Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 1810: Weapon Reform, Inspection of the Fierce Whale, Treasure Ship Initially Completed

Just as Yao Guangxiao and the others said, although Wang Yu did not accept the advice today and also expressed his attitude, it still caused quite a stir in Da Cang!

Even in the various regions under Wang Yu's rule, many people gathered in groups of three or five to discuss the matter after receiving the news, wondering when to express their attitudes.

Although this kind of thing happened very suddenly, all the people under Wang Yu's rule are now extremely concerned about this matter.

At the very least, even if nothing good can be gained from this matter, there must not be any mistakes.

This kind of thing has always been the most likely to cost lives.

However, compared to the people below who were plotting against him, Wang Yu calmed down at this time.

Although there is no unspoken rule of three resignations and three confessions in this alien world, this principle still exists. As long as he deliberately delays the process, when this set of procedures is completed, maybe the best time will come.

Moreover, the first time, it can be said that it was because of Gu Ling that the incident happened suddenly and everyone present, including Wang Yu, was not prepared at all.

However, after this first time, the civil and military officials should have known to prepare for the second time. With the preparations already made, they would definitely not end the second time like the first time.

For the second time, they will definitely make a lot of preparations, which takes time. Moreover, they should also wait for the right time, which also takes time.

Therefore, in order to avoid those counselors and generals who had been trying to steal his limelight these days, Wang Yu simply left Zhendong City and went on an inspection tour, using this method to avoid the disturbances that gave him a headache.

The first stop he inspected was the weapons manufacturing base in Yanbei.

Ever since he saw the Dongfang family, Wang Yu had made up his mind to reform Yanbei's weapons manufacturing factory. In other words, not only Yanbei's weapons manufacturing factory, but all the weapons manufacturing factories under his jurisdiction had to be reformed.

First, Wang Yu simply abandoned most of the small weapon manufacturing areas, concentrated the craftsmen of these small weapon factories, and established two or three weapon manufacturing bases of a certain scale in several important cities. They were once scattered and gradually moved towards large-scale production.

It's not just weapons casting, but the entire foundry industry has this trend, except that weapons casting is given priority.

In this way, all foundry industries in the North were unified, and work was started on creating molds for handicrafts. Standardized assembly line production was formally proposed in the North to improve the efficiency of the foundry industry.

The greatest beneficiaries of standardized production are ancient ingenious machinery, which can be seen in folk products such as locks, carriages, and so on.

In the military, bows and crossbows and siege equipment are naturally the first. Because these equipment have many parts, unlike swords, they are not integrated. After being damaged, they are difficult to repair due to the uneven size and length of the parts.

For example, the crossbow arrow slot can only accommodate arrows of corresponding size. If it is too big, it will not fit in, and if it is too small, it will be loose and lose its lethality.

  Many people think that after they have used up their crossbow arrows on the battlefield, they can just pull out the arrows shot by the enemy and use the crossbow. But this is actually a complete misunderstanding. Bows and arrows can be used this way to a certain extent, but it is impossible to use crossbows!

Different types of crossbows have different crossbow arrows, not only in length but also in weight. For example, the crossbow arrows in the north are generally heavier than those in places with spring-like weather due to the cold weather.

Standardized production solves many problems.

Equipment is being produced in large quantities, and the new army is gradually forming combat effectiveness. Wang Yu's good mood is self-evident. After all, the army under his command is his most fundamental confidence.

Therefore, although the recent series of reforms did take up a lot of his attention, he was also willing to work hard for them.

The second stop of his inspection was the current base of the Fierce Whale Army.

The Fierce Whale Army is the only main force among the current major field main forces that has not yet confirmed the candidate for the legion commander.

And what Wang Yu was inspecting now was the base of the Yanbei Navy Fleet, one of the two major fleets under the Liejing Army.

And this is the only one of the two fleets that has been completed for the time being.

As for the inland navy Tianhe fleet, the 10,000 newly recruited soldiers have not yet completed their training. Compared with the previous 20,000 soldiers, they are always inferior in all aspects.

