Chapter 375 East China Sea Fleet

Another year passed, and in the spring of 1654, the Pingbei Army took a year's rest and made another full-scale attack on Wu Sangui. Although Wu Sangui also recuperates for a year, he doesn't seem to care about the fierceness of the Pingbei Army. His generals shouted one by one to destroy the Pingbei Army and unify China.

Last year, Li Dingguo officially joined the Pingbei Army and met Liu Xia in Luoyang. When Li Dingguo saw Liu Xia Zhenren, he couldn't help but be surprised by Liu Xia's youth. At the same time, I admire Liu Xialai even more. He can have such a career at such a young age. In fact, ordinary people?

Li Dingguo officially took the title of Storm Legion in the army. In fact, in addition to the official name, Li Dingguo's soldiers and horses were built according to the legion, and many of the officers were from the Armament School. Now in the whole army, the officers from the Armament School are all over the army, and they have become a new faction.

When the Kui Wolf Legion, the Griffin Legion and the Storm Legion in the south were preparing to attack Wu Sangui, the 100,000 armies of the Green Dragon Legion and the Rosefinch Legion in the north began to continue to advance north. A few years ago, Liu Xia asked Zhang Yang to enter the Mongolian grassland. At the same time, Zhang Yang drew a fine map on the Mongolian grassland, so this map is now useful. The Blue Dragon Legion and the Rosefinch Legion began to take a map and launch a general attack on the Tatars in the north of the Mongolian grassland. At the same time, in order to ensure smooth logistics, the Logistics Department and the Railway Department continued to push forward with the two legions. As long as the army takes a step, the railway will advance one foot.

Although the construction of the Yellow River Bridge has not yet been completed, and the train from Luoyang cannot reach Beijing, a ship on the Yellow River is busy. They receive supplies and people from the south bank of the Yellow River, and then transport them to the train on the north bank of the Yellow River. In this way, the materials can be quickly brought to Beijing.

In the same year, the island of Honshu, Japan was fully occupied, a large number of Japanese were reduced to labor, and countless Japanese women were continuously sent to Chinese brothel. Liu Xia was not allowed to let anyone betray his own people, so the development of the brothel quickly shrank. After all, most of the women in the brothel were illegally traded, or were charged to the teaching workshop because of the crimes committed by the court. But Liu Xia stopped letting women enter the workshop because of the crime, but let them enter the factory to work. So now the brothel can't replenish fresh blood, and atrophy is inevitable. So some people began to go to the Mongolian grassland to arrest Tatar women and Tatar women. The women of these two races are not protected, but it is not easy to pass the government's review. After all, it is not so easy to tell whether it is Han or Tatar. Although it seems that the language doesn't understand, you will know it as soon as you speak. In fact, some black-hearted human traffickers have taught some Han women to speak Tatar from an early age, so that they can't speak Chinese when they grow up and command to speak Tatar Manchu or Mongolian.

But the good news came from Japan, that is, there are a lot of women who can sell it, and a large number of human traffickers scramble to go to Japan to find good varieties to buy. The prostitutes and many of them introduced from Japan over the years have become popular. For example, Mutenglan in Cuixiangfang, Luoyang City. The sky of Aoi in Yihongyuan and so on.

There are also some rebellious Japanese who retreated into Hokkaido step by step, and some went to overseas islands by boat. The whole island of Honshu fell under the rule of the navy. Then Liu Xia announced the establishment of the Japanese government under the jurisdiction of the prefectures, the four countries and the three places of Kyushu. And send a large number of officials. It also brought a lot of people. The Japanese were transported back to build the railway.

Then Liu Xia built three large steel mills, two of which are located in Liaodong. One is in Tangshan and two are in Anshan. Due to the gradual abundance of steel, the shipyard began to build steel armored warships. The steel-clad iron ships of several sailors that had been delayed were put on the agenda again. Soon, at the end of the year, two warships with a size of 20 feet were delivered to the navy. Five 30-foot wooden warships were also handed over to the navy.

