"Your Majesty, please see, this is the place where my Great Ming Sailor trains. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info"A veteran welcomed Li You into the barracks, this person was the son of the famous anti-Japanese hero Yu Dayou, Yu Zhigao, who had previously served as the commander-in-chief of Fujian, eight years ago he led the Fujian Navy Division into Penghu, and doubled the ships and soldiers of the Dutch fleet through a long siege to force the Dutch to withdraw from Penghu and enter Liuqiu, and later united with the Dutch to deal with Zheng Zhilong, but was defeated by Zheng Zhilong, and then under the pretext of Yu Zhigao's Hook and Anger, he quickly broke through Haicheng and entered the Zhongzuo, and Fujian was shaken for a while.

Because of this incident, Zhu Yifeng, the governor of Fujian, was dismissed and replaced by Xiong Wencan; Yu Zhigao was imprisoned in Dali Temple, originally intended to be a capital crime, but was later exempted from death, and died and attacked the military; When Li You was planning to reorganize the water division, he thought of him, and summoned Yu Zhigao to the central government to entrust him with important tasks, and let him lead the training of the Daming water division.

The reason why Li You wanted to appoint this veteran as the commander of the sailor was because he had fought with the Dutch and knew the general situation of the European fleet, and secondly because of his contradiction with Zheng Zhilong, Yu Zhigao was imprisoned because of Zheng Zhilong, and lost his official position and hereditary military position, it is absolutely impossible to say that he does not hate Zheng Zhilong, and now the strongest in the Daming Sea is Zheng Zhilong, appointing a general who has a gap with him to be in charge of the sailor, which can also play a certain role in checking and balancing him, Zheng Zhilong is a pirate after all, After all, there is no way to get Li You's absolute trust.

"In just a few months, General Yu has trained the sailors well, and he is indeed worthy of the family of famous generals." While watching the drill performance of the sailor, he praised.

"Your Majesty has praised it, and it is thanks to the guidance of several Taixi's sailor generals that today's results have been achieved." Yu Zhigao just saw that Li You asked several questions to the point, and he couldn't help but be surprised, it seems that His Majesty also knows a lot about the water master, and he is not a layman, so he didn't dare to hide it, and said the truth.

"Well, I heard that General Yu and the Dutch fleet fought in Penghu at the beginning, so I must know how powerful Taixi Sailor is." At the beginning of the battle of Penghu, although the Ming army achieved the strategic goal, but in terms of tactics it was not successful, and the enemy's warships and sailors, but could not completely annihilate the enemy, can only force the opponent to retreat helplessly after the food and grass are exhausted, although he is unwilling, Yu Zhigao also has to admit that the quality of the Dutch warships, artillery and sailors is far above the Ming sailors, so he is willing to accept those Tang Ruowang to find the sailor instructors for the Ming to join the army.

"Yes, at the beginning of the war, the Dutch finally retreated, but the old minister was really ashamed." Yu Zhigao replied, after which the Dutch retreated to exile to build a castle and tried to take it for themselves, until Li You was ready to exile the families of Qian Longxi, Wen Tiren and Zu Dashou and others to exile, then ordered Zheng Zhilong and other pirates to drive the Dutch, after a hard battle, Zheng Zhilong barely achieved this goal, but also let his strength suffer great damage, and then Li You also promoted his official position, and gave his eight-year-old son Zheng Sen the official position to show favor.

This Zheng Sen is actually the future national hero Zheng Chenggong, but unfortunately he is too young now, otherwise let him serve as the commander of the Daming Water Division, probably more suitable than Yu Zhigao, right? Li You can only keep this regret in his heart, and wait for Zheng Sen to grow up in a few years before introducing him into the water master.

"The Taixi countries can sail warships to my Ming Dynasty from thousands of miles away, which is enough to prove that they have better places than my Ming Dynasty in navigation, shipbuilding, and naval warfare, but don't worry, as long as the soldiers of my Ming Naval Division can study hard, they will not be able to win from the blue in the future, you must know that when the Three Treasure Eunuchs went to the Western Ocean seven times, they had not yet begun to sail away; Don't look at them, they can show off their might in the waters of my Ming Dynasty now, and in the future, my Ming Dynasty may not be able to organize a fleet to go around Taixi. Li You comforted that now the Ming Dynasty is still a country that is extremely willing to learn from the West, and it is far from the ignorance of "I have nothing in the Heavenly Empire" of the Qing Dynasty in later generations, so Yu Zhigao and others successfully accepted this point of view.

Because they didn't want this naval division to be infected with the bad habits of other naval divisions, except for some middle- and low-ranking officers who passed the strict examination and were allowed to enter the naval division, the vast majority of the sailor soldiers were re-recruited, including fishermen living in poverty along the coast, displaced people from Liaodong who lived along the coast, coastal residents who were deeply affected by pirates, and sailors left behind in Dongjiang Town...... These people are either for revenge or for meritorious service, and they are rigorously trained every day under the supervision of the daimyo officers and Taixi instructors, and after such a long period of training, they have faded from the youth of the first military and gradually become like soldiers.

After visiting the naval division camp, Li You came to the naval academy again, which was also specially ordered by him to be established, to train those officers who have always been in the water and the materials that can be made in the army, the navy is a very particular accumulation of the army, far from the army can be as quick as the army, so the establishment of a naval academy is a must to do, here is also by the general of the Ming Navy Division and the instructors of Taixi as teachers.

In addition to them, there are also teachers of mathematics, astronomy and other related disciplines sent by Xu Guangqi and Tang Ruowang, who want to lead troops to fight at sea, but it is not possible to understand these knowledge, and Wang Zheng was also drawn out of the military workshop by Li You, and was temporarily transferred here to train them in artillery.

"From this day forward, I have decided to stay in the Sailor Academy and tell you how to fight at sea." Don't forget, Li You also has good attainments in naval warfare, he studied with Zheng He in the Battle of Yashan, and after the Wanli Korean War, he led Zheng Chenggong's fleet to land in the Wa Kingdom, and then led this naval division to defeat the Westerners' fleet, to say that the experience of naval warfare is definitely more than anyone in this school.

"I will stay here for a month, half a day to give you a lecture, and half a day to watch the training of sailors." Since you have Qi Jiguang's training skills in your hands, it would be too wasteful if you didn't use them, "I will really give rewards and punishments according to your usual performance in classes, tests and exercises, which will determine who will hold an important position in the first battle of this water division." "After this sailor is trained, Jiannu will be the first target of their attack.
