Penglai Water City was determined to be the location of the newly formed water division, which is known to everyone, there are already 5,000 Jiangning battalion soldiers, stationed in Penglai City, Su Tiancheng brought 20,000 Jiangning battalion soldiers, divided into four parts, part of which is stationed in Weihaiwei, part of which is stationed in Dengzhou City, and part of which is stationed in Laizhou City.

Su Tiancheng's idea, the newly formed sailor, still need to transfer the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion, the quality of these sergeants is different, accustomed to obeying orders, as for the newly recruited 12,000 recruits, it still needs time to train, especially in terms of ideology, it must be completely unified, although the 12,000 sergeants recruited this time are not the same, the physical quality is very good, most of them are the guards of Shangjia, as well as the young people of the Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe.

Of the 12,000 newly recruited, 5,000 followed Xiong Zijian and were stationed in Weihaiwei, 3,000 in Laizhou, and 4,000 in Dengzhou. The barracks in Dengzhou and Laizhou are large enough, and when they were first built, they had already been planned, and the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion who came to Dengzhou and Laizhou before had been seriously repaired, with neat barracks and bright playgrounds, and when the recruits entered, they felt different.

After arranging the affairs of Weihaiwei, Su Tiancheng returned to Dengzhou Capital City, and then came to Penglai City.

The newly built Penglai City, larger than the original city, half of the city belongs to the military camp, when it was first built, Deng Hui suggested that the entire Penglai Water City, have been built into military camps, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter, Su Tiancheng did not agree, he knows very well that the status of Penglai City is different, many people want to come here to worship Buddha and seek immortals, thinking that they can become Buddhas and immortals, and Penglai City is called a fairyland on earth. The military camp is completely occupied, which will cause dissatisfaction among the common people, and at the same time, with the prosperity of Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou, the common people of Penglai City, as well as high-ranking officials and nobles. There will be more and more, and the sailor will definitely not be able to occupy this place alone.

In Penglai City, the focus is on repairing two types of buildings, the barracks and the fort are needless to say, in the place of the port of entry and the port, the construction of a huge fort, then Bi Maokang and others developed a special artillery, will be settled here, another type of building. It's the temple, this is what everyone didn't expect, there are too many places that need to spend silver taels, Su Tiancheng decided to repair the temple, about this situation, Su Tiancheng has not explained.

Deng Hui's organizational ability is still good, and the method proposed by Su Tiancheng is adopted, and all the people who come to work. All of them were paid in a timely manner, and the people were able to get the money quickly. The enthusiasm is very high, obey the dispatch of the overseer, arrive before dawn every day, and after dark, they have to work with torches for a while, they know it. With such busyness, you can get more wages, especially the group of Han people who came back from outside the Guan, most of them are young and strong, and some have strength. Life is good, I can get the silver, and I don't have to do things desperately.

When Su Tiancheng and his entourage entered Penglai Water City, Sun Chuanting and Wu Sangui were already waiting at the city gate.

The 5,000 soldiers of the Jiangning battalion were completely arranged.

The barracks is divided into two parts, one part is the barracks, the other part is the seaside forts, docks, etc., the place where the sergeants are stationed is also divided into two parts, learning the lessons of Dolgon's attack on Penglai, several rows of barracks have been built on the wharf, which can station more than 2,000 sergeants, plus the mighty forts, it can be said that the defense here has reached an unprecedented height.

When Su Tiancheng entered the city, he paid attention to Wu Sangui's expression.

When he came to Dengzhou, Wu Sangui must have resentment in his heart, but he didn't dare to disobey the military order, plus Wu Sangui's previous subordinates were almost dismembered by Su Tiancheng, nearly half of the hundreds of thousands of sergeants were dismissed and became farmers, and thousands of officers were sent to Yulin and directly under the command of Lu Xiangsheng.

Wu Sangui is willing to fight hard, after all, he is not very old, he has not been tempered so much, and it is far from what he was later, in this case, Su Tiancheng still has to use Wu Sangui, if Wu Sangui can obey his command and honestly take root in the Jiangning camp, Su Tiancheng will consider giving Wu Sangui a good future, if it is still like before, all he thinks about is his own interests, then Su Tiancheng will not be polite, and decisively refrigerates Wu Sangui.

Sun Chuanting and Wu Sangui took Su Tiancheng and his entourage directly to the barracks and began to introduce the situation inside the barracks, including the arrangements for sergeants and how to carry out training and other measures.

The training of the sailor is completely different from the training of the cavalry infantry, the sergeant must first know the water, unfortunately, there are not many soldiers in the Jiangning battalion who know the water, just this one, it takes a lot of effort, and this is only the first step of the long march of thousands of miles, there are too many things, waiting for Su Tiancheng to do.

