Chapter 139 Offshore Military Training
An order from Wei Ming kept Wang Zunde busy.Programming a navy is no easy task.See clearly, what people want is the navy, not the navy in the bathtub.Originally, Wang Zunde wanted to go to Dongting Lake to organize and train sailors, but Wei Ming scolded him bloody.Dongting Lake is not small, but can it be compared with the sea?The sailors trained in Dongting Lake guessed that they went into the sea and were directly beaten back by a wave, so how can they destroy the pirates?But now it is indeed difficult for these sailors to go to sea for military training.Things need to be done step by step. It is unrealistic to eat a fat man with one bite and dig a well with one chisel.Let's practice near the sea first, and go deep into the sea step by step.When you can gain a firm foothold on the sea, you will be considered qualified.The rest is to fight on the sea, that is the next thing to consider, let's talk about it later.

Of course, all the sailors who have some background in the coastal waters are trained.Taking the Yangtze River, the navy in each of the big lakes was mobilized to make up two hundred warships.You know, at the peak of the early Ming Dynasty, there were more than 500 warships, and now, even a decent chart can't be found.The only nautical chart that can be seen is the one that Zheng He thought was poorly drawn and was discarded among the people.Speaking of this matter, Wei Ming wanted to dig out the old bastard Liu Daxia (remember the name) from the grave and whip his corpse.It was he who burned all the sea materials brought back by Zheng He when he was a doctor in the Ministry of War.You have nothing to do. Burn your house down, and no one else will say anything. Why did you burn such a precious thing?First place in the homecoming test?The country's education taught you such a bastard?Just think about it and get angry.When Zheng He was here, it was true that all nations came to court.Now, hum, let me play with a hard-boiled egg for you.

"Only 60 meters?" Wei Ming looked at the boat in front of him and said incredulously.Is this the largest ship in the Ming Dynasty now?
Wang Zunde rubbed his hands, and said embarrassingly: "Master Jinglue, this is the largest ship that can be found, how about you take it as your flagship?"

"Get out! Let me tell you, if you don't build a treasure ship, you won't be safe for a day. Where's the governor of Fujian? Let him come over for me!" I didn't know if I didn't see it.Not only are there fewer ships, but there are also fewer sailors.In this way, what kind of naval battle do you still have?

After a while, Nan Juyi, governor of Fujian, ran over.The old man was supposed to enjoy Qingfu in Xichuan Xiyuan this year.But there is no way.Who made Wei Ming uneasy and wanted to open the sea ban?As soon as the old man returned home, he was summoned out again to be the governor of Fujian Province. He came here out of breath, obeying the command of Wei Ming, a half-baby.This is Zhu Youxiao's second helper for Wei Ming.

"I don't know what orders Mr. Jinglue has for summoning the subordinates?" Although the old gentleman was exhausted, his manners did not diminish at all.

"Old man, is the Fujian Navy Guard fully staffed?" Wei Ming asked.

"Returning to Mr. Jinglue's words, six out of ten are missing." Nan Juyi replied without any hesitation.It's all about these things these days.When will it be better not to report now?Anyway, I just came up, and the previous things have nothing to do with me.Report now, Wei Ming will not do anything to him.But if you report later, things will explode.Missing six out of ten?What about people?What about the military pay and rations sent out?You embezzled construction funds, if it is not serious, maybe you can spare your life.But if what you are embezzling is military pay, then things will explode.You are digging the corner of the country, the moth of the society, and the ant nest on the dam.When literati get a little angry, they usually write articles and swear at others, even if it's over.If the army gets angry, hehe, if you don't hack you to death, you will be considered strong.

