However, he said that because Zhang Xianzhong went to a mainland farm [built along the railway, there are military stations, fortresses and border guards along the road, so it is called a mainland farm, which is actually a relatively safe farm], so Zhang Xianzhong only received 50 patrol batons, helmets and 50 sets of patrol uniforms.

Li Zicheng is different, after the Jing Navy received the ordnance, Li Zicheng took everyone to receive 200 brand-new electric switches and a box of maintenance parts, as well as five boxes of Type 01 grenades, three Furlong machines, and 200 steel helmets.

Of course, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were able to receive the ordnance together, but to a certain extent, they were both the face of the Jinghai Navy Huanglong.

"Brother Li, leave here!"

"Take care of your future!"

The matter of the armory is over, and naturally it is time for the two to say goodbye.

Although there were not many words at the time of parting, for these two men who were also from Shaanxi, a word of cherishment was enough to cross thousands of mountains and rivers.

On the other hand, for the generals who accompanied the Jing Navy, Huang Long, the commander of his own army, would take care of a small steward from Shaanxi, but it was really puzzling to them.

Regarding his family's incomprehension, Huang Long said lightly.

"One is for the public here, the other is private, and the public is all my Ming people, and the officials of the same dynasty are all for His Majesty's worries, and they have come all the way to help him."

"Then general, what is selfishness?"

"Privately, hehe."

For Huanglong, at the recent Liaodong Joint Military Conference, Sun Chengzong, the prime minister of Liaodong, adhered to the emperor's will and formulated a strategy of encroachment step by step.

For him Huanglong, the capture of Yaozhou and Haizhou to ensure the reclamation of the empire in Liaodong was a major event in front of him.

Ximu City is close to the Haizhou line where the Houjin Emperor Taiji is entrenched, and it can be said that the empire is the closest to the first-line farm of the Houjin in Liaodong, which Huang Long understands in his heart.

And the so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, grain and grass first, if once you want to send troops to attack Haizhou and other cities entrenched in Jin, then the problem of grain and grass is a problem that must be solved, and now, although the entire Liaodong region has a railway through the double island to the Phi Island line, but from Jinzhou to Fuzhou, Gaizhou line, but there is only a cement official road, if you want to transport grain from Jinzhou and other places for war preparation, it is obviously a little urgent.

So if you want to prepare enough grain and grass for war in the first time, the only way is to get grain nearby, and the state farm located in Ximu City is undoubtedly the best choice, and this is what Huanglong called private.

"By the way, how are the preparations for the Pioneer Battalion?"

"General Hui, the last general will select the best from the battalions, but the pioneer battalion has been formed."

"Well, that's very good, all these five hundred [Ming] firearms have been distributed to the pioneer battalion, and we must also strengthen mountain warfare training!"

"When I return to Fuzhou, I will arrange it immediately!"

However, Huang Long and others did not mention the return to Fuzhou for the time being, but said that after Li Zicheng received the ordnance, he sent people back to the camp temporarily and placed the ordnance properly, but he took two attendants to the twin island cities to take a stroll around, and by the way, he joined Li Guo and others.

However, it is said that although Shuangdao belongs to the military port of the empire, it is not as good as Lushun Commercial Port, but because it is the docking point of the Tianjin Steamship Bureau, and there is the General Military Office of Shuangdao located here, there are many merchants who come and go, so the island that is not too big is also very prosperous.

Walking on the commercial street of the two islands, after some inquiry, Li Zicheng asked clearly about the location of the cement factory on the two islands.

However, it is said that the cement factory located on the twin islands does not produce cement, but is only responsible for the sale of cement to foreign countries, and the real cement factory is located in Lushun Province, which is not too far from here. And it is such a cement factory can make a profit of 100 or 800,000 silver dollars a year, after all, the cement industry is basically a monopoly industry here, and the cement of these two islands is exported to North Korea and Japan.

When Li Zicheng rushed to the Shuangdao Cement Factory, there was a queue outside the cement factory at this moment, after all, the farm that came to Dongjiang today was not only his Hanzhong Farm.

"I heard that this cement is the hottest utensil in the empire, and it really lives up to its name when I see it today!"

"Yes, Lord Li, I heard that our Shaanxi cement factory is responsible for providing cement for our Shaanxi to supply for the construction of official roads and new farms, and the income that year is more than much more than our farm!"

