On the tenth day of April, the trial fleet arrived at Ukushima, the station of the Kyushu Water Police Department, welcomed by the West Kyushu Patrol Fleet.

In the middle of last year, the Tanluo Guard District, based on the actual situation in the past year of operation, asked Mr. Zhao to instruct him to make an adjustment to the water police station under his jurisdiction.

The most important one is to abolish the Chengshan Water Police Bureau and build the Jiuzhou Water Police Bureau.

This is because after practice, it was found that the Security Department of the Security District can fully undertake the security work of the security district base and home port. According to the management knowledge taught by Mr. Zhao, overlapping rights and responsibilities means shirking responsibility and inefficient, so it is necessary to unify it.

Of course, the Chengshan Shui Police Department has another mission - patrolling the route from Tanluo to Jiuzhou Island to prevent Japanese pirates from coming from the east. But now the entire Kyushu Island naval army has been completely eliminated in the "punishment operation" and the later "cup sweeping operation".

But now Kyushu Island is completely under the control of the security area. Obviously, moving the security area east to Ujiu Island on the main channel can greatly enhance the protection of the route, and better monitor the Kyushu waters to ensure the implementation of the "Three No-Forbidden Foreign Order".

The so-called "Three No Forbidden Foreign Order" refers to a ship with a merchant ship of the Tanluo Chamber of Commerce, which is under the banner of the security zone, no force on Kyushu Island is allowed to build ships with more than two masts, lengths of more than two meters, and number of oars more than ten.

No ships above the limit are allowed to appear on the sea surface. Once the cargo is found, the crew will be confiscated for life and will be sentenced to labor camps for life. The owner will be listed on the blacklist of breach of trust and are prohibited from trading in Yokoseura, Oita, Hakata, and Seed Island, and will not go to sea.

Even the smallest small early ship among the naval armies of each vassal are four feet long and thirty to forty oars. Nowadays, the "three-not small boats" on the sea of ​​Jiuzhou can only engage in near-shore fishing and transportation, and cannot be used for combat at all. Therefore, there are no naval armies on the entire Kyushu Island.

Jiuzhou Water Police Bureau has two police stations.

One is the Seed Island Police Station. In addition to defending Iwoyu Island production, it is also responsible for monitoring the movements of the Mian Kyushu, especially the Shimazu family, and guarding against the sudden arrival of the sea lords in the south.

A Takashima Police Station was also set up at the narrowest part of the Toyogo waterway leading to Usuki Castle, which not only provided escort for the Tara Chamber of Commerce cargo ships traveling to Usuki Castle, but also responsible for protecting the Otomo family from the attacks of Setoumi naval forces, and at the same time monitoring the dishonest Lao Wang.

In this game, the two schools were separated from the east and south sides of Kyushu, providing all-round protection for Kyushu Island without blind spots, completely cutting off their ties with the four countries of the state. From then on, they hid in the small building and became unified, regardless of winter, summer, spring and autumn!

Ukushima is the northernmost diamond-shaped island at the Goshima Islands, with an area of ​​25 square kilometers. It has a beautiful silver sand beach rarely seen in Japan. The sea water on the shore is also very shallow, which is very suitable for...bikini!

Unfortunately, due to the influence of the Little Glacier, the Sea of ​​Japan was still cold in April. Mr. Zhao had to turn his eyes from Qiaoqiao to the white lighthouse built on the fort.

On the lighthouse, there was a signal warning to welcome the flag to enter Hong Kong.

Soon, a water diversion ship with a hull number of 666 guided the fleet slowly across the breakwater and entered Yujiu Port.

There are two concrete trests built in the harbor, quietly anchored with 5 medium-sized warships starting with hull number 2, 10 light warships starting with 3, 20 patrol boats starting with 4, and several transport ships and other special ships.

This is only half of the strength of the West Kyushu Patrol Fleet, and half of the fleet patrolls at sea and provides escort and guidance for the trial fleet.

In addition, the Iwohuangdao Police Station also has a patrol squadron of the South Kyushu. The Takashima Police Station also has a patrol squadron of the West Kyushu. Together, two stations have 20 medium-sized warships, 40 light warships, 80 speedboats, and thousands of artillery cannons alone. This is not considered a shore defense cannon.

Just because of the smelly fish and rotten shrimps in Japan, how can you fight with them?

~~

On the pier, more than a thousand coast guards lined up in a neat line, playing music to welcome Mr. Zhao to come for inspection.

If you look closely at the coast guards, you will find that the police uniforms worn by the police officers in the front rows are normal dark blue, while the police uniforms in the back rows are brown.

"Those who wear brown police uniforms are the auxiliary police officers recruited from the slaves of the Li Dynasty according to the instructions of the young master." Seeing Mr. Zhao looking at the guys in brown police uniforms, Rong Sheng, the director of the Jiuzhou Water Police Bureau, explained: "In order to enhance their sense of pride and belonging, they were also allowed to line up together."

In the Age of Discovery, the Europeans, especially the Portuguese, were able to support fleets and colonies all over the world with such a small population. The key was to recruit a large number of indigenous people, serve as servants in the colonies to maintain their rule, and be responsible for the main manual labor on the ship, such as moving shells, raising and setting sails.

Even the big navy used a large number of black slaves and Indians to reduce the demand for their own sailors.

The benefits and disadvantages of doing this are obvious. The advantage is that the same national sailors can be used to control more ships. They can liberate their national sailors from heavy physical labor and concentrate on improving combat technology. The disadvantage is that the loyalty and morale of the servants cannot be guaranteed. In order to maintain military discipline, they can only adopt severe punishments and laws to intensify the atmosphere of opposition on the ship. It will also breed the privileged ideas of national soldiers.