As a naval force that will focus on maritime power in the future, the warships of this naval fleet are basically super-large warships and large warships.

The reason why Wang Yu came to inspect the navy base was because he finally received good news not long ago. After such a long time and the construction of countless skilled craftsmen, the first treasure ship can be officially launched.

Moreover, Mo Peng also officially started the construction of the second batch of treasure ships, and this time he built five ships in one go.

Because it was the first time, the speed was a bit slow. After such a successful experience, the speed will definitely be faster. This is why, after the success of the first ship, the second batch of five ships were cast at once.

With the complete annihilation of the East China Sea navy a few years ago, now in the entire Da Cang, only Wang Yu still controls the organized naval force.

To put it simply, a water fort is a camp on the water. A camp on the road has carriages, horses and soldiers, while a water camp naturally has various types of ships and naval soldiers.

In general, huge and long wood was nailed into the bottom of the water to form a foundation, and houses were built on it, which were used as strongholds to resist the attack of the enemy's navy. At the same time, a large amount of open space on the water was enclosed inside to dock one's own ships.

The houses on the water were built with many twists and turns. If someone who didn't know the situation entered the water fort rashly, they would lose their direction and the soldiers in the houses on both sides would shoot them with bows and crossbows.

When Wang Yu entered the water fort, he immediately boarded the newly built treasure ship. This treasure ship could accommodate thousands of soldiers, and it required two hundred people just to drive it.

The treasure ship was loaded with a small number of Hundred Wars Divine Crossbows, as well as a large number of bed crossbows and medium-sized catapults.

At least, now, this is the biggest battle known in this apocalypse.

"My lord, the navy has 615 large and small ships, patrolling day and night and training diligently. We now have naval combat officers and soldiers, plus various auxiliary arms and civilian workers! A total of people." Mo Peng reported the current situation of the Yanbei Navy to Wang Yu.

Although the navy is mostly composed of combat soldiers, it also includes a large number of sailors, maintenance personnel of warships, maintenance personnel of various equipment on the ships, and a large number of civilian workers doing odd jobs.

When sailing on the sea, in addition to the main battle ships, there are usually corresponding auxiliary ships, such as grain ships that transport food and grass, oil ships that transport kerosene, and even horse ships that carry war horses when necessary. These auxiliary ships require a large number of menial workers.

"Very good..." Wang Yu stood up, and after the soldiers retreated to both sides, he came to the bow of the ship.

"The navy is of vital importance, and its status is no less than that of other major armies. You have been riding horses for years and are as steady as a rock, but once you are on this ship, your feet will temporarily lose their roots."

There is no need to say much about the two personal guards Dian Wei and Xu Chu who came with Wang Yu this time, as well as Li Yuanba, the top fighting force under his command. As for the two celestial-level warriors who followed him, there is even less need to elaborate.

When Wang Yu travels now, he is usually accompanied by two or so Heavenly Man-level warriors. Even if they are not in the open, they will be hidden in the dark, in a corner nearby.

In addition to these guards, the remaining four important generals were Yue Fei, Tan Daoji, Zhang Han, and Meng Tian. In addition, there was the counselor Wang Pu who accompanied him to relieve his boredom.

As for Zhang Bin, Yao Guangxiao and others, the matters concerning Zhendong City can be left to them, so there is naturally no need to bring them along.

After Meng Tian led an army of 100,000 back to Yanbei, these 100,000 soldiers officially began the work of being reorganized into five main field armies. In order to cooperate, Meng Tian did not leave for the time being, and this time he was also brought along by Wang Yu.

Anyway, given Qingbei's current situation, even if Meng Tian didn't return to Yannan for the time being, it wouldn't be a big deal. At this moment, whether it was King Wei or the Tianshi Dao to the south of King Wei, it was the most troublesome time.

The warships were still moored at the shore, and were only slightly shaken by the wind and waves, and had not yet really sailed into the vast ocean. However, except for Yue Fei, the others looked a little unnatural. If they really sailed in the ocean in the future, it would be terrible.

