Chapter Eighty-Five: The Boat

"That's right, let me tell you what you learned from the battle just now, and talk about ways to improve the battle." Looking at their stunned expressions, Zhu Youxiao nodded affirmatively.

Let's talk!

Looking at the encouraging expressions of His Royal Highness on the stage, somehow, the teenagers suddenly felt a little moved for no reason. Want to hear from us, want to get our help. This......... This has never happened before. At this moment, all the teenagers felt a sense of happiness that was valued.

"Li Yuyu, you are the squad leader, you take the lead and talk about your opinions." Seeing that no one took the initiative, Zhu Youxiao directly named him.

"Yes, Your Highness." Li Yuyu got up from the ground. Since the conference was going to be held for a long time, everyone was sitting on the ground, and the oil paper cloth was padded under the buttocks.

After a long silence, Li Yuyu slowly spoke, "I think our phalanx is very strong, but it lacks some things, such as archers. If we had archers, it would have been much easier to defeat the pirates last night. ”

"That's all I have to say." After saying that, Li Yuyu went on.

"Bang bang." Zhu Youxiao took the lead in applauding. Then there was a series of applause, everyone clapped their hands, and when they didn't say it, they didn't think it, but now when Li Yuyu said it, they really felt that if there was a team of archers, it would be .......

They can't describe anything, they just know that it will definitely be so powerful.

Zhu Youxiao was also very happy, he noticed Li Yuyu very early, and among all of them, he was the only one who was really trying to understand the purpose of all training and explore the necessity of these training. And others, including Li Tu and Li Tao, are just passively retrained, one passive, the other active, the difference is worlds apart.

It's no wonder that he was able to break through the most lacking thing in the phalanx tonight, which was Zhu Youxiao's future plan.

"Okay, next ......" After Li Yuyu sat down, Zhu Youxiao nodded the name of the rain, although the young man stood up very nervously, stumbling, just said that the phalanx was so powerful, and he didn't have any useful suggestions, but Zhu Youxiao still gave him applause and encouragement.

In this way, one by one, they stood up and spoke, although many people's words were just simple sighs and praises, but there were also many very constructive views, which greatly expanded Zhu Youxiao's thinking. Although he knew that the path he had chosen was definitely the right one, he did not have enough experience to combine the knowledge in his mind with the current situation.

And tonight, after listening to the feelings of so many people and absorbing the views of others, I have greatly made up for the shortcomings in this regard. In particular, after tonight's discussion, everyone participated, released their subjective initiative, condensed the centripetal force, and made the combat effectiveness of the entire Yulin Army rise again.

The discussion of the evening was very late, and everyone enthusiastically participated, and at the end, the people who had been embarrassed before, or who were too abrupt to say anything, also chattered about the spark of their own wisdom, although many did not, but inspired others.

Although this meeting is small, but it is of great historical significance, it is extremely important for the Yulin Army, which is destined to be passed on, and in later generations, this discussion is called the soul of Yulin, and later after Zhu Youxiao returned to the palace, the army was reorganized and called the beginning of the modern army of the Ming Dynasty.

The next day, due to the fact that the meeting was held late last night, the entire Yulin Army did not get up early to exercise that day, and Zhu Youxiao gave them a rare half-day off. He himself, with his people, went to inspect the salt works.

Although he didn't know how to dry the salt, he was still able to give some advice. Whether it is technical or operational management, he can have some very useful suggestions at hand. At present, Wang Wenyan, as the person in charge of the salt farm, supports the overall work, Liu Bin assists him and is responsible for sales, while Lao Zhou is responsible for the production of the salt farm, continuing to improve the process and increase the output.

The salt farm is Zhu Youxiao's first industry, and it is also for an important source of funds, although he didn't plan to do this at first, but thought of his own technology to eat, but now that he has intervened, there is no reason to retreat.

Luo Yangxing also stayed, helping to improve the later network of the salt works and recruit nursing staff. Although it is impossible to have such a big battle in the future, the necessary protective personnel are still needed. Moreover, it is impossible for Wang Wenyan to stay here all the time, he is just temporarily presiding, and after everything is straightened out and all the relationship channels are improved, he will return to the capital and hand over this place to Liu Bin.

Such a big think tank, if it is lost in such a poor country, it is a waste, and Zhu Youxiao is the person who hates waste the most.

While chatting with Wang Wenyan about the development of the salt farm, Zhu Youxiao looked at the sea view. It's just that without artificial treatment and purification, the sea here looks black and has no beauty at all. Next to him, it was Luo Yangxing, who was acting as Zhu Youxiao's guard at the moment, with a few capable brocade guards, not leaving an inch.

"Mr. Wang, after you straighten out the matter of this book, hand it over to Liu Bin, and then go back to Beijing." Zhu Youxiong stammered.

"Yes......" Before Wang Wenyan's words could be finished, he was interrupted by a shout.

"The owner!"

"The owner!"

