Lu Ning then put forward his own new battle plan: send Li Jinglong, who is experienced in naval warfare, and Xie Jin, taking advantage of the calm now, to take a hot air balloon and an airship to patrol along the sea level.

First, I want to grasp the distribution of the so-called Zhenhai Heavenly King in the thirty-six islands, and second, I also want to find out if there are any reefs and reefs in this area.

In addition, he also wanted to send Zheng He, a eunuch who had made many military achievements, as a new vanguard officer, to lead people to clear the hidden reefs in this sea area, as well as wooden stakes and iron chains.

Although his battle plans were quite meticulous, they were all used by newcomers who had been trained from military schools.

Invisibly, the old generals who went with him on the expedition have been marginalized.

Coupled with Lu Ning's mocking words that day, it made these people even more gloomy.

Even Xu Da's face was flushed, and he didn't know how to answer this conversation.

If it wasn't his son-in-law who sat in the position of the general, he couldn't wait to go out and collide.

"Since the general refuses to trust us veterans, how about it be better to disperse us into the ranks of the navy and give you the soldiers who charge into battle?"

As a general, he naturally knows the psychology of the generals well.

"Now is the time to wait, our army must be familiar with naval warfare immediately, so I will hold a naval combat training course on my capital ship, and I hope that all the generals will come in time to listen to the lecture."

After these words were spoken, the fierce general Lu Zhongheng quit.

"I said general, to put it mildly, when we people followed His Majesty to fight in the south and the north, you were still playing with mud in Changning County, do you need you to train us?"

Lu Ning knew that this man had two brushes, but they were on horses, not in naval battles.

"General Lu, if I give you twenty small boats and ask you to clear those obstacles on the sea, can you do it?"

"The last general is naturally fine."

He stepped forward and wanted to pick up the arrow, but who knew that Lu Ning's hand was raised to a high place, telling him to catch an air.

"Back then, Ma Tan was beheaded, and Zhuge Liang shed a few tears, but a brave and unscrupulous person like you who is not familiar with naval warfare, if you go out rashly, whether you are beheaded by the enemy or come back to ask for beheading, you will not shed a single tear, after all, I can't raise waste!"

At this moment, Lu Zhongheng finally couldn't stand it anymore, and pulled out his saber with a bang.

"Who do you say is the waste? There is a kind of come down and fight with me, I have endured you for a long time! ”

At this moment, he suddenly heard a bang, and Lu Zhongheng was so frightened that he took a step back.

Only then did I find that Lu Ning had an extra Browning pistol in his hand at some point, and the muzzle of the gun was still smoking.

"General Lu, I can beat you ten times for a reckless man like you, and if you dare to challenge the dignity of this general, you will be dealt with in military law immediately."

Lu Zhongheng's heart was quite unhappy, but he was also afraid, and said that he would retire at the end, and then retreated to everyone's class.

Lu Ning looked coldly at the generals present and continued.

"Ben General is young, if any general is not convinced, you can come out and say it clearly, as long as you can do the following two things, the future battle will be commanded by you, and Ben will absolutely obey your orders!"

Everyone was silent, and no one dared to ask which two conditions were.

Lu Ning didn't expect them to ask, so he asked and answered himself.

"First, you can challenge the pistol in the general's hand, and if you are confident that you can dodge the bullet, you will pass the test."

Everyone shrank their necks in fright, and when they heard that this bullet could shoot through iron plates, which one would dare to challenge this thing, no one dared to respond.

"Second, lead some people to clear the obstacles in the sea, so that our team can sail smoothly, and if we can do it, we will also listen to your command, who dares to come?"

The fact that the brave general Ma Feilong was greedy for merit and was plotted against still buried a shadow in the hearts of the generals, and no one dared to answer when he said this.

So when he said the second condition, no one dared to come and take the order.

Because in the face of naval battles, no matter how brave and strategic the former veterans were, they were all novices, and the results may not be much better than Ma Feilong.

Seeing that these people didn't speak, Lu Ning said.

"Since everyone doesn't want to challenge the authority of the general, then honestly conduct naval combat training, the instructor of this training is Zheng He, no matter how high or low your position is, you must unconditionally obey the instructor's orders, if anyone dares to defy the instructor, don't blame the general's ruthless military law!"

At this time, Zhu Di, the supervising army, took the lead in standing up and said to Zheng He.

"This king is also interested in naval warfare, count me in, I hope you can give me advice."

What the general said was an order, Zheng He received the order in hand, and said to Zhu Di very humbly.

"The prince has the grace of knowing the young general, but if the young general knows, he must naturally say everything."

Zhu Xiongying also stood up.

"Instructor Zheng is also counted as one of the kings."

When Zhu Xiongying was eleven years old, he was named the king of Yangzhou by Zhu Yuanzhang himself, so Zheng He was also quite polite.

Seeing that the two giants in the army were unequivocally carrying out the orders of the great general Lu Ning, the other veterans naturally had nothing to say.

Everyone knows that since the expedition is with this ship, the opportunity to make contributions is also hidden in this naval battle, and it is up to everyone to grasp it.

As Lu Ning said, only by letting go of the stinky shelf and being willing to be a primary school student can you truly make contributions.

These people started the second spring of their careers and followed Zheng He to learn the basic theories of naval warfare.

In addition to learning the basics, I occasionally go out on missions with the sea ships, and I see the rapid growth of the generals.

Lu Ning was secretly happy in his heart, it seemed that the first step in sailing was just around the corner.
