Chapter Seventy-One: White Stripes in the Little Waves

In the face of Yang Meng's shouting, there were more and more onlookers, and they were full of fishy smell, and it was obvious that most of the people here were in mixed water. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

A burly man finally couldn't help it, walked up to Hu Si, and asked, "This lord, do you really want to build a 5,000-ton giant ship?" ”

E Si nodded and said: "Of course, the generalissimo was ordered to go to Minyue to form a navy, but it is not a joke, this navy will dominate the sea for the Qing Dynasty in the future, sweep the world, and become a navy, brother, you have to do it as soon as possible." ”

Dahan spat on his hand, rubbed it vigorously, and said, "That's good! Since it was the generalissimo of the Qing Dynasty who personally came to Mawei to recruit soldiers, I, Zheng Sanpao, would be the first! Write it to me, my lord! ”

Hu Si has already taken a look at this big man named Zheng Sanpao, who is strong and strong, and he is a good material for being a soldier at first glance, but because he is recruiting the navy, Hu Si still has to inspect it.

"Do you know water?"

Zheng Sanpao pursed his lips and said, "My lord, aren't you asking knowingly? Our Minyue boys who grew up by the Mawei River, can they not know water? My lord, my Zheng Sanpao is known as 'the white strip in the small waves', that is not blown out, today the small one will show you a hand to the adult! ”

After speaking, Zheng Sanpao suddenly rushed to the riverside, and a fierce man stabbed down!

"Cut, take a bath in the river, who wouldn't? It's still a small wave, bragging, right? E Si said with a disdainful face.

At this time, a shorter man said: "My lord, keep watching, Brother Sancang doesn't just bathe in the river, his biggest ability is to hold his breath in the water for a long time, and he can catch fish underwater with empty hands." ”

When E Si heard this, he was surprised: "What? Catching fish underwater empty-handed? So awesome? I'm going to see it."

E Si took a stool and sat directly by the river to watch Zheng Sanpao's performance.

Fifteen minutes later, a string of blisters suddenly appeared in the river, and then, Zheng Sanpao rose from the bottom of the water, raised his hands above his head, and two money fierce fish with a body length of more than 1 meter struggled in his hands, but it was meaningless.

Zheng Sanpao shook the water off his hair, then swung his feet, stepped directly on the fake water, and walked to the shore.

"This guy is really a fierce general in the water, this guy is holding two big fish in both hands, and he can come to the water so easily, what a good physical strength and sense of balance this must, this soldier wants it!" E Si secretly made up his mind.

Zheng Sanpao came ashore, walked towards Hu Si with two money and fierce fish, and laughed loudly: "Adult, is the small one okay?" ”

E Si praised: "The strong man is really good!" You passed, after becoming a soldier, 10 taels of silver a month, you go home first to settle down, and enter the camp tomorrow, remember? ”

Zheng Sanpao was overjoyed, this soldier deserved, he could receive 10 taels of silver per month, this is not to be a soldier, but to be an uncle.

He hurriedly said, "Thank you, sir! My lord, these two money and fierce fish, the small one wants to give to the generalissimo, and please do it for the adult! ”

Zheng Sanpao is not only a fierce general, but also very delicate, when he enters the military camp of the navy, it will be under the control of the generalissimo, and the meaning of Zheng Sanpao is known to passers-by.

Hu Si naturally knows that this is a fish with high nutritional value, and he has also caught this kind of fish in Heilong, but the money fish in the Minyue area is larger.

"You have a heart, I took it for the generalissimo!" Esi nodded and motioned left and right to take the fish.

Zheng Sanpao's hand also aroused the audience's desire to compare, and for a while, the recruitment scene was very lively.

"Adult, the little Huang Feilong, is good at naval warfare, and once followed the old man Jinghai Hou to fight in the Taiwan Strait and crusade against Zheng Yi!"

"Adult, little Zhu Shuisheng, has fought pirates!"

"Adult, little Duhong, have fought whale sharks!"

"Adult, little Long Jiu, I've been to Nanyang!"

......

After a day's work, the conscription work got off to a perfect start, and the 1,200 places were full.

In the evening, E Si held the roster and reported to Yang Meng, talking about the specialties of each soldier.

Yang Meng was eating the money and fierce fish while listening to the report of Hu Si. But he was also very satisfied with what he heard, the navy, of course, you have to be good at sea sports, these soldiers look very good, all of them have a good level, and they all have specialties.

When this arrives at sea, won't he become the grandson monkey of the Dragon Palace? When the time comes, the artillery technology will be taught, and this group of rabbit cubs will really be able to compare with the European powers.

"Fourth, after the recruits enter the camp tomorrow, it is still the old rule, and the settling-in allowance will be paid at one time, in case someone dies, their families can also get some comfort, as for the amount, each person will give 500 taels of silver, fighting at sea, more dangerous and hard, this money, can not be picked."

Yang Meng then said.

E Siying said: "The generalissimo is thinking very much, now that there are soldiers, it is necessary to vigorously build heavy artillery ships, and the last general suggested that fishing boats be recruited first, so that these rabbit cubs can practice first, and when we wait for our heavy artillery giant ships to be built, they will already be able to fight skillfully at sea." ”

"This is okay, the black dragon brought a lot of muskets and artillery from Changbai Mountain this time, let these rabbit cubs practice first." However, it takes professional craftsmen to build this big ship, and Ben Shuai is worried that they can't build it. Yang Meng said.

The warships currently used in the Qing Dynasty are all gadgets, and compared with the 5,000-ton ships, there is really a big gap, which requires more stringent requirements in terms of technology.

A small error may undo the previous work.

More than a dozen craftsmen brought from the Ministry of Industry have already started the construction of the big ship, and the drawings are being drawn, but Yang Meng demanded that the hull of the ship must be wrapped with iron armor.

These craftsmen have been studying the drawings for several days in a row, and various plans have been studied, but they still haven't been finalized, which makes Yang Meng have to worry.

E Si persuaded: "Generalissimo, there is no need to worry, the completion of the navy is definitely not something that can be done overnight, we can take our time, and build a big ship while training troops." ”

Yang Meng frowned secretly, secretly thinking that the previous expeditionary force had made good use of Hong Ren's talent, the supernatural abilities of Pothos, Mei Niang, Panpan and Black Dragon, by the way, Black Dragon, where did this kid go?

Yang Meng suddenly remembered the black dragon, since he came to Minyue, the black dragon has run into the water, the river here is bigger than the Tianchi, the black dragon is probably a little happy, and he has a lot of fun in the water.

"Fourth, go find the black dragon and see what this guy is doing?" Yang Meng commanded.

After Hu Si received the order, he went out to find the black dragon.
