The waters near Goryeo, Tamna, and Yongduam primary shipbuilding plants.

There are 104 left posts in the middle camp of the Hunan Army, with the sentry officer Peng Yushu; there are 104 outposts in the Kaizi Camp of the Huai Army, with the sentry officer Cheng Xuerui; there are 45 artillery posts in the Hunan Army, with the sentry officer Yang Dafu; the elite Taiping Army There are one hundred and four swordsmen, and Wei Jun is the temporary commander. The system's upgrade reward for Kang Lin this time included 353 elite soldiers, of which 70% were long-range shooters, while only 30% were melee infantrymen!

It can be seen that with the changes of the times, gunpowder weapons are slowly replacing cold weapons, especially with the advent of bayonets. In the future, Conlin's troops will be equipped with a large number of flintlocks and miniguns with sleeved bayonets. As for cold weapons, from now on it is estimated that they will most likely be reduced to ceremonial weapons or secondary weapons to decorate the appearance!

What will the iteration of weapons bring? It will bring about innovations in tactics and tactics! Kanglin took his new subordinates on board the ship for sea exercises this time, and he never failed to test the latter's combat effectiveness. If the latter's organization is more suitable for large-scale firearms operations, then Kanglin will probably reorganize his soldiers as appropriate. !

After all, it is no longer an era when you can conquer the world with matchlocks, broadswords and spears. Qi Jiajun's tactics are probably not suitable for the current battle mode. Don't you see the wisdom of Zeng Disheng, Li Shaoquan, Zuo Jigao Furthermore, it is only after improvement and optimization based on the Qi Family Army that we can build an elite army that is sure to win in battle and conquer in every attack! And if they can do it, there's no reason why they can't do it on their own side!

However, no matter what the results of today's drill are, the guard posts in the Hunan-Huai Army must be resolutely disbanded or reorganized! Think about it, a full infantry battalion can only have a few generals and only 500 soldiers, so it dares to equip the battalion officer with a personal guard sentry of 72 people, and the weapons used are the best among all the sentries. ! Isn't this a disguised form of encouragement for officers to raise private soldiers? In the long run, if there is no intervention, the warlord phenomenon will inevitably arise among the Chiyang armies! And this is not what Leader Kanglin Kangda, who is short of capital but wants to dominate the world, wants to see! Therefore, it is necessary to formulate an improvement and optimization plan based on the specific performance of the Hunan Army and the Huai Army in actual combat, so as to avoid the emergence of a warlord force similar to Beiyang in the future!

"Everyone, since you have joined me in Chiyang, from now on we are brothers who are as close as one family. I don't care what grudges you had in the past, and I don't care whether you were officers, soldiers or rebels! Let's start from now on. Let me be the peacemaker. Please put aside your hatred for each other temporarily and work together to contribute every bit of your strength to the development of Chiyang!

After all, the era we are living in now is the Ming Dynasty, not the Qing Dynasty, and the place we are in is Jeju in Goryeo, not Jianghuai in China! Therefore, apart from being loyal to me, there is no other force that is more worthy of your allegiance! If you don’t believe it, let me give you a brief introduction to the various forces around us. Let’s talk about the Manchus first. The Jurchens are now ruled by Tiancong Khan Jierharang. If you go, you will not be directly slaughtered by them. If you don't, you will be reduced to a slave-like Aha wrapper;

Next is the Ming Dynasty. This Ming Dynasty is not the Ming Dynasty in our history. It is not very friendly to outsiders, especially the Tuanlian brothers under the two sentry officers Peng Cheng. Your pigtails are the original sin. If you are encountered by their army, you will definitely be killed. I will mobilize the army as soon as possible to kill you all! After all, your heads can be worth a lot of money if they are taken to the capital, and those miserable camp guards will never let them go if they encounter them!

And you, Wei Guozong, you and your brothers should not laugh at the brothers of the Hunan Army and the Huai Army! Because if you were dressed like this, in the Ming Dynasty, you would be regarded as rebellious officials and traitors and be wiped out! Don’t believe it. If you really implement the tactics of King Hong Tian in this era, you will probably be regarded as a cult in a matter of minutes. After knocking down Pi Shao, they will step on your corpse ten thousand times. !

It is strictly forbidden for believers to worship their ancestors, it is strictly forbidden for men and women to meet, and they also demolish temples and schools everywhere. Why don't you burn books and humiliate Confucians? You forgot who you really are with a crooked book written by a foreigner. No wonder you had hundreds of thousands of troops at your peak, and you couldn't accomplish anything even if you occupied six or seven provinces! That is to say, I, the great leader of Chiyang, am willing to sincerely accept you. If others would just dig a hole and bury you! Officials and citizens are equal, so why do the princes and prime ministers always carry eight-carriage sedans when they come in and out? They are all dressed in silk and satin, and they eat and drink with delicacies.

It smells bad, but the common people can only eat grass roots while wearing cloth clothes. How can this show that the government and the people are equal?

Let’s talk about the policy of separate camps for men and women. Since ancient times, men have been gan and women have been kun. Only by harmonizing yin and yang can the country be peaceful and the people be safe! But look at your Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Men and women must live in separate camps, and couples are not allowed to meet. Anyone who violates this will be beheaded and light lanterns in the sky. What kind of logic is this? If you have the ability, you can ask your princes, prime ministers and other high-ranking officials to separate men and women into camps like the common people. There are seventy-two concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards. Even the emperor of the Qing Dynasty has no shame in them. Just think about it. Sweeping the world, bah!

