Chapter 1066: The Water Army
Yun Lin had no choice but to tell Li Ju the difference between the navy and ordinary soldiers: "...... If you want to walk like a flat step on a ship with strong winds and waves, you can only practice on the boat, so except for Jinghaihou, there is no naval army that can fight against the Japanese invaders. Originally, the prince did not have the intention of forming a naval army, but after we could build ships, the prince felt that Tianjin Wei was a good place. At this point, there was a slight hesitation in his expression.
Li Ju helped take care of the family's chores at a young age, although it was not as hard as those self-made people, but Li Changqing and the Li family were not as prominent as they are today, he had also been overshadowed, he knew how to look at people's faces, and knew how to look at faces, not to mention Lin Yun's special identity, he was a person who had not really been the commander of an army but could let Li Qian fully entrust the trivial matters at home, such a person is definitely not simple, Li Ju felt that he had not gone through a big scene except for the little thing in Taiyuan, and now he could manage the dock of Tianjin Wei, all because he was Li Qian's younger brother, he should be humble, respectfully follow those who have experience to learn hard, and hurry up to be competent for Li Qian's trust.
"Master Yun can just say anything directly. He hurriedly smiled, "You have followed my eldest brother for so many years, you should know my eldest brother's temperament." If he hadn't believed you, he wouldn't have asked me anything to ask you, and he wouldn't have asked you to tell me about it. I went to Tianjin Wei to represent my brother. I want to do things well, but I'm not going to smash my brother's field. ”
Yunlin and Li Ju did not have a deep relationship, but he admired Li Qian's way of employing people very much. Since Li Qian thinks that Li Ju can be competent in the affairs of Tianjin Wei Dock, then Li Ju must have his own merits. And Li Ju has a sentence that is very right, Li Ju is there to support Li Qian, not to smash the field, and there are some things he feels necessary to say, so he should not hide them. This is the greatest support for Li Ju.
He laughed and said, "Then you're welcome!"
Li Ju hurriedly smiled respectfully: "Lord Yun, please speak!"
Yun Lin said: "The drawings of the shipbuilding were given by the county lord, but the shipbuilding was the intention of Mr. Kang and Mr. Zheng. At first, the prince didn't take this matter to heart, but Mr. Kang and Mr. Zheng talked about the importance of the navy in front of the prince more than once, and the prince moved his mind and left a few craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry at that time. But he didn't expect those craftsmen to build the ship with two or three guards of the guard, and the prince wanted to give Mr. Zheng and Mr. Kang an explanation.
"I never thought that those craftsmen and the three guards of the guard had really built the ship.
"The leader of this craftsman is a master surnamed Shang. The lives of these craftsmen, I will compile them into a book and let people give them to the third master. He had been in charge of the dockyard before. But since the beginning of this year, his health has deteriorated, and he wrote a secret letter to the prince, asking the prince to send someone to take over the dockyard affairs. For this reason, the prince also made a special trip to ask me to send someone to check on Master Shang. Later, it was found that Master Shang was not in good health, but probably because he was afraid of the birds, and he hid the bow.
"The prince didn't mean this, but he couldn't stop other people's random thoughts. The prince thought about finding someone to take over the dockyard.
"The third master went over, and he wanted to find a way to win over this surnamed Shang, not only to win him over, but also to win over those craftsmen. ”
He was also afraid that Li Ju would feel uncomfortable when he heard it, and he didn't think that Li Ju would understand it as soon as he heard it, and he knew what to do: "Don't worry, I have experience in this kind of thing - when I took over the housework, many of my father's sworn brothers were still alive, most of them thought I was young and ignorant, and some of them were face-saving, I was like a grandson in front of them, but after a few years of hard work, if I came forward on behalf of the Li family, no one would laugh at me."
"No matter what kind of temper that Master Shang has, I will respect it, and I will be neither humble nor arrogant!"
Yun Lin couldn't help but nod again and again, feeling that Li Qian's worries before were superfluous, as long as Li Ju didn't mess around with his own opinions, there would be no major incidents on the dock side.
Now it's the matter of recruitment.
It's not that Lintong Wangfu can't recruit soldiers, but there is little water in the entire north, and there are few people who know water, and it is too difficult to form a water army that can compete with Jinghai Houfu.
Fortunately, there are not a lot of difficulties they have encountered over the years, but they have managed to overcome them one by one, and this process of overcoming is also a very interesting and even growth-making thing. Yunlin does not reject this difficulty.
To everyone's surprise, it was Liu Dongyue who changed this situation.
He knew a businessman from Jiangxi. It is said that Jiujiang suffered from floods, many people were displaced, and I heard that everyone in the north could eat under the governance of the king of Lintong in recent years, and they fled to the north vigorously.
"If that's the case, it's better to recruit some Jiangxi soldiers first. He told Jiang Xian about this, "Anyway, they are quite far away from Jinling and Fujian, and they have left their hometowns when they come to Tianjinwei, so it should be okay for them to teach our people to swim, right?"
He wasn't sure if his idea would work.
Jiang Xian's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he called Liu Dongyue and took him to the small study in Li Qian's outer courtyard.
It just so happened that Li Qian was fine today, and he was talking to Cao Xuan about Prince Jian.
Prince Jian is now like being blindfolded by hatred, desperately gossiping about Zhao Xi and Zhao Xiao.
Cao Xuan said distressedly: "Even I don't know what to do now, right?" Prince Jian didn't say anything in the capital, but spent a lot of effort and money to hire a master from Yangzhou to talk about commenting. Now Zhao Xiao didn't find out, if Zhao Xiao found out, he would definitely kill a hundred people, isn't this harmful?"
Li Qian felt that it didn't matter, and said, "I didn't wronged Zhao Xi! I'm counting the days, Zhao Xiao should finish his filial piety soon, right?"
"There are still ten days. Cao Xuan said, "In the past half a year, he has helped the emperor shout about the pro-government, that is, Lord Zuo came to the north before, and he also lobbied for Zhao Xi, I said that this time Wang Jidao Pavilion elder position is afraid that he will not be able to keep it." ”
Li Qian thought of Zuo Quan.
This brother-in-law hasn't changed much over the years, and as a brother-in-law who never causes trouble, he is still quite satisfied. It's a pity that Zuo Yiming was in a hurry, Zuo Quan went to Taiyuan to ask Li Changqing and Mrs. He to say goodbye, and then followed Zuo Yiming back to Jiangnan.
Zuo Yiming's move was to get the support of the Li family, and after discussing with Jiang Xian, he gave Zuo Yiming a clear answer. And asked Zuo Yiming to make it clear to Zhao Xi after he went back that the Lintong Royal Mansion must support Zhao Xi's pro-government, but Wang Jidao couldn't be the first assistant - back then, Wang Jidao proposed to let Jiang Xian leave Beijing, and Li Qian had to give an explanation for this matter.
Two days ago, they received a letter from Zuo Yiming, saying that Zhao Xi had already moved Zhao Xiao. Only wait for Zhao Xiao's one-year filial piety period to expire, Zhao Xiao proposed to let Zhao Xi take charge of the government, and then Zuo Yiming, Li Yao and others will second, even if Wang Jidao has Su Peiwen to advance and retreat together, there is no way to turn the tide.
"Wait for Zhao Xiao to get rid of his filial piety, everyone will pay attention to Zhao Xiao these days. We're just waiting for the opportunity!"
