Chapter 1118: Flames

This news naturally can't be hidden from Zhao Xiao.

Zhao Xiao had a fire in his heart, thinking that he had to find a way to solve this matter, otherwise the officials of all sizes in Jinling would be secretive about this matter, and it would only spread more and more evil calls, and the more it spread, the more it became more and more unscored, but before he could discuss it with the staff around him, Fujian was eight hundred miles away, and there were Japanese robbers making trouble on the beach.

He didn't control his temper and smashed the official letter on the bookcase on the spot.

Li Qian pacified the northwest, Jiang Lu started a war in Goryeo, and he may not know the situation in Jinling, and there are good news every three or five times, although those good news are not worth mentioning in his opinion, they are all trivial things, but in Zhao Xi's opinion, they are all meritorious deeds.

This is the method that the ministers are accustomed to using in front of the emperor.

Zhao Xiao didn't look at it very much, but he had to admit that at the latest next year, Jiang Lu would be able to conquer Goryeo in the spring of next year at the latest.

However, the king of Goryeo who was in Jianglu must have lost his life.

While Zhao Xiao sneered, he was very annoyed in his heart.

Li Qian and Jiang Lu are both dominant, but there are frequent situations on his side, those widows are like leeks, cutting a stubble and immediately growing a stubble, I don't know when it will be the end.

He summoned the staff who was in charge of military affairs in peacetime and asked him about his strategy: "...... We're here now, too passive. I can only defend to the death, wait for the Japanese to attack, and find a way to hit the old nest of the Japanese invaders. You go back to Fujian to discuss with the second master to see if there is any good way. I must be given a clear answer by the ninth day of September. ”

There are too many people reading in the south of the Yangtze River, unlike southern Fujian or the north where they are easy to fool, and he likes to write books and talk about something, and he is now not right, even if he wants to ban books, he can't do it. And in order to avoid suspicion, it is inconvenient for him to intervene directly in some things, he still wants to be famous, and he also wants to leave a name in history. This is also an important reason why he wants to reuse the people of Jingyang Academy.

Some things are for the people of Jingyang Academy to do, and some pots are also for them to carry.

But when he practiced, he found that whether it was Jin Haitao, who was assigned to manage military affairs, or Gu Chao, who was arranged to manage government affairs, they didn't have too deep friendships in the past, they didn't know much, and they were very difficult to use.

is like Jin Haitao, who followed him to set up Zhao Xi, and actually pretended to be a deputy loyal minister.

Zhao Xiao couldn't help but laugh when he thought about it.

If it weren't for the fact that Jin Haitao and Li Qian had a gap, Jin Haitao would not have a good end after returning to the north, and Jin Haitao also understood this, and repeatedly found someone to get in touch with him, how could he choose Jin Haitao.

When Jin Haitao got on his boat, he should have the consciousness of becoming his butcher's knife.

It's hateful that he still has illusions in his heart.

How could he put such a useless person to use?

And then there's Gu Chao's side.

He thought that Jingyang Academy was no matter how many scholars gathered, there were scum of Swen, and there must also be iron bones, who would cherish their reputation and pay attention to cultivation, but they never thought that those people would run over like vicious dogs when they looked at the high-ranking officials Houlu, and they looked like I would bite whoever stopped me. It's a lot of appetite to watch.

The officials sent to the north have been delayed, and I don't know if there will be any changes in the benefits of getting hands, in the face of such a group of people, whether Gu Chao can continue to restrain them, Zhao Xiao disdainfully wanted to see Gu Chao's methods, and was also a little worried that it would affect his major affairs.

If he does not solve these two matters as soon as possible, it will be impossible for him to grasp the situation in the DPRK and China, and it will be impossible for him to truly control Zhao Xi.

He had to find a way to pacify southern Fujian and pacify those Japanese robbers, so that he could have the energy and time to stay in Jinling and deal with the emperor and ministers.

