Hearing Shang Ji ask this question, Ling Cao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately became energetic.

Before the Battle of Goguryeo, the sailors had always been like a soy sauce-like existence, assisting in the transportation of troops, and the actual effect was far less than the high military spending. Ling Cao has also been unable to raise his head among the main generals.

Later, when the time finally came, the sailor not only played a pivotal role in the battle with Park Yin, but also brought back a huge amount of hundreds of millions of gold after the war. This battle also made the sailor raise his eyebrows up and down, and made Ling Cao, the admiral of the sailor, show off his sense of existence.

However, the good times didn't last long, and in the subsequent Xianbei War, the sailor didn't even have to fight soy sauce!

Ling Cao was worried about whether Shang Ji would reduce the expenses of the Sailors, after all, from a strategic point of view, maintaining a large-scale Sailor Army was not particularly significant for Pingzhou. In terms of the geographical location of Pingzhou, the foot soldiers are the real mainstay!

Fortunately, Shang Ji had a long-term vision and did not reduce the expenses of the water master as Ling Cao was worried.

"Under the wise leadership of the lord, my Pingzhou sailor is growing stronger and stronger. At present, it has become the strongest surface combat force in the northern region. ”

Shang Ji immediately laughed when he heard this, this Ling Cao also began to be dishonest, and he actually learned to pick out the words!

Because of many factors such as environment, climate, and topography, the south has always been far stronger than the north in terms of shipbuilding and naval development.

The sailors in the northern region generally only maintain one existence, and the actual combat strength is quite reluctant. Although the Pingzhou Naval Division is strong, it can only be said to be dominant in the northern region.

Although Sun Jian in the south is still mixed in Changsha, and the basic plate of the six counties in the east of the Dongwu River has not yet been reached in history, it does not mean that there is no strong naval force in the south.

Just like before Shang Ji ruled Liaodong, there were millions of troops in one county in Liaodong!

Although these armies have many problems such as empty salaries, straw bales of generals, and lack of training of non-commissioned officers, this does not deny that there are a large number of local troops.

Comparable to this, there are also a very considerable number of sailor units in the southern region, which originally belonged to the Han Dynasty and were under the jurisdiction of Captain Lou Chuan. It was only later that Dong Zhuo entered Beijing and basically ignored the Louchuan troops, and these Louchuan troops stationed in the southern region colluded with the local princes in order to survive or for power, and became a local separatist force.

Taking Pingzhou's proudest building ship as an example, the current number of building ships in the entire Han Dynasty is hundreds, and Pingzhou only accounts for an insignificant part of it!

Of course, the remaining hundreds of building ships are distributed among more than a dozen large and small forces in the north, and the Pingzhou Sailor alone is not bad compared with any one, but it is difficult to achieve dominance.

"My lord, up to now, there are a total of 460,000 people in the whole army of our Pingzhou Naval Division, ten ordinary building ships, three wave-type building ships, a total of 670 ships at all levels, and more than 80 large junk ships directly under the jurisdiction of the Pingzhou Naval Division.

In addition, in the event of an emergency, we can also requisition more than 1,000 civilian vessels at all levels. Of course, among them, they are mainly fishing boats and cargo ships converted from small junk ships, and their carrying capacity cannot be compared with large junk ships. ”

"Good, good, JCDecaux can't do well!"

Shang Ji nodded with satisfaction, compared with the period of the Battle of Gaoguryeo, the current Pingzhou Naval Division has made great progress. At present, the strength is still slightly insufficient, and when the sailor is refined, it is completely possible to rely on the sailor to carry out strategic deterrence against Jizhou and Qingzhou. Once the time is ripe, he can follow the example of Gongsun Du in history, send troops across the sea to occupy the eastern part of Qingzhou, and form a strategic encirclement of Jizhou.

If you really can't do it, you can directly cross the sea to attack Bohai County and kick Yuan Shao's lair. For this historical overlord of Hebei, Shang Ji paid twelve points of attention to it, and did not dare to be careless.

Historically, Yuan Shao developed from a county in the Bohai Sea to a hegemon in Hebei, which dominated the four states of Qinghai, Hebei, You, and Youzhou, and it didn't take long. Yuan Shao's initial performance can be described by the word super god.

Of course, the fact that Yuan Shao was a super ghost all the way in the later period will not be discussed.

After listening to Ling Cao's report on the general situation of the Pingzhou Sailor, Shang Ji was in a good mood. Seeing this, Ling Cao took the opportunity to put forward the suggestion of holding a sailor drill and inviting the lord to review.

Shang Ji was also very interested in this proposal and immediately agreed.

The Pingzhou Navy Division was well-trained, and the naval drill was carried out in three days and two ends, but this time Shang Ji personally attended, which made the exercise a little special.

After a little preparation, according to Shang Ji's order, the naval division was divided into two parts, one part was commanded by Ling Cao, and the other part was commanded by Gan Ning, and the two armies conducted exercises and operations at sea.

The scale of this acting is quite large, and the Pingzhou sailor almost poured out. The two of them commanded the warships to come and go on the sea, which dazzled Shang Ji.

It must be admitted that Shang Ji knew almost nothing about naval warfare, and he couldn't see any way, but he felt that naval warfare was more dangerous than land warfare.

