Chapter 77 Yazhou Working Group (1)

At this moment, the rumbling sound of artillery came from another shooting range not far away. Luo Shengdong's expression changed slightly when he heard the sound of artillery. Tao Dong saw it and invited him to visit the artillery range.

This was exactly what Luo Shengdong wanted, and he immediately agreed. He really wanted to see if the Haihan people's artillery-making technology was as exquisite as their matchlock-making skills.

When they arrived at the artillery range, the first thing that caught Luo Shengdong's attention was not the artillery being tested, but not far from the dark artillery, a group of militia soldiers recruited by the Haihan people were operating it meticulously.

A wooden cannon of the same size.

Luo Shengdong only took two glances and already saw that the wooden cannon was just a look-alike and could not actually be fired. But after a closer look, he found that these soldiers were cleaning and loading like the Haihan people.

Every step of the launch was meticulous, and even everyone's position and range of movements seemed to be fixed. After Luo Shengdong thought about it for a while, he understood the profound meaning of the Haihan people's actions.

Although Luo Shengdong has never operated a cannon, he can see that this is clearly the Haihan people who are training indigenous gunners according to a strict operating method. Luo Shengdong really wants to curse now, but the Haihan people say it nicely.

, just to form a militia to assist in public security, but what about the militia that was agreed upon? You must know that Yazhou City is not equipped with cast-iron artillery, only a few copper-haired cannons and French cannons, but the Haihan people who have just arrived are not equipped with cast-iron artillery.

Even the artillery has been trained. The artillery and the musketeers, with such weapons, can crush the regular army. Can it still be regarded as a militia?

With a loud bang, the muscles on Luo Shengdong's face also trembled. It is difficult for people without special training to remain calm in the face of such a loud noise. Luo Shengdong tried his best to barely be able to do it physically.

Not moving. However, the group of indigenous gunners continued to follow the instructor's instructions as if nothing was wrong, imitating the movements of the Haihan gunner next to them, and operating the wooden cannon simultaneously.

After Tao Donglai and his party arrived, the artillery crew that was testing the fire also stopped. The person leading the artillery crew here was Yan Chujie. Since the opening of the shooting range, he has never left at all, and he has stayed here all day long.

Later, when the new recruit camp was located nearby, Yan Chujie became even busier. He helped with military training in the morning, tested weapons in the afternoon, and in the evening had to take time to teach ideological and political classes to the recruits who were already proficient in Chinese. Yan Chujie specially asked the recruits for this purpose.

The Executive Committee submitted the application and temporarily suspended the work of the Executive Committee members to concentrate on finishing the new military camp and weapons testing. Therefore, when Luo Shengdong visited Victory Port today, no one went to notify him to come and receive him.

"Old Yan, you have worked hard!" When Tao Donglai saw Yan Chujie, whose face was smoked by gunfire and looked like a tabby cat, he felt a burst of emotion in his heart and quickly stepped forward to hold his hands.

"Serve the Executive Committee!" Yan Chujie joked with a smile.

"How is the progress now?" Tao Donglai asked.

Yan Chujie took a big sip from the water bottle handed to him by the militiamen next to him, wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "Currently, the land-based firing procedures for the 6-pound gun have basically been completed. The past two days have been mainly about training militia gunners. Over there in the wood workshop.

The ship’s gun mount has not been completed yet, and the next step is to wait for testing on the ship.”

"This cannon... still needs to be loaded on the ship?" Luo Shengdong couldn't help but interjected.

"It must be loaded onto the ship." Tao Donglai answered him seriously: "Mr. Luo Ba, I wonder if you have ever thought about what it would be like to sail on the sea with a sailboat equipped with hundreds of cannons?"

Luo Shengdong opened his mouth wide and couldn't even utter a word. There are hundreds of cannons, isn't that just a hedgehog?

However, the shock he received did not end there. Tao Donglai continued: "I wonder if you have ever thought about the power of many sailing ships like this forming a huge fleet on the sea?"

Luo Shengdong murmured: "Impossible, how could there be such a terrifying thing in the world?"

Tao Donglai shook his head and said: "Unfortunately, there are already countries in the world that have such a fleet, and there is more than one country. The Netherlands, France, and the United Kingdom, these countries all have the kind of fleet I am talking about. In the fourth year of the Apocalypse, Fujian

Governor Nan Juyi raised troops to drive out the Dutch entrenched in Penghu. Have you heard of this?"

Luo Shengdong nodded and said: "I saw it in the newspaper that was copied from Di'an. The Fujian navy won a great victory. The Dutch defeated Penghu and withdrew from Taiwan Island."

"What a great victory!" Tao Donglai sighed: "The Fujian Navy dispatched 200 warships and tens of thousands of troops to deal with the Netherlands, which had only 13 warships and more than 900 people. It was a full defeat.

The battle was not defeated for eight months. In the end, it was only through negotiation that the Dutch, who were out of ammunition and food, were able to withdraw from Penghu. The warships used by the Dutch were very similar to the gunboats I described. Mr. Luo Ba

, can such a result be considered a complete victory?"

Luo Shengdong blushed and said: "There are many incomplete details in the newspaper. I don't know the details of the Battle of Penghu. But I think this Dutch bandit is already the most ferocious among the Western barbarians. He relies on the strong boats and powerful guns."

