Boyang, Wangjiangwan Wharf, this is the base chosen by the secret naval division of the Northern Army. When Ma You first arrived in Boyang, he originally planned to use the Linjiang Wharf in Boyang County as a military terminal, but after Cao Xinyu came out of the mountain, he immediately denied this plan. The naval terminal is for military use. Although the Navy Navy is still talking about military affairs on paper and has nothing, it cannot be mixed with civilian docks. Not to mention the mixed secret leakage of military and civilians, the protection and construction of military facilities are a big problem. The navy needs a series of supporting measures such as water camps, and cannot occupy the houses around the Linjiang Wharf for construction. If it is built there, how about the word "secret"?

Wangjiang Bay is dozens of miles away from Boyang County. A tributary gathers and is surrounded by two mountains to form a natural good harbor. Although the investment is larger, in the long run, it is obviously more suitable for the strategic planning of the Governor's Office of the Northern Army.

The 1,000 elite Northern Army soldiers brought by Ma You entered Boyang County in the name of garrisoning Boyang, and half of them arrived here to camp. All camp construction and water villages and dock construction were completed by these soldiers, and the shift was rotated every half month.

In a few months, the Wangjiangwan Wharf has begun to take shape. The water village on the shore and the looking tables on the mountains on both sides have been built. The long crescent-shaped water village extends from the waters at the foot of the mountain on both sides, surrounding the entire port. The gate of the water village is enough to allow the largest five-mass warship of the Jingzhou Navy to enter and exit easily. Dozens of such warships can be stopped in and out of the entire port. If you look from the outside, this navy jetty is already very popular. But when you enter the water village, you will find that it is too cold inside. There is no permanent mooring wharf because it requires a lot of labor and financial resources. The General Office of the North is unable to pay at all. Moreover, the navy has not seen a single warship, except for a dozen small sampans. Each boat can only sit on the dozens of people. The empty water surface makes the water village look particularly large.

When Yun Zhao was accompanied by Hong Anbang, he suddenly arrived at Wangjiangwan Water Village, shocked the Zhenwu Captain who was on duty. Except for more than a hundred guards and the two guards on the mountain on both sides, the other soldiers did not know where to go. The entire water village barracks seemed particularly quiet.

"Subordinate Hu Jing. I have seen the Grand Commander!" The captain Zhenwu looked at the leader of the Northern Army. The legend Yun Zhao in their hearts suddenly appeared. He was speechless.

Looking around the huge water village, Yun Zhao nodded and looked back at Hong Anbang, "Cao Xinyu still has a few brushes. This water village is well built. Oh, by the way, Ma You. Cao Xinyu, where have you gone? Why don't you see them?"

"Report to the Grand Commander General Ma and General Cao are leading the army to train."

"Training? Take me to see. I want to see Cao Xinyu promised to give me an elite sailor team in three months. How would he train?" Yun Zhao couldn't help but be very interested. Speaking of which, although he could swim, he was only a little higher than the level of a landlady. He basically knew nothing about water.

"Governor, please come with me!" Hu Jing was already excited and even excited after the initial panic. Now, the chance of seeing Yun Zhao was almost slim. But not only did he meet him today, but he also reported it in person, and his complacentness was beyond words. I believe that after this matter, he would definitely become the object of envy of his comrades and he also had the capital to brag, and he could even use this matter to trick his comrades into drinking a few meals.

Walking up the highest tower of the water village, Hu Jing pointed at the water surface, "Governor, look, the two generals are there now!"

Holding his hands on the railing, Yun Zhao leaned forward, trying hard to see clearly above the water surface. More than a dozen small sampans shuttled and returned, but there were very few people standing on the boat, mostly slumping on the boat like dead fish. On the water surface, countless heads were floating and heavy, but soldiers were fluttering in the water.

"That's General Ma! He was caught!" Hu Jing suddenly pointed to the water and said loudly.

When Yun Zhao looked closely, the guy who was taken out of the water with a big net bag was indeed a bit like a horse friend. He was wearing only a pair of calf shorts and was naked. He was like a big white fish when he was poured out of the net bag and collapsed on the boat like a dead fish like everyone else.

It seems that Ma Yi was very difficult to train properly. As an intermediate general, he was one of the earliest generals to follow Yun Zhao and was also a guy with a background in the Zhengbei Army. Ma Yigong, Director of the Records and Finance Department and one of the core figures of the Zhengbei Governor's Office, is his cousin, which is indeed rare.

"General Ma has been practicing like this?" Yun Zhao asked with a smile.

"Yes, but I didn't work so hard before. Since I came back from Shuntian Mansion, the two generals were like injecting chicken blood...uh...I!" Suddenly, I realized that I had missed my mouth and told the Grand Governor privately about the discussions I had with my comrades. If this was reached into the ears of the two generals, I would have suffered. Hu Jing blushed and was at a loss.

