In addition, one person has four-piece training clothes, a cotton coat, cotton hat and gloves, sea soul shirt, socks, and calf noses... This one costs ten taels of silver, and it is still an internal wholesale price. If you go to the market to purchase a single piece, you can't even beat the fifteen taels!

Jin Ke felt that the young master spent too much on the police officer, but Zhao Hao said that we were following the route of elite soldiers with few and elite soldiers, so we should look like elite soldiers.

Think about the Garen ship that costs 200,000 to 300,000 taels per ship, and the installation fee seems to be not too expensive...

In fact, it's not bad, because the cost is mainly on police robe, belt and leather boots. The soldiers can't wear these three things a few times a month, and the losses are not large. The police officers take care of wearing them for five or six years, and there is no problem at all.

In the real clothes-consuming travel to sea, combat, training and military camp life, they all wear the "coast guard training uniforms" that are not good-looking and cheap.

However, this dress, called the "coast guard training uniform", is actually not ordinary. In terms of style, this dress is similar to the mid-suits and trousers worn by rich people, so it is also nicknamed "pajamas outside" by seamen, but it is indeed convenient to climb up and down on the boat, without worrying about where the hem is hooked.

The pants were also tucked into the boots, which was very neat, and avoided the accident of being stepped on and caught.

Moreover, there is a secret opening on the left and right sides of the top, and a large pocket is sewn inside. It is very convenient to hold some small pieces and can free your hands.

The most commendable thing is their training cloth boots, which not only have strong materials and meticulous workmanship, but also have patterned Eucommia ulmoides rubber on the soles and heels of the soles.

The police officers quickly realized the benefits of this thing. Not only does it make the soles more wear-resistant, but it is also anti-slip. Running on the wet deck will not easily fall.

Moreover, the tip of the training cloth boots is wrapped with crescent-shaped iron sheets, so that when carrying shells or other heavy objects are accidentally hit by the foot, the police officer's toes can be protected. In the Age of Discovery, the most non-combat reduction on ships was foot injuries, just like the most casualties during battles were caused by splashes of wood chips, which was as incredible, but also factual.

Although these improvements are small, they can truly help the coast guards, reduce their chances of injury, and allow the police to truly feel what Mr. Zhao means to "love soldiers as if they are sons".

~~

Mr. Zhao talked with the police with a look of relief and asked them what they had on the newly distributed clothing and what they had on the ship?

In front of the captain and the captain, the police officers did not dare to say anything even if they had any objections, so they expressed their satisfaction. If they insisted on criticizing the leader, it was that the leaders were too hard and too careless to rest...

Mr. Zhao was bored when he heard this. The Chinese people were like birds. No matter which dynasty, it would be better to go and see something that could not speak.

"Let's go down and take a look." Zhao Hao smiled and pointed to the stairs leading to the deck. To be ashamed, whether it was the Science and Chen Huaixiu's Pingjiang, he thought the deck was black and smelly, and he had never been down. Hearing that there were four floors of space under the deck of this 101 ship, Mr. Zhao finally became interested.

I went down the stairs to the negative floor, which was a little over 1.75 meters tall. Mr. Zhao had to bow his waist to avoid touching his head... It was not that he was tall, but mainly because of his heels and buns.

It’s really painful to be a tall man like Gao, who is over 1.8 meters tall... I have to hold my waist all the way.

However, most soldiers were generally malnourished when they were young, and were not as tall as Mr. Zhao. Most of them were around 1.6 meters tall, so although it was certain that they felt cramped, they were still able to make do with it.

Compared to being cramped, the bigger problem is the darkness and the air does not flow. Zhao Hao felt that the prison where Xu Wei lived was also brighter than here and better than here.

There is no way. If a merchant ship or a cargo ship can open a few portholes on the bulkhead for ventilation and light transmission. But this is a warship that focuses on safety. If the porthole is opened, what should the enemy throw turbulent oil tanks into it when connecting to the sidelines? Moreover, the ship needs fire protection and does not ignite turbulence. Only a few ship lights hanging on the long bulkhead are emitting dim light.

The boat light contains water and will basically go out if it falls to the ground. But to ensure safety, the brightness of this thing is limited.

Zhao Hao suddenly thought that he could purchase a batch of coal mine ventilation equipment from Xishan Company to solve the problem of turbid air, but I can only talk about it next time.

This floor is where middle and lower-level police officers and police officers live. Zeng Yiben obviously ignored the accommodation conditions of his subordinates. Originally, the cabins here were all cargo warehouses. The sailors slept on the deck when the summer was sunny, and the rest of the time was in the cargo warehouses on this floor for the rest of the night. Rope piles, canvas piles, and cargo boxes were their natural beds, so the incidence of various skin diseases such as eczema is very high.