Let’s talk about Goryeo. Although this country is poor and weak, it is not something you can compete with with just two or three hundred people! If you rashly land on its territory, within two or three months, there will be a large number of imperial camps and trained military supervisors to suppress you! You must know that these two armies are new armies established after the Imjin Japanese Rebellion in Goryeo and imitated the Qi family army of the Ming Dynasty. Their combat effectiveness has been maintained well and they have not been completely corrupted. If you really encounter them, you probably won't get much from them! Therefore, the only one who can protect you now is our Chiyang family!

Because we are also outsiders, outsiders who are not truly accepted by the indigenous forces of this world just like you! The difference is that we have tens of thousands of people and thousands of troops silently supporting us. At the same time, we also took over the Korean island of Jeju as our base! So we are able and willing to accept you! Come, come, come, join us quickly. As long as you are willing to join us sincerely, we Chiyang will definitely not treat you badly in the future. You will enjoy the same treatment as the immigrants and soldiers who came in advance. If you make a decision in the future For his military exploits, he was rewarded with gold, silver, jewels, fertile land, beautiful women, and official positions! Okay, I've been talking for so long, now you should show off your skills and let me, the leader, see how powerful you are..."

In just a few words, Kang Lin, the strongest talker on the surface, temporarily suppressed the conflict between the two sides. Then in order to let these elite soldiers enter their roles as soon as possible, this guy immediately They were ordered to board the old lock ships and military rice boats, which were quietly moored in the harbor, fully armed! Next, the next step is the traditional repertoire of the Chiyang Navy, the new ship goes out for sea trials!

Of course, the top management of Chiyang, who live a careful life, will not just sit back and watch their sailboats go out to sea for trial trials without a load. During this time, the merchants under Mr. Cui Mingji, Cui Mingji, were in a hurry to rush for goods, so Kang Lin prepared to use these four warships. Ship to transport some in-demand goods to the mainland of Korea in exchange for various materials urgently needed for team development! At that time, he will not only test the skills of his new subordinates, but also transport the in-demand commodities to Gimpo, thereby exchanging the gold, silver, rice grain, wood and various minerals that he urgently needs for the development of his power! It is simply killing two birds with one stone, a great deal! During this period, if we can capture one or two lone Ming or Japanese merchant ships, the profits will be even greater. Maybe we can earn back all the expenses of our fleet's voyage this time just by robbery!

Yes, you read that right. Although Kang Lin opened the small coal mine and micro iron ore cards when he opened the treasure box, they are the core strategic reserve materials of Chiyang. It is okay to mine them in small quantities for production. If it is mined on a large scale, it will be somewhat out of date! After all, Jeju is surrounded by the sea, and its communication with the outside world relies entirely on shipping. If the Koreans get sick one day and send a large fleet to sea to blockade their own side, those coal and iron mines hidden in Nanshan Mountain will be of great use! Therefore, a small part of the coal and iron currently needed by the Blacksmiths United Workshop is produced by itself, and most of it is coarse coal and iron ore purchased from Goryeo! Although the latter needs to go through several processes before it can be used to smelt coke and smelt iron, there is no need to use our own precious reserve materials to smelt iron and steel, right...

"Captain Peng, Captain Wu, you two immediately lead your troops to board the long boat and prepare to raise the sails. Captain Liu, Captain Li, and Captain Sun, you lead your troops to board the longship and prepare to raise the sails. Everyone, please be more energetic. Let the commander-in-chief see if the methods of our Hunan and Huai army brothers are stronger than those of those God-worshipping Ermaozi!"

Closer to home, after receiving the order from his new boss, Peng Yushu immediately commanded more than a hundred Hunan soldiers under his command to board the old lock ship and military rice boat, and began to operate the latter with familiarity! They first yelled and turned the windlass to drag the four-legged iron anchor weighing dozens or hundreds of kilograms out of the sea water; then they tried their best to lift it.

Turning the winch, they slowly raised the heavy hard sail on the ship, first a quarter sail, then a third sail, and finally a half sail. These experienced sailors did not wait until they left the harbor and entered the blue waters. After the deep water area, all the hard sails on the ship were raised, trying to catch the sea wind around the ship, and then push the heavy ship under its feet to continue moving towards the distant sea;

As for those Shui Yong leaders who are extremely experienced in sailing, they enter the wheelhouse at the stern of the ship and start to get busy as soon as they get on the ship. They often have to constantly adjust the rudder in their hands based on the reports of the observers, so that the ship can flexibly turn to the left. , move to the right, and avoid various obstacles in the water! In fact, rice boats and old lock boats are nothing new in their eyes. After all, aren't they just the red single boats and upgraded civilian rice boats of the Guangdong Navy? They are not without them in the Hunan Navy. Seen it before! Therefore, with the full cooperation of the sailors of the Hunan Army, the four large and small warships of the temporary fleet raised their high sails, constantly using the strong sea breeze to plow open the blue water, and sailed quickly to the distant sea!
