"Zhang Guangzhe, let the soldiers of the Royal North Sea Fleet start to prepare for the expedition."

After discussing some developments of shipyards and fleets with this whispered king, Zhu Youxiao immediately ordered Zhang Guangzhe.

He thought about it just now and thought it would be better to control Sakhalin Island and Vladivostok Port as soon as possible, so as not to get too busy soon after, because of too many things.

I solved this matter first, and fortunately two months later, I led the Royal Navy to go to Jiangnan to play with foreigners from various Western countries, and suppress their arrogance.

Although there are still only six leopard cruisers in the North Sea Fleet, because the soldiers of the North Sea Fleet often go out to sea to rob, some ships have been added.

It was enough to add the original Tianjin Navy and various warships and transport ships seized from the Goguryeo Navy to form a large fleet for an expedition.

"Three days later, we set out immediately, first build a permanent naval base, then go north immediately, capture the enclave of Sakhalin Island in the northeast, develop and utilize it as soon as possible, and build a permanent naval base."

"Then we advanced from the northern part of Sakhalin Island along the Heilongjiang estuary, clearing and controlling all the 100-mile areas along the coast of the Heilongjiang River and the Ussuri River Basin."

Zhu Youxiao's face turned solemn and gave an order.

"Three days later? Go to the expedition to Sakhalin Island?"

When Zhang Guangzhe suddenly heard the good news, he was still a little unbelievable.

He had been idle for a long time and was a little frustrated. He took his soldiers all day long, in addition to studying and training, to work as pirates in nearby waters and robbed any maritime merchants who came to the Liaodong Peninsula and the Goguryeo Peninsula.

Also, at most, it is also to capture some pirate bases, making small fuss, which is not satisfying.

He knew that a powerful navy would not be able to train alone. Not only would it have to go through various large and large naval battles, but it also needed to conduct long-distance training to build a truly powerful imperial navy.

Now, as soon as His Majesty the Emperor arrived, he actually had a long voyage mission.

When they expeditioned to Sakhalin Island, they advanced into Heilongjiang and Ussuri River, they not only allowed them to conduct long-distance training, but also allowed them to fight continuously. There were countless barbarian tribes living in the vast sea and land area.

After leaving the shipyard, Zhu Youxiao, accompanied by Zhang Guangzhe and others, came to the naval base.

Compared with the busyness of the shipyard, the atmosphere here is not much inferior, and it is even more lively than there.

After two months of going out to sea to rob, and the annexation of the original watercraft ships in Goguryeo, the North Sea Fleet suddenly increased.

The original six leopard cruisers, plus hundreds of various transport ships and old warships, now the North Sea Fleet Navy has hundreds of ships of all sizes.

Of course, except for the six Leopard cruisers, other large and small ships are not very suitable for the needs of the North Sea Fleet in terms of design and performance.

Therefore, a considerable number of the old-style ships have been transformed into transport ships, and there are less than a hundred other types of warships that have actually joined the North Sea Fleet to serve.

Moreover, Zhu Youxiao is also preparing to separate merchant ships and professional warships, and cannot be used in a mixed manner.

Therefore, in the future, most of the less than a hundred ships of various types will be used as training ships.

The real naval battle will be served by more professional, all-purpose leopard cruisers and a series of improved warships that will follow.

There are nearly a hundred large and small warships lined up in the Lushun Port now. Because the miscellaneous old warships are not big, this huge port seems empty.

Zhu Youxiao inspected the game and said casually: "What is the training level of the soldiers of the North Sea Fleet now?"

Zhang Guangzhe said cautiously from the side: "The basic skills are quite solid."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "That's good."

In December last year, Xiao Xuanzi led a garrison army to disarm the original Tianjin Navy and reorganize the original Tianjin Navy, and then brought the carefully selected original naval soldiers to this Lushun Port Naval Base.

Therefore, the North Sea Fleet was formed by half of the original Tianjin Navy elites, and then recruiting young fishermen in the northern part of the Ming Empire and Liaodong.

The original Tianjin naval soldiers studied and trained with the newly recruited 70,000 to 80,000 naval cadets, and were familiar with the operation of new warships.

There is no way, although it is undeniable that the original Tianjin naval soldiers who were carefully selected have some skills.

