"Poof!"

The model of the clipping boat was returning to the big pier, and before it docked, the soldiers were surprised to find that Zhong Jixiang, the commander of the Seven Killing Legion Division, who was called "bandits" by the soldiers, actually jumped into the Zheng of the Datong River

Obviously, although this guy has been a horse bandit for three generations, he is extremely fond of swimming and playing in the water, to the point of fascination.

Now, because it was the first time I sailed by boat, I was too excited, so I jumped into the river to vent my excitement.

"Hahaha!"

"Old bandit, wait for me! I'm coming too! ”

"That's right! I'm going to try it out with this battleship and see who's faster! ”……

All of a sudden, more than a dozen generals of the Guards who were stimulated by Zhong Jixiang and screamed took off their clothes and armor one by one, jumped into the river one after another, and desperately chased the flying clippers.

The result is obvious, even if the clipper is slowing down and landing now, it is not human power to catch up.

It's about the same as the four mutant dogs, and their speed is definitely faster than the flying clippers that are traveling at full strength.

The cold water of the river did not affect these vigorous Guards generals, and after they went ashore one by one, they went to change into clean clothes without hurry, and then turned back to the big pier.

Suddenly, Zhong Jixiang, whose hair was still a little wet, strode straight in front of Zhu Youxiao, made a military salute with a "snap", and looked at the emperor with fixed eyes:

"Your Majesty, our Boy Guards will also have a navy in the future, right?"

"It's definitely going to be Sakura"

Zhu Youxiao cut the road categorically.

He had already planned that in the future, the Ming Royal East China Sea Fleet would be formed by the officers and men of the Boy Guard, and the rest of the North Sea Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet would be formed by those adult naval officers who were now formed.

In any case, as the boy guards of the sub-army, they must have what the other troops have, and if the other troops do not have it, the guards must also have Sakura

This kind of configuration can be called a veritable sub-pro-army.

"Your Majesty! Chancellor wants to enter the navy! ”

Zhong Jixiang was overjoyed and immediately put forward his own request.

"Oh?"

Zhu Youxiao looked at this "bandit" with interest, and said noncommittally, "You have to think clearly, if you choose the navy now, the division commander of the Seven Killing Legion will not be you." ”

"Also, the navy of the Boy Guards has not yet begun to be formed, everything has to be started from scratch, and no one knows what the future will be."

Zhu Youxiao wanted to see how obsessed he was with the sea for three generations of his ancestors, and teased.

"Don't be afraid!"

Zhong Jixiang said loudly, "If the division commander is not right, it is not appropriate, and the minister just likes to paddle, whether it is sea water or river water!" ”

Stroke?

Paddle you big-headed ghost!

Do you know what paddling means, you "bandit"?

Lao Tzu scratches your face, it's almost the same!

Zhu Youxiao is angry and funny.

"Okay then."

He couldn't bear to refuse this guy who was extremely obsessed with rivers, lakes and seas, "Since this is the case, then remove you from the position of division commander of the Seven Killing Legions." ”

"Zhong Jixiang!"

Colonel Zhu You shouted, "Now I order you to be the commander of the East China Sea Fleet of the Ming Royal Navy!" ”

"The East China Sea Fleet is also a legion, with three divisions under its jurisdiction, with a total of 90,000 people!"

"All the officers and men of the Royal East Sea Fleet, you are to recruit among the orphans who are now undergoing military training and physical recuperation."

"Now, there are more than 800,000 orphans, who have been gathered in the orphan area in the west of Tongzhou City, distributed in the Zheng of thirteen large farms."

"But remember, you have to remember that it's better to have less than to have more. ”

Zhu Youxiao suddenly shouted loudly, and continued in a solemn tone, "I will supply you with unlimited armor, money, food and other materials, and you must train me a fleet worthy of a war in the East China Sea within a year!" ”

"Otherwise, don't be the commander of the Eastern Navy Fleet, just wait to the end and go back to Liaodong to play in the mud!"

He had to put pressure on the guy.

After all, this Zhong has a criminal record.

Can you still expect that even three generations of ancestors are horse spinning guys, how much awe will there be for the imperial court?

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao had to beat him for a while, so as not to make a mess of him.

