In the early morning, the dazzling light shone into the cabin, and Yan Changwu opened his eyes.

When he got up, his cabin was at the highest point of the stern, and it was not very large, and through the aft window, which was arranged from one side of the ship to the other, the whole harbour was quietly bathed in the morning sun, and it was a beautiful sight.

Of course, in the entire Ming Dynasty, he had to occupy the highest and largest cabin on a large ship with the most firepower.

Double gun deck, a 3rd class battleship with 70 guns!

"The general army of the Ming Dynasty is not as good as me, and the secretary of the military department is not as good as me!" Yan Changwu was satisfied and walked into the bathroom to wash.

After getting this big ship, he immediately modified it and converted it into a toilet in his cabin, which he could not tolerate without a toilet.

On the roof of the bathroom, a new water tank was installed to supply water for his needs, so that he could come out dry and energetic to fight each day.

His cabin was a bedroom, a bathroom, and an officer's living room, on which a steaming breakfast was already on the table: fresh beef buns, steamed buns, steamed eggs, lean porridge, and a small plate of green vegetables.

Now it is still in the port, the supply is very good, and every morning a supply ship comes over to supply the flagship.

He doesn't eat big pots of rice, and there is a special cook to cook for him, and he has been checked layer by layer to avoid being poisoned.

The cooks and inspectors are all politically competent people who are deeply trusted and favored by the Yan family.

As commander-in-chief, he enjoys privileges.

Other officers and men also eat well in the port, and there must be hot food, hot porridge, hot rice, hot noodles, steamed eggs, hot steamed buns, and coal bags in the bilges or storage compartments of each ship (special personnel check that coal will spontaneously combust this point Yan Changwu has this common sense), which is used to heat food, and there is no shortage of fresh water.

Yan Changwu commanded the fleet of sail warships, and always attached great importance to supplies, and in his fleet, there were units of "supply ships", which were responsible for supplying warships, and the food and drink were also useful, and they attached great importance to it.

"If you want to collect the hearts of the army, you have to collect their stomachs." Yan Changwu said.

……

Around seven o'clock, accompanied by the guards, Yan Changwu appeared on the open-air deck.

Vice Captain Yan Donglai came over and saluted him: "Overseer! Good morning! ”

Yan Changwu returned the salute, and Yan Donglai took a step behind him and accompanied him to act.

Yan Donglai's footsteps are like a spring, full of vitality... Whoever is promoted from the co-captain of a sixth-class ship to the co-captain of a third-class ship will not be able to sleep!

Now accompanying the commander-in-chief, there are definitely captains of sixth-level ships or even fifth-level ships to be able to be outsiders, so Yan Donglai is very diligent.

Now the Southeast Fleet is developing by leaps and bounds, and it is caught in the dilemma of having warships but not enough trained officers and men.

Take Yan Changwu's captain's certificate as an example, he will graduate in a few months, and it will take at least a few years when he is regularized.

But there is no way, the warship is waiting for someone to operate, and the enemy does not wait for you to train before coming to fight you, so he has to reluctantly give a graduation certificate, stating that he has to carry out "continuing education", hehe, this is another term with the characteristics of the national dynasty.

"Hello Captain! Hello Captain Yan! ”

"Good morning, Captain! Hello Captain Yan! ”

……

The officers and men on the ship saluted them one after another, with powerful movements and reverent eyes.

Through uninterrupted investment, training and achievements, Yan Changwu initially gained the hearts of the army.

It can be said that his army is the most defensible person in the Southeast Prefecture, and he can fight wherever he wants.

Yan Donglai issued an order: "The captain has an order, all assemble!" ”

"All assembled!"

The heralds rushed everywhere and shouted, "Assemble! ”

As soon as the military order is issued, it is said that it is real-time, and the officer holds the bell to keep watch, and anyone who is late will be punished.

So the officers and men of the "Southeast" soon came running from all over the place, concentrating on the open deck, crowded the masts up to the forecastle, and the stern stood the officers.

The southeast has a displacement of 1,500 tons, which is definitely a big ship in Southeast Asia in the 17th century, and the British dared to sell it to Yan Changwu, knowing that this kid dared to make trouble, and specially gave him weapons to let him get enough.

It has a crew of 650 people, well, the sixth-level Kaohsiung ship has a crew of 180 people, which means that the two southeast ships will sweep away the crew of Yan Changwu's six Kaohsiung ships, so that the Kaohsiung ships have no crew.

Of course it is impossible, there are a large number of new sailors on the Southeast, and the new sailors here are not only young sailors, but also some old sailors of Chinese hard sailing ships, and they can be regarded as new sailors when they control this big ship.