However, most of them have not participated in any large-scale naval battles, nor have they conducted systematic naval training. Of course, they have to be rebuilt and pass the score test before they can enter the Royal North Sea Fleet to serve.

At the same time, we also look at their abilities, mainly to see if their basic skills are really solid enough.

If proven to be feasible, it can be used to lead the new from the old and train the navy's new soldiers.

Zhu Youxiao specifically explained that the sailors, generals, etc. of the Ming Navy were admitted that they must be accepted after evaluating their technical level. Ziwei

There were too many people who were scrambling to live in the original Tianjin Navy.

At least half of the navy officers and soldiers did not have real skills.

The naval fleet of the Ming Dynasty Royal Family should not be a waste of time.

If you do not have solid basic skills, or have not consolidated your talent and efforts in basic skills, it will be useless to say anything, and will lead the new soldiers.

Zhu Youxiao came to the shore, raised the telescope handed over by Zhang Guangzhe, and carefully searched the sea.

Soon, he discovered that there were a large number of naval soldiers conducting various trainings on the sea surface of Lushun Port.

These navy soldiers performed well, and were meticulous in their training, and looked concise.

Some of the naval generals at all levels are working on the boat with the rookies of the North Sea Fleet.

Most of their roles are captains, responsible for commanding the entire ship.

Some are also the role of the first mate, who is the key member on the deck, responsible for coordinating and coordinating all sailors.

Some officers pretend to be sail operators and are busy on the mast.

"His Majesty."

Zhang Guangfu, the commander of the Royal Navy's First Division, strode over. After the monarch and ministers greeted him, he reported the training of the navy to Zhu Youxiao.

Nearly a month ago, after the Beihai Fleet cooperated with the army to capture Goguryeo, the staff of the Beihai Fleet often organized soldiers to train back and forth from the Liaodong Peninsula and the Goguryeo Peninsula.

The soldiers continued to carry out various training subjects in the sea between the two places, consolidating the basic skills of the naval soldiers of the North Sea Fleet.

Now, Zhang Li, the commander of the Second Division of the Beihai Fleet, is in charge of command at Incheon Port in Goguryeo.

With everyone's concerted efforts, almost a month passed in a blink of an eye, and the basic skills of the soldiers of the North Sea Fleet have been greatly improved.

Zhu Youxiao continued to ask: "How is the ideological education situation of the navy soldiers and the cultural education situation?"

Zhang Guangfu answered cautiously: "Very good! Everyone knows at least a thousand words now. Under the publicity and education of the General Staff, the soldiers have a high ideological awareness and are all competing to be captains!"

Zhu Youxiao nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "If there is competition, there is motivation! Let them compete fully! We must fully promote competition and take full advantage of the competition!"

"Our Ming Royal Navy has always focused on being talented and useful!"

Zhu Youxiao once again emphasized this fundamental principle of selecting talents, "Theoretical courses and technical courses must be fully competitive! Whoever has good grades will be the future captain!"

Zhang Guangzhe, who was standing beside him, naturally agreed. He hesitated for a moment and said tactfully: "Your Majesty, some of the soldiers below reported that it was a cultural course, which was a bit difficult..."

Zhu Youzhao's face changed and he said coldly: "It's not difficult, how can we produce talents? Anyway, all soldiers who can't pass the primary cultural assessment will be fired!"

"Our Royal Navy of Ming Dynasty is a navy that is traversing all over the world. Without culture, you can't even understand maps and intelligence. Why do you have to be a navy? Why do you want to win a battle?"

"Now the salary and benefits of the naval soldiers of the Ming Empire are so good, I don't believe that among so many imperial people, there are only a few hundred thousand naval soldiers who can't come out!"

He strengthened his tone and made a decision on the matter.

"I am better than anyone else in the importance of the Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty. Cultural courses and ideological education must be vigorously promoted!"

"If you can't pass, you will definitely be fired from the Royal Navy and will not give in at all.

According to Zhu Youxiao's intention, everyone who wants to be the captain must first officially become a qualified navy soldier.

Then, pass the assessment and receive formal theoretical education.

In short, you must understand all kinds of basic knowledge about navigation and understand it so that you have the chance to become a captain.

Therefore, those new recruits who study hard have great advantages in this regard.

In the future, the captains of the warships will basically be their world.

Sorry, if you don’t want to study or be motivated, you’ll still come back wherever you come from.
