I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

Zhang Nuo's task today is very simple, that is, to inspect these students and at the same time award them graduation certificates and military ranks. Only with these two things in hand can they be regarded as true naval officers.

At the same time, a group of new students enrolled today, but this group of students is a little different from them.

To put it bluntly, this group of them selected a group of command professionals from the second generation of the army for emergency, and then a large number of people with good physical conditions and a certain cultural background were transferred to technical positions.

This is just for emergencies. After they go out for a year or two, they still have to come back to continue their studies, but the learning at that time is also an exchange. They have to feed back what they have seen and experienced after they go out. Come to school.

But the new students are different. First of all, the origin of this group of people is different. Almost half of them are children from Lantian City. Their parents are basically soldiers who have been on the battlefield. Those who have studied in the schools in the city.

Among the same batch of graduates, they are basically divided into three parts. One is to enter the various management departments of Lantian City. They have the experience of living and studying in Lantian City in the past few years, and they have also received several years of new education. I don't know how much more adaptable people are than people from other places.

And the second one is to take over their own business. In recent years, many families in Lantian City have changed from workers to merchants. Apart from other things in Lantian City, their eyes can definitely be opened immediately. I will understand how to go in the future.

Those who open small shops in the city, and those who purchase goods and go out, these years, opportunities will always pity these courageous people who dare to go out.

So, now that their children have finally graduated, they naturally have to help the family. These big bosses don't know anything else, but they know one thing, that is, the students from the school opened by Zhang Nuo, even those with the worst grades, will settle their scores. Points and so on are many times better than those old accountants.

And the last batch are those who entered the army. These are basically mischievous and mischievous people who can't stay idle, or who hope to make a fortune for their families. These people originally wanted to defect to Li Shimin, but when they heard that Zhang Nuo recruited students here at the military academy, and the emperor couldn't speak well, so he came over immediately.

In their eyes, they are children from Lantian City, so why not go to someone else's house if they don't go to the city lord's army?

This is the army established by His Royal Highness King Qin, that is his own army, so he must go to his own army!

Chapter 732 Navy Graduate

On the playground of the Naval Academy, Zhang Nuo looked at the graduates standing neatly in front of him like rows of wheat, and then turned his head to look at the side. In the new student formation, Zhang Nuo smiled slightly and remained silent.

Just kidding, although these graduates have only been studying in school for one year, who would have thought that they would be training and studying almost all day long?

Moreover, this group of people has basically been in the army before. Although the army of the Tang Dynasty did not have so many and detailed requirements before, one thing is the same, that is, once the military order of the Tang Dynasty is issued, you must Complete without compromise.

Being overdue or missing the deadline is not a joke. Li Guang was cheated to death like this back then. Among the generals of the Tang Dynasty, basically all of them have been on the battlefield in person, so they know the importance of discipline better. Sexuality, on the battlefield, like disobedience in later movies, there is absolutely no such thing as being unable to hold back, running out, and taking the soldiers by yourself like in the movies.

In the era of the Tang Dynasty, if you dare to do this, hehe, if you can’t get the military order and want to transfer troops privately, the military commander will dare to pull someone to force you to tie him up, or even if you move too much, you will be arrested on the spot. It's okay if you cut it.

Because of this, even if they are trained like grandchildren by the instructors of their own family, the second generation of the army will obediently listen to lectures and obey orders, because this is a habit they have developed since childhood. This is the case at home, if you disobey the order, you will really be beaten to death.

And with such a group of people taking the lead, other people will naturally follow the crowd. After all, even these dignitaries didn’t complain of suffering or tiredness. Could it be that you, a farmer, can’t handle it?

So the result of this year is that the two square teams stand together and are completely different from each other, and those new recruits look like weak chickens.

But Zhang Nuo didn't care about these things. Weak chickens are fine now, and we'll find out after a few months. Those instructors who stood alone and formed a square formation with smiles on their faces would tell them what is real. Military training.

Zhang Nuo looked at the phalanx of graduates closest to the podium in front of him, coughed lightly twice, and then said seriously,

"Boys, it's finally time for you to graduate, and you can finally leave this place that you have hated for a long time!"

"I know it's hard for you to suffer and suffer here, but luckily, you survived. Now when you look back and think about what you were like when you first entered this school, you will remember how much you have changed!"

"Of course, if you can't remember, you can look next to you. There are living examples there. They look exactly like you did at the beginning."

Zhang Nuo is obviously a joke to relax the atmosphere, but such a joke is very useful to the graduates. Everyone turned their heads and looked at the group of weak chickens next to them with eyes like watching the excitement or watching rare animals. .

