Chapter 498 Going to sea!
Whether an army is strong has a lot to do with whether a country is strong, whether science and technology are developed, and whether the population is large.
What's more, an army like the Navy with a strong sense of technology relies on technology, even above the population and national strength.
But Ying Zheng knew in his heart that if he did not solve the problem of food for the people of the world and did not stimulate the development of industry and commerce, the Qin Empire had no money and food to spend scientific research.
Moreover, there are insufficient talents to cultivate. Many things have only a hazy bud on the Central Plains.
However, Ying Zheng knew that in this post-Warring States era, it may not be impossible to make a leaps and bounds of technology.
This is one of the most suitable eras for scientific research in Chinese history. The hundreds of schools of thought have not yet come to an end. In this era, many capable people emerge, and Ying Zheng has confidence in them.
"promise."
Nodding and agreeing, Wang Ben felt the pressure from Ying Zheng's words, and he could feel the hope that Ying Zheng gave him.
This hint of hope is like a mountain, which is breathtaking, but it also makes people excited. I wish I could go up to the mountain of swords and sea of fire to die for Ying Zheng.
"Please rest assured that our Qin Navy will be determined to find food for the empire and His Majesty for going to sea."
After understanding the importance of grain seeds, Wang Ben also looked solemn and had a thought in his mind that he must find a strong grain seeds empire.
"Um."
Nodded slightly, Ying Zheng did not doubt Wang Ben's execution ability, and the sea breeze blew, and there was a salty smell.
Ying Zheng looked at the warship and a hint of heat appeared in his eyes. For a man, no one disliked the strong ship and the sharp cannon.
Although it is just a wooden ship now, this is the starting point of the Qin Navy. He believes that the Qin Navy will never collapse like the Ming Navy, like a meteor.
"Your Majesty, now Dandong Port is only in its headquarters, and the rest of the First and Second Fleets are voyages and exploring unknown seas."
Wang Ben looked at the blue sea, and a bitterness appeared on his rough face, and he said to Ying Zheng: "Since the Qin Empire has never had a navy, both the empire and the navy themselves know too little about this endless sea area."
"I led my army to Dandong Port and had to order a fleet to explore unknown seas. Only in this way can we increase our understanding of unknown seas."
"It can also exercise the courage and ability to face maritime risks."
"Um."
Nodding slightly, Ying Zheng knew that Wang Ben was right, but everything was from nothing to something, and there must be such a process.
"The construction of the navy is urgent. Everything appears from scratch. As a builder, you must believe that even if you start from scratch, you can conquer the world."
Ying Zheng had great expectations for the Qin Navy because he knew that the future would be the world of the navy.
In addition to the invincible battle of a large army, in addition to the strong ships and cannons, it also requires the perseverance of the soldiers. The Qin Dynasty cannot provide strong ships and cannons, but it is still possible to cultivate the beliefs of the soldiers and improve the quality of the soldiers.
By the time technology develops, the days of strong ships and powerful guns may not be far away.
"After going to sea, the education issues in the army must also be arrested. In the future, political and employee officials will be established, which is equivalent to civil officials in the army."
"The education of soldiers will be an important task for the next stage, the Daqin Navy and the Army, and as the leader of the navy, you must assume this responsibility."
Ying Zheng's tone was solemn. He was not just for education, but for controlling the army's thoughts and carrying out propaganda work.
He knew in his heart that the military generals hated the political work department very much, and it would take a good opportunity to promote the political work department in the military.
"promise."
Nodding, Wang Ben knew that this was not the first time Ying Zheng mentioned popularizing education in the army. Obviously, this was already a national policy, and if it was not implemented, it would be bloody.
After talking with Wang Ben for a while, Ying Zheng took Xu Fei and others to watch the scenery on the shore. The sea water of this era is blue, and from a distance, it is extremely beautiful.
He doesn't need to deal with the government affairs in the army. With Wang Ben here, he can enjoy his leisure with peace of mind.
"Your Majesty, the sea is in a state of turmoil. Standing here, it is so beautiful!" Meng Yi looked at the sea water and couldn't help but sigh.
"Love, always remember one sentence. In this world, the more beautiful things are, the more dangerous things are."
Just like a beautiful woman is the most lie, and the brightest mushrooms in the mountains and forests must be poisonous. The quiet sea is beautiful at this moment, and once the wind blows, it will be dead here.
...........
The next day.
A thousand teams going out to sea were ready to go, and the steamships that could not be seen were waiting. They were loaded with food, resources, and even war horses.
At this moment, they had the momentum of the wind whistling and the Yishui cold, and the heroes never returned once they left.
"We have seen Your Majesty for thousands of years, and the Qin for thousands of years--!" Seeing Ying Zheng coming, everyone led by Wang Ben immediately bowed and said.
"You guys don't have to be too polite!"
Waving his hand to signal everyone to get up, Ying Zheng glanced at Wang Ben and pointed to the neat team ahead: "Are they the ones who went to sea this time?"
"Report to your Majesty, it's them!"
Looking at the soldiers who went out to sea, Ying Zheng was silent for a long time and said, "You are all soldiers in the army, and they are soldiers in the navy. Naturally, they know the dangers of this endless sea."
"Someone must do this. Only by obtaining grain and above the Central Plains, can there be no starving death. However, the sages are often the most likely to have no bones."
"I can't guarantee your safety. I can only promise you one person. Today I will send you my husband to you. If I return next day, I will come to Dandong Port to pick you up."
"If you return safely and bring food, I can give you titles to you. If something happens to you and you have not returned, I will give you titles to your descendants or your parents."
Speaking of this, Ying Zheng suddenly bowed to the thousands of soldiers and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, please ask you all whether the people of the thousands of countries in the Great Qin Dynasty are hungry."
"Please rest assured, your Majesty, we are willing to be loyal to Your Majesty, and we are willing to die for the Qin Dynasty-!" At this moment, the Thousand-Man team was determined and passionate in their hearts.
"good!"
Ying Zheng took the Xuanbird Banner of the Great Qin from Xin Sheng, walked over, handed it to the commander of the thousand-man, and said, "Take it with you, my Great Qin Empire is with you!"
"promise."
Nodded and agreed, the commander Zhang Wei solemnly took the Daqin Xuanniao Banner from Ying Zheng, inserted it into the main ship, and shouted: "Everyone obeys the order and goes out to sea--!"
