"Zhang Guangzhe, you have to be clear that the new era is coming, and you must look farther."

Zhu You proofread this Zhang Guangzhe's consciousness, and he hated iron not steel, "Our fleet is a royal fleet that is going to crisscross the seas, not the Tianjin Navy Division where you used to be, any rules and regulations must be strictly implemented!" ”

He reprimanded Zhang Guangzhe seriously, and when he saw him in a cold sweat, Zhu Youxiao inspected the Port Arthur Naval Base again.

He found that the current technical level of the recruits and soldiers of this huge naval base is quite satisfactory.

Due to the combination of theoretical knowledge and practical operation, they can get started faster than the average person.

Their biggest advantage is that they are professional naval officers, who train during the day and study cultural classes at night, and have a full time schedule.

In addition, those teachers who are stationed in the barracks are all pragmatic teachers with some real materials, which can allow everyone to understand some of the laws of the sea in advance.

This is something that our predecessors have summed up with hundreds of years of experience and lessons.

All of a sudden, they have a lot more seafaring knowledge than those pirates, and they are not those pirates and other wild ways that can be compared.

However, for all the admirals, they have a huge obstacle until they have mastered the basic knowledge of navigation.

That is: literacy!

What, you are illiterate?

I'm sorry, if you don't have any culture, you have to work hard to learn to read, otherwise, you will be forced to retire.

In Port Arthur, the newly completed Royal Naval Academy of the Ming Dynasty has a special cultural teacher with a high salary, and you can go to study it day and night.

How can a person who doesn't know how to become a qualified admiral?

Therefore, for the vast majority of naval officers, the cultural class is the first thing to pass.

Most of these recruits and officers of the North Sea Fleet were illiterate, and Zhu Youxiao's request really stumped many people.

The teachers of the Naval Academy specially hired by Zhu Youxiao are also very powerful, at least they are all down-and-out talents with real materials, and there are also those experienced old navigators.

Due to his previous poverty, he took refuge in the new Ming court and served the new Ming Empire.

The Ming court treated them very well, and one person's salary could support their whole family.

One of their main tasks is to help the officers and men of the Ming Navy and Navy recruits to read and write.

Admirals, for example, must master at least 3,000 commonly used Chinese characters and understand the meaning of these characters before they can officially join the Royal Navy.

As for the poetry pairing, the eight-strand text and the like, it is not necessary.

Despite the difficulty of the cultural class, the officers and men of the Navy must persevere, unless they do not want to be a soldier.

In addition to these recruits, the soldiers of the original Tianjin Navy Division also performed quite well after joining the Royal Navy.

Some of the more ambitious young people also began to study in batches, starting with the most basic cultural courses such as the Three Character Classic, and striving to master the sufficient amount of Chinese characters needed for navigation.

After they pass the written examination, they can go to the selection of the Naval Officer Academy, and if they pass, they can proceed to officer training.

In fact, no matter what you do, as long as you have a ruthless spirit, it is not difficult.

In the past six months or so, the rapid development of the Ming Empire has been like this.

It is not difficult to control a warship and be literate, the key is whether you are willing to sweat, whether you are determined, and whether you are willing to study.

Staying on the boat every day, reading and reading every day, and practicing repeatedly, even a relatively stupid person can remember what he has to do, let alone be a normal person.

The same is true for the study of cultural classes, one by one, the Chinese characters do seem very unfamiliar, but as long as you are willing to put effort into it, they are not too difficult to master.

If you learn more than ten or twenty Chinese characters over and over again every day, you will be able to master a lot of Chinese characters in a few months.

The key is whether you are self-motivated or not.

Therefore, Zhang Guangzhe had just been euphemistically shouting difficulties and interceding for some soldiers who were not interested in literacy, and Zhu Youxiao immediately blocked this opening.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers have returned from training at sea." 127

Zhang Guangzhe pointed to the large and small ships that were speeding over from the distant sea, and introduced Zhu Youxiao.

"Good!"

Zhu Youxiao looked at the large and small ships that were speeding back with interest and nodded.

After a while, ships of all sizes began to dock in an orderly manner.

After the soldiers disembarked, when they saw the arrival of His Majesty the Emperor, a famous general, immediately commanded the soldiers to line up and reorganize the army to welcome His Majesty's review.

Because of the operation of many projects on the ship just now, a lot of sweat broke out on the soldiers' bodies.

The skin exposed by everyone outside their clothes is basically bronze, and the surface is also very smooth, and the beads of sweat rolling down can't stay on their bodies at all.

"See Your Majesty"

"Daming Wansheng!"

"Ten thousand years of the Ming Dynasty!" ……

For a time, the officers and men of the North Sea Fleet cheered thunderously and saluted Zhu Youxiao in a uniform and solemn manner.

To say that the previous naval officers and men knew His Majesty the Emperor was only limited to the words of others.

Then, after joining the Ming Royal Navy in the past two or three months, their understanding of Zhu Youxiao is to feel it personally.

The current warships of the North Sea Fleet are indeed not many, and the size of the warships is not very large, but they feel that in the Ming Royal Navy, their lives are countless times better than the original.

Let's take those original Tianjin sailors for example.

In the past, if you wanted to do things in Tianjin, it was simply impossible.

You don't have such a chance at all, everyone is messing around, they are all filling their pockets, eating and waiting for death.

There are all kinds of things, but no one is willing to fight to improve the combat effectiveness of the Tianjin Navy Division.

The entire Tianjin Navy Division was dying and lifeless, without any vitality and vitality at all.

The current North Sea Fleet is completely different, it is full of vitality, full of vitality, and full of the spirit of striving for progress.

Every naval soldier here is actively improving his skills and hoping to have a higher level of ship operation.

They are eager to fight the enemy, eager to build up their exploits, eager to be rewarded for their military exploits, and they will not be afraid of any enemy no matter how formidable.

In particular, the shipyard next door, which was working day and night to build warships, aroused their great interest.

In the past, due to the depletion of the imperial court's finances, the Tianjin Navy Division did not know how many years, and no new warships were built, and the latest ship was also launched many years ago.

Contrary to the original Tianjin Naval Division, the fleet of the Ming Royal Navy is growing rapidly.

They have already learned that in two months at the latest, forty-eight Leopard cruisers will be completed and delivered to the North Sea Fleet and the East China Sea Fleet.

This kind of incomparably powerful warships are all professional warships, and these brand-new warships that are purely used for combat make the soldiers blush and make their blood continue to surge.

Yes, they all want to fight, they all want to build up their fighting feats, especially those soldiers whose families have been harmed by Tartars or corrupt officials, and they want to avenge themselves and their ancestors.

Not to mention those recruits of the North Sea Fleet, now these officers and men of the North Sea Fleet are no worse than the Royal Guards in terms of salary and benefits.

The families of all the officers and men of the Royal Navy's North Sea Fleet were relocated to the nearby city of Arthur, which had just been completed, and were allocated large houses.

Those are well-decorated new houses, at least 200 square meters each, and everyone works here, and they are paid at least one tael of silver a month.

Not to mention himself, the lowliest soldier also has three taels of silver a month, and he also has food and shelter.

These lives like dreams happened to these soldiers of their own, how can they not be grateful to Zhu Youxiao, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty in front of him?

Now that they have seen His Majesty the Emperor, the soldiers are all enthusiastic and excited.

As long as His Majesty the Emperor's sword points to, the soldiers will definitely not hesitate to tear all the enemies apart!