They have reason to be proud. It is actually very easy to figure out who is the boss and who is the second in the army. Those with strong strength, senior experience, and high military rank are all three requirements for being the boss. If you meet a little bit, you can do well. If you meet two points, you can basically be the boss, and if you meet three points...

It's a pity that at present, this group of graduates has surpassed all three points in front of this group of recruits. In terms of strength, they have already graduated and completed the assessment, which is naturally the best proof of strength.

In terms of qualifications, if you enter and graduate one level higher than you, you will have to rely on you in this regard for the rest of your life. As for military ranks, hehe, sorry, only graduates who pass the assessment can receive military ranks and become an official soldier , to support himself with military pay every month.

And when you were still in school, you were just a student wearing a military uniform, and the military rank has nothing to do with you.

This group of newcomers are all terrified by the graduates next to them, but they can't get angry. They are all smart people, and they know that this is just a little "care" from the seniors for the juniors. When they graduate, they don't even need to graduate. By next year, maybe They will be able to enjoy the fun of "caring for" newcomers.

After Zhang Nuo made some kind of joke, he continued to return to the topic,

"From today onwards, you will be a serious Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty. Even, your meaning is different from others, because you will be the first navy to board the ship!"

"You all know that I am actually the first navy and the first admiral of the Tang Dynasty. There is no way, I have put a lot of effort into building this army!"

"However, the first captain, the first fleet captain, the first fleet commander, the first naval base commander and other honors will all be won by you."

"Everyone has studied the new military rank system and knows the relationship between our rank and position, then you should know that compared to the army that is still traveling on two legs, you are so happy! "

"You have no shortage of battles, because the area of ​​the ocean is too large, and you can easily find a country!"

"You are not short of supplies, because in the future you will be able to supply wherever there is a port, even if there is no port, you can still purchase supplies locally!"

"You don't need promotions, as long as you do your best, you can climb up!"

"I know that many of you are the children of generals. However, your father is outdated, and only you are the real future!"

"In the future, it is very likely that your father will take the troops out to sea on your ship, and then go to other places to fight under your escort!"

"In the future, it is also possible that the telegram you received asking for artillery support was sent by your father, and you need to take the boat to save lives!"

"Even one day you will find that your father has to salute you!"

"And all of this will start today, but whether it can be done or not depends entirely on you!"

"I will train you and give you opportunities. But in the final analysis, you have to fight for the glory yourself. Don't think about anything messy. When you leave this school, you will no longer be children who need parents and elders to take care of you!"

"From the moment you walk out of this school, you not only have to live for yourself, but also live for your brothers who are on the same boat with you!"

"Boys, congratulations on graduating!"

Chapter 733 The Navy Has Left the Port

Zhang Nuo's speech has a very strong personal style, but everyone present is very familiar with and likes this style.

Whether it is today's graduates or those new students, who has long been used to dealing with His Highness King Qin?

It can even be said that these new students are no less familiar with Zhang Nuo than the old students. You must know that they are all residents of Lantian City, and they can often see King Qin coming down on the street from time to time when they go to school or after school. .

Of course, Zhang Nuo often went to school. After all, it was his own reserve talent base, so he had to take care of it no matter what.

Zhang Nuo talked on the stage for more than ten minutes, and the most important and exciting part of the whole graduation ceremony came, the awarding of military ranks and graduation certificates to graduates.

Looking at Cheng Chumo who was the first to come up to the stage, Zhang Nuo was a little speechless. How did this idiot become an outstanding graduate?

But looking at the energetic jerk saluting him in front of him, Zhang Nuo could only return the salute, hand him the certificate in his hand, and change him to the rank of lieutenant himself.

Don't underestimate the rank of lieutenant, just this lieutenant is an award for outstanding students, and the rest of the graduates are all second lieutenants.

This is naturally Zhang Nuo's decision, although it seems that it is a bit of a joke to make a lieutenant or even a second lieutenant the captain of a warship, and it can even be said that all the command and management technicians on the entire ship are all of the same rank, which is a bit difficult to manage.But in fact, this is also impossible.

After all, after the first batch of navies are trained, they all have to board the ship, and once on the ship, they must not only respect the military rank, but also respect the positions on the ship. In the navy, unless a ship becomes the flagship of the fleet and the fleet commander The officer is on this ship, otherwise, anyone on this ship has to obey the captain's instructions.

This is to maintain the majesty of the captain, and at the same time to ensure the safety of the ship's navigation. After all, it is not a good thing to have multiple doors.

