"The Shihe bandits are so strong that it seems that a frontal attack is impossible. Let's ignore them for now. Now I need to see the level of skilled sailors of your two families." Luo Xingchen glanced at the two of them.

"There are more than [-] sailors in Zhanlongzhai. Most of them have gathered at the teaching ground in the town guard mansion, and some of them are staying in the village. Admiral, your gunboat has already gone to fill people." Lu Zhanlong said.

Luo Xingchen nodded, then turned his gaze to Xiong Liangxiao and said: "The fleet of the Wang Family Water Village, the elite sailors must arrive at the Grand Teaching Ground of the Town Guard Mansion within three days. If they can't come, the Wang Family Water Village is the enemy of the Guard Mansion."

Xiong Liangxiao thumped in his heart, this time he was really serious.

Fortunately, the elite sailors are directly under the village owner, and he can transfer them with the village owner's warrant, and the village owner Wang Meihua sent him the letter with the village owner's warrant.

Xiong Liangxiao suddenly stood up, and hurriedly said: "Admiral, then I will go back to Wang's water village to mobilize the sailors, and Song Chen will stay in the town guard mansion to communicate."

"Okay, go back with the transfer order, and I'll send someone to take you back to the water village." Luo Xingchen said.

After Xiong Liangxiao left, Luo Xingchen set his sights on Lu Zhanlong again.

"Lu Zhanlong, now appoint you as the captain of the Wuchao Lake Navy, are you willing?" Luo Xingchen took out a letter of appointment.

"Your subordinate obeys orders." Lu Zhanlong was overjoyed, and finally appointed a formal official position.

Even though the official position of Captain of the Navy is not high enough, but in the Wuchao Lake Township Mansion, the top five figures are properly established. After all, the Township Mansion is newly built, and a lot of waste is waiting to be done.

"Lieutenant Lu, the Stone River Bandit supports more than 500 boats and thousands of people. There is something famous here." Luo Xingchen narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cold light flashed across his eyes.

"Admiral, my subordinates know something about the tricks here. The Shihe bandit has my internal support in Zhanlongzhai." Lu Zhanlong said bluntly.

"Where do they get their money, food and weapons?" Luo Xingchen raised his eyes and asked.

"It has something to do with a company called the Four Seas Trading Company. They set off from a hidden port on a large ship, and transport a large amount of supplies there every once in a while. In addition, the Stone River Pirates will not snatch the merchant ships of the Four Seas Trading Company... The fleet of the Four Seas Trading Company is now almost It is the only fleet that will not be robbed by Shihe bandits." Lu Zhanlong said.

"Sihai Commercial Bank? It is rumored that it has something to do with the four major families in the south. Maybe it is not good to say that it was founded by the four major families."

Luo Xingchen got up and paced around. He still knew something about the Four Seas Trading Company. It was similar to Yang's Trading Company. It was a huge chamber of commerce, and there were a lot of powerful people involved with this chamber of commerce.

North Yang family, South four seas, this is a popular saying in many wealthy circles.

"Let's think about it in the long run, we'll go to investigate after the town guard's mansion..." Luo Xingchen said sideways.

"Lieutenant Lu, now let's go to the Dajiaochang to see your sons and daughters, how capable are you?" Luo Xingchen said.

Feng Sheng pressed his sword and followed behind him. This time he met Lu Zhanlong. This man is extremely brave. Just in case, he is personally serving as the guard today, otherwise he would not be free due to his busy schedule.

The large teaching field is located at the back of the tutelary mansion. It is a huge newly opened field, and many equipments for training have been arranged on it.

"One two, one two!"

A team of sailors, a hundred in total, was already jogging on the runway.

This is training according to the training system established by Luo Xingchen.

Half of Luo Xingchen's military training system was taught by Grandpa Wu Wang, and the other half was taught by his mother Yang Ruoqing.

Luo Xingchen combined the two together, took the method that was most suitable for the current situation, and finally worked out the training method for sailors and pawns.

"Admiral, the soldiers of Zhanlongzhai are waiting over there." Lu Zhanlong said.

Luo Xingchen retracted his gaze and looked at the two hundred Zhanlongzhai sailors standing to the side.

They were all barefoot, and their skin was bronzed, with a hint of dark luster. This was the change in the skin after being exposed to the sun for a long time.

At least it shows that this group of people have been living on the ship for a long time, and they have a good foundation.

"Not bad, the foundation is good, but there is still a gap compared with my soldiers." Luo Xingchen smiled slightly.

Lu Zhanlong hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Admiral, the sailors in Zhanlongzhai have been trained for several years or even ten years, and they often fight big and small battles."

"It doesn't mean that an old soldier for many years must be an opponent of a new soldier. If you can't, give it a try." The corners of Luo Xingchen's lips rose.

"Okay, let's have a try." Lu Zhanlong nodded. He felt very depressed. He lost to the court navy. He always thought it should be a problem with gunboats. How could it be possible that those who were on the water were not opponents of the new recruits of the Navy.

"It's not interesting just to compete, we have to win some prizes."

Luo Xingchen said confidently with his hands behind his back.

"Admiral, our Zhanlong village has already been annexed, and I don't have anything good about me, so I can't make a decent bet." Lu Zhanlong smiled embarrassedly.

Lu Zhanlong was also very helpless, in the past, he could have taken out a pile of gold and silver treasures, but now Zhanlong Village is considered deserted, and Luo Xingchen sent people to evacuate all the property in the village.

Except for a few sets of clothes and a meager amount of silver, where does he have any valuables?

"As for property, don't worry, the tutelary mansion is only temporarily borrowing from you, and all your property is registered in the register, and will be returned to you in the same amount in the future... Besides, I am not a stingy person, and I will work with this admiral to get promoted and get rich Nothing less..." Luo Xingchen said with a smile.

"The admiral is naturally magnanimous, and the subordinates can only admire it." Lu Zhanlong made a plan without any trace.

However, Luo Xingchen knew that Lu Zhanlong might not believe his words in his heart. After all, the officials of Daqi, under normal circumstances, would spit out what they ate.

But he will not be like the general bureaucrats of Daqi, otherwise why would he come to Wuchao Lake? Could it be that he came here to make money.

"Admiral, what are you going to bet on?" Lu Zhanlong asked cautiously.

He is a little in awe of Luo Xingchen now, even though Luo Xingchen is young, he doesn't know why, and he looks a little scared.

Maybe it was bombarded by the gunboat, at least that's what Lu Zhanlong thought in his heart.

"The lottery, it's very simple. If you lose, you have to enter the Martial Arts Academy. Your subordinates must train with my soldiers. If I lose, I will let you lead the army independently, and all my soldiers will be handed over to you." Training." Luo Xingchen raised his eyebrows.

"Admiral, this subordinate has agreed." Lu Zhanlong said happily.He still has great confidence in his sailors. Anyway, he is fighting with wooden weapons, which are similar to normal weapons, so he has nothing to fear.
