Qin Feng was also a little shocked for a moment, but in the blink of an eye, he returned to normal, stretched out his hand to help Zhou Li up, and asked with a smile: "How did General Zhou recognize me, we have never met before!" ”

Zhou Li lowered his hand and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, when the warship docked, the shipyard had already been discovered, and the flags on the pier had more than the battalion flag of the Agni Death Battalion, and the Agni Death Battalion was His Majesty's personal guard, where they were, Your Majesty would basically appear there." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Moreover, Director Yu is one of the top officials in the shipyard and even this dock, and he can basically be regarded as the boss here, but he is standing behind you. Thirdly, you are very young, and His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is very young. Fourth, I can tell at a glance that this is a father-in-law. And the martial arts cultivation is quite good, the last general can't see the depth, he is qualified to use his father-in-law, and he is a person with great skills, except for His Majesty the Emperor, who else? Based on the above four points, the final general will be able to determine that it must be His Majesty. ”

"The eyes are very vicious!" Qin Feng looked back left and right, and quipped: "I thought that when I stopped here, it would be the leakage of the king's overlord's qi, and the emperor's demeanor was compelling, which shocked General Zhou. ”

Zhou Li laughed: "Your Majesty is really a funny person. ”

Zhou Li was laughing, Qin Feng was also laughing, and the others couldn't laugh anymore, looking at Zhou Li playfully.

Qin Feng was also secretly happy in his heart, Yu Cong said that this Zhou Li was a lonely guy, but he was really not wrong, and when he went ashore, he immediately offended Yu Cong, Ma Monkey, and Le Gonggong, and even himself, he didn't flatter him. Sure enough, he is a person who can't sneak around and shoot horses, no wonder he can't do it in Chu State, and he is in danger!

"It's not a short time to get to Daming, how about it? Far from your homeland, can you still get used to it? Qin Feng asked.

Zhou Li arched his hand: "Your Majesty Lao cares, people like the last general who are used to drifting on the sea, even if they go home when they set foot on land, there is nothing they are not used to, and besides, the minister can't stay in Chu State anymore, where to stay for a while, he has to kill those corrupt officials." The tree is dead, the person is alive, and when he comes to the Ming Dynasty, the minister is very happy. ”

"Very happy?"

"Yes, very happy." Zhou Li turned his head and pointed to the two huge warships leaning on the dock: "Your Majesty, like this kind of ocean-going warship, whether it is Chu or Qi, it is not nothing, but they are all old goods, some of them are hundreds of years old, such a ship, really sailing to the sea, maybe a gust of wind and waves will break him up, so he can only stop on the dock to bluff people, it is purely a kind of goods." Moreover, the State of Chu does not pay attention to the ocean-going sailors at all, and the current sailors are also playing prestige in the ditches and ditches, where can they go to sea? There is nothing happier for a person like the last general to sail on the sea with these huge warships, which is in vain for the last general's life. ”

"General Zhou is a dragon on the sea, how can he be a fish and shrimp in the ditch, when I come to Daming, I will definitely give you a platform to ride the wind and waves so that you can show what you have learned in your life." Qin Feng said with emotion.

"Your Majesty is the dragon, and the last general is only willing to be a water snake in front of Your Majesty, and if you can be a fox and a fake tiger, you will be happy to live!" Zhou Li said respectfully.

Qin Feng laughed: "Just now, Yu Cong was still saying that you were a lonely minister, but now it seems that you will also make sycophants!" ”

"The last general is not a sycophant, but to be honest, the water master has invested a lot, and without the support of His Majesty, it will not be possible at all." Zhou Li said with certainty, "So Your Majesty is a dragon, and the end will be a water snake." ”

"Okay, well, I listen to it." Qin Feng said happily: "I heard Yu Cong say, you have been training at sea with these two warships for a period of time, what are the results?" Aside from those you brought, what about the local sailors? ”

"Okay." Zhou Li nodded and said: "The first batch of recruits, most of them still have experience on the water, but they were basically fishermen and small boats before, and the battleships are different, more of them cooperate with each other. ”

"That's good, today I saw you practicing at sea, it was dizzying, General Zhou, this group of people should train well, they are all the foundation of my Daming Sailor in the future, they will all be masters in the future and bring more sailors out, you don't want to hide your secrets. I want to train more qualified captains for me. ”

"Of course, the last generals will not hide their secrets, but how much they can learn depends on their talents." Zhou Lidao. "Your Majesty, naval warfare requires not only bravery, but also technology, knowledge, and experience. Not everyone can learn and learn well. ”

Qin Feng nodded: "If you say that, I'm relieved." You are a down-to-earth person, you won't pat your chest and say big things, this is very good, okay, I just want to learn about the relevant maritime affairs with you, it's inconvenient to talk here, let's talk about it in another place, just go where you are, Director Yu should have arranged a place for you, right? ”

"It is an honor for His Majesty to come to the Humble House." Zhou Lidao. "Zhou Yangfan, come here."

