After two days and three nights of sailing, the first batch of naval students who were on trial voyage were like being reborn, running long distances on the coffins of tired people, eliminating the bloody struggle of more than 5,000 people, and learning could not achieve death! Five big characters were engraved in everyone's minds.

With the continuous squeezing of these five words, many things learned in the early stage have been shown in the trial process, and Yang Meng is also very satisfied with the results of this sea trial.

The pirates to which Patrick belonged became the practical masters of the students, and with the teaching of this group of people, I am afraid that within three or five months, it will be more than enough for these students to become trainee sailors.

After the first batch of students completed the sea trial, Yang Meng also had another idea in his heart, which still had to be communicated with Tan Yubin, Yang Fuliang, Patrick, and Ding Taichen.

"Learning knowledge, carrying a coffin for a long distance, catching and fighting, and sea trials are the temporary teaching sequence, I won't talk about the first three things, you all have a number in your heart, just follow the standards I said.

This fourth trial voyage must be selected at the right time to sail, hard training is very important, but the students' self-confidence is more important, so that he can see his own value in the first trial voyage, and establish tenacious self-confidence, which is the purpose of this fourth project.

In this process, the old sailors should give more encouragement to the students, and no one can beat and scold the students in the process of the trial voyage, and temper their self-confidence step by step.

After the sea trial, select qualified students, and then choose to sail on stormy days to further hone their sailing experience, three years! For three years, you must train a usable navy. The first two years of learning to sail. In the third year, he went to sea to plunder. Only qualified students who participate in actual combat can become soldiers in the navy! ”

Within three years, the shipyard in Guangzhou must rebuild more than ten ironclad ships, although the number of ten is very small. But a naval battle is definitely possible.

In three years, ten ironclad ships will be transformed, presumably the shipyard's transformation technology will also mature, and in the past few years, we will step up the acquisition of old warships, and when the time comes, there will be 100 with 10 ships, and with 100 ships, we will be able to manufacture our own ironclad ships.

"These arrangements of Lord Lord's are very reasonable and suitable for the current situation of the students. I support such reforms! ”

Among the four, only Patrick dared to judge Yang Meng's opinion. The other three didn't dare to say anything at will even if they had ideas in their hearts.

"Don't be bored three of you, just say what you have to say!"

After glancing at the three of them, looking at their expressions, they knew that they had something to say, Yang Meng waved his hand, and after signaling the three of them to speak, Tan Yubin was the first to speak.

"Third master, after three and a half days of training and half a day of study, the students' spirits are not very good, can you adjust this time?"

"Yes, Fukura, you will miss the training time, after the long-distance run in the morning, it is the study time, study in the morning, fight in the afternoon, and continue to study in the evening.

Pacing well and keeping students under intense pressure and exhaustion will also strengthen their ability to cope with chaos.

Yubin, you put the assessment of knowledge into the punishment of training, if you don't learn well, you can increase the difficulty and intensity of training accordingly, you can punish corporal punishment, you can beat and scold, but you must not be allowed to eat, the body is the capital, the body bones are broken, no matter how good you learn, it is useless! ”

Learning in the midst of pressure and chaos, as long as you learn this method, when dealing with emergencies, you can not panic, in order not to forget what you have learned, many recruits die on the battlefield for what? It's not that they can't do it, it's that they can't cope.

Most of the students are not from rich families, and they eat poorly and have poor bones, so they can eat and drink more to strengthen their bodies and bones and cope with high-intensity training.

Listening to Yang Meng's instructions, Tan Yubin was also a little stunned, but he didn't expect that the third master's countermeasures were exactly the opposite of himself, after thinking about it, he didn't understand, so he stared at Yang Meng with a questioning face.

"Yubin, you may not understand, let Fuliang tell you about this, the battlefield is already chaotic, there is no ability to win in chaos, and the fastest death!

Taechen, what do you have to say? ”

On Tan Yubin's side, Yang Meng didn't explain much, and there were some things that he couldn't understand, so he could only let him slowly understand them.

"Third master, this large-scale going to sea, I'm afraid that people will be suspicious, can this matter be staggered?"

Guangzhou is finally a place where there are many people, dozens of merchant ships go to sea together, and the impact is not small, in the long run, I am afraid of being detected by the imperial court! Ding Taichen has his own way of seeing things, and he also has his own field, and it is his responsibility to balance these things.

"Hmmm! This is also a problem, the fleet is smaller, the first trial voyage is selected during the day, and after getting acquainted, go to sea at night, won't this problem be solved?