So Liu Xia established the East China Sea Fleet, which allocated two ironclad ships from the North Sea Fleet, four wooden warships and more than 20 small ships to form the second naval ship of the Pingbei Army. Liu Xia was worried about the threat of Zheng Zhilong in Taiwan, so she asked Yu Mingjun to leave the North Sea Fleet and go to Songjiang Mansion, where the East China Sea Fleet was stationed. Most of the people of the East China Sea Fleet were transferred from the North Sea Fleet, and their combat effectiveness was not weak. However, compared with Zheng Zhilong's fleet, the East China Sea Fleet is still very small. However, in terms of the power of warships, Zheng Zhilong's warships can't be as good as Liu Xia's warships.

Now Liu Xia's warship has begun to be driven by a steam engine, and exquisite and powerful steel cannons are installed on both sides. Even if an iron-clad ship is against Zheng Zhilong's three-sailing warship of the same size, it has defeated me.

The North Sea Fleet pulled out seventy people and went to Songjiang Prefecture and entered the sequence of the East China Sea Fleet. Soon, the missing number of people in the North Sea Fleet was also found. The number of the East China Sea Fleet is 20,000. There is no fleet commander for the time being, and Yu Mingjun is also in charge. Because the responsibility of the East China Sea Fleet is too great now, ordinary people Liu Xia can't trust it.

Among the water army, there is only the trust of Liu Xia, who is deeply in the Ming Dynasty. For a long time, Yu Mingjun seems to have a high military rank, but his men have only been 20,000. It is far from the commander-in-chief of those departments. Under normal circumstances, the commanders of Xingdu Division are generally two legions. Each legion started with more than 20,000 people, but now it has increased to 50,000 people, that is to say, the commander of Xingdu Division holds 100,000 troops in his hand.

But he has only 20,000 people at the same level as the governor of the navy. Now that the East China Sea Fleet has been established, the total number of soldiers and horses under Yu Mingjun has reached 40,000. Although it is not much, it is much better than before. After all, the soldiers and horses in the hands of a man with a bicycle are less than half of the more riders, which is really not very good-looking.

Then, at the request of Mingjun, Liu Xia divided Ying Yangwei, a special force, into two. Among them, three adults were selected to enter the naval system, and the water army eagle guard was established, and the remaining seven became the army eagle guard. The water army Ying Yangwei has selected the remaining seven missing adults from the water army. So the first special forces of the navy finally completed the construction. The navy eagle Yangwei is still a guard-level organization, which is directly under the leadership of the governor's office of the navy. In this way, Yu Mingjun once again served as the boss of Ying Yangwei, which inspired many army scouts to enter the navy system. After all, Yu Mingjun's fame is there, and there are no fewer people who worship him.

Since solving the threat of Wu Sangui on the Yangtze River, Li Dabai, the deputy commander of the North Sea Fleet who went to the Kuilang Legion to help Mapeng, also returned to the North Sea Fleet with the warship. At the same time, he served as the deputy commander of the East China Sea Fleet. The current task of the North Sea Fleet is to protect the good luck route to Liaodong and connect with North Korea and Japan. At the same time, ensure the safety between them.

And the East China Sea Fleet has only one purpose, which is to deal with the threat of Taiwan. After establishing the East China Sea Fleet, Yu Mingjun explained Liu Xia's arrangements to the main generals of the East China Sea Fleet. Immediately, the entire East China Sea Fleet entered the preparation stage. Because the Dragon Group received information that Zheng Zhilong planned to attack the material ship shipped to Liaodong by the sailors, and the East China Sea Fleet must intercept and destroy it on the spot before Zheng Zhilong's navy reaches the Bohai Sea. Otherwise, once they enter the Bohai Sea, the consequences will be unimaginable. The loss of a large amount of materials is small, and it will be a big loss if dozens of transport ships of hundreds of meters are damaged. You should know that Liu Xia doesn't have that many ships now.

Although the entire territory west of Shenyang is now occupied by the Pingbei Army, water transportation saves labor costs and is fast at the same time. Therefore, most of the materials shipped to Liaodong now are by sea. And the purpose of the sea road is no longer Lushun, but the mackerel circle. Moreover, a railway from Beijing to Shenyang is being accelerated. Once the construction is completed, it can go directly from Luoyang to Shenyang. From the previous months, it can be shortened to within ten days. It saves a lot of time and is also very helpful for the development of Liaodong.
