I originally wanted to make a move against the Dutch in Taiwan after the Chinese New Year, but I didn't expect to encounter a battle in advance and win, which is good news for Chen Zijian.

Zhang Lin stood beside Chen Zijian, and he didn't dare to come out, this time the navy lost the most, and for the first time since its establishment, he suffered more than half of the losses, which made him feel sorry for Chen Zijian.

Chen Zijian knew Zhang Lin's decision at that time, to separate the command of the battleship, and let each squad choose their own target to strike, this treatment is correct, the loss of the volunteers is not due to command errors, but the strength of the Dutch battleship itself, which is called the sea coachman, pressing Portugal and Spain, you must know that the global trade was first started by Portugal and Spain, and it was still surpassed by the Dutch, which shows the extraordinary strength of its sea power.

Chen Zijian: "Good job, it seems that it is right to hand over the navy to you, there are already dozens of warships being renovated, and after the completion of the training, we will step up training, and Taiwan Island will be taken as soon as possible, and it will be up to you to see the affairs of your navy." In addition, 5,000 volunteers will be allocated to you as a reserve. There will be rewards later, and you, as the captain of the navy, will not have a small credit. ”

"Yes, Chief."

For Chen Zijian's reward, as well as the expansion of the navy, Zhang Lin was happy in his heart, who doesn't want his brothers to be as many as possible, the navy has grown from less than a thousand people, because of this naval battle, it has expanded to five thousand people in an instant, and there are dozens of warships ready to take over.

Zhang Lin couldn't hold back the smile on his face, and laughed, the original strength of the navy was the strongest among the volunteers, and this strongest refers to the number of artillery, the number of guns on a search battleship is thirty, and the number of guns on the previous twenty-nine battleships is nearly nine hundred, which is more than several land corps.

After a big battle, the scale of the navy warships was expanded, and if you think about it, Zhang Lindu thinks about it in front of several army commanders than Li Xian.

Chen Zijian: "Don't be too happy, the battleship is given to you, give me a good job, in addition, your study should be accelerated, now you haven't even graduated from elementary school, how can you manage such a large navy in the future." ”

Speaking of studying, Zhang Lin became painful, not only Zhang Lin, Li Shi, Li Hu, Niu Sheng and several corps commanders, but also two scholars followed him and learned knowledge at any time, which was the privilege of being a corps commander.

You can imagine that if a few army commanders don't know a single character, how will they understand Chen Zijian's orders in the future and let the staff around them do so? In addition to being detrimental to secrecy, if the staff has any crooked thoughts and casually changes the order, a few guys will be stupid and can't tell the difference, and then do the wrong thing, how will Chen Zijian deal with them at that time.

Chen Zijian's study order made several regiment commanders cry bitterly, but they didn't dare to complain, so they could only follow the reading with a blank face, because Chen Zijian said that they could not graduate from primary school within half a year, and their positions would be lowered by one level, and at present, the highest position in the Volunteer Army, the commander, commanded 18,750 people.

If you can't keep up with your studies and are demoted by one level, you will be laughed at.

Sent Zhang Lin away, as the chief, Chen Zijian personally went to the wounded to take a look.

Chen Zijian has heard some news, from the former military households and the current volunteers, that some generals do not care about the wounded soldiers, and if they are ruthless, they may kill the wounded soldiers.

The place where the wounded stayed had been cleaned up, and the wounded volunteers had all been dealt with, and Chen Zijian came in and smelled a strong smell of alcohol, which was left behind to disinfect the wound.

Chen Zijian came in, followed by a group of high-ranking naval officials, making everyone stunned for a moment.

"Chief, what are you doing in a daze?"

Zhang Lin couldn't wait to go up and kick those guys a few times, didn't he see the chief coming.

"Hello Chief!"

The wounded at the scene, those who were slightly injured could stand up on their own and salute Chen Zijian, and those who could not get off the ground while lying on a stretcher raised their hands to salute.

Chen Zijian first stood still and returned the salute to everyone, which is the etiquette of the volunteers.

