Chapter 739: Ryukyu Military Port

On his first night on the Ryukyus, Xia Hongsheng was tired, but he did not fall asleep. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After a night of tossing and turning, I couldn't explain clearly in my head, I was confused, but I had a lot of thoughts.

Counting the future life, counting this life, this time is the farthest place Xia Hongsheng has ever been.

One is a small people, and the other is a poor scholar. In later generations, when people reach middle age, they are happy and quiet and vicious, and they are hard to eat, and they do nothing. The world is impermanent, and when it is as different as today, when it is blurred in the middle of the night, it is inevitable that people will wonder whether it is a real delusion or a dream. Whether it is a marantai canopy, or Zhuang Shengxiao's dream of butterflies.

Even if you have been in Datang for so many years, you will still feel a sense of uncertainty and unreality in a trance, worrying that you will suddenly wake up and find that the yellow rice in the pot has not yet boiled.

At dawn, Li Chengqian came to knock on the door, Xia Hong rose up, and as soon as the door opened, he saw Li Chengqian's face excited and expectant, and said: "Quick, Brother Sheng, take advantage of the early morning to cool down, let's go and have a look!" ”

Seeing Li Chengqian's excitement and expectation, Xia Hongsheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart that it was good to be young.

When you are young, the past is gone. Even if you change time and space, change your age, and change your body, it is difficult to return to your youth. Because it was this heart that was "young" in the past.

shouted Qi Yong, and the three of them went out together. The place where they lived was the house built by the sailor. It was intended to become a permanent base for the Tang Naval Division, so many houses were built in the military port.

There was no need for someone to lead them, and the three of them went straight to the beach -- Li Chengqian was anxious to see the military port.

Although Xia Hongsheng has never been to the military port of Ryukyu, he is no stranger to the military port of Ryukyu. Because the drawings of this military port were designed by him, and then handed over to Li Xiaogong when Li Xiaogong left, along with those materials.

"Brother Sheng, the distance between the military port and the commercial port does not seem to be too far, and if you ride a horse, it is estimated that it will be more than half an hour. This doesn't work as a covert, so why separate them? Anyway, it's so close to the commercial port, so there is basically no hidden role, so why do you need to do more? ”

Xia Hongsheng shook his head and said, "The military port is not just for concealment. Although it is not far from the commercial port, it can also play a role in protecting the commercial port. In addition, the scale of the military port is so large, even if you want to hide, it is not easy. As for why they were separated, it was because many of the requirements of the military port could not be met by the commercial port. Some of the supporting facilities required by military ships are also not available in commercial ports. ”

"Oh?" Li Chengqian looked like a curious baby and asked, "What's the way here?" Brother Sheng, tell me about it! ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded and said, "The military port, as the name suggests, is a port exclusively for naval ships. A military base for ships to moor, shelter from storms, and obtain combat, technical, logistical and other support, and with corresponding equipment and defense facilities, also known as a naval base. It is an important part of a country's navy and coastal defense, and it is also an important support for the survival, development, and training of a country's navy. As a rule, military ports are located along bays, islands, rivers, and lakes with important military status and good natural conditions, and there are comprehensive ports for various types of ships to berth and special ports for one type of warships. There are caves built in the military port, and firearms will be arranged in the future to form a complete defense system. Of course, there are also ports that integrate military and commerce, and are used by both military and civilian use. However, on the Ryukyu side, the plan is to build a professional, large-scale military port, so it is better to share it with a different commercial port. ”

Li Xiaogong's military camp is in the middle of the commercial port and the military port, and Xia Hongsheng and his residence are close to the military port, and they will be used as the barracks of the military port in the future, so the distance is very close.

The sea ships of the Tang Dynasty Navy Division were stationed inside, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and one side was facing north into the sea. That's right, it is the location of Keelung Port in the later generations.

It is precisely because of this that Xia Hongsheng will know that this place is suitable for building a port, so he will let Li Xiaogong set off from Quanzhou and come here directly.

"Brother Sheng, look, there are people training over there." Li Chengqian pointed to the beach and said.

Xia Hongsheng looked at Li Chengqian's hand and saw a large group of people running back and forth on the beach by the sea. So I gladly went over and found my way down to the beach.

"Run! Hurry up! A captain shouted in the back: "If you don't run faster, you won't be able to catch up with the enemy when you go to the battlefield, and if you can't catch up with the enemy, you won't have any credit!" If you run so slowly, I'm going to let the dog go! ”

"I'm afraid it's the new recruits, right?" Li Chengqian asked.

Qi Yong's eyes were hot, and this thing was interested in this kind of very bloody and eye-catching scene. There is a posture that wants to rush up and run together shirtless.

"Brother Sheng, you said that these people are going to fight Liaodong, can you do it?" Li Chengqian looked at the people running back and forth below and asked.

"Now, of course not. But people change. After training, after becoming a soldier of various Tang Dynasty, you can do it. Xia Hongsheng looked at it and said, "First of all, they must have a good physical fitness, and after that, they can receive further intensive training." ”

As they spoke, the three of them approached. The lieutenant saw the three men and walked over.

He had already seen Xia Hongsheng in the barracks yesterday, so after coming over, he immediately saluted: "The last general has seen the general!" ”

Those who were trained were all taken aback when they saw this, because Xia Hongsheng was too young, but he turned out to be a general, so they were all surprised.

"How is the usual training for these recruits arranged?" Xia Hongsheng asked.

The lieutenant replied: "General Hui, according to the order of the general, these recruits will mainly undergo military posture and discipline and physical training for the first two months, running three times a day, each time a hundred times and going back and forth. The first half of the day is interspersed with various military postures and push-ups, etc., the second half of the day is interspersed with frog jumping, etc., and in the evening, I take political classes and learn to sing military songs! ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded, Li Xiaogong was indeed trained in accordance with the military training manual. Since this thing has shown many effects in the military academy that can make soldiers order and prohibit, and the military appearance is neat, it has been popularized in the army of Datang.

"Being a sailor is more complex than what you face on land. In the future, several items will be added to the recruit training of the sailors. Swimming, diving, and balancing should be added. In addition, you should pay attention to the qualifications of these people, and after the recruit training, you will be asked to select some of them to be trained by the Marine Corps. Xia Hongsheng thought for a moment and said to the captain.

"Marines?" The lieutenant apparently didn't know about it yet.

Xia Hongsheng smiled, lowered his voice a little, and asked, "Have you heard of the Datang Blade?" ”

The lieutenant was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became excited, and said, "The last general knows! That's the top and most powerful team in our Datang Army! Everyone in it can be called the elite of the elite! ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, the Marine Corps is the 'Tang Blade' in the Navy!" (To be continued.) )
