Tianjin, Dagukou, temporary base of Beiyang Naval Division.

It has been more than two months since the Beiyang Naval Division participated in daily training at Dagukou.

For more than two months, 10,000 sailors have been participating in rigorous training almost every day.

Due to the shortage of warships, the training was divided into two groups, one group could not be stopped, and they were arranged to participate in special training in landing warfare.

Musket shooting, musket stabbing, knife slashing, physical training, diving, underwater combat simulation......

Under the overall planning of the Qi brothers, more than a dozen Qianhu and Baihu officials with excellent performance and strong obedience who were preliminarily screened from Senior Brother Shui were appointed as temporary captains.

Interpretation of the overall drawings of the battleship, the functions of each compartment of the battleship, the piloting of the battleship, the calibration of artillery positions, the classification of the battleship, the array of the battleship, and the analysis of historical naval battles......

Except for the skills that the Qi brothers learned from their ancestors Qi Jiguang and their fathers Qi Jin, the rest of the Beiyang Naval Division are pure recruits.

They didn't have time to go to the lecture hall for two years of systematic study, the Admiral didn't give them time, and the Ming didn't give the Admiral time.

Because there was no lecture hall, the Qi brothers had to sit on the ground on the battleship and on the beach to give impromptu explanations, and the ultraviolet rays on the beach were extremely strong, and all of them, including the Qi brothers, were sunburned into black charcoal for more than two months.

Fortunately, although Liu Hongjian requires a huge amount of training, he is absolutely unambiguous in terms of food and salary.

In addition to white rice and steamed vegetables, there is also a meal every day that is meat, and the meat is not the common chicken, duck, fish and pig, but mutton.

Sheep and yang homonym, in terms of efficacy can make young people more masculine, it is said that these mutton are all from the admiral from outside the customs, is the special supply of the Ming water master.

The Ming Border Army and the Jingying Army had the same salary, and the monthly salary of the musketeers was three taels and five cents, and the monthly salary of the cavalry was increased to four taels due to the simultaneous operation of firearms and swords, which was almost more than double that of two years ago.

However, the monthly salary of the sailor was even worse than that of the border army, reaching four taels or five yuan, plus all the food and clothing provided by the imperial court, and it was of the highest quality, so that under the strict training, not a single soldier complained.

"All of them! Each captain brings his soldiers aboard! Qi Yuanfu commanded in leather armor.

The three brothers of the Qi family all served as the instructors of the martial arts hall, but the three of them had to take turns to participate in the training of the water master on a monthly basis, and it happened that Qi Yuangong, the boss of the Qi family, was not there on this day.

"Humble duty!" More than a dozen temporary captains in the front row raised their voices.

Just as he was at this moment, a sentry in charge of the guard ran towards the camp of the sailors on the tidal flats.

"My lord, there is a group of cavalry rushing towards us in the west three miles, unknown source!" The sentry said to Qi Yuanfu.

"All of them, vigil! Gun formation! Qi Yuanfu immediately changed his mind.

Although the Tianjin Guard is located in the pass, there should not be a large number of enemy troops, but the sailor shoulders the expectations of the Admiral, and there can be no mistakes.

Less leaning, a line of cavalry with a burst of dust from far and near.

"Hahaha, Yuanfu, Yuanbi, don't come unharmed!" Before he arrived at the Sailor Array, Liu Hong gradually shouted happily at the Qi brothers.

"It's Lord Admiral!" Qi Yuanfu said excitedly to his brother Qi Yuanbi.

After the knot in the hearts of the three brothers was untied, they gradually felt a sense of respect and admiration for Liu Hong, and Liu Honggradually became the admiral of the navy, and he left for more than two months.

For more than two months, the Qi brothers have not dared to slack off for a day, and they have been training day and night just to repay this kindness.

Now that the Lord is here, this is like the future generation of teaching directors raiding the classroom to check the teacher's teaching level, and the two of them are not only excited, but also a little apprehensive.