The wind and waves on the sea are much stronger than those on rivers and lakes. If we really take them for a trip on the sea, won't they become weaklings?

Wang Yu has always attached great importance to the construction of water power. Otherwise, the Fierce Whale Corps would not have become one of the five main corps. In addition to the Yanbei Navy, there would not be another Tianhe Navy.

With the outbreak of the war between the Sun Kingdom and the Dongyi, he paid even more attention to the importance of the navy.

Especially when facing the Sun Kingdom, if you can control a strong navy, you will naturally have the upper hand even if a war breaks out.

After Wang Yu's words revealed his high regard for the navy, most of the generals, including Mo Peng, were delighted, and the navy around them also became much more arrogant.

At the beginning, when Wang Yu faced the Dongyi several times, he also relied a lot on the Yanbei Navy.

But with the appearance of Gan Ning, Shi Lang and others, the navy's power expanded on the surface, but it did not expand to Mo Peng's hands, but to the hands of others. At one point, he even had the same idea as Zhao Anling and others, that a new emperor appoints new ministers, and he was afraid that he would be marginalized in the future.

However, when the task of forging the treasure ship was secretly given to him, it gave him more ambition.

Dian Wei was honest and said, "My lord, I am steady on a horse, and I can be steady on a boat, too!"

Meng Tian and others naturally expressed the same view.

Wang Yu smiled and said, "In that case, Uncle Mo, let's sail out to sea and take a trip!"

"Yes!" Mo Peng agreed and immediately went to make arrangements.

At the same time, he couldn't help but want to see Dian Wei and the others make a fool of themselves later. Although the boat would shake if it stayed on the beach, it was nothing compared to when it really started sailing.

"Weigh anchor and set sail. The warships are in front, the treasure ship is in the middle, and the fighting ships are guarding the two wings!" At Mo Peng's call, more than 30 ships of various types weighed anchor immediately.

As the sailors shouted vigorously, the oars, which were as strong as windmill blades, began to move, and more than 30 huge warships immediately left the water fort.

……

"Is it very normal?" Under the sunny weather, the treasure ship sailed smoothly. Dian Wei walked back and forth on the bow with an iron halberd on his back, showing that he was walking on flat ground.

Mo Peng just smiled and said nothing. He was going to have to bear the consequences if a storm came.

At this time, an undercurrent surged, causing even the huge treasure ship to shake a few times.

As the shaking occurred, the Tiger Guards could not help but sway back and forth, and they had to stagger their steps before they could stand firm. Looking at the navy officers and soldiers on the boat, they were standing still. The shaking had little effect on them.

The faces of Meng Tian and other generals changed slightly in an instant. They exerted the strength of a thousand-pound weight to steady their bodies. If they were asked to attack the enemy now, their strength would immediately be reduced by five points.

Meng Tian and the others were standing still, so they had time to prepare. Dian Wei, who was walking back and forth, shouted loudly, and suddenly fell to the ground with the inertia of the ship. He grabbed a naval soldier and managed to stabilize himself.

"General Dian, be careful." The navy soldier reminded kindly.

Dian Wei's face turned red, but fortunately it was very dark so no one could see it.

By the way, although Dian Wei's skin color is not as dark as Li Kui and Zhang Fei, it is not much different.

And many generals realized at this time how powerful the water was. The naval battle on the ship was not as simple as just facing the enemy. They also had to resist the constantly shaking deck under their feet at the same time.

This was on a super-large warship like the treasure ship. If it was a small ship like a warship, which was swaying under the water all the time, it would be even more unstable. At that time, even if they had a thousand kinds of strength, they would be just lambs to be slaughtered.

"You must not underestimate the battle on the ship. The fighting methods of the navy and the army are different. If the two sides want to adapt to each other, it will take three to five years to master it."

  As Wang Yu spoke, he couldn't help but think of the Blue Star's Marine Corps. Why were the Marines so powerful?

It can be understood from the literal meaning that if a soldier is good at both naval and land warfare, he will naturally be better than a soldier who only knows one thing.

"What our lord has taught us is correct." Meng Tian and others said in unison.
