Chapter 287 Su Yonglin decides to give Wanyanliang a big surprise
Since a military-level unit is to be built, in addition to the allocation of various materials and personnel, the most important thing must be the selection of the general.

If the generals are selected, then the next things can make the generals worry a lot.

Su Yonglin had some thoughts on this.

He called Sun Ziyi over and discussed with Sun Ziyi, expressing his hope that Sun Ziyi would serve as the general of the navy, lead the navy, and directly command the navy's expedition.

Because to be honest, as the deputy commander of the Corps, Sun Ziyi's situation is actually quite embarrassing.

The deputy commander is not like the commander who can directly direct the actions of the corps, nor can he execute military operations according to the command of the commander like the deputy generals of the army.

Sun Ziyi, the deputy commander, had almost no military affairs to do at ordinary times. According to Su Yonglin's instructions, he went to be a partner with Lin Jingchun and went to do the logistics of the Corps.

In other words, during the war, Sun Ziyi could divide his troops to lead the attack according to Su Yonglin's order.

In this regard, Su Yonglin's grasp of power is still very tight, not slack at all.

Sun Ziyi held a tacit attitude towards this throughout the whole process, not intervening, not starting, not speaking, which was also an invisible support for Su Yonglin.

After Su Yonglin cleaned up the opposition in the army, sent the instructors to the Shenwu Army, and mastered the Shenwu Army from the grassroots level, Sun Ziyi effectively lost his influence on the Shenwu Army.

What he said after that could no longer have any impact on the reorganized Yuanshen Wujun.

In this regard, although Su Yonglin should not do less at all, nor should he obtain less power, but he was a little embarrassed, so he thought of handing over the position of general of the navy army to Sun Ziyi, so that Sun Ziyi would Some serious things can be done, and a formal position can be busy, which can be regarded as some compensation for him.

Moreover, in the future, Su Yonglin's plans and requirements for the navy are still very high, whether it is the attack on the Southern Song Dynasty or the future sea expansion plan, it is all in his plan.

Among them, the navy will naturally play an extremely important role.

Sun Ziyi was very happy when he learned that, and expressed his willingness to assume this position, but he also expressed concern.

"Although I would like to, but I don't know much about water warfare, and I don't know if I can be competent."

Su Yonglin smiled.

"You don't have to worry about this. I will arrange a few subordinates to help you. They are all old people who follow me to sell smuggled salt. They have some experience in water combat. With their help, it should not be a problem."

"So good."

Sun Ziyi happily took over this position and officially served as the navy commander.

At the same time, Su Yonglin arranged for Kong Zhende and Zhou Mancheng, the old men of the Su Family Salt Trader Group, to serve as Sun Ziyi's two lieutenants, responsible for assisting Sun Ziyi when he was not proficient in naval tactics.

The provisional establishment of the navy is also set at 1 people. Soldiers with good water skills and experience in sailing and sailing are selected from each army. There are also more than 20 veterans of the Su family who have withdrawn from their army positions and transferred to sailors. Served as an officer in the army.

Therefore, in terms of manpower, the starting point of Su Yonglin Corps' naval construction is still quite high, at least they are all experienced people, not inexperienced newcomers just messing around.

The selection of personnel is going on here, and there Zhou Mancheng leads people to set sail again to the secret hidden boat on the coast of Mizhou and the hidden boat on the island where the old salt farm of the Su family is located.

These two places hide the wealth of the Su family's private salt dealer era. Zhou Mancheng's mission is to bring back the 26 ships that the Su family used to smuggle salt at sea and fight at sea, and use them as the foundation for the new navy.

Then Su Yonglin began to mobilize craftsmen with shipbuilding experience and a large number of carpenters in the army, and ordered Lin Jingchun to allocate funds specifically for the construction of warships.

At the same time, Su Yonglin conducted a targeted intelligence investigation and ordered the intelligence unit to convey to him the construction scale and progress of the Jinjun Navy and surrounding defenses at any time.

He needs to know the construction process and defense level of the Jinjun Navy.

In mid-March, Su Yonglin learned through the infiltration and exploration of the intelligence forces that Jin Guo was building a large warship on the coast of Daxingfu.