A black-faced man, who was also barefoot, ran over from the crowd outside and knelt down on one knee: "Zhou Yangfan has seen Your Majesty." ”

"This is your son. Just now, two warships were practicing at sea, and it was another warship under his command, right? Qin Feng asked. How much skill does he have for you? ”

"Your Majesty, it is the dog, he has followed the last general on the ship since he was a child, he has heard and seen it, and he is also proficient in water warfare, but he lacks actual combat experience." Zhou Lidao.

"Well, the tiger father has no dogs, with a father like you, he must not be far behind, just at sea, his performance is very good, it looks like you, and he is not lagging behind!" Qin Feng said with a smile.

"Thank you Your Majesty for the compliment, but the drill is different, whether it is a mule or a horse, you have to go to the battlefield to know." Zhou Lidao.

"Okay, I'll see!" Qin Feng waved his hand, and Father-in-law Le immediately stepped forward, helped Zhou Yangfan up, whispered a few words in his ear, and then took him away first.

Qin Feng and Zhou Li slowly followed behind.

"Since you said that this batch of sailors has no problem operating the battleship, is it necessary to recruit combat soldiers on board the ship?" As he walked, Qin Feng asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty, but I heard Director Yu say that up to now, the Ministry of War has not officially established a naval division, no number, no establishment, and the last general does not dare to recruit troops without authorization.

"I'll take care of this matter." Qin Feng said categorically: "How many sailors are you going to recruit in the first phase?" ”

"Your Majesty, now we only have two warships, and a few supporting warships, so we don't need many people. The last general felt that the first phase of recruiting 2,000 people would be enough. ”

"Is two ships worth two thousand?"

"Your Majesty, if our warship is equipped according to the standard, it is a battleship with 500 people, of which 120 are the operators of the ship, 30 are the reserve and replenishment, and the other 300 are the soldiers who fight with the ship. The other fifty men will be the operators of the other ships, and the two ships will be a thousand men, but as long as there is a battle, there will be attrition, and there will be a need to replenish them, and besides, the last general will hear from the chief of Yu that the third warship will be launched at the beginning of spring next year, and another 500 men will be needed at that time. Therefore, the last general felt that the first phase of recruiting 2,000 people and training them first, when the time came, they could directly board the ship and directly form combat effectiveness. Zhou Li explained.

"You can recruit soldiers." Qin Feng said: "Just do as you say, I will ask the Ministry of War to make up the relevant documents for you when I go back, Zhou Li, your grade will be tentatively set at the fourth grade, don't be too small, our newly appointed General Zhang Xiaozheng of the Ministry of War is only the third grade, and the grades of the other battalion commanders are only the fourth grade." Now we only have two warships, I will give you two more captains of the fifth rank, ten other captains and officers of the sixth rank, these people, appointed by yourself, all the generals, the salary of the sailors is higher than the salary of the soldiers of the same level in the regular field battalion, as a supplement to the sea, by the way, do you know anything about the salary of our Ming soldiers? ”

"Your Majesty, the last general understands. Although the last general doesn't care about salary, but those who follow the last general have nothing else, but they rely on salary to support their families, the high salary of the Ming army really shocked the last general, and then float up to one percent, those people under the command of the last general must not be happy to die! Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty. Zhou Li said excitedly.

"If you want the horses to run, you have to let them run fast, and those who should feed the horses well and raise them strong have no worries. Regarding the laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty, rewards and punishments, etc., you and your subordinates are all more learned, the Ming army is strictly disciplined, and although the salary is high, it is not so easy to get. Qin Feng said with a smile.

"The last general understands!" Zhou Li nodded again and again.

After a pause, he suddenly said thoughtlessly: "It's really a pleasure to follow Your Majesty, it's too late in the end, it would be good if you came a few years earlier." ”

Qin Feng laughed: "A few years ago, there was no Ming Dynasty, I was just a grass coarse, where did the sailor come?" There's a warship there, right? It's just getting started now, Zhou Li, but my heart is not only this continent, but also this boundless ocean, the sea is much bigger than this continent, train your soldiers well, and there will be a time when you ride the wind and waves in the future. The battle flag of the Ming Dynasty will be planted in all corners of the world with your warship, and where the sun shines, there will be the sun and moon flag of our Ming Dynasty fluttering. ”

One of Zhou Li's one-eyed eyes flashed with a terrifying light, which was the expression after the extreme excitement: "The last general, you will definitely train a tiger and wolf division for Your Majesty." ”
