"Sailor!"

Shi Lang, Marquis of Jinghai in a certain time and space, and now Shi Lang gently brushed away Zheng Zhihu's hand.

"No matter how fast the ship is and how ruthless the cannon is, it must be operated by someone! Nowadays, the worst thing in the Nanyue Army is people! ”

Shi Lang's face glowed red with excitement, pointing out the country on the map.

(I'm afraid that someone is going to shoot the author with bricks again!) "After so many years of development, why is there still a shortage of sailors? Or is this a shortcoming? Cheating the number of words is not so deceiving! "Slow down! As the saying goes, ten years of army and a hundred years of navy, without a long period of accumulation, how can it become a strong group of sailors overnight? Before the reform of the military service system, the compulsory soldiers of the Navy were one year longer than the Army. The professional training of the Navy takes a long time! There are many related majors on ships and shores, and they need to be trained for more than half a year before they can be on duty! That still has to have a high school education or above, although the jurisdiction of the pig's foot is universal compulsory education, but it is not achieved overnight! ）

"Most of the sailors in my Fujian Navy Division are children of Quanzhou, Zhangzhou, and even have a relationship with each other. The people in the same boat may be uncles, nephews, fathers and sons, or brothers of the same clan. Language, habits, and temperament are all well understood. ”

Shi Lang took a sip of the teacup.

"When my little nephew went on the ship for internship in the Nanyue Army Naval Division, he found that the sources of sailors in the Nanyue Army Naval Division were chaotic and the difficulty of communicating with each other was far beyond my imagination."

"Huh? Big nephew, tell me about it! ”

"Among the sailors were Fujianese, Cantonese, Guangxi, Qiongzhou, Javanese and Burmese, Luzon, Fuso, Siamese, Arakan and Hongmaoyi!! Among the Fujianese, there are people from Quanzhou, Zhangzhou, and Fuzhou. Among the Cantonese people, most of them are from Leizhou and Guangzhou. Recently, it has been reported that since Zhang Xiaohu used Tamna Island as his lair to blockade and harass Wusongkou and Hangzhou Bay, many Koreans have been recruited into his subordinate fleet! ”

"The people in many places have very different languages, foods, customs, and temperaments! When the little nephew first boarded the ship, he also struggled to communicate with them. It takes a lot of effort to convey an order, Marshal, we are at sea, life and death are between words, and the speed of an order is often the life and death of a boatload of people! ”

Hearing Shi Lang list the many disadvantages of his opponent one by one, he heard the four brothers, father and son laughing.

"Looks like we still have a good chance of winning! Our sailors have been at sea with their father and brother since childhood. Which is not a good hand at heart walking? ”

"This. Li Jueshuai also knows that he is not enough, so he has been doing one thing for so many years. ”

Hearing Shi Lang's opponent who called his father so respectful, Zheng Sen was a little unhappy. But at this time, I don't care about that. Just urge Shi Lang to say what Li Shouhan's countermeasures are.

"Conquer the sea with land! The land and sea are like the two wings of the Nanyue army. Mutual support! And for many years, the Nanyue Army has never relaxed the training of sailors. When the little nephew was in the Sailor Academy, no matter how big the wind and waves. As long as the boat will not be overturned, you will have to go to sea to train! He also built ports and garrisoned military horses in various places, in order to compress the sea life routes of others. If nothing else, Dashuai, look here. ”

Shi Lang drew everyone's attention to Taiwan, a large island opposite Xiamen, "Here, many good ports can be built, and there are large areas of fertile land that can provide millions of stone of grain." What's even worse is that this black water ditch is the gateway for us to go north to the south of the Yangtze River and enter and exit with the fleet every day! Dashuai, for the sake of this territory, Lord Li sent his eldest son to this smoky and barbaric place as the so-called prefect of Taiwan! ”

Heishuigou is the name of the Taiwan Strait for Fujian immigrants in the Ming and Qing dynasties. A large number of people from Zhangzhou, Quanzhou, and other places went one after another to cross the strait and go to Taiwan to reclaim land.

"Eldest nephew, as you said, what should we do with the Nanyue Army?"

Zheng Zhilong was silent for a while, ordered someone to roll up the map and put it away, and continued to ask Shi Lang.

