I guessed what Liu Yu wanted to do in the future, but Liu Yu didn't say anything, Kang didn't slack off or ask, and went to busy the fishermen's affairs first.

Liu Yu took a boat trip to Liugong Island, and the terrain of the island was too suitable for naval service.

The side facing Weihaiwei is a flat beach, while the side facing the Pacific Ocean has rolling hills.

There are also high ground on both sides of the island, and the construction of a few batteries on the surface can ensure the safety of the fleet staying in the Wai Bay.

Of course, he did not want to be forced to rely on the army and batteries to protect the navy one day, and the navy that could only stay in the harbor was equivalent to non-existent.

But before you think about winning, you should think about it in advance.

The first Western enemy he chose was the Dutch, who were best at raiding and stealing ports.

Send fast ships and conduct raids when the harbor fleet is not leaving the port.

I did this to Zheng Zhilong, to the French in Europe, to the Spaniards, and even to the British.

Don't be careful.

After inspecting the location of the fort, I went to the well spring on the island to take a look, and tasted the water in the well, which was okay and not salty.

There is no river on the island, but there is groundwater. Since there is a spring, then several wells can be drilled.

Climbed to the top of the mountain and overlooked the terrain of Liugong Island and the vicinity, and couldn't help but sigh.

"The key to the Bohai Sea, the east chokes the sun, this place is not lost, and North China is worry-free."

After a condescending rough planning, Liu Yu decided to spend a little more money to build a beautiful Liugong Island Naval School.

For masonry, it is best to reserve a window lattice with glass, and paste it with paper for the time being.

The basic industry such as glass-burning still needs to be carried out, and there are so many rich people in Jiaodong who dig for gold, which is a market that can support development.

The alkali can be used by the seaweed ash method, or by the miscanthus lubran method in Jiangsu, so that the military camp and the naval school can lead the consumption.

As for the army barracks, it's probably foolish, as long as you can live there.

He couldn't grasp this batch of troops, he just trained them for the emperor, and naturally they were only raised by his stepmother.

…………

Five months passed in a flash, and the wake-up bell rang in Weihaiwei's barracks, as every day before.

Getting up at six o'clock, the sentry on duty at night followed the bell and sounded the military trumpets, although the shrill trumpet was annoying, but it was not as frightening as the punishment received for getting up late, and no one dared to sleep lazy.

As a student who failed to be promoted to the upper dormitory of the Wude Palace, and as Liu Yu's former classmate in the Wude Palace, Wu Fangrui knew very well how strict the military discipline of this "military training envoy" was.

In terms of identity and rank, it is far inferior, and in terms of merit, hundreds of people have been cut early, and none of these people in Weihaiwei dare to call out.

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree. The head of the Wude Palace naturally has to be respected, but what really makes them respect is the war in the north, which has spread all over the past few years, and many people have gone to see the captured Rakshasa King Yizi, and heard a lot of stories about the war, which has gradually become a legend.

I respect my heart, and the military discipline is strict, so I have to abide by it, and I dare not disobey it.

At the moment when the wake bell rang stingy, Wu Fangrui quickly lifted the newly distributed quilt, hurriedly put on his clothes, put on a felt hat, and ran outside with the people who slept with him.

As the shift leader of his shift, after completing the report of the whole team, he reported to Liu Yu, who was standing in front of him expressionlessly, in turn.

According to the military salute of Xinxue, he put his hand to his chest and shouted with all his might: "Report, there should be 30 people in the second shift, but there are 29 people, and one person has taken leave yesterday because he has diarrhea from eating fish." ”

Wu Fangrui knew that the next step was to do the drill and run exercise, and this kind of pre-exercise report has become a necessary subject every day, and he has only been the shift leader for a month.

At the beginning, some people reported that their voices were not loud, and they were scolded by Liu Yu, and they said "inaudible, louder" several times, so that some people privately joked that Lord Liu was deafening from fighting in the north.

After the report was completed, they returned to the queue, and the Western musicians who accompanied the army began to play the military song, and each team began to sing the "song of the vanguard" in unison.

