In addition to Jinshanwei, many people from the surrounding four townships and Bali came to Lujiazhuang to "work" and became the first batch of working class.

The wharf built in the workshop area has been further expanded, various raw materials have been purchased, and various industrial products have been sold, and the wharf area has turned into a big market.

Fortunately, there are soldiers under his command to maintain order, and the busy Lujiazhuang is still in order.

In terms of military construction, Lu Li's headquarters did not continue to expand.

The soldiers stationed at Jinshanwei are still conducting strict military training on the thousand recruits selected by Jinshanwei, and the training progress is not bad.

These Jinshanwei recruits had already been booked by Lu Li.

Time passed day by day, and all work was carried out in an orderly manner.

By mid-July, the reward for the previous "Baiyangkou Great Victory" finally came down.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor's edict said: The Japanese pirate Xiao Xiao made chaos, and Shenzhou has its own heroes. Here is Lu Li of Songjiang Prefecture, who personally took the arrow and stone, and beheaded the head of the Japanese... Ten pieces of brocade, rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, and awarded the commander of Jinshanwei. Here it is!"

An imperial decree came, and Lu Li appointed Jinshanwei Commander.Liu Bin, the original commander of Jinshanwei, was replaced by Baoshanwei as the commander.

In this way, before Lu Li finished infiltrating Jinshanwei, Jinshanwei's surname was already Lu.

Commander Jinshanwei, a third-rank military officer, is already a high-ranking official in terms of rank.

However... In the environment of the Ming Dynasty, where the gentlemen were noble and the military was cheap, the third-rank military officer had to bow his head in front of the seventh-rank magistrate.

Fortunately, Lu Li still has the status of a scholar, at least he doesn't have to kneel down.

"Congratulations, my lord, for being promoted to commander!"

On the day the decree was issued, Tong Zhilin and Jinshanwei's other two thousand households hurried to Lujiazhuang, presented a generous gift, and came to meet the new immediate boss.

"Everyone came just in time!"

After Lu Li took over the Golden Mountain Guard, some actions that were inconvenient before can be done in a legitimate way.

In the military camp opened outside Lujiazhuang, Lu Li called all military officers from more than [-] households of Jinshanwei and held a meeting.

"According to operational needs, this officer has decided to make organizational adjustments to Jinshanwei."

"The first adjustment is that the soldiers are out of production. From now on, Jinshan guards will no longer be responsible for agricultural production tasks, and will only conduct round-the-clock military training. Officers will no longer manage agricultural production matters, and all agricultural experts appointed by the official will be in charge. .”

"The second adjustment is that Jinshanwei will set up a staff department, a logistics department, and an equipment department. Officers from households with more than a thousand households will join the staff department."

"The third adjustment is that all officers above the small flag will join the recruit training camp for half a year of military training."

This adjustment was mainly due to the consideration that these officers did not understand Lu Li's new army tactics at all, and Lu Li did not trust their combat capabilities.

First conduct military training for a period of time, and after getting familiar with the new tactics, let's talk about leading troops to fight!

With the 20 people brought out by Lu Li himself, plus the 100 people trained in the second phase, they will be enriched in various departments of the Jinshan Guard, serving as grassroots officers and deputy officers. Basically, the original officers can be replaced.

"Nowadays, there are many old and weak soldiers in the Jinshan Guard. This officer has decided to conduct a physical examination of the entire army. Anyone whose physical condition does not meet the standard will be dismissed."

"Jinshan Guard has a quota of [-] combat soldiers and [-] auxiliary soldiers. This officer has decided to recruit full-strength soldiers. In addition, the soldiers will no longer be paid by the officers, and the soldiers will go to the logistics department to collect them."

The purpose of recruiting new soldiers was to improve their combat effectiveness.

As for the rations and salaries not being paid by the officers, this is to avoid deducting the military salaries and avoiding empty salaries.

Lu Li's order naturally harmed the interests of many officers, but...no one dared to say a word.

The victory at Baiyangkou made Lu Li more and more powerful.All 100 Japanese pirates were killed. Whoever dared to jump out to make trouble would be killed by Lu Li's more than [-] black-clothed soldiers immediately.

In this case, even if someone is unwilling, they dare not complain.

Now I dare not complain, and I will not even have the opportunity to complain in the future.

As long as the recruits' military training is completed, all the military forces of the entire Golden Mountain Guard will be in Lu Li's hands.These officers are the same whether they are present or not.

What's more... Killing a military officer is not as difficult as killing a civil servant. Those who dare to make trouble or disobedient can be killed directly.

