The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 51 Development of the Navy
"You ordered people to record the portraits, knowledge, and conduct of all the families of Confucians, ministers, and generals in Linzi who have reached the age of marriage and have no matchmaking appointments, and hand them over to me. !"

Liu Bei finally took the initiative to use this terrifying power, but the first time he used this power was to find wives for his brothers. I don't know what Chen Ziming, who took the trouble to build this army, would think about it.

. . . . . . . . . .

The next day, Chen Ziming set off for Linqu County with He Fan, a master shipbuilder who had just arrived for refuge, and a group of his apprentices.

Originally, the best time to start construction would be the beginning of spring next year, but Chen Ziming and He Fan couldn't wait any longer, they both wanted the ship to come out sooner.

He Fan was born in a shipbuilding family for generations, and was very famous in the Yangtze River area, but it was a pity that his generation declined, because He Fan wanted to build a big ship that could sail on the sea without capsizing, but he couldn't get the support of the family and the government. It took all the family property to fail.

In the end, when he was about to give up, he heard the recruitment order, as if he saw hope. The reason why he was so active was to get Liu Bei's approval, and then get funding to continue researching his sea-going ships.

Unexpectedly, after expressing his requirements and ideas to Chen Ziming, Chen Ziming held his hand excitedly, and repeatedly promised to give him enough financial support and personnel support, and promised to let him build a sea-going ship.

He Fan is already in his fifties. In this age, if he is not a martial arts practitioner, fifty is almost at the end of his life, but he suddenly got such a surprise, which made him jump up like a child with excitement.

"Report to the military division, Linqu County is ahead."

Together with Chen Ziming and the others are the future admirals, Gan Ning and Gan Xingba.

He has received Liu Bei's order to start forming a navy, and the three armies will follow him to select suitable sailors.This made Gan Ning, who had been waiting for small rivers like the Yangtze River, very happy, and said that it was the right time to come to Qingzhou.

He has always wanted to go to sea, but unfortunately he does not have a sea boat that can sail on the sea, and he has never heard of such a boat. As far as the small boats he is driving, he does not want to die.

When Chen Ziming asked him to start recruiting people, he first organized the navy team, trained them first, and gave them to him as soon as the sea-going ship was built.

Gan Ning immediately regained his energy, and began to tell Chen Ziming how amazing the sailors are, how hard it is to find sailors, and then continued to talk about the difference between naval warfare and land warfare, but Chen Ziming immediately told him to shut up, and let him go He finds suitable soldiers by himself, and if he doesn't have enough money, he can just come and find him.

Gan Ning followed him to see the terrain and choose a place suitable for a port. Chen Ziming wanted to build a military port there and build a shipyard nearby.

The second is that Gan Ning said that people on the seashore are more suitable to be sailors. They grew up in the water and are born sailors.

"Just go directly to the city guard's mansion, don't disturb others."

Chen Ziming, who was sitting in the car with He Fan, said casually, without even opening the window to take a look. This car was designed by Chen Ziming, and then made by carpenters, specially for Chen Ziming.

In such a cold day, he didn't want to ride a horse outside. Although he really couldn't get anything like springs now, the carriage was very bumpy, but it was much better than riding a horse outside.

Liu Bei, who had ridden in this carriage once, immediately asked the carpenter to make one for several civil servants. Of course, his own was also indispensable.

"Military Master, this carriage is really good. It is most suitable for traveling in such a cold weather. My old bones are also enjoying the blessings of the Military Master." He Fan is now radiant, regardless of the bumpy road, and he is in the mood to chat with Chen Ziming.

"Hehe, you always like it, I will definitely get someone to get you a better one."

Chen Ziming respects the old and loves the young very much. If Gan Ning said this inside, he would definitely kick Gan Ning out. Of course, he must be able to kick him. Gan Ning's force value is not inferior to that of Zhang Fei. .

Gossiping all the way, the carriage stopped not long after.

"Zhang Liu, magistrate of Linqu County, pays his respects to the military advisor!"

"Wang Yi, the garrison of Linqu County, pays his respects to the military advisor!"

"Well, talk inside."

Chen Ziming got out of the carriage, shuddered, and immediately walked to the city guard's mansion, it was too cold outside.

"Let's go on your own, by the way, arrange a place for us to live, and then get us some food and drink."

Chen Ziming sent Zhang Liu and Wang Yi away.

Now under Liu Bei's rule, the military and government are separated in all places. The army is only responsible for stationing when encountering enemies, and has no right to manage local government affairs.

Government officials also do not have the right to order the army, not even the lowest guards.

"Gan Xingba, take someone to find a suitable place to build a port, and come to me after you find it."

With a wave of his hand, Chen Ziming habitually gave this kind of hard work to Gan Ning, a super fierce general. This kind of behavior made Chen Ziming feel very happy.

"like!"

Gan Ning excitedly accepted the order to leave, looking for a place for himself, no matter how cold or tired he was, he was happy.Besides, he was a super talented person, and he didn't dare to say anything about the order issued by his master Liu Bei's No.1 Chen Ziming.

"Master He, we should take a good rest and talk about other things when Gan Xingba comes back."

"like!"

Even a general like Gan Ning listened to Chen Ziming, an underground craftsman, he naturally did not dare to refute Chen Ziming, although Chen Ziming respected him very much and called him a master, but he was still just a craftsman.

Chen Ziming has never been out of the city guard's mansion since he lived here, and even the room is rare. It's too cold outside. It's not that Chen Ziming is afraid of the cold, but that there are really no warm clothes in this age, so he can only wear more coarse clothes or something To keep out the cold.

Chen Ziming finally realized that in ancient times people did not dare to fight in winter. The south was fine, but in the north, without warm clothes, many soldiers would freeze to death.

Chen Ziming originally wanted to play private visits or something, but looking at the weather, can any inn have guests? He may not meet people when he goes out. It is impossible for him to knock on the door one by one.

Until the afternoon of the third day, Gan Ning, who was ordered by Chen Ziming to find a suitable place to build a port, returned.

"Military division, I have found a suitable place to build a port, and it is in the fishing village."

As soon as Gan Ning came in, he excitedly shouted at Chen Ziming.

"Well, I know, take me to see it tomorrow, you go down and rest first."

Chen Ziming looked at the sky, it was already afternoon, he didn't want to spend the night outside, especially the night by the sea, it was so cold.

In the early morning of the next day, Chen Ziming took the team and set off. Gan Ning led the way, and the team of hundreds of people headed for the sea in a mighty way.
