Shamen, Tuoji Island.
"You heard me clearly, this matter involves the lives of dozens of people, don't make any mistake..." In the signing room on the second floor of the town center, Kang Lin, who was wearing a silk robe, was sitting behind the Huanghuali Gongan, seriously Listening to the ninja Suzuki Kojiro reporting the information he had found out, he honestly did not expect that the latter could find out any useful information so quickly. After all, the Red Army including the leader's personal entourage, elite flag troops, and ordinary flag troops There are more than a thousand people in the Yang tribe. As an outsider, it is good that he can successfully blend into the crowd without being discovered. How can we expect him to obtain any useful information in a short time? However, what is unexpected is that he did When it arrived, it only took less than half a day for Suzuki Kojiro to hand in a satisfactory answer sheet to the Kanglin Kangda Hundred Households. In addition to Wang Qing's group who conspired to cause trouble, someone from Suzuki also managed to find several hidden people. Being a rat in the flag army, Kang Lin was very satisfied with his work ability. It's a pity that the ninja experience card didn't last long, otherwise this guy would be even more satisfied!
"Sir Kamikuni, please believe in the villain's ability. If there is any mistake, Suzuki is willing to come forward and see you!" Unequivocally, Suzuki Kojiro's stuttering Chinese was filled with strong confidence. He is the best ninja in the genre. For him, gathering some information is just as easy and relaxing as eating and drinking water. Not to mention that these people have no sense of confidentiality at all. They are all big mouths, and they don't even understand things that are going to make them lose their heads, such as rebelling. He generously invites people to join his team. If he can't find out any more information, he will really be sorry for his status as a ninja!
"Well, you go back and continue to keep an eye on that Wang Qing. I will send someone to 'help' them get some weapons in the cache..." If you want to kill someone, you must first make them crazy! Kang Lin, who came from another world, knew very well that if he wanted to force out the restless elements hidden within the team, he would have to pay a certain price. He said he was reluctant to let go of his children, so he signaled Suzuki Kojiro to continue to monitor Wang Qing and his group. He himself sent his confidants to provide "convenience" for the former to smuggle weapons.
"Mr. Lin, Mr. Yang (Note) It's nearly a thousand miles by sea to go to Incheon, Goryeo. Kang needs a lot of help from the two of you. Come, come, and be seated. It's auspicious. Why don't you hurry up and serve tea to these two gentlemen!" Watching Suzuki Kojiro sneak out of the center of the town and disappear into the busy crowd, Kang Lin put away the relaxed and carefree expression on his face and ordered two senior officials, Lin Ashui and Yang Liancheng, to be invited from the conference room next door to the signing room. He wanted to use the abilities of these two people to help him perfect the details of the expedition to Goryeo.
Lin Ashui, needless to say too much, is a captain with rich sailing experience. The key is Yang Liancheng, who studied ship repairing and cannon building in Fujian Shipbuilding School and France. He is a famous manufacturing expert in modern my country. Kang Lin Although this person's experience card was only opened from the treasure box, it was enough to make him smile from ear to ear with joy! What does this guy lack now? Ships that can be used for combat, or men who dare to fight and kill. No, no, no, what Master Baihu lacks now is talents, talents who can help him complete his plan to expedition to Korea! What, you said that Yang Liancheng is just an intellectual and is of no help to the expedition plan? Please, can you understand the charts? Can you do the homework on the charts? You don’t understand anything, you don’t know anything, and you still dare to speak so brazenly here, Is it true that the leader's military law is just a show-off?
In view of this, Kang Lincai highly praised this person and treated him with great courtesy. Even the specially recruited Captain Lin Ashui also enjoyed the Zhuge Liang treatment! Okay, no more gossiping, let’s get down to business! It is said that after Ji Xiang came up to serve tea to the three of them, Yan Si, Fan Huzi, Zheng Nansheng, Wang Tang, Gu Wenlai, Lin Wu, Wu Fang, Qin Lin, Luo Meng, Yan Xiaosong, Chang Jiansheng and other officers and civilians filed in. After entering Kanglin's pledge room, everyone sat down as guests and hosts, and today's topic began.
First, Kang Lin introduced Lin and Yang to his subordinates, and then Lin and Yang stood up to demonstrate their strengths to everyone. The difference was that Lin Ashui focused on navigation. analysis, while Yang Liancheng, who was wearing a pair of tortoiseshell glasses, focused on the drawing of nautical charts and the use of the navigation survey tool quadrant. At this moment, all the officers and civilians under Kang Lin listened carefully. They were not sticklers. They are pedantic people who are very hungry for new knowledge. Especially after they learned that the teacher Yang Liancheng who taught them could only exist in this world for twelve hours, everyone mustered up their energy to learn. ! At this time, no one doubted Yang Liancheng's skills anymore, especially after he taught many shipping managers how to draw nautical charts, how to read maps drawn by Westerners, and demonstrated on the spot how to use various navigation tools. , the infantry officers almost worshiped him as a god!
