Chapter 792: Inspecting the Dock
To the north of the Shuanghe Dockyard is adjacent to Jiang Qin's Raging Wave Camp Water Village. There is also a garrison of 2,000 people in the dock responsible for defense. Around the dock wall, Jiang Qin also had a three- to four-foot-wide tunnel dug. The moat leads directly to the sea, drawing seawater into the moat.
As soon as they entered the dock, they were immediately greeted by the captain in charge of the dock's defense and the head craftsman who managed the dock.
Shuanghe City has a total of one school of garrison troops, of which 3,000 guard the county seat and 2,000 guard the dock. This does not include the garrison of Jiang Qin's water village.
The head craftsman in charge of the shipyard is one of the two master shipwrights. His name is Xie Laoer. He was the earliest senior shipwright in Sizhou. After he was upgraded to the master level, Huangfu Chaobo immediately asked him to learn the third floor. ship, and then appointed him superintendent of the Shuanghe Dockyard.
After entering the dock, Xie Laoer led everyone towards the dock. While walking, he also introduced the details of the dock to Huangfu Chaobo.
Shuanghe Dockyard covers an area of dozens of acres and is divided into several areas. There are two gates in the north and south of the dock. Next to the first gate, there is a military camp with a thousand soldiers stationed next to it. Entering next to the military camp is a huge square with piles of various types of wood placed on it.
These timbers are usually just transported. They are first sorted into categories in the square, and then their uses are determined according to their size and shape. After being determined, they are placed in different warehouses according to categories and allowed to dry naturally. After reaching a certain level, take it out and use it.
Ever since he was reminded by several master craftsmen in Changshe, Huangfu Chaobo has been continuously collecting various high-quality woods, and after occupying Longhua, he collected even more. Therefore, there is currently a large amount of wood that has met the requirements in Antonjun's warehouse, and the craftsmen only need to select according to their own requirements.
Even so, Huangfu Chaobo ordered various places to continue to collect various high-quality wood, and then sent them all to Shuanghe Dockyard for storage, so there were mountains of wood piled on the square that Huangfu Chaobo and his party saw.
Surrounding the square are rows of warehouses, which are used to store various types of wood and other materials.
The square and warehouses occupy almost half of the entire dock. Passing through the middle of the warehouse and heading towards the east sea, you will find a workshop, which is the shipbuilding workshop.
At present, the shipyards in the entire game are basically dry docks. Shuanghe Shipyard currently has five large-scale shipyards, and twenty medium-sized shipyards for Douship and Chima. There are also large vacant workshops next to these shipyards. Once there are sufficient personnel, it can increase the number of shipyards for large and small ships by two. More than twice as much.
As for the production of other small ships, Huangfu Chaobo assigned them to other large and medium-sized shipyards under the rule of the Anton Army. There are even many ships purchased directly from the player's territory. Shuanghe Shipyard is only used to make large ships for the navy. Medium-sized ship.
In today's games, many player territories near water have developed shipbuilding industries, especially along the Yangtze River. For example, when the imperial army was able to cross the sea to attack Liaodong, it was because he sent people to purchase a large number of ships from Jiangdong and transported several ships at once. Thousands of soldiers and horses were sent to Liaodong.
For example, Huangfu Chaobo purchases small and medium-sized ships and civilian merchant ships from player territories, which also promotes the entire economy under the rule of the Anton Army.
Walking into a building ship dock, Huangfu Chaobo saw a building ship being made on the slipway. The huge keel has all been set up, and the bottom frame of the ship has also been installed. There are a large number of ship boards neatly stacked there, ready to be installed one by one.
Now in the shipyard, Xie Laoer and Lao Qitou, the master shipwright from Jizhou, each lead a team of craftsmen to make and produce building ships. They each lead nearly thirty shipwrights of all levels and several Hundreds of helpers are working.
Xie Laoer has just been upgraded and has not as much experience as Lao Qitou, so his speed is far inferior to Lao Qitou. He can only make more than one building ship in a year, while Lao Qitou is an old shipwright in Jizhou. ,
Therefore, more than two ships can be produced in a year.
However, because Xie Laoer was an old man who worked under Huangfu Chaobo, and he was relatively smooth, he took the position of the person in charge of Shuanghe Dockyard.
After coming out of Xie Laoer's dock, Huangfu Chaobo went to the dock where Lao Qitou was responsible. Here, a building ship had already entered the final stage of production. It is estimated that it will be launched in a few months.
Huangfu Chaobo encouraged and appeased Lao Qi, asking him to work seriously and take more apprentices. He had prepared a four-bedroom mansion for him in Chang'an. At the same time, he promised that when the time is right, he will definitely be under Anton Jun's rule. A second large shipyard will be built, and he will be asked to manage the new shipyard. This honest and honest old craftsman was very grateful, and then Huangfu Chaobo led everyone to leave the shipyard.
After everyone looked around other places in the dock, Huangfu Chaobo left the dock and returned to Shuanghe City.
After resting for two days in Shuanghe City, Huangfu Chaobo handed over the preparations for going south to Jiang Qin, and he led the troops of the Guards Battalion to inspect the situation in Qingzhou.
It can be said that this is the first time Huangfu Chaobo has set foot on the land of Qingzhou after bringing the two counties of Beihai and Donglai under his rule. Although he has been here twice before, he entered as a guest. Qingzhou.
After leaving Shuanghe City, Huangfu Chaobo went west under the escort of the guards and first arrived at Ju County. After staying in Ju County for two days and meeting with the subordinate officials of Beihai State, he set off again to the north and came to Dong'anping City guarded by Xu Rong.
Dong'anping is located south of Zibo River, and to the north is Linzi City guarded by Xiahou Yuan. Although the Andong Army is unable to cross the river to recover the entire Qingzhou, it must also defend the Zibo River line to prevent Cao Cao's army from going south, so Xu Rong will arrange most of his Qianniu Camp's troops in Dong'anping.
Not only that, Xu Rong and Lou Gui also personally sat in Dong'anping to prevent Xiahou Yuan from leading troops to invade the south.
Outside Dong'anping City, on the south bank of Zibo River, in the Qianniu Army camp, Xu Rong was explaining to Huangfu Chaobo in detail the deployment of the troops of the two camps and nine schools of the Qianniu Army in the two counties of Qingzhou.
Less than three months after arriving in Qingzhou, Xu Rong had completed the reorganization of the Qianniu Army. He mixed the 15,000 infantrymen he brought with him with the infantrymen under Meng Yi, and then selected suitable soldiers from the two counties of Beihai and Donglai to replenish the seven schools of infantrymen of the Qianniu Army.
Afterwards, Xu Rong deployed the two schools of infantrymen of the Qianniu Camp and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry on the Dong'anping line, focusing on defending against Cao Cao's army on the north bank. The other two schools of Qianniu Camp soldiers were arranged by him in Ju County and Chang'an.
