Zhu Youxiao was standing on a high-rise building, holding a newly imitated monocular telescope from the Royal Academy of Engineering in his hand, adjusting the focal length from time to time, looking at the vast river surface in front of him and the Ming ships floating with the waves on the river surface.

Accompanied by the intense and powerful tide sound, on the school ground not far from the river, the soldiers of the Caojiang Navy continued to assemble, waiting for the review of His Majesty the current emperor.

The Caojiang Navy and Denglai Navy in Nanjing can be regarded as the most combat-effective navy in the Ming Dynasty, but in strict terms, it is not considered a navy. Perhaps it is more suitable to be called the Navy 6 Team, because the navy soldiers that Zhu Youxiao saw with his own eyes are no different from other Ming troops, including the Yuanyang Battle Robes, Muskets, Cannons, and various standard cold weapons.

Even if you practice now, you will only have simple actions such as chopping, stabbing, shooting, and chopping. The same is true for firearm operations. Putting gunpowder into the barrel, ignite the fuse, shooting, and even the order is a bit chaotic. Some soldiers can only watch other people's actions when operating.

All of the 6th Army tactical exercises and weapon configurations.

Xu Hongji blushed a little. He could tell from Zhu Youxiao's face that His Majesty was obviously not satisfied with the performance of these naval soldiers. He didn't know what His Majesty would do with him. Xu Hongji himself did not expect that Zhu Youxiao would suddenly review the naval soldiers, which caught him off guard.

"Commander Ye Zhen!" Zhu Youxiao gave an order, and Ye Zhen, commander of the First Battalion of the Suihu Imperial Guards, hurriedly walked forward: "The last general is here!"

"From now on, you will temporarily serve as the admiral of the Caojiang Navy. Together with the Duke of Wei, Xu Hongji, you will select 10,000 soldiers who are good at water and have courage, and then reorganize an Imperial Guard Navy. The specific screening mechanism is the same as recruiting new recruits of the Imperial Guard." Zhu Youxiao said that, and ordered Wu Jin to pass the order to Lu Xiangsheng, and he immediately dispatched the Denglai Navy to go south.

According to Zhu Youxiao's idea, he wanted to reorganize these two army-formed troops into the first navy of the Ming Dynasty Imperial Guard system. In short, he could not wait until he actually fought with pirates such as Zheng Zhilong and others to remember to form a navy. By then, he was afraid it would be too late.

At the same time, Zhu Youxiao ordered Wang Chengen and Wei Zhongxian to select a site to establish the Ming Naval Academy in Nanjing. He also ordered Tang Ruowang and other Western missionaries who were now recruited by the court and those who were good at water warfare in various places, and even issued an edict to the governors of the world to recruit pirates and bandits with good character, and selected their excellent candidates to be selected to be selected into the Ming Navy Academy to participate in the preparations for the establishment of the Ming Navy.

Scientific researchers such as Sun Yuanhua of the Royal Academy of Engineering have also received a team that will set up a special team for naval war artillery manufacturing. Like the establishment of the Ming Shipbuilding Bureau, from the reorganization training of soldiers and the training of reserve officers to the development of ship artillery, the emergence of the Ming Navy was just a natural thing.

And all this takes time.

However, the public security in Nanjing was not curbed by the death of Jiangning County Magistrate Ye Dingyi. On the contrary, the crime rate was still rising.

The gangsters are domineering, and the people dare not walk alone. The women who dare to dress up in men's clothes or dare to come out in women's clothes can only stay in the embroidery building. Wei Min'er from Lishui Pavilion did not dare to go out easily, especially after her little niece was almost robbed that day, she did not dare to take her little niece out for a second.

However, the entire Jiangnan yamen runners worked hard. Anyone who had a fight was smashed, could come immediately. However, under the secret control of the civil servant group, the yamen runners who handled the case were surprisingly rude to the people who committed the crime. After all, these troublemakers did not cause any death, and the Jiangnan officials who did not dare to easily commit suicide were helpless against these gangsters.

Moreover, Zhu Youxiao cannot blame him, because even if Zhu Youxiao did it himself, according to the Ming Dynasty law, he could only beat these gangsters up to a maximum of one blow or detain them for a few days. However, after these gangsters came out, they still committed crimes and bullyed the market.

It was dusk that day, and you could still see gangsters walking strode in Nanjing. These people might knock down the stalls of other vendors, then pick up the oranges that fell on the ground and send them into the water. The vendors didn't dare to say a few words, and there were even people who just picked up other people's chickens and ducks and ran away.

Of course, there are many people eating the King's meal. Some taverns even closed down because of this, and some big taverns had to rent some thugs, but this still affected the lives of the people. Some taverns even began to compete maliciously, and the phenomenon of hiring thugs to extort customers or customers in other taverns began to appear.

What is even more terrifying is that in Nanjing, there are people who blatantly sell human buns. At night, you can still hear the crying of women. Some narrow rivers may even float some naked female corpses. It is even more common for someone to lose their children.

It seems that intentionally or unintentionally, there is a force that has caused the economic and living order of the entire Nanjing city to chaos, and it is not even just Nanjing. Zhu Youxiao got news from the East Factory that this situation also occurred in the entire Jiangnan and even in Jiangxi and Anhui, and all caravans along the way were massacred.

"Your Majesty, I just got the news. Zhang Dai, the head of the Daming Daily, was beaten by more than a dozen gangsters when he returned home today. Fortunately, he was rescued by the people guarding the eunuch's house in time. In addition, someone directly burned the carriage of Mao Yuanyi's brother Mao Yuansheng. In the eyes of Weichen, these gangsters seemed to be consciously attacking my royalist party or your Majesty's new policy system, either fighting or robbing, but they did not hurt their lives, which made us unable to deal with them strictly, but this made our people panic. Your Majesty, do we see if our Dongchang should take action immediately to stop this riot."

Wu Jin was talking beside Zhu Youxiao and then made a knife-cutting action. Now the Dongchang can mobilize more than 500 forces in Jiangnan, so it is not impossible to take countermeasures against these gangsters.

Zhu Youxiao just smiled coldly and said, "This is not a riot, it's just a long-deliberate conspiracy. Well, the storm is about to come and the wind is everywhere. Let them make trouble first. Don't act rashly before Qin Botong's two battalions of imperial guards come;

However, my people still need to protect them, and secretly sent effective personnel to strengthen their protection for Wei Zhongxian, Mao brothers, Zhang Dai and other important members of the royal party. In addition, important officials and nobles in Nanjing must also strengthen their protection, beware that they take the opportunity to make the situation big and make me unable to come to Taiwan.”

"Abide by the order!"

Wu Jin responded, and at this time, Zhu Youxiao asked again: "You told me the day before yesterday that the late emperor's teacher Dong Qichang was going to invite friends of all ages and young people to reminisce in Lishui Pavilion. Is there any such thing?"

"It's because of this. Recently, scholars from all over the world, especially those in Fushe, are active frequently. At this meeting at Lishui Pavilion, the leader of Fushe, Zhang Pu, is also coming." After Wu Jin said this, Zhu Youxiao said: "Let's go and see, I want to know what these Jiangnan scholars are doing in a day. The riots in this wealthy and romantic place are at this point. Could it be that they still have the heart to sing the wind and play the moon?"
