Tuolin Village.

The three young military guards, a total of 3,360 soldiers, and a group of generals and the military staff team newly formed and sent by Riyue Hall, have completely set up camps in Tuolin Village.

The military camp was built next to the crape myrtle forest.

The military camp and the ruined Tuolin Village protected the 308 new tombs in the center.

The imperial court expanded the navy and recruited naval officers, soldiers and sailors, and had long been spread to the southeast coastal areas.

Just outside the Tuolin Village, there was also a camp rising from the ground on the beach in front of the small fishing village pier.

The people recruited from all over the country put down their farm tools, took off their thick robe, put on their dark blue navy robe, practiced day and night, and drove the boat repeatedly and rushed into the surging sea.

An eunuch named Zheng Zhong came from Yingtian City and temporarily governed the affairs of the first battalion of the Naval Army Camp in Tuolin Village.

By the way.

Zheng Zhong is the eunuch who is currently temporarily acting as the governor of the Navy of Tuolin Village. He did not originally have this name, or even this surname.

Zheng Zhong was very young, had been to the East Palace, and had to give him a pot of elbows given by his grandson.

Now, he is the only adopted son of the eunuch of Sanbao Zheng He.

Although the two sides had never met and had no formal etiquette, with the approval of His Majesty the Emperor and the letter of name given to the Sanbao eunuch also came from the new seaport of the Ming Dynasty in Dagula, the distant southern border, Zheng Zhong officially became the adopted son of the Sanbao eunuch.

The number of new recruits in the Tuolin Village Naval Camp is not less than that of the young army guards, and it is even increasing every day.

Every day, Zheng Zhong had to personally welcome all the sent recruits into the Navy camp and personally arrange the Navy's training matters.

Of course, the developers and implementers of the Navy Training Plan were all veterans in the Ming Dynasty Navy.

What Zheng Zhong really needs to do is to urge all details to do well and coordinate the relationship between all parties.

After arranging the military affairs of the Navy for a whole day, Zheng Zhong would always bring two young men wearing the navy's deep blue military robe to the young army guard camp.

There are no exceptions today.

After receiving 134 new recruits sent from Zhenjiang and arranging the next day's exercises the same as the previous day, Zheng Zhong led two young men to the Young Army Guard Camp.

While walking, Zheng Zhong also listened, two young men who were only half a step behind him reported on all matters in the camp.

"Sir, the food and food pay for the camp is about to be used up. It will take at least five days for the food and grass to be released from Suzhou Prefecture to arrive. Songjiang Prefecture has received the document from the navy and is urgently preparing to transport the food and grass."

Military pay, food and grass are the core things that maintain an army during non-war times.

Hearing that the camp was about to have a shortage of food and grass, Zheng Zhong couldn't help but slow down.

He frowned and snorted coldly: "Our family just arrived in Songjiang Prefecture. The first person to go to was Songjiang Prefecture. We asked them to prepare food and grass as soon as possible. So far, what about their food and grass! All the food and grass we eat now is supplied by Suzhou Prefecture!"

Zheng Zhong, the temporary acting governor of the Tuolin Village Navy, was very angry.

The two young men looked at each other. They came out of the Sun and Moon Hall. When they found the problem of food and grass in the navy, they knew that Songjiang Prefecture was shirking responsibility.

One of them whispered: "Sir, Songjiang Prefecture has come to explain the document, saying that the Japanese invasions are constantly occurring in various places this year, and Songjiang Prefecture has been frequently pumped for a while, and it is difficult to sustain for a while. But..."

Zheng Zhong stopped, looked at the young man, and sneered: "Do you want to say that Songjiang Prefecture is deliberately shirking? They are worried that our battle will fail. When the Japanese pirates counterattack, Songjiang Prefecture is on the front line. At that time, a large number of people will rush into Songjiang Prefecture. If they cannot provide food, the people will eat them completely?"

The two teenagers smiled bitterly.

"This is reasonable..."

"Don't hesitate!" Zheng Zhong, who grew up in the palace since childhood, seemed very vulgar, almost like an ordinary navy recruit: "A bunch of mediocre officials! If there is no food and grass, how can men fight in front of them! If they don't send new food and grass before they finish eating, they will not send new food and grass, so grandfather personally took people to confiscate Songjiang Mansion!"

Zheng Zhong, who had been studying serving people since childhood and had just taken power, dared to say something about copying the Songjiang Prefecture Office, which was shocking.

The two young men smiled bitterly and reminded carefully: "Sir, I'm planning on the day, and the grandson should be here. Should I use the grandson's name to Xingwen Songjiang Prefecture to speed up the transfer of food and grass?"

Although Zhu Zhanji did not have any imperial envoys to do so now, everyone in the court knew about it.

As long as the expanded navy is fully reorganized and Wang Jinghong, who has rushed back from southern Xinjiang with warships, arrives, the court will inevitably grant Zhu Zhanji the Japanese affairs.

At that time, it won’t be a small Songjiang Mansion.

Even Nanzhili, Zhejiang, and even Fujian, the entire coastal areas were subject to the restraint of Zhu Zhanji.

Zheng Zhong shook his head immediately.

He also knew that he was just the adopted son of the Three Treasures eunuch, and he worked in the palace all year round.

