In the sixth year of the Apocalypse, the main force of the Later Jin Dynasty went to Liaoxi, and first Sun Chengzong went to work, and Nuer Hachi keenly felt that this was a good opportunity, and the army waved westward to take advantage of it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 At the same time, due to the lack of garrisons in the rear, Dongjiang Town attacked aggressively, taking advantage of it, and it also showed enough containment in this year, Dongjiang soldiers along the Kuandian Road, all the way to the vicinity of Hetuala, narrowly captured its old capital, if Mao Wenlong issued to his subordinates The military salary can be sufficient, and the silver in the treasury can be taken out to build armor and weapons, instead of being "abducted and absconded" by several staff subordinates who will be hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, the strength of Dongjiang Town can be stronger, I am afraid that its subordinates can advance all the way to Fushun Pass, straight into the vicinity of Shenyang, in southern Liaoning, It is completely possible to recover Jinzhou and Fuzhou, but unfortunately the strength is a step worse after all, but there is no sailor in Houjin, if it is not for Yuan Chongzhen to kill Mao Wenlong, Dongjiang exists as a force to contain the rear of Houjin, after all, it is still somewhat useful.

"The intelligence does work." Wen Zhongfa said to Cao Zhenyan: "You tell me the code name, if there is anything specific, say it quickly, you have to go back early, in case you have been out for a long time, it will make people suspicious." ”

"Yes!" Cao Zhenyan finally felt a trace of trust and care, which was precious to intelligence officers...... In a completely different environment and crowd from the inner choice, the personality is actually always split, even if it is like Li Mingli, a worship brother, Cao Zhenyan has to try his best to conceal his identity, and he will never dare to expose it easily, and the trust and care of the two high-level leaders of the merchant army in front of him is what Cao Zhenyan has not received in the past few months...... Even if he is as close as his parents and family, Cao Zhenyan will never dare to reveal his identity.

"You still have to hurry up and develop the downline, and the important thing is to have more contact without making people suspicious." The bald man pointed out to Cao Zhenyan as an experienced senior: "Don't let them know their identities with each other, one-line contact, you don't expose their downline, you have to prepare a few lurking dead spots, pay more attention to them, hide once something is wrong, have an escape route, it is best to rehearse how to escape in advance." You must be cautious in developing your downline, don't be greedy for merit, to be honest, you can survive, and if you pass on useful information like this, your credit will be not small. In the future, after the restoration of Liao, not only will your family not be liquidated, but you will also have a great record of it, which will also be very helpful for your future career! ”

Cao Zhenyan's heart is hot when he listens, he was originally a person with a very heavy heart of fame, the Cao family is the town of Liaodong, and the ancestor is known as the descendant of Cao Bin, which does not know whether it is true or false, but from the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Cao family is a family of military attachés, and later to Cao Shixuan's generation lost the military position of Liaozhen, and lived at home as the hereditary commander of Shenyang Zhongwei, and his status plummeted...... In the border towns, the commander is just a kind of honor, if you really want to have power, you still have to have a military position, Cao Shixuan can't even be a garrison, life is also very embarrassing, colleagues are squeezed out, despise, I'm afraid it is inevitable.

Cao Shixuan's depression and dissatisfaction also turned into the motivation for him to throw himself into the arms of Houjin, and it can be said that quite a few Ming generals surrendered voluntarily.

Of course, this emotion also had a considerable impact on Cao Zhenyan, when he was in the Thirteen Mountains, he took the initiative to join the death squad to go up the mountain in the middle of the night, of course, he also wanted to make a name for himself, fight for his father, and correct the name of the Cao family.

"I also want to ask the commander and the deputy commander to help me." Cao Zhenyan was very alert and was not carried away by the excitement, he said: "It may be difficult to come back after the next day, but we must develop the subordinates as soon as possible." ”

"It's easy to cross the river to find candidates from here, and if you develop in the Liaoyang area, it's difficult to send intelligence over."

"If it is the downline of Liaoyang and Shenyang, it is better to find someone who can have the opportunity to go to Sancha River or go to Horqin with the grain team." Wen Zhong said: "Intelligence doesn't necessarily have to be sent to us, in the Thirteen Mountains is where the marching division is located, and they will select those who are useful to us and send them over when they send information." ”

Cao Zhenyan sighed in his heart, if the Ming army or the Houjin side, of course, I would like the information to be sent to him, whether it is coercion, or the earliest contact with useful information, this kind of intelligence point is definitely unwilling to let go of others, but the Shangtuan Army here is everything with the safety of intelligence personnel first, intelligence second, and public affairs first, private interests second.

This should be Zhao Lide's statement that the merchant army has its own law, rather than the cultivation of people.

……

Wen Zhongfa took a sip of tea and said, "Two bureaus came over to the staff of the Taiwan Marching Division, let's meet?" ”

After Cao Zhenyan confided all the known information in detail, the bald man personally recorded and archived it...... Of course, this is top secret, and the level of secrecy is quite high, in addition to transferring a copy to the Military Intelligence Division of the Thirteen Mountains Marching Division, it must also be sent to the General Division, and then sent by the General Division to the Attendant Division, Zhang Han may look at it, or he may directly approve it and submit it to the Military Intelligence Division for filing.

While the bald man was struggling to write, Wen Zhong sat on the chair to rest...... Just rushed with the bald two, and they were tired enough.

