"Poof!"
Fluttershy can't help but laugh, and Chen Yuanyuan gives Fluttershy a white smile and Fluttershy, who quickly spits out her cute little tongue and grimaces at Zhang Feng.
Hearing the laughter and seeing Fluttershy's grimace, Zhang Feng reacted, and he couldn't help but laugh, because in front of Zhang Feng, Zhang Feng ate more than half of the plate of meat in the pot, and it was all on his own side.
Zhang Feng and Chen Yuanyuan were eating just now, because they were thinking too much, Zhang Feng himself didn't know that half of the plate of meat that was closest to him was eaten, and this plate of meat was clean by Zhang Feng's half of the plate, and the other half of the plate was almost not moving.
Chen Yuanyuan said thoughtfully: "Brother Feng, don't worry too much, don't be tired of your body." ”
Feeling Chen Yuanyuan's strong concern, Zhang Feng's heart warmed, "It's okay, it's not bad to be tired, it's just that there are too many things, and I don't even have time to accompany you when I'm busy." ”
Chen Yuanyuan said: "Brother Feng! ”
The relationship between the two is getting better and better, and Zhang Feng tries to come back every day, and he can find time to be with Chen Yuanyuan.
The only point, no matter how sweet Zhang Feng is, Chen Yuanyuan insisted, unwilling to marry Zhang Feng, only willing to be Zhang Feng's concubine, which made Zhang Feng very helpless.
………
It's late at night.
Zhang Feng's study was still brightly lit, and in front of a large exquisite mahogany desk, Zhang Feng was writing something on a blank piece of paper.
There are already sixteen steam-powered ships, and there may be twenty-six, thirty-six, and more and more steam-powered ships.
In addition to the wooden steam-powered ships, there are also the expected ironclad ships, the ships are available, but what is lacking is talent, and an excellent naval talent is needed.
In addition, of course, is to build a naval port, as a traverser, Zhang Feng naturally knew that Zhoushan, not far from Shanghai, could be built into an excellent military port, and the later Zhoushan military port was famous, Zhang Feng decided that the first military port was built in Zhoushan.
The location of the military port was set in Zhoushan, and as for the specific construction plan, Zhang Feng had to go to Zhoushan to check it in person before it could be decided.
There is no shortage of ships for the time being, the location of the military port can be determined, and what is most lacking is an outstanding naval talent and a leader in the development of the navy.
In Zhang Feng's mind, names flashed one by one, from Wang Chaoyong and below, to some battalion and regiment-level officers that Zhang Feng was familiar with, Zhang Feng found that there was no suitable candidate.
These officers, as army officers are undoubtedly excellent, but the navy and the army are absolutely different, excellent as army officers, but not necessarily competent officers in the navy.
One by one names flashed in his mind, and after thinking for a long time, a person's name was frozen in Zhang Feng's mind, and Zhang Feng finally patted his thigh, his face was happy, and he was ecstatic in his heart, why didn't he think about this person.
Zhang Feng almost laughed happily, just as Chen Yuanyuan came in with a bowl of hot ginseng soup, seeing Zhang Feng's happy face, he gently put the ginseng soup on Zhang Feng's big desk, and said happily: "Brother Feng, what is so happy." ”
Zhang Feng was happy in his heart, and when he saw the beautiful Chen Yuanyuan, he happily hugged Chen Yuanyuan, held him in his arms, and kissed Chen Yuanyuan on his smooth and white forehead.
"Yuanyuan, everything is solved, there are already suitable candidates, haha......"
Seeing Zhang Feng so happy, Chen Yuanyuan was also happy, but the door of the study was open, and Chen Yuanyuan's face was still slightly red when he was held in Zhang Feng's arms like this.
"Brother Feng, I'll be foolish when Fluttershy sees it."
Zhang Feng laughed, "Hug your own woman, what are you afraid of." ”
Not to mention, Fluttershy was coming over with a few delicate snacks, presumably to deliver supper to Zhang Feng, and quickly walked to the door of the study, and saw Zhang Feng hugging Chen Yuanyuan in the study, Fluttershy's face turned red, and the fawn in her heart crashed wildly.
