Chapter 320 0317 [Ancient version of aircraft carrier strike group? 】

Han Zhen was better off. Although he was from the north in his previous life, he had been on boats many times and his swimming skills were not bad.

Lao Jiu and other personal guards are no good, pure northwest landlubbers.

I can count the number of boats I have been on in my life on my fingers. The most important thing is that taking a boat on the river is different from that on the sea.

When I was on the shore, I felt that the wind was calm, but after I got on the boat, I found that the whole boat kept rising and falling with the waves. Although the amplitude was small, it could not withstand the density, one wave after another.

Lao Jiu stumbled and quickly grabbed the guardrail of the deck to stabilize his body.

Kuang Zi saw him again, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his lips.

Lao Jiu's previous stab made him feel a little less confident.

You know, when Haihuo had hundreds of water thieves under his command, he asked himself whether he could be ranked among the top two in terms of combat power, but in the end, he was almost killed in the opponent's hands.

The opponent's performance now made him regain his confidence.

I can't do it on land, but at sea, Kuang Zixin feels that he can kill the opponent within three moves.

After leading Han Zhen to the navy, Kuang Zixin introduced: "This is County Magistrate Han."

Hearing this, all the sailors bowed one after another: "I've seen the county magistrate."

"Ah."

Han Zhen tilted his head slightly and asked, "Are these soldiers your brothers under Haihu?"

Kuang Zixin replied: "Reporting to the county magistrate, some of them are, and the rest are strong fishermen recruited. Fishermen go to sea to fish all year round, and are familiar with the sea and ships. They are more comfortable with training and can form combat capabilities in a short time. . But if you recruit people who are not good at watercraft, it will take at least half a year to adapt to life at sea. As for combat, it will have to wait a year."

"Not bad!"

A trace of satisfaction flashed in Han Zhen's eyes.

Kuang Zi's new method suited him well. With only two or three months of practice, this group of fishermen could quickly become ready to fight.

In fact, the pirates on the sea today are all fucking fishermen.

On weekdays, we fish with a net. When the opportunity comes, we get together and work together.

Including Kuang Zixin, he used to be a fisherman. The life of a fisherman is already hard. Going out to fish is equivalent to having your head tied to your waist. Whether he can come back safely depends on the mood of the Sea Dragon King.

As a result, the Zhao and Song Dynasties were very exploitative. In recent years, they have increased taxes and collected money.

They also stuck their heads on their waists and caught nothing. Kuang Zixin simply threw himself into the sea tiger and became a water thief.

Looking at the hundreds of sailors in front of him, Han Zhen asked: "Do you know the treatment of our Qingzhou Army?"

All the soldiers shook their heads with blank expressions.

Seeing this, Han Zhen turned around and asked, "What did you say when you recruited troops?"

Kuang Zixin scratched his head and said with a smile: "I just said that I can have enough to eat and don't have to pay taxes."

Han Zhen heard this and said loudly: "If you join our Qingzhou Army, you will have a monthly salary of [-] coins, three dry meals a day, and one meat meal every three days. There will be rewards for killing the enemy in battle. Beheading will give you a reward of four knives. The first one to capture the formation, seize the flag, and behead the general." The starting point is twenty guan, and there is no upper limit. I have plenty of money, and I am not stingy with giving it to officials. If you have the ability, just earn a million guan from me, get an official position, and make a wife. If you don’t have the ability, then just do it. I can’t blame anyone else!”

After hearing these words, the eyes of all the navy soldiers shone brightly and their hearts surged.

I thought that when I joined the army, I would just earn a living and avoid taxes and corvee labor, but I didn't expect that the treatment would be so good.

Han Zhen shouted: "Lao Jiu!"

"The end is here!"

Lao Jiu stabilized his figure and answered with cupped fists.

Han Zhen ordered: "Go and get some copper coins to give the soldiers salaries."

"Order!"

After Lao Jiu said this, he got off the warship in a few steps, mounted his horse and rode away.

When they heard that their salaries were about to be paid, all the soldiers looked surprised.

Not long after, Lao Jiu came back, followed by a bullock cart.

"Follow me and get your salary!"

Han Zhen waved his hand and took the lead to get off the boat.

The soldiers followed one after another and came to the dock.

The bright yellow copper coins are particularly pleasing under the dazzling sunlight.

Each person has five hundred coins, which is not a lot of money.

The soldiers held heavy coins and looked at Han Zhen with completely changed eyes.

Han Zhen stood with his hands behind his hands and asked with a smile: "Have you all received the money?"

"I got it!"

"Thank you magistrate."

"The county magistrate is loyal."

All the soldiers said with smiles.

Slowly suppressing his smile, Han Zhen looked solemn and said sternly: "After receiving the money and joining the military, you are the soldiers of our Qingzhou Army. All you need to do is obey, drill, and kill the enemy! If someone commits adultery, If you act slippery and violate military orders, don't blame me for being unkind!"

Everyone's expressions changed, and the evil aura that hit their faces made them feel frightened.

In a daze, they had the illusion that they were facing a wild tiger.

Han Zhen continued: "Later, the army will promulgate the Ten Laws of Military Law, and everyone must recite them and become familiar with them. Do you understand?"

"clear."

A sparse voice sounded. Han Zhen frowned and shouted loudly: "Do you understand?"

"clear!!!"

The soldiers were startled and shouted in unison.

"Not bad, I'm still a bit energetic."

Han Zhen smiled slightly and ordered: "You can wait for one day off, take your salary home, and report to the military camp at nine o'clock tomorrow."

"Yes!"

