Chapter 592: Co-optation

Haikou Water Village.

A fleet of ships approached in the distance. Lu Yao stood alone on the top deck, looking around, embarrassed. It's not easy.

Broke through the blockade of the Soochow Naval Division, and the fleet suffered a lot of damage. In the vast sea, the threat does not only come from the Soochow sailors, but also various natural disasters such as storms and rains are the real enemies. Fortunately, he was escorted by the East China Sea Fleet led by Gan Ning, and there was no danger along the way, and he returned to Zhuya safely.

The fleet was approaching, and someone had already gone to pass the news. When the fleet sailed into the water village and docked, Zhou Yu and other former Dongwu generals were already waiting on the dock.

"The last general will meet the prince." Zhou Yu and the others saw Lu Yao coming off the boat and greeted him in unison.

"No courtesy." Lu Yao smiled and waved his hand, his eyes swept away, and he immediately saw Lu Meng in the crowd.

It's done.

Among the four governors of Eastern Wu before and after history, only the second governor Lu Su was not there. The three major sailors and governors gathered under their command, how awesome this lineup is.

"The criminal minister Lu Meng has seen the prince, and he also asks the prince to forgive the guilty minister for the crime he committed a few days ago." Lu Meng saw Lu Yao's gaze, and immediately pleaded guiltily.

"What is the sin of each for his own master?" Lu Yao laughed. Hengzhi did not suffer a loss, more than 50,000 Xiliang iron cavalry in exchange for a million elite troops of Eastern Wu plus three famous generals of Lu Meng, making a lot of money.

After the monarch and the minister met, they were happy to be co-opted.

In accordance with his promise, Lu Yao appointed Zhou Yu as the Governor of the Navy, and directly under his command the South China Sea Fleet, and commanded the Southeast, Northwest, and Four Seas Fleet. Gan Ning, Lu Xun and Lü Meng were all deputy governors, leading the three main fleets in the east, west and north respectively. Cheng Pu and other generals, plus the newly commissioned Ding Feng, a total of eight generals, were stationed in the four fleets as vice admirals.

After the position was sealed, Lu Yao followed closely and made arrangements for the newly descended Dongwu sailors.

First of all, there are 800,000 sailors out of a million-strong army. Previously, Sun Quan and the Chen family joined forces to expedition to Zhuya, and the Eastern Wu army was mainly stubborn, mainly attacking the player group. Therefore, the naval division accounted for the vast majority, with only 200,000 troops.

These 800,000 elite sailors were naturally broken up by Lu Yao and reinserted into the four fleets. This is the meaning of the title, and even Lu Meng and the other three newly descended people have nothing to say.

With the addition of these 800,000 elite sailors, the scale of the Xanadu sailors has reached 2.8 million, and the scale of the four fleets has just begun. The number of men in each of the main fleets reached 700,000.

The second is the biggest takeaway.

In this expedition to Zhuya, Sun Quan sent a total of 3,000 ships and 30,000 ships. After arriving at Zhuya, these warships were stationed in the water village. And now, all of them have the surname Lu.

The order of the four people, including the Duke of Blood, of course, needs to be met first. Two thousand ships and two thousand ships were dispatched, and the remaining ships and ships were distributed to the four main fleets in proportion.

Lu Yao's goal has been expanded, and he is preparing to create a three-level system with Qiankun building ships, ordinary building ships, and ship fighting ships as the main composition, so that the naval fleet can have a more stable composition and facilitate the implementation of various tactics.

For this reason, Lu Yao has ordered the dock to start construction at full speed. The initial goal is that the four main fleets each have 300 Qiankun ships, 600 ordinary ships, and the corresponding warships according to the ratio of 1 to 10.

Compared with ordinary building ships, the Qiankun building ship is only ten times larger in content space, and the appearance and body shape are no different from ordinary building ships. At present, among the Xanadu naval divisions that use dragon artillery as the main means of attack, the Qiankun Lou ship is more responsible for carrying grain, grass, baggage, marines, and flagships at all levels.

Lu Yao gave an order, and the entire Xanadu force acted nervously. First up is the dockyard and the workshop led by Ma Jun.

The four main fleets were formed, and the warships and soldiers basically reached the minimum standard, but the output of the Divine Fire Crow and Dragon Cannon still failed to satisfy Lu Yao.

The Divine Fire Crow is a foreign trade commodity, and it depends on this to make money. And the dragon cannon belongs to the most powerful hole card in Lu Yao's hand, and it is the most important thing, which is related to the safety of the entire Xanadu force, which is especially important for Lu Yao.

Lü Meng raised his army and surrendered, which solved the biggest crisis in Zhuya Prefecture, and also brought Lu Yao enough time for development.

The defeat of the Chen family's fleet on the sea made other players no longer enthusiastic about the expedition to Zhuya, and instead threw themselves into the more favorable battle of Chibi.

The withdrawal of the player group, coupled with the defection of Zhou Yu and other generals, made Dongwu even worse, and he had no confidence to expedition to Zhuya. Today, Lu Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Ya stabilized.

Due to Lü Meng's surrender, Lu Yao also gave up using his parents' village building order to build a temporary territory in Haikou, and directly incorporated Haikou City, a war fortress built by Lü Meng, as a temporary station before the power of Xanadu City radiated to this side.

handed over the matter of incorporation to Zhou Yu and other generals, and Lu Yao told Gan Ning to rush back to Yizhou with the vulture bones to assist the soldiers in unifying Yizhou, and then returned to Xanadu City with the foot trainer.

Now that he is married, it is impossible to arrange for the foot trainer to live in the lord's mansion. Don't say that he doesn't have this mind, the old antique Cai Yong will not allow this kind of thing to happen that violates the etiquette system. So the foot trainer was arranged in the mansion next to the lord's mansion, and Cai Yong was responsible for arranging the maidservants. It's none of his business.

With him as the lord in charge, the whole force has obviously gained greater cohesion. The good news is that it's coming day after day. Prime Minister Xun Yu was so busy that his heels were sticking to the back of his head, and he was full of joy to send all kinds of good news.

What made Lu Yao most relieved was that the spell that had been haunted for many years was gone. Relying on the huge base of 400 million people, all kinds of talents have sprung up. All aspects of the territory have been strongly complemented. In particular, in terms of workshops, the number of craftsmen has increased greatly, which has led to the production of two powerful weapons, the Divine Fire Flying Crow and the Dragon Cannon. The inventory is now abundant.

In just over a month, Lu Yao was already confident enough to fight another battle that was not inferior to the original battle with the Chen family's fleet.

The output of black technology has been guaranteed, and Lu Yao's second concern is the incorporation of the former Soochow army and the reorganization of the four fleets.

In this regard, Zhou Yu and others did not disappoint him. Except for the East China Sea Fleet led by Gan Ning, who went to Yizhou for field service, the other three fleets have completed the reorganization work according to his expectations and have begun to inspect.

First, it is to test whether there is a problem with the newly formed fleet, and second, it is also to find a suitable natural harbor along the coast of Zhuya to build a port, so as to form the four major naval divisions in the southeast, northwest, and northwest, and be responsible for the sea power and security of the entire Zhuya.

Everything is in order, but another problem arises.

Lu Yao found that he was going to become poor again.

The rapid development of Xanadu City is inseparable from money. Large-scale, large-scale, and all-round drastic improvements have drained the funds on the lord's panel.

Lu Yao looked at the seven-digit number left on the territory funds, rubbed his chin, and said to himself: "Calculate the time, the Blood Duke, they are almost coming, right?" ”
