More orders were issued, and Ding Yi seemed to have a draft before he had to take Justinia down. The first is that Tan Feng was drafted; Then the prince of the kingdom of Rakhan, who had recovered a small piece of the territory of the old port of the Xuanwei Division, was also called; And to He Tiedan's surprise, there was Wan An in this recruitment list, he had been to the Arakan Kingdom, and naturally knew that Wan An was a weak civil official, and in addition, there was Ma Wensheng, who was also the imperial history.

As for Yun Yuancheng's announcement of the experience of the political envoy, and Wang Yue, who also led Meng Yang's reorganization of the army and prepared for the Dao, and Meng Yang's mansion was sentenced to six grades, it was also called, but it did not cause He Tiedan's exclamation, because he knew that Wang Yue was also a student of Ding Yi, and He Tiedan felt that a big hero like Ding Yi, his student must also be a full range of civil and military talents.

In addition, the 1st Marine Brigade and the 2,000 Guards Cavalry were also required to be in a state of third-class combat readiness, and like those who were drafted above, they were required to assemble in the Kingdom of Arakan, wait for the arrival of the westbound fleet, and then board the ships and set off. In addition to the personnel, there is also a large number of fresh water, local fruits and other products.

In Guangxi, the Wuzhou factory was also recruited a large number of craftsmen, and also asked the current manager of the factory, that is, Du Mu, the magistrate of Cangwu County, to recommend a factory manager, and immediately set off to Wuzhou with these craftsmen, and Ding Yi demanded very earnestly: "The personnel recommended by Cangwu County account for fifty percent of the year-end assessment of Cangwu County." ”

That is to say, this person is not doing well, and Du Mu will eat and hang; If this person does a good job, Du Mu will naturally have a credit.

The temporary managers of several fleets stationed in Xiangshan County were also summoned by Ding Yi for questioning. They all set sail and left the port, all of them with conscription orders, some of which were given to Chen San, the commander of the third division of the Ming Dynasty in the Anxi Metropolitan Governor's Mansion; Some were given to Qian Chujiu, commander of the Second Division of the Ming Dynasty in Beijing, and Yang Shou, chief of staff; Shi Heng, who was in charge of the regimental camp, did not fail; Sun Bo is currently the chief military officer of Xuanda. I also received a call for paperwork......

In addition, there are also several ministers who asked Yingzong, one is Yang Shan, the secretary of Guanglu Temple, who has the title of imperial history of the right capital; One is Xu Bin, the secretary of Taichang Temple; One is the old and unsightly official Wang Zhi; One is Wang Wen of the Imperial History of Zuodu.

These are the compositions of the West Sea Fleet of the Governor's Mansion of the Four Seas mentioned in the recital sent by Ding Yi at the same time.

In addition, Du Ziteng was also asked to step down from his post as the commander of the First Division of the Ming Dynasty, and immediately rushed to Guangzhou Mansion with the First Division Guard Regiment to serve as the governor of the Metropolitan Mansion of the Four Seas. presided over all matters of the Metropolitan Governor's Office of the Four Seas; At the same time, the Third Brigade of the First Division of the Ming Dynasty was moved to Guangzhou Prefecture; Hu Shan took over as the commander of the First Division of the Ming Dynasty and guarded Guangxi; Zhu Yong was also asked to go to Guangzhou Mansion. presided over the work of the People's Armed Forces Department of the Liangguang militia training; The Ming Southeast Asian Garrison Area was established, and Liu Tie in Yunyuan was ordered to be the commander, Gong Ju was the chief of staff, and Liu Ji was appointed to supervise the imperial history of the army. The garrison headquarters is located in the Kingdom of Arakan. There are eight subordinate departments, which are the eight subordinate institutions in Guangzhou, and the garrison area is mainly under the jurisdiction of the Kingdom of Arakan, Temasek, and Yunyuan......

A series of personnel changes, in this afternoon, the Xiangshan garrison battalion fast horses, fleet, with these orders, galloped in all directions.

Except for the fleet going north because it is impossible to reach it immediately, the land of Guangxi. Almost all of them did not hesitate after receiving the order. Immediately acted according to the requirements of the order, and now it can be said that the Ding Yi group is in a stage of rapid rise, the internal friction is infinitely close to zero, there is no bureaucratic tone, and everyone is full of passion.

Of course, the propagandists arranged by Ding Yi are not dry meals, and in the army, the soldiers are also in a state of excitement, and it goes without saying that the troops they are stationed in Guangdong are excellent and are favored by Mr. Those who stayed in Guangxi were also very proud, and felt that the base camp was still reassuring to guard Mr. by himself.

Even the First Marine Brigade and the 2,000 Guards Cavalry were basically elated, they were originally stationed in Yunyuan Prefectures at Fang Ying's request, and then they were recruited and then concentrated in the Arakan Kingdom, all of them were imposing and dumbfounded: "Your mother, you are called to fight, and you are so happy?" Did you let Ding Shaobao lower his head? ”

"You know an egg? I didn't read the bottom report of the imperial court...... Or is it underreported? In short, the newspaper said above, and even taught Mr. to take it first, in the Ming Dynasty, what kind of bird battle is there to fight at this time? The familiar Marine Brigade soldier laughed and scolded, and said while packing his luggage, "This is going to fight, it is going to sea!" ”

"Drifting across the ocean to fight, and still being so happy when you die and bury your bones in a foreign land?" The fellow townsman couldn't help but reach out and touch the other party's forehead, "Your baby is not lightly ill!" I'm cāo, can I find a doctor? Or don't you have a hygienist? Go check it out, there's something wrong with your baby......"

