In the evening, Chongwen's heralds came out in all directions, and another general order was issued. In the army, it is forbidden to drink alcohol, gamble, fight privately, or engage in prostitution unless there is a big victory. At two o'clock, the whole camp turned off the lights, and all except for the light and dark sentry posts rested, and they were not allowed to move or make loud noises. Each team patrols once every two hours, and those who violate discipline are beheaded.

Every day, the drums are beaten at two o'clock, and each queue team goes out for morning exercises, and the fire head army draws water for morning cooking; at the beginning of the hour, the drums are beaten for food, and the leaders of each team see the commander to listen to the training, and then the big exercises; the drumming stops the exercise at two o'clock at noon, and the lunch is eaten; the drums are not beaten at the second hour, and the big exercises are released; the drumming stops the exercises at the second quarter of the unitary hour, and the food is eaten.

The rules of the camp were established, and the three meals and two exercises per day became customized.

Chongwen set up nine tables in front of the big tent of the Chinese army, and ordered Huashan Yizheng to take charge of the military drum, and come to the wealth cow to take charge of the punishment. On the first day, 18 people were beheaded, on the second day, 12 people were beheaded, and on the third day, 37 people were beheaded. Since then, the whole army has been purged, the orders are strict, and no one is afraid of the military law of the boat division.

Five days later, the Chongwen Grand Boat Parade Division first practiced the naval battle formation. Qidong Hong Dizhen's brother messed with the ship, Hong Dizhen's begging was fruitless, Chongwen drank and ordered the rich cow to be beheaded in front of the battle, which caused Hong Dizhen to cry and scold hysterically.

In the afternoon, the army was drilled, the artillery teams stopped firing, and the teams held high the flag of the Rolling Sea Dragon King to attack, and the leader of the team, Rao Ping, helped Shenmen, and Nanao helped Xu Chaoguang, but they were slow to act, and they fell last, and they were guilty. Because they were business fellows and could not be beheaded, Chongwen ordered the guards to tie the two to the middle table, and ordered the fortune ox to cut off one finger of each of them as a punishment.

The atmosphere in the barracks has completely changed, and the early stage of the whole training is a happy base camp, where everyone gathers to drink and gamble, carefree. But the goddamn Dragon King Island went to sea to the barracks, which became a bloody hell, this bastard kills people at every turn, who can still play happily, the barracks are filled with fear and anger, like a depressed volcano.

That night, Mao Haifeng, the owner of Fujiang Island, came to the army to apologize, tied a thorn strip on his naked body, and knelt in front of the Chinese army's big tent. The ground was paved with new soil, because there were too many killings, and the blood flowed like a river, and it was impossible to pedestrians without loess mats.

Mao Haifeng's face was like earth, but Chongwen was very polite and asked him to enter the account. Mao Haifeng saw Chongwen and immediately made a big salute, and said in his mouth: "The villain is ignorant, unwarranted suspicion, offending the big sea, please go to sea for the sake of the flag of the Dragon King of the Rolling Sea, and the original you are one." ”

Chongwen personally walked down, helped him up, untied the thorn and threw it aside, and said with a smile: "What are you doing, in Hirado Castle, these misunderstandings have been solved with your father, so there is no need for this." As he spoke, he personally put on his robe.

Mao Haifeng said: "The big husband is out at a glance, the horse is difficult to chase, I said that if I wronged the big sea, I will apologize to the big sea, how can I not believe it." ”

Chongwen insisted on asking him to sit down, and then sat back in the main seat, and the guest and host talked and talked happily.

Liu Guan said with a smile: "Since it is an apology, how can there be a reason to come empty-handed." ”

Mao Haifeng said: "Of course not, the big sea is about to go on an expedition to the east, how can I do it if there is no one around to serve, I will send the Persian dance Ji Loris to the big sea, the person is in front of the tent, and the big sea can't let the beautiful woman wait for a long time." ”

Chongwen's face immediately sank, and he said slowly: "The military law I make, you can't be a prostitute in the army, you dare to give me a woman, is it a vegetarian to be a big axe for a rich cow?"

