Chapter 158: Entering China Zehua
It is said that if you gain, you will have a house. The business in the Zhenguo Mansion is operating every day. Such a Zhenguo Mansion is usually gray, and the huge chimney will exhale huge white mist every day. However, in the early morning, dawn suddenly appears, and the golden light shines out from the cracks of the clouds and falls on the buildings built by the blue bricks of the Zhenguo New Army Camp. Finally, it can still have some color.
There are many similar buildings here, and cement roads have been paved between the buildings, and green pine trees are planted on both sides of the cement road. The pine and cypress extend all the way to the end, which is a huge schoolyard and shooting range. This is actually the Zhenguo New Army camp.
In the military camp, there is a small building where Ye Chunqiu stays. The lights in the small building were on until midnight last night, but the next morning, Ye Chunqiu got up very early again.
These days, I stayed in the new army camp of Zhenguo, which meant both as shelter and training navy.
The eight hundred sailors recruited were temporarily trained in the new army camp of Zhenguo, but they adopted a mixed system. They practiced during the day, and the night class at night was to learn Portuguese. Of course, those Portuguese prisoners were also included in this time, while they were also learning Chinese.
The communication between these beginners is very interesting. The Chinese sailors used Chinese words mixed with a few Portuguese words, while the prisoners used Portuguese words to describe them.
The captives were all honest. After a fierce defeat, they now lost their freedom. When people were thousands of miles away, they had no hope of being saved. In addition, the torture of Alfonso and Wang Hanzhong, hundreds of Portuguese soldiers were beheaded directly, which shocked them a lot. They knew very well that these Oriental natives would say the same thing and kill you.
The new Portuguese mercenary officer has been selected. He is a young nobleman who learns Chinese quickly. He is now named Plains. Now he has named Yes. Almost all Portuguese sailors have to take the Chinese name. This is the rule, and basically, most of them have the surname Ye.
Yes' daily task was to monitor Portuguese sailors. After all, the mercenaries adopted a congregation system. If one person escaped, all the people in the army would behead them. If one person deceived or escaped and sheltered them, a small team would be pulled out and chopped off. This was stipulated in the latest mercenary law, and Yes believed that these Oriental scholars would implement this without any discount.
So he managed everyone very carefully. In addition, he also had to contact the Han Navy Team officials. When both sides practiced, they also adopted a mixed form, using the double command system, one Han team official and the other Portuguese team official. During the battle, the Han team official issued orders, and the Portuguese team officials provided advice, but in practice or daily life, they managed their own management.
To a certain extent, the Portuguese sailors were very docile and they were obedient to participate in this harsh recruit training. Then Yes unexpectedly discovered that these Han troops all called Ye Chunqiu the mentor (father). Now, they are considered to be based on local customs. Yes took the lead and regarded Ye Chunqiu as his father's role.
Every morning, Ye Si would always go to Ye Chunqiu's public housing with a small notebook recorded with a quill pen, and then summarize the things he practiced for a day.
At this time, Ye Chunqiu was also working on official duties, so he asked him to wait aside. He probably read the report. Who missed his hometown, who had a dispute with others, and who complained. These crooked Chinese characters were sometimes mixed with some Portuguese. Fortunately, Ye Chunqiu could translate them through the light brain and understand the general meaning. So he mentioned some important matters to take care of, and circled them. This was to tell Yes that the circled things should be handled early and the key points. As for what to do, he would have to repay them in a few days.
"Father..." Because of his daily communication with the Chinese people, Yes has become somewhat familiar with the Chinese language with Portuguese characteristics. This comes from when he was in Malacca, he had some communication with local Chinese people. Now he is more familiar with the Chinese language. He looked at Ye Chunqiu and said carefully: "Many people complain that such practice is inappropriate and very hard."
"Yes." Ye Chunqiu said, "Then keep practicing."
Yes said again: "Some people doubt whether my father would pay everyone the salary as agreed before. Of course, I have severely punished those guys."
Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but find it funny. These Portuguese people had the same quality that Ye Chunqiu admired - they wanted money.
Ye Chunqiu said lightly, "This is what you should do. As long as you serve your life well, all the salary will be paid on time, using your Portuguese standards."
Yes breathed a sigh of relief, even with a hint of joy on his face, because by standards, his salary was the same as Alfonso.
Ye Chunqiu's expression suddenly became a little more solemn at this time, and he said in a deep voice: "The most important thing now is exercise, communication and coordination. I don't want anyone to be foolish on me. Such people will be severely punished. There is a saying here: Entering China and entering China. When you get here, you must forget your identity, otherwise it will be difficult to say. Learning Chinese must be stepped up, and you must learn the Four Books and Five Classics in the future. Don't be anxious, come slowly. The real skills of water war are the future."
After Ye Chunqiu said that, he stood up and said, "Okay, go and do your business."
"Yes." Yes bowed respectfully and then left in a hurry.
Ye Chunqiu's public housing is facing the playground, so you can see the exercises on the playground outside through the glass window.
At this time, Ye Chunqiu saw 1,600 mixed naval personnel training together through the transparent glass window, leading the team with veterans of the Zhenguo New Army, which was equivalent to a group of students from the Zhenguo New Army, a Portuguese sailor and a Han sailor.
There were students from the new army in Zhenguo who took the lead in training, but Ye Chunqiu had no worries. The only thing he had to do now was to clean up the marks on these Portuguese people, let them learn the customs of the Han people, learn the language and writing of the Han people, and let them change their appearance. For the recruits of the navy, they would learn the experience of operating ships and naval battles accumulated by these Portuguese people for dozens or hundreds of years. If these Portuguese people could use them in the future, of course they would continue to use them. If they could not use them, they could also be expelled.
Ye Chunqiu took his eyes away from the window, turned around and walked to the sofa in the public room to sit down, sat down for a while, and was about to go to the school ground to supervise the exercises personally, but a guard came over and said, "Mr., someone from the palace, please come to the palace to meet, and the eunuchs are waiting outside the camp."