Fluttershy blushes, turns around, and walks back. Fluttershy's traditional beliefs are deeply ingrained, and she knows that sooner or later, her personal maid will also be Zhang Feng's person, but Fluttershy, who is not in a human situation, can't help but feel her heart beat wildly when she sees a scene like this.
Fortunately, Zhang Feng didn't see Fluttershy, and Chen Yuanyuan naturally didn't see Fluttershy because he was leaning on Zhang Feng's arms, otherwise, Chen Yuanyuan would really be embarrassed.
The navy candidate has been decided, Zhang Feng was in a good mood, hugged Chen Yuanyuan, made Chen Yuanyuan's face red, and gently hammered Zhang Feng a few times.
Zhang Feng picked up Chen Yuanyuan, stopped drinking the ginseng soup, and walked towards his bedroom......
……….
Songjiang Prefecture Prison.
Zhao Weibin was lazily catching lice, staying in this prison for a long time, Zhao Weibin himself forgot the time, and he didn't know what year it was.
"I don't remember, I don't know if I spent four years in this prison, or five years, or six years." Zhao Weibin thought in his heart.
Suddenly, Zhao Weibin missed his former group of brothers a little, especially in the years when he was in the water division, Zhao Weibin missed it very much.
Sometimes, Zhao Weibin even thinks that if he hadn't been framed by traitors, if it weren't for the corruption and darkness of the Ming Dynasty, he wouldn't have fallen like this, and now he should at least be a guard commander and a fellow knower.
"Hey...... "It's all gone.
Zhao Weibin thought about his current situation, couldn't help but take a deep breath, waved all kinds of things in his mind, stood up, and prepared to practice the "Five Elements Exercise".
While practicing the "Five Elements Exercise", Zhao Weibin couldn't help but think of the young man who taught him the Five Elements Exercise, Zhao Weibin thought in his heart, if he has the opportunity, he must ask for advice again, this "Five Elements Exercise" should have a lot of follow-up movements that have not taught him.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the cell door, several jailers opened the cell door, and one of the leading jailers shouted loudly: "Zhao Weibin, come with me, Mr. Zhang wants to see you." ”
"Mr. Zhang, which Mr. Zhang?" Zhao Weibin said loudly: "Lao Tzu is not free now, Lao Tzu is not going now!" ”
The leading jailer said: "Yo, you are not small, Zhang Zongbing wants you to go over, and you are still playing music." ”
Zhao Weibin got up scolding, and very reluctantly followed these jailers out of the prison and walked into the back hall of Songjiang Mansion, Zhao Weibin was stunned.
In the hall of the back hall of the palace, the prefect Tan Yixian is drinking tea with Zhang Feng, for Tan Yixian, Zhao Weibin knows him, in this lobby, in addition to Zhang Feng and Tan Yixian, where is there any "Zhang Zongbing"?
"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang......" Zhao Weibin thought so in his mind, suddenly looked at Zhang Feng, and said in a daze: "You, you...... You won't be Mr. Zhang! ”
Zhang Feng nodded with a smile.
Tan Yixian said: "This is the general soldier of Zhang, the chief soldier of Songjiang who was personally sealed by Long Live Lord, is the third product, commanding the soldiers and horses of Songjiang Mansion, Suzhou Mansion, and Changzhou Mansion. ”
Tan Yixian introduced, naturally there will be no fake, this time, Zhao Weibin was stunned, "You... Are you really the chief soldier, Zhang Zongbing? ”
Zhang Feng smiled and nodded lightly again.
Seeing Zhao Weibin staying on the spot, Zhang Feng waved his hand gently, Tan Yixian and the others immediately retreated cleanly, and only Zhang Feng and Zhao Weibin were left in the entire back hall.
