The shipyard received a notice from Chen Zijian that 50 of the 150 lucky ships launched were converted into fishing boats, and the remaining 100 ships were converted into warships, and the rest were converted into transport ships.

All ships need to be delivered before the New Year, and the front has asked Zhang Lin to train his navy, a three-person model, that is, a position of three people training, the advantage of this is that with the new ship can quickly form combat effectiveness.

Chen Zijian's document made the shipyard rush to work, the shipyard as Chen Zijian's key support factory, the personnel remained sufficient, Chen Zijian's urgent order shipyard can steadily speed up the work, there is no chaos.

Speaking of the production mode of the shipyard, it belongs to a belt of two hundred, which means that a lucky ship is built, and a person in charge takes two hundred employees to do things, how many lucky ships does Chen Zijian need, and the order is given to the shipyard director, and the shipyard director then approves the person in charge to build the ship, and the master who can be the person in charge is a first-class good hand in shipbuilding, if there is no good craftsmanship, it is impossible to be the person in charge.

The ship is easy to do, as long as there are enough people, but the soldiers are not easy to find, Chen Zijian wants another kind of soldiers, that is, the familiar marines in later generations, needless to say, if you want to find enough marines, plus the time is a little rushed, you can only choose among a few legions.

It is still very easy to find 5,000 marines in the legion, they have a talent than the volunteers, that is, they do not get seasick, they can have such an ability, they can drift at sea, especially a wooden ship with a tonnage of less than 200 tons like the Fu ship, if they are seasick, they will have no combat effectiveness after going ashore, which is unbearable, and the marines will fight after logging in, go up to overturn the enemy and capture the enemy.

What if they get seasick and go ashore with weak hands and feet, and go to be beheaded by the enemy?

Another document was sent, and when it arrived at the barracks, it caused the surprise of all the volunteers, and the chief wanted to set up a new branch of troops, what is it called the Marine Corps! Because the volunteers were taught to read and write when they were free, most of Chen Zijian's documents could be understood by the volunteers themselves.

It is only when they understand that everyone is surprised, the Marines are selected from the Minnie spearmen, and the volunteers who failed to be selected before the Minnie gunners do not have this opportunity, and the Marines are all equipped with guns, if there are no Minnie guns, it is useless to choose, everyone is mainly using Minnie guns, what is that spear.

"Brother, do you see, the monthly money of the Marine Corps is added to the original with two silver coins."

Another volunteer answered, "Alas, people are more popular than death, Lao Tzu went to choose a spearman last time, but his eyes were not good, he said that he was not up to standard and was returned, and the gun in the back was not touched, and this time there was no Lao Tzu's share." ”

After speaking, he rubbed his eyes angrily, they were all damn eyes, and their eyesight was much worse than other people's cars, was there a chance this time, this volunteer army was still the original Mitsubishi spearmen, and they belonged to the bottom of the volunteer army, their monthly money plus welfare, there was no combat mission in peacetime, and there were five silver coins a month, which was much stronger than that of ordinary people outside.

For the people who work for Chen Zijian, there are four silver coins in a month, and there are usually only three silver coins, plus meat rewards.

But there is a good saying, people are better than people, angry people, Mitsubishi spearmen are at the bottom, there are other types of troops that are better than them, volunteer artillery, the basic monthly money five silver coins, plus the reward down, a comprehensive seven silver coins, this is the premise that there is no combat mission, there is a combat mission, artillery attacks the enemy, and they are rewarded more for making contributions, and the specific amount is based on the size of the merit.

The monthly coin of the Minutemen's musketeers is also five silver coins, and the bonus is also seven silver coins. The Mitsubishi gunners can only cry at the bottom, when fighting, they can get the least credit, there is no way, when the enemy charges, first by the artillery to a few rounds of shelling, close to the rear of the shotgun, and then go in a hundred to one hundred and fifty meters away from the Minnie gunners to shoot collectively, so that a few times, can have the courage to rush to the enemy in front of the Mitsubishi gunners, uh, credit. But in fact, it was turned over several times by the artillery and musketeers, and the next thing was to capture the prisoners, and there was no such thing as the enemy rushing to the front of them, and the Mitsubishi gunners could only catch the prisoners and get the last faint credit, so it can be said that they were the most tragic volunteers.

