Cheng Aiyang sat in the four-wheeled carriage, listening to the staggering sound of the wheel hub, and was dizzy. It was just because of the image of a trainer that he gritted his teeth and endured it, not daring to reveal it at all.

"Oh, this Guangdong ground is really hard to walk, no one will come to see the Censorate?" The young man in the same car spoke rudely and was soon "destruction of heaven" - his head hit the window frame and let out a more shrill scream.

As a Guangdong native, Cheng Aiyang was naturally dissatisfied with this lucky man. Originally, the car was a bus sent to him by the training department, but before leaving, he received a notice asking him to take a young man to his post.

If there is no accident, this young man who graduated from the Captain's Department of Huangming Naval University will become the captain of the flagship Guangdong and Guangxi, the South China Sea Fleet.

"Guide Cheng," shouted the young man, "has the general officer of our South China Sea Fleet chosen?"

Of course, it was decided, this was an appointment issued with the fleet instructor.

Ai Yang did not have the heart to satisfy the captain's curiosity.

As a giant of the Han Society, Cheng Aiyang hopes to expand the influence of the Han Society in the navy and allow the Ming Navy to achieve great achievements as the Han cavalry. However, although this Furu graduated from the Navy University, he did not have the slightest demeanor of the Ming warrior. He was lustful and lustful, and was simply a playboy.

——If the instructor had no personnel authority, the flagship captain would never have given such a heavy responsibility.

Cheng Aiyang closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, ignoring the cry from time to time from time to time.

...

Today, Guangzhou is already a capital of Southeast Asia.

After the Ming Dynasty reopened the sea, a large number of Thai merchants poured in, bringing inland goods and exchanged them for silver and spices. Guangzhou, as the capital of Guangdong Province, naturally had cars like dragons and horses like streams, and there were endless business trips on the official roads.

Such a large flow of people also leads to a problem. The highest proportion of official roads in the country is in Guangdong. Many newly built official roads were damaged by heavy vehicles over a month, resulting in roadbed damage and bumps on the road surface. This is no longer a problem of management capabilities, but the technology cannot meet the standards. As the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Shen Youlong cannot build a steel road at any cost.

The South China Sea Fleet's headquarters is not in Guangzhou, but in Leizhou Prefecture. The General's Office is located in Haikang County (now Leizhou City). Although the South China Sea Fleet is still an empty frame, waiting to load the Guangdong Navy into it, the current Leizhou Bay has been filled with ships that have come to report, like a major sea town.

The carriage entered Haikang County and stopped in front of the mansion opposite Mazu Temple. The gate was covered with red paint, and the color looked quite bright. Just when Cheng Aiyang was wondering if he had walked the right place, the gate opened. Several soldiers wearing white clothes and black trousers and navy uniforms walked out from inside, carrying a plaque in their hands.

The plaque contains the three words "General's Mansion".

Cheng Aiyang sorted out his slightly wrinkled military uniform and walked straight in.

The soldiers who were hanging plaques saw Cheng Aiyang and the three silver emblems on his shoulder stamps, stood beside each other and greeted him. Cheng Aiyang replied with a heavy face. Until he saw the guards, he stopped walking: "I am Colonel Cheng Aiyang, the general instructor of the South China Sea Fleet, and I want to see the Scouts."

The guard saluted and went in to report. A black-faced man from forty was walked out of the inside. His face was full of ravines, like a statue carved by the sea breeze.

"The official Cheng Aiyang has seen the military gate." Cheng Aiyang has seen Tong Qingyou's portrait in Beijing. He is confident that he will not admit his mistake.

"I am a polite official, Tong Qingyou," the general of the Admiral South China Sea Fleet, Tong Qingyou, returned the gift to Cheng Aiyang, and showed the golden emblem on his shoulder without any mind.

As a general of the navy, Tong Qingyou's rank was determined to be Major General.

"Tang Feipeng, the vocational department, has met Instructor Tong." The young captain of Nei-decided saluted Tong Qingyou immediately after the instructor.

Cheng Aiyang paused in his heart and said to himself: I knew that the general was once an instructor at the Navy University, but I didn’t expect that the Fu Lao was his disciple. No wonder he reported it so much.

Tong Qingyou looked at his students but had no tenderness at all. He was as cold as the water of the North Sea and said, "Do you know the important task of the flagship captain?"

During the naval battle, once the general of the fleet had an accident, they did not rank down like the army, but obtained the command of the fleet according to the qualifications of the captain. The flagship captain was the second person behind the general of the fleet. Once Tong Qingyou was unable to command the fleet to fight, Tang Feipeng would have to bear the honor and destiny of the entire fleet.

"The vocational department is very clear!" Tang Feipeng said loudly.

Tong Qingyou saw him a little bit of apology, which made Cheng Aiyang, who was standing aside, wondered.

"After you graduated, you only had a supply fleet in Shandong Navy, and fought pirates three times. Such qualifications are far from convincing the public." Tong Qingyou still said coldly.

Cheng Aiyang thought to himself: Could it be that this captain was not designated by General Tong?

"The instructor must understand the ability of the vocational department, otherwise the vocational department will not have to travel thousands of miles to the South China Sea Fleet." Tang Feipeng's face was serious, his words were arrogant, and he had a cunning feeling, which made Cheng Aiyang dislike him more and more.