Wei Ming nodded. This kind of situation is common, not only in Fujian, but also in other places.Basically every guard has them.Otherwise, how can you come to pay for nothing?There are 600 people in a guard who died, and the money and food distributed are also fixed.If so many people come to collect their wages, it's embarrassing!The monthly salary of one person is one stone, not much, but the monthly salary of thousands of people is much!What if it takes a long time?That is an astronomical sum.Who doesn't want it?Furthermore, even if they are not oppressed, no one wants to be a soldier.Why?First of all, the money is given less.When the grain harvest is bumper, one tael and four stone taels, let’s say one tael of silver is 1000 yuan, who will give you 250 yuan a month?Furthermore, the status is low.The Ming Dynasty implemented the Weisuo system, which is similar to the meaning of Fubing.Those who serve as soldiers are military households.The type of household registration is a military household. That’s fine. If you want to retire, that’s fine. Find a successor and continue to serve as a soldier.Unless your whole family is wiped out, it's over.After the number of people is reduced, the criminals are brought over to serve as soldiers. This is called exile.Think about it, being a soldier has become a kind of punishment. He is sent to the profession after committing a crime. Can he have a high status?Regardless of whether you used to be a military household or were exiled and became a military household later, as soon as you see a soldier, others will point at you, and occasionally you can hear the conversation of "Look, that's a criminal." , who wants to be a soldier?Also, to be a soldier is to leave the country of origin. Basically, the farther away the better, it is no different from being dispatched.In order to prevent escape.I have to take my family with me, at least my wife, so that I can continue to serve as a soldier in order to have children in the future.The tradition of the Chinese people is that the homeland is hard to leave.It's fine if you don't go home to visit your relatives on vacation, but you have to travel across mountains and rivers to serve as a soldier in a completely strange place?Go crazy!This also caused too many deserters.There is a gap, which has become a very normal thing.

"Okay, you go back first, let's hold a military meeting tonight." After thinking for a long time, Wei Ming said.This matter is a problem that must be solved first.Whether the warship is big or small, good or bad, will only be verified when it is fought.But if you don't even have soldiers, then everything becomes empty talk.War still needs people to fight, doesn't it?Even in the previous life, you can launch missiles to fight with the push of a button, you still have to have a push button, right?

"Your official will resign." Nan Juyi ran away in a jerk.Wei Ming found that since he started to vigorously develop the navy, these governors have all developed the ability to shoot small guns.No matter when you come or go back, you always run.What's more, they are galloping back and forth.

Standing on a big rock, facing the sea breeze, I originally wanted to make a famous poem through the ages to lament the world and express my depression, but no matter how much I poured the ink in my heart, I couldn’t get it out. poem.And the current sea breeze is still very hard, and I sneezed several times without blowing twice.Forget it, let's go back early and think about what to say at the military meeting tonight.The weather was gloomy, as if it was going to snow.Seeing that it is about to enter November, the first snow should be coming soon.In this kind of time when there will be snow in June, it is too common to have snow in October.

Before it was dark, it began to snow heavily.It seems that the training of the navy has to stop.In such a cold weather, if you still have to train again, it will really be murder for money.Wei Ming had never been to Guangzhou in his previous life, but now that he is here, it is snowing so heavily.It's really unstoppable.

Knowing that there was a military meeting, the big guy ran over after dinner.He Shijin, governor of Guangxi, was also summoned by Wei Ming.Originally, he would become the governor next year, but he was appointed as the governor of Guangxi a year earlier, which can be regarded as a little bonus given to him by Wei Ming.The biggest purpose of calling him is Guangxi poor.There is no way, there are many mountains, the transportation is inconvenient, and the life of the people in Guangxi and Guizhou was also very hard in the previous life, let alone now.The better the place, the fewer people wanting to be soldiers.But if it is a poor place, just give a bowl of rice to eat.It should be much easier to recruit soldiers from here.

Officials in fur coats entered the big tent one after another.In fact, Wei Ming just wanted to experience the feeling of being a big tent general.When I used to watch TV, I always felt that this must be very cool.But now he regrets it.I don't think it's cool, but it's definitely cold.

Seeing that it was almost time for people to come, Wei Ming stood up, and all the officials quickly stood up and saluted Wei Ming in unison.
