After two months of training, running-in, and selection, in the end, there were 5,000 sailors and soldiers who stayed in the Magong Island station, and there were still more than 1,000 vacancies from the roster.

In order to make up for their own empty salaries within the specified time, they even filled their own private soldiers into the water division, anyway, these private soldiers entered the barracks, and in the end they were still under their own control, but they did not fulfill others.

The only thing that worries them a little is that the money in the barracks is not higher than the money that they give to private soldiers, and now many private soldiers are already complaining.

And the most important thing that made everyone speechless, and even hated, was that they and others were trying their best to find a way to recruit people in order to replenish the source of troops, and their commander Li Tianyang eliminated the unqualified soldiers day by day and transported them to Dayuan Island for resettlement, so that in the end, everyone not only had to work hard for the previous vacancy, but also had to find a way to make up for Li Tianyang's layoffs.

Li Tianyang, the main general, is really treacherous, every time he cuts down soldiers, he will not swarm to reduce more than ten or twenty people, he will always cut from the people at the bottom of his ranking, one or two a day, and the least one has lost sixty or seventy soldiers.

Everyone wanted to ask Li Tianyang if the soldiers he had cut should be counted in everyone's ranks, but Li Tianyang just looked at you silently with a pair of flat eyes, so you were really embarrassed to ask any more, so you could only find a way to pull the strong Ding by yourself.

And the ensuing impact is that in order to prevent the people who have been recruited with great difficulty from being recruited today and kicked out of the team for a long time tomorrow, everyone can't play small tricks indiscriminately, looking for those old and weak to complete the task, but a strong man in the water, so that the strength of the sailor team will increase invisibly!

In order to fill the vacant soldiers in the last month, everyone has tried all kinds of methods, such as going to their own township to lure their own clansmen to join the army, bribing related county officials and county officials, and recruiting those errant rangers to serve in the army.

At the end of February, the military attaches of the old department of the Navy Division finally completed the inherent number of people on the roster within Li Tianyang's limited time, and finally relieved the biggest burden on their hearts.

And Li Tianyang's side, he went to the Fujian Governor's Yamen, and in the stern reprimand of Lord Nanju Yifutai, Li Tianyang only acted as a gas bag, and in the end he returned to the water division station with the food that should have belonged to the water master.

Nan Juyi didn't want to take this opportunity to clean up Li Tianyang, but with this return to Beijing to report on his work, seeing that the entire court was controlled by the arrogant eunuch party, Nan Juyi wisely hid his dissatisfaction with the eunuch party in his heart.

By the way, for Li Tianyang, a rare eunuch faction in Fujian Province, Nan Juyi is also very helpless and can only use his words to express his official authority, really want to use practical actions to deal with Li Tianyang, the newly appointed military attaché, this Futai Lord really does not have the determination and perseverance.

Of course, even if there is no eunuch party behind him, in fact, with the evidence of Wang Fang's corruption in Li Tianyang's possession, it is enough to make him ruined, and Li Tianyang only killed him alone and did not affect his relatives It is already a great luck in misfortune.

Easily recovering the arrears of food, Li Tianyang's energy has a higher status in the minds of the veterans of the water division, and his example before made everyone full of admiration for him, but now he has received back the food and salary that he usually receives in every way, which shows that he is not just a non-governmental organization behind him, so everyone gradually has a sense of awe in their hearts.

The greater the energy of the master, the happier it is for them, the subordinates in the officialdom, although everyone has been staying in the broken place of the sailor for all these years, isn't it because they have offended people, or there is no way to climb up?

Now that there is a ready-made way in front of everyone, if these generals don't know how to cherish flattery, it can only mean that he is a fool, or that he is dead to his officialdom.

For a while, the soldiers under the sailor suddenly found that their commanders were all like chicken blood, not only did they become more and more strict during the usual exercises, but even the bad habits of their generals for many years gradually disappeared, as if they had changed as if they had changed into a different person.

The soldiers worked, the main general led and had a good way, he was not stingy with the food and salary in the camp, and he was not greedy for the soldiers' money, and the entire old department of the water division was completely new in just three months.

The biggest change is naturally the more than 6,000 soldiers in the battalion, who used to be old, weak, sick, and disabled, and have an uneven lineup, but now they go to see it every morning when they go to see the school drills.

Of course, these soldiers must still be the same, although the appearance on the surface is already good, and even the Fujian officials who occasionally come to the camp to inspect are stunned, and they can't believe that this team of sailors is still the same demoralized and useless sailors as they once were.

However, in the eyes of a veteran like Li Tianyang, these soldiers still lack a murderous spirit, and if they really want to let them go out and lead the team to kill the enemy, no, if they just go to strangle the pirates who have gone to the sea, I am afraid that most of them will lose more than win, and it is difficult to have the strength to fight.

However, Li Tianyang didn't care about this, for him, it was already commendable that the more than 6,000 soldiers of the Navy Division could be reborn into their current appearance in three months, and his colleagues also made a summary of the training experience he had accumulated over the years, proving that he still had some talent in military training.

And Li Tianyang actually didn't plan to let this team of sailors go out to fight, now the South China Sea is peaceful, there is her father Li De's wild shark in the south, and the biggest opponent in the north, Li Dan's gang, has fallen apart again, and for a long time, no one can challenge the status of Hong Tang now, let alone the sea area controlled by Hong Tang to make waves.

Except for one opponent who still needs them to be cautious, that is the Satsuma Domain, which has always been a thief!

However, after repelling the largest invasion of Satsuma last time, the information provided by the foreign guards during the reconnaissance of the Satsuma territory showed that they could not make a big move against the Ryukyu Kingdom in a short period of time.
