The navy students, who thought they were going to work hard, ushered in more brutal training after running long distances with coffins, and practiced fighting.

Different from the training of the Yunnan New Army, because of the lack of courage of the naval students, the weapons used for training have also become ash rods of the length of swords.

The guards of Lixiangyuan, the new army of the coastal defense battalion, and the Jianwei under Yang Meng's hands are the firing squad that monitors the sparring, and if the two do not do their best to fight each other, the end will be extremely miserable.

Vomiting blood with a stick is considered light, and it is normal to be killed or maimed in a black firing squad.

"If you don't want to be a human, be a ghost!"

Yang Meng, who was sitting on the platform, gave such a sentence, the reason for the black hands of the firing squad is Yang Meng, as long as the firing squad that is unfavorable to the supervision is found, Yang Meng's punishment is also simple, breaking three ash rods.

One of the people in the firing squad counts as one, and none of them can survive two immortal stalks. Yang Meng at the top, the firing squad at the bottom was even more ruthless, and the naval students in the training were completely fighting to the death.

After more than ten days of long-distance running and five days of brutal training, only 12,000 of the 20,000 naval students were left who could stand on the school field with their waists straightened.

"Third master, in the recent period, there have been too many people eliminated, and with such cruel training, I'm afraid that I won't be able to recruit people!"

This is still not what Tan Yubin said, but Ding Taichen said it helplessly, 3,000 people were disabled, these expenses were all from Ding Taichen's side, such a military training method, I am afraid that no one wants to enter the navy!

"Disabled and eliminated manpower. Arrange a livelihood for them. After all, it's all our people. Although I can't be a navy, I have seen the world after experiencing this, and these people are not necessarily bad in other aspects!

As for the problem of manpower, aren't the fifteen business alliances still moving population? There are more people who can't eat in various places, let alone tens of thousands, as long as you have enough food, hundreds of thousands of people are just beckoning to say a word.

It is impossible to train the navy without relentlessness, and the navy is our only shortcoming. England, France, Portugal, Spain, and the Netherlands all have fleets nearby, and they have all accumulated a hundred years of experience in naval warfare, and if they don't train a tiger and wolf division, how can they deal with the great powers at sea?

Suffering and suffering are only a matter of one or two generations, this is the price that must be paid, how can you mix in this troubled world? If you don't have a cannibalistic heart, you can't fight a tiger wolf! ”

As soldiers, many people can die for the sake of stuttering. There is absolutely no shortage of manpower, and what Yang Meng lacks is only a tiger and wolf-like navy. How many dead people can die now?

The Eight-Nation Alliance is where they should be feared, as long as they enter the Qing Dynasty, there will be no peace in the future. This is also something that Yang Meng has always been unsure of, when did the Eight-Nation Alliance Army come?

Look at this situation now, the situation of the Qing Dynasty is still about to settle, Britain and France can't go together, and start a war with the Qing Dynasty alone.

Many things have to be done, many times you can only be the villain, Yang Meng also wants to talk to the kind, but the world is pressing!

Listening to the words of the third master, Ding Taichen could only shake his head and sigh, the naval students in the Ship Master School were too miserable, he used to patrol the Ship Master School overnight, and in the small dormitory, the miserable cry was quite terrible at night.

Thirty or forty young men in their twenties in a dormitory hugged their heads and cried together, and after crying, they continued to fight to the death the next day.

Although every meal is served with big fish and meat, the training ground of the Naval Academy is definitely not a place for people to stay.

"I can't do it! Third master, am I soft-hearted? ”

"Soft-hearted? Your heart is not soft, think about the clouds and smoke that have been sold by your hands!

How many people will this object kill in the future? Millions, tens of millions! Think about those skinny parents, think about those children who were born with a smoking addiction, and what you do is also thunder and thunder that day!

Pick up the hearts of the two of us, the pits are cleaner than ours, you have already waded through this water, what kind of good people are you pretending? What to do, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, to put it simply, how many can really do it? ”

After Yang Meng said this, Ding Taichen also had a bleak face, and said that his third master was ruthless, but look at himself, isn't he the one who aids in the abuse?

