Chapter 231 Marine Corps
Song Chen dared not use a hard core pen for official documents, as it was equivalent to challenging the imperial power.
Zhang Shun looked at the directory and looked confused. It was not that the words written by Song Chen were too ugly, but that the content inside was too avant-garde.
Zhang Shun dragged the "little benefactor" to ask him to explain the terms. After listening to Song Chen's explanation, he really became interested and immediately devoted himself to research.
First of all, the new military uniform, which is so comfortable, durable, easy to clean, looks energetic, and has a more imposing uniform when stomping, which is really attractive.
He could see this from the plan because Song Chen's "Naval Training Plan" was vividly depicted.
He immediately found the "little benefactor" and asked him to advance some money. He personally found a large cloth shop in Quanzhou to customize this kind of clothing.
Song Chen found that he had completely become a sucker. Now he had given up 2,000 guan and wrote a basket of memorials asking the court for silver. All of them were evaded and were excused. He was just waiting for the court to have surplus, and the money for building the yamen this time would be 5,000 guan alone.
Go to you, even Lao Jia seems to be sure. Song Chen is a rich sucker and hinted that he should supplement it first. Anyway, he is so rich that he is so angry that he stood up and slapped the table.
Alas, no matter what, all preparations are operating in an orderly manner.
One, one, one, one, two, one, one, one, set aside, rest a little.
When Song Chen came in wearing navy blue, the five hundred soldiers stood firm and saluted. Song Chen said a few words of encouragement to encourage them to actively train their combat skills, have an iron will, and can kill the enemy when they go to the battlefield.
Not to mention that after queue training, these soldiers are really imposing when marching in a regular stance. I don’t know which sage thought of the queue training. The army trained in a regular stance seems to have a new spirit.
Not only can the soldiers in the middle experience it, but even others can feel it.
Song Chen's transformation of the army was very thorough, involving all aspects, and he also had to fold the quilt into tofu blocks. He had to do a good job in personal hygiene every day. As for basic training, physical training, collaborative training, and adaptive training, all are available.
Song Chen often talks about some words. They are special military branches, full name is the Song Dynasty Marine Corps, and they must have combat effectiveness at sea and on land.
This time, Song Chen spent a lot of money. In the morning, he participated in the training as an ordinary soldier, and no one was left behind in every training.
He got along with these soldiers, did not make it special, washed his clothes, folded his quilts, and had dinner with the Marines.
Walking on a swing, a wooden board is shaking. It is really difficult for people to walk on it and not fall down. At this point, Song Chen is much better than others. After walking for a few times, he found a sense of balance.
This is an important part of naval training. The swing model prevents the bumps of the sea ship. It can walk back and forth several times on it, which proves that the sense of balance is good, which is very important in naval battles.
He was conducting physical training and ran a ten-kilometer rally every day. Naturally, Song Chen did not miss it. He ran so tired every time. Fortunately, he could keep up with the food and would be well supplemented.
Following Song Chen, there is one thing that can be guaranteed, that is, supplies. He even studied nutritional packages, knee pads, wrist pads, etc., which is to improve the comfort of soldiers' lives from all angles.
Song Chen was reserved about whether the armor was necessary. He said that he would not need to wear armor for the time being during training. At present, he did not intend to apply for armor from the Ministry of War (extra: even if the application is mostly rejected by the Minister of War Lu Shimeng, who has a gap), but there are still requirements for weight-bearing training.
At present, his focus is on developing long-range weapons. The weight of the armor will affect the flexibility and mobility of soldiers. In the era of hot weapons, armor has basically been eliminated. He has to devote his limited energy to more useful things.
After a period of training, every soldier, including Song Chen, felt a positive change, his mental outlook was completely renewed, and his physical fitness was improved.
Since Song Chen only spent half a day training every day, what was he doing during the rest of his time? He was not idle at all, collecting all the information about the Pu family, their account books, their trade lines, and all the dark history of their family.
The results are still very rich, but there is not much direct evidence. The court obviously has these evidences. There are private troops, private maritime trade, and an underground maritime bureau, conducting secret pirate activities, but these are not enough to defeat them.
This is far from enough. He must find deeper and larger black materials. For example, the ironclad evidence of the Pu family colluding with the Mongols. Song Chen knew that this was just his guess. Now he has not found out that the Pu family had colluded with enemies, and there is not even any rumor about catching wind and shadows.
This made Song Chen very upset. Song Chen knew that this was the only killer move that could deal with them. Only in this way would the court have the determination to deal with this half-separatist force.
The people of the Pu family are not stupid either. Quanzhou is far away from Mongolia. Even if the Song Dynasty is weak, it seems that there is no need to take the risk of colluding with Mongolia and testing the bottom line of the Song Dynasty.
In the original history, there is no direct written record that the Pu family had colluded with the Mongolian Empire very early on.
So what should I do? There is no evidence that he can ‘create’ himself, but Song Chen still doesn’t like to do this. It’s a bit despicable to blame him for being dirty like this.
But there is no way. Doing some despicable things for noble purposes is OK in Song Chen's philosophy of survival.
"Do you two King Kongs, do you know how the Chen family in Lin'an and the Pu family in Quanzhou are connected?" Song Chen knew the two King Kongs of the Imperial City Department, and must have known some "insider information".
"Well, the Pu family sent a family child to Lin'an to handle related matters!" Shang Yidao began to be serious when he heard Song Chen's problem.
"Yes!" Tianshan Tonglao was still the voice of the grandma who was completely intriguing. She had a little lack of confidence in her voice. This is rare. This girl has never felt inferior because of her voice. Even if she usually makes a little "cruel" joke, she doesn't look like her at all now.
"Say something I don't know!" Song Chen said.
Objectively speaking, even if this clue is not well-informed, he may have heard of it, but Song Chen has also made great efforts and he has also found out about it himself.
"Chenzi, what do you want to hear?" Tianshan Tonglao asked tentatively, her voice still seemed to be lacking in confidence. This girl was hesitating about why.
Shang Yidao winked behind him. He couldn't imagine a big man blinking his eyes and stomping his feet. The picture was so strong!
