The Nanyang Military Office, headed by Nanyang Minister Chen Mu, almost at the same time as the three guards of Kuwu sent the North Asia Melica vanguard fleet to set off, passed the proposal to add a military guard in Minduluo.

The military guard posts are the same as the other guards, but this time the difference is that they are not only actually affiliated with the Ming Dynasty, but also actually belong to the Ming Dynasty. In other words, this is also the only direct guard of the Nanyang Military Office.

In addition to more than 500 officers in the garrison, the military officers were trained by experienced staff and graduates from the first session of the Navy Lecture Hall, all the flag troops were recruited by Guangdong and Guangxi to select elite soldiers... Because Guangdong and Guangxi's flag troops could no longer select elite soldiers, anyone who had fought with Chen Mu in the past had been drawn.

Whether it is a bad habit in the army or a different tactic, Chen Mu thought about the difficulty of training, and simply recruited new recruits from the private sector except for the special positions that the servants could hold.

It’s true that the Nanyang specialty heroes’ story is the best recruitment manual. The recruiters sent to various places were half a month earlier than Chen Mu imagined. After deducting the round-trip voyage, they recruited a sufficient number of soldiers in just over a month, and took their family and military officials to Minduluo Island.

The commander-in-chief of the Military Guards was Zhang Shijue, the right guard of Guangdong in the past. He had just come out of the Navy Martial Arts Hall. Although he was not a real teacher when he was admitted to school, he was promoted to the next level. Just as the military guards were short of people, he was familiar with Chen Mu, so he was transferred here.

This is the case for most of the military guards, and Chen Mu's family soldiers were mostly used as the general flag of the small flag and did not compete for official positions with these graduates.

The servants are old soldiers in the war, but the martial arts lecture halls also have their strengths and their directions. Moreover, there are not many people in Chen Mu's servants who have more than 100 combat experience in the combat experience. Even if they are forced to promote them, they may not be able to improve their combat power.

It would be better to abuse your power and send some idle people to wait until winter to enter the fourth session of the martial arts lecture hall.

By this time, Chen Mu's early servants had a place to go, and the subordinate officers of the Nanyang Guards had their figures everywhere. In winter, a group of people would enter the martial arts hall, and in the end, there would be a hundred people left to stay by their side to take charge of the ceremonial guards and guards.

However, the young servants could no longer have any impact on Chen Mu, because the military guards did not have a garrison. Although their military fields were in Minduluo, the garrison was not in Minduluo.

Wherever the military palace is, their resident is wherever the military palace guards are Chen Mu, and they are wherever they are because their resident is Chihai Fleet, which is exactly wherever they are.

Since the Ming Dynasty, there has been little effort to improve the literacy of the people. There are three levels of official schools at the prefecture, prefecture, county, border, and guard level military schools, as well as social schools everywhere.

Teaching people to read also added legal publicity, the heavy criminal law and normal laws and regulations written by Emperor Taizu personally, including crowns, marriages, funerals, sacrifices and classics, and of course, there are traditional archery that lasted for thousands of years.

However, until now, Chen Mu's experience of military education is almost the same. The government still attaches great importance to it. However, most people have no chance to enter the school due to life. Even if the competitive pressure is too high, they may not be able to pass the school. Generally, they are elementary and social education.

There are many people who know how to read, but not many people.

A man on the street asked ten questions about whether he could read or not, and three or five of them answered affirmatively, but if he asked these people who could read a book on the Three Kingdoms without stumble, or wrote a letter to his home without drawing circles, there might be one or no one.

After all, children's education is just two thousand words, and women have few opportunities to receive education, so few people really have fluent literacy and writing skills.

Among a thousand people, there are only three or four poor scholars, and among a thousand people, there may not be a Juren.

But that's enough. Chen Mu recruited soldiers in Guangdong and Guangxi this time, not scholars, nor juren. He had low requirements, no disability, no brain problems, and could read the flag army laws in the flag army training manual and then he could go overseas to eat military rations.

These young people with a dream of heroes traveled across the ocean from Guangdong and Guangxi, and never expected that the first thing they did when they came here was to build a warehouse. After building the warehouse, they had to build barracks, move bricks and mud.

The bricks and tiles from Nanjing, the iron tendons from Foshan, and the cement from Nanyang Guard were sent to the Nanyang Military Mansion together with the grain ship, and there was not enough transportation at one time.

Chen Muzhe took this time to patrol Minduluo Island with Gao Gong and others, looking for suitable locations for setting up camps and defense. He finally chose the military palace to be located on the five-mile highland on the north coast of the island, with a port under it and a camp at three islands. However, for the time being, it is only for design and no consideration is given.

"This island will definitely not be the garrison of the military government for a long time, but the mines on the island are enough to dig for many years. Before the hollowing out, it must be in the hands of the Ming Dynasty. Even if the military government leaves in the future, a guard will be transferred to come."

Chen Mu took his subordinates to draw a topographic map and pointed to the north of the island with a charcoal pen and drew the shape: "Use a low five-angle bastion to build two layers inside and outside, and in the future, a ditch will be drawn from the port to circle the city. The road will be on the ditches, so that they can walk two more sections of roads."

As he said that, Chen Mu drew another straight line and said, "This city wall is finally rebuilt, and the city gate is placed on both sides to facilitate entry and exit. When the castle wall is built and the road is paved, outsiders will have to walk a little longer to attack the city."

Chen Mu said that, then pulled Xu Wei over, drew the castle on the sketch, and said, "How high is the city wall? Make sure that the heavy artillery flat fire can hit this position. The inner city wall is slightly higher, and it is enough to hit this."

Heavy artillery fires flat, usually at a distance of one thousand steps, and cannons can only hit the shore at an elevation angle. However, the distance is not powerful and not accurate, and the key is to defend the city or bird guns and cannons.

Chen Mu pointed to the topographic map, and Xu Wei Gaogong looked at it with interest. Suddenly, Chen Mu shook his head and said, "It's still too scattered."

“What’s too scattered?”

"Arithmetics are applied to the prism, and all aspects of proportion lack overall rules, such as how thick the wall should be, how many angles of the wall should be, the smallest power of the artillery cannons, and we don't have any regulations at hand."

After saying that, Chen Mu stopped and said, "First move materials and set up a warehouse to build a barracks for the flag army. Let the military weapon bureau and the martial arts lecture hall experiment, come up with the accurate regulations, and then build this military city."

"This is the first castle made of geometry and arithmetic. There will be more in the Ming Dynasty in the future. Once the regulations are established, as long as the ship can reach the coast, a city can be built in half a year!"

"I can do it even if I do it, but I do it too ugly. I still have to let the beauty know how to do it."

The military government briefly put aside and sent ships of supplies from the Pearl River Estuary to Minduluo. All the materials were quickly prepared. The Military Weapons Bureau and the Military Lecture Hall began to study the bastion at the same time. Chen Mu found the direction of the most difficult place, and the next step was much easier.
