To tell you the truth, Sun Yi, deputy commander of the Corps, is in an awkward position.

Unlike the commander-in-chief, the deputy commander-in-chief can directly command the corps’ actions, nor can he carry out military operations according to the commander-in-chief’s orders like the lieutenant-in-chief of various armies.
Sun Yi, the vice-marshal, has almost no army to do at ordinary times. According to Su Yonglin’s instructions, he went to partner with Lin Jingchun to engage in logistics for the Corps.
That is, during the war, Sun Yike divided his troops and led the attack according to Su Yonglin’s order.
In this respect, Su Yonglin’s grasp is still very tight and he is not relaxed at all.
Sun Yicheng’s default attitude towards this is that he does not interfere, does not speak, and this is also a formal support for Su Yonglin.
After Su Yonglin cleaned up the opposition in the army and sent instructors to the SHEN WOO Army to master the SHEN WOO Army at the grassroots level, Sun Yi actually lost his influence on the SHEN WOO Army.
After that, what he said can no longer have any influence on the reorganized former SHEN WOO Army.
In this respect, Su Yonglin, although he should do a little, he should get more power. He was a little embarrassed and thought about handing over the post of water army to Sun Yi, so that Sun Yi could have something serious to do. Being busy with a formal position was also some compensation for him.
Moreover, in the future, Su Yonglin’s planning and requirements for the water army are still very high, whether it is a blow to the Southern Song Dynasty or a future sea expansion plan.
And this Chinese water army will naturally play an extremely important role.
Sun Yi was very happy when he learned that he was willing to take this position, but he also expressed concern.
"Although I’d like to, I don’t know much about water warfare and I don’t know if I can win."
Su Yonglin smiled.
"Don’t worry about this, I will arrange several departments to help you. They all follow me to smuggle salt. The old man has some experience in water warfare, and it shouldn’t be a problem to have their help."
"So good"
Sun Yi happily accepted this position and officially left the water army.
At the same time, Su Yonglin arranged for Kong Zhende, the old man of the Sujia salt smuggling group, and Sun Yi, the two lieutenants of Zhou Mancheng, to be responsible for Sun Yi’s assistance when he didn’t have the tactics of be adept at water army.
The temporary establishment of the water army is also to select 10,000 soldiers who are good at water and have experience in sailing, and more than 20 Su family veterans have retired from their army positions and transferred to serve as officers in the water army.
As far as manpower is concerned, the starting point of Su Yonglin Corps’ water army construction is still quite high. Most of them are experienced people, not inexperienced newcomers.
Personnel selection is going on here, and Zhou Mancheng is taking people to sail to the secret boat hiding place on the coast of Michigan and the island boat hiding place in Sujia old salt place.
These two places are hiding the wealth of the Su family’s salt smuggling era. Zhou Mancheng brought back 26 ships that the Su family used to smuggle salt and fight in the sea to fill the new water army and start a family.
Then Su Yonglin began to mobilize craftsmen and a large number of carpenters who had shipbuilding experience in the army, and ordered Lin Jingchun to allocate special funds to build warships.
At the same time, Su Yonglin conducted targeted intelligence exploration to make the intelligence forces hand him the construction scale and progress of the Jin Army Water Army at any time.
He needs to know the construction process and defense degree of the Jin army water army.
In mid-March, Su Yonglin learned through the infiltration and exploration of the intelligence forces that the scene of the large-scale warships on the coast of Daxing Prefecture in Jin State was very big, and there was a feeling of enthusiasm. A considerable number of ships of various types had been formed.
Yan Hongliang really has deep pockets. He built a water army as soon as possible and invested a lot of craftsmen and civilian workers.
The pile of raw wood is as high as the mountain, and the craftsman civilian worker camp can’t be seen as the eye can see.
Ships have been built, and sailors officers have led them to board the ship and began to practice water warfare. They are familiar with the water warfare mode and prepare for the coming war.
This is really a big scene.
Although the founding of the Golden Empire was not long, it was also the overlord of East Asia. Compared with Su Yonglin, it was too deep. The scale and scene of the construction of this water army were far from that of Su Yonglin.
According to a rough estimate, the total number of craftsmen, civilian workers and guards exceeds 30 thousand, and the main ones should be civilian workers and craftsmen.
What’s more interesting is that there is no patrol fleet, new sailors and sailors in this sea area of Jin Guo are all practicing near land, and the ship is not driven to further sea areas for training.