After Zhang Nuo finished lunch with these graduates and freshmen in the big cafeteria, the graduates had to follow him on board the boat.

This time Zhang Nuo is both the principal, the officer and the passenger. He will watch these graduates conduct an offensive and defensive drill at sea, and then sail to Dengzhou.

Then they have to board the airship in Dengzhou to pick up Zhang Nuo and return to Chang'an with Zhang Nuo. They will have a month's vacation to spend time with their families and make preparations for their next trip.

The reason why Zhang Nuo wanted to bring these little bastards back was because they hadn’t been home for a long time, and he had to let them go to have a look. The ones that have been cultivated finally look a little better, so naturally they have to go back and show off, and let those local beetles know that the ones I cultivated are not the same as your local beetles.

When Zhang Nuo arrived at the port, a large sailboat with the name "Dingyuan" painted on its sails was quietly parked at the port, and after that, there were more than a dozen other warships neatly lined up in the port. Behind, gently swaying with the waves.

This ship Dingyuan will be the flagship of the First Fleet of the Datang Navy. There are already sailors on it, and these sailors have also undergone a year of training, but the content of their training is different, except for the basic In addition to the study of military appearance and discipline, they also have to learn related knowledge of artillery maintenance and firing, close combat, sea navigation, etc.

Don't think that being a sailor at sea is easy, at least some basic knowledge must be learned.

Otherwise, there will be an unfortunate time when a person falls into the sea alone. At least with this knowledge, there will be a little more chance of surviving.

Although there is only such a short one-year training here, at least this group of people can be regarded as qualified sailors at present. After all, the training content of sailors is much less than that of officers.

Zhang Nuo led his men directly onto the ship, and the others also boarded their warships, which had been assigned long ago. After all, they had to go on board for internships during the year, whether they were officers or sailors.

If you just talk about theory, it’s useless. If you don’t practice it, you will be trained as a typical academic talker. Zhang Nuo will not relax your requirements just because you want to stay in school.

The theory on Zhang Nuo's side is that even if you want to stay in school to teach, you have to go to sea for a year or two before talking about it. If you don't have any practical experience, you can teach you shit in class.

And during these internships, the officers and sailors are constantly familiarizing themselves with each other. At present, all the personnel on board are overstaffed.

After all, on the one hand, there are not enough warships now, and they have to be produced slowly. On the other hand, it is also because more people are put on a ship, so that they can take turns commanding and operating, and at the same time they can discuss and learn.

In this way, as soon as the new ships are in place at that time, this group of people can be pulled out, and a small fleet can be expanded immediately.

It’s just that at the moment, it’s not enough, not only the boats are not enough, everyone’s experience is not enough, this sea voyage, not only written knowledge is enough, there are many things that I haven’t really faced a few times, It felt completely different.

After Zhang Nuo boarded the boat, he naturally had a way to make himself comfortable. It is winter now, so it would be good to have a small charcoal stove, and then spread a quilt on the recliner, make a cup of tea and sit on it. , It's so flattering.

As for sailing matters, I left it all to these people. To be honest, he didn't know much about many things now, so I might as well leave it to these youngsters to handle it themselves.

Zhang Nuo listened to the shouts on the ship and nodded in relief. This is the characteristic of the navy. Since many things on the ship require the cooperation of many people, the best way is to speak more and make every order. Coordinate actions.

Of course, maybe they will have a tacit understanding in the future, even if they don't shout, they can cooperate to complete it.

However, don't pin your hopes on this. What the military wants is universality. What is applicable to everyone is the best. If you can do better, that's very good, but never doubt what you do.

Zhang Nuo knew what these people were doing and was about to go to sea, so the captain's first thing to do was to take people to inspect the entire ship.

This is what a captain must be aware of. A captain who doesn't even know the specifics of his own ship is basically useless.

At the same time, all departments must thoroughly check the things they have in hand. You must know that if you really reach the sea, you will have to fight with the world. Any carelessness will be fatal!

Chapter 734

Zhang Nuo's life at sea was actually much better than before, not only because he had already had experience in sailing at sea several times, but more importantly, the weather was good this time.

You must know that when this channel was first opened to navigation, the time he came up was violent and stormy, and he basically vomited out non-stop in those few days.

But this time the voyage was completely different. Although the Dingyuan ship under her feet was not a behemoth-class warship, it was not a small ship in this day and age.

When sailing at sea, one should look at the weather and the boat. The weather is good and the boat is big enough, which naturally makes the voyage more comfortable.

Of course, another very important reason is that not only these ten warships came out this time, but they were also dragging some merchant ships and fishing boats that were about to be scrapped.

