A cliff as sharp as an axe stood in front of him. The dark seawater seemed like the open mouth of a shark. The strong smell of the sea came to his face. With a stone weighing ten kilograms tied to his body, Qiao Mingjun felt that his eyes were flashing with gold.

Hua, her body gradually began to collapse, and she no longer had the strength to swim towards the seaside cliff.

This is the training of frogmen of the Denglai Navy. The frogmen of the Denglai Navy are equivalent to the most elite scouts in Denglai's new army. The frogmen undergo devilish training, and a qualified frogman,

For navy, it is a rare treasure. They can launch raids on ships from the bottom of the water. They can also sneak into the opponent's warships, start a fight, and even seize the ship.

Qiao Mingjun is the admiral of the Denglai New Army. He does not need to participate in the training of frogmen at all. However, the confident Qiao Mingjun believes that he used to be the leader of the Water Transport Gang and is familiar with water. He can survive the training of frogmen.

And from the perspective of establishing prestige in the military, Qiao Mingjun must also participate in all training and demonstrate his abilities. However, the training weights he carries are still different from those of real frogmen. When the frogmen of the Denglai New Army were training, they carried

It is at least thirty kilograms of stone.

After spitting out the salty and bitter sea water in his mouth, Qiao Mingjun opened his eyes wide and tried his best to swim towards the cliff ahead. Following him were ten frogmen who stopped training to protect him.

The body is gradually stiffening, and the climate at the end of the first month is still cold. Although the cold wind is not so biting, the sergeants on the shore still need to wear thick cotton jackets.

This is a real devil's training. Qiao Mingjun was able to jump into the sea to train in such a cold climate. He has already demonstrated his extraordinary ability, which is admired by all the navy sergeants, including the frogmen around him.

The buoyancy of the sea water and the instinctive sliding of his arms brought Qiao Mingjun finally close to the cliff.

The next task is to climb up the cliff to the coast, and the training is all over.

The frogmen's diving suits at this time were certainly not as good as those hundreds of years later. The frogmen's winter training consisted of a layer of mink fur close to the body and a layer of waterproof asbestos clothing on the outside. This was mainly to prevent being

It's freezing. As for summer, frogmen don't wear any clothes when they go into the water.

Climbing the cliff is the beginning of another devil's training. The cliffs on the seaside have been washed and soaked by sea water for a long time, and have become extremely smooth and difficult to stand firmly. In many places in the middle of the cliff, the stones are exposed and sharp.

It is so hard that if you are not careful when climbing, you may cut your fingers and palms.

Qiao Mingjun's body was leaning against the cliff, his eyes wide open and he was gasping for air. He had already taken off the heavy asbestos suit that was as heavy as a stone, and got rid of the deadly stone on his back. A cold wind blew.

, his body began to tremble, and a large amount of heat energy in his body had disappeared with the cold wind.

You can't waste time when climbing the cliff. If your body is exposed for a long time, it will freeze quickly, and in severe cases, you will die. You must climb the cliff quickly while your body is still flexible.

A rope hangs from the cliff.

Qiao Mingjun sighed, grabbed the rope tightly, and his body was quickly pulled toward the top of the cliff...

"Sir Admiral, you are so awesome that you can participate in the training of frogmen in winter. There are thirty thousand sergeants in the Navy, of which there are less than a hundred frogmen. You are the most powerful sergeants in the navy. Many sergeants have difficulty going into the water in winter...

.”

Qiao Mingjun weakly waved his hand to the officer beside him.

"Needless to say, if you hadn't thrown down the rope just now, I wouldn't have been able to climb up at all. This frogman is really awesome. When I was in Caogang, there were frogmen in the gang, but with the navy,

They are nothing compared to the frogmen..."

"This winter training must be persisted without delay. If there are sergeants who dare not go into the water in winter, don't force it. However, the training on the warship cannot be neglected. On the bumpy warship, if you can walk on flat ground, you can

Those who stay awake enough and are able to kill the enemy bravely are the true naval officers..."

"Many of the sergeants of the Zheng family navy are pirates. They have long been accustomed to life on the sea. When facing them, our sergeants cannot just fight with passion. They must fight with passion.

Have enough skills to defeat them..."

"Training at sea, as long as it is carried out every day, can achieve the goal in a short time. This is different from riding a war horse. Intensive training can make our soldiers stronger..."

"The emperor specifically said in his decree that sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in war. Not only us officers must listen to this sentence, but the key is that all sergeants must understand its meaning and strengthen training, so that in

When fighting, you can completely defeat your opponent and save your own life..."

When he said this, Qiao Mingjun shook his head slightly. If he had not just participated in the training of frogmen, even he himself thought that it would be very simple for the Denglai New Army Navy to defeat the Zheng Family Navy. Compared with Denglai New Army Navy, it would be very simple.

