Yin Zhongnian was full of joy, and paced a few steps in the study to suppress the ecstasy in his heart.

"You did a good job, this county didn't look at the wrong person, you didn't see the wrong person."

He stroked his beard and said, "You can tell the county what happened." ”

Han Ping hurriedly said, "The villain obeys the order." ”

He told Yin County Ling how he tried to persuade the villagers to plant potatoes and add oil and vinegar.

Yin Zhongnian was even more emotional when he heard it.

I can't imagine that there are people in this county who work so hard, it's really rare.

"Water control should be sparse rather than blocked, why not this governance? The county is determined to make political achievements in Changle County and benefit the people. But many people don't understand the hard work of this county. You are doing a good job, if the mayors of other villages can be like you, why worry about big things. ”

Han Ping hurriedly patted his ass and said: "The county respects the people wholeheartedly, and the villain admires it." I believe that the people will be able to understand the hard work of the county. ”

Yin Zhongnian bowed slightly: "Some things are easier said than done. It is rare for you to have this heart to share the worries of the government. Naturally, this county will not treat you badly. As long as you successfully promote the cultivation of potatoes, this county will definitely personally play to the imperial court and ask the imperial court to praise you. ”

The official word has two mouths, and no matter what you say, it is reasonable.

Han Ping said in his heart that you obviously want to ask the court for credit, but you said that you care about the people and serve the people wholeheartedly, this cheek is really thicker than the city wall.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

Han Ping was a fool for a while, and then changed the conversation and said, "But this potato has to be planted more quickly, right?" If it's any later, I'm afraid it will be too late. ”

Yin Zhongnian cleared his throat and said, "Yes, without further ado, you quickly go to the yamen to collect it and distribute it." This matter will be handed over to you by the county. If you do it well, the county will be rewarded. ”

Han Ping got Yin Zhongnian's words, and hurriedly thanked: "The villain must get things done, please rest assured!" ”

Recently, the training of Denglai sailors has entered a bottleneck period.

Naturally, there was no problem with some basic training, but the officers and men of the Denglai Naval Division lacked actual combat experience, so there was no way to practice some specific tactics.

This made Zhang Kentang, the governor of Denglai, worried.

There is a big difference between ordinary officers and soldiers and sailors.

Even if ordinary officers and soldiers can't directly fight against strong enemies such as Tartars and thieves, they can still accumulate experience by suppressing bandits.

Recruits can grow rapidly when they see blood, and over time they will become veterans.

These veterans have been systematically trained and tempered in actual combat, and they will not be frightened into weakness when they face strong enemies such as Tartars and thieves in the future.

But it's too difficult for the sailor to fight.

Not to mention that it is difficult to find the target in this vast ocean and vast sea, even if the target is really found, it is difficult to catch up.

The sea is not like land, and it is difficult to encircle and intercept it. If the speed of the ship does not have an absolute advantage, it is impossible to catch up.

If there was a war of Japanese raids during the Jiajing period, there was no need to worry about no one fighting, because at that time, the entire southeast coast was ravaged by Japanese robbers. The officers and men were tired of coping, but with little success.

However, later General Qi Jiguang and Qi organized the Qi family army, defeated the Japanese invaders, and calmed down the Japanese plague that had ravaged the southeast for decades in one fell swoop.

Since then, only sporadic Japanese soldiers have been seen on the southeast coast, and it is impossible to train sailors by killing them.

But in any case, it can't be delayed.

The longer the time dragged on, the more tired the officers and men of the division became. In the end, it was a batch of wine bags and rice bags that only understood theory and could not be practiced.

This is not His Majesty's original intention of training Denglai Mariners.

Zhang Kentang knew that His Majesty had given him the task of training Denglai Sailors, fully trusted him, and also understood that the mission on his shoulders was very heavy.

If he does not do well, it is likely that Sun Yuanhua will be his end.

Therefore, the Denglai Naval Division must be trained to become a strong army on the sea.

He discussed with Yuan Weitai, the governor of Dengzhou, and decided to ask Zheng Chenggong's opinion.

At this time, although Zheng Chenggong was only a student of the Imperial Ming Military Academy who was observing in Dengzhou, he was considered to be the most proficient in naval warfare because of his background.

Zhang Kentang and Yuan Weitai found Zheng Chenggong together and expressed their intentions straight to the point.

Nowadays, there is no shortage of technology and ships in Denglai Marine, what is lacking is actual combat.

Zhang Kentang made it clear that he hoped that Zheng Chenggong would help him think of a way from a professional point of view.

The attention of the governor and the prefect was on Zheng Chenggong, so that Zhang Huangyan on the side was a little embarrassed.

However, Zhang Huangyan's mentality is still very good.

After all, Zheng Chenggong is the son of Zheng Zhilong, and the Zheng family's sailor is the sharpest existence in the whole Ming Dynasty.

Zheng Chenggong's innate advantage in this regard is too great, and it is normal for the governor and the prefect to tend to ask Zheng Chenggong for advice.

Zhang Huangyan has been listening very carefully, wanting to learn something from it.

Zheng Chenggong has been holding back for so long, and when he finally gets the opportunity, he naturally talks eloquently.

His core point of view is that the sailor is made by fighting, not by training.

Therefore, the Denglai Sailor must be trained in battle, and the target of attack can be the nearby pirates.

Zhang Kentang frowned and said: "The sea is vast, the ocean is unbridled, and it is not easy to find Haikou." And even if they find their tracks, they can run. Are we going to keep chasing and fighting? ”

Zheng Chenggong was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "The governor has misunderstood. The students meant to attack the lairs of these pirates. ”

Zhang Kentang sighed and said, "Do these Haikou still have a nest?" ”

Zheng Chenggong listened to it, and he was going to turn his back on it.

This governor is too inexperienced, isn't he?

"Naturally, the pirates have a nest, otherwise where would their ships dock? And where do you get supplies? You can't keep a ship floating on the sea, right? ”

Zhang Kentang bowed his head slightly after hearing this, and asked: "In other words, there are people along the coast of Denglai who are fornicating with Haikou and providing convenience for Haikou Kou?" Ben Fu ordered someone to investigate thoroughly! ”

"Governor, slow down!"

Zheng Chenggong was really speechless.

"The student means that this pirate must have an old nest, but he didn't say that their nest must be on the coast."

"What do you mean?"

Zhang Kentang raised his eyebrows and asked.

Where else could it be if it wasn't on the coast?

"As far as the students know, these pirates usually occupy small islands and use them as nests. Whenever they grab gold, silver, treasure, grain, etc., they will first be transported to the island, and then look for opportunities to sell the stolen goods. Some of the more famous islands will even be used as private harbors, and they will trade directly with other pirates and maritime merchants, which are very hidden and undetectable. What the governor has to do now is to order people to go to sea to investigate, and 'dig' all these small islands that are used as dens and lairs by the pirates, and then send troops to attack! ”
