During the epidemic, that is, after Zhao Bing prescribed the prescription, most patients survived. Under his concern, mosquito nets are now equipped with mosquito repellent sachets hanging on each soldier's waist. The low-lying camp was filled, and drainage channels with ditch covers were built to reduce the breeding of mosquitoes. After a series of measures were implemented, the malaria rate was greatly reduced and the new patients were also within control. However, this time the honor of the miracle doctor was given to Hao Yuntong, and he also gained a firm foothold in the medical hospital, and there was no need to act tremblingly at others' eyes.

While participating in the large-scale coastal defense construction, Duzuoyuan has also been engaged in the construction of large-scale coastal defense. Now the first batch of weapons have been produced; gunpowder has been put into production, and high-explosive black gunpowder has been trial-produced and subdivided to assemble different firearms; the cloakwork has been rushing to complete the production of mosquito nets day and night, and sewed two sets of military uniforms for each officer and soldier of the entire army and replaced their own old clothes; the armor has also begun to be produced, but it is still mainly repaired and collected old armor. Now the troops participating in the patrol on the front line have been equipped with leather armor, and officers above the head have been equipped with iron armor.

Of course, the busiest one is the boat yard. Most of the warships of the Navy of the Supervisor's Mansion are civilian ships and merchant ships. Although they can also be used for combat, they have the meaning of making up. However, fighting is not a matter of making up. Therefore, Zhao Bing strongly demands that it must be transformed, otherwise it will not be allowed to enter service. Fortunately, the maritime trade exhibition in Qiongzhou led to the development of repairs and shipbuilding exhibitions, and trained many skilled craftsmen. Therefore, these people were recruited to participate in it to ensure the progress of the project.

What excited Zhao Bing the most was that all ten turtle ships were completed as scheduled. In order to ensure that they could form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, while organizing simulation training on the road, he also ordered the Fighting Army to select a group of officers and soldiers to board the ship during the transformation and familiarize themselves with the structure and uses of various parts. These people not only had to undertake the task of testing sailing and testing the performance of the turtle ship, but also the proposed heads of various departments on the ship. After they could master various skills, they would assume the responsibility of training new people. Zhao Bing wanted to ensure that the Fighting Army formed an army as soon as possible by leading the old and new.

Therefore, when the first turtle ship was launched, the entire ship was from the sailor who rowed the sailor to the captain who was in charge of command, all of which were officers, and all were matched. In other words, there were several deputy officers in one position, and there were five deputy captains alone. If Zhao Bing had not been worried about an accident during the trial voyage, he would have wanted all the chiefs of the ten warships to be on board for internship. Finally, after careful consideration, he still turned a half, otherwise the ship would sink and the officers of the entire Defeat Army would lose more than half of the losses. He could not afford such losses.

When the new ship was launched, in addition to these intern officers, there were also clerks sent by the General Office according to the customs. The task of these people not only records the performance of each participant as usual, but also is responsible for recording the performance of the ship in various sea conditions. For example, in the case of wind and good sea conditions, they use sails, oars to drive the ship's degree, and the maximum time to use sails and oars, etc. His Highness has drawn the corresponding form in advance, indicating the items and standards to be recorded, and they only need to fill in the truth based on the actual situation.

Zhao Bing, who was unable to participate in the trial voyage, was able to evaluate the various performances of the ship based on the collected data, so as to determine which places should be improved, which aspects should be paid attention to, and which behaviors were absolutely forbidden. As the data accumulation increases, corresponding operating rules can be prepared, and then the combat manual can be edited based on this, so that you can know under what circumstances can you sail, under what circumstances can you put into battle, what tactics can be used in combat, how to deal with dangers, etc.

Zhao Bing did this with helplessness and was forced by the situation. He knew that most of the ancient military talents were born in the army and fought with one shot and one sword. Most of these military men had no ink in their stomachs, and many of them were even illiterate, which led to many of their experiences being passed down by words and deeds, which led to the saying that the generals were passed down by example and deeds. Many armies often emerged with the emergence of famous generals. Once they were about to die, the army would soon decline. In addition to the personal charm of the generals, there was also the problem of inheritance and dynasty.

Everyone knows that the military books in ancient times were very general, focusing on strategy and neglecting tactics. Furthermore, before the Han Dynasty, civil officials and generals were not as strict as in later generations. The distinction between civil and military only lies in the different positions. Examples of using literature instead of martial arts or using martial arts as literature are everywhere, so they could write military books that were passed down from generation to generation. However, after the Han and Tang Dynasties, it was difficult for military generals to have a glory in the past. They rely more on their personal talent and courage to gain fame. Even after the Song Dynasty, the training of military generals was established and selected, they paid more attention to courage and neglected strategic strategies. This is also the reason why there are very few famous generals who have been famous in history to enter the military, but more are the reasons for their ranks like Di Qing, Yue Fei, and Han Shizhong.

Zhao Bing knew the fatal weaknesses of the General's Office. There were only a few generals who truly understood military affairs except Ying Jieyan and Jiang Yan. Even Zhao Mengjin was just a deputy general in the past, with only a thousand soldiers under his command, so he used his courage rather than his plan. This was even more true for the grassroots generals below. Many of them were gentry, farmers, and military knowledge before entering the General's Office. Many of them did not have military knowledge. They all gathered together with their passion and prestige, and they became officers in a blink of an eye.

However, there were thousands of casualties in the war, and the most serious casualties were also grassroots officers who were the backbone of the army. If they were not replenished in time, they would affect their combat effectiveness. However, Zhao Bing now has no ability and no conditions to establish a military academy, so he can only train officers through short-term training. However, they only supplement the basic knowledge of the army, which is far from a qualified officer. Especially the navy, compared with the infantry, this is a technical army, and the situation faces more complex and requires longer time to accumulate experience. It is really not easy to cultivate a new man. Once casualties occur, no one will take over.
