Everyone also excitedly called Mr. Zhou! Although Liu had been mentally prepared for a long time, he still felt a little disappointed in his heart, but when he thought about the bright future of China and the Black Flag Army, he felt relieved.
Already.
Zhou Yu stepped onto the high platform full of pride, and took a step forward with a serious expression, OK! Since General Liu is so proud, I won't be polite to you.
I now announce that the designation of the Black Flag Army will be canceled and changed to the Chinese Loyal and Brave Army, and the flag will be changed to the five-star red flag, which means that we will use our blood to create a bright future for China where foreign countries come to worship me. The black 7-star flag will be used as the marching flag of the troops.
.
In addition, I will teach you a set of military boxing. The purpose of this set of boxing is to kill the enemy with one move. While talking, Zhou Yu also demonstrated the military boxing of later generations of troops on the spot.
After performing the military style boxing, Zhou Yu issued an order;
General Liu Yongfu will become the commander of the first brigade of our Chinese Loyal and Brave Army. I will create the first navy of our army, named the Pacific Fleet. General Liu Yongfu will be the first commander of the Pacific Fleet.
As the commander of the Zhongyong Army, I invite everyone to applaud. Thunderous applause rang out in the playground.
After Liu Yongfu's introduction, Zhou Yu knew that there were many generals on the stage;
Yang Zhuen, who is known as a wise man, Huang Shouzhong, Wu Fengdian, who are known as fierce generals, Liu Chengliang, the adopted son of Liu Yongfu, the commander of the guard camp, and Zhang Long, a martial arts instructor.
Zhou Yu then re-divided the troops. He classified more than 5,000 people into a brigade. The specific distribution is as follows:
Zhou Yu: The supreme leader of the Chinese Loyal and Brave Army and the principal of the soon-to-be-opened Whampoa Military Academy.
Liu Yongfu: First Brigade, Brigade Commander.
Yang Zhuen, Wu Fengdian and Huang Shouzhong are the leaders of the first, second and third regiments
Zhang Long: Commander of the Naval Battalion. His unit is trained as a naval force, mainly shipwrights and seamen.
Liu Chengliang: Commander of the Independent Guard Battalion.
More than 5,000 people were reorganized. The battalion commanders, company commanders, platoon leaders, and squad leaders of each regiment will be nominated by the commanders of each regiment, and will be finally confirmed by Zhou Yu and Liu Yongfu.
The Juyi Hall in Liujiazhai was converted into a temporary Whampoa Military Academy Hall.
An area was planned near the stockade: a power plant and a blast furnace steel plant were built near the water, a cement factory and a red brick factory were built behind the hillside, a weaving factory, and chemical laboratories, electronics, machinery, engines, etc.
A number of laboratories, a large machinery factory, and a gun factory.
However, there are no conditions yet. Let’s put up the shelves first and wait for the machines and personnel to start work as soon as they arrive.
Zhou Yu sent the professional books he wrote to Liu Yongfu and others, asking them to copy and study them one by one. At the same time, he asked them to train them in new knowledge while sending people to recruit laborers, technicians, shipwrights and Chinese at high wages at home and abroad.
The Black Flag Army had robbed wealthy households and raided bandits' lairs for many years. The U.S. dollars, pounds, gold and silver they had accumulated were equivalent to more than 1.63 million taels of silver, and they severely suppressed the country bumpkin Zhou Yu.
There is indeed a way to make money by robbing wealthy households and raiding bandits' lairs. Should we do it more often in the future?
But Zhou Yu was not polite. He took out the money and used it for base construction, purchasing experiments, machinery, production materials and paying staff wages. If you don't have money, who will do it with you!
If you don't know how to use money, you can't make money! An unscrupulous person is making excuses for his lavish spending.
Whether they are workers, soldiers or technicians, the minimum wage for craftsmen is more than 20 taels of silver, which is considered a very high wage in this society, Zhou Yu also knows.
But otherwise it will not be able to develop quickly.
Now Zhou Yu feels that there is a shortage of talents, money, food and resources. If you don't become a master, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are!
The next day was the first military class for all commanders of the Zhongyong Army, and the lecturer was Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yuzhan sat on the simple lecture platform of the newly constructed Huangpu Military Academy.
Facing the backbone of the loyal and brave army gathered below, he said loudly and energetically: Good morning, classmates!
I know that some of you were once green forest heroes, some of you went to private schools, and most of you were commoners who used farm tools to farm.
I don’t care what you did before or what bad things you did in the past!
However, from now on, you must firmly remember that you are a member of the loyal and brave army. The so-called loyal and brave army of China has its own responsibility to protect the fertile soil of China and the people of China.
Be a Chinese revolutionary soldier with ideals and aspirations, not a warlord or a bandit...
Here I have written down the three major disciplines of the army and eight points of attention for everyone:
Three major disciplines:
First, follow the command in all actions
Second, don’t take a single step from the masses
Third, all seizures must be returned to the public
Eight things to note:
First, hitting and swearing are not allowed
Second, don’t tease women
Third, protect the people’s crops
Fourth, it is not allowed to mistreat captured soldiers
Fifth, if you borrow something from someone and use it, remember to return it.
Sixth, respect the masses and have a harmonious attitude when speaking.
Seventh, if something is damaged, compensation will not be less than half the price.
Eighth, the buying and selling prices must be fair, and public buying and selling must not be overbearing.
