Zheng Zhilong pointed to the small boat pulling the merchant ship and said: "This is an eight-pulp ship, which cannot fight thieves, but it can sentry and supervise the battle, and it can also carry dozens of people to engage in battle." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Zhang Xuwen looked at the small boat, and then at the giant ship of the Dutch, and immediately shook his head.

"This is not the smallest, there are also small sentinel boats, four pulps, which are also used for sentinel and engagement, and black ships, two of which are connected, with iron nails in the front, nailed into the enemy ship and set fire, and then intercept and release the officers and soldiers back to the big ship. The water bow ship, the double canopy ship, is a medium-sized warship, and the largest one is the Tianchengwei, which is our Chinese military ship, with a displacement of 120 tons, two main guns in the front and rear, and two small Franco machines on the foredeck, three masts and four sails, which can carry more than 100 soldiers and can take over the gang. ”

Zhang Xuwen and others looked at the port more and more clearly, all kinds of sailing ships are large and small, Zheng Zhilong and others introduced the functions of these small boats, warships and merchant ships can generally be mixed, but Yusheng's ships are in order to train soldiers and sailors, so the functions are very clear, and one-third of Yusheng's fleet is anchored in the port, with the introduction of Zheng Zhilong and Chen Qigui, the functions of these ships are becoming clearer and clearer.

Li Pingzhi said with emotion: "Today, I know how big the world is, and I have grown a lot of knowledge. ”

Zhang Xuwen also said: "No wonder the so-called northerners ride horses and southerners sail, I have only seen a few small boats in the north, and this time I know the difficulty of sailing." ”

"It's not as hard as you think." Zheng Zhilong said: "The key is time. Sailor, warrior, captain, shipbuilder, gunner. It didn't take a few years to see the effect, so the people in the military department must not be in a hurry. ”

"Actually." Zheng Zhilong said again: "As far as I know, if it weren't for the fact that this side is in charge of political affairs, he would be able to suppress the dissatisfaction of all parties with his identity." ”

"Everyone is ready to disembark." Chen Qigui had been paying attention to the spacing and steering, when people felt a slight shock to the hull of the boat, and then the boat leaned against the trestle.

People get on and off the boat from the gangplank, fortunately they are all strong young people, although the journey is tiring, and the first time to sail on the sea, fortunately there is no strong wind and waves, the boat is relatively stable, when getting off the boat, only a few people feel unwell, most of them walk a few steps on the ground, and suddenly return to normal.

"It's not enough." He Bin teased them: "The real old sailor got off the ship and went ashore, and it took a while to get used to it before he could walk as usual." ”

"Silenced." Zheng Zhilong reminded: "Standing political affairs are ahead. ”

Speaking of which, Zheng Zhilong, He Bin and others have met Chang Wei, and later Chang Wei and Li Guozhu went directly to Taiwan, and they went to Tomsk after a short gap.

At that time, everyone thought that they would go to Taiwan to meet Chang Wei and others in a short time, but the delay actually took a year and a half.

"I've seen the usual political affairs." Zhang Xuwen took the lead, and everyone bowed their heads.

He Yusheng is now the most important military officer, and the military officer is also obviously superior and inferior.

The low-level is the Quartermaster Department, the Military Justice Department, the Military Intelligence Department, and the Military Training Department was originally a low-level, but with Wang Changfu, a high-ranking commander, the level has also gone up invisibly.

Of course, this can also be understood as Zhang Han's attention to the Military Training Department, after all, although He Yusheng started as a businessman, the most important thing now is the army, the foundation of the army is military training, the training is not good, what military quarters and military laws are in vain, if you want to spend money, the court spent less money on the head of Liaozhen? Millions of dollars of silver are thrown away a year, and there is not even a wave.

The most important thing is the attendant, the military order, the military and political departments, the chief officer of these three divisions and the chief officer of the marching department, all add the word political officer.

A well-informed official said that in the future, a political affairs hall may be established, and the head of the military department with a political affairs officer is one of the members of the political affairs hall.

Chang Wei was dressed in a blue robe, with the same vertical collar as the military robe, the belt in the middle of the waist was very tight, and items such as kettles and knives were also hung, and the more conspicuous thing was that he was also carrying a saber and a firecracker.

Sun Jingting also wears a sword, Li Shenming does not wear a sword, Li Dongxue and other military officers are not worthy of a sword, Chang Wei, a political official, wears a sword, and there is an obvious feeling of wind and frost on his young face, which makes people see that he is not mature for his age, of course, Chang Wei's face still has an obvious majestic atmosphere, and there is a faint murderous aura.

"Gentlemen, please rise." Chang Wei didn't smile, and his hands only supported him.