Mao Haifeng's face changed, and he arched his hand and said: "I am not a person in the army, although the car is in the camp, but the person does not show up. ”

Chongwen's face sank like iron, and he said coldly: "Boy, when you enter my camp, you must abide by my law." Xi Sima beheaded Zhuang Jia, Wei Jiang killed Yang Gan, and he divided the army and the people. ”

Mao Haifeng said loudly: "You are so heartless, I am kind enough to fulfill you, but you have a wolf heart and a dog heart to harm me." ”

Chongwen shouted: "Come to Cainiu, drag him out and behead." ”

Liu Guan hurriedly got up and persuaded when he went to sea: "Go to sea slowly, read his ignorant first offense, and those who don't know are not guilty, spare him once." "The general soldier in the tent, the cannon is green, the sea is green, and the catfish boy also pleaded together.

Chongwen pondered for a moment and said: "Since this is the case, cut off his two fingers, thinking that the latecomer will quit." In my bureau, even if you are small, you will be punished, and if you are small, you will be rewarded. ”

With a wave of his hand, two wolf-like guards rushed forward and dragged Mao Haifeng out of the account. Mao Haifeng scolded: "Okay, you treacherous thief, you are a personal vendetta of the communiqué, grandpa will never forget this hatred of severed fingers!"

Kayama Yoshimasa shouted loudly: "You kid also have today. ”

Hai Liqing sighed: "We have offended the business fellowship, and we will be unlucky in the future, whether we win or lose." ”

Chongwen said: "No discipline means no army, no one can turn a group of rabble into an army in a few days, they can only follow Confucius's plan to fight fires, and they can't care about offending people." ”

Er Chuhai said with a smile: "The saint is a benevolent and righteous person, how can you kill people so indiscriminately." ”

Chongwen Zhengse said: "The fire in the country of Xilu affected the capital, and the Duke of Lu Ai called on the people to put out the fire, but the people went to chase the beasts. Lu Aigong was helpless, and asked Confucius, what do you think should be?"

The military advisor Hai Liqing pondered for a while and said: "There must be brave men under the heavy reward, and you can only send the treasury to recruit people to fight the fire." ”

Chongwen smiled: "So you are the wisdom of a middleman, not a sage." Confucius said that in the event of an emergency, where can we reward the firefighters, and where is the treasury enough to reward so many people? Command, that whoever does not put out the fire is guilty of surrendering to the north and surrendering to the enemy, and that whoever chases wild beasts is guilty of stealing and forbidden. The order has not been given, and the fire has been extinguished. ”

Er Chuhai nodded and said: "I understand, since the reward can't be formed into an army in a few days, it can only be tortured." ”

Chongwen said: "Exactly, the last thing we have is time. Now that the war has started in Qicheng, we will swear to go out tomorrow and see what kind of army we have put together, and we can still take care of offending people? Now, let's look at the will of Mazu Niangniang. ”

As he spoke, Chongwen took out a pair of seashells from his arms, and led a group of cronies out of the big tent to the flagship Bloodbird Ship's cabin. After putting on three sticks of incense, I inquired about it, and the result was that the seashell was positive and negative, and it was lucky.

At this point, the expedition has been decided.

On the 8th day of May in the second year of Dakang Yongji, the boat division of the General Administration of Trade and Commerce of the East China Sea Merchant Group boarded the ship in Western Australia, Fujiang Island, and embarked on the journey of conquering the country.

There were no flags and drums, no ceremonies, only flags, a team of soldiers, and a cart of baggage to board the ship in an orderly manner. There was really no noise, no chaos, and the black crowd moved with their respective flags, like a nest of orderly black ants, rushing to the sails of the sea like a forest.

