Chapter 380 Our Navy wants these people!

"Zheng Zhilong, this traitor!"

Shi Kefa was furious and after throwing the teacup, he scolded him fiercely.

He was always upright, and of course he was extremely angry when he heard such news.

Zhang Shenyan's face seemed quite calm after the initial anger. After all, he had experienced too many great joys and downs, which was much richer than Shi Kefa's life experience, and had long developed a character of not showing his emotions. Relatively speaking, Shi Kefa, who was only thirty-four years old, was still a naughty man. Shi Kefa could curse Zheng Zhilong's traitor without restraint, but Zhang Shenyan could not. To be precise, he did not dare.

Zheng Zhilong is the general officer of Fujian and a first-rank military officer. However, this is not the most critical. The most critical thing is that Zheng Zhilong has thousands of ships and tens of thousands of armed pirates in his hands. This is the most deadly thing. It can be said that in Fujian, even in the country, no one can control Zheng Zhilong. Therefore, Xiong Wencan has to work hard to recruit him. In fact, everyone knows that the court's reunion is unilateral and has no binding force at all. If Zheng Zhilong is unhappy, he may turn against him at any time.

The Ming Navy is not a match for Zheng Zhilong at all. Neither the Dengzhou Navy nor the Tianjin Navy can cause trouble for Zheng Zhilong. Zheng Zhilong is already grateful if he doesn't come to cause trouble for them. Therefore, even if the court wants to offend Zheng Zhilong, it has no strength to offend him. Since Zheng Zhilong has no strength to offend Zheng Zhilong, then Zheng Zhilong is lawless and extremely vicious, so the court can only let it go.

Over the years, the court has actually killed many officials. As long as you are defeated, people will be killed. Even if you are a Grand Secretary, Governor, Governor, and the imperial edict is delivered, everyone will still fall to the ground. But when you kill, all the civil officials will be killed. Only the most unlucky Shanxi general Zhang Honggong, which happened in the past few years. Over the years, no senior military officer has been killed.

In order to fight against the Tartars in Liaodong and suppress the civil unrest in Shaanxi, the imperial court was too late to win over these generals, so how could they dare to kill them? Besides, even if they wanted to kill them, how could they kill them? Which general is not surrounded by a large number of servants? These servants only obey the orders of the general and do not miss the others! The Jinyiwei dared not take anyone!

Zheng Zhilong's subordinates brutally slaughtered Haizhou City, which is of course a heinous crime. It is no exaggeration to confiscate the family and destroy the clan. However, even if he wrote to the court and Yang Yipeng, accusing Zheng Zhilong of being unscrupulous and the general of killing and looting him, what's the use of things that the court can't even take care of, what ability does Yang Yipeng have to manage?

Who can deal with Zheng Zhilong?

Who dares to deal with Zheng Zhilong?

Who has the strength to deal with Zheng Zhilong?

Subconsciously, Zhang Shenyan glanced at Zhang Zhun.

Perhaps, only the person in front of him can fight against Zheng Zhilong.

But who can guarantee that after the elimination of Zheng Zhilong, Zhang Zhun will not become another Zheng Zhilong? When he was just the commander of Aoshan Guard, he dared to bombard Nanjing City. Now he is the deputy governor, and maybe even Beijing City dared to bombard Beijing City!

Zhang Zhun noticed Zhang Shenyan's contradictory gaze and said as if nothing had happened: "My sir, I don't understand the matters outside of military affairs. Now that the truth has been revealed, there is nothing for me. I will go to rectify the East China Sea. My troops in the city will be withdrawn after extinguishing the fire, without leaving any soldiers! My troops will never disturb the people!"

After saying that, he patted his butt and was really leaving.

Soon, the Hu Ben Army troops in Haizhou City received the order to retreat. After extinguishing all the fires, all the Hu Ben Army soldiers retreated. Soon after, the soldiers in Haizhou City could no longer be seen in the gray uniforms. The people in Haizhou City seemed a little confused. They had learned that these gray uniforms were Zhang Zhun's real subordinates. The original bandits were all pretending to be Zhang Zhun.

It was the arrival of these soldiers in gray military uniforms that rescued them from the bandits and helped them extinguish the burning fire. Therefore, the surviving people were full of good feelings for these soldiers in gray military uniforms. Unfortunately, they left quietly. No one knew where they went and whether they would come back again.

