The Liaodong Naval Division is one of the main forces supporting the Liaodong defense line and responsible for logistics and transportation, especially the material transportation and the transportation of soldiers on Phi Island are more prominent.

In addition to adding a little military expenditure to the Liaodong Naval Division, he also took out a large sum of money from his own small treasury to not only build more than a dozen new large and medium-sized warships and a large number of large-caliber naval guns for the Liaodong Naval Division, so as to enhance the strength of the naval division's fleet, but also planned to drum up a 3,000-strong marine corps.

The warships of this year still rely on the most old-fashioned sails and oars as the power, what steam-powered ironclad ships are all floating clouds, with the current technology of the Ming Dynasty can only YY, of course, those advanced Dongdong will be guided by him, so that the elites of the Academy of Science and Technology can test it.

The Liaodong Naval Division not only undertakes the role of transportation, but sometimes also undertakes the task of side support, however, the bombardment of naval artillery alone does not have much effect, and the Jin Army hides outside the range of naval artillery, and if there is a Marine Corps capable of amphibious operations, it can also land to support operations when necessary, and the establishment of a Marine Corps must also be established in the future, and it is a special branch of the military to undertake sea-crossing operations, and it is better to build it later than to build it early.

To be honest, Zhu Jian didn't know how the Marines were trained and tamped, so he only saw some in TV series or novels, plus some imagination or something, and compiled a set of teaching materials, which should be a groping experiment, slowly summarizing and accumulating experience.

According to his idea, the training of the Marine Corps is copied from the new method of military training, with the slight difference that half of the training must be carried out in the sea water and on warships, and must not get seasick, and can be engaged in combat anytime and anywhere, and the condition for meeting the standard is that it can fight both field battles on land and close to shore warfare at sea.

The navy is originally a big money-burner, and it has to reorganize the marines, this huge military expenditure is not something that the Ming Dynasty's finances can support, and it is inevitable to pay out of pocket and use his own small treasury, looking at the sharply reduced figures, Zhu Jian snorted in pain for most of the month, fortunately, the Red Gang has a huge business throughout the empire, there is a shipping business in cooperation with Zheng Zhilong, and there are thieves who help him make black money outside, otherwise he will directly declare bankruptcy and become the poorest emperor among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty.

While tinkering with the Liaodong Naval Division, Zhu Jian certainly will not forget the Sea Wolf Fleet that is slowly being formed and the most profitable shipping business, Zheng Zhilong's base was once located in Japan, and after his power grew, he slowly withdrew from Japan and returned to the Ming Dynasty, which just gave Zhu Jian the opportunity to make a lot of money.

Japan is short of materials, and can get some high-end tea, silk, porcelain and other high-end things by sea, in exchange for their real money, sulfur and other things, their gold and silver depreciation, get back to the Ming Dynasty, just to earn the difference is a lot of income, such a profitable business of course have to keep an eye on.

As soon as Zhu Jian asked about the Seawolf Fleet, he learned that the commander of the Seawolf Fleet was called Wang He, the third leader of a certain group of pirates, and was later surrendered by Song Xiance, Song Xiance saw that he was quite clever, his character was passable, and he also had a little skill in naval warfare, and no one was available, so he appointed him as the commander of the Seawolf Fleet.

The deputy commander was demoted back to Fujian because of the crime Wei Yuanqing, Wei Yuanqing showed his talent and talent as soon as he joined the Sea Wolf Fleet, and helped Song Xiance deal with many problems, which was appreciated by Song Xiance and appointed as the deputy commander.

Zhu Jian asked again and again, and Song Xiance patted his chest and assured that Wei Yuanqing did have extraordinary talent in the water division, and he was born as a water general, but he did not have the stage and opportunity to display his talent.

Song Xiance patted his chest loudly, Zhu Jian was skeptical, but there are indeed very few talents who can reassure him in terms of sailors, or even almost none, the importance of the Liaodong Sailor is needless to say, he needs a reliable person to sit in charge, it just so happened that the commander of the Sailor Lu Bingqiang was infected with the cold, he pushed the boat down the river, let Lu Bingqiang recuperate at home, and withered Wei Yuanqing took over his position, took charge of the Liaodong Sailor, and trained the first Marine Corps of the Ming Dynasty.

After arranging, he breathed a sigh of relief, no need to suspect people, no suspicion of employing people, since he used Wei Yuanqing, he had to give him a stage and opportunity to prove his ability, and he had to have many opportunities to do it, ten years of army, a hundred years of navy, if you want to build up the navy of the Ming Dynasty, you have to slowly, little by little exploration and accumulation.

Zhu Jian, who understands this truth best, is busy building Phi Dao and desperately throwing money at the Liaodong Naval Division, he has not forgotten to keep an eye on his Science and Technology Institute, no matter how busy he is, he has to take the time to run to the Science and Technology Institute and go around, which not only cheers up the elites of the Science and Technology Institute, but also supervises and urges.

Daming is actually full of talents, it depends on whether you have found them, whether they are used in the right place, maybe Zhu Jian gave the right direction, or maybe because he ran too diligently, which caused a certain amount of pressure on the Academy of Science and Technology, forcing the elites of the Academy of Science and Technology to rack their brains and work hard, and finally made the first sample of Daming's first assembly line steelmaking furnace with real significance.

This thing is not only smelted into fine steel, but also greatly improves production efficiency, saves time and cost, and builds a new level of quality for weapons such as guns and swords.

The most important thing is the drill bit, with the best steel, the success rate of drilling the gun chamber has increased several times, the speed and output have also increased accordingly, and some quite complex machine tools can also be produced and put into use, and the spiral rifled gun is no longer a dream.

This is a great thing worth celebrating, Zhu Jian, who has always been stingy, generously paid out of his own pocket to hold a celebration banquet in the Academy of Science and Technology, distributed bonuses to the elites, and gave them three days of vacation each, so that the elites of the Academy of Science and Technology were so excited that they shouted Long live the emperor.

At the same time, Zhu Jian did not forget to develop agricultural tools to improve the peasants' cultivation efficiency, the most important thing is the iron plowshares, and the common people in many places still use wooden plowshares, the plows are not strong enough, and they are easy to break, but with the iron plowshares, the work efficiency has been greatly improved.

Of course, he didn't have so much money to invest in it, but he just produced some and handed it over to the county and town magistrates in the area of Jingshi, who were responsible for unified management, and after making a register and registering it, it was handed over to the local people for free use, and at the same time it was responsible for safekeeping.

It is said that when people are lucky, they may be hit on the head by gold falling from the sky when they walk, Zhu Jian has been hit by great luck in the past few months, and Li Zhitong, who has been at sea for a long time, finally came back.
