Chapter 166 - This is a pit
Zheng Qiushan, who was summoned, was standing outside the Chongxiao Hall at this time, looking up at this simple, but solemn hall in a daze!
Fortunately, Zhang Yun didn't let him wait long, and after processing the documents a little, he didn't delay any longer, and immediately asked people to summon him in. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Subordinate Zheng Qiushan see Hou Ye......"
After Zheng Qiushan saluted respectfully, Zhang Yuncai said slowly: "What is the purpose of looking for you to come, I believe that Tie Niu also told you a little, you should know it now......"
Zheng Qiushan knelt below, looking at this posture, Zhang Yun didn't plan to get himself up immediately.
So he had to kneel down and said: "Lord Tie Niu didn't say anything specific to his subordinates, so he said that Lord Hou plans to let his subordinates go to the navy ......"
After Zheng Qiushan finished speaking, Zhang Yuncai said: "Originally, with your contribution to Li Xiucheng's death, you should have been promoted a long time ago!" ā
"But Ben Hou has been pressing you, always letting you bear the name of a division commander, do you have any resentment about this?"
After Zhang Yun finished speaking, he looked at Zheng Qiushan tightly, and at the same time, Zheng Qiushan, who heard Zhang Yun say this, also suddenly looked up at Zhang Yun.
But when he found that Zhang Yun was also looking at him at the same time, Zheng Qiushan immediately bowed his head and said: "There is a good saying, thunder, rain and dew are all Jun'en!" ā
"Besides, Master Hou, you promoted your subordinates and Weimo, how dare your subordinates be resentful?"
"Haha......"
After Zheng Qiushan finished speaking, Zhang Yun immediately laughed, and at the same time asked him to stand up, and did not continue to let him kneel!
Is it faithful to those in front of you? Zhang Yun doesn't want to pursue it!
I don't want to know if he has been left out by himself for so long, whether he has already had two hearts, Zhang Yun thinks very clearly, as long as his power has not been lost, then what can the people below do even if they are resentful?
Therefore, Zhang Yun, who didn't want to pursue anything more, sent Zheng Qiushan directly at the moment, and immediately went to integrate all the naval forces, and at the same time served as the captain of the Sea Power, and was promoted to rear admiral.
When Zheng Qiushan walked alone to the military port to take up his post, Tie Niu was waiting here, and when he saw Zheng Qiushan, Tie Niu handed him a stack of materials in his hand directly, and pointed to the dozen or twenty tattered wood-hulled warships floating on the sea......
"These wooden-hulled warships on the sea also belong to your command, in other words, you are the naval commander of the Patriotic Army!"
"But since the British and American fleets blockaded the entire Hainan Island, these wooden-hulled warships can only go around in the shallow sea, and they don't dare to go out to hang around at all, for fear of being sunk......"
"So your first task to take over this position is to lead these wooden-hulled warships, as well as that ironclad battleship, to find a decisive battle between the British and American combined fleets and drive them out of the Far Eastern Seas!"
"And these materials for you, that is, the information of the entire navy, the most important of which is the information of the ironclad battleship of the Sea Power, I hope you can take a good look at it, this will be of great benefit to the position you are about to take over."
"Presumably your future days will be complicated...... It's okay for the Sea Power, these tattered wooden-hulled warships will definitely give you a headache, and the water in here is also very deep, as my old subordinate, I can only bless you here to do a good job in this position! ā
"It's also because you're my old subordinate, so I'll tell you one more sentence at the end, you come with your ears, and you can't let outsiders know about this matter......"
Zheng Qiushan knew that the next step was the main event, so he hurriedly and obediently leaned his head over......
After sending the old chief away, Zheng Qiushan took the information in his hand alone, pondering the secret words that the old chief told him in his mind.
Can't recruit Fujian people in large quantities?
The old chief's headless and brainless words made Zheng Qiushan a little confused, but it didn't matter, he just had to do it!
I believe that the old chief will not harm himself, and Zheng Qiushan still has this point.
Then Zheng Qiushan began to be busy recruiting naval soldiers again, at least to fill this sea power first, Zhang Yun's expectations were so high, Zheng Qiushan didn't want to capsize in the gutter!
But when it came time to recruit the navy, Zheng Qiushan was a little dumbfounded!
Experienced naval soldiers are definitely the descendants of fishermen, but in this place with many immigrants in Hainan, Zheng Qiushan found it difficult to recruit a large number of fishermen's descendants.
What's more, there are still a lot of people who need to be recruited this time, not to mention those wooden-hulled warships that need to be filled, but when it comes to the Sea Power, it will take thousands of people to be able to operate.
This notch......
Just when Zheng Qiushan was worried about this huge number gap, many of the old shipwrights who built the Sea Power came to the door en masse and recommended their own sons and nephews to be naval soldiers.
