If he could choose a career, Wei Bao's most wanted profession was not a pirate, he wanted to be a captain, driving a giant ship around the world to travel and do business.

Proper business, not banditry.

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty in the 16th and 17th centuries, the southeast coast of China was a world of pirates.

There are Chinese pirates, Japanese pirates, Portuguese pirates, Spanish pirates, Dutch pirates, and many more. At that time, there was no clear distinction between merchants and thieves, and when there was business, it was business (smuggling), and when there was no business, it was theft.

Sometimes they rob each other, and sometimes they go ashore to rob each other.

When the sea ban is widened, pirates become maritime merchants; When the sea is banned, the maritime merchants become pirates.

Because the Ming Dynasty's maritime ban was very strict, China's maritime commercial capital had no way out, so it could only be pirates, so these pirates can also be called "maritime groups".

Wei Bao originally named the various guild halls of the Tiandi Firm as the Maritime Chamber of Commerce Pavilion, which was in mind.

These pirate (Shang) groups were very powerful, and they could even influence the political and military situation of the Ming Dynasty.

The folk pirates have amassed great wealth by relying on various forms of sea livelihood, and have a strong armed team, which once controlled the trade routes and became a force to be reckoned with at sea.

Before the Opium War, the British did not dare to provoke Chinese pirates. Their strength, equipment, size, and combat effectiveness had a great deterrent effect on the British.

And some of the leaders of the Chinese pirates in the past generations have shown no less resourcefulness and decisiveness in many battles than the elites of the ruling class who are clever and capable of fighting well.

In the 35th year of Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty (1556), the great pirate king sent a message to the Ming government, expressing his willingness to obey the order and help exterminate the displaced people in Songjiang, and hoped to exchange this for the Ming government's promise to open up coastal trade.

Zheng Chenggong's father, Zheng Zhilong, was the leader of the Chinese pirate (merchant) group, and he pretended to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, but in fact he wanted to eliminate other pirate gangs and dominate the Chinese coast.

Zheng Zhilong's subordinates reached 100,000 people, and he was the "giant" of the world's pirates at that time.

Later, Zheng Chenggong seized the island of Taiwan from the Dutch as an anti-Qing base, and the main force was Zheng Zhilong's pirate group.

The Chinese pirates of the mid-Ming Dynasty were different from modern pirates in that they represented an emerging power in commerce.

Unfortunately, these commercial forces were not mature, and the Zheng group did not continue to develop business after arriving in Taiwan, but exchanged money for land, missing the opportunity to establish a maritime trading empire.

"History of the Ming Dynasty: The Biography of the Franc Machine" records that the Franc machine is dangerous and the weapons are the most sophisticated, and no overseas people dare to confront it. "Franco" is the name of Portugal, Spain and other countries in the Ming Dynasty.

At the beginning of the 16th century, the Portuguese colonists sailed to the Far East, preparing to invade China, in a vain attempt to "exterminate the Cantonese people and seize the whole of China".

In the twelfth year of Ming Zhengde (1517 AD), Portuguese colonists invaded Dongguan County, Guangdong, occupied Tuen Mun Island, stole travelers, plundered merchant ships, robbed young women by the sea, and abducted Chinese to be used as slaves in India and Europe.

These criminal acts have aroused the anger of the people of Qiongzhou. In May of the forty-third year of Jiajing (1564 AD), three Portuguese ships berthed in front of the port.

When the pirate Shi He learned of this, he led his troops to attack the Portuguese ship, wounding the ship and breaking its mast, and had to retreat to the inner harbor to seek the protection of the Ming Dynasty government.

At this time, Gao Zhuo, the commander of Qiongzhou in the Ming Dynasty, sided with the Portuguese. He commanded the officers and soldiers of his subordinate to dispatch together with the Li soldiers led by Tusi Wang Shaolin to attack the Shihe fleet. However, Shi He set up an ambush to defeat the officers and soldiers, and Gao Zhuo fled alone.

"Unlike Western rulers who relied on the power of pirates to expand their overseas colonies, the attitude of China's feudal rulers towards Chinese pirates was either to recruit security and confine, or to ruthlessly strangle them even if they were far away.