After everyone got up, Chang Wei only smiled at Zhang Xuwen and said, "You are here too, I have already told my eldest brother that Xuwen can be a big responsibility, but Xuzong cannot." ”

Zhang Xuwen's face showed a gloomy color, and he said: "My brother has brought a lot of losses to He Yusheng, and I am really ashamed to think about it, and I also feel heartache. ”

"It's human nature." Chang Wei said casually, looked at Li Pingzhi again, nodded slightly, and said to Zheng Zhilong: "You are here, there is a great shortage of people on my side." A T-shaped No. 6 ship has just been built, and it will be launched next month, with a length of 35 meters, a width of 6.7, a height of 3.5 meters, and a displacement of 45 tons. Well, I have wronged you a little, but with the task given to you by the eldest brother, it is more appropriate to get on the ship first. By the way, He Bin stayed in the Marching Division and served as the supervisor of Tuntian. ”

Zheng Zhilong's new position is the head of the marching department, and then the deputy director, and it is a bit condescending to be a merchant captain in this position, but Chang Wei's words are also unquestionable, and he does not mean to discuss with Zheng Zhilong.

For the position of military department, the political officer is the first, followed by the military secretary, the deputy director, then the bureau, the deputy director, and then the director, the supervisor, and the office, and then the deputy supervisor, the deputy director, and then the dispatch position, such as the ambassador of the warehouse, the director of the financial bureau, then the deputy position, and then the secretary, the secretary, the ambassador of the warehouse, and finally the officials and the warden.

The divisions, bureaus, prisons, institutes, and even the tun chiefs and foremen are all positions and positions are very clear, and the relationship between the upper and lower levels is very clear.

The captain here can deal with the fifth rank, and the captain of the battleship is considered the fourth rank, and if there is a large warship in the future, the commander of the sub-fleet, the commander of the fleet, the commander of the fleet, the rank will be raised accordingly.

Zheng Zhilong was not in a hurry, he arched his hand very calmly, and said: "Please also ask the permanent government affairs to match the sailors to his subordinates, we must also get acquainted with each other first, and before the goods are on the ship, it is best to practice in the offshore sea first." ”

"That's a good idea." Chang Wei glanced at Zheng Zhilong and said, "I have set up the wine, and I will give you the wind, everyone please." ”

Everyone had nothing to say, and followed Chang Wei together.

Behind him is the blue sea, the waves are shining, the waves are blooming, the beach looks very white from a distance, and when you walk closely, you can see that it is still light yellow.

There are several trestle bridges, and after going ashore is an area of sand and stones, the harbor does not feel very large, and there is a river nearby, which should be the mouth of a large river.

There are trees everywhere, so lush that you can barely see the edges.

Inside the pier, I saw a lot of buildings, and the crowd became denser.

The first impression of this place is that it is very energetic, full of walking people, all dressed as maritime merchants, and of course there are a large number of sailors, all of whom do not look like good people.

Almost everyone carried a sword, and many carried a long or short firecracker.

Compared to other places in the Ming Dynasty, these guys at sea obviously know what works better...... Almost no one has a bow and arrow left.

There are also a large number of warehouses in the docks, and the rooms are very shabby, but there are a large number of goods hoarded in the warehouses, and there are many people with weapons guarding them.

An official introduced: "These are the warehouses of Yan Siqi or Li Dan and Li Ye, and those people are also their subordinates." ”

Everyone nodded slightly...... Wake up to the fact that this is not only a place outside the world, but also a place where fish and dragons are mixed, and the forces of all parties are intertwined.

"There's a supply base for the Dutch over there." Someone pointed to the large warehouse area not far away and said: "The Hongmaoyi are building a fort in the coastal area of Dayuan, and they want to use that side as their supply base and trade hub, and the warehouse here will be vacated sooner or later." Here, they still have to pay the land fee to Li Ye, and they are already unhappy. ”

Zhang Xuwen asked, "Is the city big?" ”

"It's huge." The official stroked his hand and said: "At the beginning, the largest building complex on our side was the ten villages set up by Yan Siqi and his people, that is, they were fenced with wooden fences, but the place was very large. Then we came and built a large number of buildings, but now from the planning point of view, the red-haired city built by the red-haired people is the largest, and it is a very large city near the sea, not a military fort. ”

Li Pingzhi glanced at Zhang Xuwen and said, "If we have the chance, we will go and have a look." ”

This person is really keen, Zhang Xuwen nodded, and said, "If the permanent government affairs allow, let's go and take a look." ”

Chang Wei turned around and said: "You are also the deputy chief of the military, so don't ask me for this little thing." You will be given a full range of subordinates and guards at the bottom, and you can't travel here without guards. ”

"There is labor." Zhang Xuwen hugged his fists.

The crowd continued to walk, and there were a large number of carriages in front of them, and after everyone got into the carriage, the carriage started, and after walking five or six miles, it stopped.

The surrounding situation is completely different from the chaos of the docks.

A large fence encloses the complex again, and every few dozen steps there is an arrow tower on the fence wall, on which there are soldiers on duty with guns, and the surrounding land is developed, and a large field of green leaves grows all over the field, and some peasants are bending down to cut weeds in the field.

The avenue is straight, dozens of large cars are parked outside, and some technicians and workers are repairing and maintaining the vehicles.

The stables were in the fence, hundreds of horses were locked together, and a smell of horses wafted in, but the people from the north felt kind...... Since entering the south, I have not seen large-scale herds of war horses, even if there are horses, they are the kind of short horses in the southwest that pull goods and carts, Mongolian horses are already considered small and medium-sized horses, and the horses in the southwest are said to be more resilient, but they are also smaller, and there are almost few suitable for war horses.
