Chapter 278 On August 8, the military parade begins
The rapid development of the Great Qin Navy made Wang Jian, the Tai Wei, laugh from ear to ear.
"Compared with the army, the navy has higher technical requirements, so the cultural education of fleet officers and soldiers must not be left behind!
Ying Yu smiled and said: "We can consider building a small library on each battleship, and hold some professional skill competitions regularly.
Soldiers who perform well in the competition can be included in the merit list and have the priority to be promoted.
In this way, there is no need to worry about the soldiers having no motivation to learn. "
"What His Royal Highness said is true, the old minister will immediately arrange someone to do it when he returns!"
Wang Jian nodded repeatedly.
With the continuous improvement of shipbuilding capabilities, the biggest factor preventing the expansion of the Great Qin Navy is no longer ships, but soldiers who are qualified to control warships.
The importance of talents has been fully reflected in repeated ocean training.
Therefore, it is extremely necessary to improve the cultural level.
Moreover, the sea is vast, and the sailors actually have a lot of time to study when they are performing non-combat tasks.
The competitions, competitions and other activities proposed by Ying Yu are the best way to strengthen the learning of professional skills.
"Besides, the number of battleships is one aspect to allow the fleet to get supplies in time on the sea and maintain the strongest combat effectiveness at all times. The ports and fortresses along the way are also very important."
Ying Yu pondered for a moment and said.
When he led the fleet to expedition to Fusang before, he had personally experienced it.
On the sea, the most uncomfortable thing is actually the long-term boring.
Now Daqin is still in the age of sailing, even the treasure ship under construction, the speed is at most [-] knots under the best wind conditions.
When the wind is headwind, it is very good to be able to maintain a speed of seven or eight knots.
Starting from Daqin mainland, it takes about six or seven days to go to Fusang Island, half a month to Tianzhu Port, and about a month to reach Persian County.
Such a long voyage is a test in itself for the soldiers, and it is also very difficult to replenish.
Many naval officers and soldiers are already tired of eating dried meat, salted fish and other dry food.
Even though soybeans can be used to grow some bean sprouts, fresh water is more precious.
Therefore, it is particularly important to build some midway supply ports on the only way of the route.
These ports can not only replenish the fleet on a regular basis, but also allow fleet officers and men to disembark and take turns to move on land when they are docked at the port, which is also a great boost to morale.
The construction of ports and fortresses seems to require a lot of investment in the early stage, but these port fortresses can not only be used by the fleet, but also open to the outside world for replenishment by merchant ships.
For these merchant ships, in order to transport more cargo, the space on board is much worse than that of warships, and the crew's self-sufficiency is also worse.
The existence of midway supply stations can make these merchant ships go further and further.
It is also possible to recover the construction costs of ports and fortresses in a short period of time.
As long as you persist in this way, it doesn't take a few years, and the key islands on the entire sea will be covered with the footprints of Daqin ships.
And these ports and fortresses will gradually develop into cities, driving the people of Daqin to emigrate, so that the soldiers of the Daqin Fleet and the people can experience the feeling of home in these places, so that Daqin can truly realize the change from land to sea.
Compared with the island nations in later generations that focused on the development of the navy, the people of Daqin still lacked the concept of the sea even after Ying Yu continued to guide them.
But now Ying Yu is simply driven by profit, so that Daqin's great voyage can go faster and farther.
"The foresight of His Royal Highness is beyond the reach of the veteran!"
After carefully listening to Ying Yu's explanation, Wang Jian showed admiration on his face.
"Don't be polite to me."
"By the way, the old general didn't come here today just to talk about the expansion of the fleet, did he?"
Ying Yu smiled and waved his hands.
"I made His Highness laugh. The old minister came here this time because he wanted to ask His Highness the Crown Prince about the preparations for this military parade!"
Wang Jian quickly replied.
"As for the training of the military parade, I have already sorted out the plan, and the old general can discuss it together."
After finishing speaking, Ying Yu took out a booklet from the drawer and handed it to Wang Jian.
Wang Jian hurriedly flipped through the pages, and after just a few glances, the admiration on his face suddenly became stronger.
As expected of His Royal Highness, a military parade can have so many ideas.
Whether it's the new military uniform, or the neat queue and slogans, it's amazing.
And it can better reflect the might and combat effectiveness of my Daqin soldiers.
The more Wang Jian looked at it, the more shocked he was.
If this military parade plan can be completed, it will definitely leave a strong mark in the annals of history.
......
In the 39th year of the First Emperor, August [-]st.
On the gate tower of the main gate of Xianyang Palace, at this moment, there are officials of all sizes from the Great Qin Dynasty, as well as representatives of meritorious soldiers who were specially invited to come.
In front of the city tower, the expanded square was even more crowded with people who rushed to occupy their seats overnight.
At a rough glance, there are more than [-].
And this is just a small part of the audience who came to watch the military parade today.
The entire Chengyang City, all the roads that must be passed by the troops to be paraded, have already been surrounded by people three times inside and outside, and there are at least a million people in total!
All the people who came to watch the military parade were all dressed up and excitedly waiting for the start of the event.
"His Royal Highness, there is still a quarter of an hour before the sun will rise."
One of the Sangong Jiuqing, Feng Chang, who was in charge of the sacrificial etiquette of the ancestral temple, reported in a low voice.
As Tai Shi, who is responsible for observing the astrology and the royal historian, his palms are even more sweaty due to nervousness.
This is a grand event that the whole world pays attention to. If there is a deviation in the time estimate, even if his Taishi is killed, he will not be enough to apologize.
"His Royal Highness, the subordinate has already calculated, and there will be no error in time."
Li Chunfeng on the side reminded him calmly.
Ying Yu nodded slightly, then looked in the direction of the sunrise.
"Thank you, Li Xianshi!"
Feng Chang and Tai Shiguan hurriedly saluted Li Chunfeng, and the tension on their faces eased a little.
Seeing Zhang Han approaching, Ying Yu smiled and said:
"The national flag class and the military band are already in place?"
"His Royal Highness, please rest assured, the general has just personally inspected, the national flag class and the military band are all ready, and the soldiers are in very good condition.
The reserve team is also in place and can be filled at any time. "
Zhang Han replied quickly.
"Very good, the prince is waiting for your wonderful appearance!"
Ying Yu smiled slightly.
"Prince, what are you trying to sell, you should tell me now, right?"
Before Ying Zhengren arrived, the voice came first.
When he came to Ying Yu's side, he asked curiously:
"This new military uniform is very good, it fully reflects the majestic image of my Daqin soldiers, very good!"
