Thirteen Galenic battleships, five Galenic merchant ships, two Galenic giant ships, and fifteen clipper ships were all renovated and looked brand new, without any signs of dilapidation after long-distance voyages and battles.
Only the Gaoyouhu and Weishanhu, which had just returned from transporting Liao people with Gu Wuyue, were still being cleaned and repaired.
Among them, the Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, and Huang Zhong were each equipped with sixteen 48-pound Tiago short-barreled guns.
The subsequently captured Feng Yi, Geng Yan, Ma Yuan, and Wei Yan were also equipped with 32-pound and twenty-four pounder, eighteen pounder Tiago cannon, and The long-barreled cannon has a unified caliber to facilitate the supply of gunpowder and projectiles.
This will also use up the short-barreled cannon in stock.
Fortunately, the cannon foundry is now running smoothly and the shortage will soon be replenished.
Otherwise, it will be added to the active service soon.
The new Galen ship will run naked.
The current problem is the shortage of sailors.
Since the two thousand sailors recruited later only have one Galen ship and a few clipper ships to practice on, they are still a little immature.
Mainly due to lack of experience in long-distance voyages and no experience in artillery warfare.
This time, so many positions have been expanded.
Even though the old are leading the new, the level of sailing is still lower than before the Philippines.
Of course, if it were not for fierce artillery battles such as the Babuyan Strait, just sailing would still be There is no problem, but it is impossible to have such an artillery battle in the northern waters of the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, the navies of various countries in this sea area still rely on supporting fire attacks.
These naval soldiers only need to go through two long voyages and one artillery battle will quickly mature.
The only way is to let them grow up quickly on the battlefield.
For several days, these ships kept sailing to practice sailor gunnership near Shidao.
For a while, the waters of Shidao became so lively that even the Shidao fishing boats fishing nearby moved to far away to avoid them.
Zhao Lie sighed, if the Weihai navy was not controlled by his father, I am afraid things would have been out of control by now.
With such a large fleet now, Shidao is not suitable for long-term residence.
Jeju must be captured as soon as possible, as it will be a ruined place.
The best place for the Japanese navy to be stationed is not far from the Ming Dynasty, Korea and Japan.
It is easy to rush to help if something happens.
Zhao Lie carefully looked through the documents about Jeju Island, and was surprised to find that after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the island was still in the hands of the Mongols of the Yuan Dynasty for decades, and was later taken over by the Lee family of Korea.
Seeing this, Zhao Lie was overjoyed.
I am worried about the excuse to enter Jeju Island, this time Dongfeng got it, take a closer look below , Jeju Island is governed in Jeju in the north.
In addition, there are three larger counties and towns such as Dajeongxipo.
The population is about 30,000 people and the North Korean army is 2,000.
However, since the North Korean division is the same as that of the Ming Dynasty, the army has no vacancies.
The issue of pay is also fully learned.
Now it is less than 1,500 yuan, under the command of the state magistrate.
There are about 20,000 horses on the island.
It is an important horse-producing area in North Korea.
Zhao Lie curled his lips and said that it is really a small country with few people.
More than 20,000 war horses are its largest horse farm.
Well, it is still one of the two major penal colonies in North Korea, the other is the border area with Jiannu.
Damn, this is exactly the same as the Ming Dynasty's exile.
The north is the bitter cold Liaodong, and the south is the undeveloped Hainan.
They are really following each other.
Du Li waited with bated breath.
Seeing that Zhao Lie was fascinated, he couldn't help but wonder if the Lord was satisfied.
Although he had put up the framework of the Military Intelligence Department after several months of hard work, after all, his time was short and it was not the Jeju Information News that had been collected by many parties.
I was extremely uneasy whether I was satisfied or not.
As for the North Korean navy that Zhao Lie was responsible for investigating, the North Korean navy suffered heavy losses after the Japanese disaster.

When Gwanghae was in power, he wanted to build more warships, but this plan was abandoned due to financial difficulties after the war.
To this day, the Korean Navy is mainly divided into four divisions.
There are left and right naval camps in Jeolla Province, which are stationed in the left and right roads of Jeolla Province.
There are left and right naval camps stationed in the left and right roads of Gyeongsang Province.
There are two naval camps in the Han Dynasty Navy headquarters.
The naval camp is home to all the turtle ships known for their heavy weight and speed, and some of the navy are on the Yellow Sea Road to prepare for the north.
However, there are not many large ships, mainly small ships, and their combat power is limited.
"Du Li, the enemy situation on Jeju Island this time is quite detailed.
If it turns out later that what he said is true, you will be the first to make the first contribution.
However, the situation in Ezo, the northern island of Japan, must be found out as soon as possible."
Zhao Lie said.
"As ordered, I will do my best."
Du Li did not dare to boast about Haikou.
Since the Japanese state and the Ming Dynasty had cut off all contact, it was too difficult to find out the news.