Otherwise, his previous efforts are likely to be wasted or even become a joke.

Zhao Xiao even thought about whether Li Qian would take the opportunity to go south in the name of "Qingjun's side" if the situation became very unfavorable to him.

He asked his staff: "Is there any news from Tianjin Wei?"

Since he knew that Li Qian's dock in Tianjin Wei could build a ship, he sent a secret agent to find out the news of the dock.

Because Zhao Xiao would ask about it when he remembered it, the staff always paid attention to the movement of the dock, and said immediately when he heard this: "It was said that two more big ships were launched two days ago. ”

So fast!

Zhao Xiao was stunned for a moment and said, "Didn't Guo Yonggu continue to book ships from them?"

Since Li Qian's younger brother Li Ju, Guo Yonggu's son-in-law, took charge of the shipyard in Tianjinwei, Li Qian sent a shipbuilding drawing to Guo Yonggu. Guo Yonggu was overjoyed and sent Li Qian several ships of iron and stone, and sent several skilled blacksmiths. Just two days ago, Guo Yonggu built the first small boat, for which Li Qian also sent someone to congratulate him.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xiao couldn't help but raise the teacup in his hand and take a sip of it.

The staff member more or less knew Zhao Xiao's mood, he hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Sichuan has not ordered any more ships from Tianjin Wei. ”

But in Minnan, some poor fishermen quietly bought small fishing boats from Tianjin Wei, and it was said that they could pay more than half of the money to buy the boats in advance, and the rest of the money could be repaid in batches.

Because they are all small boats fishing on the seaside, the scale is not large, and the Jinghai Marquis Mansion knows that it does not take this matter to heart. However, this staff member felt that the people sent by Li Qian to southern Fujian were very powerful, and in the long run, the dock of Tianjin Wei might occupy a large part of the fishing village.

Zhao Xiao was not happy in his heart, this was not the best time to talk about this matter.

He still quietly observed it first, and then told Zhao Xiao what progress there was.

The staff member quietly made up his mind and said, "Are you worried that the other side will be able to go south? Our people inquired that after Li Dao went to the capital, he did not go to Tianjinwei, but stayed in the capital with several sons and daughters-in-law. It seems that Li Qian won't need Li Dao for a while. ”

That is, the water army has not yet been built.

Zhao Xiao nodded absentmindedly and said, "Li Qian is very cunning and can endure it. Li Dao's matter must be investigated. Maybe he's using a trick to cover his eyes, and he's got everything ready behind his back. ”

This is exactly what answers the saying that "the person who knows you best is not a friend, but an enemy".

During Li Qian's few months at Poyang Lake, he expanded the naval army to 10,000, and Li Dao's eldest son was also left there.

He is now worried about how not to get these 10,000 people to Weihai and practice in the sea for a while.

Jiang Xian didn't care about him, and Li Dongzhi and others took refuge in Xiaotangshan for the summer, watching Huaici and several brothers of the Zuo family practice calligraphy in the water pavilion every day, and Brother Shen led Brother Zhi to run all over the mountain.

Li Qian came to visit Jiang Xian halfway, only to find that Brother Shen was taller than his shoulders.

He was taken aback and said to Jiang Xian: "Why is this kid jumping so high? ”

As soon as the child is tall, he looks very thin.

Jiang Xiangang was tossed by Li Qian, and just wanted to sleep in the sound of cicadas, and yawned: "He doesn't know how much he can eat!" The eldest wife of the Dong family sent a few little lambs over, and Brother Shen said that several children of the Zuo family came to the north for the first time and were going to roast and eat. I roasted two sheep in one go, and Brother Shen and Brother Zhi ate at least one sheep, I was afraid that the two of them would not be restrained, so I left Dr. Chang here for one night, but the two of them had nothing to do. Brother Shen was still hungry in the middle of the night, and Liu Niangzi ordered a big bowl of noodles for him to eat. ”