"Dashuai, when the little nephew has nothing to do these days, he found the Loyal Water Margin and came to see. There is a sentence in the Tianji Star Wu Yong, and the little nephew thinks it is very good. If you want to recruit An, you must kill him, and he will be frightened and afraid in his dreams, and then he will talk about Zhao'an! Compared with the Nanyue Army, our Fujian Navy Division is advantageous for a long time, while our army is advantageous for a quick battle. If we follow their path and are driven by him as the master, I am afraid that they will be able to consume us with money, food, gunpowder, and at that time, we can only hand over the letter and the table in a gray manner! ”

For many years, almost all of the bulk materials and necessities such as grain, gunpowder, cloth, artillery, oil, salt, and meat of the Zheng maritime group were purchased from Nanzhong, and a lot of profits were obtained through this procurement and trade, and they even sold the grain to the southern Gannan region by land.

"What the little nephew means, we might as well concentrate all the soft sailing ships and big green heads, find a place at the southern end of Heishuigou, and take advantage of the convenient transfer of supplies from Xiamen to give the Nanyue Army Naval Division a ruthless blow to the south! After that, I will sit down with the Nanyue Army, Marshal, don't you want to discuss the matter of anti-smuggling in the three provinces? At that time, it can be openly proposed with Li Jueshuai, and the anti-smuggling of the three provinces should be shared by the two families, not only the coastal routes, but also those going to Fusang! Of course, the marshal had to be wronged and became a subordinate of Li Jueshuai. ”

"Go! Xiong Wencan was still our top boss back then! Have we ever fucked him? Zheng Zhihu burst into a foul language, which can be regarded as a recognition of Shi Lang's strategic concept.

According to this assumption, the war machine of the Zheng Maritime Group began to run slowly.

"Big brother, we beat this freshly baked Uncle Li, how can the court explain it?"

After everyone dispersed, Zheng Zhibao was a little worried, and he followed his eldest brother back to the signing room.

"Well, don't worry. I'm afraid that there are a lot of people in the government and the opposition who are looking forward to us clashing with Li Shouhan! Zhilong handed the pile of letters to Zhibao with a sneer.

Today, no military town in the Nanyue Army dares to confront him on land, and it can kill tens of thousands of Liaodong rebels in one battle, which is prohibitive. However, in this sea business, Zhilong is quite confident in himself and his subordinates.

"It's a big deal, just get more fireboats! It's like burning a Dutchman's ship! ”

Imagine the scene where the fresh and hot Ning Yuanbo had to knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach after being burned by his own sailor fleet with a fireboat. Zhilong couldn't help but want to laugh loudly.

"The big guys in the DPRK and China won't accuse us of not obeying military orders and offending our superiors, right?" Zhibao is still a little worried.

"Brother, go back and take a good look at these palace newspapers, this group of mainland officials and soldiers are like this, what can the court do to them?" Zheng Zhilong threw a pile of newspapers into Zhibao's arms, which were full of news about the elimination of rogues by officials and soldiers from all over the country, and the conscientious staff deliberately outlined the main points of the article with red pens.

Coincidentally, when Zheng Zhilong was discussing major matters with Shi Lang, Zheng Zhibao, Zheng Zhihu, Zheng Sen and others in Xiamen, Li Shouhan in Guangzhou also convened a meeting.

Very different from Zheng Zhilong's meeting, Shouhan's meeting did not involve any strategic movements. Rather, they are discussing a seemingly trivial issue.

"Our artillery. Can the rate of fire be faster? ”

After King Qin's army returned to Guangdong and other places with more than 100,000 refugees, in addition to arranging immigration and other affairs, the biggest thing was to conduct tactical summary and discussion. According to Shouhan's words, "If you don't talk about merit, you can't run." The problem is not to be discussed! ”

And before this tactical summary meeting begins. Shouhan had to meet with someone.

Weather in October. Guangdong is also very cold. Outside the gate of Ning Yuanbo's mansion today, Wu Liuqi was shirtless, carrying a bundle of thorns on his back. Kneeling on the square outside the gate of Yuanmen. Let the spikes of the thorns stab his body to blood, and just kneel in front of the door to plead guilty.

