Along the way, after dark, several boats drove away from the wharf, obviously heading to Fujian.

The route from Penghu to Fujian, as long as there is not a big typhoon, the general boat boss can drive the boat to the opposite shore with his eyes closed, so it is not a big deal to sail at night, and if the boat is fast, it will arrive in Fujian tomorrow night.

There was a cacophony of noises on the hull, apparently crowded with soldiers returning to their hometowns.

Xu Zixian smiled dumbfounded, and dismissed about sixty military attachés, which had to be made up by the soldiers of the water battalion...... At present, there are no officers of the water battalion, and all the officers of the water battalion are to be elected during training at sea.

Whether it is the team officer, the head of the capital, or the deputy battalion officer, they are all promoted.

The one with the greatest courage, the most meticulous heart, the most popular, and the fastest adaptation at sea, among the more than 3,000 people, it is not too difficult to elect a military attache at the level of a team officer to a deputy battalion officer, and it is much simpler than raising Gu.

This is Xu Zixian's strategy of cultivating the officers of the water division, he is really unavailable, so he can only use this crooked trick.

Unlike many big forces with foundations, Xu Zixian started as a dozen or so generals of the Nan'an Hou Mansion, and Qin Dongyang was an accident, and his ability completely exceeded his identity.

Then there were the recruited generals, then Liu Yi and Zhang Huchen, Lin Cunxin, Li Fuxiang and others, and then the Ge family brothers, Li Xingwu, Dong Ruixiang and other generals.

These generals have their own characteristics, and they are all top players in foot and horse warfare, and the future is limitless.

But they have the characteristic of being dominant on land and inexperienced at sea.

Xu Zixian will select a few brave Renshui battalion officers, who will be responsible for training soldiers to jump into white-knuckle warfare, incorporate naval warfare into the rules of land warfare, and fight naval warfare with regular combat methods, and there may be surprises in the future.

But ordinary officers of the water battalion can only be slowly cultivated from these newcomers.

Hopefully there will be surprises in the future.

The large and small warships of the Nanyang Naval Division will soon be taken over by the officers and men of the naval battalion, and a group of experienced sailors will be transferred to take over the ships first, and then craftsmen will be mobilized for maintenance and repair.

Xu Zixian has seen all the ships in the port, and they have not been repaired and maintained for at least a year.

Sea ships are very squeamish, and they have to be cleaned and repaired once they go to sea, and the longer they are in disrepair, the more likely they are to have an accident at sea.

The officers of the naval division were completely a bunch of bastards, and they did not even think about going to sea for a long voyage, at most they would circle around the Eastern Domain, Penghu, Fuzhou and Zhangzhou, so that even if the ship was not repaired, it would not be in big trouble.

If there is an edict from the imperial court now, ordering the Nanyang Naval Division to rush to the north to prepare for war, I am afraid that the Nanyang Naval Division will have to disintegrate halfway through.

"What does the prince plan to do with Ren Zhong?" When he was about to walk to the Yamen of the Water Master, Liu Yi couldn't help but speak.

The water division yamen is much larger than the county yamen, and it is also much more magnificent.

"Tell him to resign himself, or impeach him and ask him to be arrested and imprisoned?"

These things are all within the scope of Xu Zixian's responsibility, especially with the cooperation of many military attachés, Xu Zixian has a whole stack of evidence in his hand, even King Zhao can't stop it.

"We'll talk about it when we meet."

The door of the yamen in the wide five-bay room was open, and only the box army guarding the door leaned on the long guard, and it was not long after dark, and this person was already dozing.

Xu Zixian walked in slowly, and the place that had been quite lively a few days ago was already a bleak scene, with waste all over the ground being thrown away at random, broken clothes, broken shoes, broken water hyacinths, broken belts, useless scabbards, or some messy debris.

A large number of soldiers and military attachés of the box army have already embarked on the return journey, they are charged with different crimes, greedy and poor, old and weak, lawless, and incompetent, but when they leave, they are all grinning, throwing off their footsteps and leaving, eager to fly up and get on the ship, for fear of being caught up.

It's no wonder that they are this time, in order to eat the Nanyang sailors, Xu Zi first spent tens of thousands of yuan, and slapped the table and board for this matter.