Mr. Zhao felt that the Ming Dynasty had the most lacking people, so he initially refused the servants.

But later, it became really delicious... With the establishment of many water police stations with low levels of confidentiality, the staff needed increased day by day.

If only the Ming police officers were used, the newly trained police officers in the Coast Guard School this year would not have to do anything else. Mr. Zhao did not want to spend a lot of money and trained coast guard officers and soldiers to be trapped in daily public security patrols and logistics services, day after day, to wipe out all their sharpness.

Moreover, the servants are cheap! The auxiliary police recruited from the officials and slaves of the Li Dynasty only pay one tael of silver a month, and five cannot catch up with one official coast guard. So it is difficult to resist this temptation...

So Mr. Zhao agreed to recruit some auxiliary police from the Li Chao workers in Xingang City and add them to various water police stations.

In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the water police station, it is still stipulated that "auxiliary police will not board the ship, carry guns or fire cannons." This means that they can only be used as laborers on land and military troops, patrol boats, transport ships, tugboats and other ships. However, it has greatly alleviated the dilemma of shortage of staff in various water police stations.

"I think you are trying to strengthen the storefront." Zhao Hao laughed and asked Rong Sheng: "How are these auxiliary police performing?"

"How do you say it?" Rong Sheng scratched his cheek and said, "It's too good. These guys train hard, work hard, and never cheat. They're simply too serious."

This is normal. Officials and slaves were all slaves in the Li Dynasty. Now that they have the opportunity to be human, they eat and wear warmly, just like dreaming. They are most afraid of being beaten back to their original form. Who dares to slack off? If there is fear of class decline, the group will naturally become inverted.

Moreover, if you perform well, you may get rid of your slave status and become an overseas employee of Jiangnan Group. Then, if you perform well and become a formal employee, you can become a naturalized Ming Dynasty and become a nobler existence than the Li Dynasty! If you have the hope of a class leap, you will naturally be reborn to the extreme... This is much better than simply giving money.

"It's just that I'm too cruel to the Japanese." He changed the subject again: "Now every time I catch people, I will draw my sword to chop people whenever I resist, so that the Japanese are not afraid of us, but rather afraid of them."

"That's right. Try not to let our people do it directly. If the Japanese hate them, they should be very much." Zhao Hao smiled and touched his chin. The sticks were indeed born to be the material for the second Japanese.

The psychological distortion of the officials and slaves will only make them worse.

"Yes, now they are the ones who jump to the gang when arresting people, and our people are in charge." Rong Sheng nodded with a smile and helped Mr. Zhao down the gangway.

"Salute!" Zhong Yuan, a police commissioner of the Coast Guard, shouted, and the Coast Guard soldiers saluted the gun.

In the passionate and progressive coast guard march, Mr. Zhao, accompanied by Rongsheng, inspected the coast guard troops and gave them enthusiastic speeches.

The coast guards looked at their Mr. Zhao excitedly, and bursts of applause were like thunder. The auxiliary police officers couldn't help but burst into tears, and their excitement seemed to see the Buddha.

The fanaticism of the convert is indeed not a burden, and it is also the number one convert in the Ming Dynasty...

After the speech, the officers and soldiers returned to the camp. Mr. Zhao cordially shook hands with the police officers one by one for discussion, and encouraged them with warm words.

Then there is the traditional program, having lunch with ordinary police officers.

The windows in the cafeteria are bright and there are flowers. It is obvious that he has cleaned them up specially.

However, Mr. Zhao did not point it out. In a group that pays attention to rules and discipline, formalism is inevitable.

This lunch is naturally very rich. In addition to various fish, shrimps and seafood, there are also rich vegetables, pork, beef and mutton... The food is better than the security area.

"The cafeteria is worrying about this meal." Mr. Zhao smiled at a third-level police officer sitting next to him, saying, "Can you usually eat half of this?"

The little policeman smiled honestly and said, "No."

“What are you eating?”

"The main thing is to eat seafood. You can eat eggs every now and then, and you can only have meat during festivals." The young police officer said, "But rice and steamed buns are full, and even if you eat seafood all day, you will almost vomit."

"Eat the mountains and the sea, and eat the sea. There are fishing grounds around the five islands. When patrolling, you can receive a lot of goods when you come back." Rong Sheng hurriedly smiled embarrassedly: "In addition, the supply of dried meat, dried fruits and meat sauce is in line with the daily nutrition standards stipulated by the Security Bureau... Of course, we still have many things to improve."

"The main reason is that the water police station is increasing. Now there are more than 2,000 police officers on the island and auxiliary police. All the islanders have moved away. They can only grow vegetables, pigs, cattle and sheep by themselves. There is still a shortage of supply." Zhong Yuan also quickly added: "We are already expanding our production capacity of side food, and we are also preparing to buy vegetables, fruits, and some live poultry and livestock from the neighboring islanders. Unfortunately, the Japanese do not eat meat and raise fewer people."

"Then encourage them to raise them." Zhao Hao smiled and said, "If they don't want to do it, let the lord give an order."

"The Yujiu family, the lord of the Five Islands, has been removed from the list." Secretary Ma whispered.

"Oh, if you forget this, it's even easier." Zhao Hao smiled and said to the bald man who was willing to accompany the last seat: "You just turn around and give the next order to assign the residents of the Five Islands to the Water Police Station. Isn't it difficult, right?"

The bald man was the Japanese old king who came to pay homage to Zhao Hao... Oh no, it should be Otomo Tomoto Solin. He heard his order and quickly spit out half of the roasted eel in his mouth in a veil, and nodded quickly:

"A small matter is a blessing for them to become the leader of the Celestial Empire!"