Tong Qingyou smiled: "Do it well, Nanyang is in trouble, it's not something that Shandong can compare."

"I understand!" Tang Feipeng suddenly grinned: "The Ministry of Justice dares to change the flagship name to Ao Ming."

"Ao Ming?" Tong Qingyou obviously had never read "The Romance of the Gods".

"The book says it is the Dragon King of the South China Sea, and he uses his name to suppress the shrimp soldiers and crab generals in the foreign land!" Tang Feipeng said with a smile.

Cheng Aiyang was about to scold him, but heard Tong Qingyou touch his chin and say, "But, let's change his name to Ao Ming. Remember to submit it to the deployment and file."

"Abide by the orders!" Tang Feipeng responded.

...

The first time Shen Tingyang submitted the four major fleet structures in the name of the Navy's Staff Headquarters surprised the army veterans of the Grand Governor's Office. According to the navy's lion's words, the national military expenditure is not enough for them to spend. What else can the army eat? Should the infancy Air Force continue to invest in the research and development of movable hot air balloons?

"The North Sea Fleet wants twenty Dafu ships, one hundred Xiaofu ships, eight hundred other auxiliary ships, and thousands of fire ships... deployed on the east coast of North Korea..." You Shiwei looked at the numbers on the paper, looked up at Shen Tingyang sitting opposite him, and smiled bitterly: "Du Shen, you can't ask for a price in the sky without sincerity, right?"

Shen Tingyang shook his head and said, "You Du may not know. Now I am in a disadvantage in the naval battle. The basic tactic is to siege enemy ships on all sides and release fire ships to set fire, so fire ships are actually consumables, just like the projectiles of your army."

You Shiwei's face turned dark: "We have to pick up all the bullets we shot."

Shen Tingyang continued: "Yes, but unfortunately the fire ship was gone after it burned, and it was impossible to pick it up." He said: "The Dafu Ship is the main battleship of our army, but the number of artillery is far less than that of the Thai Ship, so he can only win by relying on the number of ships. According to Your Majesty's two strong principles..."

"Yes, where is the Thai ship east of North Korea?" Yu Shiwei showed disdain to see through the lies.

"It's true that there is no, but only the Dafu ship can carry enough warriors." Chen Tingyang said: "Otherwise, the Japanese pirates will come to harass them today and sway around tomorrow. Don't we need to go straight to Huanglong?"

"This matter," said You Shiwei, "it can be left to the Army."

"If the Army wants to go there, it must be carried by a large ship."

"In short, this number is too outrageous. Moreover, the North Sea Fleet is east of North Korea. It is the East Sea Fleet that defends our country's Liaohai. The East Sea Fleet is... the East Sea Fleet?"

"Yes, from Liaohai to Zhoushan, they are all defense areas of the East China Sea Fleet." Chen Tingyang said: "Because this area is mainly used to deal with pirates, the number of Dafu ships can be smaller, but the smallfu ships still have to add some."

You Shiwei knew very little on the sea boat. He continued to look down, but he saw that there was a Taiwan Strait fleet from Zhoushan to Taiwan, with even fewer items. Finally, his eyebrows relieved a little.

"The Taiwan Strait Fleet supports the East China Sea Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet, so it mainly carries and has weak firepower." Chen Tingyang estimated You Shiwei's reading speed and explained in time.

When You Shiwei saw the South China Sea Fleet, he took a breath: "Duke Chen, why is the South China Sea Fleet so big!"

There are hundreds of big blessing ships, three hundred small blessing ships, more than a thousand auxiliary ships of various types, and 30,000 sailors...

"If this is the case, the Ming Dynasty will not do anything else." You Shiwei put down the Navy's report: "We should probably know that every tael of silver is hard to come by when we are vying for budget with the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel.

"The army now spends a small amount of money to do big things, such as the issue of recruitment. Shen Deng also knows that His Majesty has always emphasized elite soldiers. Now, due to the situation, we use Koreans in North Korea and Mongolians in Mongolia, which are not considered formal soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. It is the same nature as the thieves who broke into the rebels and conquered refugees, and the Eastern Barbarians use coats! How sad!"

You Shiwei said, heartbroken, pressing his hands heavily on the table and unable to raise his head.

"I can understand," Chen Tingyang comforted softly, "This plan is not to be completed this year, and the old navy ships can replenish the South China Sea Fleet first. There are enemy countries there, so we must be cautious. Other places will slow down first, at most, let Xiaoxiao be arrogant for a few days. And even if as Yu Tu said, the navy is only responsible for transshipment and landing on the landing of the army, the ship must be built. Could it be that the army brothers will swim in the water and fight?"

"Our ship is not as good as the Thais, so why can't we improve the warship? If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools." You Shiwei changed his angle.

Chen Tingyang smiled and took out another thick scroll from the sleeve of the official robe: "It's OK."

You Shiwei was stunned and felt that he had fallen into a bottomless trap.

The scroll is the scientific research plan of the steam engine and the iron-armored ship, which is also a transaction that needs to continue to throw silver into it, but does not know when it will be possible to see the profits.

Moreover, this kind of iron-armored ship is like a steam engine rusher before. The Army itself has been clamoring for insufficient funds, and the Ministry of Rites is unwilling to continue to bear all scientific research expenses. Now the Navy has stepped in again.

You Shiwei felt a little hurt.