Kong He couldn't quite understand why he could directly use the power of observation to dismiss officers and soldiers in the box army, but he wanted to buy them with money?

"What Kong Xuanping didn't understand, I understand now......" After witnessing Xu Zixian's silver bullet offensive, Liu Yi reluctantly understood.

Originally, the Nanyang Naval Division was considered one, the officers were united, and the soldiers were also implicitly hostile to outsiders.

If Xu Zixian has a tough attitude, although the observer has the power to rectify the order of the sailor division and dismiss unqualified officers and soldiers, if he provokes a mutiny, or has been fighting a pen and ink lawsuit, when will this sailor be able to use the handy?

Now it is spending tens of thousands of dollars, with the power of the observation envoy, almost in a few days, the Nanyang Navy Division has become an empty shell, and the next thing is to observe the envoy Baoju to recommend new military attachés, recruit sailors, soldiers, and within a month, this sailor with large medium-sized warships and lucky ships is equivalent to falling directly into the hands of Xu Zixian.

It is also possible that the imperial court will send a new military attaché, and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion may also intervene in the recruitment of the Xiang army, but under the overall situation, a little action is no longer insignificant, and it will not affect Xu Zixing's control of the last water division of the imperial court.

Liu Yi has understood, the cost of a small warship is more than 50,000 yuan, more than a dozen battleships and large and small sentinel ships, what is the price?

More than a million ships, plus some sailors and a small number of military attachés, how much wealth is this, tens of thousands of dollars to solve?

Following Xu Zixian, Liu Yi only felt that this was an out-and-out genius in front of him.

In fact, Xu Zixian is not so demonic...... If it weren't for the fact that King Qi had paved the way in advance and given him the name of the observer, there would have been quite a lot of support from the rest of King Qi in the Dadu Governor's Mansion, as well as Lin Douyao's cooperation, plus the imperial court had really given up Penghu and the Eastern Domain a long time ago, which was equivalent to giving up the Nanyang Naval Division, Xu Zixian would have been able to succeed so easily.

Not to mention a few decades ago, it was the Nanyang Naval Division twenty years ago, the imperial court sent a Xiangdu to be in charge, and the observation envoys and transshipment envoys were all ready, Xu Zixian wanted to seize the naval division by such means, it would be close to a joke.

It wasn't long before it got dark, but it was already silent.

Ren Zhong sat paralyzed in the chair, his eyes were slightly moist, and he wanted to cry.

Although it was too ugly for a stout man in his thirties to cry, Ren Zhong really wanted to vent.

A few days ago, he still had more than 3,000 subordinates under the command of the capital, more than a dozen warships, dozens of small boats, and the entire southeast coast of Fujian was the defense area for which Ren Zhong was responsible.

Hundreds of thousands of military expenses a year, Ren Zhong himself can get more than 10,000 yuan, this income is not low, Ren Zhong knows that his position is quite hot, he plans to work for a few more years before resigning, and go home with the accumulated belongings to enjoy happiness.

Who knew that the situation suddenly changed, and the imperial court suddenly appointed an observer envoy, and this is not enough, this new observer envoy is still a terrible figure like Xu Zixian, Marquis of Nan'an.

When he appointed the edict and transferred it to Ren Zhong, he felt that the situation was not good.

Ren Zhong's first reaction was to resign, but after communicating with King Zhao's envoy, Ren Zhong felt that there was still something to be done...... Xu Zi impeached one first, and King Zhao dismissed one at the level of the Metropolitan Governor's Office.

Then the upper control went to the Jingshi Yushitai and the military department, and then the two governments ordered a thorough investigation, and then played back...... It is extremely difficult to deal with a capital, but it depends on Xu Zixian's observation how to exercise power and do whatever he wants.

After several pen and ink lawsuits, as soon as Xu Zixian's true face of the paper tiger was exposed, I am afraid that no one in the entire water division will take this Nan'anhou as a dish.

At that time, King Zhao had already sat firmly in the Metropolitan Governor, and he could intervene in the operation of the Nanyang Naval Division, and further set aside Xu Zixian......

It's just that heaven is not as good as people......