Old Zhou ran over here panting, shouting at the same time, he didn't know Zhu Youxiao's identity, and he didn't know what the relationship between Wang Wenyan and Zhu Youxiao was. simply, he simply called the owner all the way, and no one was offended.

After the "....... of the owner" ran over, before he could catch his breath, Lao Zhoutou said with a look of joy or worry, "The owner, the little ones found something on the beach a few miles away over there. With that, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the west.

Following the direction of Lao Zhoutou's finger, several people stared, and sure enough, in the far away west, they vaguely saw a black dot. Black dots can still be seen at this distance, which is obviously a behemoth.

"Let's go, let's see." Zhu Youxiao suddenly became interested, greeted him, turned over his horse, and ran over there. Luo Yangxing immediately followed with the brocade guards, and as for Wang Wenyan, the scholar was weak, so he didn't go.

It was still very fast to run towards the black dot on horseback, and as the distance got closer and closer, Zhu Youxiao could gradually see the true face of the black dot, which was a boat.

It's just that this is not an ordinary boat, and its style is completely different from the style of the boats that are popular on the coast of China at the moment. This is a Galen ship, or a Galen ship of no small tonnage.

The Galen, a large schooner with three masts and long sails of soft white, crossed the ocean from Europe to the South China Sea.

When he came to the Galen boat lying on the beach, Zhu Youxiao found that the boat was really big, and the narrow hull was estimated to be more than 40 meters, and it looked very slender. He can't estimate the tonnage, after all, he didn't study ships in college.

At this moment, the athlete in the ocean is lying miserably on the beach at the moment, allowing people to watch. The deck, which was supposed to have a large number of masts and canvas, was now bare, and judging from the stubble on it, it was evident that all of them had been broken, and around the ship, the corpses were scattered, apparently washed onto the beach with the waves of the ship.

"Tsk, it's really strange, I didn't expect to see Western Galen ships on the borders of China." Zhu Youxiao smashed it the most, and he was amazed. Probably after looking around, he realized the reason why the ship had been abandoned.

In the bottom of the boat there was a huge hole, the hole was large enough to accommodate three or four people to pass at the same time. Apparently the ship ran aground, then was abandoned, and finally washed up here by the heavy rain the day before yesterday, and the bodies were presumably the crew members on board who did not have time to escape.

After inspecting the Galen ship, Zhu Youxiao went to look at the corpses again, which made him find something surprising. He didn't know the dead men, but did he know the clothes on his body, no, more accurately, the marks on their clothes.

He also found this sign on the corpse of a pirate who he threw into the sea. At this time, when I saw the exact same logo, I didn't understand what was going on.

It must have been that day when the pirates fled in a panic, and then the rain was pouring down, and they panicked, and as a result, the Galen ship hit the reef at the bottom of the sea, and was finally abandoned, and then washed here.

"Although the ship is broken, the value of the ship to me is immeasurable." Standing up, Zhu Youxiao looked at the huge wooden product in front of him with great satisfaction.

"Hey, little one, go tell your father, take everyone with you, and come and pull the boat." Turning his head, he shouted at a young man who looked a little like Old Zhou. It was he and his friends who found the ship and reported it.

That night, the Galen ship was towed by everyone, taking advantage of the high tide, to the side of the village of Yanding, and then put it away. In addition, he didn't have any orders, for him, the most important thing for this ship is to refer to and learn from it, and other things like whether the ship can be repaired or not, whether it can go to sea, are not so important.

It was only when he was tuging the boat that he found something strange, it was a flag with a bucket embroidered on it. This made Zhu Youxiao's eyes full of confusion, and he didn't know what it meant. His pirates at the end of the Ming Dynasty were limited to a few people, Zheng Zhilong, Li Dan, and Yan Siqi.

After staying in the salt field for a few days and training for four or five days of five-kilometer fully armed cross-country, Zhu Youxiao led people to walk back, accompanied by his uncle Wang Sheng and his little grandfather Zhang Shize. On the third day, they learned that Zhu Youxiao had arrived and rushed over.

But the two lords did not go back on foot, but on horseback. At the end of the line, there was another group of cautious teenagers, who were the children of Yanding Village and were recruited by Zhu Youxiao. These young men are simple in nature, strong in physique, and strong in discipline, and they are really good soldiers.

Of course, the most important thing is that Lao Zhoutou came to beg, hoping that his youngest son can follow the owner and not be a salt stove household in the future. Looking at the other party's extremely expectant eyes, his heart softened, and he accepted it, and the consequence was that there were more twenty boys.

The way back was smooth sailing, there were no twists and turns, and it was much smoother than when I came. It's just that after I came back, it wasn't so comfortable.

After all, the paper can't keep the fire, Zhu Youxiao took people out of the palace or was poked out, he set off early that day, but it was also dawn, and his whereabouts were still seen by someone after all, and it was collected by someone with a heart, which was a piece of evidence. What's more, the people behind the Changlu Li family already knew the outcome of that battle, no matter what, it was impossible for them to just stop like that, even if the other party was the emperor's grandson!
