"Lao Hei, you have been on this island for more than a year, and you are familiar with several docks on this island. These days, you're going to take some people around the docks and recruit some crew and sailors. Remember, when recruiting, try not to recruit people who work in large caravans, but try to recruit local people from poor backgrounds. The treatment is based on the monthly salary of ordinary sailors, and the accommodation and food are outsourced. Shipwrights are paid three times a month, including eight buckets of food, lodging and food. If it's an experienced mechanic who comes back and interviews me, I'll pay them well according to their ability. ”

Early in the morning, Li Jing found Qiu Shengong and instructed. He ordered three warships from the Han family, and they will be delivered in less than half a year. Last time, Zhang Yingying left an empty sea ship for him, which caught him off guard and recruited crew members everywhere. This time we can't afford to fight an unprepared battle. Battleships are different from ordinary sea ships, and sea ships can hire some crew members at will, come if they go, and leave if they can't.

However, the crew of the battleship must be relatively stable and reliable, not only with good skills, but also loyal and reliable. These three battleships cost Li Jing so much money, and the cost is so expensive, Li Jing attaches great importance to it. He is now training soldiers and family members on the island, but after all, he is on the island. In the future, if you want to attack, you have to leave the island. At sea, it is impossible to do without warships. And although his soldiers and family members can be converted into sailors at any time, it is impossible for them to learn to operate a warship at once.

This must be done by professionals. Li Jing also didn't have that much time to train the crew from scratch, so he could only recruit a group of mature and experienced people first. The three warships need at least about two hundred crews, and in this regard, Li Jing has no suitable candidates, so he simply leaves them all to Lao Hei to deal with, so he has stayed on Shamen Island and Da Xie Yan for a few years. No stranger to these things.

Qiu Shengong is now very loyal to Li Jing. He was very attentive to the task given to him by Li Jing. "General, if the three warships are really one ship, one ship, and one fighting ship, then at least a hundred skilled shipwrights are needed. In order to ensure the use of warships, it is also necessary to recruit more crews. In addition, if the battleship is in a naval battle, the land infantry is temporarily converted into sailors, the effect is not good, although many soldiers grow up on the seaside. However, it may not be able to adapt to the battle on the battleship. It is better to recruit a special group of sailors to train as sailors. ”

Li Jing thought about it, what Lao Hei said did make sense. Water warfare and land warfare are two completely different concepts. Sailors and land soldiers have a completely different system, and moving a land soldier to a ship does not mean that you can call it a sailor. And considering the special position he is in now, he still decided to prepare for both. It is necessary not only to have the ability to move infantry to warships for water combat at any time, but also to immediately set about forming and training a professional sailor unit. The battleships are all there. Are you reluctant to recruit a sailor?

"Then recruit three hundred crew members." Li Jing considered that the recruitment and training of the crew is not easy, and the sea is not as good as the land, once a ship is lost, it is possible to directly lose a shipload of people. So for the sake of long-term planning, he decided to recruit crew members by three times the needs first. Anyway, after recruitment, there must be a process of adapting to elimination, and when a batch is eliminated, the number of people will be about the same.

"Do you want to recruit sailors?"

"Well, you go first, don't worry. You have to recruit the crew first. But the sailors were in no hurry. Rather lack than abuse. Be sure to find a net worth that is more innocent, and loyal and honest. Temper meek. Try to recruit some coastal fishermen, preferably not those caravan sailors. We're recruiting soldiers, not crews, so it's all about being faithful. It must not be mixed in with pirates or caravan spies and other people. "Li Jing didn't have much to do with forming a team of sailors. It's just a matter of trying to recruit for the time being, anyway, even if you really want to form such a team, it will be at least half a year before the battleship arrives before it can be on the right track, so let's wait and see while recruiting now.

"I understand." Qiu Shengong was very grateful to Li Jing for giving him such an important task, which was a sign of trust.

After Qiu Shengong left, Lin Wei and the others came again. In the past two days, they have begun to modify the Squad and the Family Clan.

According to the plan of Li Jing's fancy team, the assessment was re-conducted and re-mixed according to different types of troops. At first glance, the refurbishment and reorganization are doing well, but there are some problems.

"The soldiers of the strange soldiers are the first to be full, and the jumping soldiers require high skills and courage, but many soldiers feel that the jumping soldiers are not as majestic as the cavalry and the Mo sword soldiers, and they are unwilling to sign up. There are also crossbow gangs that are not full, and there are still too few people who can shoot arrows, and the eleven teams need eleven groups of one hundred and thirty-two archers, but less than half of us have assessed the right ones. ”

"And the cavalry gang and the Zhanfeng Modao gang have many people signed up, there are many people who can ride horses, and the cavalry is almost full, but we are seriously short of war horses now, except for the officers' horses, if the cavalry ranger gang is formed, the eleventh team will need one hundred and thirty-two horses, and we don't have one yet."

"The Mo Dao Gang has the most people who have signed up, and we have also selected one hundred and thirty-two suitable Mo Dao Men from them. But the problem is that although we have purchased two hundred Mo knives, we still haven't gotten them yet. The newly formed eleven Mo Dao gangs have no knives to practice at all. ”

Zhang Hong summed up a few problems, in addition to the spear strange soldiers, everything went well, the jumping soldiers, a high-demand class, were disliked by the soldiers, and no one was willing to sign up, and there were not enough soldiers. However, there are few people who can shoot arrows, and there are also insufficient soldiers. The cavalry gang has no horses, and the Mo knife gang has no knives.