Fukura, what's the problem on your side? ”

"Master, the problem of artillery, the students of the navy, although they also learn this, but the sea is not flat after all, I am afraid that I will learn these things on land, and when I get to the ship, I have to overturn it and start over."

Yang Fuliang's problem is the problem of actual combat, this is easy to solve, a pair of large seesaws, it's over!

"It's nothing more than a floating load on a ship, have you ever seen a seesaw? Make a big one and let the students shoot in the shaking, isn't that the end? ”

"The third master is clever!"

"Don't say it's useless, the affairs of the navy will be entrusted to you, Taichen is in charge of the overall situation, Yubin is in charge of skills, Fuliang is in charge of training, Patrick is in charge of navigation, and in three years, look at your results!"

Taechen, Yubin, you come with me to the shipyard! ”

Compared with the ironclad ship, the navy has become secondary again, there is no ironclad ship, but with the sail warship, there are no more than ten or twenty years, it is difficult to defeat the British Lyco, only by surprise, Yang Meng can take the people behind him, step by step to surpass the British Wingly, the shipyard in Guangzhou has always been the top priority, and the time to delay going to the shipyard before is just for the sake of secrecy.

Now that things are more or less settled, it's time to look at the shipyard's achievements. For more than a year, more than 100,000 people, nothing was taken out, and Yang Meng also had doubts about this matter.

"Taichen, tell me about the specific situation of the shipyard!"

Got on the steamer. Yang Meng opened his mouth to see the recent situation of the shipyard. Not out of the stuff for so long. It's not a good thing.

"Third master, the power ship you developed, during this time, six wooden-hulled ships, twelve iron-hulled ones, six wooden-hulled power ships have been used in the Pearl River waterway, the effect is very good, twelve iron-hulled power ships, are assembling steam engines. Ten and a half days and a month should also be on trial.

These steamers we sit on are also made by shipyards, although they are all small, but they are no worse than the English ones!

It's just that in the development of ironclad ships, there is no achievement in the shipyard, although there are iron-hulled power ships, but the difficulty of transforming old warships is still insurmountable, and the vast majority of people in the shipyard are repairing those old warships, after all, these warships equipped with artillery still have a certain combat capability.

The Guangzhou Iron Works can already produce iron plates that are five inches thick and six feet square. After you urged, the shipyard also increased the manpower for the renovation. It shouldn't be difficult to come up with a transformation plan in three or five months. ”

As soon as he heard Ding Taichen's report, Yang Meng's brows also furrowed, it seems that there are a lot of cats in this matter! Most of the time it was his old Taishan who did something to deceive his superiors and subordinates.

"Three or five months, that's too long! Why did all this come to nothing? ”

The ironclad ship is the top priority, it seems that the focus of the shipyard was still on the power ship before, and the big one is chasing the small!

"Third Master, Master Pan is afraid that you will continue to throw money on the ironclad ship, so he has made some concealment!"

Ding Taichen is not easy to say, they are two sons-in-law, and there is a solution to the problem between the two, and it is a little suspicious of stirring up right and wrong if he interjects.

"A little bit of concealment, I'm afraid I put all my mind on the power ship, right? Only this once, if there is a repeat offense, no matter who stands in the way, he will not be spared!

Clean out all the Pan stewards in charge of the power ship in the shipyard, and after I go, anyone who dares to criticize the ironclad ship behind my back, you let the shadow people deal with them!

This is a military order! ”

This matter is not easy to deal with Lao Taishan, Yang Meng can only take Pan's stewards to open the knife, now at this time, Yang Meng only needs one voice, that is his own voice, and no one is allowed to do things against his will.

"Third master, I'm just afraid that Master Pan won't be able to tell the difference!"

Face is a big matter, it involves life and death, Pan Shicheng, who is in charge of Lixiang Garden, is even more so, not to mention his status as the governor of Guangdong, just talking about this love for his son-in-law, Ding Taichen feels that his third master should not fall into Pan Shicheng's face like this.

"The ironclad ship is the top priority, and a few iron-hulled powered ships are dazzled, and it can't be done!

Alas...... But this is also an experiment, deal with Pan's stewardship, let it go for a while!

I would like to warn these people that they must not block the development and transformation of ironclad ships, and there is only one way to die if they have committed a taboo in this matter! ”

Ding Taichen is right, although the Yang family is powerful now, but in the officialdom, it is slightly inferior to the Pan family, and although his old Taishan understands the things inside, I am afraid that sometimes he will be confused!