Like the 'Overlord of the Seven Seas' Chen Zuyi, the 'King of the Pure Sea' Wang Zhi, and Zheng Chenggong's father Zheng Zhilong, most of the powerful pirates came to the hands of the rulers, and most of them did not end well.

And when they go into exile and hope to take root in Southeast Asia and other places, they will also be persecuted by Western colonizers and various forces.

If the Ming and Qing dynasties had been able to truly harness the power of Chinese pirates, the area of China today would be unimaginable.

Zheng He, who returned from the voyage that year, presented Chen Zuyi, the pirate leader captured in the old port, to Ming Chengzu Zhu Di.

At the solemn ceremony of presenting prisoners, in the praise of hundreds of civil and military officials and envoys from various countries, Ming Chengzu ordered Chen Zuyi's head to be beheaded.

In Wei Bao's view, this is not only Chen Zuyi's head, but also the lifeblood of China's rise on the ocean.

Compared with other seafaring powers such as Spain, Portugal, and Britain at that time, the process of their rise was to make full use of the civil power at sea, and the imperial court not only did not pay attention to it, but also tried every possible way to eliminate it.

From the perspective of Western historians, it is entirely possible that these traitors and rogues who have been annihilated in the official history of China will become maritime heroes on a par with Columbus, Magellan, and Drake.

Similar to Chen Zuyi's fate, Wang Zhi, the number one pirate in the Ming Dynasty.

On December 25, the 38th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, Wang Zhi was "recruited", and he was still in the dark, and he was sent by the prison to be carried to the court in a sedan chair.

The maritime empire he had built was destroyed by the intrigues of the imperial court.

Wang Zhi is a typical representative of Chinese pirates, and he has done his business at sea to the extreme. He lived in the era when Chinese piracy was most frequent, and the times made heroes, but he also had the weaknesses of typical Chinese pirates, so it led to his final fate.

According to historical records, at the height of Wang Zhi's heyday, the total trade volume of his fleet exceeded that of Zhejiang and Fujian, the most important trading provinces of the Ming Dynasty at that time.

The trade route is not passable, the merchant loses his physiology, so he turns to the coward, the stricter the sea ban, the more prosperous the thief gang. Compared with the Qing Dynasty's seclusion, although the Ming Dynasty did not interrupt overseas trade, the rulers brought the business into their own hands and forced the people to "not go to the sea with a piece of sail".

As a result, the coastal people, who had relied on the sea for generations, were suddenly laid off by policy.

It turned out that the fishing and commercial industries that had been quite prosperous since the Song Dynasty were "shut down and transferred", and the Ming government was difficult to solve the problem of "re-employment", and the people were faced with the dilemma of "entering and dying, retreating and dying".

On the other hand, due to the urgent need for all kinds of goods in Japan and Southeast Asia, "smuggling" has become a lucrative business, and the price difference between a knife sold from China to Japan can reach ten times. Many people along the coast have been involved in "illegal" marine livelihoods.

"China's laws are strict, and the ban is often broken. Kodi only accepts sour rot and has no strong man, and I wander around overseas, so why not touch a handful of soil! Born in Huizhou, Wang Zhi was unwilling to seek fame through the imperial examination, but went south to the ocean in search of opportunities.

Gifted and intelligent, he learned Japanese and did various businesses with Japanese people. Later, with the expansion of the scale of business, he also took over the arms business in Japan and organized his own armed forces. In the waters between China and Japan, he established his own name, and even used Ryukyu as a base for a time, and proclaimed himself the "King of Hui" and "King of the Pure Sea".

Wang Zhi, who was far away from the rivers and lakes, and the rulers who lived in temples and halls, saw the root cause of the "Japanese rebellion" in the Ming Dynasty - the sea ban. While dealing with the encirclement and suppression by military means, he constantly told the ruler that he had no hope and only wanted to pay tribute and open the market.

Chinese pirates never use skull flags, and what they write on the flags are humble prayers, peace, food and clothing, which are the most small and trivial dreams of the grassroots class.

Wang Zhi, like all Chinese pirates, has this weakness.

The imperial court took advantage of Wang Zhi's weakness to trick him into recruiting him. But the strange thing is that Wang Zhiwen was not accused of "piracy", but "treason".