"Ancient heroes have never seen, deadly cannonballs and iron pellets. The guns cracked as soon as they rang out, and there was no more Zhao Guanzhang in the world. The young people of my generation have seen that the lead bullets are flying around and their heads are held high......"

After singing the song, I had to follow the lead soldiers on duty to do exercises and runs.

Wu Fangrui is from a good family, although he has not really entered the army, but his family has always been a soldier, and he is very familiar with the army, but he has never heard of any army that is trained every day.

After running the morning exercise, the day has just begun. The procession returned to the barracks gate, and each squad returned to its own barracks, and there was a Western clock in each barracks, and the housekeeping had to be completed by 7:40.

Holding a cup, waving a pig's bristle toothbrush that had just been issued, and getting some rations of salt and ash powder, it could be less serious when brushing his teeth and washing his face, and the classmate smelled the smell from the canteen not far away, and scolded: "It's fish again!" Damn, in five months, I ate more fish than I had in the previous twenty years. How many days are left until Xiu Mu? On the day of rest, I had a treat and went to the city to go to the restaurant together. ”

Wu Fangrui tilted his head, the salt water gurgled near his throat for a while, spit it out all the mouthfuls, washed his face and said, "There are still four days before the rest of the day, it's early." It's not that the fish is not tasty, but that it is really ...... Eh, fish stew with tofu, fish stewed tofu, surimi balls...... Those few fishermen can really fight. ”

After complaining about the food, he shouted at the few who were still grinding there: "Hurry up, hurry up!" I have to go back to folding the quilt, and I have to check the edges and corners of the quilt later. ”

As soon as they thought of folding the quilt, the few who were rubbing didn't dare to rub it anymore, so they touched their faces indiscriminately and ran into the barracks.

Folding quilts, they resist and contradict, but Liu Yu made it very clear in the big class: duty is the golden stone for sharpening soldiers' obedience.

Cultivating a sense of obedience is a necessary condition for any army, and only with a sense of obedience can there be good discipline; Only with good discipline can the intention of the battle be accomplished; Only by completing the intention of the battle can we minimize our own casualties.

Wu Fangrui remembered that in the big class, Liu Yu also raised a little, saying that the stricter the training requirements for soldiers, the more "benevolent".

Because discipline and training can make the army win, it is thought that "great benevolence" is like Huo Quai; For example, Li Guang shared weal and woe with the soldiers, but he couldn't even do camp training well, and the soldiers who followed him couldn't get military merits, this is "Xiaoren".

Moreover, it is not just to seek to know what it is, but to let these candidate officers know why it is.

I even made it clear why I did this, and although I was very irritating to do my duties every day, I had to accept it.

Wu Fangrui thought to herself, anyway, she would only do it for a year at most.

After a year, I will be able to torture others, those recruits or juniors.

Thinking that he would be able to torture others in a year, Wu Fangrui couldn't help but be happy, and his hands on the stack of quilts trembled, so he had to spread them out and take care of them again.

After taking care of the housekeeping, I went to eat, and sure enough, as I guessed before, steamed buns with fish, shrimp and crab shells and other mince balls, but anyone who has seen how to smash these surimi, will definitely not want to swallow these things into the stomach, small fish, small shrimp and crabs and the like are mixed together and smashed, eating just to ensure the consumption of exercises, of course, the key is to save money.

After a few sips of food, seeing that it was still early, I ran to the toilet, squatted there with a few people and smoked for a while, looking at the Dawn training ship that was being tested at sea, and these people couldn't help but mumble.

The buildings on Liugong Island are still under repair for the time being, and the group of people from the navy are also living in the barracks, and the two sides don't talk much at all.

These candidate officers of the new army looked down on the group of people in the navy: at least they were admitted to the Wude Palace, and those people were unsuccessful students.

However, their own military uniforms were still the same as before, and the group of people in the navy were newly custom-made military uniforms, at least they looked much more beautiful than their blue coats and felt hats.

White trousers, a dark blue coat, and tassels on the shoulders, the coat is said to be a woolen material bought from the south, and it looks gorgeous and bright.

Their group of officers of the new army were much more cold, and they did not wear armor, they wore military uniforms issued by the military government, and wore red tasseled felt hats, and now even the officers and those first batch of soldiers from good families were five or six hundred, and they had not even been equipped with guns.