Moreover, the land defense is not strict, and there are almost no targeted screening lines for all kinds of people
The professional detectives of the intelligence forces easily mixed into the camp, made some important data of the camp department transparent, and left the internal and external personnel behind.
If Su Yonglin wants to sneak attack here, it will not be very difficult to destroy it, and it will not be greater than conquering Bazhou and Xiongzhou.
Of course, it is more difficult to further attack Zhongdu and give full play to the unified artistic ability of the Marine Corps.
Because a considerable number of 8 Jin j regular troops have gathered around Zhongdu, even if they succeed in the initial raid, their troops will react more quickly and may launch a counterattack.
After all, it is impossible that these troops can’t contribute to the capital Tianjiao.
After learning these news, Su Yonglin knew in his heart that it was not a problem to destroy 8 Jin Army, but it was quite difficult to further threaten China from the sea.
However, in order to destroy the 8 Jin Army, this water army will take over the whole sea area, that is, Su Yonglin’s water army swimming pool can gallop at will and land from wherever it wants.
The maneuverability is too strong.
So Su Yonglin made his shipbuilding team do their best to speed up the shipbuilding, and then repaired and rebuilt the reliable warships as soon as possible after the arrival of his 26 seagoing ships, and then immediately practiced.
Su Yonglin decided to give Wan Yanliang a big surprise.
In Xiongzhou and Bazhou, the feints continued, and all kinds of weapons were attacked one after another, and all the troops also took turns to array. Veterans took their recruits to the battlefield to feel the battlefield firsthand, and constantly honed the real battlefield for the recruits to exercise their battlefield endurance.
On the other hand, after 26 seagoing ships were finally brought back by Zhou Mancheng in March, Su Yonglin personally went to the seaside to watch these old guys.
Touching the hull, Su Yonglin remembered the wandering and fighting in these ships, and remembered his grandfather, father and those who were familiar with them.
Smugglers often engage in sea battles.
There are not many wars, and there are many skirmishes. Whenever there is any dispute, whoever has a big fist will be strong.
Dad Su Shengren is a vicious man who is gentle on the surface but good at water warfare and archery, which was carefully cultivated by his grandfather.
When my grandfather was old, Su Shengren dominated every battle at sea.
It can be said that Xiao was defeated, and Xiao Su Shengren died in the end. The fierce naval battle in Su Jia almost collapsed until Su Yonglin suddenly took over the family business.
Su Yonglin’s water war also followed Su Shengren’s study. When he was a teenager, Su Shengren took Su Yonglin with him to let him feel the fierceness, cruelty and uncertainty of the sea battle.
After each victory, Su Shengren will also take Su Yonglin to watch the postwar winners completely dominate the losers and tell him about their strength and despair.
It would be a shame if the Sujia team, which started as a smuggler, couldn’t take advantage of the naval battle against the jurchen who started as a fisherman and hunter.
Su Yonglin will never let this happen.
Chapter 26 He really admires this man
The boat looked at the sea and Su Yonglin was full of thoughts.
At this moment, those old guys around him are also feeling deeply.
Su Yong and Su Haisheng boarded the ship together and looked at the vast sea, telling the eventful years of that year.
"The first time I killed a man, it was this ship that shot an arrow and killed an asshole in the Wangs fleet. At that time, that bastard and I were shooting at each other. Just when a wave came over, I didn’t stabilize and he didn’t stabilize.
Maybe it’s God’s blessing that my arrow shot him, and he flew past my scalp and scared me to almost pee. "
"Don’t talk nonsense, you just urinated. At that time, I will urinate when you fall off the deck. Ha ha ha ha! I still remember that! "
"Bullshit! No way! Never peed before! "
"You just pee! I remember! I think it is true! "
Su Yong and Su Haisheng directly argued about the boat, while others watched the joke and fanned the flames, looking forward to seeing the two fight.
No, in the barracks and on the battlefield, they are always rude. Everyone is full of bad things and wants to make each other suffer, while they gloat.
Su Yonglin also rarely relaxed and looked at Xin Qiji around him jokingly and asked, "Youan, how do you feel about being with a group of rude smugglers day and night?"
Xin Qiji laughed when he knew Su Yonglin was joking.
"Su Shuai joking smuggler or sweet family or now are not all comrades? It doesn’t matter if you are born, what matters is whether you are like-minded and can come together to fight side by side. This is the most important thing. "