"Brigade Commander Wu, the marshal has an order, 'Let the iron beggar get in for Lao Tzu!'" Don't mess with these illusions! He is him, Wu Biao is Wu Biao! ’”

Wu Biao was poached by the imperial court, and the troops he led became the so-called model brigade of the Beijing camp, and he became the general of the Beijing camp, with the rank of deputy general, and was given the title of general Zhaoyong, and was given the servant of the mansion. It provides a model for Chongzhen to rectify the internal exercises of the Beijing camp. Now he was seconded by Yang Sichang, who went south to supervise and suppress thieves, and went south with the army to act as a killer weapon for Lord Yang to deter the army.

All of these incidents frightened Wu Liuqi, who was also the brigade commander.

If the uncle has a mustard in his heart, and he is not a descendant of the Nanyue Army, how can he survive?

As a result, there was a scene of pleading guilty in front of the gate.

Looking at Wu Liuqi, who was covered in blood who was bound by a thick hemp rope, the corner of Shouhan's mouth showed a sneer, "Isn't it cold?" ”

No one expected Shouhan to ask such a question.

Everyone imagined in their minds the scene when Shouhan met Wu Liuqi, which was nothing more than the regular subjects of releasing the rope and undressing, but no one thought that Shouhan would raise such a seemingly innocuous question.

"It's a little cold!"

Wu Liuqi also told the truth.

"Find a cotton coat for Brigade Commander Wu."

Wu Liuqi, who was dressed in cotton clothes, looked a lot better on his face, but the thorns on his body were still tightly tied to his back by hemp rope.

"The betrayal of the lord by the younger brother is the fault of the six wonders......"

"Wu Biao is a big living person, his head grows on his own neck, his mind is active, and no one can stop him. You go back and take the people who escaped from the garrison brigade and are unwilling to stay in the Beijing division from Liao Dongzhi and Lu Yunsheng and replenish them to your troops. ”

Shouhan pointed to the bundle of thorns in Wu Liuqi's cotton clothes: "This thing, go back and untie it yourself." But the bundle of thorns in your heart, after you have made meritorious contributions in the war, you will also untie it yourself! ”

Shouhan sent Wu Liuqi's petition in this way, and the news spread in the city of Guangzhou, and some Buddhist disciples and laymen thought that although the uncle had killed countless people, what he said was quite wise.

"It's easy to go to the mountains and thieves, but it's hard to go to the heart! It is easy to remove the thorns on Brigade Commander Wu's body, but it is difficult to remove the thorns in his heart. ”

"The bell still needs to be tied to the bell, and General Wu can only remove the fault of his brother after he has made meritorious contributions."

After sending Wu Liuqi to accept the soldiers of Chaozhou origin in the Guards Brigade and the Third Brigade, Shouhan returned to the venue again.

At the venue, Ao Lei Yilan blinked her beautiful eyes and watched this group of strange-shaped people arguing fiercely there. For the first time, she found out that the red-haired and blue-eyed Rakshasa had to kneel down and bow down when she saw her husband.

How to be able to face the rapid onslaught of Jiannu or other cavalry, and implement effective artillery interception, so as to provide sufficient time and space for the infantry's firearms. is the main topic of the day.

For this reason, Galileo, Descartes and others were taken to Guangzhou by clipper by the Han guards to discuss together.

At this time, he was speaking as a senior gun commander of the Guards Brigade Artillery Team, known as the Dragon Overlord of the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

This person is also a legend, he was a slave under the Tusi surnamed Long, and after the Tusi official village was broken by the Nanzhong Army, he became a civilian man who carried artillery shells and baggage with the army, because he could eat enough in the artillery team, so he was not lazy to work. Gradually, he changed from a civilian man to a baggage soldier. Gradually, he became a gunner. Until now, he has become a very old gun commander in the Guards Brigade. It's also a pity for Shouhan to be a pity, he is very familiar with the artillery business, and the soldiers are also good, but he is not very literate. Unable to become an officer in the artillery corps. For this reason, he can only find a way to give him his military salary.

His name is when he enlisted in the army and ran the roster. The gentlemen asked him what his name was. I couldn't think of what to call it for a while, but someone next to me was singing the tune "The wind blows up the Wujiang River, like Yu Ji don't overlord". He heard that the name Overlord was very powerful, so he told people that his name was Dragon Overlord!