At first, Zheng Qiushan was quite happy, after all, the gap was so big, and he didn't know where to go to recruit the descendants of fishermen.
Isn't it good to have a pillow when you're sleepy at this time?
But when the descendants of these old shipwrights all stood in front of Zheng Qiushan.
Zheng Qiushan remembered the inexplicable words that Lord Tie Niu said before leaving.
The ironclad battleship Haiquan, a total of only a thousand and eight hundred people, can be started!
But the sons and nephews of these old shipwrights came with seven or eight hundred people...... And he also named and wanted to be a soldier in Shanghai!
At this time, Zheng Qiushan was completely sober, if he really let all these people go on the Sea Power, then could he, the captain of the rear admiral, really be able to do it? Or can the ass be steady?
Standing on the deck of the Sea Power, Tie Qiushan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat all over his body!
At the same time, a deep sense of gratitude rose in my heart for the old chief, Lord Tie Niu, presumably if someone else took over this position, Lord Tie Niu's last words might not be spoken......
Although Zheng Qiushan wanted to regret his promise, he didn't know how to speak when he looked at the seven or eight hundred people standing on the deck of the Sea Power in front of him?
So after thinking about it, I decided to use a procrastination strategy to see if I could come up with a good way in the future.
So, Zheng Qiushan could only shout to the seven or eight hundred people standing in front of him: "Everyone wants to join the army, this is a good phenomenon, and the door of our Patriotic Army and Navy will always be open to you......"
"It's just that the number of people Ben General needs to recruit is far beyond your number, so at present, Ben will continue to recruit a large number of people, and Ben will come again when the time comes!"
"After all, our Patriotic Army only has the Sea Power, such an ironclad ship, naturally everyone wants to go to this ironclad ship to be a soldier, and they don't want to go to those wooden-hulled warships......"
"So for the sake of fairness, you can't go directly to this ironclad battleship to serve as a soldier now, you need to be selected!"
"Of course, Ben will definitely uphold the principle of fairness and openness, implement the capable up, the weak down, and will never let you down, provided that you have the ability to do it."
As soon as Zheng Qiushan's words fell, there was a burst of laughter below, someone was deliberately coaxing, who else can compare to our Fujianese's familiarity with sea ships...... This general can't be stupid, right......
Hearing these coaxing words, Zheng Qiushan's heart chilled, but fortunately, he had an idea just now and thought of such a way to delay.
Otherwise, it really makes this group of people who have a very serious group of people...... Especially since each other is from the same place, and some are even from a village, if these people really all boarded the ironclad ship of the Sea Power.
Then Zheng Qiushan felt that he was definitely a naval commander, and he would definitely be tasteless, and maybe he would be directly squeezed out by their group!
And after they were squeezed out, the Patriotic Army probably had no one else to control them, because they already controlled the Sea Power.
I'm afraid that even Zhang Yun won't be able to get them anymore, and after a while, I'm afraid they will become a kind of special force in the Patriotic Army system, listening to the tune and not listening to the propaganda!
Because they held military power in their hands and were adrift at sea, Zhang Yun couldn't help them at all, even if he wanted to build new warships to crusade against them.
It turns out that the skilled craftsmen who can build this kind of ironclad ship are the immediate family members of this group of people, and some are even their fathers!
So the question is, when Zhang Yun wants the old shipwrights to build ironclad ships to crusade against this gang, what will be the result? It's not hard to predict!
Thinking of this, Zheng Qiushan shuddered!
Therefore, he was even more determined in his own idea, that is, these people can be used, but they must be divided and co-opted, and they cannot be grouped......
What's more, when Zhang Yun asked himself to come to take charge of this naval fleet, he probably had already thought of this result!
If he doesn't handle this kind of thing well, let these people form a group, and after he has hollowed himself out, I'm afraid he Zhang Yun will directly clean himself up.
No wonder the old chief's last sentence was so mysterious, it turns out that there are so many meanings in it......
After the seven or eight hundred people on the deck finished arguing, Zheng Qiushan became tough and drove everyone off the ship, even if he offended them all at this time, it didn't matter!
In the future, I will recruit more people from other places and increase the proportion of these people to prevent them from forming a group...... With the urine nature of these people, they will definitely not be able to do anything!
After the deck finally quieted, Zheng Qiushan couldn't help but think...... At this time, Zhang Yun was probably observing his movements.
If you can't solve this trouble, you can compromise with these people and let them operate the Sea Power immediately.
Then with Zhang Yun's decisive temperament, I'm afraid that I won't be able to wait for tomorrow morning, and my head will have to be taken off!
Zheng Qiushan knew deeply that Zhang Yun would definitely not let these people really get on the sea power, although once they got on the sea power, they would be able to form combat effectiveness in a short period of time.