After all, the current training method of the sailor is still set by their ancestor Qi Jiguang, and now that decades have passed, they dare not pack a ticket for the real effect of the training.

"Well, the two of you have worked hard, and all the sailor brothers have also worked hard, this king has nothing to do today, just come and go around casually, how should you train, how to train!"

Liu Hong, knowing that his identity might put pressure on the soldiers, explained in a hurry.

The expedition to Korea and Rakshasa lasted for more than two months, and what he was most worried about was the Beiyang Naval Division, after all, whether the Ming Dynasty could regain the control of the sea in the East and the South Seas depended on this newly built naval division.

And the first battle of the water division in the future is likely to be Zheng Zhilong's Zheng family water division, and the enemy of the Daming water division is too strong.

As far as he knew, the strength of the Zheng family's sailors was too strong, not to mention the quality of the warships and the number of sailors, the Zheng family's sailors suffered only one defeat from the rise of Zheng Zhilong to the fall of his grandson Zheng Jing, and they were defeated in the hands of Shi Lang, the general of the Zheng family's sailors.

In terms of warships, the Beiyang Naval Division is not as many as the Zheng family, in terms of the number of naval divisions, the Beiyang Naval Division is not as many as the Zheng family, and in terms of krypton gold, the surplus silver of the entire Ming treasury may not be comparable to the Zheng family.

It's just horrible.

The only thing Liu Hongjian can do is to start with armaments and soldiers, not many soldiers but fine, not many ships but strong, not many artillery but powerful!

"Lord Admiral, your flagship Shanhaiguan has been anchored in the harbor, and without your orders, we did not dare to use it for training." Qi Yuanbi bowed his head and arched his hand.

"Ridiculous! Battleships are produced for combat, and training is also combat, so why treat them differently! Liu Hong gradually pulled his face down and reprimanded.

Xu is the Qi family was suppressed too much back then, and now it is a little impossible to let go of the officialdom again, this momentum cannot be lifted, and bureaucracy must not be rampant in the army.

"What the adults teach is that it is sinful to be lowly in office!" Qi Yuanbi immediately bowed his head and confessed.

He was also aggrieved in his heart, after all, he had been training hard and conscientiously in order to win glory for the Admiral and the Ming Dynasty, and now he had annoyed the Admiral just after they met.

"My lord, although the Shanhaiguan has not been used, the soldiers of this ship have already undergone several rotational training on the other No. 1 Fu ship, and this is the first mate Bu Jiageng selected for the Shanhaiguan." Qi Yuanfu hurriedly pulled the first mate Bu Jiageng out to play the round.

"Well, you are a first-time offender, and this king will not be held accountable this time, but only this once, not as an example! Bureaucracy must not run rampant in the army! Liu Hongjian said, and then motioned for the sailor to start his daily training.

"First Mate...... What's your name? After educating Qi Yuanbi, Liu Hong gradually turned his head to look at the thin and not tall first mate.

"Captain, my name is the Bu family farming, the divination of the divination, the home of the hometown, the cultivation of the cultivated land." Bu Jiageng easily showed his face, and also explained his name.

"Well, the name is not bad, Shandong, right?" Liu Hong gradually glanced at it.

Looking at this guy's wandering eyes, he must be the master of a thief, but he doesn't know what his character is, Liu Hong gradually said in his heart.

"My lord, I am indeed from Laizhou, Shandong." Bu Jiageng said with a grin.

"Well, let's go, take Captain Ben aboard! This king is going to train with you today! Liu Hong gradually said with pride.

He has been thinking about the sailor for two years, and now the Beiyang sailor has started from scratch, and he has promoted it with one hand, and he said in his heart that it is impossible not to be arrogant.

"Obedience! All of them, board the ship and get ready for battle! Qi Yuanfu and his brother Qi Yuanbi looked at each other and said.