A year later, if he really can't be the commander of the East China Sea Fleet, Zhu Youxiao will definitely kick him out of the army and really let him go back to Liaodong to play in the mud.

Even so, Colonel Zhu Youxiao decided to let the Military Intelligence Bureau follow up on the formation and training of the three major naval fleets.

As soon as someone is found to be incompetent, he will be kicked out of the army immediately and pushed to the end.

There is no way, the formation and training of these three major naval fleets are more important to the Ming Empire than the huge army, so Zhu Youxiao is not cautious.

"Yes!"

Zhong Jixiang, this guy, now got what he wanted, completely ignored the envious looks of the generals next to him, immediately bowed and received the order loudly!

Now that he had got what he wanted, he was afraid that the emperor would change his mind, so he immediately said goodbye to everyone and left happily.

He can't wait to select talents to form his own East China Sea Fleet.

Thinking of taking a large fleet of clippers in the future to bombard and kill the enemy and rob those enemies and foreign maritime merchants at sea, he was so excited that he trembled slightly.

After all, for an ancestor who has been a native spun for three generations, robbery has been carved into his bones, and now he is ordered to rob, or to rob with a large number of warships!

What bandits are still as majestic as they will be in the future?

At this moment, Zhong Jixiang felt that he was about to embark on the peak of his life, and when he became the CEO, he was about to marry Bai Fumei.

This maxim also came out of the mouth of the emperor.

He felt that this maxim was not in himself!

"Then again, in a few years, Lao Tzu has made some achievements, and he is also going to marry a Bai Fumei!"

……

After the battleship model was sent to the Lushun shipyard with his secret decree in an expedited manner, Zhu Youxiao returned to his original life trajectory.

However, the sixteenth day of the first lunar month was the day he set to lead the Boy Guards to go out again, and he couldn't do it even if he wanted to.

All kinds of state affairs and preparations for the expedition are being arranged and implemented in full swing, but he is getting more and more busy, and he can't stop at all.

There is no way, who made him the emperor of a huge empire?

It's still a one-tongue man. The Great Emperor with absolute authority.

There are too many things that he has to sign and nod before they can be officially promulgated and implemented.

However, compared with Yan Yingyuan, the royal governor, Zhu Youxiao is undoubtedly much easier.

Yan Yingyuan's Government Council is still training civil officials on a large scale and expanding rapidly.

Civil officials at all levels, as soon as they graduate from the Royal School of Government, take up their posts immediately.

Come to think of it, in the second half of this year, the government affairs model at all levels has formed a fixed model and routine, and at that time, whether it is Zhu Youxiao or Yan Yingyuan, it will be much easier.

Just now, Cao Wenzhao and Wang Qinian respectively reported the good news with the battle chicken: the Qilin Legion and the Vermilion Bird Legion, and the expansion operation was going very smoothly.

The officers and men of the two field regiments, after entering Hejian Mansion and Baoding Mansion respectively, pushed all the way sideways, and almost all of the big towns and big landlords fell in despair, and did not encounter any fierce resistance.

It's just that the two corps commanders have encountered the same situation: in these two state capitals, nearly half of the big landlords, large and medium-sized families, and civil and military officials have all played the trick of the disappearance of the whole family!

Before the imperial army reached these two state capitals, they dragged their families and families with their wealth, and ran away to the Jiangnan area.

Therefore, the work of cleaning up, screening, raiding homes and exterminating ethnic groups was carried out in a somewhat anticlimactic manner, and not too much money, food, armor and other materials were obtained.

Of course, those civil and military officials and powerful families, their fields, large estates, shops, mines, and other fixed assets cannot be taken away.

And these fixed assets are the majority, and they are much more useful than those gold, silver, treasures and other goods.

In this regard, Zhu Youxiao had expected it, so he was not surprised.

He understood.

Those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, the family is powerful, and they are not fools.

Especially those notorious and destined to be raided and cleaned up, are the powerful and corrupt officials who don't run away, are they waiting to die?

It's normal to run away, and if they don't run away when they are dying, they are undoubtedly stupid.

"Humph......"

Zhu Youxiao put down the secret report in his hand and snorted coldly, "Running away? You only have three or five years left at most, so you can breathe for a while. ”

"In a few years, the entire Ming Empire will belong to Lao Tzu, see where you can go!"
