Hearing that His Highness of the King of Qin will come to Jiangnan in the near future, Wang Zongxi and Bai Yuanzhong were both surprised and happy. Since the news of the great victory of Yunzhong and the great victory in Qinghe, the two have already understood that the establishment of a new dynasty and a new empire is inevitable. After the military force on which the Situ family relies for survival suffered this devastating blow, they no longer have the ability to stop His Highness of the King of Qin from competing for the country. The new dynasty is about to be established, but His Highness of the King of Qin is going to inspect Jiang in the near future.

South is enough to value Jiangnan. No matter which aspect, as long as His Highness King Qin can go to Jiangnan to Yuhang, their political achievements as local officials will naturally appear in front of the King Qin Palace. This is a rare opportunity. The other party revealed this news to them to remind them that they should step up their work in the near future. For a moment, Wang Zongxi and Bai Yuanzhong suddenly felt that the Director of Military Affairs did not seem to be as annoying as before.

"Mr. Ling, the military and political affairs are not separated. Moreover, since he is trusted by His Highness the King of Qin, this reconstruction of the Great East Ocean Navy is probably not something that can be achieved in a day or two. The Japanese still occupy our coastal islands, and they will never allow our navy to rebuild. Once the Yuhang military port is reopened and rebuilt, they will inevitably face their threats and even attacks. This must be prevented." Wang Zongxi was surprised and did not forget to respond to the questions raised by the other party, "Even if the reconstruction project is fully launched in Quanzhou, it is probably a surprise that it will also attract Japanese attacks."

Nodded, Ling Tianfang of course also considered this issue. The Japanese finally gained maritime hegemony in the central and northern parts of the Great East Ocean. They did not easily let a maritime force that could challenge or even overwhelm them appear. Killing it in its bud is the best way, and this is also a problem that has always troubled him. The Milan Navy is enough to compete with the Japanese, but His Highness of the Qin King is unwilling to return the Huludao Military Port, let alone let the Milan Navy enter Yuhang and Quanzhou. If that is true, then the rebuilt Great East Ocean Navy will have no secrets for the Milanese people, and it is not in their own interests.

"Mr. Ling, I heard that Mr. Lei is actively expanding the navy in the south of the South China Sea? If the established Nanyang Navy can be moved to the East China Sea, we just need to seize the time to clean up, repair and open the Yuhang Military Port, and add some subordinate ships. If not, it will be difficult to reorganize such a huge navy in a short period of time." Bai Yuanzhong's tone also became much closer.

"The Nanyang Navy has their own tasks. They can help the reconstruction of the Nanyang Navy, but we are unlikely to have too much hope for them. If we want to rebuild the Nanyang Navy, we have to rely on ourselves." Ling Tianfang shook his head, "What's more, the Nanyang Navy is also in a state of reconstruction. The navy left by the East Peninsula Alliance at that time was pitifully weak. Except for some small and medium-sized ships, the only one that can provide the Nanyang Navy is some sailors. The others are still starting from scratch, especially without a large military ship. This is still too far away to realize His Highness the strategic intention of the Nanyang King in Nanyang."

Wang Zongxi and Bai Yuanzhong couldn't help but frown. It seemed that the main purpose of the Military Affairs Director came to Jiangnan this time was to build a naval construction issue. However, Jiangnan had just experienced a war. Before this, Situ Tai's rule had greatly damaged the economic vitality of Jiangnan. If the Jiangnan region wanted to support naval construction, the two of them had no idea.

"Mr. Ling, I don't know if you have any better ideas in this situation? If we need the help and support of our Jiangnan County and Yuhang Prefecture, Yuan Chong and I will definitely do our best." Wang Zongxi didn't want to continue to get involved in this issue. If the navy can be established quickly, it will of course be the first contribution to the stability of the entire Jiangnan sea defense, and it will also play a very important role in the stability of the entire Jiangnan social security, and local governments should also provide full support.

"Zong Xi, it depends on your efforts and Yuan Chongda. I think it turns out that although the Imperial Navy has been defeated and dispersed, the main loss is the infrastructure of ships, which does not require local governments to worry about. The Military Affairs Office has obtained enough funds to rebuild the Dadongyang Navy. Hasn't the Jiangnan Shipyard been reorganized and integrated? The Military Affairs Office will also vigorously support the Jiangnan Shipyard and give it enough orders. It is estimated that in the first half of next year, there should be three to five large military ships under the Jiangnan Shipyard.

