From the time he came to Jingshi, Liu Jiang did not have any time to appreciate the prosperity of Jingshi, so he devoted himself to busy work.

The only time he found was that after being received by Zhu Di, he hurriedly picked a set of four-entry compounds that Zhu Zhanji helped him pay attention to in Taipingfang.

Although the area of this compound is not very large, the location is very good, located at the foot of Jiuhua Mountain, adjacent to Fuchang Bofangkuan, Qingyuan Hou Wang You's mansion.

He only has one wife and two concubines, the eldest son Liu Tuan died early, and the second son Liu An is now also serving in the army, and this time he did not return to Beijing with him. There are also two concubines, and a concubine is also married, and only two concubines are still in front of them, so a set of four courtyards is enough for the family.

After determining the mansion, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to the negotiation with Zhu Zhanji.

Zhu Zhanji understands the advanced management system of later generations, but applying this set of management plans to the Ming Dynasty 600 years ago needs to be adapted to the place.

For example, in the simple establishment of the fleet, Zhu Zhanji only knew the performance and names of various ships, and the specific functions and roles of various ships, but only understood them slightly.

How to combine these warships with different performance into a fleet with combat effectiveness and reasonableness, and can undertake different combat functions, needs an old commander like Liu Jiang to determine.

This is still the simplest, and others, such as the different war training and combinations of various departments, the coordinated operations between different guard stations, and the formation of a unified command system, are all inseparable from Liu Jiang, a veteran.

They must come up with a more reasonable plan in order to get the support of the Ministry of War and Zhu Di's support.

And only with their approval can this plan be implemented in the army, and through the generals of the naval divisions who are now gathered in Beijing, this plan will be conveyed and implemented.

The sailors of a country go as far north as Nuergandusi, that is, the northern region of Sakhalin. And the southernmost to Cochin, that is, Vietnam in later generations. Stretching for tens of thousands of miles, hundreds of thousands of troops, thousands of warships.

On the southernmost island of Sumatra, Liang Mingdao, the king of the former Srivijaya region, cried and shouted that he wanted to join the Ming Dynasty, and refused to leave after coming to the Ming Dynasty.

His deputy Shi Jinqing led the army and civilians to attach the Ming Dynasty, Yongle five years, Zhu Di ordered Shi Jinqing to be the old port to proclaim consolation, so far, far away on the equator line, there is a piece of land belonging to the Ming Dynasty, and stationed a naval army.

It is by no means an easy task to combine these armies into one management system, and to make each unit combat effective

All ministries and guards do not want to weaken their current strength, but they also want to strengthen their own strength. Therefore, how to coordinate the relationship between them is also a great test of Liu Jiang's ability.

It is impossible for Zhu Zhanji to do everything personally, he only needs to grasp the overall situation and then verify the effect.

Therefore, after Liu Jiang and Zhu Zhanji determined the basic strategy, the first thing he wanted was to set up his own executive organization so that his orders could be effectively carried out.

Almost all of the thousands of sailor generals gathered in Beijing were summoned by Liu Jiang and forcibly incorporated into his own preparatory committee.

After going through the tests designed by Zhu Zhanji, a number of generals with excellent executive and leadership abilities were selected, relieved of their current posts, and directly incorporated into the naval headquarters.

And these people are also from the north to the south, there are generals from all over the country, they are very familiar with the local situation, with their participation, this kind of restructuring action is slowly speeding up.

Zhu Zhanji is very patient, he expects that it will take four months to sort out all the relationships quickly enough.

The work here was given to Liu Jiang, and Zhu Zhanji was busy with the affairs of the young army in the past few days.

Every autumn and winter, Zhu Zhanji would search for a group of orphans from all over the country, and after several months of testing, they would be incorporated into the Young Army.

In the past, Zhu Zhanji only selected orphans around the Beijing Division, and only selected about 120 people every year, and finally ensured that the size of the young army could be controlled at 600 people at three levels.

But last year's Young Army A Company was all divided, and there are only 400 people left, plus the pressure of Zhu Di and the military, so Zhu Zhanji selected another 400 orphans through Jinyiwei last year.

These 800 people have already saturated the capacity of the young military camp, but now, the nobles will also send their own children into the young army, and the size of the young army will become even larger.

However, there is no shortage of instructors now, because even two hundred soldiers can act as instructors, and even the soldiers of the Bingzi Company can be qualified for some instructor tasks.

Now the main training camp is limited, and the original increase of 400 orphans has almost saturated the accommodating capacity, and now the children of Xungui do not know how many people have signed up.

Fortunately, the Xiama Bridge has entered the construction period, although it has entered the spring ploughing stage, but a holy decree, the Xiama Bridge can still maintain a construction scale of more than 10,000 workers per day.

At the same time as building the factories of the 10 research institutes, Zhu Zhanji also expanded the dormitories and sites of the young military camp, which is expected to have a scale of 2,000 people.