Everyone of you must consciously abide by disciplines, supervise each other and never violate them. What we want to do is to be soldiers loved by the Chinese people, not warlords and ruffians who oppress the Chinese people. If there are any violations, I will severely punish them. Remember.
Are you staying?
Remember! Principal! Everyone replied depressingly, there are so many ugly rules in the military, how can you not be depressed!
In the future, you will all be the mainstay of our Chinese army and the heroic defenders of China’s vast territory. You must keep in mind that it is the fertile soil of China that has raised you, and what you give them in return is your bravery and loyalty, not selfishness.
In the future, when the descendants of China look back at history, they will suddenly discover that there are still national heroes like you who have silently contributed to China. Even if you die on the battlefield against the enemy, you will live forever like the national heroes Zheng Chenggong and Yue Fei.
The people will always remember you.
Do you want to be China's national hero?
Yes, we are the sons and daughters of China, and we want to be the heroes of China! This time everyone answered in unison. Who among the proud Chinese people doesn’t want their reputation to last forever?
Report to the principal, I have questions to ask! Liu Chengliang stood up with a smile and took the lead in asking questions.
You ask! Zhou Yu’s attitude is kind and his tone is cordial.
Do we have military pay? If so, how much?
Not only do you have military pay, but you also have honors. The lowest military pay for your officers and soldiers is fifty taels of silver. Those with military merits also receive rewards and honors.
If you sacrifice your life, not only will your family receive a large amount of pension, but your names and deeds will be engraved on the martyrs’ monuments that will be built in your hometown and the national capital for future generations to admire.
.
You will be the pride and heroes of all the Chinese people. On the contrary, if you do anything that is disrespectful to your comrades, compatriots, or the Chinese nation, then you will also be remembered in the annals of the country's history.
The ambitious Yang Zhuen also stood up and asked:
Principal, when can we overthrow the rule of the Manchu Dynasty?
After we overthrow the government of the Qing Dynasty, what kind of government will we establish?
Okay! You can ask this, which proves that you are really thinking.
That will have to wait until we have a large number of talents of all kinds, a powerful army with a number of giant ships and cannons, enough money and food, and enough resources for the development of China.
By then, we can liberate the entire Chinese people and overthrow the decadent Qing Dynasty without any bloodshed.
Then, everyone raised topics that they were interested in, and Zhou Yu answered them one by one.
When the lecture was about to end, Zhou Yu asked them to conduct a census of all Chinese people in the base.
The technicians, craftsmen, population, intellectuals, overseas students, weapons and ammunition, etc. must be registered.
Those who want to join the army and meet the conditions will be admitted into the army. Those who do not want to work in the army will be paid retirement pensions and let them leave the army. Care will also be given to those with other specialties. It is necessary to maintain the purity of the army and the unity of the local area. .
After Zhou Yu left, there was a low-pitched discussion in the military academy. Zhou Yu smiled happily. He knew that these officers were thinking and discussing, and they all had goals and ideas for progress. His hard work was not in vain.
After returning from the military academy, Zhou Yu started preparing to manufacture his own steam engines. Since steam engine production lines were not sold to private individuals in various countries, Zhou Yu decided to make enough food and clothing by himself.
Recently, Zhou Yu used the purchased materials and with the help of technicians and blacksmiths selected from the census, he built a simple single-acting steam engine with a swing cylinder.
It is mainly composed of cylinder, base, piston, crank connecting rod mechanism, slide valve steam distribution mechanism, speed regulating mechanism and flywheel. The cylinder and base are stationary parts.
The new steam from the boiler enters the slide valve chamber through the main steam valve and the throttle valve, and is controlled by the slide valve to alternately enter the left or right side of the cylinder, pushing the piston to move...
After Zhou Yu and the others' unremitting efforts, the steam engine was finally built. However, Zhou Yu found that the total efficiency of this steam engine could not reach 8%, nor could it reach the thermal efficiency of the best condensing steam engine.
He felt more and more depressed. He had rich scientific and technological knowledge and 80% of materials, but the steam engine he built was not as good as that of 40 years ago. Think about the pig's feet that others traveled through time, and used giant ships and cannons. It was as easy as drinking boiled water. , why is it so difficult to take your turn?
Hey! We don’t have precision machinery! We just can’t do it by hand!
It’s better to go to Europe and the United States later to fool around! Zhou Yu decided not to do it for the time being.
Just when Zhou Yu was making up his mind, his guard Tian Ergou (at his request) came in and told him that Brigadier Liu asked him to go back.
Later, when Zhou Yu was free, he taught Tian Ergou some knowledge of later generations. Now Tian Ergou has made great progress in all aspects.
When he and Tian Ergou returned to their room from the laboratory, they found Liu Yongfu talking and laughing with a very capable, fair and slightly fat man in his 30s. The atmosphere was very good. Zhou Yu probably Liu Yongfu's friend.
Finding that Zhou Yu was back, Liu Yongfu stood up and introduced the two people with a smile. Come on, Commander Zhou. Let me introduce you. This is my good brother, the martial arts master Huang Dayun from Foshan, Guangdong. Brother Huang Feihong .
Brother Dayun is the military martial arts coach I secretly hired. He was invited to help me on March 2nd, but he was a step late. He just arrived today. I heard that the military commander is very good at martial arts, and he wants to compete with you.