"In the future, if this intelligence line is established." The bald man sealed the report and said with a smile: "The achievements of our 12th regiment must be quite impressive. ”

"I can't let go of my hands and feet yet." Wen Zhongfa said: "The credit has to be counted on the head of Dongjiang Town, damn it." ”

"It won't be long." The bald man said solemnly: "The last incident was almost torn in the face, and the Dongjiang side pinched its nose and agreed to our conditions, and it was not the big boat that shocked it." ”

"Mention this." Wen Zhongfa said: "The people from Taiwan are related to this matter. ”

"What?"

"The Taiwan side is now using all the good wood to build what kind of schooners, the tonnage is about the same as the last time I came, generally about 16 to 300, and the artillery is more installed, but the main thing is to take its shape to facilitate the speed of ships on the sea, seize the upper hand, intercept enemy ships, and plunder merchant ships, which is very convenient. This is the ...... I saw in the military secretary's briefing."

"Why didn't Lao Tzu see it?"

"Hehe, only regimental commanders can see the announcement......"

"Damn it......" The bald man was depressed for a while, and said, "Next time, Lao Tzu will have to tell you to tear that bird to shreds." Now let's let it go if there's a fart, what the hell is going on? ”

"Let's meet him and tell you."

Wen Zhongfa grabbed his cloak and put it on, and went out with a smile.

The bald man scolded again, and he could only put on a cloak and follow out.

The Taiwanese came to sit in the public hall of the camp, and the military and political officer accompanied him to talk, and when he saw Wen Zhongfa and the bald man coming, and the military and political officer had something to say goodbye and leave, the Taiwanese guest stood up and gave a military salute to the two...... Although wearing civilian robes, the Taiwanese guests were also apparently military.

"Gan Hui, the chief officer of the Datong Zhongwei of the schooner fleet of the Taiwan Marching Division and the commander of the Marine Corps Company of the ship, has met two commanders."

"Your Excellency's position is very long." Wen Zhongfa said a joke, pointing to the place where Gan Hui was originally sitting, and told him to sit down again.

Gan Hui's position should be at the level of deputy battalion, which is not too low, and everyone understands that these heroes from the south of the sea will build big ships in the future, and it will be very easy for them to become captains or fleet commanders in batches, and it will be easy to reach the regimental level or even the division level.

"First mate Gan, have you come over this time?" The bald man was curious about this schooner.

"It's coming." Gan Hui showed a look of pride on his face, and he said: "This time it is the Datong Zhongwei schooner heading north, and the captain Zheng Zhilong himself is the first mate and commander of the Marine Company. Boatswain Komonovich. ”

"The boatswain is Russian?"

"That's right." Gan Hui said: "The most important thing in a Western-style sailing ship is the sail. Don't be afraid of the two jokes, the subordinates have grown up on the beach and boats since they were children, and there is no problem in manipulating and manipulating the sea boat, but this kind of Western-style galleon, unless it is a veteran, the average person who has been on the ship for three or five years, may not be able to recognize all the sails, let alone be able to distinguish all the ropes, and it is impossible to master the sail raising and lowering of the whole ship in a short time, know what sail to raise in what wind, how to control the windward side, and break the rope and lower the sail in a critical situation...... If someone wants to teach these things, it will take more than five years to master them. This time we sailed north, mainly to avoid the risks, and there were many midshipmen on board, mainly our own boatswain candidates in the future, all of whom were learning rope from the Russians. ”

"I've heard that, too." Wen Zhong said: "The Zhenyuwei that came over last time is also a big ship captured from Hongmaoyi, although Zheng Shaolai is the captain, but many of the first mate sailors and sailors are Russians, and there are also hired Portuguese?" ”

"Yes!" Gan Hui said: "In addition to hiring the Portuguese to cast cannons in Lizhuang, Taiwan also hired the best of them to be our sailor officers and instructors...... The Portuguese, the Dutch, the Spaniards, were less hostile to us and more respectful and obedient. ”

"They want to occupy Macau for a long time, so of course they will be a little polite to us, and don't let them coax them."

Gan Hui smiled and said, "That's the truth, but before we really have enough strength, we can only ask them to coax it." ”

"So you came here this time, presumably to learn and exercise novices, and found our camp, what do you want us to do?"

"Still want wood." Gan Hui said: "The big trees we cut down before are actually good enough according to the standard of the Fuchuan boat, they are all pine trees held by a few people, and there is no such big wood here in Liaodong." But now the Russians are proposing that the construction of a really big ship requires a lot of wood and high requirements. ”

"Tell me about it?"

"We need 1,000 pieces of wood, of which 30 percent can be pine and oak, requiring 1 meter 3 from the ground, with a diameter of more than 60 centimeters, and a height of more than 3 meters for the most basic standard, and the remaining 70 percent of the wood must be made of oak wood, especially the keel with oak, which needs to be more than 300 years old, and the big wood that five people hug is qualified."

Wen Zhongfa and the bald man glanced at each other, both feeling a little surprised.

The bald man said tentatively, "You need so much wood to build a ship, what a big ship is this?" ”

Gan Hui smiled bitterly: "Originally, I didn't need to get on such a big ship all at once, the original plan was to build a warship of about 600 tons in the next step, and wait for another three years to build a 1,000-ton ship, but now I can only get on it all at once, which is really difficult." ”
