Jin Feng patted Zheng Chiyuan on the shoulder and was about to continue talking when he saw a ship approaching the navy flagship. There were two rows of men standing on the ship, all of whom looked extremely strong.
Tie Hui and Zuo Feifei immediately became nervous, and the female workers also grasped the handles of the muskets.
"Don't be nervous, they are our own people!"
Zheng Chiyuan quickly explained: "Sir, they are the sailors I selected for the iron-clad ship. General Tu thought you wanted to review them on the shore. After I went to the dock, General Tu let them go ashore.
I just went to let the people know about this and arranged for them to come back to the ship."
Even so, Tie Hammer did not dare to agree to let the sailors board the ship. It was not until he saw Da Qiang and his bodyguard following him in a speedboat and nodding towards him that Tie Hammer finally nodded, and then the bodyguard guarding the ship's ladder put down
Rope ladder.
Since Zheng Chiyuan has sworn surrender, the Donghai Navy is naturally within the scope of Jinchuan Daily's propaganda.
However, due to the long distance, newspapers in Sichuan and Sichuan are delivered once a day, while in Donghai Navy and Shipyard, newspapers are delivered by speedboat every five days.
But this does not affect the propaganda efforts of Jinchuan Daily.
Every evening after training, the navy clerk would read the newspaper from five days ago before dinner.
This is also the most anticipated moment of the day for many sailors.
Through newspapers, they can learn about major events happening thousands of miles away.
As the actual controller of Sichuan and Shu, Jin Feng defeated two invasions by Dongman and Dangxiang some time ago. He is also a frequent guest in Jinchuan Daily.
In addition to the war, a series of other measures implemented by Jin Feng in Sichuan and Sichuan were also the focus of Jinchuan Daily propaganda.
Therefore, there are reports about Jin Feng in Jinchuan Daily almost every day.
Many navy soldiers had followed Jin Feng to Yuguan City and had seen Jin Feng leading troops. They had a feeling of closeness to Jin Feng. In addition, the continuous publicity of Jinchuan Daily caused the vast majority of navy soldiers to
Worship Jin Feng.
When Zheng Chiyuan said that Jin Feng wanted to select some people to participate in a secret mission, almost all the navy soldiers signed up.
Zheng Chiyuan also attached great importance to this matter. Originally, he planned to assign it directly, but later found out that Jin Feng and Hong Taoping were busy with Zhenyuan No. 3, so he changed his mind and decided to learn from the escort assessment method and select the finalists through a competition.
In this way, not only can it be fair and just, and all the navy soldiers will be convinced, but the selected soldiers will also be the most elite.
The sailors thought that the rope ladder was a test from Jin Feng, and they all wanted to show off their skills in front of Jin Feng, so they rushed to the rope ladder and climbed up.
Soon, dozens of sailors stood on the deck in front of Jin Feng.
Jin Feng was now a veteran who had led soldiers several times, and he had a fairly good understanding of the psychology of the soldiers. He could guess why the sailors did what they did by looking at their movements.
In this case, Jin Feng was not stingy with his praise. He extended his thumb and praised: "As expected of the best ones selected from thousands of navy troops, they are all good!"
Sure enough, when Jin Feng said this, all the navy soldiers straightened their backs and raised their heads high.
"General Zheng, have you told everyone about the mission?" Jin Feng turned to Zheng Chiyuan and asked.
"No," Zheng Chiyuan replied: "But I told everyone that this mission has a narrow escape from death, and everyone has signed a life and death certificate. No one will back down!"
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
All the navy soldiers shouted in unison!
Dakang valued culture over martial arts. Although they were navy, they also knew that Dakang had almost no power to fight back against the attacks of Dangxiang and the Eastern Barbarians over the years.
But when they followed Zheng Chiyuan to reinforce Yuguan City, they saw the battle between the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau and the Zhenyuan Army, and they no longer had this view in their hearts.
The battle at Yuguan City was so brutal that many companies were sacrificed as part of their organization.
But even so, the bodyguards and female soldiers did not retreat at all, and waited until reinforcements arrived.
As a soldier, the navy soldiers were greatly shocked!
Jin Feng was also very satisfied with the morale of the navy soldiers and said loudly: "This mission is very dangerous. I can't guarantee that everyone will come back alive. What I can guarantee is that if any of you die, your
The family will definitely provide compensation according to the escort’s highest standards!
And whether you can come back alive or not, your names will be remembered by history and praised by future generations forever!"
As soon as Jin Feng finished speaking, the breathing of all the sailors on the opposite side suddenly became rapid.
Officials want their names to go down in history, and soldiers don't want to die in an unknown way.
In the old days of Dakang, an unknown number of soldiers died every year. Most of the soldiers died in battle and no one collected their bodies. They could only expose their bodies in the wilderness and be eaten by wild beasts.
By serving as soldiers with Jin Feng, it is impossible for each of them to leave a name in official history, but at least someone will collect the body after death, the family can receive pensions, and their names will be recorded in the battle report of this battle, and they will also be
Engraved on the tombstone in the Martyrs Cemetery.
In fact, the sailors are very satisfied with this kind of treatment.
Unexpectedly, Jin Feng actually said that their names would remain in the official history!
For sailors, this is no longer just about honoring their ancestors. In the words of the famous crosstalk actor Zhang Xuefeng, this is like the ancestral grave being on fire!
If someone else had said this, they would have been scoffed at by the sailors, but since it was Jin Feng who said this, no one would doubt it.
Because they all participated in the Battle of Yuguan City, they paid more attention to reports on Yuguan City after the war.
Through the Jinchuan Daily report, they learned that the sacrificed bodyguards and female soldiers were all rated as martyrs. Not only did their families receive pensions, but the Ninth Princess also personally gave instructions to build a martyrs cemetery for them and wrote a personal
The memorial text.
More than half of the surviving bodyguards and female soldiers were promoted, and some were even promoted two or three levels at once. One company was beaten until only one female soldier was left. In order to retain the company's designation, Jin Feng personally made a decision
Instructions were given to promote this female soldier to company commander.
The deeds of this female soldier were also compiled into a play by the Jinchuan Song and Dance Troupe, which was performed by the Navy.
Jin Feng had already done what he promised them, so the sailors didn't think Jin Feng would lie to them, but they were more curious about what the mission was.
So a brave sailor raised his hand and asked: "Mr. Jin, can I ask what our mission is?"
Hearing this, the other sailors also raised their heads and looked at Jin Feng.
Jin Feng thought for a moment, looked around again, and found that no one else was there, so he said: "An expert once told me that there is a new continent with rich products thousands of miles away in the sea. I am going to build one."
