Chapter 109 Naval sailing
Qu Mao took Su Yan to the second floor of the lord's hut by himself to finish his hero equipment, but he also missed the discussion of the specific plan for going to sea by the core staff of Yi Village.
After returning to the dining room of the lord's hut, he handed over the three pieces of jewelry to Zhao Pan, and Wang Ping reported the results of the discussion to Qu Mao and Su Yan on behalf of all the core personnel in the territory of Yi Village.
Everyone thinks that this trip to the southeast, southwest, and south of Yi Island to explore the newly discovered small island requires at least three to four sea ships, an army of 400 to 500 soldiers, and about 100 to 200 people. , and the people should be mainly the people who retired from the sailors and soldiers.
Of course Qu Mao and Su Yan are not here, everyone has no decision, just discuss this matter with each other, and gradually reach some consensus, the final decision is still Qu Mao to make.
The general opinion is that the army must bring at least 300 people, and the navy has only 25 in total (21 first-level sailors, 4 third-level jumping soldiers), and they must all be brought along, which can be regarded as a small number of Yi Village territories. The Navy accumulates a little naval combat experience.
Aiming at the problem that the sea-going ships on the new small island cannot dock and land, after discussing it, everyone thinks that it is not difficult to solve this problem.
When returning from Yancheng for the first time, in order to use Qu Mao’s backpack to lighten the load of the ship on the way, Sunan temporarily asked Jack Twain, a coastal defense officer of Yancheng Port, to purchase a shuttle boat. Almost all shuttle boats are handed over to sailors for fishing in the offshore.
This time to explore a new island, you must bring this shuttle boat, and use the form of ants to move the soldiers and citizens on the sea ship to land in batches one by one.
After discussing the details and reporting to Qu Mao and Su Yan, naturally only Qu Mao needs to make the final decision.
Qu Mao thought for a while, and said: "The construction period of a zero-level civilian wharf will take a week at the fastest, but it can only berth three seagoing ships, so let's go out with at most three seagoing ships.
According to the experience of Hainan Airlines last time, without cargo, the standard passenger capacity of the three sea-going ships is 600 people, and the maximum can not exceed 900 people. It must not be fully loaded to go out, so the army is estimated to be controlled within 400 people, and the civilians are controlled within 400 people. About 200 people..."
Su Yan checked the territory panel of Yi Village for a while, and reminded Qu Mao: "My lord, the total number of citizens in Yi Village territory is 1855, including 425 troops and 828 free citizens.
So, my lord, don’t be too optimistic. The navy has a total of 25 people and 300 sailors. "
Qu Mao frowned for a while, and said: "So the army that goes out to sea to explore is at most about 300 soldiers; the sailors have to leave enough to drive the other three sea ships. Going too many people will definitely affect the production and production of Yi Village. develop.
The citizens are naturally dominated by sailors, retired first-tier fighters, and retired second-tier fighters. "
Chafidel said: "My lord, Yi Island is relatively safe at present, and there is no need to keep too many soldiers.
At most two construction site defense and patrol fighters built in the wild, as well as a certain number of hunting teams, no more than 50 people can be satisfied, and only the first-tier fighters and second-tier fighters can undertake these tasks. "
Su Buqing said: "My lord, why don't you go to explore new islands and take all the third-tier princess guards with you, at most 25 people from the navy are enough."
At least the two small islands reported by the sailors now need to build a zero-level civilian wharf, and the leaders are not enough. I am afraid that they will not be able to successfully complete the construction of these two civilian wharves. The pier definitely needs to be finished.
The 21 first-tier sailors and the four third-tier jumping soldiers must all be brought with them. There is no doubt about this. The hero, Zhao Pan and Kong Ming, I will go, and the army must be properly arranged. "
Su Yan thought for a while, and said: "Master, you take Master Zhao Pan and Master Kong Ming to go out to explore the new island, Yi Island is under the care of your subordinates and Master Wang Ping, and the on-duty production at the resource point must not continue to work in two shifts.
Why don't you let Su Buqing take 200 third-tier princess guards to go to sea with the army, leave 40 third-tier princess guards to be led by Lord Wang Ping to hunt and subsidize food on Yi Island, and 20 first-tier sword and shield soldiers to be in charge of the naval barracks and military port Security work on construction sites.
30 first-tier gunmen are responsible for patrolling and guarding Yidao, as well as escorting food at construction sites and resource points. "
Qu Mao thought for a while, and said: "The 30 second-tier archers and second-tier crossbow shooters will also stay, and they will be responsible for assisting the spearmen in patrolling and delivering meals. Let's see how the other arms are allocated. After all, Yidao is still our foundation.
The 200 sailors and leaders were taken away at once. The lack of leaders participating in production and construction in Yi Village is also a last resort. Next time you go to Yancheng to purchase more leaders and come back. "
Wang Pingdao: "My lord, try not to affect the guard force of Yidao itself, especially now that there are still two important buildings under construction in a small village far away from Mingang. There are a total of 100 soldiers left, and the subordinates think Yidao should be enough of."
Zhao Pan said: "My lord, 200 third-tier princess guards, 15 fourth-tier crossbowmen, 5 fourth-tier guards, 4 fourth-tier monks, sea ships have experience in transporting horses, and 6 fourth-tier light cavalry bring.
10 Tier 3 sharpshooters, including Chafidel, 2 Tier 3 sentry guards, 10 Tier 3 crossbowmen, 20 Tier 2 throwing ax fighters, 25 naval fighters, a total of 297 fighters, you see how?
Counting our three heroes, there are exactly 300 people, and there are still 5 third-tier swordsmen left for Yi Island. "
Kong Ming waved his goose feather fan and said, "My lord, on the basis of the troop composition suggested by Mr. Zhao Pan, my subordinates think that it is necessary to select a few medical personnel from the medical rooms of three small villages to serve as ship doctors on board the ship and to drive three sea-going ships." Go out, let's choose 6 medical personnel to serve as the ship's doctors."
Su Yan said: "My lord Kong Ming is right, my lord, my subordinates arranged for Su Bo to arrange it overnight."
Qu Mao nodded, and said: "I agree in principle with Zhao Pan's deployment of troops. I also think the configuration of ship doctors suggested by Kong Ming is very reasonable.
It is estimated that this expedition will take at least a month, including material equipment, mobilization and assembly of soldiers, and the convening and arrangement of the leaders. Is one night enough?
Start early tomorrow morning from the civilian wharf in Mingang Village, is there time? "
Su Yan stood up and said: "My lord, the three village chiefs arranged overnight, and Mr. Wang Ping prepared supplies. It shouldn't be a big problem."
Zhao Pan said: "My lord, let's set off tomorrow morning. Everyone can be busy all night. After all, there are still several hours of sailing to get there. Most of the soldiers and citizens can take a rest during the voyage. fan."
Qu Mao nodded and said: "Then let's act separately, and set sail tomorrow morning!"
