"explain."
"First, we must fight and resolve the situation quickly." Ning Que pointed to the map hanging in the hall. "I'm not talking about annexing the entire city, but rather quickly capturing one or two cities to give the Fengtian Army a foothold."
"We also need to open up a sea route, starting from Jiaodong or Linzi and heading straight for Baengnyeong Island. This island is extremely strategic, being very close to the capital of Goguryeo. Once we capture it, we can train our fleet and stockpile military supplies. As the army advances, Baengnyeong Island will ensure the safety of our logistics. We can also take the sea route and storm Goguryeo."
"So we want to develop the boat division?"
"Yes." Ning Que nodded firmly. "To capture Goguryeo, we don't need to send too many troops, but they must be elite. And we can't do without the navy, so we must vigorously develop it!"
If not for Goguryeo, we have to consider the future.
If you want to go out, you can’t do without Master Zhou!
As the saying goes, it takes ten years to build an army, and a hundred years to build a navy.
But Dafeng never paid much attention to the navy.
After all, we can’t occupy all the land, so what’s the point of the ocean?

It was also popular in the Kingdom of Nanyue.
For example, the Yue people are good at boats and are proficient in water.
Anyone with a basic understanding of trade and transportation knows that sea transportation is much cheaper than land transportation. For example, grain transportation in Dafeng relied primarily on manpower, and during the Northern Expedition, it was shipped from thousands of miles away. Ten dan of grain at the time of departure might only be left with one dan by the time it reached Yanmen Pass...
Emperor Feng nodded thoughtfully.
It's not easy to develop a boat division...
That will be a considerable expense!
It's a bottomless pit and it's hard to see the effect.