After paying equal attention to kindness and power, these soldiers were completely manipulated, and they felt fear and respect for Han Zhen in their hearts.

Kuang Zixin, who watched the whole process, couldn't help but marvel.

After all, he is a hero who can conquer Shandong, but his methods are different. In comparison, Haihuo is just like a child playing house.

Glancing at the remaining copper coins in the basket, there were about a dozen copper coins left, and Han Zhen ordered: "Kuang Zixin, I will appoint you as the naval instructor and temporarily act as the brigade commander. I will reward you with these coins."

"Thank you magistrate!"

Kuang Zixin bowed and thanked him.

Looking at the sea in the distance, Han Zhen said: "Tell me about the situation at sea."

Kuang Zixin silently organized some speech and replied: "Reporting to the county magistrate, there are many pirates on the sea nowadays. There are about twenty of them in Jiaozhou Bay alone, but they are all small and small, and they can't achieve anything. . There are also some pirates who are disguised as merchant ships. They usually do business honestly, but if they encounter a lone ship, they will transform into water pirates and carry out plunder."

Han Zhen asked again: "Where are Korea and Japan?"

"There are also water thieves in these two countries, but they are few in number and extremely weak. They dare not rob Zhao and Song's merchant ships, so they can only do it with their own merchant ships. Their merchants are also very poor, and there is not much money to be made."

Kuang Zixin's tone was full of ridicule and contempt, and he obviously looked down upon these two countries.

In fact, this was indeed the case for these two countries during the Song Dynasty.

Goryeo's national power was weak, and its main enemy was the Jin people. Most of its energy was focused on defending against the Jin people, and its shipbuilding technology was backward.

The Japanese country has some foundation, but now it is the Heian period. The emperor has been emptied of power by the shogunate. In order to stabilize his rule, the Genji has adopted a secluded policy. Merchants who want to trade have to be secretive. If they are caught, they will die.

In this case, there are no water masters or water thieves.

But for Han Zhen, it was a good thing.

The surrounding maritime forces are all weak. Once his navy is formed, he will be able to dominate the sea.

Thinking of this, Han Zhen asked curiously: "What is a naval battle like now?"

Kuang Zixin recalled: "Currently naval battles are all boarding battles. After the two ships get close, they will first fire a round of rockets and take advantage of the chaos to join the boarding and attack."

The warships nowadays are only that big, and the warships used by pirates are actually modified merchant ships. They are about thirty meters long and cannot accommodate large ordnance such as catapults. It is amazing that there are two three-bow crossbows. It's already the limit.

Bows and crossbows are only used as harassment. The real winner depends on the side battle.

Han Zhen said: "I just watched you practice. There is no military formation at all, but you are full of gangsterism."

Kuang Zixin hurriedly explained: "County Magistrate, the sea is different from the land. The deck is only such a large place, and it is impossible to spread out the formation. The battle on the side relies more on the individual bravery of the soldiers."

Han Zhen chuckled and said, "What do you think, just say it."

Hearing this, Kuang Zixin muttered: "I have thought about it when I was under Haihuhu. The deck is narrow, and even Zhao and Song's Shenzhou cannot spread out a large-scale military formation, so I am planning to use three people as a small team, one person One person holds a shield to defend, one person holds a sword to attack, and the other person holds a spear to assist. Then three small teams are used as a small flag, and three small flags are used as a general flag."

"If the situation is chaotic, use small teams or small flags as the main force to divide and destroy them. If the enemy is well-defended, combine them into a general flag to destroy them."

Lao Jiu raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "The Sancai Formation? It looks a bit like the fancy dress of the Western Army."

The principles of battle formation methods are all the same.

The northwest is mountainous and large-scale field battles cannot be carried out, which is not conducive to pure team performance. At the same time, the cavalry is weak.

So the fancy dress of small-scale encounters came into being.

The space on the ship is even narrower. Even the deck of the Shenzhou is only more than ten meters wide, so the Sancai Formation is the most suitable.

"Not bad!"

Han Zhen nodded with satisfaction and continued to ask: "Where's the ordnance?"

Kuang Zixin replied: "Iron armor is heavy, inconvenient to move, and the sea is humid, so it is easy to rust and rot. I think paper armor is the best, followed by leather armor. In addition, when fighting on the side, it is inconvenient to chop with a long knife." , which can equip soldiers with an additional one-foot-long dagger as a weapon for close combat."

Lao Jiu asked doubtfully: "If you were wearing paper armor and fell into the sea, wouldn't it instantly turn into a weight and sink to the bottom of the sea?"

Kuang Zixin said with a strange expression: "The paper armor is connected in series with a string and falls into the sea. You only need to cut the string with a dagger to easily take off the paper armor."

"..."

Lao Jiu's face turned red.

Han Zhen asked: "I plan to build three Shenzhous as warships. Do you have any suggestions?"

Hearing this, Kuang Zixin's eyes suddenly lit up and he said excitedly: "Shenzhou is naturally excellent as a warship. A Shenzhou, equipped with three passenger ships, a tug ship, and a fire ship, is an extremely powerful force. Combat power. Sweeping across the sea area near Jiaozhou Bay is not a problem at all."

Check it out!

This is the man who does big things, using the Shenzhou as a battleship. Kuang Zixin admires his courage and heroism.

You know, the cost of building a Shenzhou is not cheap. Taking into account the ordnance and other equipment on the ship, the price will not be less than [-] yuan.

Once it sinks, [-] yuan will be lost.

Han Zhen was stunned for a moment, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

One Shenzhou, equipped with five functional ships, isn't this a fucking aircraft carrier strike group?