Su Tiancheng was in Penglai Water City, looking very carefully, everywhere he went, he asked about the relevant situation, such as camp construction, fort construction, etc., some questions, even Deng Hui was dumbfounded, couldn't answer, everyone was very strange, why did Su Tiancheng attach so much importance to the construction of the water division, in their opinion, the construction of the water division is nothing more than to deal with the Houjin Tartars, because the Houjin Tartars began to build and form a water division, so Su Tiancheng, who is responsible for resisting the Houjin Tartars, will naturally start to build the water division, to say how much of a role the water division can play, everyone doesn't understand at all, as long as they can defeat the Houjin Tartars and destroy the Eight Banners Army, there will be no problem with the Ming Dynasty, why should they care so much about the construction of the water division.

The attitude of everyone, Su Tiancheng saw it in his eyes, he sighed secretly, knowing the limitations of the people, the hegemony of the ocean, is not something that these people can recognize, it is not an exaggeration to say that the hegemony of the sea is maintained to whether the Ming Empire can prosper for a long time, to maintain the expansion and aggression of the Ming Empire, and to maintain whether the people can really live a good life.

When such a situation occurred, Su Tiancheng also made up his mind to build a good sailor and a good port, and one day, everyone will always understand the importance of the sailor, but he also has a more urgent task, that is, to make everyone realize how huge the role of the sailor construction is, only when everyone understands the mystery of this, will they do things in a down-to-earth manner, and will always work hard for the strength of the sailor.

Su Tiancheng was also concerned about the construction of the monastery.

The craftsmen invited from the mainland, the craftsmanship is very good, there are many craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty, these people are living at the bottom, empty of the craft, but can not support their families, this is also because the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty, the status is low, at the bottom of the society, is regarded as the three religions and nine streams, without the slightest political status.

However, after these craftsmen came to Dengzhou and Laizhou, the situation changed greatly, and the government valued them very much, and their wages were much higher than those of ordinary people, and some of them were also given to the people, who were directly responsible for the design and supervision of the project.

The craftsmen are respected, the gratitude in their hearts is indescribable, and the only thing they can do is to do things desperately and show their craftsmanship.

In this process, Deng Hui and others, according to Su Tiancheng's arrangement, paid special attention to those carpenters, especially carpenters with unusual skills, registered the names of these people one by one, and at the same time paid attention to letting these people play the role of design.

Deng Hui and Lan Qiaozheng didn't understand the purpose of doing this, but Su Tiancheng arranged it, they had to do it, and it had to be completed to the letter, some outstanding craftsmen came to Dengzhou and Laizhou alone, without bringing their families, Deng Hui and Lan Qiaozheng also had to contact the soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion to move the families of many craftsmen directly to Dengzhou and Laizhou, and also allocate them land and so on.

These measures could not be kept secret, and after the rumors broke out later, a large number of craftsmen began to move to Dengzhou and Laizhou, basically dragging their families with them. The Chinese New Year period is no exception.

Today, it can be said that a large number of craftsmen have gathered in Dengzhou City, Penglai and Laizhou City.

The places where craftsmen are most concentrated are still in Dengzhou Capital City and Penglai City, and I feel that there is a bit of excess taste.

However, Su Tiancheng still demanded that all craftsmen who were willing to go to Dengzhou and Laizhou should be absorbed.

Su Tiancheng carefully looked at the construction of the temple, and what he was most concerned about was the craftsmanship of these craftsmen.

Looking at the well-built temple, the momentum is magnificent, the carpentry is fine, and the slightest flaw can not be found, and the design is very unique, Su Tiancheng smiled on his face.

The purpose of gathering so many craftsmen is, of course, clear, the construction of the wharf requires craftsmen, and the restoration of the city requires craftsmen, and the most critical thing is to cast a large number of craftsmen.

Ships are the core, forming a sailor, and if there are no large ships, it's a joke.

Su Tiancheng's plan to form a sailor, but not a sailor in the general sense, he will not pursue a large quantity, the initial main thing is in terms of quality, in his mind, the constructed warship must be super-first-class, sailing on the sea, no matter what kind of team he meets, he can settle the battle in one battle, and he can make the opponent fear and submit.

Su Tiancheng also has his own advantages, he has obtained a large number of drawings from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry through Lu Shanji, these drawings, there are drawings about the structure of warships, there are drawings of Zheng He's route to the West, including the situation in various places, etc., these drawings have been sealed in the dust for many years in the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry, and no one has paid attention to it at all, but in Su Tiancheng's view, this is a wealth that cannot be measured by gold and silver, a huge wealth.
