"What the hell is it? Even Emperor Zhenwu and General Spirit Snake have been pulled out. These people are still too idle. Shuwen (Yan Xiaosong's words), please write it down. Next time, remind me to give these boring guys Send more things to do!" On the command platform of the stern building of the Chiyang Fleet's flagship "Flying Tianjinman", Kang Lin, who had just finished a short meeting, was looking out from the fence accompanied by Yan Si, the painting officer. , and at their feet, a group of farmers from all over the world are fishing with long bamboo poles. Looking up, the harvest of these guys is not bad. Just throwing the rod can pull up a fat big fish, and in a short while, the basket made of bamboo strips will be full.Of course, the Chiyang Fleet with four sailboats has now changed its guns from shotguns, and the fishing rods are no longer tied with strings, and there are a lot of scrap iron (scrapped matchlock guns, fire door guns, and iron cannons provide enough A large amount of scrap iron) the Chiyang fleet replaced all the hooks used by temporary fishermen with iron ones (Note 2). easy.

But what Kang Lin cared about was not the harvest of the temporary fishermen, he was concerned about the reaction of his subordinates. He had sent Fan Huzi, the infantry officer, and Zheng Nansheng, the sentry officer, to rectify military discipline, but now the fisherman's fishing place at the bow is still noisy The chaos made him very uncomfortable, especially when there were people in it who were promoting feudal superstition, which made him, a five-good young man who grew up under the red flag, even more uncomfortable. Therefore, he opened his mouth and ordered the vice president standing beside him , Yan Xiaosong, who is in charge of the logistics of the fleet, writes down this matter, reminding himself to increase the workload of new immigrants under his command in the future, so as to save these peasants with mud on their feet and have a mental head to talk about it. nothing.

"Hurry up and don't whisper here. Didn't I say it just now? Let you be quiet and don't keep chattering there. Do you have no ears, or is it because the chief of the post doesn't speak well?!" As if feeling Seeing the dissatisfaction of his own leader, Zheng Nansheng, the head of the infantry post, with a thin face and a long bamboo whip in his hand, roared and rushed to the flagship deck. The next moment, under his scolding and bamboo whip education Suddenly, the temporary fishermen who were still cheerful and chatting all of a sudden became wilted. The chief whistler Zheng, who assisted Fan Huzi in managing and training them, was not easy to talk to. Farmers and peasant women, what is obedience to discipline? To put it bluntly, the most terrifying thing for them now is not Kang Ling, the leader of the fleet, nor Fan Huzi, who is in charge of all matters of the infantry, but even more. It wasn't Yan Si who praised the military aircraft and assisted in general affairs of the fleet, but Zheng Nansheng, a small officer with a thin and long face who came from the frontier army of the Ming army in another world.This guy has all the bad habits that feudal armies are used to, greedy for money, lustful, addicted to alcohol, likes to gamble, bullies the weak and fears the hardest, but he is capable, cunning, ruthless and strong enough, can suppress people, and can control the situation, and at the same time Have a never-ending self-motivation.Therefore, Kang Lin, who fully understood his strengths, appointed him as a whistle chief in charge of 30 people, and this guy lived up to Kang Lin's expectations of him. , suppressed a group of old farmers who only knew how to plan food in the soil and didn't understand anything. In addition, he was ruthless and merciless when training his subordinates. A long bamboo whip awarded by Kanglin beat a group of new melons Dan-zi cried and howled like a wolf, because of this, he got the nickname "Zheng Yanwang" in the recruit training team, and now when he heard that "Zheng Yanwang" got angry, the mud legs sitting on the bow immediately closed themselves This group of guys who seem to be simple and honest but have a stomach full of shrewd calculations still eat this way. Sometimes they even follow Kang Lin’s words, but when they meet the evil star Zheng Nansheng, they are as obedient as chickens. , "Straight mother thief, do you think this is a wild game, this is a war..."

Seeing that the originally chaotic situation quickly calmed down after Zheng Nansheng intervened, Kang Lin nodded with Yan Si in satisfaction, and then he got off the podium hand in hand and came to the deck full of people. They wanted to see what it was Something that can make so many new immigrants talk about it.

With a spindle-shaped body and a sickle-shaped dorsal fin, it jumped out of the sea from time to time, nimbly catching the small fish thrown by the fishermen... Kang Lin saw at a glance what the temporary fishermen were arguing about. It was a four-meter-long fish. What a long dolphin, with a short beak and a round head, it’s really recognizable. It’s ridiculous that those new immigrants still regard this thing as a Yaksha patrolling the sea. Does the Yaksha patrolling the sea look like this? Haven’t you watched the TV of Journey to the West and Fengshenbang? ?Uh, the big bosses from the Ming and Qing dynasties have never watched it, and they probably don’t know what TV is, but they just arbitrarily think that the guy with the sharp beak and round head is the sea patrolling Yaksha of the Dragon King, which makes Kang Lin couldn't help being angry and funny, but he didn't know how to explain what a dolphin is to these medieval guys, so he could only put on a fat face and reprimanded him pretending to be majestic, "You guys are so leisurely, you actually have time to study here. A fish, it seems that Kang sent you too little work..."