It’s just a momentary show of prestige.”

Tao Donglai shook his head and said: "The Dutch first went to Manila in Luzon in the south, trying to occupy the port there, but they were beaten out by the Francois, and then they went to Penghu. Mr. Luo Ba, the ships are strong and the guns are sharp.

The Netherlands is not the only country that has this problem, and what the Ming Dynasty insists on now is just to have more ships and more people, and to trade lives for victory. This time there are thirteen ships, and they can barely make a tie. If they come next time, there will be one hundred and thirty.

There is a boat, so what should we do?”

Without waiting for Luo Shengdong to say anything, Tao Donglai pointed to the cannon in the distance and said: "We made these cannons not to attack the city, but to defend the territory for the Han people. We will take back what the Ming Dynasty lost.

We will do our best to guard the territory that the Ming Dynasty cannot protect in the future. Our guns, cannons, and soldiers are all born to open up territories for the Han people, and they will all fight for the Han people to stand firm in the world!"

Luo Shengdong felt his ears buzzing because Tao Donglai's words shocked him so much. Before that, he had always been a little unclear about the purpose of this group of Haihan people.

In the eyes of money-seeking merchants, they care about gains and losses in everything, and they are like rebels who covet the world, making weapons secretly and recruiting militia. But Tao Donglai's words just now unintentionally solved the confusion that had been in his mind for a long time -

-It turns out that these Haihan people have such lofty aspirations, but I, Luo Shengdong, underestimated them before. At this moment, no matter whether others believe it or not, Luo Shengdong believes it anyway.

While Luo Shengdong was shocked to death, other onlookers quietly gave Tao Donglai a thumbs up, expressing their sincere admiration for his outstanding verbal skills. Tao Donglai also had a look on his face.

Complacency, very satisfied with the improvisation just now.

After Luo Shengdong opened this knot in his heart, he seemed to be more pleased with these Haihan people. Thinking that he no longer had to maintain a hostile relationship with these dangerous people, Luo Shengdong felt relaxed and clasped his fists towards Tao Donglai.

He saluted and said, "Sir Tao has high aspirations and cares about the world. Luo really admires him!"

Tao Donglai returned the favor with a smile: "When our Haihan fleet sails across the ocean one day, I will definitely invite Commander Luo Ba to come on board for a visit. Of course, by then he will no longer be the commander, but at least he will be a garrison or a staff officer. If

If you can achieve military exploits, it is not impossible to be promoted to the rank of Commander-in-Chief."

After the two praised each other, they ended the pleasant meeting. Under the careful arrangements of Schneider and Ren Liang, all the goods that needed to be sent to Yazhou were loaded on the ship brought by Luo Shengdong that afternoon. However,

Luo Shengdong did not leave Victory Port that day. At Tao Donglai's request, he had to wait until the next day before setting off with the working group dispatched by the Executive Committee to Yazhou City.

The next morning, Luo Shengdong met at the pier the working group that would return to Yazhou with him this time. This working group that will be stationed in Yazhou City has a total of seven people, including the Office of the Executive Committee, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs

The Ministry of Commerce, the Communications Group of the Ministry of Information Industry, the Medical Group of the Logistics Department each have one person, and the Military and Police Department has three persons.

The leader of the working group is Malike from the executive committee. He is a 28-year-old single man. Before time travel, he worked as the deputy director of a county investment promotion office, which is also a promising job. However, this person has never been willing to settle for the status quo.

, and the unit assigned many new people with backgrounds to come in, Malico, who felt increasingly pressured to survive, relied on some business resources, so he simply resigned and went to Guangzhou. By chance, he met Bai Kesi, and then he was pulled into the Cross-Travel Group.

.

After time travel, Maliko was assigned to the Executive Committee Office to engage in administrative work because of his previous work experience. The daily work of the Executive Committee Office is to assign specific tasks to various departments based on the decisions of the Executive Committee, and at the same time collect and organize feedback from each department.

This information is provided for the Executive Committee to refer to when making decisions. This department mainly functions as an information channel connecting the previous and the next, and also has a certain command and coordination role.

Maliko used to be a civil servant at the deputy section level, but now he is not even a member of the executive committee. He is not even as good as Menghe, an otaku with a combat power of only 5. There is still some psychological gap. This time the executive committee decided to send out

The working group is based in Yazhou, and Ma Like was the first person to take the initiative to sign up after receiving the news. His idea is very practical, and he currently continues to stay in his post in Sanya. Due to the nature of the work, it is difficult to make a decision in the short term.

What impressive achievements, instead of living like this, it is better to go to Yazhou and give it a try. Although the environment in Yazhou is dangerous to a certain extent, there are also many opportunities. As long as you do your job well in Yazhou,

It is outstanding, so it is reasonable for it to attract the attention of the Executive Committee and even other time-travelers.

Incorporating Yazhou City into the jurisdiction of the Executive Committee is an established goal in the development plan formulated by the Executive Committee, and achieving this goal is only a matter of time. Malik believes that if he can play a role in achieving this goal

The acceleration effect is a great achievement for the entire Time Travel Group, because it means that the Time Travel Group will no longer have any opponents in the entire southern part of Hainan Island. If such a great achievement can be achieved, then one year later

If the executive committee is re-elected, I will have a great chance to occupy a top position in this highest authority.
Chapter completed!