Looking at Zhang Zhun's back as he strides away, Zhang Shenyan and Shi Kefa looked at each other, wanting to say something, but they can't say it. They really couldn't be sure whether Zhang Zhun was a thief or a usable general?

Subconsciously, they hoped that Zhang Zhun was an available general who could help them solve the current problems. They hoped that Zhang Zhun could help the court to deal with the Tartars in Liaodong, and that Zhang Zhun could help suppress the civil unrest in Shaanxi. But reason told them that Zhang Zhun was definitely not a simple person. He easily defeated Zheng Zhilong's subordinates and forged a disciplined army. This is not something that ordinary people can do.

Since the battle began, Zhang Shenyan has been carefully observing Zhang Zhun's troops. As a result, he was surprised to find that Zhang Zhun's troops were not only able to fight, but after entering the city, they were not moved at all in the face of gold, silver and wealth thrown everywhere by the bandits. Instead, they continued to rush and attack and continue to chase and suppress the bandits until they annihilated all the bandits. Then, Zhang Zhun's troops quickly entered the work of extinguishing the fire.

Zhang Shenyan has seen many troops who can fight. However, the army that can fight, has such strict discipline and will never disturb the people can only do it decades ago. If Zhang Zhun led an ordinary Ming army, Zhang Shenyan would have written quickly and asked the court to commend him. However, Zhang Zhun... He had a intuition that Zhang Zhun's ambition was not just as simple as dominating the side. It was almost impossible for them to control Zhang Zhun. This man was indeed a thorn!

The troops that the court can control have no combat power. The troops that have combat power cannot control. The most painful thing in the world is this. After a long silence, Zhang Shenyan said slowly: "Well, let's wait until Kun Cen comes before dealing with it!"

Shi Kefa nodded and said helplessly: "That's all."

...

After Zhang Zhun left Haizhou City, he led his army to the East China Sea Central Institute.

Fang He and Liu Dong have already taken control of the place with the Marine Corps soldiers.

The East Sea Zhongshou is located on the east side of Haizhou City, just above Yuzhou Mountain Island. The larger the Yuzhou Mountain Island, the greater the jurisdiction of the East Sea Zhongshou. From the perspective of jurisdiction, the East Sea Zhongshou is an independent Qianhu Office, which is not under the jurisdiction of Huai'an Guards and Dahewei, but is directly under the Governor's Office of the Five Army. Therefore, Zhang Zhun's arrival is legitimate.

When Sun Ronglu led his pirates to attack Haizhou City, he sent more than 100 people to attack Zhongsuo in the East China Sea. The abandoned Zhongsuo in the East China Sea was naturally not a fierce pirate opponent. Unpredictable, Qianhu was killed, and the remaining officers fled one after another. The remaining military households were very frightened, worried that the pirates would arrive again. It was not until the soldiers of the Hu Ben Army arrived that they felt a little relieved.

After Zhang Zhun came to the East China Sea, he briefly learned about the situation. The area of ​​Yuzhou Mountain Island is about 200 square kilometers, and it is a large island. It is converted into acres, which is 300,000 mu, which is just a little smaller than Fushan. The island is mainly mountainous land, and the amount of cultivated land is not small. In fact, Yuzhou Mountain is the Yuntai Mountain in Lianyungang in the future. The main peak is called Yunu Peak, with an altitude of more than 600 meters.

When the original East China Sea Central Institution was full, there were more than 1,000 military households, and their families and their breeding descendants, almost five or six thousand. However, just like other Thousand Households, with the abolition of the garrison system, many military households in the East China Sea Central Institution also fled. The current registered population is inaccurate. According to the estimates of local military households, there are about 3,000 people.

Since it is an important coastal defense area, the East China Sea actually belongs to the jurisdiction of the navy. It used to have warships, but later it disappeared. The navy became a pure infantry. Even the only port was disrepaired and was not decent. However, they were in the ranks of navy and were surrounded by the sea on Yuzhou Mountain Island. Therefore, most of the military households were proficient in water. Most of them did not have their own fields, and they usually relied on fishing for a living, and had a certain foundation in boat handling skills.

"Sir, our Navy wants these people!"

I heard that most of the military households in the East China Sea were familiar with water and knew certain skills in ship control. Yang Guohua's thoughts suddenly became active. The most lacking thing the Hu Ben Army Navy now is this kind of person.