After taking over the Golden Mountain Guard, Lu Li immediately started the renovation plan of the Golden Mountain Guard.

With cement as a super building material, Lu Li refurbished the guards of Jinshanwei.

Not only the guard station was built into a solid fortress, but even the dilapidated thatched huts of the soldiers' homes were all demolished and rebuilt, replacing them with large brick-concrete buildings.

The reconstruction of the three thousand-household offices was completed, and Lu Li rebuilt the Golden Mountain Guard City and built a huge bastion.The soldiers' residences in the headquarters of the Jinshan Acropolis were also replaced with large brick-concrete buildings.

In this way, Lu Li's reputation in Jinshan Guard reached the level of admiration, and all the soldiers and family members of the guard were grateful to Lu Li.

Lu Li's fundamentals were completely solid. Anyone who dared to say that Lu Li was wrong would be beaten up by the angry crowd.

Under the guarantee of sufficient food and salaries, the recruitment work went smoothly.In addition to the [-] soldiers being trained, another [-] recruits have also been recruited.

Thanks to the various outputs in the workshop area, Lu Li had enough money to buy food, otherwise, he would not be able to support five thousand soldiers.

It will be fine when it comes to autumn harvest.The high-yielding crops widely planted in Jinshanwei and Lujiazhuang are bound to usher in a bumper harvest.

Time passed day by day, and the progress of army training was also advancing.After three months, the initial combat effectiveness will be formed.

After half a year of training, this new-style army of 5000 people will surely sweep away the invincible opponents in the world.

3 Chapter Ninety Navy!navy!

The time goes to August.

In the fields around Lujiazhuang and Jinshanwei, the lush crops have begun to head, and the harvest scene is very gratifying.

The breeding of chickens, ducks and geese organized by Xinger Lianer, under the artificial incubation technology, the number of chickens, ducks and geese has increased rapidly, reaching tens of thousands.

The scale of pig farming is also growing, and the piglets have already been born once.Although it has not yet reached the standard for slaughter, there are already thousands of pigs.

The reproduction of cows and horses is relatively slow. At present, cows and mares are all in the pregnancy period and have not yet given birth.

During this period of time, the guns and guns in the workshop area have already completed their production tasks. Ten thousand rifles, ten thousand pistols, one thousand cannons, and countless bullets, shells and grenades have filled the arsenal.

The progress of recruit training is also constantly advancing. The first batch of 4000 recruits have completed three months of military training and have initially formed combat effectiveness.The second batch of [-] recruits also trained for two months.

During this period of time, thanks to Jinshanwei's powerful deterrent force, no Japanese pirates dared to come to make trouble in Songjiang Mansion and the surrounding counties, and the environment was very stable and peaceful.

While speeding up his military training, Lu Li organized the research and development of logistics support. He carried out many reform measures in terms of military uniforms, food, transportation, etc., and the effect was quite obvious.

Special transport vehicles, new military uniforms, individual rations, and other materials have entered the stage of mass production.

In August, it was already time for the imperial examination and the provincial examination.

The provincial examination in Nanzhili was held in Jinling.

This time, Lu Li still took the exam.For nothing else, the brand of juren is much stronger than that of scholar.With a reputation as a military officer, Lu Li, a military officer, would not be rejected or belittled in front of civilian officials.

With the social environment like this, Lu Li had no choice but to adapt.

On the ninth day of August, Lu Li took a class of personal guards and drove a few carriages all the way to Jinling to participate in the Nanzhili Township Examination.

The procedure of the imperial examination is still a routine.

Search and enter the arena, get the number plate, enter the hall, distribute the test papers, and then start the exam.

In this exam, Lu Li was lucky enough to encounter another exam question that he had read stereotyped essays in later generations.

This eight-part essay is the only authentic copy of the number one scholar scroll left in later generations.During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the examination paper of Zhao Bingzhong, the number one scholar.

When Lu Li was studying cultural relic identification with Mr. Han, he also studied this stereotyped essay.

Now that he encountered the same exam questions and remembered the number one scholar paper, Lu Li naturally didn't bother to think about it, so he just copied it.

After passing the provincial exam easily, Lu Li didn't pay attention to the result at all.

If the number one scholar in the Wanli Year failed the Juren examination in the Jiajing Dynasty, it would definitely be a shady scene, and the Ming Dynasty would still do the math!

Lu Li was concerned about another matter.

To fight Japanese pirates, or even Tatars, or all the armies in the world, Lu Li has enough confidence that he can push the world across the world without anyone being able to stop him.

