?No, there is no such a team composed of the best of the best.

To put it bluntly, it is the commander of the navy who can be named, just two or three people. As for the low-level soldiers, they are too ordinary.

If you want Datang to take the lead in the sea, then you can’t let the navy be ordinary. If the navy is ordinary, Datang will be ordinary on the sea. trade route.

Xuan Shijing sat in the study for a whole day because of the matter of the military academy, and in the middle of the afternoon, a servant from outside knocked on the door of the study, wanting to come in and pack up the things delivered before noon , There was still no sound in the study, and when he was about to turn around and leave, Xuan Shijing's voice came from the study.

"Come in."

The servants in the kitchen carefully pushed open the door and entered the study, only to find that the food was still placed on the table and it was completely cold.

My father-in-law didn't eat a single bite.

what 's wrong.

"Grandpa, you..." The servant looked at Xuan Shijing, and then at the untouched food.

"Oh, I wasn't hungry at noon, so I didn't eat. You can take it down, and you can eat dinner with it later." Xuan Shijing said.

"Yes." The servants in the kitchen could only respond.

After packing up all the food, he left the study and closed the door of the study again.