"Although we now use a letter tube and a silk medicine bag, it is much faster than with a lead rope, and the barrel does not heat up so quickly, but it is still not so fast! Just like the difference between a firewire and a flintlock gun, if we could shorten the ignition time of the gun, like the firecracker, we would be able to complete five reloads in the previous four shots! The artillery team can complete the blocking fire on the designated area by shooting in groups alternately! Leave plenty of time for the infantry brothers! ”

The words of the dragon overlord are very representative, and they are to the point. Nowadays, the artillery of the Nanyue Army, whether it is the army or the naval division, uses the goose feather tube to fill the ignition powder, connect the ignition on the medicine bag, and fire it by igniting the letter tube and detonating the powder bag.

Although this method is much faster than the arquebus that has been used before, it is also a little powerless in the face of Jiannu's stormy heavy cavalry during the Battle of Changqing in Jinan. In addition, in the face of the suppressive counterattack of enemy artillery fire, there were several explosions caused by enemy shells hitting the brazier. The army is better, you can open the distance, if there is a martyrdom in the artillery in the naval division, it will be a big trouble! These are all areas for improvement.

"Well, it's harder!"

From Descartes, Galileo, to a group of craftsmen from Hejing Heavy Industries, they were all very curious about this idea of Tyrannosaurus Rex, but they were very annoyed.

Today's artillery firing is already very fast, how can it be faster?

"What a stupid! A small pot can cook, but a big pot can't stew meat?! ”

On the side, Ao Lei Yilan, who had just learned Chinese, mocked this group of guys who had gotten into the horns of the bull with a crisp voice.

"Seventh Madam, what should I say this?"

Galileo has been in the East for many years, and he has gone from not understanding to understanding to accepting the marriage system here. Compared with the superficial fidelity to marriage advocated by European Catholicism, but there is a lot of monogamy among mistresses and lovers, he feels that this monogamous and polygamous system also has a very scientific place, at least, the family lineage is very clear.

"Go outside and see, which of the brothers who carry the firebolt uses the firestring? Isn't it all flint? You smart people, these things are all made by you, a small pot can cook, but a big pot can't stew meat? Enlarge the flintlock on the firearm and put it on the artillery, isn't it? ”

Ao Lei Yilan's Chinese language is still a little blunt, but the meaning is clear. Modify the flintlock device of the flintlock gun, enlarge the scale, and install it on the gun! From now on, there is no need for a brazier on the gun position of the sailor!

Galileo Descartes and others and the craftsmen of Hejing Heavy Industries secretly cried out in their hearts to be ashamed, and at the same time their minds were rapidly calculating the structure of the flintlock machine and how to transform it.

When the trigger is pulled, the spring mechanism drives the fire sickle to strike the flint, generating sparks to ignite the gunpowder in the pool, and then igniting the main charge in the bore to shoot the projectile.

Seeing that everyone began to discuss the details of the technique enthusiastically, Ao Lei Yilan also knew that her words had inspired them, and winked at her husband who was standing on the tiger skin chair, and gently stroked Shouhan's waist with a pair of soft palms slightly calloused in her palms.

"You go on, I'll go out later."

Shouhan's heart was a little angry, and he stood up and walked to the water pavilion outside the council hall, looking at the blue water.

Fang Cai's actions made him jump more than one in his crotch.

Now among several wives and concubines, Yan Mei'er is in Nanzhong's hometown, and although Li Muhua is in Guangzhou, she has just given birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses not long ago and is in confinement. The other concubines were either in Hue or in Guangzhou. In addition to serving Li Muhua, several concubines and orchids in Guangzhou also have to take care of the daily chores of Shouhan, and the things between the curtains and beds in this room are inevitably lacking.

Now Shouhan only has this Ao Lei Yilan and the two concubines in Shandong to serve, it is Shouhan in his energetic years, and now he is facing another war, and the excess secretion of hormones makes him like a bag of gunpowder, which will explode at a point.

"Xianggong, I helped you come up with a solution, are you slow to thank me?" Ao Lei Yilan flirted with Shouhan in a half-understood Chinese.

"You say!" Among the several women who guarded the Han, Yan Mei'er was also a gentleman when she went to bed, Li Muhua was also limited in style, and although those Tianzhu orchids were more than amorous, they always felt like a slave meeting their masters.

"The second sister sent me a book, with a lot of pictures on it, saying that it can be used for Yan Haolu, I want you to try it with me."

Ao Lei Yilan's voice was not loud, but it could also be heard clearly by the people around him, which suddenly made Shouhan feel a little like a thief.

"Ahem!" An old voice came from behind him. (To be continued......)