This scale will not be expanded for the time being, and before he ascends the throne, Zhu Di will not allow too many people to master astronomical knowledge. Master too many mapping techniques, because if these techniques are mastered by too many people, they will also pose a threat to the Ming Dynasty and the rule of the Zhu family.

For these reasons, except for orphans and noble children, Zhu Di sternly demanded that the young army should not be open to ordinary people.

On the 15th of February, the roads around the Xiamaqiao Farm were congested, and countless horse-drawn carriages were blocked before they could leave the city gates.

Countless noble children could only walk to the farm under the leadership of the guards.

Zhu Zhanji originally asked Ji Gang to send a lot of brocade guards to investigate the performance of these noble children, and whether there were any bullies.

But it is clear that no one of them has been sternly warned, not to mention that on the way, even in the selection process of the young army, there is no one who is pampered and proud.

Compared to the orphans who have been cultivated for several months, the selection of these noble children is not strict.

First of all, the political examination is exempted, and secondly, the entry standard is only to run 10 kilometers within an hour over 15 years old, and the requirements can be appropriately reduced if they are over 10 years old and under 15 years old.

Today's Daming is equivalent to 530 meters, 1060 meters per kilometer, and ten kilometers is just one mile more than later generations.

Even so, there is still a small half that is not finished. They are not malnourished orphans, most of the people who can participate in the selection are rich sons with fine clothes and fine food, this standard cannot be met, and Zhu Zhanji resolutely refuses.

And no one who was picked dared to make trouble, not to mention the Jinyi Guard, who was eyeing him, just leaving a bad impression in front of the grandson was enough for them not to dare to run rampant.

If you don't choose it, it's a big deal to go home and continue to be a rich son, and you can find an errand when you get old, if you register here with your grandson, your future future will be worrying.

At the end of the noisy day, the young army will add more than 400 people to the T-shaped company, and these more than 400 people basically ensure that there are people in every noble family to be selected, and some families have more than one person.

And these people are controlled by Zhu Zhanji, so they can ensure that the interests of the noble class are tied to him, and they dare not act as a wall grass.

What Zhu Zhanji can do is to give everyone a chance to compete fairly, and then try not to let them out of his control.

Although the selection is over, they are not allowed to enroll for the time being, because the dormitory of the farm has not yet been built. They are all pampered rich people, and unlike displaced orphans, they naturally can't sleep a dozen people in one room.

Even if they won't allow the servants to wait. They can't be treated too harshly, so a maximum of four people will be arranged in a room, and the corresponding amount of construction will be a lot more.

At this time, the yamen of the Navy Headquarters was finally built, and Liu Jiang and the others finally had a place to work.

However, according to the habits of the Ming Dynasty, the signboard of this naval headquarters is still the Navy Governor's Office, and Liu Jiang served as the first Metropolitan Governor of the Navy.

However, the signboard of this naval governor's palace is not hung above the gate, but only on the right side of the gate, and on the left, there is also a sign of the naval headquarters.

This signboard can be said to have been hung exclusively for Zhu Zhanji, because his grandson only held the title of naval commander. Although this title is one level higher than that of the Naval Governor, it is not an official position within the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no rank.

It is equivalent to setting up a special position for Zhu Zhanji, the grandson.

Some of Zhu Zhanji's ideas are still a little ahead of his time, because if only the navy has a commander, will the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces also have the post of commander?

If even the official positions of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies were renamed, wouldn't it be equivalent to the reorganization of the entire military attache system of the Ming Dynasty?

Therefore, after careful consideration, Zhu Di still did not make a difference for the navy, but only regarded the super official position of naval commander as a special one for Zhu Zhanji, and it will not be a permanent position in the future.

By the end of February, after the initial chaos, the restructuring of the navy was finally on the right track, and Liu Jiang, who had lost ten pounds, was finally able to take a breath.

At this time, in addition to supervising the procedures, Zhu Zhanji focused his main energy on the preparation for the construction of the industrial zone.

He only needs to supervise the restructuring of the navy, but the construction of the industrial zone needs his full guidance. Otherwise, such an investment will lead to the wrong investment direction, or the phenomenon of duplicate investment.

However, because Ma Zhicai led a research team and had been testing the maximum power that the Yangtze River could drive the waterwheel, he was able to put the affairs of the navy in order regardless of it.

In the past month or so, the test waterwheels on the Jiajiang River have attracted a lot of people to watch the excitement.

Now, all the test data have been obtained, and the Ministry of Industry is also going to start investing a lot of manpower and material resources to carry out preliminary installation tests.

But at this time, no one was flocking to Jiajiang to watch the excitement. Because there is a bigger news outbreak than this, that is, the first person in the Ming army, the pillar of the country, the British Gong Zhang Fu is going to return to Beijing.

Moreover, he also captured Chen Jikuo, the lord of the Later Chen State, as well as most of the ministers of the Later Chen State. Although Chen Jikuo committed suicide by jumping into the water on the way back to Beijing after being escorted, this could not stop people's enthusiasm for watching the excitement.
