"Your Majesty, I think there is no need to develop a navy!"
"Yes, developing a navy also requires building a ship branch, which is another big expense!"
"Anyway, it's a waste of money!"
"Please think twice!"
More than half of the civil and military officials were talking.
Jiang Ning didn't say much about this, but had a faint smile on his face.
Yesterday, he and Yang Hui were already thrilled, and he should do this drama today.
Yang Hui coughed twice, stood up and said, "Everyone, I just want to ask, is it really useless to develop a navy in the Wu Dynasty?"
"Prime Minister Yang, I think there are flaws in your problem!"
"What does it mean to be useless?"
“Everything has two sides!”
A second-rank official stood up and said.
Yang Hui said: "Mr. Liu is right. Everything has two sides, so we can't directly deny it, right?"
"What you all mean now is to deny the matter of training the navy?"
"this……"
All civil and military officials were speechless for a while.
Jiang Ning still looked like he was watching a show and didn't say much.
After a while, Meilin stood up and saluted at Jiangning, saying, "Meilin meets Your Majesty and greets you all. On this Golden Palace, I should be the one with the most say, because I have seen the full picture of the Eastern Wu Navy.
One word to describe it is powerful!”
"If the Wu Dynasty had no navy to compete with it, it would be controlled everywhere!"
"It's like the Beimo Wolf Army's bow and arrow range is 200 steps, and our martial crossbow is 400 steps. This is nearly twice the range. Can you imagine its power?"
"The same goes for the navy. If the Eastern Wu sends troops to advance westward along the waters one day, wouldn't it be a matter of bullying us?"
"Why? Because we can't catch up!"
"That's the truth. Please think twice, sir!"
Meilin stood up and said in pain, and the striking comments in the Golden Palace suddenly became less.
Sure enough, I think it makes sense.
Jiang Ning nodded and replied: "What Meilin said is not without reason, think about it!"
"One day, the Eastern Wu Navy advanced westward along the waters, entered the hinterland of Wuchao, burned, killed, looted, and left by boat. How did the Wuchao army chase? Do they use war horses or chariot camps to chase? Or did they use martial crossbows?
Dear friends, these are not realistic!”
All civil and military officials sighed lightly.
Then again, Jiang Ning did make sense.
Yang Hui said again: "If one day, Da Chu will use troops to us, so what? Watch the Chu soldiers rage on the Wu Dynasty?"
"Anotherwise, if we had a navy, we could at least do it, we could attack and retreat and defend!"
"Instead of having shortcomings like now!"
"Please think twice, sir..."
Soon, the Golden Palace fell into an unprecedented quietness, silent, leaving only the sound of everyone's heartbeat.
Now all civil and military officials think that what Yang Huifo and others say makes sense.
"You are right..."
"We're just giving a suggestion!"
After a while, all civil and military officials changed their words.
Jiang Ning continued: "Actually, to put it bluntly, there is only a common truth, that is, a strong country with military power occupies the first place, and it must develop wherever there are shortcomings!"
"For example, we have a chariot battalion against the Beimo Wolf Army!"
"We have a martial crossbow against their cavalry!"
"But what if you face the Eastern Wu Navy? Without the Navy, it would be a weakness!"
“…”
Jiangning's heartfelt words directly touched all civil and military officials.
Then, praise...
"Your Majesty's wise!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Jiang Ning waved his hand, not caring about these words.
"Since you all agree, I can announce the development of the navy!"
The civil and military officials nodded without saying much.
"The money for developing the navy is funded by the six ministries!"
"You should be fine!"
The six ministers led by Yang Hui responded, feeling that there was no problem.
After a while, Yang Huicai said: "Your Majesty, for the development of the navy, we have zero foundations. What should we do the first step?"
Jiang Ning pondered and said, "I haven't thought about it yet. Let me tell you when I think about it!"
"yes!"
…
Soon, the court meeting ends.
Jiangning returned to the side hall.
Developing a navy is naturally inseparable from ships.
Wu Dynasty cannot be said to know nothing about shipbuilding technology, but it is also close to zero!
Because in recent years, the Wu Dynasty has not thought about this.
Therefore, the first step in developing a navy is to build a large ship, and the second step is to train sailors... The Wu Dynasty is mostly inland, with only a few river basins, and few people know the nature of the water. If you want to become a navy army, you can only go through training.
Make up for the shortcomings.
You can swim by yourself. As the lord of the nine fives, you can’t go to be a swimming coach!
Thinking of this, I can’t laugh or cry!
It seems that a group of people who can build ships and swims have to come back!
Thinking about it, Jiang Ning placed his target on Dongwu...
After all, the Eastern Wu Navy has always been the best in the world.
For a moment, Jiang Ning came up with the idea of attacking the Great Eastern Wu. In this way, wouldn’t he worry about training by putting the Eastern Wu into the territory of the Wu Dynasty?
Thinking of this, he shook his head with a bitter smile.
I feel that it is not ordinary unrealistic... If the army cannot reach Dongwu, even if it arrives, it will probably lose its combat effectiveness by Jiang Shui. At that time, will it still seek death? I handed my neck on it and made others harshly
Cut it?
Unrealistic...
So Jiang Ning wrote a letter to Li Muzi, ordering her to secretly catch some Dongwu shipbuilders and swimming people.
Three days later, Li Muzi received a letter from Jiangning.
Immediately, the Mo Pavilion members who entered the Eastern Wu took action... Of course, two-pronged approaches were also taken, because no matter which side, as long as they met Jiangning's requirements, it would be fine.
Just like that, half a month passed.
Li Muzi personally sent the people who were captured from the Eastern Wu and the Southern Dynasty to the Imperial City.
Come to meet Jiangning.
When these people from the Eastern Wu and Southern Dynasties saw Jiangning, they were so scared that they were gone. Some fell to their knees on the ground, while others fainted. In short, their reactions were more strange than the other...
Jiang Ning was speechless about this and glanced at Li Muzi. His eyes seemed to be talking about it again, that's it?
Li Muzi coughed twice, feeling a little embarrassed, and said, "I didn't expect them to be so afraid of you!"
Jiang Ning was speechless, why, can he look scary?
I brought ten people over and fainted eight of them, and the remaining two were stunned like wooden stakes, motionless, and looked particularly funny...
Jiang Ning had no choice but to say to the two of them: "Hey, what's wrong with you? Can I eat you?"
The two people kneeling were dumbfounded, obviously being stuttered by the Lord of Nine Five in front of them, and said, "No...no!"
"Without you, this is the reaction?" Jiang Ning's eyes subsided.