At that time, Zhang Yun wanted to do something to them...... I'm afraid it's not possible at all!
But with Zhang Yun's character, this situation is simply not possible.
Even if he immediately let these people board the ship now, it would be useless, because when these people had not yet formed combat effectiveness, and threatened Zhang Yun in turn.
I'm afraid that Zhang Yun's butcher's knife has already been raised on their heads!
As for myself, I'm afraid that before these people died, the grass on the grave was three feet high!
Because of the reminder of the old chief, he sensed the far-reaching crisis in advance, and at this time, Zheng Qiushan reversed the lazy state he had at the beginning.
Instead, he immediately cheered up and prepared to go to the factory area, asking to see the old chief, saying that he would pull some of his old subordinates over, even if they didn't know water at all, Zheng Qiushan couldn't care so much at this time!
I don't know water, I can learn, but I have a bad heart, that is, it is equivalent to a tree that grows crooked at the beginning, and no matter how much you support it later, it is impossible to correct it again.
Thinking of this, Zheng Qiushan made up his mind, except for some of his old subordinates, most of the other naval soldiers.
Then it is also necessary to recruit the population of other provinces, as for whether they will be able to water, whether they will delay themselves, and go to sea to find the time for the decisive battle of the combined fleet of Britain and the United States, these are not very important!
Zheng Qiushan felt that instead of having a basic fisherman's descendants, it was better to just take a blank piece of paper and paint whatever he wanted, even if he was defeated by the British and American combined fleets for this reason in the future, and was cut off by Zhang Yun, Zheng Qiushan did not regret it!
Zhang Yun once said a sentence, Zheng Qiushan at this moment feels very reasonable: I am not afraid of god-like opponents, but only pig-like teammates!
Because, it is better to have your fate in your own hands......
When Zheng Qiushan hurried to the factory area, in the Chongxiao Palace, Zhang Yun took a piece of information that the agents had just handed over.
looked at Tie Niu playfully and said, "Ben Hou didn't remind him of anything, but the speed of this kid's reaction is a bit beyond common sense!" ā
"I heard that when he took office that day, Tie Niu, you personally went to send him the information, it seems that you still care about your old subordinates!"
Tie Niu did not answer Zhang Yun's words directly, but asked rhetorically: "At this time, Master Hou, you have nothing to tell your subordinates to do, but you urgently called your subordinates here, why is this?" ā
"Haha......"
Zhang Yun looked up to the sky and laughed for a while, before he said: "Ben Hou invited you over, just to invite you to watch a play, and I don't want to hide from you that Ben Hou has given an order......
"As long as he, Zheng Qiushan, dares to agree to those people's requests on the spot, and let which group of people officially board the Sea Power, then you can just watch a good show when you appear here at this time!"
"That's Ben Hou's tears and slashing horses!"
Hearing this, the muscles on Tie Niu's face jumped, and he said helplessly: "Zheng Qiushan, this kid didn't offend you, did you?" Your old man has a lot of opportunities, can you be guilty of calculating such a small person as him? ā
"Dig such a big pit for him to jump, if it weren't for the quick reaction of his subordinates, I'm afraid this kid didn't get a reminder from his subordinates, I'm afraid he would really jump into the pit now......"
Zhang Yun didn't care about Tie Niu's somewhat resentful words, but smiled and said: "Brainless naval commander, Ben Hou definitely doesn't need it, so the necessary temptation is also necessary, so Tie Niu, you don't need to show Ben Hou any more faces!" ā
After Zhang Yun finished speaking, it seemed that Tie Niu still had a little resentment that had not dissipated......
He could only be reminded: "According to the intelligence, your beloved general Zheng Qiushan is probably already sitting in the factory area at the moment, waiting for you, the old chief, to go back and solve his doubts!" ā
"Shouldn't you go back and give him a good guide at this time?"
"The guide must go back to guide him, after all, he Zheng Qiushan is also a powerful general of his subordinates, so his subordinates will definitely not watch him fall into the pit, it is inevitable to pull him."
"It's just that the next Navy recruitment work, what kind of charter is it? The subordinates didn't dare to be good at it, and they still hoped that the Hou Ye would give them some advice......"
"It's good for my subordinates to go back and talk to the little rabbit...... lest he do something wrong in the middle and annoy you! ā
"After all, in the next recruitment work, you still need your instructions, and your subordinates will know how to do it, so that they will not make mistakes!"
After Tie Niu's grumbling words, Zhang Yun paused for a long time before he said: "Of course, a naval soldier must be able to swim, but everyone is not born with swimming, so they can't learn it!" ā
"So Tie Niu, you can tell him directly when you go back, the source of the navy soldiers, try to disperse to various provinces, and prevent some people from ...... together."
