Even Lang Jingye, who had the strongest troops and was stationed near Zheng Zhilong's hometown, accepted the imperial court transformation, and the warlords in Fujing basically gave up resistance when they saw this, and handed over their troops and horses to the military department to reorganize the police.

As for the soldiers, they were even more happy to return to their hometowns, and they all sincerely admired the great kindness of His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King.

Of course, there are exceptions, such as Wei Ang, the governor of Jianning Mansion and the general soldier, because he did not want to lose his military power, he actually led his 4,000 soldiers and horses to steal out of Xianxia Pass and go north to Zhejiang to seek refuge in Fang Guoan.

However, Zhu Linmiao had already strictly ordered Xianxia to guard the generals, and no one was allowed to leave the customs without an order from the imperial court. Wei Ang deceived the pass hopelessly, and saw that the defenders of the pass were less than 1,000 people, so he ordered to attack the pass.

However, Xianxia is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if it wasn't for Zheng Chenggong's plan to capture the city gate, it would be the Dragon Guard army who wanted to capture this place, and I am afraid that they would have to pay great casualties, not to mention the miscellaneous army under Wei Ang.

Liu Guoxuan heard that Xianxia Pass was different, and immediately led his troops south from Quzhou with Lin Yaotian to reinforce them. I didn't want to wait for them to arrive at Xianxia Pass three days later, and most of Wei Ang's troops had already escaped.

Lin Yaotian's rebel army completely defeated it with only one surprise attack, and captured Wei Ang alive in front of the battle.

The civil officials of Tianxing Mansion had a keen sense of smell, and when they saw that His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King had ordered the military department to change its system, it was actually a warlord from all over the country, and they knew that there must be a storm coming, which was a good opportunity to obtain political capital.

They were struggling to participate in it, so they heard that Wei Ang had gathered troops to rebel.

For a while, the officials led by the Metropolitan Procuratorate were like chicken blood, and the impeachment of Wei Ang was piled up three feet thick in Wenyuan Pavilion.

Soon, the officials realized that there was no new intention to impeach Wei Ang, and immediately turned their attention to the other officers who had been stripped of their military power.

None of these warlords have a clean ass, and in the past, these people had self-respect, and the civil management was still quite jealous of them. But now they have all become the commanders of the light poles, who still takes them seriously, and all the broken things that they didn't have for a while were revealed, and the number of pieces consumed was so large that Huang Daozhou stayed up for two nights to barely finish reading.

Soon, another clever man wrote about the fact that these warlords had not obeyed the orders of the auxiliary king and had avoided war a few months ago, and immediately set off another wave of impeachment climax.

Zhu Linmiao originally planned to stabilize these warlords first, and then clean them up after he returned to Tianxing Mansion. But I didn't expect that others were still in Quanzhou, and the cabinet had already drafted the handling regulations, and quickly sent them to Nan'an to ask him for instructions - Tianxing Mansion is really "excited", and the efficiency is not high.

A total of 74 officers were involved this time, ranging from the rank of general and commander to the rank of 1,000 generals and 100 households. Looking at the crimes behind each name, there are at least more than a dozen crimes, and "captives" and "rebellion" abound. As for corruption, empty salaries, cowardice and avoiding the enemy, almost everyone did not run.

And the handling opinions are basically the same, ranging from the extermination of the clan to the beheading, followed by the signatures of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment, indicating that the opinions of the imperial court are completely consistent.

Zhu Linmiao was not polite, at the construction site of the Nan'an Shipyard, he lay on a beech wood more than ten meters long and signed, stamped it again, and handed it over to the officials sent by the cabinet, "That's it." Go back and use the seal, and immediately release it to all parts of Fujing for implementation. ”

Later, he wrote another letter to Zhang Jiayu, asking him to closely monitor the movements of the impeached officers and prevent them from jumping off the wall. If necessary, you can first lead the army to quell the chaos, and then apply for an order from the military department.

It is conceivable that after this large-scale treatment of officers who were not transferred from the imperial court, the internal discipline of the Ming army will definitely improve significantly. The lessons of the past are here, who dares to eat a leopard and not take the orders of the court seriously?

Moreover, the disposal of these stubborn old-style warlords will also be more conducive to the smooth development of military reform in the future.

A large number of cadets from the two military academies graduated and joined the Dragon Guard Army and the Broken Battalion, which was a new beginning for the Ming Army - elite, efficient, high morale, and with a large number of advanced weapons, the result was bound to be invincible!

The matter of the transformation of the army can be regarded as over, and Zhu Linmiao is also relieved in his heart, and now he can concentrate on the resumption of production at the Nan'an Shipyard.

He turned his head to look at the flat gentle slope of the seashore in the distance, and if no one had told him, he would never have thought that it was the slipway.

According to Pang Zhu, a member of the Ministry of Works, when it was necessary to build a ship, a large number of inclined wooden strips would be laid on the gentle slope, and then the keel would be laid on the wooden strips and supported by a large number of wooden supports.

As the hull continued to be built, more and more wooden frames were used for support. It was not until the whole ship was built that the bracket was removed, and the bottom was cushioned with rolling logs, supplemented by a large amount of grease, and the hull was dragged with a winch, and the rolling logs were slowly rowed into the sea.

At this point, the ship was completed.

There was also a lot of open space around the so-called slipway, on which simple sheds were built, which were places for stacking tools, ropes, and working wood and casting iron.

There is also a place that has been smoked by smoke and fire, which is the place where the wood used for shipbuilding is stacked, and all the materials are burned by Zheng Zhilong.

It wasn't until Zhu Linwei arrived here a few days ago that he cleaned up the remaining waste on the ground, and asked Pang Zhu to find craftsmen to rebuild the warehouse.

Overall, this is a far cry from the meticulous and well-organized shipyard he imagined. It is foreseeable that with the efficiency of this humble shipyard, by the time the Daming Sailor he needed was built, the imperial court's finances would probably have collapsed several times.

Fortunately, after he figured out the overall situation of the shipyard in the past two days, he already had some rectification plans in mind.

For example, in the slipway, you can first build a wooden slide, on which are made of criss-crossed wooden poles to form a shelf, and a large number of wheels are installed under the wooden frame. The new ship was built on this platform.

This slipway keeps the hull away from the ground and protects it from dirty water on rainy days.

You must know that once the wooden keel is soaked and transitioned, it must wait for it to dry before continuing the subsequent process, otherwise the wet wood is extremely difficult to open and easy to deform. In case of rainy weather, dozens of days of waiting for the wood to dry can be wasted.

Second, this kind of slide is of great help to the new ship to enter the water. In the past, the method of sliding a boat into the water with rolling logs required laying the rolling logs and applying grease, which alone took several days. And there will be a lot of wear and tear on the hull.

However, if the hull is rowed into the water with the slide rails along with the wooden frame underneath, it is much less time-saving and effort-saving, and does not wear out the hull.

And once a boat is at sea, the wooden frame is towed back, and the construction of a new ship can begin almost immediately. Traditionally, the wood and grease have to be cleaned and the sloping strips are laid from scratch, which takes at least a few days.

And that's not even counting the price of the thousands of pounds of "lubricating oil" used. In this era, grease was expensive, and although the oil used to launch a new ship was tung oil and all kinds of messy grease poured together, and some of it could be recycled, but even so, the price of grease consumed by launching a large ship of 1,000 materials was more than 100 taels.