Now Chen Zijian has set up a new class, and once perfectly avoided the Mitsubishi spearmen, making them want to cry without tears. Is it okay to be fair, chief? Could it be that the Mitsubishi spearmen were raised by their stepmothers. The status of the Mitsubishi gunners is almost the same as that of the logistics transport team. The logistics troops of the volunteers are some people with poor physical fitness, their physical fitness cannot keep up with the training requirements of the volunteers, and they do not want to leave the ranks of the volunteers, and then there are logistics soldiers.

The Marines are fighting at sea as the name sounds, and there are seven silver coins per month, and there are nine silver coins in total, which is much stronger than ordinary volunteers.

Chen Zijian sat in the office, turning the pen in his hand, now his identity is different, a document from here may change the fate of a person and a country, and Chen Zijian is under a lot of pressure to grasp this feeling of life and death.

Now he made a decision, and immediately more than 300,000 people were mobilized for him to drive, this is still less than a year after the development of Zhangjiacheng, and in a few years, maybe the population in the territory will exceed one million, what a huge population base!

It was now that Chen Zijian had made a plan to capture the island of Taiwan, and the volunteers and factories below immediately took action, showing the strong strength of initial industrialization, which was much stronger than the traditional agricultural society.

It is not easy to control the fate of many people, the plan is okay if it goes well, there will be huge benefits, if the plan changes and does not meet the requirements of the task, it will be troublesome later.

Attacking Taiwan, Chen Zijian can foresee that he will collide with two strong enemies at sea, and the Volunteer Navy has been established for less than three months, and it can win the pirates before it, and it will crush the pirates purely by weapons.

A naval warship has thirty guns, and now there are more than twenty warships patrolling the sea, that pirate dares to face such a weapon, and the development of pirates can only result in surrender, otherwise it will be sunk, and the navy can face small force pirates, but when encountering Dutch or Zheng Zhilong pirates in Fujian, the result is unpredictable.

Zheng Zhilong's work on the sea surface of the Ming Dynasty was prosperous, and he dared to say that people had no brains, and he could compete with the Netherlands, and his strength should not be underestimated. The Netherlands is even more awesome, the maritime overlord of the earth today, and later generations called the Netherlands the sea coachman during this period, monopolizing most of the earth's maritime trade.

Chen Zijian thought of some ways to deal with the two forces, Zheng Zhilong's sea power is actually a larger pirate, relying on the advantage of numbers to compete with the Netherlands, Zheng Zhilong's ships are mostly small boats, because the imperial court implements a policy of banning the sea, in the case of the decline of the overall environment, Zheng Zhilong has no way to build a big ship, plus they have not mastered the artillery production technology, and the naval battle mainly relies on human sea tactics. The other Dutch fleet is powerful, but if they want to maintain global trade, it is impossible for them to pull all their belongings to East Asia, only a small part exists, and last time Chen Zijian plundered a fleet, and there are even fewer fleets in East Asia.

Knowing their strengths and weaknesses makes it much easier to deal with them.

Chen Zijian was thinking about things on the map, what he didn't know was that the navy was facing a life-and-death naval battle.

A Dutch East India Company fleet departed from Jakarta and headed for the island of Taiwan, of course, they called Taiwan differently, but the purpose was to establish a stronghold on the island of Taiwan.

The main export trade included sugar, deerskin, venison, antlers, rattan, and rice, and the transshipment trade included metals and medicinal materials from the Netherlands, spices, pepper, amber, linen, cotton, opium, tin, and lead from Batavia, and silk fabrics, pottery, gold, and silk from China.

The island of Taiwan was an important trading point for the Netherlands, having lost contact for half a year, even with unresponsive officials. also knew what was wrong, and then transferred the fleet from elsewhere to form a large fleet and go to the island of Taiwan.

Zhang Lin took the new fleet and trained day and night at sea, searching for pirate strongholds, whether he could find pirates was not a problem, and the reason for going to sea was to be familiar with the operation of warships. Pirates just do things in passing, and when they find them, they shell them, and that kind of thing is simple.

Zhang Lin's location was on the Yangjiang Sea in eastern Guangdong Province, and the Dutch fleet was going to Taiwan, and the collision between the two was satisfied. By the way, in these years, ships sailing on the sea, mainly close to the coastline, will not be too far from the sea line, otherwise the direction is wrong, sailing into the vast Pacific Ocean, that is gone forever.

When a nascent maritime force and a maritime hegemon meet, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and one sea cannot tolerate two ships.

On the mast, the Volunteers have been using binoculars to observe the surrounding sea, and the weather is clear, and you can see the distant horizon, which is the best environment for visibility on the sea.

A large fleet appeared, and the volunteer soldiers immediately reported it to Zhang Lin.