The water battle lasted for a day and a night, and it was not until dawn the next day that the winner was decided. According to the rules of acting, it was judged that three ships of the main building of the naval division led by Ling Cao were sunk, and more than half of the auxiliary ships such as the stern and the fighting ship were killed or wounded, and they basically lost their combat effectiveness.

Of course, the other side played by Gan Ning also paid a heavy price, with more than one-third of the battle losses of the whole army, and in the end, it was Gan Ning who personally led the dead soldiers to assassinate Ling Cao's flagship, causing Ling Cao's department to lose effective command and barely achieve victory.

In response to the saying that the insider looks at the doorway and the layman looks at the excitement, Shang Ji, a layman, didn't see much, but he saw enough excitement.

Although it was an acting, the torch stones fired by the Burst Torch Stone Truck were replaced with special acting stones, resulting in a greatly reduced visual effect of the battle, which still made Shang Ji feel very enjoyable.

Two fleets, hundreds of warships, bombarded each other. The endless sea is full of galloping warships, and the visual effect is much more enjoyable than land combat.

Even though Shang Ji didn't know anything about water warfare, Shang Ji also saw that this naval division was different from land warfare, and the advantages and disadvantages of the warships played a decisive role in naval warfare!

In this exercise, the strength of the two sides was almost equal, and the warships were almost evenly divided, the only difference was that two of the three Yulang-class buildings were assigned to Ling Cao!

This gap has made Gan Ning suffer enough, if it weren't for this, Gan Ning would not have made a dangerous move, and attacked the Ling Cao ship with a dead soldier.

That is, Ling Cao relaxed his vigilance, and added restrictions on the rules of the show, so that Ling Cao forcibly "died", otherwise this Gan Ning really couldn't win!

After getting too much of his addiction, Shang Ji summoned the main generals of the water division separately. first criticized Ling Cao's paralyzing carelessness, but also praised Gan Ning's decisiveness and bravery, and finally encouraged and exhorted the two, in short, they were some common royal methods.

Of course, the main purpose of the Shang Ji was the same as that of the Lulong Fortress, in order to check the loyalty of the sailor generals.

The condition of the sailor is better than that of the Lulong Fortress, after all, the sailor is closer, and Shang Ji has been here a few times if he has nothing to do, so he is familiar with the condition of the sailor.

After exhorting and talking to the main generals one by one, Shang Ji left the city and went to the clan that was only a line away from the city!

Strictly speaking, it is also part of the Tsu clan, which is actually just a port. It is only because it is the home port of the Pingzhou Navy Division that Lingjin has a strong independence, and the county order of Yushi County is relatively loose in the management of Yujin.

As one of the thirteen big cities in eastern Liaodong, the county order is called Li Lin. Although he is not a historical celebrity, his ability is quite good, and he put forward the proposal of relying on geography to develop the fishery early.

Now under his rule, the Yu clan is also a fairly prosperous city in Liaodong.

Li Lin, as the county commander, naturally waited for Shang Ji at the gate of the city early, and Shang Ji was not polite, and went straight to the city lord's mansion after following him into the city.

"The development of the Yu family is quite good, much more prosperous than the last time, Li County has made outstanding meritorious contributions!"

Li Lin's face bloomed with joy, but he even excused himself: "The lord praises falsely, and his subordinates dare not be ashamed." Thanks to your wisdom, the Clan has been able to make today's changes! ”

"Your credit is your credit, and you don't have to be humble. How can this be a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong? I will truthfully relay your attack to Hongzhu, and let Hongzhu promote it as he sees fit! ”

"My subordinates have thanked my lord!"

After the politeness, Shang Ji went straight to the point: "Li County Order, I will ask you, how much seafood can this family catch in January?" ”

Aquatic fishing is the pillar industry of the Fishery, and the specific data of Li County Ling was clear in his heart, and he immediately said: "The Lord of Qi, since the Lord has vigorously supported the development of the fishery of the Lord, the fishing of the Fishery has changed three times a day. At present, there are more than 800 large-scale fishing vessels registered in our family, and the daily catch can reach 100,000 stone under full fishing! ”

"Catch it all?" Shang Ji was very sensitive to hear something special from Li County's words.

Li Xianling's face suddenly stiffened, and he sighed and explained: "Lord Rong, the Yu clan is close to the sea, and the geographical conditions are very superior, which is extremely suitable for the people to go out to sea to fish. However, seafood is easy to obtain but not easy to sell! ”

"Only a very small part of the city can be digested, and although fishing in other coastal areas is not as convenient as that of the city, it is more than enough for its own use. If you want to digest the fishing, you must transport it to the inland counties of Xiangping. However, seafood is highly perishable and cannot be transported over long distances, even if it is easy to drive. Therefore, the seafood caught by the Yu family is already in surplus, and in order to ensure the interests of fishermen, his subordinates do not dare to let the people fish with all their might. ”

When Shang Ji heard this, it suddenly became clear that the transportation of seafood is also a big problem for modern times when transportation is extremely developed, let alone ancient times. In the ancient times of the real world, more than a hundred miles away from the sea, ordinary civilians did not want to eat fresh seafood. And the fishermen who live by the sea can only watch in despair as the hard-caught seafood rots and spoils!

Although the situation in the beacon has improved slightly, the problem is still serious!

However, a very important purpose of Shang Ji's coming this time was to solve this problem, so I saw him smile faintly and said loudly: "Li County Order, from today onwards, you should worry about the lack of fishing capacity of the Yu family!" ”