Water, in addition, we have also ordered some ships from the Jutland Kingdom of the Central Continent and the Western Continent, and it is estimated that the goods will be delivered in the second half of next year. Some of this was originally equipped for the Nanyang Navy, but given that the reconstruction of the Dongyang Navy is also imminent, the Military Affairs Bureau and the Navy coordinated and will extract some orders to ensure the reconstruction of the Dongyang Navy first. Small and medium-sized ships will be purchased mainly from the Jiangnan Shipyard and the Southeast Shipyard in Quanzhou. This should be said to be an opportunity for the Jiangnan shipbuilding industry."

"I hope now that your local governments can first fully repair and open up all bases of the original Imperial Navy. For example, Yuhang Military Port, Quanzhou Military Port, Songjiang Zhuangyuanao Military Port, Huludao Military Port, these military ports, docks, and docks must be repaired and maintained immediately to make initial preparations for the reconstruction of the Great East Ocean Navy. In addition, as far as I know, after the Imperial Navy collapsed, a large number of experienced sailors and ground crews were scattered among the people. I hope you can do everything possible to recruit these people again, so that we can obtain a large number of experienced naval personnel and avoid us from training naval personnel from scratch. At the same time, in order to strengthen the protection of the military port and naval marina, the Great East Ocean Navy will follow some practices of the Western Continent and form a naval landing combat force. It is expected that the Great East Ocean Navy will also have a division organization, and personnel will mainly be selected and recruited from young and strong men who are good at water on the coast."

Hearing Ling Tian’s remarks that the Navy’s large number of orders will be handed over to the Jiangnan Shipyard and the Southeast Shipyard, Wang Zongxi and Bai Yuanzhong were both happy. This was a huge boost to promote the Jiangnan shipbuilding industry, which has suffered heavy losses and gradually lag behind Milan and Japanese. Just building a new Dadongyang Navy fleet is a dozen large ships. This order alone is enough for the two shipyards to spend several years without worrying about it. There are dozens or hundreds of medium-sized ships and countless small auxiliary ships. Such a large procurement plan is enough to set off a hurricane in the Jiangnan shipbuilding industry and even the entire Xijiang control area.

When he heard Ling Tianfang ask the local government to act quickly to recruit former imperial naval personnel and form naval landing combat troops, Wang Zongxi and Bai Yuanzhong couldn't help but exchange glances again. This time, His Highness the King of Qin and the Military Affairs Office were going to take serious action. Not only did they want to restore the original scale of the imperial naval army, it seemed that they really wanted to expand their naval power. This naval landing combat troops were obviously targeted by Baodao, Kamchaka Island and Ryukyu Islands. The Tang people were not as good as the Japanese. A considerable number of Japanese people have fished for generations. It can be said that the entire nation was half floating in the water, and the Tang Hemins

The tribe is born a mainland nation. Even though they live on the seaside and have experienced the maritime ban policy during the founding era of the Tanghe Empire, the number of people who make a living by fishing in the coastal areas is already very small. Except for the untouchables, almost no people are willing to make a living by changing the ocean three times a day. As for the merchants, it is because of the rich profits of marine trade. But even so, there are very few Tanghe merchants who started their own long-sea trade, which is far inferior to Japanese land and Milan, Mahad and Andako. The merchants who operate the shipping industry in the South China Ocean Alliance almost monopolized most of the South China Ocean.

Although it is a bit troublesome to select men who are proficient in water from the coastal prefectures of the south of the Yangtze River, it is not a difficult task. After all, the three prefectures are in the sea. Besides, the Tang people do not like to go into the sea, but after all, so many people on the coast require life, they can still recruit enough strong young people. It is still difficult to recruit those personnel of the original Imperial Navy. Many people disappeared after the complete collapse of the Imperial Navy. Now they are going to recruit again. Some people are willing to come back, and some people are afraid that they have changed their careers and engage in other ways. The consequences of the Imperial Navy have also broken them. It will be difficult to get them back. But since the Shangfeng has decided to do what they have to do, no matter how difficult or hard it is, they have to do it. Otherwise, what is the significance and value of these local officials?

When Ling Tianfang represented the Xijiang regime, Wang Zongxi and Bai Yuanzhong attended the completion ceremony of the new dock of Jiangnan Shipyard, the orders for three large military ships and five medium-sized military ships were officially issued to the boss of Jiangnan Shipyard, Wen Fei, an important figure in the Jiangnan Wen family. He made strict requirements on the technical requirements and various specifications of military ships, and required the first large military ship to be delivered to the navy for use by March next year. The other two also required that they must be delivered to the other five medium-sized ships before August next year. Of course, after the ceremony, Ling Tianfang met with the head of the Wen family, the Cultural Revolution and the head of Jiangnan Shipyard, Wen Fei, and made some specific arrangements for the requirements of His Highness Qin. In addition to taking necessary measures to ensure the technical requirements, Xijiang will also provide Jiangnan Shipyard with shipbuilding technology obtained from various channels to enhance the competitiveness of Jiangnan Shipyard.
