1, Introduction-
Navy or water army is one of the main components of a country's army. Generally speaking, it is a service marked by anchor, which is used to fight on water bodies such as oceans, rivers and lakes. The weapons used by the navy are mainly various warships on the surface of the water and submarines sailing under the sea; The navy that controls the ship is a naval sailor. In addition to naval sailors who fight on the surface and under the sea, the navy can also derive naval aviation from air combat.
The navy is one of the oldest services in human history. Known as "water army" or "navy division" in Chinese characters, it can be traced back to the development of ancient human navigation trade, maritime plunder and self-defense. For example, in BC 1400, Phoenicians built and used three rows of paddle warships to fight the enemy at sea in order to protect the Syrian coast from crossing the Mediterranean Sea.
2. The history of China sailors:
Generally speaking, China had a considerable scale before and after Zheng He's voyage to the West. Although the fleet was abandoned for a while, it was still quite strong. /kloc-still ranked among the world powers at the end of 0/6. /kloc-after the 0/7th century, under the policy of closing the country to the outside world in the Qing Dynasty, the naval strength dropped sharply.
1874, when the Japanese army landed in Taiwan Province province, the Qing government decided to reorganize its naval forces and build a new navy. Its navy is divided into Sanyo: Beiyang Navy is responsible for Shandong and the Yellow Sea to the north, Nanyang Navy is responsible for the East China Sea to the south of Shandong and beyond the Yangtze River, and Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi Navy is responsible for Fujian and the South China Sea. As far as Beiyang Navy is concerned, the official system can be divided into prefect, company commander, lieutenant, general, guerrilla, commander-in-chief, garrison, commander-in-chief and commander-in-chief.

Ancient history—
During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Qi State of Wu Yuechu, which was adjacent to the East China Sea, had navies and fought on water many times. At that time, ships and boats used in water warfare were quite large. According to "The enemy of God is too white and silent", "the tool of water war begins with soldiers. Take the boat as the car and the series as the horse. "
These ships, which replaced land chariots and horses, created conditions for the establishment of the water army. As recorded in Yuejueshu, Wu Zixu also wrote the Law of Warfare, which stipulated the size of the ship, the establishment of the water army and the tactics of the fleet. "Wu Zixu Machiavellian" said: "The ship with big wings is six feet wide and twelve feet long. It can accommodate twenty-six soldiers, fifty soldiers (hands), three swaddling clothes (hands), four Cao Jun captains, four spears and four long axes, one official, one servant and one shooter, a total of 91 people. "
The weapons used in water warfare are knives, spears, crossbows, long hooks, long axes and so on. As a public transportation company, Lu also created the equipment for water combat-"Hook Rejection", which is a kind of bamboo pole with an iron hook. "If the enemy ship retreats, it will hook, but if it advances, it will refuse." Using these warships and weapons to carry out water warfare has made water warfare have a considerable scale. For example, the encyclopedia of China. "Military" tactical article records that "in 485 BC, Wu and Qi fought in the Yellow Sea",
At that time, the boatman of the State of Wu sailed northward from the mouth of the Yangtze River and made a long voyage with great momentum. However, before Wu Jun arrived, the owner of the boat intercepted the water and Wu Jun was defeated. Obviously, the two sides must have established a powerful water army to carry out such a large-scale water war.