Wanyanliang is indeed rich and powerful. In order to build a naval army as soon as possible, he invested a lot of craftsmen and people, and invested a lot of money.

The piles of raw wood are as high as the mountains, and the camps of artisans and people cannot be seen at a glance.

The ships that have been built are launched one after another, and the sailors board the ship under the leadership of the officers, and begin to practice water warfare, familiarize themselves with the water warfare mode, and prepare for the next war.

This is indeed a big scene.

Although the Jin Empire was not founded for a long time, it is still the hegemon of East Asia in the end. Compared with Su Yonglin, the background is too deep, so the scale and scene of this naval construction are far from Su Yonglin's comparison.

According to a rough estimate, the total number of various types of craftsmen, miners and guards exceeds [-], of which the main ones should be miners and craftsmen, and the rest are guards.

What is more interesting is that Jin Guo did not arrange a patrol fleet in this sea area. The new sailors practiced near the land, and did not drive the ships to further sea areas for training.

Moreover, the defense on land is not strict, and there is almost no targeted screening behavior for all kinds of people.

Therefore, the professional spies of the intelligence force easily mixed into the camp to get a thorough understanding of the internal structure of the camp and some more important data, and also left the personnel who should cooperate with the inside and outside.

If Su Yonglin wanted to sneak attack here and destroy it, it would not be very difficult, at least not more difficult than conquering Bazhou and Xiongzhou.

Of course, if you want to further attack Zhongdu and play the traditional skills of the Marine Corps, it will be more difficult.

Because a considerable number of regular Jinjun troops have gathered around the central capital, even if the raid is successful at first, other troops will react relatively quickly, and may even launch a counterattack.

After all, it is the capital, at the foot of the emperor, it is impossible for these troops to think of nothing.

After Su Yonglin heard the news, he knew that it would not be a problem to destroy the Jin Army's unformed navy, but it would be quite difficult to go further from the threat of the sea.

However, as long as the Jin Army is eliminated, the entire sea area will be the swimming pool of Su Yonglin's navy.

The maneuverability is too strong.

So Su Yonglin ordered his shipbuilding team to do everything possible to speed up the shipbuilding, and then waited for the 26 sea-going ships of his own to arrive, repair them as soon as possible, transform them into reliable warships, and then start the drill immediately.

Su Yonglin decided to give Wanyanliang a big surprise.

On the other side of Xiongzhou and Bazhou, the feint attack continued. Various types of offensive weapons were launched one after another, and various troops also took turns to go into battle. Veterans brought new recruits to the battlefield, experienced the battlefield personally, and constantly used the real battlefield to temper the recruits. Exercise their endurance in the battlefield.

On the other hand, in late March, after the 26 ships were finally brought back by Zhou Mancheng, Su Yonglin went to the beach to watch these old guys in person.

Stroking the hull of the boat, Su Yonglin recalled the past of wandering and fighting at sea on these ships, and the past of his grandfather, father and those familiar people fighting at sea.

The smugglers often fought at sea.

There are not many big battles, and many small battles, but whenever there is any dispute, basically whoever has the bigger fist is stronger.

Father Su Shengren is a ruthless man who is good-natured on the surface, but is actually good at water warfare and archery. He was carefully cultivated by his grandfather.

After my grandfather was old, Su Shengren led all the battles at sea.

It can only be said that the success is also the defeat, and the Su Shengren finally died in the fierce naval battle. The Su family almost collapsed because of this, until Su Yonglin suddenly took over the family business.

Su Yonglin's water warfare skills were also learned from behind Su Shengren. When he was a teenager, Su Shengren took Su Yonglin by his side for several naval battles, making him feel the intensity and cruelty of naval battles, as well as uncertainty.

After each victory, Su Shengren would also take Su Yonglin to watch the complete domination of the winner over the loser after the war, telling him the power of the winner and the despair of the loser.

It would be a shame if the Su family's team, which started as a private salt dealer, could not gain an advantage in naval battles, and it would be a shame to deal with the Jurchen, who started as a fishing and hunting.

This kind of thing, Su Yonglin will never let it happen.