This was a "blindfold" used by the Ming Dynasty, and what really unsettled the ruler was his move to proclaim himself king.

On the contrary, Wang Zhi's business promotion promoted economic and cultural exchanges between China and Japan. He was a Chinese and did not serve the Japanese. The Japanese and the Portuguese were at his disposal and served his business.

The glorious achievements of ancient Chinese pirates have always been unknown to outsiders. In Chinese history, the first to build a ship of 10,000 people was the Chinese pirates.

Among the pirates that Wei Bao is more familiar with, Zheng Zhilong is the first, and in Wei Bao's cognition, Zheng Zhilong is regarded as the 'first ship king in the history of the world'.

Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Chenggong, father and son, were very strong at sea, and finally defeated the Dutch East India Company.

Chinese pirates come to the South Seas, and the locals welcome them because they do not plunder like Western pirates, but are very respectful of local customs.

Chinese pirates are very different from foreign pirates, and they are also different from Somali pirates.

On the eve of the Opium War of the Qing Dynasty, there were still strong pirate teams such as the Red Flag Gang led by the female pirate Zheng Yi's sister-in-law in the Pearl River Estuary, and their equipment was far superior to that of the Great Qingshui Division.

The Red Banner Gang repeatedly defeated the officers and troops, and also inflicted heavy losses on the Portuguese and Macao fleets with American mercenaries, besieging Macao to the point of almost running out of food.

In 1809, British ships were rampage through Chinese waters, and the officers and troops were powerless.

At this time, Zheng Yi's sister-in-law made a decisive move, struck at the British ships on the inland river of Guangzhou, captured a British ship, and killed dozens of British soldiers, and the combat effectiveness shocked the British army.

However, instead of thinking about how to use an iron-blooded army, the Qing rulers have been trying to encircle and divide the Red Flag Gang.

In the last encirclement and suppression, the Qing Dynasty sailors united with the Portuguese in Macao to form a Sino-Portuguese alliance to encircle the Red Flag Gang, and once blockaded the main fleet of the Red Flag Gang on Lantau Island.

Zhang Baozai, the adopted son of Zheng Yi's sister-in-law, calculated the wind direction and tide, and gathered 300 large ships, more than 1,500 artillery pieces, and 20,000 soldiers with Zheng Yi's sister-in-law.

In the end, the ruler once again took advantage of the habitual weakness of Chinese pirates and used the "Huairou Policy" to recruit the allies of the Red Flag Gang, which greatly reduced the power of the Red Flag Gang, and Zheng Yi's sister-in-law had to accept the Qing Dynasty's recruitment.

During the Ming Dynasty, Europe began to enter the Age of Discovery.

Hordes of pirates set out from Europe to the distant "New World", opening a new climax in the history of world colonization, and at the same time constructing the strong position of Western civilization over other civilizations.

A so-called "modern" world in the Western view of history was born.

The pirates of the West were also treated with courtesy by their rulers.

In Spain, Magellan, the first to complete a circumnavigation of the globe, was revered throughout the country.

The British royal family awarded the pirate lord Drake the rank of "Admiral".

The United States regards Mahan, the founder of the theory of sea power (the theory of state piracy), as its teacher.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the politics were corrupt, and the officers and soldiers were afraid when they saw the Japanese ronin, and they were simply "afraid of the Japanese like tigers".

China's civilian pirates have seen this weakness of the government and have carried out civilian maritime commerce and armed activities under the banner of pirates.

This includes a large number of people such as Wang Zhi and Xu Hai. These so-called wokos, their leaders are all Chinese.

Ninety percent of the crew are Chinese, and their team consists of only a few Japanese ronin.

Wei Bao asked people to summon people above the steward level, and everyone quickly arrived.

Xu Rui is also in charge of liaison between the two sides at the Maritime Chamber of Commerce in Shanhaiguan.

All the stewards came, Wei's father and Wei's mother, as well as Fan Lao's pimple and his wife, Wang Zhihui and his wife also came, Wei Bao originally didn't want them to come, he was afraid that they would worry, and he was even more afraid that they would talk too much, but when he thought of this matter, he was afraid that he would have to mobilize all his forces, and he couldn't hide it from them, so he simply let them attend the meeting.

