"Okay, I've finished reading the strange things, let's go back, the smell here is not good!" After everyone stayed in the biogas digester for nearly half an hour, Geng Jingzhong rotated the dragon's head clockwise, and the flames were extinguished immediately, and then said to everyone.

"Tsk, this thing is really powerful, it has been burning for so long, and the flames have not weakened at all! If you put a big pot on it, you can probably boil a full pot of water! Wang Zhenbang followed back, and was still amazed.

"This is really powerful, build a few more, we don't need wood and coal in the barracks anymore. This thing doesn't have to worry about cloudy and rainy days, and even the firewood room is saved! Li Guangdi also echoed.

The corners of Geng Jingzhong's mouth curled and said: "Don't say it, I've been busy for more than ten days, if there is no result, then I'm too sorry for myself!" Beat it up, there are a few things to discuss with you when you go back! ”

Li Guangdi and Wang Zhenbang roughly knew what was going on, so they stopped talking and walked quickly towards the meeting hall.

"Just a few of us today, Uncle Zeng just went to Nanri Island to inspect. Brother Li, tell me carefully, how are you busy with the two things that were decided some time ago? After sitting down, Geng Jingzhong spoke. In the hall, there are only three Marine Corps commanders, the captains of the first, second, third, and seventh detachments of the Navy, plus Geng Jingzhong, Li Guangdi, and Wang Zhenbang, all of whom are absolute high-ranking members of the Mawei Army. There were four commanders in the Marine Corps, but one of them went to Nanri Island with Zeng Yangxing, and the commanders of the other three detachments of the Navy were also stationed at Pingtan Military Port.

I saw Geng Jingzhong point to him. Li Guangdi arched his hand and said, "The report is from the north." Recruiting things. It was launched five days ago, and it was a qiēshun lì. Due to the unfavorable disaster relief of the local government, and the fact that the officials were greedy for disaster relief money, the affected people in the north signed up enthusiastically, and many of them signed up. At this rate of development, it is estimated that in two days, the first batch of recruits will begin to leave for Fujian. We're going to be ready to take it over! In the south, Shang Zhixin is still hesitating. After meeting him, he hung the old seedlings in the post house, and I believe that in a few days, he should be unable to hold his breath! ”

The people below were all confused, and they didn't know that Geng Jingzhong had sent people north to recruit troops. Only Wang Zhenbang and Zeng Yangxing were the first to learn some news, and several staff officers and several naval detachment captains were still kept in the dark.

After Li Guangdi finished reporting to Geng Jingzhong, he turned to face the generals: "The generals don't know exactly what it is, and the rumors in the army during this period of time must be clear to everyone. That's what I sent to spread it. Shizi and I have never replied to you, so I guess you can guess that it is true! Not bad. We are indeed preparing to take a large island in the sea, but. There is now a Lord there. The strength of the other side is not weak, therefore, we must prepare for battle! ”

"Really!"

"It's true!"

The following seven generals are really excited, not only because there is a battle to fight, but also because opening up territory is the greatest glory of a soldier! The rumors that have been circulating in the army for half a month have now been confirmed, and I am indeed very excited, even several of the officers are in their forties!

"Since it is a rearmament war, it must continue to expand in scale. Wu Sangui has 150,000 horses, and we only have less than 60,000, but the imperial court just sent an edict to the prince some time ago, which is obviously to reprimand us for opening up the sea for trade, but in fact it is to warn us not to continue to expand the size of the army. There was no way, so the prince thought of a solution, which was to recruit young victims from the north and bring them to the island for military training. The total number was set at 30,000, of which 12,000 went to the Marine Corps, and the rest was filled with the Navy. In this way, by the middle of next year, we will have 90,000 heroes! ”

"Mr. Li, there will be a question at the end!" Counselor Bai Xianzhong asked out loud.

"White ginseng collar, please speak!" Li Guangdi gestured.

"Why is the navy taking most of it again, the number of our marines is already less than the navy, and if this group of people is recruited again, the navy will be twice as large as the marines. The last general can't figure it out! The last general still thinks that the Marine Army should not be less than the Navy! Bai Xianzhong said sullenly.

"That's the idea of the last general!"

"What the white ginseng collar said is right!"

The other two leaders also chimed in. Forget about the previous things, this time there are new recruits joining, and they are taken up by the navy again, seeing that the scale gap between the marines is getting bigger and bigger, it is normal for them to be a little dissatisfied in their hearts! The three of them spoke up, but the other four captains of the naval fleet did not squeak, they took advantage of it, and it was better not to speak, so as not to become the target of the attack.