The soldiers of the Marine Brigade tightened their equipment and slapped away the hands of their fellow villagers with a smile: "What kind of health doctor?" Hygienist, yes, it's really fine, you know a fart, go overseas to fight, don't say more than one salary a day, go to Dali, raise the country's prestige overseas, you know the Han and Tang Dynasties, right? How good were we in the Han and Tang Dynasties? Isn't it just to hit whomever you want? Do you want the people of your hometown to live in peace, right? As long as we can play majestic outside, who dares to bully Daming? Do you think about it? Say to Xiaoli, go out to fight ......" As he said that, he looked around for a moment and lowered his voice, "You don't have to follow the same strict military discipline as in Daming!" Grab money, grab food, grab girls! It's hard for Lao Tzu to grab a large piece of land, and he will become the owner after retiring! ”

However, Ding Ruyu, Cao Jixiang, Menda, Wen Fatzi and others, who had just arrived at Guangzhou Mansion with the West Sea Fleet to meet Ding Yi, were not as happy as these soldiers; As for Du Ziteng, Zhu Yong and others who rushed to Guangzhou from Guangxi, they frowned even more. The so-called thousands of miles away, but so, Du Ziteng couldn't help but speak: "Sir, will it be too urgent?" ”

And Craftsman Li, who came over from the Wuzhou Mansion Workshop, immediately spoke at this time of the list meeting: "Sir, the two fleets are equipped with artillery, you better kill the villain!" The villain is just learning to jump Mo Ye into the furnace, and it is impossible to complete it before March, not to mention that you still require that it all be dried in February, how is this possible? Let's put the words here, before February, even a destroyer like the Guangxi will not be able to make twenty-four guns, unless you get a lot of bronze, we will all twenty-four bronze cannons! ”

Ding Yi smiled and nodded, knocked on the table, signaled them to be quiet, and said: "The Ottomans are not Tartars, they have cannons, cannons, not the kind of large-handle guns of the Jingshi Wang Gongchang, but the Urban cannon, which is about sixteen feet long, weighs three hundred and forty quintals, and is seventeen tons, and the barrel is seven feet thick to withstand the huge impact force when the cannon is fired, and the caliber is about twenty-seven feet......"

"Good boy! Twenty-seven feet, in exchange for the millimeters requested by Mr., not more than seven hundred and fifty millimeters? Isn't that the ability to put an adult in? Craftsman Li listened, forgot about his question for a while, gasped and said, in fact, the Urban cannon is indeed enough to accommodate an adult, "Isn't that cannonball nearly a thousand catties?" ”

Ding nodded: "It's not just nearly a thousand catties, the granite shells it uses weigh more than 1,300 catties, but the range is only more than three miles, and it is very heavy, and the march can only advance eight miles a day." However, the target it attacked, you can imagine what happened to it. Another point is that if I'm not mistaken, the Ottoman navy was also very strong, but I don't know if it was also equipped with artillery. ”

Because Ding Yi remembers that he has seen the multi-deck warships of the Ottoman Empire, but he can't remember which era, and he seems to remember that the Ottoman shipbuilding ability is not strong, when Western Europe is playing with thousand-ton ships, the Ottomans still play with one or two hundred ton boats, and the big ships have to be purchased, but he really can't confirm it, he asked Justinia before, and the guy said that the Ottoman navy is very strong, much larger than the ships on Ding Yi's side, of course, he refers to the speed communication ship Lightning.

"The guns on the ship must not be three hundred and forty loads!" Craftsman Li shook his head, thought about it and thought, "Impossible, what a big ship is that?" You can't have a gun, right? As long as there are two or three cannons on one side, can't the ship capsize once the cannons are fired? ”

Ding Yi agreed with Li Jiangtou's statement, nodded and said: "It's impossible to think about it, I mean that they can make cannons, if I remember correctly, it seems that the Hungarians helped them cast cannons and gave them artillery instructors, they are not the same nature as the Tartars, and they are also countries that have entered the age of firearms, so our fleet must be equipped with artillery!" ”

Ding Yi didn't wait for Li Jiangtou to open his mouth and declare again that he couldn't do it, so he intercepted him and said: "I didn't say that the multi-layer cannon barrel is just good to be fired with granular black fire * powder, as long as the body tube can withstand black fire * powder, but the rear loading and rifling still have to be there, and the short range is acceptable, but the accuracy must be basically guaranteed." ”

"This, the little one has to discuss with Du Ming Mansion." Li Jiangtou finally stopped putting his burden on his shoulder, because the black fire * powder was used as a launch, that is to say, low carbon steel or even wrought iron or malleable cast iron may meet the requirements, with the water-cooled casting method provided by Ding Yi, he thought that he could still try, as for rifling, directly use the mold and then refine it or get it after casting, he can think about it, the barrel is so big, and it is wrought iron, he is not too worried.

At this time, Ding Ruyu opened his mouth to make a difficulty: "Why did the young master say that Justinia is not a true messenger?" ”

Ding Yi replied naturally: "Because he said that his name is Justinia." (To be continued......)