Fan Xiaolin came to Wei Bao's side in surprise: "Childe, when did you come back?" Didn't you say that you want to go on a scientific expedition? Finished the exam? ”

Wei Bao said: "It's only been a test, and the list hasn't been released yet." There are important things today. Wei Bao said, and said to Lin Wenbiao: "Everyone is together, tell me about the situation." ”

Lin Wenbiao nodded, understanding what Gongzi meant, this is to use all his strength! Secretly thinking that Gongzi was cautious, he said to the more than 80 stewards present: "Gongzi wants to buy a batch of grain and grass outside, and the person in the middle of the contact sent a message today, and he can arrive tonight." ”

"Bought food from outside? In this year of catastrophe, where can I buy food? Wei's father, Veda Conch, said: "How much did you buy?" Xiaobao, it can't be black food, right? ”

"It doesn't matter if it's white or black! There is no food, so many people are waiting to starve to death? Tens of thousands of people, at least thousands of stones, grain and grass can survive these two or three months! Wei Mu was not afraid, and said to Wei Dakang angrily.

"A total of 2,000 stones!" Wei Bao raised two fingers and shook it.

Oh!

When everyone heard this, there was a low noise, and they were all surprised, 2000 stone grain and grass? With such a large batch of grain and grass, not to mention tens of thousands of people, even 20,000 people, it can support the midsummer harvest season.

"Xiaobao, buying black grain is a violation of the king's law! You have to think about it! Moreover, those who can do the black grain business are all pirates! Those people are all strong in martial arts, and they don't blink an eye when they kill! Wei Dakang reminded worriedly.

Fan Lao Pimple and Wang Zhihui also nodded beside them, expressing concern.

Wei Bao said: "I've thought about all of this, but we can't help it, which is worse than breaking the king's law or starving to death?" And we are closed here, and now the city wall is encircled, although the city wall cannot prevent people from entering and exiting, but our people in Weijiazhuang all know the law of Weijiazhuang, the people inside will not go out, and the people outside will not come in casually, and the problem of keeping the news secret is not big! What I'm worried about now is that someone is colluding with the government and setting us up! ”

Wei Bao did not ask Lin Wenbiao to tell the identity information of Xu Leijian, the manager of Xu Weibing, a big businessman in Jiangnan who was in contact with him, in Shanhaiguan, for fear that this matter would not be kept secret.

Wei Bao took a sip of tea and continued: "If the other party colludes with the government, the danger is relatively great, if it does not collude with the government, it is just a normal transaction, we are not afraid of them eating black, we now have at least 8,000 strong men in Weijiazhuang, these people are ambushed together, not afraid of how many people the other party will come!" ”

When everyone heard this, they nodded together, and the strength of the people was great, and they showed their advantages at this time! They say they are not afraid of pirates!

"It's worth taking this risk, even if there is collusion between the government and tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, we are not afraid! If you don't fight, you will starve to death, not to mention that we plan to buy it with money, and we are not going to grab the food of large households! Fan Xiaolin was the first to speak out in support of Wei Bao's idea.

All the stewards also immediately rushed to express their support, saying that no matter what the son did, it would be a sea of swords and fire, and everyone would follow!

In addition to Wei Bao's elders, one of the others here is counted as one, all of whom Wei Bao was promoted from the common people with big heads, if it weren't for Wei Bao, not to mention the opportunity to 'be an official', most people may not know which roadside they have frozen bones and starved to death.

Everyone discussed enthusiastically for a few minutes, and Wei Dakang's courage was also driven by everyone, he is Wei Bao's father, and he must support his son more than anyone else, worrying is worrying, and it is his duty to remind him, but when there is a crisis, he must definitely be with Wei Bao.

Wei Dakang clapped his hands and said: "Xiaobao, since you have already thought about it, let's take everyone to prepare now, right?" Where to pick up the goods, have you already said it? ”

Wei Bao smiled slightly, looked at Lin Wenbiao, he didn't expect his father to be like that just now, but now he looks like a boss.