These are prepared for exercises. After all, everything in the Navy is new. Although everyone has learned a lot of theoretical knowledge, they have no practical experience after all.

Instead of using your life to pay the tuition, it is better to participate in more exercises and find problems during the exercise.

Zhang Nuo attached great importance to this. This is not a joke. No matter how good the test scores of the students trained in the military academy are, there is still a big gap between them and the real army commanders.

Not to mention anything else, let's just talk about the on-the-spot response. Seasoned commanders have sufficient experience to deal with various difficult and miscellaneous diseases. Even if they have never seen it, at least there will be a countermeasure. Let the situation not worsen.

But the graduates of the military school who just left the school are miserable. They have a lot of experience. Slowly enriched in the work.

For the exercise arranged by Zhang Nuo, these graduates have no objection, because even in the old army they all know that the exercise is necessary. When Zhang Nuo was staying in Chang'an City, he could often see the soldiers on the left and right. Wei's large-scale drill.

There are even injuries and even deaths during the drills every year, which shows the intensity of the drills.

This is a good opportunity to ensure the combat effectiveness of troops during non-combat times, while improving the commanding level of commanders and verifying new tactics.

The exercise at sea arranged by Zhang Nuo this time is also for the same purpose.

The content of the exercise is very simple, search, bombardment, connection, and captives. From the very beginning, the search for the enemy fleet is the beginning of the exercise, and then the entire fleet bombards the enemy. reduce the opponent's chances of escaping.

And then there is the connecting battle, which is the legendary jump gang. The sailors need to rush from their own ship to the opponent's ship through the springboard and cables, and finally capture the entire ship and finally win the entire fleet.

In fact, such a tactic is not so much a naval tactic as a pirate tactic. At least in Zhang Nuo's memory, it seems that the pirates in Pirates of the Caribbean played it this way.

However, it has to be said that every item of the exercise is purposeful. If the two countries are really engaged in a battle at sea, then the shelling time should be extended. In the end, if you can capture any prisoners, it will be fine.

You must know that Zhang Nuo was still in a daze for a long time when he got this exercise plan. Is this Nima a naval academy or a pirate base? When he rushed towards the opponent's ship with a knife in his mouth and a small ax hanging from his waist, he felt like he was watching a realistic version of a pirate movie blockbuster.

According to the regulations of the exercise, at the beginning, a ship dragged all these exercise ships out of the main channel, and then hid aside to serve as an observation post for the exercise.

After leaving for a whole day, the first thing the naval fleet had to do was to find this fleet. Fortunately, everyone did a good job. After analyzing various factors such as wind direction, ocean current, and time, they comprehensively judged the approximate position and range.

After that, it was time to investigate the target area. It took only half a day for the navy fleet to find the "fleet" floating in the sea without a person.

But the naval fleet was not careless, and strictly followed the requirements of the exercise as an actual combat. First, it quickly maneuvered with full sail to seize the T prefix, and then all the ships opened fire one by one, and the indiscriminate bombing made holes all over there.

After that it's a quick approach, assigning a target and getting on board.

And the scene that Zhang Nuo saw before was the last gang jumping and captive part. These men who have been learning and practicing, and have basically adapted to life at sea, can basically make everyone on the boat feel like they are walking on the ground. , Naturally, you won't be afraid of this kind of gang fight.

The exercise ended in the afternoon. Of the seven or eight boats that were pulled out, only three remained, and these three were still in dilapidated condition. If the craftsmen on board hadn't urgently repaired them, it is estimated that these boats were messed up. It will sink if it does not reach the port.

At this time, Zhang Nuo didn't care about the outdated broken ships. He was participating in the exercise seminar. This meeting was held to summarize the problems that occurred during the exercise and propose solutions.

A good exercise is necessary from the initial preparation, to the middle execution and the final reflection. Without the final reflection, the effect of the exercise will be at least half less.

And it's not just these officers who have to reflect, even after arriving at the port, they have to hold a plenary meeting, and everyone in the fleet must participate, and the departments and ships will continue to discuss the problems existing in the exercise.

This is not a joke. None of these people have real voyage experience. Even if they study well, they will inevitably have flaws in the face of reality, and sometimes a negligence that has not been discovered now can pull the whole ship in time. people died.

This is not just a reminder from Zhang Nuo, in fact, this kind of thing has happened in the military before, and the problems exposed during the drill are often the kind that can surprise people.

There are even a few issues that can be directly brought to the emperor's case. After all, it involves national defense security and the stability of the army, and it cannot be overemphasized.