"Why don't you hurry up and kowtow to the leader, and then go back to do your work, and if you want to chatter, I will send you to clean the deck of the entire fleet, and if you don't clean it, you will be fined and you will not be allowed to eat for three days!" The big leader of the fleet watched Officer Zan Hua left the deck and returned to the command platform. Sentinel Zheng Nansheng finally straightened his waist. Immediately, under the threat of his roar, a group of temporary fishermen quickly put away their fishing rods and respectfully saluted the long-gone leader Kang Lin. Then he carried the bamboo basket full of fresh sea fish, and went down the cabin silently.

At the same time, in the depths of Shahuo Island, an outpost reconnaissance team composed of more than a dozen strong and strong men is trekking in the dense forest. They waved the waist knife in their hands, cut off the weeds that were waist deep, and then pushed aside the entanglement. vines, carrying a large lifting pole weighing more than ten kilograms (carrying a gun, since being raided by the natives on Gejiadao Island, Chiyang high-level officials have required the teams that go out to investigate to carry heavy weapons every time, To suppress the ferocious and large number of indigenous savages, but the accuracy of the swarm of primitive rockets is too low, and the lethality is not enough. Therefore, at the request of Kang Lin and Yan Si, the going out team was changed to Carry a large lifting pole with almost the same weight. Because within a distance of tens of meters, the lifting gun can not only be loaded with large lead shot that can penetrate thick wood, but also small lead shot and iron sand, which can be fired like a shotgun to suppress the action The agile wildling native) marched deeper into the dense forest.They have walked for a full quarter of an hour, but they have not seen the beach on the other side of the island for a long time. This may be related to the luxuriant forest. The big trees that have not been cut down for thousands of years not only hindered the advancement of the advance team , also hindered the line of sight of the previous team. In addition, the terrain on the island tended to be flat, and there was no commanding height for the advance team to climb up and observe. Therefore, these Chiyang infantry who were struggling forward did not notice it, and they were not far away from them. In front of him, a golden sandy beach quietly appeared at the end of the dense forest.

"Quicken the pace, we're going back to the anchorage of the fleet before dinner time..." Wiping the sweat off his brow, Tang Bo (a fusilier specially recruited by Kanglin, who played brown bass before) wiped the sweat from his brow. The one with the flintlock gun) drank the light salt water in the bamboo kettle in one gulp, looked at the endless green in front of him, and began to urge his new subordinates to speed up their marching pace.

To be honest, he is actually not very satisfied with his current group of subordinates.Back then, he was the most elite soldier under the command of the deputy commander of the Hunan Army, Zeng Guoquan, and he was also the first soldier in the entire Hunan Army to use foreign guns (referring to brown bass muskets). The warriors in the battle are all strong and extremely fierce. Even if they encounter an enemy two or three times their size, they dare to rush up and fight fiercely with them until they are all killed or defeated!But now the new master gave him what kind of goods. Although each of them looked strong and powerful, the cowardice and panic in their eyes could not be concealed. In comparison, even the long-haired thieves that Tang Bo looked down upon were much better than these guys. At least the long-haired thieves still looked like an army, but these mud-legged people couldn't even do the simplest walking and marching well. It is only a few miles from the landing place to here, and the group of farmers who carry a load of only seven or eight catties rested twice. What made Tang Bo even more displeased was that although these people were timid, they had a strong temper. They took turns carrying large poles that were more like small-caliber artillery, and before they had gone far, they began to talk strangely. If this was in the past, Tang Bo would have drawn out his saber long ago when he was the commander of the Hunan Army Killed people, but now, in this strange place, he is a shaved Han (Chiyang) There are also ranks in this small fleet, Ming Dynasty immigrants are the first class, shaved Hans are the second class, naturalized Mongolians People are the third class, while the naturalized Jurchens can only respectfully accompany the last seat), but they can't let their own temperament do it, they can only choose to endure silently, "Anyone who hinders the team will be punished for three days. Have a meal!"

Note: The brown bass musket musket, this rifle is an improved style of the British dog lock musket, called the 1730 style.It is the first British military standard rifle mass-produced and distributed to troops. It is 116.8 cm long and weighs about 4 kg. The best range is 45 meters to 90 meters, and the maximum range is 135 meters to 180 meters.

Note 2: The hooks were replaced with iron ones. Among the immigrants recruited by Kang Lin, there were one or two wild blacksmiths who knew a little bit of iron work, and could make and repair crude iron tools, including iron hooks.
