Chapter 164: Water Master
But this has nothing to do with him, all he needs is obedience, Tang Ding bowed his head and said: "I am willing to go to the coast, please ask His Highness to command." ”
Zhu Biao nodded with satisfaction, there are enough people going to Shanxi, and it is useless to have one more Tang Ding, so it is better to let him go to the coast to develop.
Zhu Biao turned around and looked at him solemnly and said: "Tang Ding, this palace has great expectations for you to let you go to the coast, don't think that you are sent away, if you do well, this palace will not be stingy with rewards, and you will not escape punishment if you don't do well." ”
Tang Ding's eyes lit up when he heard this, what he was afraid of was that the Tang family would be refrigerated and not valued by the royal family, if so, the Tang family would not be far away, and now that the prince entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, he would do it desperately!
Zhu Biao turned around and said: "The elite of the Ming sailors are in the hands of your father, next year he will lead the army to recover Bashu, he will definitely not be able to take the sailors away, I want you to take over the most elite of them, and recruit excellent shipwrights on a large scale." ”
Tang Ding immediately agreed after hearing this, he didn't really understand why he did this, but since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he would do it seriously, he was not qualified to let His Highness explain anything.
After Zhu Biao finished speaking, he waved his hand, and Tang Ding bowed down and retreated, these noble children all have false positions on their heads, if the starting point of the army is still very high, plus Tang Ding is still in the army led by his father.
In fact, the Ming Dynasty has a very good naval army at this time, the original body is Zhu Yuanzhang's Chaohu Water Division, its combat effectiveness is quite good, Zhu Biao went to check the archives of the Ministry of War, and now the Ming Dynasty has 800 patrol ships, 1,200 warships, 200 ocean-going treasure ships, 200 large ships, and 300 grain ships.
Its scale and combat effectiveness are leading in today's world, in the eyes of many people, China seems to have no navy since ancient times, but in fact, in the Sui and Tang dynasties, with the development of economy, science and technology and the enhancement of national strength, the level of naval weapons and equipment has not only reached the peak of the cold weapon era, but also the shipbuilding capacity and shipbuilding technology have also been unprecedentedly improved.
The Southern Song Dynasty began a large-scale advance into the sea, and the Chinese naval fleet gradually took control of southeastern China; The Yuan dynasty continued to develop, and in turn gained control of the South China Sea.
The Ming and Qing dynasties were the period when the Chinese navy went from the peak to the decline, and the Chinese fleet's long-distance navigation ability reached the peak in the early Ming Dynasty.
From the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang's battle to cross the river and the water battle of Poyang Lake, to Zheng Chenggong's recovery of Taiwan, the Ming Dynasty was founded for nearly 300 years, and experienced the Battle of Tuen Mun, the Battle of Xicaowan, the Battle of Luliang, the Battle of Penghu, the Battle of Liaoluo Bay and other naval battles, and successively defeated the Portuguese, as well as the Japanese and Dutch invaders without tasting a single defeat.
It's a pity that the ancient Chinese military has always emphasized land warfare and light water warfare, so the glory of the Ming Dynasty's sailors was submerged because of this, and after the Qing Dynasty, it opened a pattern of consecutive defeats.
Zhu Biao naturally will not despise this matter, Tang Ding's identity is just right, and when the matter of relocation is over, Zhu Biao plans to take a trip to Fujian.
Fu Zhong looked at Zhu Biao with some concern, what if this fence was unstable and let His Highness fall, he silently took a few steps forward, as long as His Highness's body was unstable, he would directly drag His Highness.
After a while, Li Qi led the youngest son of the official Shangshu and the son of Wang Guangyang, who was loyal and diligent, and Zhu Biao turned around and encouraged them a few words, and told them to learn some arithmetic, and they would need it when they arrived in Shanxi.
Li Qi's performance is just right, since the last blow, the whole person has shed his impetuousness, even if Zhu Biao sees it, it is pleasing to the eye.
Since the crown prince and concubine were decided, the Li family has completely stood by Zhu Biao's side, and Li Shanchang is about to retire, Li Qi naturally knows this, he is still young and does not want to follow his father back to his hometown to retire.
The youngest son of the official department is a little average, but it is normal, after all, he is not the eldest son, the eldest son of the official department is almost twenty years older than Zhu Biao, and he has already served in Zhongshu Province, so it is naturally not suitable for here.
Wang Guangyang's son is very eager, but Zhu Biao can also understand that his father defected to Zhu Yuanzhang early, he was born in the late Yuan Dynasty, he was able to read scriptures, especially poetry, and good officials, and he was a rare civil official under Lao Zhu.
It's just that this person is a good gentleman, Li Shanchang transferred him back to Zhongshu Province, hoping that he could check and balance Yang Xian, but he wanted to protect himself, but this kind of thing is that you come and I go to the enemy and I retreat, where you don't move me, I don't move you.
Two months ago, Wang Guangyang's old mother was sick, and he was trapped in Zhongshu Province and did not return to his hometown to serve the sick, so Yang Xian instigated the imperial history to impeach Wang Guangyang for being extremely unfilial to his mother, and Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't look past this person's submissive appearance.
Zhu Yuanzhang reprimanded Wang Guangyang and exiled him to his hometown to serve the sick, only halfway through, there was a leak in his official business, Yang Xian personally went into battle to impeach, and Wang Guangyang was now relocated to Hainan.
However, Zhu Biao knew that it was only a matter of time before Wang Guangyang came back, and this person's submissive character may not be treated well by others, but it is the most precious to Zhu Yuanzhang.
And this person's ability is there, it is estimated that when Yang Xian falls, Wang Guangyang should be transferred back, Zhu Biao comforted Wang Zizhi softly, and told him that he would intercede with the saint.
Wang Zizhi was naturally moved, after all, this was his last straw, it stands to reason that he is not qualified to participate in this banquet, but he is good friends with Li Qi, so he has the opportunity to come in.
Zhu Biao naturally doesn't mind taking a favor for nothing, anyway, as long as Wang Guangyang is transferred back, the Wang family will have to accept this favor.
After that, Feng Cheng, Zheng Zhen, Kang Duo, Tang Jingye and other martial arts children were not so troublesome, they were all high-spirited young men, full of anticipation and great achievements with His Royal Highness the Prince, and the failure to follow Zhu Biao's Northern Expedition to destroy the Yuan Dynasty made them heartbroken for a long time.
The fathers and brothers of these people have instilled in them the concept of loyalty to the Zhu family, and Zhu Biaoyunwen Yunwu is what they need to look up to in any aspect, so they are all very well-behaved.
Zhu Biao naturally wants to appease them, as long as they have spent the two generations of the founding of the country, the noble power is the most loyal and reliable compared to other forces, after all, they are nobles and can rest with the country, and the glory and wealth of the children and grandchildren are tied to the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty.
And this generation of noble young people are well educated, maybe there are some problems in personality and temper, but the basic kung fu is still there, horseback archery and the art of war are involved a lot, after all, it has just been founded, and the housekeeping ability has not been lost.
As long as they have the ability, Zhu Biao is still willing to get used to them a little, after all, no matter how bad their personality is, can they compare to Lan Yu, Zhu Biao thinks of him and his head hurts now.
The banquet was almost over, everyone left the fence where the wine table was scattered, and it was almost the same to talk about it alone, and Xu Yungong Changmao also walked to Zhu Biao's side.
