Zhu Daolin, Sa Yide, Hassan, and Zhao Xunting walked out of the gate of the martial arts academy together, and at a glance saw Master Xuanqing Dao Chang, Shi Bo Xuanji Dao Chang and Shi Uncle Xuanfang Dao Chang hurriedly coming from the east avenue, followed by dozens of big carts from the carriage line and more than 100 senior brothers wearing new-style Taoist robes.

Both Sa Yide and Hassan knew the highly respected Xuanqing Daoist, and before Zhu Daolin stepped forward to salute, he had already rushed up to salute respectfully, and after a moment of greeting, he retired with Zhao Xunting, and Zhu Daolin had the opportunity to salute his master, uncle, and uncle.

Daoist Xuanqing took the hand of his apprentice, looked up and down carefully for a while, and nodded: "It's much thinner than before, and the beard is scummy, and he doesn't pay attention to his image." ”

Zhu Daolin laughed and said, "The amount of food is still the same as before, no problem." The disciple only came back in the middle of the night last night, and did not dare to disturb the master, he came to the martial arts academy early in the morning, and saw that the second master was still standing on the review platform to preside over the overall situation, and the disciple was very moved in his heart, if it were not for the full support of Ziyangguan, without the care of the master, the uncle, and the uncles, the martial arts academy would not have the scale and achievements it has today. ”

"Come on, don't be obedient, you are running around, the military affairs are heavy, and you haven't forgotten to send the pharmaceutical machine back, which proves that you still have us old guys in your heart, as well as Ziyangguan, we are already very satisfied." Genfang Dao elder grinned.

Everyone laughed, and the Xuanqing Daoist said let's go together, so he took the hand of his disciple and walked along the avenue to the dock.

Daoist Xuanji quickened his pace, walked to Zhu Daolin's right hand, and saw that none of the familiar guards around Zhu Daolin were seen, so he couldn't help but blame: "Huh!?" Why don't you bring a guard? What about your juniors? ”

Seeing that Daoist Xuanfang had also rushed up, his face was full of concern and blame, so Zhu Daolin no longer concealed it, and explained in a low voice to the three elders as he walked:

"As the fifth uncle said. In order to cope with the war in the north, our army has tripled, and now there are tens of thousands of recruits training day and night in Qingdao and Weihai. ”

"Also. Another unspeakable reason is that the disciples were not very confident about those officers from the Duke of Wei, so they had to push the senior brothers to key positions in advance...... He is now the chief judge of the army, serving as deputy commander of the North Sea Fleet and minister of military justice, assisting Xu Wentao in Weihai to lead 8,500 officers and soldiers and more than 50 warships to carry out training and transport various supplies to Phi Dao. ”

"Zhongjun is good, he has the talent of a general, and he can be trusted!" Daoist Xuanqing said approvingly.

Zhu Daolin nodded: "Senior Brother Yuming is also very talented. With a meticulous mind and a steady personality, the disciple transferred him to the Dongjiang Army under Wu Jicheng as the chief of the military law and the commander of the garrison battalion......"

"This garrison battalion is the first guard battalion formed by the disciples in April last year, and they are all good seedlings, and they can go out to lead the troops after a year and a half of training."

"Senior Brother Yulong has made great progress, has a broad vision and a strong sense of responsibility. The disciple reassigned him to his side and served as the head of the training department of the military command department. Shouldering the heavy responsibility of training the whole army, Wu Jicheng and Zhang Yizhen were reluctant to let him go, and now they are still assisting Wu Jicheng in training troops on Phi Island. ”

"Senior Brother Yuhu felt that his brain was not enough, and asked to return to his disciple to continue studying, and now he led the personal guards to follow Yulong and them while training, while learning tactical theory."

"Others, such as Senior Brother Li, Senior Brother Chen, and others, were all transferred to the Navy and Army Ministries by their disciples. As a deputy general or military judge, the remaining dozen juniors are only half a year old because they are all under 20 years old, and they still need to train and study with Yulong and Yuhu in the pro-guard team. ”

Daoist Xuanqing and the others unanimously said yes, and they were very relieved that Zhu Daolin was reusing the practice of his fellow disciples. He believed that this was the only way to keep the army firmly in his own hands.

The crowd soon came to the empty military dock after the reorganization of the army.

At present, all the warships and officers and men of the naval division in Shangyuan Port have been transferred to the Longtan military wharf to protect the important industrial base and weapons manufacturing base......

The Bagua Island Shipyard, which is under construction, needs to mine a large amount of stone from the nearest shogunate mountain, and at the same time mine the stone, expand the original shooting range several times, and build a bigger and better shooting range for the students of the martial arts academy on this basis.

In the 6,000-strong barracks, only 120 retired veterans remain at the fort and barracks, and when the first batch of junior naval cadets are recruited in the fall, these local veterans will receive half a year's salary and return to their respective homes.

On the periphery of the military warehouse, only 32 guards who had been left to recuperate from their wounds were stationed, all of whom lived in the barracks separated by a wall on the east side of the courtyard.

Zhu Daolin replied to the two old subordinates in a dignified manner, took out the key, opened the wide iron door of the military warehouse, and led Xuanqing Daochang and others into the courtyard.

The following convoy of horses and horses rushed in under the command of the Xuanfang Dao Chief.

Hundreds of dock workers hurried in, and together with the Taoist priests of Ziyang Temple, they carried large and small sturdy wooden boxes onto the carriage.

Zhu Daolin briefly introduced the effectiveness of this batch of machinery and equipment to the three elders, and finally specially advised: "Each wooden box comes with an installation manual!" ”

"Three copies of the "Instruction Manual" and "Maintenance Manual" have been handed over to the second uncle, although everyone can understand at a glance, but the disciple feels that it is better to invite the experts of the mechanical research group of the research institute to install better, they are very familiar with the existing machinery and equipment, most of the year to imitate the animal power rice milling machine and two hydraulic processing machine tools, the improved production of pressurized water wells has been sold to the north and south of the river, according to the map Suo Ji to create a small animal power cold rolling machine can roll all kinds of copper, Wu Gonggong's silver bureau, The mint of the Duke of Wei and the jewelry workshop of the Marquis of Longping both used animal-powered cold rolling mills. ”

"In addition, in mid-October last year, I sent 26 craftsmen who were proficient in machinery to Baguazhou to study steam engines, led by Zhang Xiangling, the technical director of the shipyard, he took all the 24 steam engines I quietly brought back to Baguazhou for disassembly and experimentation, I heard that the imitation of a small steam engine can pump water for 10 hours without failure, I will go tomorrow to see what it looks like."

"So, the shipyard will soon be able to build a steam express ship like the Tianshu Pavilion that travels five hundred miles a day?" Genji asked curiously.

Xuan Qing and Xuan Fang were greatly surprised when they heard this, no one knew that Zhu Daolin had quietly developed a steam engine that had been rumored to be miraculous in Bagua Continent. (To be continued.) )