......

said that Li Zicheng, who was bored on the side, was chatting with a few of his attendants, so as to pass the time so that Li Guo could return from the cement they bought.

At this moment, Li Zicheng, who had sharp eyes, found that three or four people wearing yellow military uniforms and tall cowhide military boots were dressed like officers coming from not far away, followed by a few non-commissioned officers carrying seats, but such a group of people stopped in front of the door number outside the cement factory.

After a while, the seat was placed, and then the leader took out a horn and stood directly on the chair and shouted.

"Imperial Military Academy Admissions! All the people of our empire who are willing to serve on the battlefield can sign up, and once admitted, after three years of military school study, they will be directly set to the rank of lieutenant! ”

In response to this sudden shouting, the people or farm workers who were still lining up to buy and sell cement surrounded one after another.

It turned out that this was the Imperial Military Academy registration entrance examination, the Imperial Military Academy, which was established in the second year of the Empire, that is, in the first month of the third year of Chongzhen.

It is one of the three major military academies established by Zhu Jian's reform (the other two major colleges are the Imperial Naval Academy and the Imperial Artillery Academy), and since the first year of the empire, the Imperial Military Academy has recruited about 30 formal cadets in the first session, respectively, in the four subjects of infantry, cavalry, engineering, and baggage, such as topography, city building, weapons, military system, and hygiene, and also study military courses, such as the classics, models, and orders of the military department. In addition, the preparatory class of 50 students will first learn general subjects and basic courses of military science, such as Chinese language, ethics, instrument painting, arithmetic, history and geography, foreign languages, infantry drills, shooting classes, in-battle orders, work classes, field exercises, etc.

This year's enrollment is the second enrollment of the Imperial Military Academy, and it is also the first enrollment in the Dongjiang area.

Because the Imperial Military Academy is directly subordinate to the Imperial Military Commission, it is an imperial institution at the same level as the ministries directly under the Imperial Cabinet Department, so the Imperial Military Academy recruits students in the Dongjiang area, and Liu Xingzuo, the chief soldier of Shuangdao, and Chen Jisheng, the chief soldier of Phi Dao, are quite enthusiastic.

In particular, Liu Xingzuo, the chief soldier of Shuangdao, sent his son to the Imperial Military Academy, hoping that he could return from his studies and contribute to the empire's plan.

And here, although the people don't know much about what a military academy is, in the face of the enthusiastic speeches of the officers, those who are originally with a pure heart are moved.

At this moment, Li Guo finally finished buying cement, but he found Li Zicheng at first sight.

"Uncle!"

"Oh, how, what about the cement?"

"It's all here, it's strange to say, there were still a lot of people, why did they all run away in the blink of an eye, but if it weren't for that, the big guys don't know how long they would have to queue up."

As soon as Li Guo's words fell, he found that not far away, he was already attracted by the crowd watching the excitement.

And at this moment, the officers who came to recruit students sang the school song of the Imperial Military Academy.

Yu Si Wannian, Huanghuang Ming Empire!

The mountains are vertical and horizontal, and the rivers stretch the waves of civilization;

Hundreds of trillions of people are gods, and the land is large and the products are abundant.

Raise my Yellow Dragon Banner and sing my imperial song!

......

Internal unity, external independence, strong I am a hero of the Ming Dynasty.

The flag is displayed, and the sky is clear.

On this day, Cheng Qin was full of energy, successively from Rong, looking at the military flag and pointing at the distance, and pointing at the Rongrong.

......

Hundreds of trillions of people are gods, and the land is large and the products are abundant.

Raise my Yellow Dragon Banner and sing my imperial song! (Note: In the second year of the Ming Empire, Zhu Jian used the five-color red dragon rectangular flag as the imperial flag, the red dragon flag on a yellow background as the army flag, and the red dragon flag on a blue background as the naval flag, in which artillery and cavalry all used the army flag) and this "Ode to the Dragon Flag" of the Imperial Military Academy is from the first president of the Imperial Military Academy, the Minister of the Imperial Political Bureau, and the loyal Bo Hong Chengchou (Hong Chengchou had been the Minister of War for a period of time, and Yuan Chonghuan replaced him, and Hong Chengchou was appointed as the president of the new Military Academy).
