Except for Alfonso and Wang Hanzhong who were sentenced to death, those Franchise men who were to be beheaded and made public, no matter how they struggled and begged for mercy, and how they were crying, they were powerless. The last row of people pulled up, and the swords together, and the heads fell directly to the ground.

Watching the companions die one by one, for the survivors, every day is a mental torture. Under this kind of fear, many people have mentally collapsed. Those who have mentally collapsed are not polite and have suffered their lives directly in prison. The remaining seven or eight hundred people finally met a Portuguese-speaking Han man who lived in South China. He has since come back to contact with some Franchise men, and now he has become Ye Chunqiu's right-hand assistant.

The man was named Zhang Chuan. He went to the prison under Ye Chunqiu's order and then read Ye Chunqiu's order.

In fact, most of the people left behind are sailors. From now on, these sailors will have a chance to make meritorious service. Their mission is very simple. They will take their apprentices to sail the boat. All apprentices are newly recruited, most of whom are southerners, familiar with water, and are mostly childish.

Therefore, Zhenguo Mansion wanted to recruit a new group of naval personnel. Once the notice was released, the responders were like crucian carp from across the river. Now the new army in Zhenguo is very famous and resounding throughout the country. In the past, scholars were ashamed of joining the army. Now they were able to join the new army in Zhenguo, which became a matter of glorious honor for the ancestors. Now it is not just Tong Sheng, but even scholars are willing to come to apply. So once the local local officials know, they still have to guard the chief and the chief of armor to come to celebrate with them.

The scholars who are famous and famous are more glorious than ordinary people. They have generous treatment, decent status, and many hidden things. For example, in the local area, when they learn that someone from Zhenguo New Army had joined, ordinary people dare not deceive each other. Under various reasons, the Zhenguo New Army quickly selected 800 people, and the navy of Zhenguo Mansion was officially established.

Although it was established, it still needs to be trained by the new army in Zhenguo. It takes at least three months of training before it can be divided into the navy camp. Zhang Chuan also recruited a group of students and began to let them learn Portuguese.

This is Ye Chunqiu's plan. The so-called ten-year army and a hundred-year navy. Because of the Ming Dynasty's national policy of banning the sea, most of the people in the entire Ming Dynasty knew nothing about ships except those smugglers.

Being behind is not scary, it is nothing more than learning. If you want to learn, it is better to stand on the shoulders of a giant than to work behind closed doors.

Now that the ship has, at least for the time being, the prototype of a navy can be built, and personnel are the most troublesome. The navy needs are very good. It is not that illiterate is not capable of such a job, but if you have read a book, you can get twice the result with half the effort. Fortunately, the new army of Zhenguo has now gained enough reputation, and recruiting personnel is not a problem. As for the master, they can only be the sailors of these Franchise machines. How to familiarize themselves with the skills of the helm, how to observe the wind direction, how to determine the direction, and where to learn, there are too many places to learn.

Except for the sailors, the rest were all cut off their heads. This was the proposal in Ye Chunqiu's memorial to Zhu Houzhao. Those Portuguese officers and soldiers were of no benefit to the Ming Dynasty, so they were used to kill chickens and scare monkeys. The remaining sailors temporarily gave them the opportunity to watch the results. They are now prisoners, while Zhang Chuan is responsible for cultivating a group of talents who are familiar with Portuguese, and they can be translated on the ship at that time. In the future, these water teachers and students will concentrate on learning the knowledge of navigation. However, these scholars are too weak. After three months of training by the recruits, there will be no problem with physical strength and perseverance.

The task assigned by Ye Chunqiu is very simple, that is, learn and learn hard.

Learning from the barbarians to control the barbarians is still effective in this era. Perhaps the Ming Dynasty was not behind the Franji people in other aspects in this era, and even in many places, it even had an advantage, but at least in terms of navigation, it was thousands of miles away from them. If you want to make up for this lesson, it is the only opportunity and shortcut now.

In terms of resources, Ye Chunqiu's inclination towards the navy was also huge. In addition to setting up a special shipyard in the research institute, the Ming Dynasty had been in a century and was unable to move forward in the construction of ships. Ye Chunqiu naturally did not expect these shipmakers to have any real materials. They are not starting to build ships, but starting with the repair of ships. The maintenance tasks of more than 30 ships will be handed over to them for later maintenance and maintenance.

By repairing the ship, they would probably understand the structure of warships in this era first. Next, Ye Chunqiu might have to start building the ship.

These prisoners were in a complicated mood. They were lucky to survive, but they also worried that they might be serving these "butchers" in the future. They thought it was a crime of treason, so most of them were in a low mood.

Ye Chunqiu naturally had a way to let them show their true abilities. More than 800 people were divided into four groups for detention. Near Tianjin, Ye Chunqiu would build four docks, and the four groups each took their own people to teach and teach the knowledge of the ship. At that time, all students would take notes after the translation. If there were some differences in the "experience" among the four groups, or if the knowledge taught was in conflict with each other, the navy would catch the person and behead them in front of the same group of people.

This eliminates the possibility of someone making trouble in secret. Ye Chunqiu is not willing to hide his own interests or deliberately impart false information. He is now eager to create a navy, at least this navy is willing to support both the palace and the cabinet.

The support of the cabinet was not surprising. After the appearance of Franc, everyone was worried about Franc's next revenge.

Are the Florians really willing to fail? The reason why the new army of the country was able to win this time was because they expected the enemy to take the lead and calculated that they would land in Tianjin, so they deliberately let them go deep into the inland and gathered to annihilate them. But what if there is a Florian fleet next time?

At the end of the month, the discussion on this was particularly fierce. Ye Chunqiu participated in this massive discussion. He listened as Duke Zhenguo and listened carefully to the requests of several officials of the Ministry of War. In order to increase coastal defense, the Ming Dynasty obviously had two plans, one was inland defense and the other was to establish a naval army.

Inland defense is almost a fantasy. Some ministers even stood up and made a comeback without waiting for others to react, Ye Chunqiu laughed first.
