Establishment of the Grand Governor's Office
Zhang Xun did not think that he was the Overlord or Liu Bang.
At this moment, there were already over thirty thousand people on Surging East Island.
After the expansion of the population, the previous flat management structure had become unsuitable.
Therefore, Zhang Xun quickly made the decision to establish a system.
Nominally, it was the name of the Flowing Ball Governor's Office.
In front of his main cadre, Zhang Xun said,""So far, our strength is still far from the Tang Dynasty, so... We should build high walls, slowly become kings, and store up food.”
In terms of establishing a system, Zhang Xun could only make his own decision because his subordinates were a bunch of inexperienced pirates.
Under the Governor's Office, there were five divisions: the Godson's Army, the Navy Division, the Infantry Division, the Civil Affairs Division, the Intelligence Division, and the Staff Division.
The foster son's personal army was Zhang Xun's personal army. They were all taken in by him, given names, and personally educated by him. They could be considered the most loyal team under Zhang Xun. At the same time, these people were also quite educated.
Zhang Xun would personally teach his adopted sons about geometry, mathematics, navigation, military training, and so on. It could be said that other than some Confucian theories (Zhang Xun himself was not very good at it), these people would all be the future officers of the Black Tiger Navy. The older ones were fifteen or sixteen years old, while the younger ones were only seven or eight years old.
Although it was called a pro-army, it was actually more like a junior military academy.
The adopted sons who came out of this place could be said to be of good standing and were much more capable than those old pirates.
At present, his adopted son is the commander of the pro-army, named Zhang De 'er.
And the oldest, Zhang Deyi, was now the commander of the Navy Division! As the infantry of the Black Tiger Navy usually moved together with the navy, Zhang Xun didn't let anyone take up this position. Instead, he took it up himself.
The command of the Civil Affairs Division was handed over to Zhang Shiba. This was because Zhang Shiba himself had quite the administrative talent. Previously, the Black Tiger Navy was completely blank in this area. However, now that he had many subordinates, Zhang Xun had to consider this point.
The commander of the Intelligence Division was Zhang Shi 'er. He had always been the captain of the Black Tiger Navy's secret investigation team. It was well-deserved to be handed over to him.
The Staff Adviser Division was just created, and Zhang Xun did not have many talents who could take on the role of staff adviser. For the time being, it was taken up by a group of youths from his adopted son's army. Although this position did not seem to have much power for the time being, with Zhang Xun's naturalization, the Staff Adviser Division would take on an extremely important responsibility in the future.
Currently, the Black Tiger Navy had a unified navy drill code and infantry drill code.
Everything in the team was carried out according to the code. Even the details of eating, drinking, defecating, and sleeping were stipulated in detail.
Once it was violated, the commandant of the military discipline had a lot of power.
Currently, the Black Tiger Navy mainly used warships as a combat unit. The captain and vice-captain were the battle commanders. Under them were the navigation officer, the artillery commander (currently the torsion-fired stone cannon), the melee commander, the medical officer, the logistics officer, and other officers.
This was the configuration that Zhang Xun had made with reference to the ship structure of the Royal Navy of England during the age of the sail battleship.
However, Zhang Xun also knew that he would have to form an army dedicated to fighting on land sooner or later.
Therefore, Zhang Xun was still pondering how to organize the land combat army.
He had studied naval warfare, but he knew very little about land warfare.
There were specialties in every field.
After the meeting, the Black Tiger Navy officially became known as the Flowing Ball Grand Governor's Office.
Using the name of the Tang Dynasty, even if he plundered Fusang, Baekje, and Silla in the future, he would probably be able to use the tiger's might.
After that, Zhang Xun was also so busy that his feet did not even touch the ground.
First, he had to teach a group of foster sons, mainly mathematics and navigation. As for military training, Zhang Xun had handed it over to the older foster sons, so he needed to take an hour every day to teach.
Then, he went to supervise the shipyard.
During this period of time, they had looted along the Yangtze River and looted a lot of dried wood. The construction of the three-masted sailboat could be put on the agenda.
There were twenty-five three-masted ships in total. The ships were not big, with a length of twenty-five meters and a width of five meters (Zhang Xun had also introduced the concept of meters). There were six cannon cabins on each side.
This was a type of warship that was even smaller than the future grade-6 warships of the Royal Navy of England. In the era of sailing battleships, such small warships could only be used as training ships and reconnaissance ships.
However, in this era, a warship that could carry 16 cannons could be considered the overlord of East Asia!
Once these 25 warships were completed, Zhang Xun would be the absolute sea overlord of East Asia for the foreseeable future!
Of course, just having a boat was not enough.
There had to be a cannon.