Don't think that people in the Ming and Qing dynasties were fools who didn't understand anything. On the contrary, they knew the importance of knowledge. Otherwise, where did the wise saying "Everything is inferior, only reading is good" come from? Although what you are teaching is not the righteousness of a saint, in the eyes of these old sea dogs, it is worth more than gold. If you don’t have a master, your life will be rough and miserable at most. But if you don’t have enough knowledge reserves to go to sea, then it’s not It's almost, it's a bit tougher, a big wave might come and the boat and people may be wiped out! Therefore, they are studying so seriously and hard today. Unfortunately, these people's foundation is too poor. Most of them couldn't even write their own names before. Now they are struggling to learn at the last minute! And this also made Kang Lin secretly make up his mind. When he has a solid foundation, he will go to the mainland to gather a group of teenagers and come back to educate them from an early age. For these people, it is better to let them do their own business, fighting and killing!
"Everyone, time is limited. That's all for today. You can try out these navigation tools. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me at any time..." He gently put down the ancient and primitive navigation tools in his hands, and Yang Liancheng paired up The senses of this group of people can no longer be described as complex. They are obviously a group of old sea wolves with rich experience in sailing, but they can't even use an astrolabe, sextant, chart, or ruler. They can't read. It's really unbelievable. Knowing how they determined their location on the sea, it’s no wonder that when going to Goryeo, they have to walk along the ancient needle road, stopping along the way. They dare not sail directly to Incheon, which is just around the corner. It’s a shame that they came here themselves, otherwise they still don’t know How much energy and time will it take to reach Goryeo and start the expedition! To be honest, this is me. If other students come, they may not use astrolabe and other things that will be consigned to the garbage dump of history. After all, in my own era, magnetic compasses, sextants, and navigation have been widely used. Now that the clock has come to help the steamship sail, who will still use an astrolabe or a right angle instrument?
"Okay, Mr. Yang!" The theoretical education time is over, and then comes the practical time! After Yang Liancheng briefly explained how to use the astrolabe, sextant, and navigation clock, he began to teach Chiyang's shipmasters how to read navigation charts and how to carry out subsequent operations on the charts. Everyone, including the newly recruited Captain Lin Asui gathered around him and watched the former drawing with pencil on a chart. Soon, the nearest route starting from Penglai, passing through Chengshanwei, and heading east to Incheon, Korea, was discovered by this guy. After marking it on the chart, it was the turn of Chiyang's crew chief to take action. The difference is that they don't have precious nautical charts to waste. The attentive Kang Lin has ordered Yan Xiaosong and Chang Jiansheng, who are good at painting, to copy several nautical maps for them to practice!
"My lord, the fifty gunners, fifty cold soldiers, and twenty gunners who will accompany you this time have been selected and can board the ship at any time. As for the ship, I need to ask Mr. Liu to talk about it. Come on!" Leaving aside the Chiyang officers who were studying hard in the chief's custody room, Kang Lin took the infantry commander, er, no, it was the infantry commander Fan Huzhu, and the fleet chief Liu Laoliu alone went to the highest point in the town center to have a look. As soon as the three old smokers arrived at the tower above the main entrance, they eagerly took out their pipes and started puffing away. Previously, they couldn't smoke in the signing room because of the narrow space, but they were exhausted, and here they were. , the place is open and the air is fresh. No matter how you smoke, it will not affect other people. Therefore, while they were discussing matters, they also played the pipes in their hands in a familiar manner. Liu Laoliu, an old smoker, even took his pipe from his leader regardless of his own health.
"My lord, my lord, this time you go to Korea, our navy has prepared a sentry ship with 400 materials for you to serve as the general ship. In addition, there is also a Haicang ship with 300 materials and two bird ships with 200 materials. As well as three large and small sand ships, they are all warships purchased by the lord from the Donghai camp. These ships have been inspected by personnel. The main bodies are intact. They have been carefully repaired and maintained recently. There should be no problems when using them. Question. Chief, uh no, my lord, you can ride on them to go to Korea at any time!" In the smoke, Kang Lin learned through his chief manager that the Zhujiawan Ming Army had completed the repairs and maintenance of all the ships it ordered and sent someone to deliver them. When we arrived at Shaihuo Island, they were staying quietly in Dakou Bay, waiting for me to take them to the sea and regain their former glory!
"Not enough. Seven ships are not enough to support my expedition. Let's add the big centipede ship to the list of the expedition fleet. In addition, send people to the East China Sea and ask my sworn brother Liu Chongqi to meet the commander Zhiweng immediately. , let him help me run the relationship, no matter how much money is spent, he must transfer the fleet owned by Qianhu of the Donghai Navy to our place to help us stabilize the situation!" After thinking about it again and again, Kang Lin felt that he still had to rely on his own weak points. It was necessary to add a layer of insurance to the defensive strength. Therefore, he paid attention to the Donghaiwei Navy ships that were waiting to become moldy and rotten in the harbor. Although their strength was weak, they represented the Ming Dynasty after all. Generally speaking, they represented the Ming Dynasty. The forces really didn't dare to openly attack the port where the imperial navy was stationed, so they invited them to temporarily stay in Tuoji, giving Chiyang the best cover!