"Sir, why not set up a base here for our Navy."

Zhou Zhengyu's thoughts are obviously more active than Yang Guohua.

The Hu Ben Navy is now working hard to build ships. I believe that in just a few months, a large number of ships will be launched. The more warships there are, the more sailors you need, which is the most basic rule. However, the source of the navy's personnel is always a problem. The people from Aoshanwei and Lingshanwei are indeed not very enthusiastic about entering the navy to serve. There are very few people who voluntarily sign up to join the navy.

In order to strengthen the navy's personnel, Zhang Zhun even forced the backbone from the army's soldiers to the navy. It can be imagined that the personnel transferred in this way must be not very active in training. The ideological education process in the middle was also very long. It was only after the two hundred naval students that they had basically calmed down after the battle in Mawan.

However, the military households in the East China Sea are different. The military households here have a naval base. They were originally naval troops, and they entered the Hu Ben Navy to serve, but they were just a different name. Moreover, they still had a certain foundation. As long as they were accepted, trained, and supplemented with ideological education, they would be good naval soldiers.

"I know what you guys think."

"I came here all the way, wasn't it just for this East China Sea?"

Zhang Zhun smiled and said without any concealment.

In fact, when he sent troops to Haizhou City, Zhang Zhun had already made the idea of ​​attacking the East China Sea Institute.

The East China Sea Zhongshou is a special place. It is the intersection of Nanzhili and Shandong, and its geographical location is very superior. From the East China Sea Zhongshou, you can quickly reach Yangzhou Prefecture in Nanzhili, Guide Prefecture in Henan Province, and Yanzhou Prefecture in Shandong Province. It can be said to be a place of four battles and an army of hundreds of battles. As long as you control this place, the tentacles of the Hu Ben Army can stretch very far.

At the same time, the journey from Fushan City to Donghai Zhongsou is not far away. Reinforcements can be provided at any time, and there is no need to worry too much about safety. From Yuzhou Mountain to Fushan City, the waterway is basically only a day away. This section of the seaway has relatively calm sea conditions and does not have too much wind and waves, which is just suitable for the navy to train sailors.

Every day, the navy can set off from Yuzhou Mountain, train all the way to the Mawan Naval Base, then rest there for a while, and then return by boat. Of course, the other way around is also possible. Such back and forth training is much more effective than wandering around Mawan.

During training, naval ships can also load supplies and undertake some daily transportation tasks. At the same time, ships travel between Yuzhou Mountain and Mawan, and are also patrolling the coastline from Yuzhou Mountain to Mawan to protect the sea safety of Lingshanwei. While transportation, they can also train sailors to conduct maritime patrols, killing three birds with one stone, why not do it?

The eight pirate ships seized from the pirates are the best training ships. Due to ship design and artillery performance issues, Zhang Zhun is not planning to use these pirate ships as the main force of the navy, so using them as training ships is the best destination. The eight pirate ships can train at least 500 sailors every day. Now, the eight pirate ships are docked in the only port in the East China Sea.

With this fixed sea route, the materials Zhang Zhun needs can be purchased directly from Haizhou City and then transported through the East China Sea to meet the needs of Fushan City. All materials from Fushan City can also be unloaded in the East China Sea and then transferred to other places. After all, Haizhou City is located in Huai'an Prefecture, and commercial trade is relatively prosperous than Laizhou Prefecture. For example, private salt can be transported directly from Fushan City to Yuzhou Mountain and then sold in various places.

Of course, Zhang Zhun's takeover of the East China Sea Zhongsou is completely illegal in terms of procedures. Qianhu Suo does not mean that you will take over what you are willing to take over. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a mess? However, Zhang Zhun is not worried at all. Some of him take over the East China Sea Zhongsou name. Haha, in what name? In the name of preventing pirates!

The bandits had just plundered Haizhou City, causing great losses to the people. Isn’t it a matter of the authority to arrange troops to be stationed here? As long as the Hu Ben Army is stationed here, do others still want him to spit it out? Well, if this is true, we can only move roughly. However, Zhang Zhun estimated that the possibility of moving roughly is not high.

"Sir, the two of them are Ye Quande and Robert Fang."

Fang He, who arrived in advance, came to the front with two local military households.

"Governor."

Both military households saluted a little restrainedly.
