Chapter 408: No One Available
Ye Shaolong didn't answer Aixin Haoran's proposal in the end, it was his freedom to go outside, and Ye Shaolong didn't have any right to interfere. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
But he came to ask for his opinion, obviously, Aixin Haoran also knew that he wanted to go to sea, and he also needed Ye Shaolong's help. Without Ye Shaolong's help, he didn't know anything about the outside, and he didn't even have a target where to go, let alone a ship and sailor to go to sea.
Ye Shaolong needs to think carefully, Aixin Haoran wants to go to sea, he has no reason to stop him, because what makes it difficult for him is his safety.
Dangers are everywhere on the sea, and you may be buried in the sea at any time, for the sake of Aixin Haoran's personal safety, Ye Shaolong feels that he needs to be cautious about this issue.
The two returned to the city one after the other, and Li Chengke's speed was very fast, and he had already gathered all the people in the city and began to sort out talents with sailing experience.
The city of Tianjin is close to the sea, and the people who live here usually have to come into contact with the sea more or less. There are no accidents, most of them have been begging for a living at sea, and they are no strangers to the sea, especially the waters near Tianjin.
After preliminary statistics, Li Cheng could return to Ye Shaolong with a list of nearly 3,000 young and middle-aged people.
Ye Shaolong opened the roster, and his eyes were full of names, and there was nothing else. Then he frowned and pointed to the roster dissatisfiedly and said, "Brother Li, how do you want me to make a judgment if you make such a roster that has nothing?" At the very least, these people should be ranked first, and a brief description of the person should be indicated after each name. ”
Li Chengke suddenly slapped his thigh, smiled with embarrassment and said that he was not, and then took back the roster and hurriedly went out to implement Ye Shaolong's request.
With Yejiabao's current strength, it was obviously impossible to engage in a naval battle with the Japanese Invaders. Moreover, Ye Shaolong's army did not have any generals who knew naval warfare, and he himself did not understand anything with a black eye.
This has always been Ye Shaolong's sore foot, looking at the inland to find talents who understand naval warfare, this is obviously impossible. If you want to find a person for naval warfare, you must go to Guangdong or Fujian in the south.
Only there he will be able to pull up an exclusive navy in the shortest possible time, think of this. Ye Shaolong felt that it was necessary to implement this idea as soon as possible, and he also made up his mind that he must set off after the turmoil of the Japanese invaders had passed.
Turning to look at Aixin Haoran, who was still silent, Ye Shaolong shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said: "After this turmoil passes, you can go to Guangdong or Fujian with me, maybe there is a chance to meet your requirements." ”
Aixin Haoran's mind has been decided, even if Ye Shaolong cares about his safety, he will not be able to stop him in the end. Rather than letting him face it alone in the end, it is better to help him improve the safety aspect as much as possible.
After all, the more preparation is the more safety, and he can also plan a short-term destination for him first, and when he has experienced the dangers at sea, maybe he will change his mind and not leave.
"Really?" Aixin Haoran still had a skeptical look on his face.
"It's time like this, why am I lying to you!" Ye Shaolong looked at Aixin Haoran with a sincere face.
"Okay, remember to call me when you set off, now I have to go back to Yejiabao to prepare, and some aftermath should also be explained."
"Well, go ahead, go to Li Chengke, he will arrange guards for you to protect you."
Aixin Haoran nodded and said goodbye immediately!
It was getting dark soon, and Li Chengke took the reclassified roster to find Ye Shaolong again and asked him to arrange where these people went.
At this time, Su Can also came back sweating profusely, according to his report, ten cannons had been placed on the turret, and the cannonballs had also been transported.
Ye Shaolong nodded to indicate that he had received it, and then asked Su Can to gather the entire musket battalion to the port and station there.
After Su Can received the order, Ye Shaolong looked through the roster that Li Cheng could re-make. After a long time, he said with pity: "Aren't there any people who have retired from the navy before?" ”
Li Chengke shook his head and said, "No, all the people in the shipyard have been taken away by the Seventh Prince. The rest of the city can be said to be left by him. ”
These seven princes have obviously prepared a way out for a long time, and they obviously want to go overseas to find another job. He took all the shipyards, including the navy, away, but left 5,000 ordinary soldiers alone to defend the city, buying time for him to escape and leave.
Originally, Ye Shaolong still had hope in his heart that he could find someone here in Tianjin City who really understood maritime warfare. Now it seems that disappointment is inevitable, and he must also make a trip to Guangdong and Fujian afterwards.
"Forget it, these people will be arranged to train in the army first, after all, they all know the nature of the water and have a certain understanding of the sea. If you pick two of these people with more prestige to come out and lead these people to train, and you will have more snacks in the future, they may be the backbone of our navy in the future. ”
"Yes, Ye Shuai!" Li Chengke took the order and then retreated.
Ye Shaolong looked up at the sky, and before he knew it, it was already midnight, and the iron tower had not come back yet, so it was obvious that he would not be able to come back tonight.
"I hope you can bring me some good news!" Ye Shaolong muttered, and then went back to the inner room to sleep.
There was no dream all night, and the tower came in a hurry at dawn. The guard outside said that the handsome man had not yet gotten up, but the tower smashed the door and broke in regardless of the obstruction.
"Dashuai, I'm back." The tower's broken voice directly shook the dust all over the room.
Fortunately, Ye Shaolong had been woken up before he broke into the door, and he was getting dressed, and when he heard the voice, he shouted angrily: "Come back, come back, what kind of body is it that you are yelling and screaming." Is there good news? ”
"The handsome man is really amazing, you guessed it." The tower immediately laughed.
"Tell me what the surprise is, if you don't satisfy me, you won't be able to run away with a military stick."
Hearing Ye Shaolong say this, Tie Tadang withered, shrunk his head and said, "We found a fishing village in the suburbs nearby, with more than a dozen families and dozens of people. Among them, there was an old man who claimed to be a craftsman from the former Tianjin City Shipyard! ”
The iron tower carefully looked at the change in Ye Shaolong's expression, and at the same time, he had quietly retreated to the door of the room, as long as he found that Ye Shaolong's expression was wrong, he would definitely slip away as soon as possible.
"Shipyard craftsmen? Where is it? Did the people bring it? After Ye Shaolong was slightly stunned, he immediately became excited.
Seeing Ye Shaolong's reaction, Tie Ta immediately felt relieved, and replied with a smile: "Bring it, people are waiting outside the house." ”
"Bring him to me at once." Ye Shaolong almost roared.
The tower slipped faster than a rabbit, and disappeared in front of Ye Shaolong's eyes in the blink of an eye.
