Datang: My Peerless Talent Has Been Exposed

And vaguely, Zhang Nuo has an idea, that is to start with the navy, change the previous military system, and truly realize the combination of military service system and conscription system.

At present, the soldiers under Zhang Nuo's hands are basically conscription. They are not the soldiers under Li Shimin who bring their own weapons and dry food.

They are professional soldiers who get subsidies and bonuses when they go to the battlefield, and are also paid at ordinary times, including the subordinates of Commander Qin Qiong, who is currently finishing up in Silla, all of them are like this.

The professional soldiers brought about by this conscription system are undoubtedly good. All of them join the army on their own initiative, and their subjective initiative is much stronger, and they don't have to worry about conflicts between training time and busy farming seasons.

Chapter 564 The Deep Meaning of the Naval Plan

Another benefit brought by the conscription system is that it can greatly extend the service life of soldiers.

After all, they are already professional soldiers, so when they get older, they can choose to transfer jobs, from front-line combat positions to later training positions, and pass on their own skills to those recruits.

At the same time, because the time spent in the army has become longer, the training of soldiers can also be more professional.

This is especially true in the navy.

It can be said that the establishment of the navy requires the cooperation of the professional military system, otherwise it is a joke.

For example, after two or three months of training this year, all the trainees went home to farm, and they won't be able to come until next year. Isn't this a joke?

In other words, with the current speed of sea-going ships, it takes half a year and a year for some ocean-going voyages to remain motionless, so is it possible to take a one-year vacation after returning?

Therefore, professionalization is absolutely necessary for a service like the Navy that requires long-term training and long-term mission execution.

Then, this kind of thing can only be troubled by Li Shimin.

He needs to consider the needs of the Navy's family. Of course, speaking from the bottom of his heart, this guy who likes to be a commander-in-chief rather than an emperor naturally hopes that the military fortune of the Tang Dynasty will be prosperous.

But if a country wants to develop healthily, militarism is absolutely unacceptable, especially in today's Tang Dynasty. In fact, no one has recovered from the catastrophe at the end of the Sui Dynasty. The population is nearly half less than before, and all walks of life All industries urgently need a large number of people.

At this time, if a large number of middle-aged laborers are transferred to join the army, it will deal a severe blow to the entire Tang Dynasty, and the current thriving development trend may be completely destroyed.

This is not a joke, but something that a ruler must understand and master. Unless there is a war of subjugation and genocide, no ruler will get all the main labor force in society to serve as soldiers, unless his mind is abnormal.

And the one who did this before Li Shimin was Emperor Sui Yang who forcibly wiped out the great foundation of the Sui Dynasty.

Li Shimin, who had seen the scene of wars and starvation at the end of the Sui Dynasty, naturally had a layer of worries in his heart. After all, under the accelerator of Zhang Nuo, the development of Datang is actually very good, and such a good situation must be maintained. Yes.

What Zhang Nuo has to do now is to come up with a feasible naval development plan and send it to Li Shimin, and the rest is none of his business.

Let's see how Lao Li, the emperor, makes a decision.

In Zhang Nuo's mind, his preliminary plan was to recruit about [-] strong men in the south who were about [-] years old, and these people would become the first batch of trainees of the navy.

At the same time, all the navy generals of the Tang Dynasty are transferred to him for training. Young and potential ones will be transferred to the navy and trained as professional soldiers, while the older ones will either return to their original places or switch to teaching and training after studying. Post, or turn into an inland water army.

In this way, the new generation has a skeleton and generals, so the foundation of the Datang Navy will be laid.

At the same time, what Zhang Nuo wants is not such a simple navy.

His intention from the very beginning was to bid farewell to the current rough way of fighting, jumping gangs, and fighting at sea.

That's right, he planned to install artillery on naval ships from the very beginning, and after a year or two, he planned to start building the first generation of steel battleships, of course, steel battleships with steam engines.

As for the steel battleship, this was just one of his ideas, but he had decided from the very beginning to mount artillery on naval ships.

He hoped that the Datang Navy's fighting method would be to occupy a favorable position after spotting the enemy from a distance, then fire artillery to attack, and then continue to bombard in circles, until the enemy surrenders or is fragmented, then go up to fish for people and things.

In this way, Datang's navy can not only reduce unnecessary fighting losses, but also be familiar with the routine of artillery bombardment from the very beginning.

After all, whether it is the steel battleship that Zhang Nuo plans to produce in recent years, or the battleship bombardment that may appear in the future, it is still a contest between artillery in the final analysis, and it is to implement the principle that caliber is justice and range is truth. A principled opportunity.

As long as the first batch of navies learn and practice the methods, rhythm, and skills of naval artillery attacks, then Datang's navy will surely lead the world in terms of equipment, technology, and personnel quality.

This is Zhang Nuo's naval plan, and this is Zhang Nuo's confidence to suppress the entire world in this era!

He wanted everyone to know that in the east, there was a glorious empire called Datang. This empire was not only prosperous, civilized, but also powerful.

Think about what you read in the history books of later generations. All countries have impressions of the great eastern countries, such as prosperity, civilization, and mystery, but no one is willing to admit that this country is actually very powerful.

In later generations, Zhang Nuo was just a small boss, a cook in a restaurant, and he couldn't do anything except beep a few words.

But it is different now. He has the ability and the opportunity to be more determined to let the dragon flag of the Great Tang really fly in this world, and let the name of the Great Tang Empire resound throughout the world.

Perhaps, at that time, I would not have been in this world in vain.

Zhang Nuo slowly sorted out his thoughts, looked at the lines of words on the white paper in front of him, and let out a deep breath.

These are some of his arrangements for the Datang Navy, or his expectations for the Navy and Datang are all put in this plan.

He knew that once this plan was passed, Datang would inevitably have a lot of extra expenses, and [-] families would become military dependents, and they would have to worry about their own families all day long.

However, he had to do it again.

The relationship between countries has always been based on interests and strength. If there is not much difference in status, there is an interest relationship, and then an alliance can be formed. When there is a large difference in status or strength, there is only conquest.

What Zhang Nuo wants to guarantee is that Datang will always be the one who conquers others.

Not only that, he hoped that when Datang conquered others, he would start with an invincible posture, crushing the whole process, so that the opponent would not even have the slightest desire to fight.

Only when the gap is big enough can the other party despair!

What is crushing, that is, when the equipment, quality of soldiers, culture, and economy are all different from generation to generation, they will know what crushing is.

What Zhang Nuo has to do now is to make Datang into this crushing state!

Now, it depends on what the emperor Lao Li thinks about, whether he wants this invincible navy or not.