If you are too eager, it will not be a good thing to evil Lao Taishan, and you can only turn a blind eye to this matter.

"Hmmm! It's safer that way. ”

In the middle of the afternoon, Yang Meng and his entourage arrived at the shipyard in Huangpu, and now it has changed greatly, twenty or thirty miles of rivers have all been blocked, and there are all wooden docks along the river.

There are two tributaries in this section of the river, although the main channel is blocked by the shipyard, but it does not affect the passage of the Pearl River, dozens of warships, docked in the dock, on the big picture, this shipyard is still presentable.

After entering the shipyard, the first thing Yang Meng did was to reprimand, the transformation of the ironclad ship was unfavorable, and Yang Meng did not give a good face to the shipyard.

"Take the drawings of the iron-hulled power ship, if it has nothing to do with the transformation of the ironclad ship, twelve iron-hulled power ships, twelve brains, you divide it yourself, whose brains should be produced!"

There was no progress in the matter of the ironclad ship, and after losing his temper, Yang Meng had already put the matter of saving face behind him, and he was about to kill when he opened his mouth.

"Third master, control your anger!"

"Make a fart! There is no progress in the matter of the ironclad ship, I really take Lao Tzu's words as a deaf ear, and prepare a large piece of knife, I hope that your design and the transformation of the ironclad ship can be related, if the wind and horses are not related, all the people involved in the design and manufacture of the iron-hulled power ship will be shown to the public! ”

Yang Meng looked at the progress of the ironclad ship, the shipyard's energy can be said to have not been used on the ironclad ship at all, this thing has been done too much, not killing people is not enough to make the shipyard pay attention to the ironclad ship!

"Third master, where are the thousands of people up and down?"

"Thousands of people must be killed! Yin and yang are not violated! Bring the drawings to Lao Tzu! ”

The third master of his own family turned his face faster than turning a book, and Ding Taichen was also helpless, and with a wave of his hand, the new army responsible for guarding the shipyard pulled out a big blade.

Half an hour, an hour, until the sky became dark, Yang Meng did not wait for the drawings, but Lao Taishan ran in with a sweaty face.

"Xingdou, what are you doing here, I agreed to do this, do you want to kill me?"

Faced with Lao Taishan's questioning, Yang Meng did not react, but beckoned to Ding Taichen.

"Cut down the person in charge of taking the drawings! Whistleblowers are destroyed! ”

"Xingdou, I did a bad job in this matter, you want to kill thousands of people, how can this work?"

"Father-in-law, I still say the same thing, it has nothing to do with the ironclad ship, and the people responsible for the development and repair will all be beheaded!

You have your school, I have my school, and there is no progress in the matter of ironclads, which is very different from what I said in the shipyard that day, I hope they thought of ironclads when they designed iron-hulled powered ships!

If I didn't take it into account, then my silver in the early stage would be spent in vain, not to mention thousands of people, I invested tens of millions in the early stage, and it was enough to buy hundreds of thousands of heads!

Get the drawings! ”

If the ironclad ship was still being developed, Yang Meng would not be furious, but the shipyard didn't say hello to him, so he stopped privately, which is looking for death.

"Then you can kill me! Am I not trying to ensure the capacity of the Pearl River waterway? ”

The beloved son-in-law said cruel words, Pan Shicheng also scratched his head, what did his beloved son-in-law say, if he opened his mouth to kill, no one would live, Pan Shicheng didn't expect that the position of this ironclad ship in his son-in-law's heart was so important.

"Father-in-law, these are two different things! I only asked about the responsibility of the shipyard, and after reading the drawings, let's talk about it! ”

"Alas...... This is a bad thing! ”

turned his face, Pan Shicheng didn't dare, what is the strength of the Yang family, he knows best, his son-in-law is talking like this, he is taking care of his face, and now he can only look at the drawings.

"Not bad! If you take it early, you won't have to die! ”

Looking at the drawings, the design of the iron-hulled power ship definitely has the things that I said in the shipyard before, and the designers of the shipyard are not bad.

"Alas...... A false alarm, you kid! Too anxious! ”

"I'm sorry to disturb my father-in-law, with these twelve iron-hulled powered ships, the work in the early stage is not in vain!"

Weng and his son-in-law directly swept over the unpleasantness just now, this is not a family matter, public affairs have their own way of official affairs, more seriously, that is to ask for trouble. (To be continued......)