Moreover, when the sailor falls asleep, he will roll with the waves. Some people are unlucky and even break their necks and die.

In fact, we can't blame Zeng Yiben, because this was the case in Europe. It was not until they introduced a hammock from the Indians that the sailors had at least a bed, at least they had fewer skin diseases, so they didn't have to worry about rolling around after falling asleep.

Mr. Zhao created a hammock at the beginning of the year. Elder Niu, who was responsible for the construction of the ship, tried it and installed all the ships.

This 10,000-hu black-tailed boat was no exception. After driving to the Jiangnan Shipyard, Elder Niu led his men to renovate it and divided the cabin into thirty rooms of different sizes. Two police officers and six police officers each, all equipped hammocks, wardrobes and storage cabinets, and boat lights were installed in each room, which greatly improved the conditions.

But the six people were crowded in a small room of 15 square meters and 1.7 meters high, and Zhao Hao felt it was still very difficult.

However, the accommodation problem of sailors cannot be solved in three hundred years, and Mr. Zhao can do this at present.

However, what made Zhao Hao feel a little ashamed was that the police seemed to be very satisfied with the current accommodation conditions. Especially the former Sand Boat Squad sailors, they all praised it, and some even called it the "101 Hotel". I really don't know how bad the previous conditions would be?

And with the dim light, you can also see that the internal affairs in the cabins are kept very neat. Everything is where it should be, the hammock is packed on the wall, there is no debris on the ground, and even the wooden wall is polished shiny.

Strictly demanding internal affairs to be picky, and even deliberately tormenting police officers, but it is a good way to shape military discipline and execution. The so-called "People's Liberation Army quilts, US military shoes, and French men's shirts are all the same.

In fact, the first person to strictly require internal affairs was the Daying Royal Navy. It was not out of aristocratic mentality, but to maintain public and personal hygiene on the ship when going to sea. This is very important because there are often rats on the ship, as well as lice, bed bugs, fleas, etc. that are more annoying than mice, spreading various diseases such as rashes, typhoid fever, and plagues, which cause non-combat reductions and even directly make the warship lose its combat effectiveness.

Captain Daying discovered that the best way to deal with these pests is to order sailors to keep the ship and individuals hygiene. In addition to daily hygiene, they will also regularly clean up, clean up domestic waste, discharge sewage from the bottom cabin, sprinkle lime, sulfur powder, etc. to reduce the chance of infectious diseases.

After visiting the negative floor of the soldiers' accommodation, it would be even more difficult to go to the lower floor. Because the three floors below do not have a direct deck, but use partitions to separate out cellar-like watertight cabins. However, this advantage is that one or two cabins leak, and there will be no danger of a shipwreck.

The covers on the ground on the negative floor are lifted, and the cabins are exposed. There are ammunition chambers, tool chambers, spare parts chambers, and most importantly, food chambers.

Haiergo told Zhao Hao that although this time it was a near-shore voyage, considering the many uncertainties of the battle, there was no definite supply port in Japan, and the supply materials were prepared according to the one-month long-distance voyage standard.

One of the warehouses is filled with various grains such as rice, noodles, millet, etc. One warehouse is filled with various storage-resistant side dishes such as cured meat, smoked fish, ham, pickles, and other storage-resistant vegetables. Another warehouse is filled with winter melon, white radish, carrots, and cabbage.

There was also a food warehouse filled with piles of food the size of a cushion. Zhao Hao picked up one and put it under the lamp to see clearly. It turned out to be the traditional military ration in our country - Guokui.

"The sea is often windy and rushing, and the kitchen does not dare to make fires, so you have to prepare more dry food and not let everyone go hungry, right?" Haiergo explained.

"Well, it makes sense." Zhao Hao nodded, thinking that he could still be a shield at a critical moment.

As for the fresh fruits, vegetables and meat that were just sent to the kitchen at the lower level of the bow of the ship. In the few days after going out to sea, the sailors' food was the best, not only with a rich variety, but also with open supply. Because these things will rot in a few days, it is better to eat them all instead of wasting them in vain.

The third floor of the negative layer is full of fresh water cabinets. Everyone knows that drinking water is much more important than food in the ocean. If the water is cut off or the water is polluted, the entire ship will be not far from being destroyed. However, fresh water will be stored in the water cabinet for up to half a month, and it will grow green moss, breeding water insects, and emitting an unpleasant sewage smell. Not only is it difficult to drink, it can easily cause diarrhea and dysentery.

The experience of the Sand Boat Gang is to boil the water and then load it on the boat. When you drink it, add some tea and salt, and the condition will be much better. However, the Sand Boat Gang is active in the inland rivers and offshore, and I don’t know if this experience can be effective in the ocean.

Fortunately, going to Japan here is considered a near-shore area. I dare not say that there are other supplies, so there should be no shortage of fresh water.
