Chapter 17: For Whom?

"Director Tong's words are not rough, what he said is right, Jiangnan Group spent a lot of money to support you in order to protect the interests of the group from infringement, and you also used heroic battles to protect the group and give back to the group." Zhao Hao waved his right hand vigorously and said in a deep voice:

"It's all the same. From today onwards, your identity has completely changed from the security force of the Jiangnan Group to the coast guard force of the Daming Royal Tamna Garrison Area. Don't worry, you are still in charge of the Jiangnan Group, but the group will give you a new task-" Zhao Hao said, raising his hand to the bright red Sun and Moon Tonghui Banner behind him, and said sonorously:

"That is to guard this flag and guard the sea route of our Jiangnan Group!"

"The establishment of Daming Royal Shipping Corporation is for the purpose of grain shipping. Why do you need to ship grain by sea? Because it can reduce the burden of the people in Jiangnan by ninety percent when they hand over the imperial grain! Zhao Gongzi explained the question of why it was reduced by ninety percent, and looked at the coast guard soldiers in the field with blazing eyes, and sure enough, he saw countless joyful colors.

The reason is very simple: more than ninety percent of the 4,000 coast guards are from the ten prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, and they naturally benefit from the shipping of grain. The rest of the people from Shandong and Henan refugees have also settled in Jiangnan, and with the increase of their income, they will gradually settle in Kunshan.

Now everyone understands at once the significance of shipping grain. The question of why to fight was solved in most of the time.

"The benefits of shipping grain by sea go far beyond that." Zhao Gongzi waved his hand and continued to say in a loud voice: "The imperial court also allows our shipping fleet to conduct overseas trade, and you may not know how important this is to Jiangnan and the group. Let's just say that because of the severance of maritime trade, the silk weaving industry, the pillar industry of the ten provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, has been hit hard. Half of the raw silk and silk were out of sales, and last winter even caused a civil uprising in Suzhou. ”

In the end, the group had no choice but to spend a huge amount of money to cover the silk weaving industry. How much does the group put in? By last month, it was a full 8 million taels, which barely maintained the livelihood of the people in the ten prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River. ”

This is a bit exaggerated, because the group did invest 8 million taels in the acquisition of raw silk and silk, but the Jiangnan Textile Corporation led by Liu Zhengqi has already relied on the strong sales network of the Dongting Merchants Gang to sell half of it. Therefore, there was only a floating loss of less than 3 million taels on the books. Moreover, they are all issued corporate bonds, and Jiangnan Group actually only paid more than 100,000 taels of interest.

Moreover, as soon as the news of the grain shipping reached Jiangnan, the prices of raw silk and silk rose in response, but now because of the strong control of Jiangnan Group, this did not rise as wildly as the year before last. But it is enough to make the huge amount of raw silk hoarded by Jiangnan Group become a sought-after hard currency, and there is no financial pressure at all.

However, we still have to hurry up and sell it, otherwise we will not be able to open overseas sales channels for a long time, and the price of silk will plummet again......

So Zhao Gongzi's logic is not wrong, but some links are omitted. There is no way, people who play tactics are dirty in their hearts, and Zhao Gongzi is even dirtier. I only heard him say in a deep voice:

"Eight million taels of silver, I can make a mountain. The pressure on the group is very great, and only by resuming sea trade and buying silk and raw silk overseas can we turn the danger into a disaster and make a lot of money! Only when the group makes a lot of money can it give bonuses to everyone! ”

The officers let out a burst of laughter, and Childe said it so clearly that they could understand it.

"But most of us, in different capacities, have experienced the Battle of Gabo Island, and you should have truly realized that this sea is not very peaceful! This is a place where pirates are infested and the weak eat the strong. There is no win-win situation and no compromise, only you live and die, the winner takes all, and the loser leaves! Therefore, the group needs us, operate warships and cannons, sweep away all the demons and monsters on the North Ocean, and protect our fleet for safe trade! ”

"The 'police', the vigilance, the coast guard, the patron saint of the group's sea trade is also! Without the protection of our coast guard, the group's maritime trade will be vulnerable, and it can only become a fat sheep for the pirates to compete for, and then withdraw from the sea trade gloomily. Of course, at that time, we have no object to protect, and we will lose the meaning of existence. Therefore, the maritime trade between our coast guard and the group is a relationship of sharing blessings and difficulties, although it is not born on the same day and month of the same year, but it will die on the same day of the same year, the same month! ”

"Therefore, everyone remember, our fight is to protect the group's maritime trade, maritime power, and to make the people of Jiangnan live a better life, and of course we will also take it for granted that we will live a better life!"

Zhao Gongzi waved his arms vigorously, and the heartbeats of all the police officers became faster and faster with his sonorous tone. He used the most plain language and the most simple truth, which ignited the enthusiasm of the soldiers little by little. Let them clarify their responsibilities in the boiling blood, and have a sense of pride and pride in their identity!

The soul of the coast guard is awakening!