Judging from the military uniforms alone, those of them who were admitted to the Wude Palace at the beginning looked like they were raised by their stepmothers.

But fortunately, thinking about the appearance of those landlubbers vomiting and diarrhea on the seasick boat a few days ago, I finally feel better.

"Hey, Brother Wu, I heard no, Lord Liu said that he would have to be assessed again in a few days. This time, it is necessary to divide the horses, infantry, artillery, and engineering classes. A 'staff squad' was to be elected, and it was said that there were only twenty people. What do you say this staff officer is for? ”

Wu Fangrui shook his head and said, "I can't say clearly." But when I was in class before, didn't I mention it? It is said that in the future, it is necessary to formulate a marching route, pre-select the battlefield, march and camp, and formulate various plans before the start of the war to prepare for the selection? ”

"Isn't that a duplication of the commander's duties?"

The person who asked the question also thought of what Liu Yu mentioned a few days ago, and was quite puzzled. If the staff officer does this, what will the Lord do?

"I don't know. Listening to that, it was as if the staff of the Forces nouvelles was going to make a plan, and the chief general was just making a decision. So this is called a controlled army, and incompetent generals can also be competent? You and I are young, Lord Liu is naturally different, but if you change to an old noble as the main general, the staff can only formulate strategies, but cannot control the army. Maybe that's what Lord Liu thinks? ”

The person who asked pondered for a while, but didn't understand what was going on, so he said, "No matter what, you have to take the test well." I don't know what I'll test, so if I pick 20 people, it's hard to say who will be selected. ”

Wu Fangrui pondered carefully again and said, "If you want me to say, what you want to learn in this staff class may be different from what you want to learn in ordinary classes." Maybe the staff class is to learn strategy, and ordinary students only need to learn queues, chopping, turning, and formations? The staff squad is a general, and the ordinary squad is a sentinel and a brigade guard? ”

Several people discussed for a long time, but they didn't say anything, and seeing that the time was almost up, they had to disperse.

I went back to the barracks and took out my sticks, and I had to start my daily routine again.

After the formation was completed, Wu Fangrui was named out, Liu Yu did not ride his white horse, but chose a brown-red war horse, and shouted at Wu Fangrui: "Raise the stick and poke the horse's eyes and mouth!" ”

"Yes!"

shouted loudly, and saw Liu Yu riding his horse back, and then suddenly increased a little speed and rushed towards him.

The speed of the horse is not fast, and the distance of a dozen paces makes it impossible for the horse to increase its speed at all.

However, even so, when the horse rushed to Wu Fangrui's side, the horse's majestic chest and height still made him forget the order Liu Yu said, but subconsciously flashed to the side.

With this flash, Liu Yu's whip fell almost at the same time and slapped on his shoulder.

"Repeat what I just commanded!"

"Yes! Raise the stick and poke the horse's eyes and mouth! ”

"So what are you hiding? Is he so timid, but he is quite an officer? Do it all over again! ”

"Yes!"

More than 100 students stood in line, Wu Fangrui took a deep breath and stood up again with a stick.

The whip on his shoulder was fine, but the sentence "cowardly" in front of more than 100 people really made him angry.

Seeing Liu Yu's horse jogging over again, he endured the pressure brought by the horse's strong chest, screamed, and poked at the horse's eyes.

At this poke, the horse that had been jogging stopped, kicked its hooves on the ground, and was unwilling to go any further. The man did not hide, but the horse did.

Liu Yu took a few steps back from the horse, this time Wu Fangrui's courage was much greater, standing straighter, and stabbing more accurately, this time the war horse was instigated first, and when he ran to him, he wanted to stop, and finally went around to the side and brushed over.

After doing this several times, Liu Yu stopped his horse.

"Since no strong horse can knock down an infantry with only one stick in his hand, it is even more impossible for a cavalry to win head-on on a battlefield with a roar of roar, facing an infantry armed with bayonet smoothbore guns."

"In the future, as officers, you will use this method to explain clearly to your soldiers. And in this way, let their thoughts of subconsciously avoiding disappear. ”

"When the time comes, I'll do random checks. Now, in pairs, start doing such training. ”
