Entering the tenth month of the lunar calendar, the temperature in the north and south of the river plummeted, the cold north wind howled, and the continuous winter rain for two consecutive days made people feel even colder.

Shangyuan Port in the north of Jinling City does not seem to be affected in any way, the crowded civil wharf all kinds of cargo ships shuttle back and forth, four manpower-driven tower cranes, from morning to night without a moment to stop running, the raw materials required by the major workshops and the various products manufactured, are unloaded and loaded on the wharf, in and out.

The shipbuilding workshops south of the quay are busy.

Today, the number of shipbuilders has grown to more than 5,500 and they work in three shifts, day and night. In the dock, two new 550-ton warships are in the final stages of drying, and another 300-ton fast warship and two 500-ton transport ships have completed a half-month sea trial.

The three empty docks are undergoing final clean-up work, and three 800-ton military ocean-going transport ships will soon be built at the same time.

Comparatively speaking, the heavily guarded Shangyuan military dock is much more deserted.

Except for the northernmost shooting range, where guns are fired every day, quarrying and transported to Baguazhou, the forts, barracks and docks are very quiet.

Six 80-150-ton fast patrol boats lined up on the edge of the pier, and the 3,760 naval recruits, who were much darker and much stronger, were conducting land drills, and they had finished the second phase of training, rested for three days and then began the third phase of water combat training.

Before the end of the year, the recruit training period will end, and those who pass will be assigned to the fleet that is constantly going back and forth between Baoshan Port and Yingzhou Tamsui Port, and officially become the desirable Ming Empire Navy soldiers.

The recruitment notice for military doctors at the entrance to the military dock has been posted for three days.

Since the beginning of October, the same recruitment notice for military doctors has been posted in every county and town within a radius of 300 miles, and the same recruitment notice has been published in the lower half of the front page of the famous "Jiangnan Times."

Ruan Dayue, who was forcibly pushed to the position by Zhu Daolin and became famous all over the world, personally wrote a review article. He gave high praise to the Jiangnan New Army, and pushed the new measure of recruiting military doctors to the moral height of protecting the family and defending the country.

The recruitment of military doctors in the Jiangnan New Army has offered many new measures, such as the ability to decide whether to stay or go at the end of the five-year service period, the division of five technical levels according to real talent and actual learning, the generous military salary of a minimum of 20 taels of silver and a maximum of 70 taels of silver per month, and the fact that medical officers at all levels can enjoy the benefits of officers at all levels and can apply for their families to accompany the army, and so on, causing a shock among the people within a radius of hundreds of miles.

The Xinglin masters, who were hidden among the hundreds of thousands of displaced people, were moved to sign up for the recruitment, and doctors with a little fame from all over the country rushed to the Nandaying, the headquarters of the new army in Jinling City, and the news was spreading at an alarming speed to Huguang, Jiangxi, Jiangbei, and even the remote Bashu region.

With the increasing number of medical officers and military medical conscripts. In the face of an exclusive interview with the Jiangnan Times, two senior military doctors sent by the Wei Guogong Mansion confidently made a prediction: "In the next two months, more children from medical families will come to apply, and there will be no problem in recruiting 200 senior medical officers and 500 battlefield ambulance military doctors!" ”

All kinds of news that come out of the southern battalion of the new army every day have become the talk of the town and outside the city, and the jokes made by a certain half-bucket water tour Fang Langzhong when he applied for the examination have become interesting stories that the people of Jinling talk about, and the Jiangnan New Army, which has been full of news since its establishment, has once again become the focus of attention.

The corresponding is that: The Ziyang Temple, the emerging Taoist holy land, was covered with gloomy clouds and silence.

The news that the Jiangnan New Army suddenly recruited medical officers on a large scale brought great pressure to the Daoists of Ziyang Temple, and everyone, including the abbot Daoist Xuanqing, finally saw Zhu Daolin's tough attitude and deeply realized the huge crisis contained in it.

######

On the evening of the third day of the first month of October, seven deacons, including the respected Taoist Xuanyue Daoist, gathered at the main hall of the abbot Taoist Xuanqing, and the worried Xuanqing Taoist priest signaled the senior brothers to sit down and instructed the disciple Yucian to go to the main courtyard of Hushan in the west again.

More than ten minutes later, the ten-year-old little Taoist priest Yu Chan rushed back out of breath to report: "Senior brother still hasn't come back!" ”

"Ahh

Xuan Qingdao let out a long sigh. With a wave of his hand, the jade cicada stepped back, and said helplessly to the senior brothers sitting on the left and right: "I didn't expect that this time Dao Lin would be so decisive. But I am convinced that he made a decision in a hurry, and he would never betray my Puritanism because of this. ”

The Taoist chiefs nodded frequently, everyone knew Zhu Daolin's good morality, even if Zhu Daolin was extremely dissatisfied with the conservative Ziyang Concept, who was still hesitant to this day, he would not betray the Ziyang Sect and betray the Shangqing faction.

However, Zhu Daolin, who has always been the same, will definitely start a new business in the field of medicine, so as to reduce or even stop supporting the Ziyang Temple and the Shangqing faction.

"Big brother. What do you think about this? ”

Daoist Xuanfang asked Senior Brother Xuanyue, because Daoist Xuanyue was the first descendant of the Shangqing Sect's medical divination, and Daoist Xuanyue had always been in charge of the medicine of Ziyangguan.

Daoist Xuanyue has also been under tremendous pressure these days, and as a senior disciple of the Medical Divination Sect, he thinks more than anyone else. Therefore, he did not hide his views and thoughts:

"Everyone knows Daolin's character very well, and no one can change what he decides......"

"This time, in the name of the Jiangnan New Army, he recruited medical officers with great fanfare, mainly to prepare for the upcoming battle in the north, and it was also the first warning he issued to us hesitant old guys!"

"No matter what you think, I absolutely believe that he has made up his mind and is ready to start anew, and I dare to assert that he will build a large medical school at the foot of Laoshan Mountain in Jiaozhou Bay in the name of the New Army or the Daming Water Division, and what we are not willing to do, it is not necessarily that the Quanzhen Dragon Sect of Laoshan is unwilling to do it."

"You must know that the medical skills and martial arts of the Quanzhen Sect are not under my Shangqing Sect, even if the Quanzhen Sect is unwilling to do it, Dao Lin has a way to recruit enough people to do it himself...... With his temper, maybe he will create a new sect for the world to take a good look at. ”

"yes, I think so too...... If he really pushes him to be anxious, he will definitely do it with his temperament! Have you not seen the great heart of the Dao Lin? If we lose the support of Dao Lin, not to mention our medical divination sect, I am afraid that the entire Shangqing faction will be in a state of collapse! ”

Daoist Xuantao's words were unceremoniously.

Among all the Taoist elders here, Daoist Xuantao is the oldest, and he is the deacon of the ancestral court stationed in Ziyangguan, but he is much more enlightened than the elder brothers of Xuanqing Dao, and he is also the wise elder who can best understand Zhu Daolin's expectation of Taoist reform.

Moreover, Daoist Xuantao is very optimistic about Zhu Daolin's future, otherwise he would not let his beloved apprentice Guo Zhongjun give up everything and follow Zhu Daolin with all his heart.