"It doesn't matter, I won't tell them!" Yun Zhao smiled and said, "You say it boldly!"

"The two generals recruited officers first and said that they could not develop strong water skills within two months, so they would go home to farm. General Ma You set an example and said that if he couldn't practice, he would be the first to go out to fight the Northern Army and the governor. In this way, the one who dared not to fight for his life, especially General Ma was the first to go into the water every day and the last to go ashore. How could other people practice without fighting for their life?"

Yun Zhao said it was three months, but when he arrived here, it turned into two months. Yun Zhao smiled and knew that Ma You's thoughts. In the Northern Army, there were many outstanding generals. Not only were there many new people, but there were more and more veterans. Not to mention Meng Yao Ding Qiu Yan Xiao Yi Su Ding Fang, later Huo Zhenting Wan Shichang Park De Meng Zhou Guangyi, even Li Fugui Wang Qiang, had shown extremely excellent general talents, but Ma You has always had a rare opportunity to perform in this regard. He has been pulled away from afar in the army. Obviously, in the army, there is no capital to compete with them. Just so happened that Yun Zhao gave him a chance to establish a navy. How could Ma You not fight desperately?

"Will there be casualties in this way of practicing?" After watching for a while, Yun Zhao suddenly became worried.

"Yes!" Hu Jing's face dimmed slightly, "Since the start of training, more than a dozen brothers have drowned! But there is no danger there. When we were in the Fifth Battalion, we often had accidental injuries and deaths during training."

"A dozen people!" Yun Zhao murmured.

"Governor, military training, there are immortals, not to mention that these people were not familiar with water. It is impossible to go from nothing to elite troops without paying a price."

"Yes, I hope every effort is valuable! These soldiers who died in training must be given pensions according to the specifications of the soldiers who died in battle. They also died for the Northern Army!"

"Governor-in-chief!" said Hong Anbang.

The sun in the sky was in the middle, and the heads that were flapping in the water were caught on the boat one by one by one, but some people waved their arms and swam hard towards the shore, and a boat followed closely behind them.

"Why is this?" Yun Zhao pointed at the people and asked, "Why don't those people get on the boat?"

"This is General Cao's rule. Anyone who can swim back to the shore by himself after training Killing Speed ​​can add a bowl of braised pork! Hehehe, Governor, when his subordinates are training, they can eat braised pork every day!"

Yun Zhao laughed, "It seems that your water quality is already good!"

"I used to be a little bit watery, so it's naturally easier to practice."

Yun Zhao had already guessed it in his heart, and nodded with a smile, but his heart was a little heavy. Braised pork in one night could make the soldiers work harder, and the food in the army was still too bad! It is also because the stall is too big now, and even if he wants to improve the food of the soldiers, he is still unable to catch it. He can only eat one bite and walk step by step.

"I guess there are a lot of fish here, so why don't you fish and eat it?" Hong Anbang asked suddenly.

Hu Jing smiled bitterly, "When we first came, everyone loved to eat fish. In the past, we rarely ate fish in the north, but after eating fish for several months, we boiled fish every day, and lacked oil. Everyone lost their appetite. When they saw the fish stool was sour, who could still eat it!"

"Scarcity is precious. In the north, ordinary people really can't eat fish. If your former brothers from the Fifth Battalion heard you say this, they will be furious!" Yun Zhao smiled and said, "The life will get better and better in the future. I promise you that in a while, everyone will have meat to eat every meal and eat meat to grow strong, and then they will have the strength to fight!"

"Thank you for your care and love!" Hu Jing said happily. "The two generals are going ashore, I'll report!"

On the river bank, soldiers who had already prepared had lifted the fallen soldiers one by one from the ship, but Ma You supported himself to climb down. As the general of this army, being lifted down was indeed unsightly. As soon as his feet were stepped onto the ground, he almost fell down. Cao Xinyu, who had jumped from another ship, stepped forward and held him.

At this time, Cao Xinyu was still wearing armor, but with barefoots, "Old Ma, is it okay?"

"It's okay, I'm just a little dizzy!" Ma You smiled bitterly, "Old Cao, did you practice this way?"

Cao Xinyu smiled, "I am from the south and I have grown up by the water since I was a child. This water nature has been practiced since childhood. If we have to practice it in such a short time now, it will naturally be a little harder."

"But it is still very effective. There are more people who can swim ashore today!" Ma You gasped, "Tomorrow, I will also swim up by myself!"

As the two were talking, Hu Jing ran over with a blush on his face, "General Ma, General Cao, Governor is here!"

"What?" Ma You raised his head, thinking he had heard it wrong. "Who did you say is here?"

"The governor is here, the governor!" Hu Jing said loudly.