Lin Wenbiao said: "It's at our Weijiazhuang wharf, we only have one wharf, and there is an empty beach outside, and it is difficult to ambush more than 8,000 people." ”

"Three hundred people from the convoy and the Statistics Office are in Akari! Everyone else is in the dark, don't let the other party notice first, the other party will not dare to dock when he sees so many people! Wei Bao said.

"Isn't that area digging drains and aqueducts? Call everyone over and dig now, and everyone will hide in the ditch when the time comes. Wang Zhihui suggested.

"Okay, that's it!" Wei Bao nodded, at critical moments, Wang Zhihui can always say some constructive words, although Fan Lao Pimple has a lot of words and a lot of experience, but it doesn't seem to be as good as Wang Qiuya's father's brain.

Fan Xiaolin saw Wang Zhihui showing his face in front of his son, and her father and mother were slightly jealous, while Wang Qiuya and Wang Qiuya's mother smiled happily, looked at Wang Zhihui with an appreciative expression, and made Wang Zhihui blush, touched his head, and smiled embarrassedly.

"Childe, are the women going?" Fan Xiaolin asked.

"Don't go to the women, dig a ditch and go together, and when it gets dark and the ambush begins, let the women come back and wait first." Wei Bao commanded.

"Yes." Fan Xiaolin agreed.

"Let's all go and greet people, start now, or according to the old rules, each person is in charge, and the boss of each trumpet is in charge of his own people." Luo San was stunned, Zhang Luo said.

"Yes." The stewards and the trumpet bosses bowed down together and agreed, and retreated one after another.

Wei Dakang smiled: "It seems that the work of planting trees, sowing seeds, and plowing the land will be stopped for a while today. ”

"Don't, you don't affect it, the more than 2,000 people under the management of your Agricultural Bureau, just wait for it to get dark and go to the dock to ambush! Should you be busy with farm work, and do so much, isn't it just for a good harvest in the autumn? Wei Bao said.

"Well, listen to Xiaobao, so many people went to dig a ditch, how big a ditch, how long a ditch was dug out! Can't fit a few thousand? Wei Mu nodded.

Wei Bao smiled and didn't say anything, trying to look as relaxed as he could.

Wei's father and Wei's mother said a few words of concern for Wei Bao and withdrew.

"Arrange a few boats on the edge of the dock, and prevent the pirates from trying to escape!" Wei Bao instructed Lin Wenbiao.

"Yes! We have two steamships now, and we can prepare for the fire in advance when the time comes, no matter how fast they row, they can't outrun our steamboats! Lin Wenbiao said.

Wei Bao nodded, now the technology of the steam engine is formed, but, limited to materials, there is no qualified steel to build boilers, can only manufacture small steam engines based on copper, and in terms of shipbuilding technology, among the locals, even if they are proficient in the life of fishermen, they can only build small and medium-sized fishing boats, and have no experience in building large ships!

This is still a wooden ship, Wei Bao secretly thought, to upgrade to have the craft of manufacturing large iron ships, I don't know how many years of hard work, secretly regretted that he didn't study well in modern times, it seems that he can only rely on the establishment of an education system, looking forward to upgrading and cultivating his own science talents as soon as possible, anyway, he himself is impossible, he knows his own things, he definitely does not have this time, and he can't put in this kind of hard work, nor does he have this talent.

There are not many learning materials on the ironclad ship, in addition to the messy information collected on the Internet by a few 'crossing giant enthusiasts' brothers, there are also some learning materials for the crew, and there is very little information among the tourists, there are a few factory owners or managers, with a little special manufacturing product information, he does not understand too much. There is no interest in research.

After distributing everyone's affairs, Wei Bao breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that there are still many people! really encounters a big event, as long as you work together, the energy of these tens of thousands of people is enough to help him solve nine out of ten difficulties!

Now it is a lack of armament, not enough firepower, and the surrounding is in the hinterland of the heavy army group of the Ming army, the situation in western Liaoning is still very stable, there is no union of hundreds of thousands of displaced people, otherwise, Wei Bao secretly provoked himself to start a fire, tens of thousands of horses and horses were gathered, and then contacted millions of hungry people to join the rebel army, not to mention the ancestral family of the Wu family, even the capital can fight over.