When he first entered the navy, he was responsible for the errand of the governor of the Navy Camp in Tuolin Village. He did not want people to gossip or make himself seem incompetent.

Therefore, he did everything himself, taking the lead in everything, eating a bowl of rice and sleeping in a camp with the officers and soldiers in the army. Similarly, he also threw away the ethics of the past, and was really like an ordinary soldier, talking swearing.

What he did was to forget that he was a eunuch.

The above purposes are just to let the grandson know that Zheng Zhong is a capable person.

Now he asked him to borrow the name of the grandson and go to Songjiang Prefecture to ask for food and grass, which is obviously not in line with Zheng Zhong's idea.

"Send officers and soldiers to various places in Songjiang Prefecture, raise the banner of our navy, and find the landlords and wealthy people to borrow food! Anyone who lends food, when the food and grass from Suzhou Prefecture and the court arrives, our navy will pay half a percent of the interest in addition to returning the capital!"

Zheng Zhong immediately made a decision.

Since your Songjiang Mansion cannot produce food, my navy will go to someone to borrow food by himself.

This was slapped hard on the face of Songjiang Mansion.

But if there are people from the court present, you must ask the previous question. Is Zheng Zhong who is trying to conspire with the local government on the grounds of borrowing grain and losing food and grass?

But there were only two young people present.

And they also knew that Zheng Zhong could not have thought of these things at the moment, and he was really angry with Songjiang Mansion.

The matter of food and grass in the army was decided, and the young man spoke again: "The Navy Staff Team and the Navy instructors discussed whether they could allocate all kinds of warships from various shipyards such as Longjiang Shipyard and send them to the Navy camp. The ships used by the officers and soldiers in the battalion are not suitable for long-distance voyages at sea, at most they would strengthen the unity and water nature of the officers and soldiers."

"When my father wrote, I said that I should ask the teachers more about the matter of the navy. Since you and they all think it should be, I, a person who temporarily coordinates with all parties, have no reason to disagree." Zheng Zhong looked at the two teenagers and smiled: "Part the documents, stamp them with our navy's seal, and send people to shipyards in various places to ask for ships."

The two teenagers immediately received the order.

Zheng Zhong thought about it and added: "Don't just ask for it after taking the official documents, be too ambitious. We only have so many people now, and we need more ships, and not so many people will get on the boat. If we park on the sea, we may cause the destruction of those damn Japanese pirates and spend the money and food of the court. As many sailors and sailors as we need, we will need as many ships."

This is a steady remark.

The two teenagers nodded and agreed.

Waiting for the Young Army Guard Camp.

The guards in front of the camp gate, although they had long been familiar with Zheng Zhong and others on the navy, still stopped the three of them.

Zheng Zhong was not angry either, and smiled and signaled the two teenagers to go forward to check their identities with the young army guards.

After the three people's official card identities were checked, the officers and soldiers of the young army guards put the three people into the camp.

As soon as he entered the Young Army Guard Camp.

Zheng Zhong's steps involuntarily slowed down, and his face showed unconscious admiration and yearning.

Although Zheng Zhong had been to the Youjun Guard Camp for several days, he had always admired the military discipline and training intensity of the Youjun Guard officers and soldiers.

In the entire camp, except for the officers and soldiers guarding everywhere and patrolling everywhere, everyone seemed to have endless exercises.

The entire camp was filled with loud horns from the sun rising from the sea level to the sun falling behind the horizon.

It seems that everyone is full of endless energy and sweat is always endless.

In just a few days, the ground of the Young Army Guard Camp had become as hard as iron plates and no grass grew.

In the navy, even those old navy teachers had already expressed more of the training intensity that Zheng Zhong asked for and expressed his concerns and opposition many times.

But Zheng Zhong always refused on the grounds that the young guards next door were several times more powerful than them.

If it weren't for the concern that the navy was full of new recruits, Zheng Zhong even wanted to continue to strengthen the training intensity of the navy.

Recently, Zheng Zhong found many training slogans in the Young Army Guard Camp, which were made into big red banners and hung in various places.

‘Sweat more in peacetime and less in wartime.’

‘Blood, sweat, and tears, and skin, and flesh, and not fall behind.’

‘I am glorious when the Ming Dynasty is peaceful, and I am happy when the people are prosperous.’

“…”

And banners like this are hanging everywhere.

Although it was just a few words, Zheng Zhong read it a lot and felt a blood heat in his body burning constantly.

With a learning attitude, Zheng Zhong learned from General Qi Zi'an that this is called the construction of the army's spiritual and cultural heritage.

Recently, Zheng Zhong was thinking about what kind of banners he would hang in the navy camp to inspire the training enthusiasm of the navy officers and soldiers.

As he thought about it, Zheng Zhong had already walked to the tent of the young army guards.

As soon as he stopped, Zheng Zhong heard General Qi Zi'an's loud and angry scolding coming from the tent.

"You are soldiers of the Ming Dynasty!"

"It's the general of the Ming Dynasty!"

"I will ask you what the duty of a soldier is!"

"Do you still know what your duty is?"

Zheng Zhong swore that he had never seen him before... he would be so angry when he heard General Qi Zi'an.