The entire Fukue Island of Western Australia is like a huge ant nest, surging, orderly, and slaughtering.

In the rolling flow of people, a team of black-clothed knights rushed out of the pass between the two mountains, stirring up a large cloud of smoke and dust. This team of knights galloped on a high horse, silently watching the black torrent under their feet, and the eight-foot rolling sea dragon king flag fluttered high.

All the soldiers knew that this was the commander of the boat, but no one was in the mood to cheer him, no one wanted to cheer the devil... No one wants to anger the devil.

The cannon said happily: "Look, the army. ”

The catfish boy whispered, "It's spectacular." ”

Liu Guan said: "I really didn't expect that after a month of training, these rabble will be a bit like an army." Since we rebelled out of Nanjing, in less than a year, we have a large army, and we have gone to sea wisely. ”

Chongwen said: "If you don't pat yourself on the back, Dakang Tieqi can kill these guys with a single charge, they are still too far away." After a pause, he finally showed a smile: "But it's about enough to clean up those birdmen in the shogunate." ”

The catfish boy said depressedly: "This expedition is too deserted, why don't you go to sea and say a few words." ”

Chongwen scolded: "I really don't have the mood to talk nonsense." As soon as he urged the snowflakes to fall on his hips, the war horse stepped forward a few steps, and suddenly turned the horse's head again, pulled out the Xueliang saber, raised it high, and shouted: "Forward!

For a moment, it seemed that he had returned to that strange island, and in front of him were countless flood beasts, roaring like angry waves. The brethren were arrayed, their chests blazing with flames, their bows and arrows spewing with the iron streams of death.

A fleet of 200 sea ships, 50 guns, 2,000 birds, and nearly 8,000 sailors is a guard force in Dakang, but in the country, this is an unprecedented sea force.

It took a lot of effort to adjust the formation after leaving the port.

The Bloodbird Ship Rolling Sea Dragon King Flag flutters high, located in the first place on the far left of the ship formation, and is the flagship of the fleet. Horizontally unfolded in turn are the gunboats with the strongest firepower, and they are also the leaders of the teams, namely Wang Shi, Xu Hai, Xu Yi, Liu Huaide, Wu Ping, and Fei Baijie on the side.

Led by the gunboats, the warships of the boat division were divided into 7 sentry columns to follow the advance, with about 20 warships per outpost, forming a vast maritime matrix. This matrix is about 100 zhang wide and about 2 li long, and is composed of 200 to 300 foreign ships or wide ships.

Once in combat mode, these ships will quickly spread to the left and right, forming a single column nearly 10 miles long, spraying a dense barrage of iron bullets and lead at all enemies.

About 10 miles before the formation, beyond the sea horizon were 5 horseshoe crab poles led by Li Qiqian, a cannon, and behind this formation were 18 large and small baggage boats, which were protected by several patrol clippers.

The so-called patrol clipper is a small horse boat of about 60 materials, which is used to transport horses, and because of its fast speed, it also serves as a police and communication role. Chongwen used them to protect the grain ships, mainly because the horse ships were fast, but they were too small to be of any use in the main battle, and they used their flexibility and mobility to maneuver around the enemy ships that attacked them.

A clipper has a captain and 14 sailors. In order to enhance the combat effectiveness of the patrol clippers, Chongwen equipped each ship with a fleet of bird guns, 3 throwers, 2 turtledove horn guns, and 24 fire bricks. In this way, the combat effectiveness of this small ship is also considerable, which is enough to deal with the attack of ordinary ships of the country.

In addition, another part of the patrol clippers are scattered around the formation, accompanying the advance of the formation, and in the event of an attack on both sides, these horse boats will play the role of early warning and covering the steering of the fleet. If the Bloodbird ships raise their battle flags and the fleet takes on an offensive formation, the patrol clippers on both flanks will retreat behind the battle column and join the fleet protecting the baggage.