But Wei Bao just thought about it like this, he didn't change his original intention, he didn't take rebellion as an option in his head, it was just a last resort.

Wei Bao was reluctant to build such a long city wall as Weijiazhuang (the later Qinhuangdao city and the vast harbor area), otherwise he would not have spent a seemingly thankless stupid way to build such a long wall.

More than 100 kilometers of city wall, this is definitely a huge project, using tens of thousands of people to build it in three or four years, it is very remarkable.

Wei Bao is actually not very afraid of doing business with pirates, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative to find people like Xu Leijian, the head of Xu Weibing, a Jiangnan businessman with a pirate background and stationed in western Liaoning.

Wei Bao is afraid that people with official backgrounds like Wu Xiang will fight against it, and now let alone tens of thousands of officers and soldiers come to encircle and suppress Weijiazhuang, or thousands of people, he asks himself, he may not be able to resist it!

Although his subordinates have formed a systematic team, and he can control the team, but if he really wants to go against the government, he will openly rebel!

If these people really rebel openly, and there is no good external environment, what will happen to Wei Bao, Wei Bao is not sure.

Wei Bao has made assumptions, most of them will rebel with themselves, this is no problem, but there is no good external environment, that is to say, there is only his rebel force within a radius of thousands of miles, and when the time comes, the number of officers and soldiers will continue to increase, and there will definitely be major obstacles! Can these people still work together?

At this point, Wei Bao is really not sure.

After a casual lunch, Wei Bao rode a horse to Weijiazhuang and walked around, only a few days did not come back, the feeling has changed again, not only the foundation of the city wall has been completed, the original road next to Benjia has come out, the cement ground has solidified, straight to the city wall gate and the industrial area.

Wei Bao's horse is called Chilu, Wei Bao didn't forget to look at Wu Xuexia's 'Yellow Hawthorn' in the stable, and when he saw the Yellow Hawthorn, he couldn't help but think of Wu Xuexia, thinking of Wu Xuexia's delicate face, and the expression and tone that made him always feel uncomfortable, which made Wei Bao's heart weird.

It is also strange to say that since Wu Xuexia named Huang Hawthorn, this horse seems to have recognized the master, only Wu Xuexia is recognized, and no one else is allowed to ride.

"This little thing, I still know how to recognize people, so I won't ride you." Fan Xiaolin led a horse and said with a smile: "I also have my own horse." ”

When Wei Bao heard Fan Xiaolin say this, he knew that Fan Xiaolin already knew that Wu Xuexia had designated a horse, and looking at Wang Qiuya's expression beside her, Wang Qiuya seemed to know it, but Wei Bao didn't take it to heart.

Not to mention that he never thought about anything with a girl like Wu Xuexia, even if he really had anything, he didn't have to care about the women around him, he had now given up a lot of fishing mentality, and as his rich life grew longer, he seemed to feel that he was born rich and handsome.

Wei Bao, Fan Xiaolin, and Wang Qiuya, under the help of several attendants, went around in a circle.

"Now that the coal yard has stopped, enough coal has been dug up, and there is no need to make kerosene lamps for the time being." Fan Xiaolin said to Wei Bao: "Most of the workers in the industrial zone have formed small businesses to build roads on their own. ”

Wei Bao nodded and said: "When industrial production, the material preparation should be sufficient, and the manual preparation should be tighter. It is best to feel that there is not enough manpower most of the time, which is a good phenomenon, and once there is a surplus of manpower, it is not possible to arrange work for the workers, which is a troublesome thing. ”

"It's not easy to arrange." Fan Xiaolin said: "If the business is good, the amount of demand is large, and there are no skilled workers, isn't it also troublesome?" ”

"I'm relatively speaking, try to make people as tight as possible, and the ability to produce and sell can't be too bad, just a little worse." Wei Bao explained.

After looking at the industrial zone, Wei Bao went around again, looked at the acres that have been cleared, during this time, in Wei Dakang, Huang Ying, Fan Lao Pimple, Wang Zhihui and other agricultural bureau managers with the efforts of more than 2,000 farmers, the whole Weijiazhuang has changed a lot, the acres of wasteland have increased more than three times, and there are large areas of windbreaks, although they are still just small seedlings, but they can already imagine what kind of spectacular scene it will be after growing up in the future.