Ren Zhong finally moved his eyelids, making him look more like a living person than a dead thing.

Only then did he realize that even the soldiers who were serving around him were gone, and it seemed that he had also received the money and ran away.

Ren Zhongbian flattened his mouth, not knowing whether he wanted to cry or laugh.

At this time, there was the footsteps of two people walking outside, one light and one heavy, as if they were walking in their own yard, walking casually, revealing a chic and free taste and feeling.

The sound of light footsteps seems to be an entourage of guards, just following the heavy footsteps of people walking casually.

Ren Zhong's heart is on fire, this is the important place of the yamen of the Great Wei Economic System, and it is outside the signing room of the capital system, and now it has become a place for idlers to come in and take a walk?

Hearing the footsteps getting closer and closer, Ren Zhong stood up with a calm face, grabbed his instrument knife, and walked out of the door.

"Who's out there?" Ren Zhong roared, "Do you still know the rules? ”

When he walked outside the door, he saw Xu Zixian with his hands behind his back and looking at him with a smile.

"Nan Anhou?" Ren Zhong was about to step down, barely standing, and clenched his fists and said, "The last general has seen the prince." ”

"In terms of official position, you are still above me." Xu Zixian smiled: "I should salute you." ”

"The prince is the clan of the country, and the last general will not dare to be a ......"

In terms of official positions, the commander and the observer are also at the same level, one is the commander and the other is the supervising army, but in terms of rank, the command is the fourth grade, and the observation envoy is the fifth grade, but if you only talk about the official rank, Xu Zixian is the champion general Nan'anhou, and he Ren Zhong is just a Huaihua general......

"Okay, we'll take care of the etiquette." Xu Zixian said: "Ren Du is in charge, don't you even have anyone to serve here?" ”

"It's all gone...... Ren Zhong's eyes showed hatred, but soon he lowered his head again, and he snorted: "It's also the last general who has no way to control it......"

Xu Zixian laughed and said unceremoniously: "I gave money to persuade them to leave, do you resent it?" ”

Ren Zhong gritted his teeth and said: "It's always the fault of the last general, there are so many ...... subordinates who violate military law."

"Corruption, empty salaries, lack of diligence in training, and even unwillingness to contribute, most of the Great Wei Xiang Army is like this." Xu Zixian said suddenly: "Ren Zhong, you must think that I am trying to find fault with power, deliberately making things difficult for you, and doing this for you to set you up?" ”

"The last general would not dare to think so."

"What do you think......" Xu Zixian stared at this general, and said sharply: "The box army is not good, resulting in local thieves running rampant, how many good families, before going to bed is still a family and harmonious and happy, at night a group of thieves came, the man died, the woman was plundered, the child became orphaned and lived on the street, the old man could only starve to death, it was the pirates who created the evil, you generals, how can you be irresponsible for these blood debts?" ”

"The deployment of the imperial court is so ......"

"Stop talking nonsense, ask your own conscience, and see if it disagrees with what you say!"

Ren Zhong lowered his head and stopped speaking.

If his subordinates were all there, surrounded by military attachés and soldiers, Ren Zhong would have laughed without guilt. If it is an ordinary person who speaks, I am afraid that he will have to ask his subordinates to beat him up and then drive the madman out.

It was Nan Anhou who could speak, even if his subordinates were there, Ren Zhong didn't have the courage to touch Xu Zixian's finger.

And now that the surroundings are silent, all the subordinates are defecting, but Ren Zhong was reprimanded by Xu Zixian in extreme pain, and the guilt that had not appeared for a long time in his heart finally resurfaced.

Once upon a time, Ren Zhong, who was in his twenties, was also high-spirited, born in the sailor general, the Ren family and the Yu family are both Fujian sailor families, the Yu family has withdrawn from the sailor, the Ren family is still the backbone of the sailor, but the scale of the sailor is getting smaller and smaller, and there are more and more damaged warships that cannot be repaired...... Ren Zhong remembered that when he first got on the ship, he looked at the damaged battleship and felt distressed, and he didn't know when it started, and he became indifferent to all this? He even deducted and embezzled the funds for repairing the warship, embezzled it to buy land and land, and buy gold and silver beads to support his little wife...... When did you become like this?
