After Zhao Yu prescribed the medicine, most of the patients survived. Under his care, mosquito nets were now distributed in every camp tent, every soldier wore a mosquito repellent sachet around his waist, all the lowlands of the camp were filled in, and drainage channels with ditch covers were built to reduce mosquito breeding. After the implementation of a series of measures, the incidence of malaria has been greatly reduced, and the number of new patients is under control. However, this time, the honor of the miracle doctor belongs to Hao Yuntong, and he has gained a firm foothold in the medical hospital with this, and he no longer has to act with fear and look at the eyes of others.

The Duzuo Academy, which has always been deeply cared for by Zhao Yu, has not only participated in large-scale coastal defense construction, but also stepped up its own construction; Now the first batch of knives, guns, bows and crossbows have been produced by weapons; The gunpowder production has also been put into production, and high-explosive black powder has been trial-produced and subdivided to assemble different firearms; He worked day and night to complete the production of mosquito nets, and sewed two sets of military uniforms for each officer and soldier of the whole army, and replaced them with miscellaneous old clothes; Armor production has also begun, but it is still mainly to repair the old armor captured and collected, and now the front-line patrolling units have been issued leather armor, and the officers above the head have been issued iron armor.

Of course, the busiest is the shipyard, most of the warships of the Shuaifu Navy are civilian ships and merchant ships, although they can also be used for combat, but after all, there is a meaning of improvisation, but fighting a war is not a makeshift thing, so Zhao Yu demanded that it must be transformed, otherwise it will not be allowed to enter service. This is also fortunate that the development of maritime commerce in Qiongzhou has led to the development of repair and shipbuilding, and many skilled craftsmen have been trained, so all these people have been recruited to participate in it in order to ensure the progress of the project.

What excites Zhao the most is that the ten turtle boats were completed on schedule. In order to ensure that combat effectiveness can be formed as soon as possible, while organizing simulated training on the road, he also ordered the Destroyer Army to select a group of officers and men to get on board the ship during the renovation period to familiarize themselves with the structure of the ship and the purpose of each part. After they can master various skills, they will take on the responsibility of training newcomers, and Zhao Yu wants to ensure that the Destroying Front Army will become an army as soon as possible by bringing the old with the new.

Therefore, when the first turtle ship was launched, the entire ship, from the sailors to the captain in charge, were officers, and all of them were overmatched. That is, there are several deputies in one position, and there are five deputy captains alone, and if Zhao Yu is not worried about an accident during the trial, he would like to let all the captains of the ten warships go on board for internship. In the end, after careful consideration, he still made a half, otherwise the ship would sink, and the officers of the entire Destroyer Army would lose more than half, and he really couldn't afford such losses.

When the new ship was launched, in addition to these intern officers, there were also scribes sent by the marshal's office according to the custom. This time, these people were tasked not only with the usual performance of each participant, but also with the performance of the ship in various sea conditions. For example, in the case of favorable winds and good sea conditions, the speed at which the boat is driven by sails and oars, and the maximum speed when the sails and oars are used together, etc. His Highness had drawn up the corresponding forms in advance, indicating the items and standards to be recorded, and they only needed to fill them out truthfully according to the actual situation.

Zhao Hao, who was unable to participate in the sea trials, was able to evaluate the various performance of the ship based on the collected data, so as to determine which areas should be improved, which aspects should be paid attention to, and which behaviors should be absolutely prohibited. As the data accumulates increases, it is possible to compile the corresponding code of operation, and then edit the battle manual accordingly, so that you can know when you can sail, when you can go into battle, what tactics you can use in battle, how to respond to danger, and so on.

Zhao Hao did this out of helplessness and forced by the situation. He knew that most of the military talents in ancient times were born in the army and fought hard with a gun and a knife, and most of these warriors had no ink in their stomachs, and many of them were even illiterate, resulting in many of their experiences being passed on by words and deeds. The rise of many armies often appears with the emergence of famous generals, and once they die, the army will soon decline, which is not only the personal charm of the generals, but also the problem of inheritance and generational discontinuity.

Everyone also knows that the ancient military books are very general, emphasizing strategy over tactics. In addition, before the Han Dynasty, the distinction between civil and military generals was not as strict as that of later generations, and the distinction between civil and military was only due to the difference in positions. After the Han and Tang dynasties, it was difficult for military generals to have the glory of the past, and they relied more on their personal talent and courage to gain fame. Even after the Song Dynasty, military training and selection of military generals were set up, but more attention was paid to courage and strategic tactics were neglected. This is also the reason why there are very few famous generals in history who have entered the military, and more of them are from the army like Di Qing, Yue Fei, and Han Shizhong.

Zhao Hao knows the Achilles' heel of the Shuaifu Army, and there are really few generals who really understand military affairs except Ying Jieyan and Jiang Xuan, even if Zhao Mengjin was only a deputy general in the past, and his soldiers were thousands of people, so he used his courage more than his strategy. This is especially true of the grassroots generals at the bottom, many of them were squires and farmers before joining the army of the Marshal's Mansion, and many people did not have military knowledge, and they gathered a group of people with enthusiasm and prestige, and became officers in a blink of an eye.

However, in the war, there were tens of thousands of casualties, and the most casualties were also among the grassroots officers who were the backbone of the army. However, Zhao Yu now has no ability or conditions to establish a military academy, so he can only train officers through short-term intensive training, but they are still far from a qualified officer by supplementing the basic knowledge of the army. In particular, the naval army, compared with the infantry army, is a technical branch, the situation is more complex, it takes longer to accumulate experience, and it is really not easy to train a new person, once there are casualties, there will be no one to replace them.

Zhao Yu now accumulates experience by sending scribes to record every detail of his training. He can analyze a variety of data to find out which training method is the best, the operation method is simple and effective, eliminate the bad, leave the good and summarize a set of systematic training programs, everyone does it. In order to produce qualified products like a production line, to achieve the purpose of accelerating the training of talents. Of course, this method also has flaws, it is easy to make people's thinking solidified, lack of creativity, and make the army's tactics rigid and inflexible, but this is the most appropriate way to solve the problem at present......