"Uh...... The source of this matter has to be discussed from the side of foreign devils, they don't sell tobacco and soil, how can there be this cloud of smoke? Third master, do you say yes? ”

Yunyan is poison, how many people can be killed, Ding Taichen also knows it, just look at the smokers of the Qing Dynasty, he knows the way, but thinking of the tired bones, he can't help but feel a little frightened, and can only find an excuse to comfort himself.

"...... This is called when the table stands on the archway, but this is good, the business is almost done, we have to do it in the future!

How many merchant ships can you prepare these days? ”

In the name of justice and revenge, but he did all the evil things, he could only comfort himself, and after he finished talking, Yang Meng turned his head to business.

"Merchant ships? It's no problem to have dozens of ships, as long as you pay a good price, you want as many as you want. ”

Now the foreign merchants are also very shrewd, buy a few retired warships, and sell them to the Yang family with goods, the old ships of 20,000 or 30,000 taels of silver, can be sold for hundreds of thousands of new ships, as long as a few can carry the sailors back, it will become, and even more, even the ships and sailors are sold to the Yang family, Patrick and Yang Fuliang's pirates are getting more and more powerful, most of them are secretly funded by foreign merchants.

"Get him dozens of old merchant ships, it's time for the navy students to go to sea to fight!"

"Third master, you can't help it! Most of these naval students have never been on a ship, so let them drive a merchant ship out of the city to plunder, but I am afraid that even Sancheng will not be able to come back! ”

It is a bit outrageous to let the students go out to be pirates, what level are these students, Ding Taichen knows that when the ship is in their hands, it is a question whether they can drive away or not.

It's easy to get your hands on merchant ships, but the students of the Naval Academy are not easy to get along the way! Reading, literacy, and martial arts. It's not long, though. But the Yang family spent a lot of money on the students. A student even brings food and housing, a few hundred taels of silver a year, and this is not the way to use people.

The merchant ships of various countries, which ship has no weapons? Letting a group of white Ding rob merchant ships is not an option.

"Who said they were going to go out and plunder? Just these bunch of rabbit cubs, let them rob, and I don't know who will rob whom?

These merchant ships are for them to practice seamanship. Try your hand in the Lingding Ocean first, and after half a month, give Lao Tzu to wander in the open sea, when the wind and waves are urgent, when to set off, if the typhoon comes, forget it! ”

Riding the wind and waves also depends on the weather, the general wind and waves can be practiced, but the typhoon is forgotten, this is a big threat to navigation in the future, with dozens of meters of wooden sailing ships want to practice skills in the typhoon. That's just looking for death.

Training can be brutal, but there must be limits. Yang Meng will not do the thing of sending him to death, more than 20,000 naval students, more than 8,000 people have been eliminated, this is already a loss for Yang Meng, although it is very necessary, but Yang Meng is also very painful, a battleship has hundreds of people, these 12,000 people, after screening layer by layer, how many can finally board the warship?

Tan Yubin is not good at training, Yang Meng ignored it before, but now that he has found it, he has to make up for this loophole, Yang Fuliang is responsible for training on land, Patrick is responsible for training at sea, while he is still in Guangzhou, Yang Meng wants to let the Ship Master School come up with a set of effective training methods.

Although ironclad ships are innovative warships, with different power systems and different naval tactics, the powers and countries use old-fashioned methods, and the Yang family's navy must learn old-fashioned tactics.

At the beginning of the equipment, Yang Meng was not sure that this ironclad ship would definitely be able to fight the sail warship, and naval warfare was not a field he was familiar with, and it was Yang Meng's idea to try to be perfect.

"Oh...... Surprise me! ”

"Recently, you people have been questioning the third master, it seems that the third master's words are not very good, right?"

This was just a joke to Yang Meng, but when Ding Taichen heard it, it was a little murderous.