"What's the hurry!" Geng Jingzhong spoke. "I said a long time ago that the size of the Marine Army in the future will definitely not be smaller than the Navy, and there will be more. It's just that the time hasn't come yet, what's the hurry! In the middle of next year, there will be ten months at most, and we will have a big war. Our opponent is a naval fleet, which is much stronger than the sailors of the Japanese Kingdom. So you say, at this stage, is the focus on developing the Marine Army or the Navy? ”

"Don't speak!" Geng Jingzhong looked at a few people and lowered his head, and continued: "We will become stronger and stronger in the future, it is only a matter of time before the Marine Army expands in size, I hope that there will be no such situation in the army in the future!" ”

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

The three of them replied in unison.

Geng Jingzhong glanced at Li Guangdi and motioned for him to continue. Li Guangdi received Geng Jingzhong's signal and continued: "Recruiting people in the north, on the surface, there are several major shops recruiting workers, but in fact, there are people from us who are responsible for the selection, and they must be all great guys who are in good health." Once recruited, they are immediately sent to several island training bases. There are two things we need to do now; First, receive the work. It's not just about transporting them to the island, we have to expand the camp, prepare training equipment, train instructors, etc., a lot of things. Second, pacify the work. This man was recruited, but they didn't know that he was coming to serve as a soldier, so this pacification work was all the more important. ”

Li Guangdi paused for a moment and then said: "How to appease, to put it simply, is to win people's hearts." I think you are also familiar with the road, so I think, if you explain our soldiers' treatment and preferential treatment policies for military families, it is estimated that few people will make trouble! All of these things require your cooperation. I don't know, do you have any difficulties? ”

"Nope!"

"Nope!"

"Nope!"

The eight generals, including Wang Zhenbang, nodded in unison and said in unison. Just kidding, there will be more soldiers under his command, how can it be said that there is difficulty.

"When you go back after the meeting today, the generals will start to prepare. But you are not allowed to reveal your style to other people, and you can't do it to anyone, just arrange for people to prepare for things. Several island bases have already been chosen, and when the time comes, people will send them directly. After the people arrived, the navy was responsible for blockading the island, except for the supply ships, no one else was allowed to enter or leave, and violators were killed! This matter, if the news leaks and the court knows, then the court will definitely take us immediately, and when the time comes, hehe, I don't need to say more about the result! Geng Jingzhong once again cooperated with Li Guangdi and gave orders to the generals!

"Order!" Wang Zhenbang was the first to reply.

"Order!"

"Order!"

Li Guangdi saw that the first thing had already been said, so he turned his head to Wang Zhenbang and said, "Since everyone knows, then please go back and prepare." There are other preparations for picking a good recruit instructor. General Wang still wants to stay! ”

"Yes!" Several generals took the order and went out with a smile on their faces.

"Brother Li, you just said that Shang Zhixin actually hung Miao Changshi in the post house, what's going on?" After everyone went out, Geng Jingzhong immediately asked.

According to Lao Miao's report, it seems that something happened to Shangfu in Guangzhou recently, and after Shang Zhixin saw Lao Miao, he stopped seeing each other. Lao Miao said that Shang Zhixin's words flickered, but he did not give accurate information. I estimate that the Shang family may have also received Kangxi's edict, after all, the scale of their business development in Guangzhou is even greater than ours! ”

"If that's the case, it's not a big deal. I guess he thought about it and then traded with us. That's not in a hurry, the dock of our new shipyard hasn't been built yet, and we have time to play with him! By the way, how is the progress of the new shipyard? ”

"One qiē shun lì, using reinforced concrete to do engineering construction, the speed is fast, this is only half a month, twenty docks have been completed one-third, or it will not be long before it can be completed." Li Guangdi replied with a smile.

The new shipyard has also been placed on the island, and this new shipyard is not as large as the Mawei shipyard in terms of scale, but as long as it can build large warships, anyway, the raw materials in the future will have to be transported from the sea, so that the cost has greatly increased, but as long as you can get the warship, spending money is only a small problem!

The new shipyard is also relatively secretive, and the early workers have already been sent to the island, and they will not be able to return to land for the next year, at least until the warship is built. The entire area around the island is also cordoned off by the navy, and no one can discover this secret shipyard on the sea. No matter how Kangxi has a way, he can't send someone to search the islands in the sea. There are so many islands in the sea that if you want to visit them one by one, it will take nearly a year. By that time, the battleship would have been built long ago and sailed to the sea, and who would let others find out.

The new shipyard is under construction, and after a while, as soon as the timber is in place, many shipbuilders will be able to start work. If you say that before the middle of next year, there will be no problem in forming two new detachments! (To be continued......)
