Amidst the sound of dense military drums, Young Master Zhao, surrounded by a group of senior police officers, stepped onto the reviewing platform.

Even Mr. Gao Jie changed into the same police uniform, but without the police rank. The old man was already very imposing, and now he dressed up specially, looking neat and energetic, like an old general, standing beside Mr. Zhao with his head held high and his chest puffed out.

Standing on Zhao Hao's right was Zheng Ruozeng, who was dressed similarly. The old gentleman tried to refuse in every way, but he could not resist Mr. Zhao's request and had to go on stage as well.

As one of the two founders of Zhao Hao's naval theory, this punitive action against Japan is a complete reflection of Zheng Ruozeng's concept of sea power. How could he miss such a grand ceremony?

When everyone lined up on the stage, Tong Zigong shouted, "Salute!"

Amid the sound of heels hitting each other, fully armed police officers saluted, unarmed police officers saluted, and four thousand pairs of eyes were fixed eagerly on the generals on the high platform. There were the famous hero who fought against the Japanese pirates, Director Tong who loved his soldiers like his own sons, and Master Zhao, the object of their loyalty.

The ceremony was presided over by the deputy commander of the garrison, Jin Ke, who first led all the police officers to sing the "Police Song" written by Zhao Gongzi for the Tamra Garrison:

"I have traveled thousands of miles riding the wind and have returned, I have traveled alone to the East Sea with the spring thunder! How can I bear to see the world lose its color, and let the country fall into ruins?

"Even if wine does not wash away the tears of worrying about the country, we should rely on the talents of the masses to save the country. Even if a hundred thousand heads and blood are sacrificed, we must save the world!"

Zhao Hao, dressed in military uniform, also sang this song earnestly with the soldiers. The song was composed by Xu Wei and adapted from the patriotic poem by the heroine Qiu Jin.

He originally wanted to borrow from the British or Japanese naval songs to compose an exciting and majestic march for the soldiers, but as soon as he picked up the pen, all he could think of were the faces of the invaders. Ugh, disgusting!

What finally landed on paper was Qiu Jin's strongest voice full of patriotic enthusiasm. He felt that every word of this poem could resonate with him the most. Nothing could better convey his heroic words and vows to all the soldiers than this poem!

Of course, this sonorous and powerful singing can be so infectious, and it is also inseparable from the good music composition.

You have to admit once again that the gap between genius and mortal is really huge. The lonely painter is not only the best poet among military strategists and the best calligrapher among dramatists, but also has perfect attainments in music. As the saying goes, you are proficient in everything, but you still can't live a good life...

Only a man like him, who has a broad mind, is highly talented and well-informed, and has experienced ten years of fighting against Japanese invaders and witnessed the country's corruption, can fully appreciate the painful and gloomy background of this poem; understand why Zhao Hao is so worried about the country and the people, and why he is so anxious? Naturally, he can also understand how precious it is to be generous, positive, and determined in despair!

The first time Xu Wei was brought up by Mr. Zhao, his eyes turned red and his nose was sore. With a lofty and passionate mood, he composed this passionate music - first with a huge and majestic drum beat, accompanied by a rhythmic cymbal, to set the surging tone. Then he used the zhongruan to play the gripping main melody!

The simple coordination of three musical instruments constantly pushes the singer's emotions to the highest peak. In the rough and majestic chorus of the soldiers, the emotions of national destiny and indignation are directly rendered into everyone's mind!

The small room is empty, and thousands of families are sleeping soundly. Who else but me can decide the rise and fall of the world? !

For the rejuvenation of China, I will have no regrets even if I die nine times!

Go to sea! Go to sea! Go to sea!

~~

Mr. Gao, who had a brain disease, could actually sing along clearly, with tears streaming down his face. I wonder what the song reminded him of.

After singing a passionate and exciting military song, Jin Ke asked Mr. Zhao to give a speech.

Zhao Hao first solemnly announced to the soldiers that the Ming Royal Shipping Company was officially established last month. With the approval of Emperor Longqing, the Sun and Moon Flag was designated as the Ming Royal Shipping Flag. In the future, all ships under the Ming Royal Shipping force must fly the Sun and Moon Flag as a maritime identity identification.

A rumbling salute was sounded on the flagship, and the blue cloth curtain on the windshield wall behind the platform was slowly pulled apart to both sides by a pulley, revealing a huge flag on the wall. The flag was bright red, with a yellow sun and a crescent moon in the center, hanging high above all living beings.

Wherever the sun and the moon shine, all is the king's territory. Wherever the fleet goes, everyone obeys!

Under this solemn flag with the sun and the moon shining together, Master Zhao delivered a speech to his soldiers entitled "Our journey is the vast ocean."

"Some of you know me, some don't. Let me introduce myself again. I'm Zhao Hao, the head of the Ming Royal Shipping Corporation, the chief inspector of the Coast Guard, and your boss!"

