Tian V Cai? Remember https://., Zhao Shizhen is not lying, Chen Mu's fleet can't run out for three thousand miles now.

Xiangshan Shipyard was urged by Chen Mu to slow down the shipbuilding, and dozens or dozens of small shark ships were launched at the same time, resulting in hundreds of ships being built at the same time, the progress was very fast and the effect was very good, and the problem was that the maintenance of the warships was all piled up.

When it comes time for a ship to be maintained, this is more or less the case with dozens of ships in the same batch.

At the beginning of the seventh year of Longqing, Chen Mu was sent to Weigang by dozens of ships, not that those ship materials were not well smeared in Manila Bay, but that the shipyard here was still further expanding its scale, and it could not accommodate twenty small shark boats for maintenance and repair at the same time.

After calculating the time, instead of spending time in Luzon, it is better to send ships to Nanyangwei every half month, where the shipyards are large, there are many docks, and there are many people, or it will not be long before it can be repaired, and the next batch of warships will be repaired, and the repair efficiency is better than in Luzon.

Of course, Luzon also had a small group of ships resting.

The reason why he is so busy now is that the technology is not up to par when he started to build the shipyard, Chen Mu only cares about the shape and performance of the ship, and the artillery battle, and he has not considered anything else, so he has not worked the ship materials, and the big ships built in Nanyang Port are much better later.

The bottom of the large ship built by Weigang is plastered with lime, fish oil, and tung oil, which has a protective effect on the maggots, so that even if some wood is mothed, it is not a big problem, and when it is docked, it will be dried for a few days, and the maggots will die.

As for the production method of the Spaniards wrapping copper skin, Chen Mu also decided to learn it in the future like a big ship, the copper skin is very thin, even if it is to nail the copper skin for a thousand material ships like Liuding Liujia, it does not cost much.

Therefore, in the future, the large ships built by Weigang Shipyard and Xiangshan Shipyard will be covered with copper at the bottom.

Chen Shuai was not idle in the days of waiting for the ship, and held a military parade in Macheng, the capital of Luzon, which reviewed the 5,600 banner army under the command of Chen Bazhi, the commander of the northern Luzon state.

This Ming-Lu United Banner Army is the future normal state of the Luzon Army in Chen Mu's eyes, all of them were clothed and carried in the early days of Xiangshan, and the remaining 800 households were trained in the Mandarin Duck Formation, because they were located in the mountainous area of northern Luzon, the positioning of Balang to them was obviously a mountain infantry.

The weapons equipped with Xuanfu Qijia knives, wolf swords, rattan cards, hard bows, poisonous crossbows, long cards, boring handles and other cold weapons, and hot weapons are arquebus guns, small flag arrows, tiger squat cannons and 20 2 catties and 10 5 catties of cannons directly under the command.

Half of the sergeants of the Mandarin Duck Formation were equipped with single-sided cuirasses, and the gunners, gunners, and drummers were all lightly armed, and they were protected by shieldmen with long-card single knives and killers with Qi's knives.

The drill is very proper, the military appearance is neat, this is the military appearance of the little eighth master, 5,600 people were killed by Hachiro in the process of training, 377 were killed, and they were re-recruited. In his words, one step is missing.

"Father, where can there be a war, send the child."

Xiao Hachiro is really Chen Mu watched him grow from a dead child who didn't understand four or six to today's young generals, inheriting Chen's skillful use of birds, artillery and warships, and also learning from Qi's meticulous training of soldiers and horses.

Recruits want to see blood, although Hachiro's command is not a recruit, but it is not easy for a group of remnants of defeated soldiers to be trained by him to become the fierce appearance they are today, of course, Chen Mu can see at a glance that these elite people are not showy - but he can also bring two thousand people from the old pawn of the family to defeat them.

Because they haven't won, they lack the momentum to win.

"It's hard to talk about war, I have to take my troops to Sulu recently, open the trade route, and send their king to pay tribute." Chen Mu pondered for a while, still a little worried, and said, "You can go to Ryukyu by yourself?" ”

"To the Ryukyus?"

The little eighth master thought about it and didn't expect his adoptive father to send him to Ryukyu, and asked in astonishment: "Ryukyu has always served the imperial court, and you want to fight with them?" ”

In fact, before the Battle of Korea, North Korea was not very special to the Ming Dynasty in the tributary countries, and the Ryukyu Kingdom paid tribute for a year or two.

"It is precisely because of the consistent service to the suzerain, a few days ago there were several ships in the Ryukyus port, and there was a descendant of the Min people named Zheng Zhen, who studied for six years in the country, and after returning to China, he specialized in tributary affairs with the Ming Dynasty, and he brought news that last year the Ryukyu Shangyuan Wang, the country is now waiting for chaos."

"Because the eldest son is out of the house, the ministers of the country support the second son, and assign you to lead five thousand households to sail to the Ryukyu Islands with Zheng Ji to cheer for the orthodox king, and don't make trouble otherwise."

Chen Mu looked at the map for a moment before he continued: "Dan'er will go with you, he will pave a trade route, not Ryukyu, but Japan." ”

"There are a lot of businessmen who go to Japan, Kyushu is the most, and the three princes are all doing business. If there is no war in the Ryukyus, you will continue to train your troops, and build a port on the islands near Tanegashima and Kyushu Island in the north, don't build more, it will be a good tributary country, don't cause trouble to others. ”

Hachiro nodded in response, in fact, he now thinks back that when he was a child, he also felt funny when he made trouble for other thousand households, and he saw a lot of the world when he went north, and now Chen Mu was influenced by the practical doctrine of leading troops in the wild road, and went to Qi Jiguang to receive the most severe orthodox military law education, which made him a lot more stable.

The dead child was still so shaft, and asked again: "So, where can there be a war?" ”

The essence of Qi Jiguang's art of war is not in the theory that blood is the alliance of ghosts and gods, or even in the use of weapons and the mandarin duck array, these things can be learned by everyone, but no one can be as elite as Qi Jiguang leading soldiers, because his true essence is the world's first-class strict military law.

Just two words, kill and reward.

Now the Luzon Northern Guard has gone from killing soldiers to killing the enemy, and he needs a war to kill the enemy, but also to use military methods to kill his own people in the course of the battle, so as to turn the military orders that the banner army has mastered into his head into reality.

Only after this can the banner army be the elite soldiers who truly enforce the ban.

"Wait in the Ryukyus, Li Dan will screen which prince is the most pro-Ming and which prince is the most evil, and when the pro-Ming attack the evil Ming, you will send troops to help clean them up." Chen Mu said and thought that Hachiro's brain was a little shaft, and hurriedly followed up and advised: "Don't defeat people at once, for example, if you say that Ryuzoji is evil, you can help Shimazu or Otomo, and don't enter the army again after taking Nagasaki." ”

"If it's Shimazu, take Kagoshima and Tanegashima, don't talk about occupying it, just say that the local garrison rests, drying maggots on the boats, building a few water villages, etc., and accepting some Ming Portuguese Korean merchants, this is called assisting in defense."

Saying that, Chen Mu waved his hand and said: "Li Dan will do these things well, you just need to go to war." ”

Chen Bazhi smiled with satisfaction, hugged his fists and bowed: "Father, don't worry, the child trains with the method of Qi Shuai and the Imperial Widow, and it is they who fight, and when the cannon goes off, he will call his father and mother for nothing!" ”https://./14_14088/
