Now the old port has still become a paradise for pirates, a large platform where pirates can openly sell looted goods and goods, and the children of the Lin family who have arrived have become law enforcers in the old port.

In general, pirates of all stripes cherish the rare Lost Paradise of the Old Port, and if they don't give Lawrence face, they will give face to the ten Krupp cannons in the Old Port Fortress that can completely block the strait, and here they can turn the accumulated unpaid burdens into guns and cannons, or repair their ships in the dockyard.

Lawrence, on the other hand, resold the goods to Macklin for a pirate fee. The Count of Botto, which can be described as mutually beneficial, Macklin. Count Botto, while making a fortune, provided Lawrence with all sorts of conveniences and all the news of the British Far East Fleet.

There were a few Macklin. Count Botto even instructed Lawrence to rob the Dutch colony's tax ships, which was really bold.

In his reply letter, Lin Haijiang revealed his general ideas on the construction of the old port and his thoughts on training about 3,000 marines, and drew up a training plan according to the physical training program of the PLA Marine Corps in the previous life.

As for Miller, Lin Haijiang was not in a hurry to carry out comprehensive industrial cooperation with Prussia, and he could only send experienced shipbuilders to the Hamburg shipyard to learn experience and technology, because at this moment Lin Haijiang knew that he had no place to stand, and everything he talked about was a fantasy.

Although Sumatra has certain resources, before the external environment stabilizes, he can only develop and build a small but complete industrial system there, because if he loses the right to control the sea, the facilities on Sumatra Island are equivalent to making a wedding dress for others, so most of the construction in the old port Lawrence is fortresses and gun emplacements.

Lin Haijiang finally instructed Miller to continue to strengthen the discovery and funding of scientific and technological talents, the Hamburg shipyard must withstand the progress, it does not matter if the Germans are slow, and the most important thing is to ensure that the Chinese shipwrights who go to the country can learn technology.

Because two years later, in 1855, the emergence of the gas engine, which had cross-era significance for multiple use of steam circulation, made the ironclad ship, which had been facing insufficient power, become the darling of the middle of the nineteenth century.

Lin Haijiang clearly remembered that in the old photos of the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle, the capital ship of the Yue Army, the Yoshino, was still a side ship gun, and the barrel of the long British Naxon fast gun protruded from the side of the ship more than three meters long. This is only a theoretical guarantee in terms of scientific and technological knowledge, but there are too many unpredictable factors in naval warfare.

Seems to be running out of time? Lin Haijiang frowned and put down his pen and rubbed his temples, only to realize that it was already late at night at this moment.

Woo, woo, woo! The sound of the enemy's horn woke everyone in the Roc Castle, including the residents, who were at a loss for what to do.

It took fifteen minutes for the guards brought by Lin Haijiang to assemble, the grease torches crackling and burning, and a tense atmosphere filled the air.

After a few minutes, Zhang Zheng and Gao Qi rushed to the general's gate with all their subordinates and eleven people, and about half an hour later, the panicked Luo Dinggang and Cheng Wei arrived, and the serious atmosphere of the scene made the two of them frightened, and looked around in fear at the dark surroundings.

Lin Haijiang didn't speak, as subordinates, they naturally didn't dare to ask the reason, after all, this was a trumpet to resist the enemy, which meant that it was military law, and if they really wanted to kill themselves as monkeys, there was no place to cry.

Lin Haijiang casually paced back and forth and said, "That's the case, this official is a little insomnia tonight!" ”

Lin Haijiang saw that all the people below looked puzzled, so he coughed and explained: "It means that you can't sleep, and I'm worried that everyone will drink too much gruel at night and suffocate it, so I told you to get up and urinate!" ”

Liu Quansi, the captain of the team, immediately yelled: "All of them, pee!" Dissolve without saluting when you are done! ”

As soon as the team dispersed, there were two puffs and puffs, and Luo Dinggang and Cheng Wei knelt down in front of Lin Haijiang with bitter faces and said, "My lord! Spare your humble duties! The wife and children of the lowly family and the old mother are there! You can do it, get rid of the two of us! ”

Lin Haijiang, who didn't want to kill these two wastes, smiled slightly and helped the two of them up and said, "It's not that serious, since it's hard and dangerous here, I recommend the two of you to go back to Guangzhou tomorrow to take up your posts?" ”

"Huh?" Luo Dinggang and Cheng Wei suddenly seemed to have fallen into the fog? This new garrison Lin seems to be too kind, right? Could it be that a pit has been dug and waiting for them? But the two of them had no choice.