However... Japanese pirates can go to sea!

In addition to Japanese pirates at sea, there are also Western Franc robots who are launching a grand voyage vigorously.

Today's Spanish duck has extended its tentacles to Southeast Asia.By this time next year, Grape Duck people will enter Haojing (Macau).

Therefore, it is imminent to build a fleet as soon as possible and form a sea force.

Lu Li's visit to Jinling this time was mainly for the shipyard under the Jinling Ministry of Industry.

Back then, Jinling Shipyard built the world's largest armada.The treasure ship that Zheng He sailed to the West was built here.

Today, the treasure ship has long since been dismantled, the workshop has long been dilapidated, and even the blueprints of the treasure ship, the charts, navigation techniques and records of Zheng He's voyages to the West were all burned by Liu Daxia, a "famous official of the Qing Dynasty".

Fortunately, with Lu Li's level of knowledge, it doesn't matter if he doesn't have these things. He can draw the sea chart by himself, and Lu Li can also make out the most important judgments of azimuth and distance in navigation technology.

Even if Lu Li was to design a ship, although Lu Li is not a professional in this field, it is not too difficult to design a sea ship based on the principles of fluid mechanics, structural mechanics, material mechanics and buoyancy.

The only difficulty is... no artisans!

Lu Li could theoretically design a warship, but to make it, he could rely on craftsmen.

When he came to the old site of Jinling Shipyard, what Lu Li saw was dilapidated.

Originally able to produce the world's largest sea-going ship, Jinling Shipyard, which has the world's strongest shipbuilding technology, is now... almost like a barren mountain.

Dilapidated buildings, fields overgrown with weeds, the sight is desolate.When Lu Li and his party passed by, they could even see a few wild rabbits running around.

Walking around the dilapidated old site of Jinling Shipyard, Lu Li didn't find a single person.

Hundreds of years have passed, and the craftsmen who once built treasure ships will naturally not survive today.Their descendants have long been torn apart and disappeared.

Lu Li let out a long sigh and shook his head helplessly.I can only think of another way!

Nowadays, there are many people who go to sea by boat in the southeast, and there should be many people who know how to build ships.Although everything is in the hands of the local powerful gentry, but... under the barrel of a gun, what can't be obtained?If it doesn't work, then you can only do it arrogantly and recklessly.

"Who are you?"

When Lu Li turned to leave, he suddenly heard a loud shout.

Turning his head and looking at the river in the distance, a beggar in shabby clothes, leaning on a bamboo pole, stood among the bushes on the bank, looking at Lu Li and the others warily.

"My officer, Commander of the Jinshan Guard, Lu Li, who are you?"

Lu Li reported his background and asked the beggar again.

"I...I am..."

A look of panic flashed in the beggar's eyes, he looked up at Lu Li and his party, then... turned around and ran away.

"stop!"

Lu Li let out a loud roar, and rushed out quickly.

After finally seeing a living person at the old site of Jinling Shipyard, Lu Li naturally couldn't let him run away like this.

With Lu Li's [-]-meter sprint speed, he quickly caught up with the beggar.

Stretching out his hand to grab it, Lu Li grabbed the beggar, pinned him down, and knocked him to the ground.

It's just...why does it feel a little soft?Could it be that this guy is still a girl?

"what……"

The beggar who was pushed down by Lu Li looked crazy, struggling desperately, and even opened his mouth to bite Lu Li's arm.

Fuck!Are you afraid that you are not a dog?

Lu Li quickly withdrew his hands, dodging the fierce bite.

"Okay, okay. I'm not here to catch you!"

Lu Li let go of the beggar, and quickly said, "I'm just passing by here, not here to catch you."

"Bah! Dog officer!"

The beggar yelled again, and glared at Lu Li, as if desperate.

"What you said is a bit of a generalization! Officials are not necessarily dog ​​officials, and ordinary people are not necessarily simple and kind."

Lu Li smiled and shook his head, "Okay. I really didn't come to arrest you. I'll ask you something, and I'll leave after I'm done."

As he said that, Lu Li pointed to the dilapidated shipyard ruins, "You live here? Do you know where the people who used to be here have gone now?"

The whereabouts of these craftsmen, if you ask the government...no one knows at all, believe it or not?

"There is no one here!"

As if seeing that Lu Li was really not here to catch him (her?), the beggar stood up, patted the grass clippings on his body, and said, "Some of the people who lived here before were transferred, some ran away, some ...dead, I'm the last one alive."
