Navy.. Daming Water Division.. Daming sailors.

In this era, it can be said that it is a real technical service, not only has a wide role, but also the resources required to train a qualified sailor soldier are far greater than the training of an infantry of the Tianhu Army.

Such a class of troops, since the appearance of fighting.

For Daming, for Zhu Youzhen, it is definitely not a simple existence that can be used as a general consumable, and in the eyes of many people, he will die if he dies... It's a big deal, and there is an essential difference between changing a group of people.

The high technical threshold and high cost make this type of soldier not only a valuable asset of the Ming Dynasty, but also the confidence of Zhu Youzhen to go to the vast sea in the future.

Zhao Yunkai came quickly... Of course, there is no reason to be unhappy to come back.

The holy decree arrived in Tianjin Wei from the capital on the same day, and it was even less than three days before it arrived in the hands of Zhao Yunkai, and after receiving the news, he did not dare to delay for a moment, so he got up from Penglai again and went to Tianjin Wei, and the back and forth were by sea, and the speed was naturally extremely fast.

Arrived in the capital.

Zhao Yunkai didn't stop for a moment, ignoring the fatigue caused by the bumps on the sea road, he changed his clothes and entered the palace.

"Aiqing.. It's been a good thing lately, it's been hard work all the way.."

"Back to Your Majesty, it's not in the way.. It's good to be in Penglai."

"Hahaha!" Feeling the words in the mouth of the Admiral of the Daming Shandong Navy in front of him, he already had a little taste of oysters on the seaside of Shandong.

Zhu Youzhen couldn't help laughing, and Zhao Yunkai saw that Zhu Youzhen was laughing... He gradually laughed.

"I asked you to go to Penglai, but it was really difficult for you, come... Tell me how the Shandong Sailor is doing now. ”

If you say anything else, Zhao Yunkai is probably not good.

But when it comes to Shandong water division, then he, the water commander, can be said to be the most professional professional household in the Ming Dynasty.

I saw that Zhao Yunkai began to say after a while: "Back to Your Majesty, the Daming Shandong Naval Division now has five ironclad ships, seven under construction, more than 20,000 sailors, two shipyards, and one affiliated Shandong Naval Division... Among them, more than 3,000 students have been recruited this year. Most of the people who taught knowledge were officers or soldiers in the Penglai Shipyard and the Naval Division. ”

I have to say that Zhao Yunkai's ability is enough, enough to make Zhu Youzhen feel that he is not looking at the wrong person, but in Zhao Yunkai's heart, he actually feels a little ashamed of the imperial court.

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Zhu Youzhen to speak, he continued: "Your Majesty... The minister was a little ashamed, and asked His Majesty to blame.."

But this made Zhu Youzhen stunned, and was just about to speak and praise him, why did he come to ask himself to blame again, so he asked: "Aiqing has done a good job in Shandong, I am very relieved.. What about blame? ”

"Your Majesty . . . What the minister did in Penglai is not worth mentioning, but he has not shared his worries for the court for such a long time, and he has not fought for His Majesty... It's just a hard training to spend money.,The minister feels that this is not a taste in my heart after all.... Your Majesty! ”

"Hahahaha!"

I thought it was something, but I didn't expect Zhao Yunkai to say that the plea was because he felt sorry for Zhu Youzhen's money... Of course, I have to say here that the Daming Shandong Water Division is indeed a real money-burning machine, at this point... The cost of a naval division is more than ten infantry divisions.

What's more, under the instruction of Zhu Youzhen, the Shandong Naval Division is still expanding externally, constantly expanding the number of the entire Naval Division.

The number of people has gone up, the scale has gone up, and even the construction of ironclad ships has gradually increased, looking at the steady stream of raw materials sent every day.

Zhao Yunkai... It's just too tormented inside.

The Tianhu Army is not a wealthy army, and Zhao Yunkai knows that although the current imperial court has been greatly improved compared to before, if it is said that it can be squandered and smash a lot of money that is not worth money...

Zhao Yunkai didn't agree, and he couldn't understand it.

"Your Majesty . . . You.. Why are you still laughing! ”

Zhao Yunkai saw that Zhu Youzhen didn't speak, but just laughed vigorously again and again, and his cheeks were a little red. I couldn't help but speak.

And Zhu Youzhen calmed down his emotions and said: "Aiqing.. Do you know? For such a long time, I have never considered how much money the Daming Mountain Sailor has spent, but I have sent someone to keep an eye on you... Look at how fast you're spending your money, and if you're spending it slowly, send someone over to see how you're doing. ”

Zhao Yunkai suddenly realized, he finally understood why the scale of the entire Shandong Navy Division in the past few years has continued to expand and develop like a balloon under his continuous refinement.

The reason behind it is actually because His Majesty is secretly manipulating all this.

"Your Majesty . . . If that's the case, why didn't you show it earlier, and the minister might as well go directly to build a dozen or twenty ironclad ships! ”

But as soon as these words came out, Zhu Youzhen raised his eyebrows.

I couldn't help but say, "You think my silver fell from the sky... And a dozen or twenty ironclad ships, giving you so many ships ... Do you have that many people? ”

Unexpectedly, the voice just fell.

Zhao Yunkai's face turned straight in an instant, and he immediately said, "Your Majesty.. You can rest assured, as long as the minister has so many ships, the minister must have so many sailors, if there are so many ships that there are no sailors to drive, it is that the minister has no ability! ”

"Oh? Let's talk about it carefully.. I remember that when you first went to Shandong, you were poor and white, how can you be arrogant now? ”

Zhu Youzhen was also a little curious about what Zhao Yunkai meant by not being a bad sailor...

After all, in Zhu Youzhen's original conception, it was difficult to train sailors, and even the fact that the first division could train to become qualified sailors according to the predetermined plan was already a great achievement.

"When the minister first arrived in Shandong, he was indeed poor and white, but it didn't matter, the materials arrived immediately after.... Actually, hehe.. Your Majesty, it's not much of a hardship. ”

"But the problem of life is small, but the problem of training is big, our division can be said to be a complete landlubber at that time, and all of them were pulled up to become sailors at once, and no one has any experience... We spent money from the local area to find those fishermen with good water quality, and taught us training hand in hand, after all, this swimming book is not taught..."

....

Zhao Yunkai said a lot, and Zhu Youzhen listened a lot.

After listening, Zhu Youzhen only felt that he was indeed looking at the right person, and he also understood why the scale of the Shandong Navy Division could now reach the scale of nearly 20,000 sailors.

You must know that in the matter of training sailors, Zhao Yunkai is even a newcomer himself.

As the Admiral of the Marine, he first went down to the field to train himself.

Even the former division commander and the current admiral are floating in the waves every day, how dare the soldiers below have any emotions?