"The requirements for the jumping soldiers are really high, and when fighting, they are required to jump out and directly kill the enemy to charge the enemy formation. It requires strong martial arts and bold courage. I think we can improve the treatment of the jumping soldiers, raise the salary of the jumping soldiers by a level, and promote officers in the future, and promote more officers from the jumping gang. "Li Jing directly made a ruthless move, don't the soldiers look down on the jumping soldiers, then let's raise the status of the jumping soldiers, and don't believe in recruiting dissatisfied people.

"Mo Dao doesn't have it now, but you can practice with a long stick first, anyway, Mo Dao will be there in a few days. Guan Jian is the horse problem of this cavalry, we are on the island, and it is a little reluctant to match the rangers, right? War horses are extremely valuable, and they are difficult to buy, so I think it is better to cancel the cavalry group. Equip a bunch of pikemen. Zhang Hong proposed.

Li Jing shook his head. This Zhang Hong is very good at handling those logistics matters. But when it comes to these decision-making aspects, he is born with shortcomings, and he always seems to have a small pattern and a short-term vision. Cavalry is an extremely important branch of the army at all times. Although Li Jing and the others are only on an island now, who said that they will stay on the island for the rest of their lives?

In the future, if you go ashore, if you don't even have a cavalry. Even if his infantry trained to re-ride and fight the enemy, he won, but he can't catch up with the enemy and can't achieve a complete victory. Defeated, unable to escape the enemy. Small failures can turn into big failures. Cavalry not only represents strong mobility, but also represents strong aggression, which is absolutely indispensable.

If you don't practice now, if you want to practice in the future, how can you achieve it overnight.

Without waiting for Li Jing to object, Lin Wei was the first to speak out and object: "Cavalry must be had, with cavalry, whether it is mobile." Or reconnaissance, heralds, rangers, guards, flank cover. Assault, pursuit. Retreat, etc. can play a great role. Although cavalry is valuable, it must still be had. ”

Zhang Hong continued to settle accounts: "Raising one cavalry is equivalent to five infantry, and raising one hundred and thirty-two cavalry is equivalent to raising seven hundred infantrymen. Moreover, the cavalry not only has valuable horses and equipment, but also the consumption of each horse is even more amazing. ”

Li Jing waved his hand: "Don't calculate these, let's just pull out more if we consume more." You can't stop forming cavalry because of high consumption. This idea is wrong. The correct way to think is that cavalry is expensive, so we have to find a way to make more money. Now that there are no war horses, we can send some people to buy them first. Shamen Island is close to Liaodong, but Shandong does not, so we can find a way to go to Liaodong and buy horses with the Khitans, Xi people, and even Bohai people and Goguryeo people. For the time being, at this stage, you can let the cavalry train on their horses first. Anyway, everyone has just started, so it's just right to start with a colt. ”

The crowd laughed, and it was funny to think of a group of new horsemen practicing riding and archery on their dwarf horses.

"What's so funny about this, if the horses are not enough, I think you can ride a mule to practice riding and shooting, or even a donkey." If there are conditions, we must go up, and if there are no conditions, we must create conditions. With such an important branch of cavalry, Li Jing would never give up.

After agreeing on the matter of changing the outfits and mixing of the combat team and the family team, Li Jing briefly discussed the equipment of the auxiliary team and the logistics team with everyone. Considering the scarcity of equipment today, Li Jing proposed that the auxiliary corps and the logistics corps should all be listed as pure teams. However, this pure team is not absolutely pure, the auxiliary team and the logistics team will all be equipped with spears, and then they will be equipped with a horizontal knife and a bow, spears, horizontal knives, bows and arrows, this is all the equipment of the auxiliary soldiers and logistics troops. With both long-range and melee capabilities, it's actually a fancy outfit, but they're all equipped with the same equipment.

At this stage, if you are not equipped enough, you can only equip spears and horizontal knives first. Due to the lack of equipment, spears and horizontal knives cannot be equipped at the same time, and the team equipped with spears is a full spear team, and the team equipped with horizontal knives is a full horizontal knife team. Nearly 1,000 auxiliaries and logisticians loaded the hundreds of sets of weapons brought by Da Xie Yan, and equipped some extra spears and horizontal knives after the soldiers and auxiliaries were redressed and mixed, and a batch of spears were temporarily built by the blacksmith shop.

There are a total of 420 people and horses in the six teams of the auxiliary Sandu, all of which are equipped with horizontal knives, and six teams of pure horizontal knives.

There are a total of 700 people in the logistics five capitals and ten teams, and all of them are only equipped with spears, which is a pure spear team of ten teams of 700 people.

Li Jing signed his name on the equipment order with some sighs, Zhang Chengzong suddenly reported outside the door, walked in and whispered in his ear: "The female proprietor of the Sword Dance Pavilion on Tianjie is here, and she named in front of the castle gate and said that she wanted to see you." ”

Li Jing was stunned, why did this woman come?
