"The walking keel is a third-class ship, with a parapet on the side of the ship, and a drum for commanding the boatmen and the armored soldiers. The production cycle is one month. At present, the shipyard has three middle-level shipbuilders and ten low-level shipbuilders. Three boats can be produced at the same time. If the ship is sent, even a low-level shipmaker can preside over the production."

The shipyard in Liangshan Town, the supervisor responsible for the management of the shipyard explained to Chutian the situation of the boat.

The naval battalion in Xia Town is mainly based on walking boats and sentry ships. The difference lies in the size of the ships and whether they have a parapet.

The boat is already a warship in the true sense, with a deck. Below the deck are the oarsmen, and above are the sailors and soldiers.

The upper deck is equipped with a parapet, similar to a wooden city wall, which blocks the opponent's bows, arrows and stones, and protects the navy and soldiers.

The drummer on the deck is the core of the walk, and only by hearing the sound of the drum can the driver know where the force should be directed.

This third-class ship is suitable for fighting in calm rivers and offshore waters, and for sailing in the sea, it is necessary to rely on other types of ships.

"Add another seven boats to transport soldiers. We should be able to produce the nails for the boats by ourselves. Is there a problem with the wood?"

"It's not a problem to go back to my lord. There is a forest nearby that can provide wood. If you want to make a lucky boat for going out to sea, it may not be easy to do, but the quality of the wood is enough for a boat in the inland river."

The intermediate boatman is an advanced carpenter who is polishing a fishing boat.

Because Chutian did not have extra money to build navy before, the fourth-level shipyards were mostly used to produce civilian merchant ships and fishing boats.

The craftsman's proficiency can also be improved through private orders.

Hearing that the nearby wood can be used for the production of walking boats, Chutian felt a little relieved. It is more economical to use lumber from a lumber mill than to buy it indirectly from elsewhere.

The water bandits had already built two boats before, and Chu Tian took people to the deck of the boats.

Because of the water bandits, many townspeople in Liangshan Town were forcibly turned into gangsters by the water gangsters, so it was not difficult to recruit a group of gangsters in Liangshan Town.

After arranging the recruitment and training of the navy camp in Liangshan Town, Chutian returned to Xia Town, which is located upstream of Liangshan Town, directly by boat.

"It's good to be able to take the boat directly, without having to bear the bumps on the horse's back."

The length of the walking boat is about 20 meters, and the draft is not deep. Like the sentry ship, it is a fast and flexible warship. As long as the drummer beats the attacking drum, the boat will dash across the water, taking down the enemy. When the battle situation is unfavorable, the drums of retreat sounded, and the goge would immediately evacuate.

The shovel is located below deck and can be protected from loss of maneuverability.

In peacetime battles, bows and arrows are used for long distances, and swords and halberds are used for melee combat.

There is also a small water village between Xia Town and Liangshan Town. In the future, this will be the training place for the Marine Corps.

The three caves of the cunning rabbit, the navy battalion cannot only be parked in one place, otherwise it will be annihilated by the enemy's attack or fire attack.

"The lords in the northern part of the Eastern Han District don't care much about navy, but the lords in the Yangtze River, Lingnan, and Yizhou areas should try to develop navy as much as possible. Other civilized areas, especially some island countries, will attach great importance to navy, and Protect yourself."

Xia Liang analyzed the situation of other civilized areas for Chutian.

There is no doubt that in civilized areas such as Dongying and Malacca, navy is the top priority for them.

"These civilized areas will definitely rely on the navy to stop the lords of the Eastern Han district from attacking... But I haven't considered such a long-term matter. This navy is mainly used to conquer Langya City and Yangdu in the upper reaches, and Tancheng and Xia in the lower reaches. Pi. Ten walks are actually not enough, let’s take down Langya City first.”

Chutian has a clear plan, that is, to capture Langya City first, and then occupy the entire territory of Langya Country.

"So, do you want to make friends with Tao Qian? If Tao Qian sends troops to support Zang Ba, I am afraid it will become more difficult to attack Yang County.

"

"Tao Qian's side can't deal directly. You can ask them to stop Tao Qian from sending troops through the relationship of the Mi family. As long as Tao Qian hesitates, Kaiyang County will soon be captured for us. I hope there are other lords in Xuzhou. When the time comes, I will fight at the same time and share my pressure..."

Chu Tian suddenly caught a little inspiration and said to Xia Xia Liang, "You draw a sum of money from the silver treasury, like this... and then give them a great promise... No matter Fang Xuanling or anyone else, this matter is a matter of course. It's not as good as what you do."

Xia Liang listened to Chu Tian's plan, and there was a hint of excitement in his eyes: "I understand."

"The next step is to wait for the training of the navy battalion to complete, send Zhou Yafu to attack the villages and towns in Hedong, and at the same time control the villages and towns in Hedong and Hexi in the south of Kaiyang County."

As for the candidates to send troops to attack villages and towns, the first candidate Chutian considered was not Hua Mulan, but Zhou Yafu. Because Zhou Yafu was calm enough, even if he didn't win a big victory, Chutian didn't worry about a fiasco.

Mulan is sometimes impulsive.

Chutian returned to Xia Town and recruited a small group of Xiliu Ying infantry to supplement the losses of Xi Liu Ying in the last battle.

Using the captured warhorses, more than 200 light cavalrymen are being trained, a few of them are elite cavalry, and most of them are ordinary light cavalry.

Xia Town currently has 400 light cavalry, 500 Xiliu battalions, 500 Xuzhou archers, and 500 light infantry, about 2,000 people. In order to expand the army, Chutian recruited a team of Xuzhou archers and a team of third-tier Xuzhou light infantry, each with 500 people, and they were also training.

All are high-level arms unrealistic. The first is the question of whether to raise them or not, and the second is that there is not necessarily a qualified source of soldiers. Third, the elite means that the number is not large, which makes it difficult to achieve certain tactical goals.

To lay down important villages and towns on the other side, you must send troops to garrison, and soldiers must ensure the safety of the food transport team. During the battle, the various arms cooperate, support, reserve, and siege teams, all of which require troops and manpower.

Therefore, it is still necessary to have a group of cheap low-level arms as cannon fodder troops or auxiliary soldiers.

In the eyes of the lord, the soldiers are really like data, and they are really fighting. They only care about the numbers on paper. Decision makers will only see how many people are lost, how much supplies need to be supplied, and how much military pay is to be paid each month, without caring about the feelings of every soldier. Because there are too many soldiers.

"The borders of the civilized area are about to open!"

When Chutian was busy building Xia Town, someone in the guild mentioned the issue of the opening of the civilized area.

Chutian calculated the time a little. Now is April in the second year of the lord's calendar.

The initial time of the lord world is May of the first year, and the border of the civilized area is opened one year after the initial time.

In other words, the borders of the civilized area will be opened in one month.