The open deck was crowded with people, and they could not stand casually, but stood in a lined up department to make it easier to count points.

There were a lot of people, and except for the non-commissioned officers who were counting, there was no sound.

The assembly of the army is not like the assembly of ordinary people, and those who dare to speak will be punished!

With the assistance of the non-commissioned officers, the number was reported to Yan Donglai, who took the roster and recorded it with a brush on a small desk on the side of the stern.

Roll call one by one on small warships, but not on large ships.

"Captain, our ship has a capacity of 653 people, and there are 635 people, and no one is late or absent!" Yan Donglai reported.

"Very well, let's pray to Mazu Niangniang!"

Set up an incense case, please put the statue of Mazu Niangniang in the center of the stern, a temple blessed with red silk stepped forward, lit incense, and handed it to Yan Changwu.

He offered incense and prayed with the people, reciting the prayer and saying: "Mazu Niangniang, with great reverence and great reverence, we pray to you, please bless us with a long military fortune and safety for all, and we are willing to bring your glory to all oceans and continents!" ”

All the people are serious and pious, and it is a great thing to live on the seas and worship the gods.

After finishing, please leave the statue, and continue to the next procedure is that Yan Dong will read out the military discipline and military discipline.

First up is the creepy "Order of the Ten Killings"!

Then read the Regulations on Rewards and Punishments for the Army, pointing out what can and cannot be done, for example, "...... Any officer, soldier, or other person in the fleet, who confronts any of his superiors, whether in word or deed, shall be punished, and shall be punished with a light emphasis on the circumstances, and shall be killed if he does not obey the orders of his superiors in battle!" ”

There are also "brave battles, showing great courage, can be rewarded with the 'Melee Assault Medal'" and so on.

Both recruits and veterans pay attention to it, they must write it down, and military discipline is by no means a joke.

"Captain, please!" Yan Donglai said.

"My loyal subordinates, I am your captain Yan Changwu. Today, under the leadership of Mazu Niangniang, we can stand on this powerful battleship, we must not live up to Mazu Niangniang's expectations, we must not live up to this battleship......"

All the people looked at him intently and listened to his precepts: "Mazu Niangniang is on the side of a strong army, if the army wants to be strong, it must be strictly trained, from today onwards, we will conduct special training, non-stop special training every week (the fleet uses the Gregorian calendar), from Monday to Sunday!" ”

"This special training code name is 'Moon Moon Fire Water Wood Gold Gold'!" Yan Changwu felt super good, and he was very happy to say it, and he leaked his mouth.

……

After the dismissal, several non-commissioned officers chatted, and someone asked, "Why is it called a special training name like 'Yueyue, Fire, Water, Wood, Jinjin'?" ”

Many people are puzzled, an old non-commissioned officer, his qualifications are quite old, he is a sailor who followed the captain's cheap father Yan Siqi during the period, went to the shogunate (Yan Siqi's home there), and said without thinking: "In Japanese, Sunday to Saturday is expressed by the sun, moon, fire, water, wood, gold, and earth, Sunday is the sun sun, Monday is the moon day, Tuesday is the fire day, and so on." Our training doesn't stop even on Saturdays and Sundays, isn't it Monday, one, two, three, four, five, five (i.e., month, month, fire, water, wood, gold, gold)! ”

The non-commissioned officers suddenly realized: "Oh, it turns out that the code name of the special training comes from Japanese!" ”

"The captain speaks Japanese, could it be that the captain is a Japanese man?" A non-commissioned officer named Liu Duoming was open-mouthed.

He was unlucky, and someone told him that day.

Postscript: Early the next morning, the whole ship gathered to watch the flogging.

Liu Duoming was whipped twelve times in public, and he was beaten so much that his skin was open, he couldn't stand it, and fainted.

Yan Donglai, who acted as a military judge, announced loudly: "...... Non-commissioned officer Liu Duoming seriously slandered his superiors and sentenced him to twelve lashes to set an example! ”

"Do more things, talk less, the army is for war, not bragging!" Yan Changwu lectured, and then said: "I, Yan Changwu, my ancestral home is Haicheng, Fujian, and I am a descendant of the Yan family of Haicheng, I have always been a Han person, not a Japanese person, and what I hate the most is that others say that I am a Japanese person!" ”

"As for the special training codename, this is just a code name, if the red-haired fan or outsiders hear it, they don't understand it at all, and we have achieved the purpose of concealing it. In addition to this codename, we will also use the code name of Hongmao Fan in the future, such as 'Apollo Advent', which is the code name of the war we are about to start! (Yan Changwu Tian shamelessly compared himself to the sun god, and if he wins, he will descend to God)