"I am very pleased to see you all here today, dressed in neat uniforms and ready to go. Some of you are from security teams, some are from shipping companies. We have come together from all over the world and have a common identity - the Coast Guard!"

A pair of huge iron microphones were placed in front of Master Zhao, so that his voice could be clearly heard by all the soldiers below the stage.

"Many people are wondering what the hell the coast guard is. Are they soldiers for the imperial court, errand boys for the government, or private bodyguards?"

Upon hearing this, the police officers in the audience couldn't help but smile embarrassedly. This is indeed the confusion of many people.

"We Chinese people always do things in a legitimate way, so today I want to make you understand what the Coast Guard is and why we fight!" Young Master Zhao said, looking at Tong Zigong holding the ebony stick, and smiled faintly:

"I believe you all will remember the first lesson Director Tong taught you when you first entered the training brigade."

The four thousand soldiers tensed up at the same time, and immediately recalled that during the training of the new recruits, Tong Zigong waved the spirit injection stick and gave a sharp speech:

'You have joined the security team (police force), and even if it rains or shines, you still have to eat meat three times a day. The monthly money is more than that of the government soldiers, and there is no arrears of wages. This money is all from the Jiangnan Group, and it is all spent by the young master. Who among you at home is not a farmer? If you think about the hardship of farming and making money at home, you should think about how easy it is to eat today. You don't have to farm and work, and I support you in the future, but I hope that when someone threatens the group and the young master, you will kill the enemy! If you are unwilling to kill the enemy to protect the group, what is the point of the young master raising you? Even if the young master is kind and raises you in vain, I will beat your ass a thousand times a thousand times! ”

These words actually come from Qi Jiguang's training to new soldiers. No one in the world knows how to train soldiers better than Qi. Because his soldiers, from the generals down, can tell the difference between a single person and a single person, Qi Jiguang often uses such straightforward and rude words to convey his meaning to them in a simple and clear way.

Of course, Marshal Qi would not use such despicable words as "I will blow your ass a thousand times" to threaten his soldiers. What he said was "God will give manpower to kill you", but the effect is actually the same.

How many people join the army just to have something to eat? For those who can't even get enough food, talking about patriotism and honoring their family is nonsense. Only when they have food to eat and feel at ease can they train well, gain experience in future battles, see the hope of crossing the class in military achievements, and finally completely transform themselves into real soldiers.

Didn't Jin Ke, Wang Rulong, Zhu Jue, Tong Zigong, Ma Yinglong and others all come this way step by step? So they will also use the same method to brainwash this group of illiterates who know nothing and are just here to make a living. With strict training, clear military discipline, perfect guarantees, and generous treatment, the army they forge will naturally be good.

But the situation here is different from that of Qi's army. Qi Jiguang recruited soldiers to fight against the Japanese invaders, which naturally had the bonus of defending the country, so as long as they were given moral admonitions and religious indoctrination, the soldiers would easily understand who they were fighting for and why they were fighting, and then the army would have a soul - the so-called military soul!

The military soul is like the spiritual pillar of the army. Only an army with soul can have faith and belief, maintain morale in adversity, never give up in desperate situations, and be invincible!

This is the secret of the Qi Family Army's invincibility. If Mr. Zhao cannot make his soldiers develop a military spirit, then no matter how generous the treatment he gives, no matter how many thousands of years Director Tong sends to kill, his Coast Guard will still be just a showpiece with a form but no spirit!

Again, the Coast Guard may be as good as Qi's army in a favorable situation, after all, the equipment gap is there. But once they are at a disadvantage, no one knows how these Coast Guards will perform.

Because they are not even official troops after all, and cannot even be called "navy" in a dignified manner, but can only be replaced by "coastal police". Moreover, in this sea thousands of miles away from the mainland, it is difficult to have the sentiment of defending the country, so where does the military spirit come from?

If Zhao Hao doesn't solve this problem and sends these strong young men to the battlefield, he will be committing a crime and committing suicide!

When he was in Jiangnan, he and Xu Wei had secret discussions several times, and finally decided to try to have the coast guard force named "The Royal Family of the Ming Dynasty".

So although the coast guard force is actually completely under the jurisdiction of Jiangnan Group, its current full name is "Tamra Garrison of the Ming Royal Shipping Corporation", which can be understood as one team with two brands.

The reason why Master Zhao went to such great lengths to arrange this was simply to curry the favor of Emperor Longqing. With the title of "Imperial Ming Dynasty", the soldiers of the Coast Guard would believe that they had the approval of the emperor and would no longer think that they were an "illegal armed force".

The Ming Dynasty was founded 200 years ago, and the country was the most legitimate. The legitimacy of the Ming emperor in the hearts of the people was unparalleled. It was like the Japanese daimyo had to rub the emperor's ass to win the support of the people and subordinates. Although the emperor could not command the daimyo's army at all...

But this only solved the problem of identity. Master Zhao still needed to make the soldiers understand who they were really fighting for.