Zhang Feng said: "Sit, drink tea, let's have a good talk." ”
Zhao Weibin looked at his tattered clothes, touched his bearded face, and smelled the unpleasant smell emanating from his body, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Staying in the prison for a long time, it must be like this, Zhang Feng didn't mind this at all, beckoned Zhao Weibin to sit down, and then said.
"Zhao Weibin, a native of Songjiang Prefecture, thirty-four years old, military membership, served as the general manager, 100 households, 100 generals, five years ago Jinshan Weishui Army general, for beating Zhao Shuiquan and offending Zhao Guangcai and was imprisoned......"
Zhang Feng introduced Zhao Weibin's situation clearly, which made Zhao Weibin stunned, wondering how Zhang Feng knew so clearly.
Of course, Guan Peng told Zhang Feng after the investigation, and Zhang Feng now told it in front of Zhao Weibin.
Zhang Feng said: "It's enough to stay in prison for five years, how about it, are you interested in becoming my subordinate, going back to your old job, and being the commander of the navy for me." ”
Zhang Feng was originally going to say "Commander-in-Chief of the Navy", but after thinking about it, Zhao Weibin might not understand what he said, so he said "Commander of the Navy", which meant the same anyway.
Zhao Weibin's face was first excited, but the excitement quickly faded, and he sighed: "Forget it, Zhao Guangcai's dead eunuch won't let me go, I'll go back to prison." ”
Zhang Feng said: "Zhao Weibin, if I tell you that Zhao Shuiquan has been killed by me, and Zhao Guangcai has already rolled out of Songjiang Mansion and no longer dares to come back, believe it or not." ”
Zhao Weibin didn't believe it at first, but seeing that Zhang Feng's eyes were clear and he didn't look like he was lying, Zhao Weibin nodded and said, "I believe it." ”
Zhang Feng waved his hand and said: "Zhao Weibin, you are out of prison now, go wash up, clean up, and in half an hour, I will take you to a place." ”
Zhao Weibin originally wanted to say, "Let me think about it again", but seeing Zhang Feng's eyes and feeling the momentum emanating from Zhang Feng's body, Zhao Weibin swallowed his words back, nodded and said, "Okay, give me half an hour." ”
Zhang Feng said: "Go ahead, I'll wait for you in this back hall." ”
Zhao Weibin didn't take half an hour, it was estimated that it was only half an hour, and then he was clean and neatly appeared in front of Zhang Feng, after cleaning up, Zhao Weibin looked much younger and more energetic.
Zhang Feng took Zhao Weibin and first went to the Shanghai shipyard.
I first looked at the "Shanghai" ironclad ship under construction, then looked at the steam-powered transport ship, and even took a ride on the steam-powered transport ship.
At this moment, Zhao Weibin was not calm, and he was far from thinking that there were still such ships in the world, and the warships he used to have in the Jinshan Weishui Army were nothing compared to these, and there was no way to compare them at all.
Then, he went to the Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Bureau and looked at the rifled muskets and 70-millimeter guns in the manufacturing, and Zhao Weibin immediately decided.
"General Soldier Zhang, the soldier dies for his confidant, the Chief Soldier is so important, I will follow the Chief Soldier in the future, go to the soup and go to the fire, and I will not give up."
Zhang Feng smiled happily, the leader of the formation of the navy finally has, in Zhang Feng's opinion, this Zhao Weibin is really good, not only proficient in the army, the army is very good at marching and fighting, but also has been in the navy for several years, and he also knows the set of the navy very well, and he is a very rare talent.
In the next few days, Zhang Feng took Zhao Weibin and took a steam-powered ship to Zhoushan in person, and selected a site to build a naval base in the Zhoushan area.
Zhang Feng also made a big deal and allocated ten steam-powered ships to Zhao Weibin, with 200,000 taels of silver in advance, and will continue to add them in the future.
Zhang Feng promised that in the future, he would build 1,000 or 2,000 powered transport ships for the newly formed navy, and promised to build a large number of ironclad ships.
Zhao Weibin also followed Zhang Feng's instructions, and soon entered the role, formed a navy, and built a naval base in the Zhoushan area.