"You know, the navy is not the same thing as the army, once they are at sea...... Then Benhou may not be able to quell the rebellion in a short period of time, so the consequences will be serious! ā
"If he, Zheng Qiushan, really can't recruit enough manpower, then he will directly send thousands of people from the active army units to support him...... Of course, this is just a decision, and you should not use it if you can. ā
"What's more, in this world, there are not many things, that is, there are many people, if you want to recruit thousands of naval soldiers, it is not a matter, if this little thing, he Zheng Qiushan can't do it well, which naval commander, Ben Hou will have to consider replacing people!"
After getting Zhang Yun's clear instructions, Tie Niu did not continue to stay, but quickly left, knowing that in the factory area, there was still a little rabbit cub waiting for him anxiously......
"Lao Tzu told you, that cannon tube can almost be stuffed into a person, really, Lao Tzu never lies, you all know ......"
"As long as you go to the navy, Lao Tzu promises that you will fight until you vomit, and you will never be like you in this factory protection team."
"Normally, you can only shoot rifles and pistols, and even heavy machine guns can't be touched often, let alone cannons!"
"But as long as you get to the navy, it's different, that's where Lao Tzu has the final say, so Lao Tzu definitely has the right to fulfill his promises, how about it, are you tempted?"
Zheng Qiushan flickered a lot, and when he saw a group of old subordinates, he was not moved.
So he opened his mouth again and then flickered: "The artillery of the army, you have all seen it, and even many of you have been in close contact with ......."
"But the broken pipe like a toothpick, and the power of that cannonball like a firecracker, really can't be compared with the navy."
"Lao Tzu told you, that cannon barrel is as thick as a person, it's not a joke, I'm sure many of you have seen it on the edge of the military port, right?"
"You don't know the power of that cannon...... If an infantry like ours can consume at least two or three thousand men in one shot, believe it or not? ā
Zheng Qiushan saw that he still couldn't fool his old subordinates, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious!
You must know that on the navy side, he is a bare-rod commander, so these old subordinates must fool the past a little.
So Zheng Qiushan decided not to be embarrassed, stood up directly, and began to compare the power of the cannonball to his old subordinates, as well as the thickness of the cannonball pipe, and danced very hard!
Does it work? It's really good, some old subordinates have even been stunned by themselves, and they are about to be fooled!
Seeing this, Zheng Qiushan was secretly happy, this time Lao Tzu would not be the commander of the light pole in the past, see if you still want to set up Lao Tzu?
"Ahem......"
But at this time, there were suddenly several coughing sounds outside the tent door...... Tie Niu suddenly appeared outside the tent, looked at Zheng Qiushan with a playful expression, didn't speak, turned around and left.
Looking back, Zheng Qiushan's heart jumped, his behavior was digging into the wall.
So he hurriedly jumped up, couldn't care about it anymore, and continued to fool the old subordinates, but hurriedly chased after him and explained to the old chief......
Tie Niu didn't stop all the way, until he walked out of the factory area and came to the open field, turned his head, and smiled at Zheng Qiushan: "You have only jumped out of my Tie Niu's territory for a few days?" It's immoral to rush back and dig Lao Tzu's corner, right? ā
Zheng Qiushan saw that the old boss was not angry, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time hurriedly answered: "My lord, don't you know, the suffering of your subordinates, your subordinates have simply fallen into the bitter gourd water......
"If it weren't for the adults, you hinted at your subordinates a little, I'm afraid that your subordinates would have planted a big heel at this time, maybe the heads would have landed!"
"Master Hou's temper, you don't know it, the descendants of those old boatmen, all of them are hob meat."
"Forget it, the point is that they still look like they can't do without Lao Tzu, which makes their subordinates very bored, and they even want to kill!"
"There is also the specific regulations for recruiting people, the subordinates are really confused, and they don't dare to ask the Hou Ye, so they can only come back here again and ask your old man for a lesson or two......"
"You old man can't die without help!"
Tie Niu waited for Zheng Qiushan to finish speaking, and then said meaningfully: "You Zheng Qiushan can also be regarded as Lao Tzu's subordinates, the first officer to go out, so you don't have to be afraid, Lao Tzu will help you resist ......."
"As for the recruitment regulations you want to ask, you have also seen what kind of virtues the descendants of those old boatmen are, so you might as well recruit a group of ordinary people who have no foundation, so it is also convenient for you to carry out your work, right?"
After a pause, Tie Niu said again: "As for the group of people who were fooled and lame by you, your former old subordinates, if there are any people who are willing to go with you, you can just take them all away, but the number of people still needs to be limited, just 100 people as the upper limit!" ā
When Tie Niu said this, Zheng Qiushan smiled a little embarrassedly.
After all, digging the foot of the wall is such a thing!
Or was he killed by his old chief and saw the digging incident with his own eyes, how thick-skinned is Zheng Qiushan? I can't help but blush!