"Don't dare!"

"Humph! With this guts, I still have to question the third master, it's far away! If it's right, you have to say it, the third master is not perfect, it is inevitable that there will be omissions, it is not a bad thing to find the third master's stubble, just like the idea of blocking Lingdingyang, the third master is a little whimsical, not Patrick, we have to work hard again.

But questioning is questioning, Lao Tzu's military order must still be resolutely implemented, and the one who dares to discount Lao Tzu's military order can be killed but not kept! ”

The earth depends on the earthen city wall, and the people rely on the people to become kings, if you don't want to listen to the advice, what will Yang Meng do when he sets up a staff group? The foundation is getting bigger and bigger, and there will be more and more places where you are negligent, and the people under your command dare not speak, which is a big taboo.

"I know it!"

Wiping a handful of cold sweat on his head, Ding Taichen also had palpitations, and the third master's mind became more and more elusive.

"Arrange a boat as soon as possible! I want to see, what have these students learned? ”

Although navigation relies on experience, but there are more things in the stomach, it is not a bad thing for navigation, and Yang Meng is still optimistic about this group of students in the Ship Master School.

In the course of more than ten days, more than 20 large and small merchant ships, although they were of different shapes and appearances, these ships had a common characteristic, that is, they were old.

"Lord Lord, the first time I got on the ship, I was afraid that there would be pressure in the hearts of the students!"

After staying in the Harbour Master School for nearly a month, Patrick can be regarded as knowing the authority of this lord, but in Europe, even kings, queens, presidents, and prime ministers do not have such great authority and appeal.

How can you not train a strong army in life-and-death training? After following Yang Meng for several years, it is only now that Patrick can truly recognize this lord.

This also shows that Golis's vision is good, Tiffany finally relied on this Lord Yang, which can be regarded as the most glorious moment in his life, and when he is old, it is also a good way to tell interesting stories about this lord.

"There is no pressure, where is the motivation, now we are short of people, are your people arranged? As long as you find good seedlings, you will be selected into your fleet, and you will learn and fight at the same time, and these people will grow up, and then come back to teach other students, this is the fastest way. ”

"Brilliant idea!"

When Yang Meng and Patrick were talking, the students of the Ship Master School also got on the ship one after another, similar to what Ding Taichen said, most of the merchant ships stopped in place, and only three or five ships were moving slowly.

"Let's find one too!"

"Your lord, you'd better follow the fleet behind! Novices are easy to capsize when driving a boat, and once they capsize, there is no time to escape. ”

"If you're afraid of death, you won't come out and mix! Let's go! There's one over there that's almost set sail, so let's get on that one!" ”

Yang Meng took Patrick and his son to board a dilapidated merchant ship that was more than 30 meters long, and the students, who were still very orderly just now, suddenly became busy, and after scraping three or five times, the merchant ship slowly sailed out of the dock.

"Very nice! The first time you get on the boat, you can drive, you guys are already very good, keep up the good work! ”

This was the first time Yang Meng praised the students, and after agreeing with the promise, the ship slowly became stable.

"Look at you, how nice! Believe that you can overcome any odds! Lao Tzu accompanied you on your first voyage to sea, and in the future, you will be like Zheng He of the previous dynasty, crisscrossing the seven seas! ”

Out of the Pearl River estuary into the Lingding Ocean, half a day, the students on the boat will perform their duties, more than a year of study, to test the results, the smoother the boat, the more calm the expression of these students, it seems that this first voyage, or to choose the calm time!

Sooner or later, more than 20 old merchant ships sailed out of the Pearl River estuary, and after two days and three nights of sea sailing, there were no major mistakes, and not a single student died, which was undoubtedly a good thing for Yang Meng.

"Patrick, you don't want to go to sea recently, European affairs, let Daniel do it, during this time, our fleet will not participate in the looting, squeeze out as many people as possible to train the students of the navy, the time has come, let this group of student soldiers, cut the wind and waves at sea!"
