Yuan Zong was speechless when he was asked the first question.
Yes, after he surrendered, he became a general of the Ming army, so he naturally had to respect the will of the Ming emperor.
If the young emperor issued an imperial edict to kill Gao Guiying, Yuan Zongdi would not be able to stop it at all costs.
Unless he raised the flag of rebellion again, but if that was the case, why would he surrender?
"I would like to advise you one last time based on the old brotherhood.
You can do it yourself."
Yuan Zongdi was stunned for a moment, then walked out of the tent dejectedly.
They really didn't think this issue through clearly, which is unfair to Gao Guiying.
Yuan Zongdi hesitated for a moment and then walked towards Gao Guiying's tent.
Some things must be said openly and clearly in person.
On the third day of February, the second batch of trainees from Huangming Military Academy came to Shandong for internship.
The first batch of students included Chen Zilong, Zhang Huangyan, Zheng Chenggong, and Gu Yanwu.
They came to Texas to visit the bastions, and then chose a different route.
Zhang Huangyan, Chen Zilong, and Zheng Chenggong went to Denglai to continue visiting the Denglai Navy, while Gu Yanwu went to Jinan Prefecture.
With the experience of the first batch of students, the second batch of students basically followed suit.
First visit Dezhou, and then choose whether to go to Jinan or Denglai according to your personal wishes.
Yan Yingyuan was among them.
It's just that he chose to stay after visiting the Texas Bastion to study the structure of the Bastion in depth.
Qin Gongming was naturally very happy about Yan Yingyuan's strong interest.
Most of these students were curious about the bastion and put it down after seeing it.
Naturally, it is impossible to learn the essence through this superficial approach.
You must know that the structure of the bastion is completely different from that of ordinary Ming dynasty forts.
Only by concentrating on studying can one understand the essence of defense.
Qin Gongming saw that Yan Yingyuan was a down-to-earth and hard-working young man, so he wanted to train him more in the field of city defense.
It is difficult for a literati to make a name for himself when leading troops in war, but it is still possible to defend a city.
Qin Gongming knew that His Majesty the Emperor established the Huangming Military Academy to train senior generals.
This was also a way to obscure civilian officials and military generals.
After all, most of the people who attend the Huangming Military Academy are scholars.
After graduating from the Huangming Military Academy, these people will definitely be sent to the armies of various places for reuse.
Qin Gongming trained Yan Yingyuan in advance, which can be regarded as the result of thinking about his superiors.
Yan Yingyuan also acted very cooperatively and completely obeyed Qin Gongming's arrangements.
Qin Gongming couldn't help but lament that if there were more young people like Yan Yingyuan in the Ming Dynasty, why would they be in this situation now.
However, it is not too late to train now.
Qin Gongming believes that as long as the Huangming Military Academy trains a few more batches of students, it can inject fresh blood into the already corrupt Ming Dynasty officialdom and frontier armies.
However, it was said that Chen Zilong, Zhang Huangyan and Zheng Chenggong had been in Dengzhou for several months.
After arriving in Shandong, except for visiting the fortresses in Texas for the first month, they spent the rest of their time in Dengzhou, even during the New Year.
Chen Zilong and Zhang Huangyan had never seen a navy ship before, so when they came to Dengzhou Water City, they all exclaimed how majestic it was.
As for Zheng Chenggong, he was already used to it.
Not to mention that he was born in Japan and is very familiar with maritime trade.
He has long been used to seeing large ships every day.
Even after being taken back to Fujian by his father Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Chenggong followed his uncles on frequent inspections of the Zheng family navy, and even had his own unique insights into the daily management of the navy.
In his opinion, the navy needs to emphasize orders and prohibitions more than the ordinary army.
Semaphore is also more important.
After all, in large-scale water battles, especially naval battles, the warships are far apart and cannot be heard by shouting.
This problem can be solved by using semaphore scheduling.

Of course, there are only two things that directly determine the combat effectiveness of the navy.
One is the size of the ship, and the other is the number and power of the artillery.
The bigger the ship, the more artillery and the more powerful it is, the stronger the navy's combat effectiveness will be.
Of course, the commander's immediate command in actual combat is also very important.
However, it is rare for a small number to win a large number in a naval battle.
The dominant side will often achieve a crushing victory.
The ship is strong and the artillery is powerful, and the gods are difficult to defeat.
This cannot be compensated by a high-quality commander and strong execution ability.
After visiting Denglai Navy, Zheng Chenggong once put forward his suggestions to Governor Zhang Kentang.
In his opinion, the warships of Denglai Navy are very tall, which is an extremely advantageous factor in naval battles.
But the problem of the Denglai Navy is also obvious, that is, the type of warships is very single, and it does not have auxiliary ship types such as long boats and fast crabs.
This may be targeted by the enemy in some specific battles, resulting in hidden losses.
There is also the fact that the number of warships of the Denglai Navy is absolutely insufficient.
In Zheng Chenggong's view, a powerful navy must have at least hundreds of large ships.
Of course this problem will be solved gradually.
As time goes by, the output of the Longjiang Shipyard gradually increases.
If priority is given to supplying Denglai Town, the scale of the Denglai Navy will soon reach the ideal scale.
There is nothing wrong with the artillery equipped on naval warships.
These are high-quality Folan cannons, and their accuracy and power are unmatched by ordinary cannons.
The most serious problem of the Denglai Navy is not the warships, but the serious lack of capabilities of the navy's officers and soldiers.
This problem is fatal.
You must know that the soldiers of the Zheng family navy have all experienced actual combat.
They can not say that one is equal to ten, but they can at least complete some daily tasks independently.
As for the most common task of firing guns, it is completely different for an experienced veteran crew and a novice.
Veteran crew members can skillfully complete a set of actions without any sloppiness.
Even if the recruits follow the gourd's instructions, they may not be able to ignite the gunpowder.
Therefore, the Navy places special emphasis on mentoring and mentoring.
The experienced crew members will pass on some of their experience to the new recruits, and will teach them step by step when necessary.
Only in this way can recruits grow at the fastest speed.
When the old crew members retire, the new crew members can step in and avoid interruptions.
In this way, the old can lead the new, so that the naval officers and soldiers can always maintain a high level.
The Zheng Family Navy has always implemented this principle, but the Denglai Navy has experienced a talent gap due to a long period of interruption.
Many of the officers and soldiers currently recruited by the Denglai Navy are local fishermen.
Of course, these fishermen are familiar with the water and have no problem steering the boat.
But when it comes to some details of water battles, they may not be good at it.
Without an experienced crew to guide them, they can only explore on their own.
This can easily lead to detours or even a dead end.
Recruiting a group of Franji mercenaries from the trenched Macau is naturally a good choice.
These Folan aircraft crews are experienced in naval battles and can pass on their experience to the officers and soldiers of the Denglai Navy.
However, the number of French sailors recruited is definitely seriously insufficient, and at most they can only serve as instructors.
In Zheng Chenggong's view, the most convenient way is to directly recruit local pirates