I have to say that Chen Zijian's simple action makes people feel warm, making the volunteers feel that they have not been ignored and are respected by the chief. According to the Daming etiquette law, Chen Zijian came in and the injured volunteers had to kneel down to salute, and now he salutes with his right hand, which is more acceptable Needless to say.

Chen Zijian: "Brothers are well recuperated, after you recover from your injuries, I will rely on my brothers to lay more territory for me, you have a lot of credit in this naval battle, I will remember your merits, and soon your merits will come down." ”

Everyone was happy when they heard it, what was everyone desperately for, wasn't it just to get promoted and make a fortune, Chen Zijian's personal promise that everyone would feel at ease.

The volunteer lying on the stretcher, his entire left leg was gone, lying there and raising his hand, Chen Zijian saw it, motioned for everyone to stop, and went over and said, "Brother, what's wrong with you." ”

"Chief, I know my situation, if you want to quit the Volunteers, please give me a day to live."

Hearing the wounded's question, everyone waited for Chen Zijian's answer, not only the volunteers, in fact, all the volunteers have such considerations, who dares to guarantee that he is a victorious general on the battlefield, maybe the next moment a cannonball will fly, and his life will be thrown there.

Chen Zijian said, "I think everyone wants to know about such a thing, so I will take advantage of everyone's doubts now and say, I have arranged the way out for the brothers who were injured and quit, and I will arrange for the brothers who can still walk to enter the factory, as a supervisor to supervise the problems of the factory for me, and if the people in the factory are found to be embezzling silver coins, they can report to me directly." If you have no feet and cannot move around, I will have you taught you a trade, eating with your hands. In addition, if you quit the Volunteer Army because of injury, each brother will receive an income of three silver coins in the future, and of course, fifty acres of military land as compensation. ”

Chen Zijian's compensation can be said to be very generous, first of all, because of the injury forced to quit the volunteers, no matter what they do in the future, they can receive three silver coins per month, if you don't want to be idle and have nothing to do, enter the factory as a supervisor, there will be another income, the income is not less than three silver coins, and finally there are fifty acres of military land as a guarantee, with such a family background, it is not easy to marry a wife.

Chen Zijian's order, the first time it was made public, it was still under consideration before, and today I took the opportunity to announce it, and the result was full of applause, and in the future, everyone has a security guarantee, and you can rest assured that you can fight in the front, and if you are lucky, you can be promoted to an official and make a fortune, and you will glorify your ancestors.

Chen Zijian said, "Today I will give the brothers who quit a way to make money, everyone knows that I want to produce a lot of canned food, canned food needs a lot of sea fish, brothers can take out a loan to buy a few boats to go to sea, ask someone to do things, or go into battle yourself, as long as you catch the fish back, I buy it with 20 yuan for a catty, everyone is out to sea, know how many fish there are in the sea!" At the end of the day, it's easy to catch five or six thousand catties of fish, think about how much money you can make! ”

"Also, this sea is our territory, and you are afraid that you will be bullied here."

Later, Chen Zijian made a little joke, and everyone laughed when they heard it, which washed away the original dull atmosphere, just kidding! Opponents like the Netherlands were defeated by the Volunteers, and that person dared to bully them here, although they withdrew from the Volunteers, but to say hello, there were not a large number of warships coming to support them. And Chen Zijian's way of making money has made everyone see the future prospects, uh, money! According to Chen Zijian, at the end of the day, catching five or six thousand catties of fish is less, one or two thousand catties of fish is normal, who let the fish in the sea not be caught on a large scale in this era!

Not to mention the catch of one or two thousand catties, that is, if you catch five or six thousand catties of fish and sell them to Chen Zijian's subordinate factories, you can earn more than 100 silver coins, which is more than what the volunteers earn.

Of course, they can get rich, but it is impossible to be promoted, but it is not bad to be a rich man in the future, of course, how to choose is their business, in short, the crippled volunteers do not have to worry about their future out.

Compared with getting rich, what everyone wants more is to be promoted, and compared to being promoted, getting rich is nothing. But they have quit the Volunteers, and it is good to be a rich man, so what do you want!

To appease the brothers, there is nothing to do here, Chen Zijian led people back to Zhangjiacheng, and there are other important things that he needs to arrange.
