Chapter 784: Water Bandits (Page 1/1)

"I estimated that it would be these two days to arrive, so I asked people to guard here, but I didn't expect to wait for the lord today." Chen Gong stroked his beard and smiled: "But Wen Yuan went out early in the morning, and he couldn't come out with me to greet the lord." ”

Yuan Xi said: "The public station should know that we don't pay attention to this set in Youzhou, and there is no need to pay attention to this set around me." ”

Chen Gong shook his head and said with emotion: "Since the last battle of Fanyang County, in just one year, our Youzhou can recover to such a situation, and the admiration of the lord is really indescribable. ”

"This is not my credit alone, without your great help, I can't do it, really speaking, you are the first to take a little credit."

The two praised each other, Yuan Xi didn't know whether Chen Gong was sincere or fake, anyway, he praised his subordinates sincerely, without them, there would be no Youzhou now.

After entering the city, Yuan Xi quickly discussed with Chen Gong about the matter of the navy this time.

At present, there are about 50,000 soldiers and horses in Liaoxi County, but the naval army is less than 5,000, which is obviously not enough.

"The lord, the humble position and Wen Yuan, plan to expand the naval army to about 30,000, I don't know what the lord wills?"

Yuan Xi frowned slightly, of course 30,000 is not much, it can even be said that it is not much at all, but it is a bit much compared to the 50,000 soldiers and horses in Liaoxi County. The location of Liaoxi County is special, and the army is also very important.

"Wentai, the navy already has five thousand, so pick out five thousand good hands in the water from the army, collect ten thousand, and don't move the remaining forty thousand."

Chen Gong hurriedly said: "Lord, our plan, the navy army is quite important in the future, and if there are 10,000 sailors, it will not be enough." ”

Yuan Xi said with a smile: "Not only is it not enough, but even 30,000 sailors are not enough, my goal is to have 100,000 sailors for us in the future." ”

Chen Gong was confused, "One hundred thousand? Now it's only 5,000, and the lord only plans to increase it by 5,000, so it's only 10,000, so how can it be 100,000? ”

"Don't be in a hurry," Yuan Xi said with a smile: "I mean, the soldiers and horses we have for the time being, it's better to move less, and others are slowly looking for people with excellent water from the people, so it will be much more convenient to train." ”

Water warfare is different from infantry warfare, and it is still very beneficial to recruit soldiers from the people.

"This?" Chen Gong hesitated, and said: "What does the lord mean is that our existing soldiers and horses should not make a big move, and the rest will recruit sailors from the people?" ”

"That's right, people who know how to water not only have to be raised, but also carefully observed, and those who are particularly powerful can also be reused. Water warfare is different from land warfare, although you and Wen Yuan have good ideas, there are also many blind spots in knowledge, let's gather more opinions from everyone in order to better develop and expand our water army. ”

Chen Gong and Zhang Liao, Yuan Xi naturally did not doubt the sincerity and ability of the two, but the construction of the navy was really completely handed over to the two of them, and the two of them only developed in their own way, and they might not be able to develop well if they really did.

He remembered some people, such as Gan Ning, or Jiang Qin, these were all good at water warfare, but unfortunately they were far away in Jiangdong, one Tiannan and one Dibei, even if the two had not been recruited at this time, there was no way for him to find the two.

I couldn't help but feel a little sorry in my heart, if I could get the second two, it would be much better than Zhang Liao and Chen Gong to train in person.

Of course, the two people who were killed, Zhang Yun and Cai Mao, seem to be good, but the same problem is that these people are beyond his reach.

"Navy generals, we have to train ourselves well," Yuan Xi looked at Chen Gong and said: "To promote these generals, you must not favor anyone in your heart, even if the other party is a big boss, but for the water marching battle, there is a set, we can use it, when talents are scarce, try more, it's always right." ”

"Humble duty, remember!" Chen Gong bowed his head and said that he remembered it.

The two chatted for a while, and finally Yuan Xi's goal for Chen Gong was to raise 30,000 sailors in three years, plus the previous 10,000, that is, 40,000 for the army, 40,000 for the navy, and the total number of soldiers and horses in Liaoxi County surged to 80,000, compared to this place, these soldiers and horses are enough.

But there is no way, the navy will play a vital role in his march into the world in the future, and it is also a good role for him to guard against other people's sneak attacks. I have to pay attention.

"My lord, there is still something to tell you about my humble position."

"What's the matter?" Seeing that it was a long day to chat, Yuan Xi was also very tired, and was about to ask him to prepare a place to rest for himself and rest well, but he didn't expect Chen Gong to have other things to say.

"That's right, when Wen Yuan and I first came, we encountered some bandits near the East China Sea Bay, they would go ashore from time to time to plunder, and their tracks were unpredictable, so that we were exhausted, and we couldn't subdue them, and we have lost a lot of losses until now, but there is no way at all. Lord, you see? ”

Water bandits? Yuan Xi was stunned, he was not angry about Chen Gong's frank announcement and telling himself, it was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, Chen Gong was powerful, but in the face of a strong opponent on the water, he would not be as easy to use as a god. There is no way and it is normal.

"How many bandits are there?"

"There are two shares, but the two seem to have reached some kind of agreement, they not only do not interfere with each other, but also cooperate from time to time, there are water bandits in the north, we have to pass, and when they pass, they disappear, and there will be water bandits in the south, and the harmony is very tacit, even if we don't go to be fooled, but if we really don't go, people are really imaginary, if you don't go, you will go ashore, loot and leave, so that people have no choice."

"Although our water army is not very strong, but it is divided into two parts, even if we can't subdue these two water bandits, it should be no problem to stop them, right?"

"The difficulty is here, the two water armies will not only cooperate, but sometimes they will be combined, the number of people is as many as more than 10,000, unless they can really grasp their attack intentions, otherwise they will distribute troops and horses casually, our water army that has just gotten up, where is the opponent of the water bandits."

"If the number of people is small, it is indeed difficult to do, but where did this water bandit come from so many people? Do you have any definite information? ”

The two water bandits combined have more than 10,000 people, which really scared Yuan Xi, this is really not a small number, the coastline of Liaoxi County is very long, and there are not many water troops, plus the other party is all bandits who are proficient in water warfare, this is really a careless ......