The warships of the army are the most advanced warships and have the sharpest firepower. Such warships can be invincible on the sea.

But warships also need sergeants to operate them. If the quality of the naval sergeants is not good, it will be difficult for the warships to exert their maximum power. The Denglai Navy, which has powerful warships, is likely to suffer failure.

...

The medium-sized warship has sailed out to sea for nearly thirty nautical miles. The wind and waves on the sea are getting stronger and stronger, and the hull is bumping greatly.

Qiao Mingjun, who was in the command cabin, was holding the railing in front of him tightly with both hands and looking forward with wide eyes.

Waves of dizziness hit him one after another, but Qiao Mingjun still persisted desperately.

This is the training for sergeants to go to sea in which Qiao Mingjun participated. As a naval admiral, he can ride on a huge command warship, so that even if it encounters large winds and waves, the hull will not be violently bumped.

Qiao Mingjun has completely let go of the pride in his heart.

The emperor's secret letter to him specifically reminded him that as a naval admiral, one has to endure a lot of hardships. Combat at sea is different from combat on land. The requirements for officers at all levels are higher, and the requirements for naval sergeants are also very high.

Gao, if you don't want to build the most powerful navy, it's just a dawdling idea. The officers and sergeants of the navy are not that hard. As long as they can ride on warships, it is barely feasible, but Denglai Navy's opponents

He is the navy of the Zheng family. In order to win over maritime trade along the southern coast, the navy of the Zheng family often goes out to patrol and fight at sea, and has long been accustomed to the way of fighting and living at sea.

Qiao Mingjun originally thought that he was once the leader of the Cao Gang and was familiar with water, so he could be qualified for the position of naval admiral. However, after participating in the training for about half a month, he realized that he was too confident.

"Admiral, the wind and waves on the sea are too strong. The fleet must turn around and sail back, otherwise there is a risk of capsizing..."

When the officer entered the command cabin to report, his face turned pale.

Qiao Mingjun nodded feebly.

"Okay, I will handle it quickly as you said and pass on the order..."

This is the most typical change of Qiao Mingjun, and it is also what the emperor has repeatedly entrusted.

The waves at sea are huge and unpredictable. Unlike marching on land, once you encounter extremely bad weather, you must avoid it and never risk continuing to move forward. Otherwise, you are likely to encounter a shipwreck and death.

In the past, Qiao Mingjun would never have been convinced and would have given the order to continue moving forward. This was his unyielding character. However, after participating in the navy's training for more than half a month, he thought of what the emperor said in the secret letter.

After being entrusted, Qiao Mingjun became calmer. He knew very well that when encountering an irresistible force, the best way is to avoid it, otherwise it will be self-destruction.

The fleet turned around and sailed slowly towards the north. Each warship maintained close contact with each other. At this time, the most difficult task was for the messengers, who had to withstand severe bumps and still stand.

On the side of the command cabin, he waved the flag in his hand vigorously and continuously conveyed signals.

A quarter of an hour passed, the wind and waves on the sea became much smaller, and the ship's hull basically stabilized.

Qiao Mingjun's face also turned pale. At this moment, he couldn't care less about his image. He sat on the deck and gasped with his mouth wide open, trying to calm his churning stomach.

When the officer came over with the food, he had a troubled look on his face.

Qiao Mingjun turned to look at the officer and spoke weakly.

"Do you need to eat right away so that you can adapt to the rough sea..."

The officer nodded vigorously and looked at Qiao Mingjun before speaking.

"Master Governor, you don't have to be like this. If you feel uncomfortable, just rest for a while..."

Qiao Mingjun's eyes widened and a trace of blush appeared on his face.

"What are you talking about? I'm here to participate in the training. You are the supreme commander on the warship, and I have to obey your orders. All the sergeants are eating at this time. Why should I be special? If it's because I am the admiral of the Navy

, just specialize, then many officers also need to specialize..."

The officer placed the meal on the deck, his eyes slightly red.

"Lord Governor, I will eat with you..."

Qiao Mingjun nodded.

"Okay, let's have dinner together. After dinner, we have to go to the cabin to see the many officers and see how their health is. Remember, this is the duty of an officer. The emperor said that officers receive high salaries.

If you enjoy it a lot, you should charge forward when fighting. Only in this way can you truly inspire the morale of your soldiers and truly create a strong army..."

...

Qiao Mingjun tried his best to hold back several times of retching and swallowed the food vigorously. The officer beside him felt much better and ate quite calmly. The difference was already reflected.

Qiao Mingjun was supported by the officer and went to the cabin to visit many sergeants.