After Luo Dinggang and Cheng Wei left, Lin Haijiang found that Zhang Zheng and Gao Qi seemed to have a lonely look in their eyes, and by understanding Lin Haijiang, he knew that these two people were from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and they were later replaced to Liangguang, and they belonged to the gang who had no foundation, and his father did not feel sorry for his grandmother and did not love him.

Lin Haijiang summoned Zhang Zheng and Gao Qi to the front and took out two silver-shell pocket watches from his arms, Zhang Zheng and Gao Qi were stunned for a moment, this foreign case is definitely a rare thing, ordinary admirals may not be able to have one, Lin Haijiang put a piece in each of his hands and said: "Believe me, your future is much greater than theirs." ”

Zhang Zheng and Gao Qi looked at the two pocket watches engraved with the four big characters of Jingzhong and the country for a few minutes, and they didn't even know when Lin Haijiang left.

Zhang Zheng and Gao Qi suddenly felt embarrassed, because they didn't hear what Lin Haijiang said later.

Early the next morning, Zhang Zheng and Gao Qi were taken out of the quilt by Lin Haijiang, they had never seen Shangguan who had taken off the quilt in the past, and it was still early.

Lin Haijiang gave Zhang Zheng and Gao Qi two camp heads each, gave Liu Quansi the same two camp heads, and then told Liu Quansi to make up for the lack of a thousand generals, which moved Liu Quansi's eyes red, and Lin Haijiang realized how deeply rooted being an official is in the concept of Chinese.

In contact with the revolutionary party that emerged frequently in the late Qing Dynasty? It turned out to be just a kind of struggle to become an official and become a vested interest, no matter how fanciful the words were, but the facts could never be changed, thinking of this, Lin Haijiang couldn't help but shudder.

For the garrison to recruit six battalion heads? Zhang Zheng and Gao Qi are completely immersed in a dream-like feeling, these years can be described as a chaos, if the recruitment can work, what do you use to catch Ding? Although it is said that the two rivers and Zhili in front of Yanba have been affected by the disaster, and there are a lot of victims in Guangzhou, but this good man is not a soldier, and he is not a nail, and it is also an eternal truth!

If it's not naughty or mischievous or can't get along and has no way out, whoever is willing to go to the army to eat food is an example for the two of them.

However, for the ambitious and ambitious garrison adults, they can only let it go!

returned to Guangzhou by boat, along the way Zhang Zheng and Gao Qi were really stunned by the Zhenyuan ship, and the two landlubbers vomited all the way.

At the entrance of the most lively street in Guangzhou, Lin Haijiang put down the table, and Dapeng guarded a large banner to recruit brave and brave men, and a big sign stood on the side with conditions, obligations, and treatment.

The Chinese have a very special hobby, that is, watching the excitement, Lin Haijiang's guards beat gongs and drums and jumped up and down, plus a hundred soldiers with foreign guns on their backs, and the onlookers suddenly became more than three layers inside and three layers outside.

But after a while, no one signed up? Lin Haijiang couldn't sit still a little, and grabbed a strong man in tattered clothes who was standing in front of the welfare sign in a daze, and the strong man blinked and said, "My lord! I can't read. ”

I...... Lin Haijiang realized that he seemed to have ignored something, that is, most of the people in this era were illiterate, so Lin Haijiang spent money to hire a few storytellers in the teahouse, stood in front of the sign and read aloud: 1. Those who enter our camp must pass a comprehensive assessment.

2. Do not smoke opium; Every four meals are full and well-eaten;

3. Must undergo a comprehensive physical examination and have no history of infectious diseases;

Fourth, the monthly five taels of silver salary, which can be received in the camp or withdrawn from Delong Pavilion;

5. Three months' salary will be paid upon passing the assessment;

6. Compensation for war wounded according to the situation, such as sundries for disabled people staying in the camp;

7. Two hundred taels of bereavement benefits for the dead will be paid immediately;

"Did the adults really give three months first?" A strong man squeezed out the people on both sides and asked in a sullen voice!

Zhang Zheng and Gao Qi are completely dizzy at the moment, the Great Qing Kingdom has never heard that it is so easy to be a soldier? The food and clothing of these six battalions for a year is not counted, and the salary alone is 180,000 taels! If you are equipped with foreign guns and cannons, and you can train a few times, you can't afford to raise 500,000 or 600,000 taels?

Where does the money come from? Zhang Zheng and Gao Qi glanced at each other, this is obviously not their turn to worry, but most of the people who came to sign up are good materials, and the two of them are happy and worried about Lin Haijiang, if they can't cash their salaries, there will be big problems.