"In the future, our overseas trade will also expand to the South and Western Seas, so as to earn a steady stream of wealth for the group and let the people of Jiangnan live a good life. And the duty of our Coast Guard is to clear our trade fleet from all threats. Wherever the sea trade expands, we will fight! The sea trade extends to the seven seas, and our fleet cruises on the seven seas, which is the glorious and sacred duty of our coast guard force! ”

"Go to sea, fight! Glorious and proud coast guard soldiers, the land of the Ming Dynasty is too crowded to accommodate those of us who come after us to get ahead. But on the 80,000-mile stretch of the sea, there are patches of uncultivated virgin land. On the other side of the sea, there are several times the fertile land of the Ming Dynasty waiting for us to have, there are countless gold and silver mountains waiting for us to grab, and there are unprecedented great feats waiting for us to obtain! ”

Zhao Hao took a step forward as he spoke, slammed his right hand into a fist on his left chest, and hoarsely said in a very demagogic tone: "These are all I promised you!" I swear to you with my heart! ”

In the audience, 4,000 police officers also slammed their right fists on their left chests while brushing them together, and responded with a tsunami voice:

"Stepping on the seven seas, although there is no regret in death!"

"Out to sea! Sea!! Sea!!! Then under the leadership of Zhao Hao, they raised their arms and shouted together!

The senior police officers on the high platform were also in high blood and chanting! They knew very well that Zhao Gongzi's last words were for them and the officers in the audience, and they were a promise to them!

~~

In an almost boiling atmosphere, Zhao Hao announced the official establishment of the 'Daming Royal Tamna Garrison District' and awarded the police flag.

Gao Wu, who was wearing a black police robe, held a banner with a pole high in both hands, walked to the center of the high platform, stretched out his arms, and handed the flagpole to Zhao Gongzi.

The flag was six feet six feet long and four feet wide, and the main body was the same as the sun and moon and the same flag, except that there was an extra blue horizontal bar one foot wide at the bottom of the flag. It looks like the sun and moon are shining on the sea.

Zhao Gongzi took the flagpole with both hands, turned around and solemnly awarded Jinke. After Jin Ke solemnly saluted, he respectfully accepted the police flag, turned around and raised it three times to the soldiers in the audience. Every time the flag is raised, it is accompanied by the cheers of the soldiers and the tsunami!

After Jinke retreated with the flag, Zhao Hao awarded Wang Rulong the fleet flag.

The size of the fleet flag is slightly smaller, the flagpole is eight feet, the flag is four feet four feet long, and the width is two feet six, with a blue satin bottom, without any pattern, only embroidered with a line of eye-catching Wei stele style gold characters 'Coast Guard Corps directly under the Tamluo Garrison District'!

This is to avoid totemic confusion among the soldiers, so under the police flag, there is no pattern.

Then Zhu Jue was awarded the flag of the 'Xingang Water Police Bureau'......

Under Tang Youde's strong suggestion, the Gabo Island Marine Police Station was renamed and relocated, and the headquarters of the bureau will be located in the future Fort Xingang, which can better save resources and support the construction of Xingang City. However, the main force of the local fleet of the Marine Police Department will still be stationed on Gabo Island, specifically responsible for the protection of the shipping routes of grain.

Tong Zigong was then awarded the 'Chengshan Water Police Bureau' bureau flag, and the specifications of the bureau flag were the same as the fleet flag.

In fact, the flag should still be awarded, at least for the main battleship of the fleet, but after thinking about it, Zhao Gongzi decided to turn it into a reward - only awarded to the battleship that has made meritorious contributions in battle.

Those battleships that have not made meritorious contributions, no matter how big and expensive they are, only have a numerical number as a code. Among them, the beginning of 1 represents the capital ship, the beginning of 2 represents the medium ship, the beginning of 3 represents the small ship, the beginning of 4 represents the various small boat clippers, the beginning of 5 represents the transport ship, and the beginning of the 6 represents other special ships.

In addition, Zhao Hao allowed the battleship to have the right to name it, and the crew named their warship, so as to encourage the officers and soldiers of each ship to strive for the first place and deepen the relationship between the police and the warship.

In order to set an example, after research and discussion, the garrison decided to award only the medium-sized Wuwei ship numbered '301', the only flag, in recognition of its outstanding performance in the Battle of Gabo Island.

This decision had been notified to the 301 ship ten days ago, which caused the officers and men of the brother ship to be so angry that even Brother Haier, who had been promoted to the captain of the 101 ship, shouted to return to the 301.

The officers and men of the 301 ship were extremely proud, but also launched a fierce discussion, after countless nominations, and after countless overthrows, they decided to name their battleship 'One Blood'!

In the official application documents submitted by the captain and police instructor of the 301 ship, they explained the name as follows: our ship fought valiantly in the Battle of Gabo Island, successfully destroyed the flagship of the Japanese fleet, and made a meritorious contribution to the victory in the first battle. It can be said that in this punishment operation, the first drop of blood was shed by the Japanese invaders, so our ship was named "One Blood" to commemorate it. Sincerely, Regards!

Although Zhao Gongzi felt weird, he couldn't say a thing, so he had to approve their application.

So the captain of the 301 ship, who had two black iron stars on his hat and helmet, took the flag with 'one blood' written on it from the hands of Chief Police Superintendent Zhao in the eyes of envy, jealousy and hatred of everyone!

He also followed the example of his superiors and waved it high three times, but except for the fifty officers on the 'One Blood Ship' who were cheering heartlessly, the rest of the officers all chose to ignore it. If it weren't for Director Tong staring at him, there would definitely be people cheering.

ps. The second more, write another more! Asking for a monthly pass!!
