Chapter 608: Patriotic Education

Duan Fei went from Yangzhou to Suzhou, and then from Suzhou to Hangzhou to Ningbo, and he didn't know how many times he had traveled in the past two years.

According to Xi Qiuchan's theory, Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong and other coastal provinces should all adopt a joint defense strategy, but April is fast approaching, Duan Fei can only focus on Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian, and Shandong and Guangdong only guide the local government to take action in the form of official documents.

There are many islands outside the Qiantang River estuary, but the geographical location of Chen Qianshan, Shengshan, Yangshan, Zhoushan, Daishan, and Putuo Mountain is more important, Duan Fei plans to establish outposts and naval bases in these places now, in view of the small quality and poor quality of the Japanese ships, Duan Fei decided to station some small and medium-sized clippers in these outposts, and it is enough to deal with them with four to eight Franc cannons, this type of ship can be bought directly from He Hai and Wuhaiyan, and it will not take much time to refit. The military base next to Moon Bay in Fujian Province has produced a steady stream of all kinds of guns, which can meet the needs of the navy.

For Duan Fei, it is not difficult to build ships, dig the sea, build bases, and open docks, but the difficulty is that those guards are not even willing to work hard in their hometowns, so how can they be willing to go to a small island hanging overseas to be a hard sentry?

After some thought, Duan Fei began to carry out patriotic propaganda and education in Jiangnan, Fujian and other places.

Overnight, patriotic slogans were posted all over the streets, and patriotic songs were also spread to the entire coastal area in the form of newspaper publications.

"When I was a child, my mother told me that the sea is my hometown......

"The big knife slashed at the heads of the devils......"

"The fifteenth moon shines on my hometown and on the border......"

Good songs can transcend the boundaries of time, these songs spread quickly, and Duan Fei's 'crated' score was quickly accepted by ordinary people, and along with Arabic numerals, it was also vigorously promoted.

Duan Fei invited many people to teach by word and deed, under the correct guidance, the idea of patriotism began to take root, at the beginning of March, there was no time to wait, on March 8, Jinyiwei and Suzhou, Yangzhou, Hangzhou and other local governments cooperated, launched the on-site recruitment meeting of naval officers and soldiers, at the meeting sounded a patriotic song that has recently spread rapidly among the people, and the final song is a chorus that has been tampered with by Duan Fei - "Defending the Sea Frontier"!

(Recitation...... ）

Sons and daughters of the Chinese nation,

Who wants to be like pigs and sheep

Slaughtered?

We are determined to win,

Defend the sea!

Defend Gangnam!

Defend our Daming!

(Chorus)

The wind is howling.

The rain is blowing.

The sea is roaring.

The sea is roaring.

……

……

Defend your hometown!

Defend the sea!

Defend Gangnam!

Defend our Daming!

The multiple chorus that constantly stirred his nerves like a tide made Duan Fei's heart surge with excitement that he hadn't seen for a long time, not to mention those ordinary people who had never heard too many choruses? After the chorus, everyone was still excited, and many people signed up to join the army on the spot.

After selection, a total of more than 5,000 new recruits from all over the country, most of them are Jiangnan people, and then Jinyiwei will conduct special training for these rookie recruits in various places, what they need to master most is not how to fight with the enemy, but pretend to be fishermen to fish at sea, and immediately find a way to escape back to the nearest sea sentry when they find a Japanese or a ship of suspicious origin.

With the active cooperation and vigorous promotion of Jinyiwei and local governments, a defense network on the sea has gradually taken shape, which is a defense network for soldiers and civilians to fight together, and in order to prevent any omissions, Duan Fei personally led a quarter of the fleet to sea at the end of March and early April, when the northeast wind had not yet blown, and he was pleased to see that Yangshan, Chenqianshan, and Shengshan, the three main bases and harbors of the three sea fronts before and after defending against the Japanese invaders, had been built, and the warships and soldiers were ready to meet the enemy at any time, and the morale was not bad.

In fact, now these recruits have a good income, and some businessmen have begun to play their ideas, once wanted to lobby Duan Fei to open a few brothels and restaurants on these islands, but Duan Fei politely refused, he said that the combat ability of the defense line has not been tested yet, in order to avoid the loss of the businessmen, I hope they will wait patiently, endure May, and wait for this wave of Japanese robbers to pass, and verify the ability of the defense line.

The merchants were right to think about it, if the army couldn't resist it, wouldn't they have thrown their money into the sea in vain? So they all started to wait and see, in fact, Duan Fei was worried that these guys would lose their morale by going to the island, and whether they should engage in these entertainment projects on the island or not, they had to wait for him to make a decision after careful consideration.

After inspecting and playing Chen Qianshan, Duan Fei turned around and went south, along Daheng Mountain, Daishan Mountain, and then Zhoushan and Putuo, although these islands are in the second and third line of defense in the anti-Japanese front, but the construction of the island has been basically completed, and the soldiers stationed on the island are in high spirits, and after getting the new firearms provided by Jinyiwei, they are not afraid of the Japanese Invaders, but hope that the Japanese Invaders will come soon, so that they can make meritorious contributions and receive rewards!

After walking around, Duan Fei was very satisfied, in addition to the perfect defense of the island, fishing boats can be seen everywhere on the sea, a small number of which are spies pretending, and most of them are fishermen who came spontaneously to help the military defend against the Japanese invaders.

In the sea off Putuo Mountain, Duan Fei met the commander of the East China Sea Fleet, now that there are more ships, Wu Huai'an has divided the East China Sea Fleet into four parts equally, which are handed over to Li Masai and the other two deputy commanders to command, Duan Fei's ship is the C team in the four major fleets of A, B, C and D.

When Duan Fei was waiting for news in Yangzhou, Wu Huai'an had already led the East China Sea Fleet to sweep the islands of Zhejiang and Fujian along the coast twice.

After the two fleets met at sea, Wu Huai'an came to meet each other on the ship, Wu Huai'an happily greeted Duan Fei, Duan Fei had a consistent policy of attacking this general, he said lightly: "No courtesy, Wu Huai'an, I heard that you have made a lot of contributions on Yushan, Nanji Mountain and other islands." ”

Wu Huai'an heard that his tone was not quite right, and he got up with trepidation in his heart and said, "My lord, the grass people...... Oh no, Lord Meng took care of it, and the humble position was a little merit, but compared to adults, it was simply the difference between fireflies and Haoyue, and it was not worth mentioning at all. ”

Duan Fei said indifferently: "Really? How did I hear that you have done a great job, and you will kill chickens and dogs everywhere you go, and blood will flow everywhere? ”

Wu Huai'an said with a smile: "My lord, those widows and pirates are afraid of the law of the country, and they resist desperately, and they have no great plan to capture the thieves, so they can only be wiped out." ”
