The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 89 Scaling Up
On the third day, Gan Ning, who went out to sea for the first time, returned to Linqu Military Port. The sailboat docked undamaged, which made Chen Ziming heave a sigh of relief. At the same time, he immediately asked Gan Ning what he had gained from his first voyage.

"Military Master, this boat is very good. We encountered wind and waves last night, but this boat was intact. It's really a good boat..." Gan Ning excitedly began to talk about his feelings of driving the sailboat to sail on the sea.

"Stop, this is what you want to hear." It was really rare to listen to the nonsense of Gan Ning's mother-in-law, Chen Ziming immediately interrupted Gan Ning's excited tirade.

Although Gan Ning thought that what he said was very meaningful, but in Chen Ziming's view, it was just an ignorant bumpkin entering the Grand View Garden.

Where there are reefs, where the wind and waves are strong, what huge schools of fish you see, how high the waves are, etc. Chen Ziming hopes that Gan Ning will still have this passion after a year of wandering at sea.

Although Chen Ziming had never felt what it was like to sail on the endless ocean, he heard that it was a very disgusting thing.

"Linqu Shipyard will expand its scale and start three production lines at the same time. That is to say, three months later, the navy will add three new seagoing ships, and they will be even better than the current one."

"Furthermore, the construction of sea-going ships will never stop, and the scale of the dock will continue to expand infinitely. What I mean is that within the next year, Qingzhou will build a powerful fleet with ten sea-going ships."

"However, your navy currently has [-] soldiers, and there are very few who can control sailing ships, and they can take on the heavy responsibility of the navy."

"I now order you to form a navy of [-] people, and you need people who can board and disembark to fight. You can also divide the navy into various arms according to your needs, such as those who drive sailing ships, those who control offensive weapons, and those who land and fight." Soldiers of war."

"I'll give you half a year. If you can't build a navy of this size, you can resign yourself from the post of admiral, and I will choose another capable person to take it on!"

Chen Ziming began to issue an ultimatum to Gan Ning. He did not have much time to slowly build up the navy. Now that the world is getting more and more chaotic, Liu Bei may start the war to unify the Central Plains ahead of schedule.

In fact, Gan Ning has done a very good job. Using some small boats, he has trained so many soldiers who can steer a large sailboat, and they are all elite soldiers.

Chen Ziming established the navy not to transport a few soldiers and horses, but to make the navy able to take down a powerful army wherever it went.

After hearing Chen Ziming's words, Gan Ning immediately wrote down a military order, promising to build a powerful navy for Chen Ziming within half a year, and then began to recruit troops everywhere.

And Chen Ziming is not idle. For example, the funds needed to build seagoing ships are not something that He Fan can obtain. Jian Yong, who has the qualities of a miser, is very tight.

Jian Yong doesn't understand the importance of sea-going ships, he only knows that money is needed, a lot of money, and now Chen Ziming is going to expand the Linqu Dockyard several times, and open three ships at the same time to manufacture sea-going ships.

In other words, the current cost will be more than three times the original cost, which is definitely not acceptable to Jian Yong, and it is impossible for Liu Bei to accept this cost.

Chen Ziming went out, and he was not looking for Liu Bei, nor Jian Yong, but the rich man Mi Zhu, and he sent an IOU to Mi Zhu, saying that once the navy had a large scale, he could get Mi Zhu a silver mountain.

Although Mi Zhu didn't know what Chen Ziming's so-called Yinshan was, but he had seen Chen Ziming's ability. Whatever Chen Ziming said, there would definitely be something. Mi Zhu firmly believed in this.

Moreover, Mi Zhu is also very grateful to Chen Ziming, because Chen Ziming suggested that Liu Bei take his sister Mi Zhen, which is a great thing. Once his sister marries Liu Bei, then Liu Bei will win the world in the future, and his sister is very likely to be the queen. And he will be exalted.

The Mi family has a lot of money and what he needs now is status and status, so after Mi Zhu recognized Liu Bei as the master, he began to spare no effort to help Liu Bei, and Mi Zhu would give as much money as he needed.

Of course, history has proved that Mi Zhu's investment is very wise. Liu Bei did not disappoint Mi Zhu, even if Mi Fang, Mi Zhu's younger brother, surrendered to Sun Quan and indirectly killed Guan Yu, Liu Bei did not blame or embarrass Mi Zhu at all.

Moreover, Mi Zhu himself is not a person with great ambitions, he does not have the ambition to become Lu Buwei of the Great Qin Empire, that's why Chen Ziming dared to support Mi Zhu in this way.

Under the advice of Chen Ziming, Mi Zhu agreed to fully support the construction of sea-going ships, because Chen Ziming told Mi Zhu that when the world is peaceful in the future, the Mi family can own a super fleet at sea, a caravan composed entirely of sea-going ships, but the Mi family is the real one. The wealth of the country is invincible.

With Mi Zhu's support, money is no longer a problem. Mi Zhu's money to support the shipyard will not go through Jian Yong, but directly to the shipyard. Of course, Chen Ziming has specially set up a very large and strict financial management organization for the shipyard. Absolutely no large-scale corruption.

After settling the money issue, Chen Ziming found time to save it with Cai Yanwen, and then hurried to Linqu Military Port. He was still very dissatisfied with the current navy, so he decided to take action himself to speed up the progress of the navy's formation.

Of course, it was impossible for Chen Ziming to lead the team to train in person, and he didn't know anything about it. All he could do was write and draw.

Chen Ziming sorted out the common sense he knew at sea, and then figured out the precautions for sea navigation, and finally figured out self-rescue at sea.

Let Gan Ning organize high-level generals to study, and then start to popularize the whole army, and the whole army will conduct competitions and assessments from time to time, and use all methods to speed up the construction of the navy.

During this period, the first and only sea-going ship went out to sea continuously. In Chen Ziming's words, the navy is not seen, but trained. The navy is a technical arm, not as easy to form as the army.

Of course, Gan Ning once invited Chen Ziming to go out to sea together. At first, Chen Ziming was a little moved, but soon he refused on the grounds that he was busy.

Chen Ziming is busy, but he still has time to go out to sea. Why is Chen Ziming unwilling to go out to sea? In the final analysis, he is still afraid of death.

Because from Chen Ziming's point of view, this sea boat is very dangerous no matter how you look at it. It may sink when there is a big wave. He can't swim, let alone fall into the sea, and there will be no life.

Chen Ziming thought that after the establishment of a super fleet in the future, he would like to go to the sea to see it. After all, it is the sea, a place that many people yearn for.

Once you get busy, what is time?It passed in a flash, and it was the end of the year again, and winter came, and the soldiers and horses of the princes from all walks of life began to return to their nests to prepare for the winter.

And Chen Ziming also planned to return to Linqu to celebrate the New Year immediately, where he lived in Linqu Dockyard for nearly half a year.
