Zhao Heng said: "Your Majesty, it is not difficult to recruit soldiers. There are thousands of people in Daxia who advocate military service. If you want 100,000, you will have 100,000, and if you want 200,000, you will have 200,000!"
"Twenty-hundred thousand is not enough, at least 300,000!" Qin Yun said.
Suddenly, everyone was shocked. The recruitment was not just a difference in the number of people. When the recruitment came, it required money and food, and more warships were equipped.
But now Daxia is rich and powerful, and can hold on.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the Ministry of War will start to handle this matter immediately!" Zhao Heng clasped his fists.
Qin Yun explained: "Remember, this recruitment, the sons who grew up on the water have priority and try to get some people who are good at water."
"Yes, your majesty, I understand."
Qin Yun looked at everyone: "Then the second question is, to build a navy, a qualified senior commander is needed."
"Unlike land warfare, you have to find someone who truly understands naval warfare. My dear friends, do you have any good candidates?"
Gu Chuntang suggested: "You should be able to find a good person in the Hero Pavilion. Now that the martial arts hall is becoming more and more powerful, you can also train it yourself."
"That's right, but you must be separated from the Army. Professionals must do professional things." Huang Yanqing said.
On the side, Xiao Jian and others felt uncomfortable, but they couldn't find any reason to refute.
"The middle and high-level leaders can be selected from this, what about the highest levels of the navy?"
Qin Yun scanned the entire imperial study and said, "There are countless brave generals in the Great Xia, but there are not those who know about naval battles yet?"
Hearing this, everyone whispered to each other and was silent.
Seeing the situation, Mu Le volunteered: "Your Majesty, let me give it a try."
Qin Yun gave him a blank look: "You took the cavalry and ran to take the sea division. Do you think it's appropriate?"
Mu Le scratched his head and muttered, "How do you know if you don't give it a try?"
Qin Yun ignored him, this definitely didn't work. Every army needs to have a clear division of labor.
"By the way, Your Majesty, I remembered someone!" Gu Chuntang exclaimed, his eyes lit up suddenly.
"who?"
He looked at him with uniform eyes.
Gu Chuntang said: "Admiral of the Qingzhou Yuanshui Army, Tang Jian!"
"This man's ancestor was the ace of the navy during the reign of Emperor Gaozu, but because of the military expenditure that was too large and there was no use in Daxia, it faded again and again until it dissipated in the field of vision."
"However, this Tang Jian is considered a child of a navy family. I'm afraid he would be much more professional when asked about naval construction than if he asked me."
"Go quickly and pass on my imperial edict!" he shouted.
Chang Hong outside heard the sound and said loudly: "Yes, I will do it immediately!"
Immediately afterwards, there were a slight movement and still footsteps.
"Okay, if this Tang Jian is really capable, then I don't mind letting him rise to the top once."
"Even if he is not competent as the Navy Chief General, can he always give me some advice, right?" He rubbed his hands, a little excited.
The Navy is also a place he has never been involved in. He is very motivated to participate in construction.
Everyone smiled and the atmosphere was harmonious.
At this time, Zhao Heng said again: "Your Majesty, what happened to iron ore transportation you just said?"
"The Meteorological Department has been dispatched frequently, and Lord Xuan Yunzi has not returned yet. Did he have any new discoveries?"
Hearing this, Qin Yun grinned: "That's right, and it was a huge discovery!"
"There are inexhaustible iron ore in the Jurchen territory."
"I think it's still easy to not only meet all the needs, but also equip a navy."
A majestic picture suddenly appeared in his mind, with countless warships on the sea sailing in red cannons, although it was impossible to reach the levels of later generations.
But this progress is definitely far beyond that of other countries of the same period. Even in the West, it shouldn't be so fast, right?
But he was not sure in his heart that the course of this history is completely different from that of another history, and Westerners may have created these things.
The eyes of the cabinet ministers lit up suddenly.