In order to find out the situation, he had sent four or five groups of people to Songjiang, Yangzhou to wait until He inquired about the places where Japanese private ships came and went, and also interrogated the captured Japanese.
It is estimated that there should be a response in the next two days.
"In addition, as your Excellency has told me, my subordinates have already completed the arrangement of the families of the navy soldiers and soldiers who came from the Weihai Navy to Shidao, and tried their best to arrange some houses for them.
These people have also settled down."
Du Li Report.
"Very good.
This means you have no worries.
In the future, you only need to pay attention to Shidao's affairs."
Zhao Lie nodded with satisfaction.
After Du Li left, Yuan Yi, Tiago Iuliano, Wu Qun, Ricardo and others from the Jianghuying Shipyard Refugee Camp Racecourse were summoned and brought into the room.
It was not unusual for several people to be summoned here for no apparent reason.
However, these workers This is the first time that people from the camp and the refugee camp have been called together.
"Everyone, please take a seat."
Zhao Lie asked a few people to take their seats and "serve tea."
A few people thanked them and took their seats.
After a while, hot tea was served.
"Everyone, I have called you here to tell you that I will create an overseas territory."
Zhao Lie paused and looked at everyone.
The Portuguese had no big reaction, but the Ming craftsmen were greatly surprised.
"I have decided to establish craftsman camps, shipyards, refugee camps, racecourses in overseas territories.
Therefore, you must allocate half of your manpower to open new factories in new places.
I hope you will report your waiting list and required materials within five days. " This time it was a mess, and even the Portuguese were complaining.
It was just because the work was heavy, experienced people were deployed, and there was a shortage of manpower.
"This is my order, and I'm not asking you to wait for complaints."
Zhao Lie knocked on the table and stopped the complaints of several people.
"From now on, we will recruit newbies and lead the new ones with the old.
Don't forget that we have plenty of manpower.
In recent days, we have The officials will prepare the personnel first, and the team will set off in two months."
Zhao Lie made the final decision.
Several people left the office reluctantly, exchanging bitter words about how a novice could become a seasoned expert in a matter of months, and how to keep up with the progress.
After pouring out the bitter water, a few people still separated and went back to follow Zhao Lie's instructions.

Whoever goes there is the superior's instructions and must be obeyed.
Meng Guangshan, who had been quite shocked when he came to Shidao last time, was still shocked when he came to Shidao again.
This is already a large-scale city.
The buildings in the streets of Paotai Pier are quite large and well-organized.
Compared with other towns in the Ming Dynasty, Shidao is The island is much cleaner and wider, and people's faces are not as cowardly and numb as other places, but there is more laughter and noise.
Representative Zhang Ting is already a member of the council.
Now Shidao is under the management of the council.
This is what shocks Meng Guangshan the most.
When can businessmen participate in the management of Ming government affairs?
This really breaks Meng Guangshan's three views. , now that he has seen the operation of Shidao with his own eyes, Meng Guangshan can only tolerate it.
Accompanied by Zhang Ting, Meng Guangshan took a good tour of Shidao.
This time he found that places such as the shipyard, wharf, and military camps had been banned from entering.
In the refugee camp, Meng Guangshan felt that Shidao was an ambitious place.
He was not some poor scholar. , and he is not an ignorant woman or child.
He will not simply think that Zhao Lie is kind-hearted.
If it is the expansion of Shidao, tens of thousands of refugees will be enough, but why are the two hundred thousand refugees coming this time.
Meng Guangshan and Zhang Ting were quite puzzled as they watched several Chinese and foreign craftsmen heads leave with red faces and arguments, especially Zhang Ting.
He had met several of the craftsmen heads several times, and Iuliano was even more familiar with them.
He ordered a fortune ship at the shipyard.
At that time, many issues were discussed, but in his opinion, the excitement of the polite Juliano today still surprised him.
Meng Guangshan was really thinking about the words in his mind.
Shidao was extremely important in his business share at the moment.
He did not expect that the demand for Shidao was so great.
Horses, food, cloth, tung oil, coarse hemp, charcoal, saltpeter, groceries, and even refugees were coming in an endless stream.
Undoubtedly, the copper-made Japanese objects on the return trip also brought him huge benefits.
At this time, Zhang Ting brought him surprising news.
Shidao produced salt at a relatively low cost, but it was not exported.
This made Meng Guangshan immediately decide to go to Shidao immediately.
The share of salt that he had obtained could no longer sustain the distribution situation.
At this time, he was surprised by the news.
Although it was private salt, firstly, the commander of the Ming Dynasty Navy The second reason for making the yamen preside over is that it is easy to get through as long as it is mixed with the official salt.
So Meng Guangshan quickly came to Shidao. s Thanks to the natives of the Great Wilderness, Zhenkong, Hanjiang, Hongyan, Longbow, Xubei, begging for money, the world, the divine gap, overseas, Afei, Shumen, Tang Qisi, gathering guests and friends into the night, the sea under the sun, and the invincible emperor for their reward and support.
