Mo Zhinian smiled and said: "Actually, the old man has just perfected the prince's plan, it's just that." In fact, this is also beneficial to the prince's strategy, if the prince does not allow it, do not send a sailor to suppress the bandits, the consequence is that the Jiangnan merchants, Hu merchants, and Fanshang are worried about the damage to their property, and at the same time, the northern merchants are forced to be helpless, to the Qing court, and even do not hesitate to donate a huge amount of money, the Qing court will form a northern sailor, so that Wang Deren's department may really have big trouble. ”

Wu Zheng nodded slowly, Mo Zhi is right, the Manchurian people are not good at water, but there are more Han people in Jiangbei who are good at water.

As long as there is money, within a year, the Qing court will have a huge sailor.

And money, Beishang is not lacking.

Mo Zhinian saw that Wu Zheng agreed with his words, and continued: "But if the prince agrees, it will not only appease the merchants and foreign merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, but at the same time, because the waters are too peaceful, the northern merchants will naturally no longer want to donate the silver in their pockets, in the eyes of the merchants, the matter that can be settled with 100,000 taels will never be 110,000 taels, not to mention the millions or even millions of taels required to form a water division...... Lord, do you think so? ”

Wu Zheng nodded and said, "Makes sense!" You go back and tell Zhang Mingzhen and ask him to come to see the king. ”

……。

Twenty-five days into the training, Chen Shoujie sent a training grenade filled with sand.

This quantity and size have basically met Wu Zheng's requirements.

As a result, a new training subject for the soldiers was added, bomb throwing.

However, Wu Zhengzhen has no say in this subject, and after only one round, the results are not as important as Wu Zheng.

Forty-eight people, plus four people such as Chi Erhan, none of them were below thirty steps.

And Lu Jincai's achievements can only be described as terrifying, reaching forty-five steps away.

Wu Zheng was marginalized, and in order to strengthen his existence, Wu Zheng temporarily set another standard - accuracy.

As a result, the reality was very slap in the face, and Wu Zheng's own results also fell near the middle line again, which made Wu Zheng very annoyed.

But in fact, in the minds of the soldiers, it no longer matters.

At this time, Wu Zheng, in their minds, has become an idol, because Wu Zheng taught them the honor of soldiers.

It taught them how to uphold the honor.

They are no longer the sons of a hoeing farmer, the son of a street merchant, or the son of a craftsman who bends his waist for five buckets of rice.

They have a common name - military.

……。

Thirty days of training expires.

This competition, which has been canceled by Wu Zheng, is still going on as scheduled.

It's not that Wu Zheng needs this competition, but the soldiers who participated in the training need it.

Because they are looking forward to this competition to prove that they are the strongest.

There are four subjects in the competition, weightlifting, running, shooting, and stabbing, all of which are practical subjects.

Wu Zheng and Fang Guoan sat in the stands, smiling and talking.

But when Fang Guoan's fifty people entered the field.

Wu Zheng opened his mouth wide, pointed at Fang Guoan and scolded: "Fang Guoan, you dare to play yin?" ”

Fang Guoan laughed and said, "Lord Wang, you have a good plan, I have a wall ladder." ”

Wu Zheng was speechless.

Among the fifty people who entered, there was a man who could hardly be called human.

Let's put it this way, Lu Jincai's figure is already considered to be the leader of this era, so compared with this person, whether it is height or physique, it is just like the proportion of Wu Zheng and Lu Jincai standing together.

Wu Zheng snorted maliciously: "I have long said that in the future, the battlefield will no longer be a single individual martial arts exercise...... Know what a team is? Do you know what a fit is? Rely on this kind of little trick to win, Fang Guoan, you need to learn. ”

What a serious statement.

Fang Guoan replied repeatedly: "Yes, the prince is right, and his subordinates have been taught." ”

Wu Zheng looked at the team entering the arena and suddenly asked, "What's this guy's name?" ”

Fang Guoan was stunned for a moment, then coughed dryly and said, "My subordinates don't remember." ”

Wu Zheng pointed his finger at Fang Guoan and said, "Look, you're stingy, aren't you?" Are you going to pry the corner of the wall? ”

Fang Guoan said leisurely: "Could it be ...... Isn't it? ”

Wu Zheng sighed, "This king is a pity, this kid is tall and big, and he wastes it on the battlefield, but he is a follower and uses everything ......." ”

Looking at Fang Guoan's strange face, Wu Zheng's words came to an abrupt end.

With a dry cough, Wu Zheng said: "Don't worry, this king just asks ...... casually." ”

The recruits, who formed a three-mile-long wall under the stage, suddenly let out a burst of cheers.

Wu Zheng stretched out his head to see that the fifty-two people he had trained had entered, of course, according to the previous agreement, Chi Erhan and the other four people only led the team to enter, and they did not participate in the competition.

The pace and movements that are as neat as a person, this awe-inspiring momentum makes everyone watching cheer.

Wu Zheng glanced at Fang Guoan proudly, and said, "Didn't General Fang let people come to steal the teacher to learn the art before, why, didn't let the fifty people who let you also practice the queue?" ”

Fang Guoan said in a sullen voice: "My subordinates want to practice, but I'm afraid that the fifty people who practice under my subordinates will steal the limelight from the prince today...... In case the prince gets angry, it won't be beautiful. ”

Fang Guoan is really not bragging, originally, as long as the queue is right, it can be practiced.

In addition, Fang Guoan's fifty people were selected by him first, and his physical fitness should be higher than Wu Zheng's.

Like Lu Jincai, in Fang Guoan's team, he can only be regarded as an upper-middle level.

Wu Zheng rolled his eyes and ignored this guy.

The competition begins.

In weightlifting, Wu Zheng's team was obviously not the opponent of Fang Guoan's team, so Lu Jincai made a face for Wu Zheng, and the results were self-evident.

Running, Wu Zheng has not practiced well in thirty days, except for eliminating a disobedient one on the first day and using it to make an example of the monkey, so there is no suspense.

Both battles were lost.

The contrast was too great, and the recruits who originally cheered for Wu Zheng's team also shamelessly began to cheer for Fang Guoan's team.

Fortunately, Wu Zheng had already told the soldiers about the results, so the soldiers' spirits were not greatly affected.

After the shooting test began, the two sides quickly got into the groove.

To Wu Zheng's surprise, there were 98 people on both sides of the 40-step target, each with ten shots, but none of them missed the target, and the fight was a draw.

Then, there is no need to compare, Wu Zheng's side has already lost.

Wu Zheng's eyes rolled, and he turned his head and praised Fang Guoan, "General Fang has good skills and good means." ”

Fang Guoan laughed and said, "The prince has won the award...... Assignment and Assignment. ”

Wu Zheng raised his head and said, "It's just that these forty steps are too close, right?" According to the agreement before the training, we tried to be 60 steps and 80 steps, but General Fang has now changed to 40 steps, which is inevitably a little weak-hearted. ”