“Inexhaustible?”
"iron ore!"
"Hiss..." How many people took a breath of air conditioning.
Iron ore resources are too scarce, and only the court can control it, and the people cannot use it.
If there are enough, the whole Daxia will look different.
"I plan to build a shipyard in the middle of the Grand Canal, and the iron ore transported back from the north will also be transported for processing."
"This round trip requires a lot of manpower and material resources, no less than the construction of the Great Wall in the North." Qin Yun said.
Guo Ziyun was gray-haired and immediately said: "Your Majesty, this is not difficult. The treasury of Daxia is now overflowing and can afford it."
"As for human power, the southern Turkic human body is the best choice."
Qin Yun raised his eyebrows: "Okay, just do it like that. I'll send a message to Fu Ling and ask her to immediately collect a group of people to come to the Central Plains to transport iron ore."
“The more, the better!”
"In addition, let her go back to the Central Plains with the team."
"I haven't seen her for a long time." A trace of nostalgia appeared in his eyes, Fu's exotic style, and his long legs.
"Yes!" Everyone bowed again.
Qin Yun said again: "The matters made by the warship supervisor can also be prepared."
"The Ministry of Works will take the lead. If the technology is not enough, then you can just enlist opinions from the people, especially in places near the sea. You should not be blindly arrogant or suppress dissidents. Do you understand?"
"Yes, your Majesty, don't worry, we obey the order."
“…”
Although the plan was decided quickly, the plan could not keep up with the changes. For seven days, the Navy's plan encountered constant trouble.
Fortunately, the seven-day dynasty discussed and solved the problem in a difficult manner.
The recruitment and selection are also in full swing.
During this period, Sakura Sakai and Ichio Tokugawa asked for more than once, but they were both ignored by Qin Yun.
Even they live in Zongzheng Temple, which is equivalent to house arrest, and cannot go out at will without knowing the major events in the world.
On the eighth day, Tang Jian arrived in the imperial capital.
This is an old man who is in the stable and has ambitions for thousands of miles. He is gray-haired and full of energy. When he knew that Qin Yun was going to build a huge navy, he had already allocated countless shipbuilding funds.
He burst into tears and almost went crazy.
He brought all the letters from his ancestors about all naval combat, and studied them all night with Qin Yun!
Another half month has passed.
The queen gave birth to another son, named Qinhai, which means that the sea embraces all rivers.
Yuenu gave birth to a daughter and was given the title of Princess Qingling.
Mu Ci and others also gave birth to children one after another, and the royal family was prosperous, including Dou Ji and others, there were also news of their loss of appetite.
On the other hand, Tang Jian participated in the Navy affairs, put forward constructive opinions, and even recommended many capable people.
Qin Yun was like adding tiger wings. With a wave of his hand, he named him "Sima of the Navy" and was appointed as the second rank.
Even if he is not the helmsman of the real navy, he still has a lot of power.
...
February 2nd, the Spring Festival of the Great Xia.
Snow scattered all over the ancient imperial capital, and this majestic and glorious city ushered in a sleepless night. With countless sounds of firecrackers, the old talisman was replaced with new talismans.
Another year has passed.
Qin Yun opened a hundred banquets in Weiyang Palace, entertained civil and military officials, royal relatives, and immigrated the world's taxes to show his kindness.
This year is a year of reunion.
Fu Ling and others were all summoned back, and the generals and ministers guarding the border were also able to rotate into the imperial capital to report their duties.
Compared to these lively things, Zongzheng Temple is extremely deserted.
Even with depression and loneliness.
The snow has not been swept in front of the door.
Crack...
The door was pushed open, and Tokugawa Kazuo and others watched Sakura Sakai leave.
Standing under the eaves, he clenched his fists secretly and said worriedly: "But there must be some progress, otherwise everything will be done."
"It should be no problem, Lord Sakai, he is the master of Japanese charm."
