Chapter 225 The Point of the Sword
"Zhang Guangzhe, you must be clear that the new era is coming, and you must look farther."
Zhu You proofreaded Zhang Guangzhe's enlightenment and felt a little regretful. "Our fleet is to traverse the royal fleet, not the Tianjin Navy where you used to be. Any rules and regulations must be strictly enforced meticulously!"
He scolded Zhang Guangzhe seriously, and when he saw him sweating all over his head, Zhu Youxiao inspected the Naval Base of Lushun Port.
He found that the current technical level of the recruits and soldiers of this huge naval base is quite satisfactory.
Due to the combination of theoretical knowledge and practical operations, they are faster than ordinary people.
Their biggest advantage is that they are professional navy soldiers, training during the day and studying cultural courses at night, and the time is full.
In addition to the teachers who are stationed in the military camp, they are all pragmatic teachers with real and practical materials, which allows everyone to understand some of the laws of the sea in advance.
This was summarized by predecessors with hundreds of years of experience and lessons.
They have mastered a lot of navigation knowledge even more than those pirates at once. They are not wild ways like those pirates, and they can be compared.
However, for all navy soldiers, they have a huge obstacle before mastering the basic common sense of navigation.
That is: recognize words!
What, you can't read?
Sorry, if you don’t have any education, you can only work hard to learn to recognize words, otherwise you will be forced to retire.
In the Port of Lushun, the Royal Naval Academy of Ming Dynasty, which has just been built, has a high salary and specialized cultural teachers, so you can follow and study day and night.
How can a person who doesn’t know how to become a qualified navy officer?
Therefore, for most navy soldiers, the cultural course must be passed first.
Most of the new soldiers of the North Sea Fleet were originally illiterate. Zhu Youxiao's request did stump many people.
The teachers of the Naval Academy specially hired by Zhu Youzhai are also very powerful. At least they are down-and-out scholars with real materials, as well as those experienced old sailors.
Due to his previous poverty, he defected to the new Ming court and served the new Ming Empire.
The Ming Dynasty court treated them very well, and one person’s salary could support their whole family.
One of their main tasks was to help the soldiers of the Ming Navy recruits recognize words.
For example, the navy soldiers must master at least 3,000 commonly used Chinese characters and understand the meaning of these characters in order to officially join the Royal Navy.
As for writing poems and writing pairs, eight-part essays, etc., it is not necessary.
Although the cultural course is very difficult, the navy soldiers must persist unless they don’t want to join the army anymore.
In addition to these new soldiers, it turns out that the soldiers of the Tianjin Navy performed quite well after joining the Royal Navy.
Some young people with more ambition also began to study in schools in batches, starting from the most basic cultural courses such as the Three Character Classic, and striving to master the sufficient amount of Chinese characters needed for navigation.
After passing the text assessment, they can participate in the selection of the Naval Officer Academy, and those who pass can undergo officer training.
In fact, no matter what you do, as long as you have a sense of ruthlessness, it is not difficult.
This has been the rapid development of the Ming Empire in the past six months.
It is actually not difficult to control warships and literacy. The key is whether you are willing to sweat or not, whether you have the determination to study it.
I stay on the boat every day, read and read and read words every day, and practice repeatedly. Even a stupid person can remember what he wants to do, let alone be a normal person.
The same is true for learning cultural courses. Chinese characters do look very unfamiliar, but as long as you are willing to spend time, they are not difficult to master.
I have learned more than ten or twenty Chinese characters over and over again every day, and in a few months, I can master many Chinese characters.
The key is whether you have ambition or not.
Therefore, Zhang Guangzhe was just politely yelling about difficulties and pleading for some soldiers who were not interested in literacy. Zhu Youxiao immediately blocked the gap.
"Your Majesty, the soldiers are back from training in the sea." 127
Zhang Guangzhe pointed to the large and small ships flying over from the distant sea and introduced to Zhu Youxiao.
"good!"
Zhu Youxiao looked at the big and small ships that were speeding back with interest and nodded.
After a while, ships of all sizes began to dock and moor in an orderly manner.
After the soldiers got off the ship, they saw His Majesty the Emperor coming. A famous general immediately directed the soldiers to line up and reorganize the army, and welcomed His Majesty the Emperor's inspection.
Because I had carried out multiple projects on the ship just now, a lot of sweat came out of the soldiers.
The skin exposed to everyone's clothes is basically bronze-colored, and the surface is also very smooth. The falling sweat beads cannot stay on their bodies.
"See Your Majesty"
"The Ming Dynasty has won thousands of victories!"
"The Ming Dynasty has been ten thousand years!"...
For a moment, the soldiers of the North Sea Fleet cheered and saluted Zhu Youxiao in an orderly manner.
To say that the previous naval soldiers’ understanding of His Majesty the Emperor was limited to words passed down by others.
So, after joining the Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty in the past two or three months, they personally felt what they understood about Zhu Youxiao.
There are indeed not many warships in the North Sea Fleet, and the warships are not very large in size. However, they feel that in the Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty, life is countless times better than the original one.
Take the original Tianjin Navy soldiers as an example.
In the past, it was impossible for you to do things in real life.
You don’t have such a chance at all. Everyone is scrambling to live, filling their own pockets, and waiting to die.
There are all things you do, but no one is willing to fight to improve the combat effectiveness of the Tianjin Navy.
The entire Tianjin Navy was dying, dead, and had no vitality or vitality at all.
The North Sea Fleet is completely different now. It is full of vitality, vitality, and a spirit of striving for progress.
Every naval soldier here is actively improving his skills, hoping to have a higher level of ship operation.
They are eager to fight against the enemy, to build military achievements, and to get rewards for military achievements. No matter how powerful the enemy is, they will not be afraid.
Especially the shipyard next door that started construction day and night to build warships has aroused their great interest.
In the past, due to the exhaustion of the imperial court's finances, the Tianjin Navy had not built a new warship for many years. The latest ship was launched many years ago.
In contrast to the original Tianjin Navy, the fleet of the Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty was growing rapidly.
They have learned that in the latest two months, forty-eight Leopard cruisers will be completed and delivered to the North Sea Fleet and the East Sea Fleet for use respectively.
These extremely powerful warships are all professional warships. These brand new warships used purely for combat have made the soldiers jealous and their passion continue to surge.
Yes, they all yearn for fighting and are eager to make achievements in combat, especially those soldiers whose families were harmed by Tartars or corrupt officials, who also hope to avenge themselves and their ancestors.
Not to mention the recruits from the North Sea Fleet. Now, the soldiers of the North Sea Fleet are no worse than those of the Royal Guards in terms of salary and benefits.
All the families of the soldiers of the Royal Navy North Sea Fleet moved to the nearby city of Lushun, which had just been completed, and were allocated large houses.
Those new houses with fine decoration, at least 200 square meters per household, everyone has a job here, and they have at least one or two taels of silver per month.
Don’t mention yourself. The lowest-level soldiers also have three taels of silver every month, and they also include food and accommodation.
These lives that are like dreams happened to those of you, the soldiers. How could you not be grateful to the Ming Emperor Zhu Youxiao in front of you?
Now that he saw His Majesty the Emperor, the soldiers were full of blood and were very excited.