After breathing in the pure fresh air in the countryside, Wei Bao was relaxed and in a much better mood.

He suddenly found that in the process of studying, some of the hardships he suffered in the process of seeking official positions were really insignificant compared to what he had gained! Imagining the great changes that will occur here in the future makes Wei Bao's heart full of satisfaction, especially content.

Night.

Wei Bao personally went to the dock.

However, he was not on the dock, but in a makeshift grass hut on a hill next to the dock, observing the scene not far away, like a battle commander, the leader of No. 001.

Wei Bao has a high-powered telescope, but unfortunately there are no telephones, walkie-talkies, or radios, otherwise it would be more like a military command room.

Originally, all the stewards didn't let Wei Bao show up, and they didn't let Wei Bao come in person, but Wei Bao was still not at ease, and decided to watch from afar, and the specific actions would be taken care of by Madman Tan!

Originally, in Laolinzi Cottage, this kind of 'foreign affairs activities' was mainly in charge of Madman Tan, but at that time, what he mainly did was to step on points, and then take people to big households to tie up tickets, or directly grab silver and things.

What Madman Tan has to do now is to protect Weijiazhuang and train the escort team!

After officially becoming Wei Gongzi's teaching boxer, Chang Wuye only retained the title of consultant in the escort team, and the specific leadership and training have been completely handed over to Tan Maniac, and Wei Bao's original appointment of local Zhang Haobo and Gao Yitong are as Tan's deputies.

Among the more than 200 members of the guard, only more than 30 were originally from the old forest cottage, and the others were selected and supplemented from tens of thousands of people.

Originally, more than 60 people from the old Linzi cottage entered Weijiazhuang, and more than 30 people were selected by Lin Wenbiao to enter the Statistics Bureau.

Wei Bao found that in terms of military force training, it is more convenient to train people who have been bandits or pirates, and it is easier to produce results, otherwise it will take at least two or three years for the army to train according to regular channels! Navy at least five years or more!

Although he has never been in contact with the navy, Wei Bao has always been on a boat, and when he came to travel, he sat on a replica Zhenyuan ship, let alone a boat, just sitting, and after a long time, he felt disgusted with the river and the sea in his belly.

What's more, what Wei Bao wants to cultivate is a high-quality, capable of fighting, and ocean-going navy!

The sea allows a nation's maritime forces to have an impact on global affairs, and Wei Bo is well aware that the navy can be a powerful tool for pursuing national strategies.

Among all branches of the armed forces, only the navy can operate in all battlefields and spaces of land, navy, and air force, has the most diverse force composition and combat means, and can carry out the most extensive tasks.

Naval vessels with beautiful appearance and powerful weapons are loved by people, and visiting the ports of other countries and opening them to the public can enhance friendship and strengthen exchanges while also demonstrating national strength, which is an excellent means of carrying out military diplomacy and people-to-people diplomacy.

The diversification of the Navy's missions and tasks requires the Navy to have diversified capabilities, which also requires that naval officers should have diverse knowledge, abilities and qualities.

Among the constituent elements of naval capabilities, ships are the material base, but more important are naval officers and sailors, of which naval officers are the core.

High-quality naval officers are the human and intellectual guarantee for navigating the seas, maintaining sea power, and building the navy.

At Web, the Navy's traditional and non-traditional maritime security threats will be more diverse and unpredictable, and the military and non-military tasks it will undertake.

"The time has passed, why hasn't there been any movement?" Fan Xiaolin sat beside Wei Bao, staring nervously at the dark sea with a high-powered telescope.

Wei Bao is also secretly worried!

Last time, Xu Leijian was delayed once! Originally, it was within ten days, but it was put on for five more days, and this trip, it won't change again, right?

Wang Qiuya saw that Wei Bao didn't speak, and said softly: "I hope to come, if there is no food, it will be a problem for tens of thousands of people to eat." ”

Before Wang Qiuya's words fell, there was movement on the sea!

"That piece seems to be a fleet, so many ships? Such a big ship? Fan Xiaolin said with a little excitement.
