Chapter 122: The Mighty Sailor Who Dominates the Sea
"Congratulations to Li Zhizhou, such a young road official, in my Heavenly Empire, tsk, it's really rare, it can be said that there is no one before and no one after you."
In Zhao Ji's edict, he not only allowed Quanzhou to prepare for the establishment of a boat division, but also promoted Li Sanjian to raise soldiers to inspect official affairs for Quanzhou, Zhangzhou, and Nanjianzhou, and to take charge of the inspection of the three states, arresting thieves and other matters.
The three states are not state officials who raise soldiers to inspect official duties, but should be counted as road-level officials.
"Hehe, Lieutenant Yang laughed, Xia Guan just got another dispatch." Li Sanjian smiled when he heard this: "Yang Zhongguan has worked hard all the way, and the lower officials have prepared a banquet, how about inviting Yang Zhongguan to appreciate the light?" ”
In front of these eunuchs in the palace, Li Sanjian didn't dare to be disrespectful, if he was disrespectful, these people would say a few words of "good words" in front of the emperor, and Li Sanjian would not be able to eat and walk away...
At the same time, Liang Shicheng helped a lot in the matter of Quanzhou a year ago, and Yang Jian was Liang Shicheng's confidant, so Li Sanjian was still a little grateful.
At the same time, Li Sanjian was also very helpless, and he also realized the difficulties of the local state capital, that is, people come and go, which is time-consuming and costly.
If the imperial court envoys came to Quanzhou a few more times, then Li Sanjian and the others would not have to do anything.
"Li Zhizhou is so gracious, but our family is gracious." Yang Jian nodded with satisfaction when he heard this.
Since Li Sanjian became the governor of Quanzhou, he has become more and more sensible, and this is still the first time Li Sanjian has invited himself to a banquet since he met him, Yang Jian secretly said in his heart, presumably it will be followed by a generous gift.
"That's very good, Lieutenant Yang please take the first step, and the next official will come to accompany him after dealing with the matter of Shenzhou." Li Sanjian nodded.
"Come on, serve Lieutenant Yang into the city." Li Sanjian then instructed his subordinates.
"Ouch, I almost forgot, look at our memory... Halfway through, Yang Jian suddenly ran back, took out a letter and handed it to Li Sanjian.
"Lieutenant Yang Guan, this is... Li Sanjian took the letter and asked curiously.
"This is the letter that Cai Xianggong entrusted our family to bring you." Yang Jian replied.
"Cai Xianggong, which Cai Xianggong?" Li Sanjian asked in amazement.
"Hehe, it's Li Zhizhou's Taishan boss, Cai Jing, the new deputy prime minister of the imperial court." Yang Jian replied with a smile: "Your Majesty really has nothing to say to you and your son-in-law... ”
“。。。。。。。。”
Cai Jing? Cai Jing actually wrote to himself? Li Sanjian pinched the letter and looked at the back of Yang Jian and the others leaving, feeling both shocked and suspicious.
In the past, Li Sanjian didn't know that Cai Rongxue's fake father was Cai Jing, and his impression of Cai Jing was still good, but since he knew, Li Sanjian's impression of Cai Jing has changed sharply, and he is afraid to avoid it.
The reason is self-evident, and this is also the main reason why Cai Jing asked Li Sanjian to design to bring down Zeng Bu when he was in the capital, but Li Sanjian switched to Zeng Bu.
Since then, there has been an estrangement between the two, and they have turned against each other.
Cai Jing was not overthrown, but he was resurrected, and he was appointed as the deputy minister of the imperial court, and Li Sanjian was worried about it.
At this time, Cai Jing gave Li Sanjian a letter, so what did he mean? Li Sanjian wanted to open the letter immediately and read it, but at this moment, a group of civil and military personnel in Quanzhou were beside him, so it was inconvenient to check it immediately.
"Where are Zhang Kan and Zheng Tai?" After half a ring, Li Sanjian spoke.
"Young general, what does Li Zhizhou command?" Zhang Kan and Zheng Tai walked to Li Sanjian's side and asked together.
Li Sanjian looked at the two towering giant ships, and after a long time, he spoke: "From today onwards, I will have a boat master in Quanzhou, and from today onwards, my Great Song Boat Master will gallop in the Yangtze River of the Dahai Sea, dominate the Yangtze River of the Dahai Sea, and will be invincible in the world." ”
"Li Zhizhou, what's the name of the boat master?" Li Sanjian's words couldn't help but make people feel excited, and even Cui Yongzi, who was old and serious, couldn't help but do so, so he asked.
"It's called 。。。。。。' Wuwei Water Master', how? Li Sanjian replied after a moment of silence.
"We obey Li Taishou's orders!" Quanzhou a cadre of civil and military people sang together.
"And you, Zhang Kan, are the first commanders of the Wuwei Navy, Zheng Tai is the head of the capital of the Wuwei Navy, and the two Shenzhou are the battleships of the Wuwei Navy." Li Sanjian then said to Zhang Kan and Zheng Tai.
"The young general obeys the order, Xie Li Zhizhou!" Zhang Kan and Zheng Tai were overjoyed and responded loudly together.
Zheng Tai, who used to be a bandit, was even more happy in his heart, from today onwards, even if he was recruited by the government, even if he was whitewashed, how could Zheng Tai not be ecstatic in his heart?
"Dare, how long will it take to transform Shenzhou into a warship?" Li Sanjian then looked at Zhang Kan and asked.
"The means of water warfare are nothing more than ramming, broadside warfare, fire attack, arrows, etc., and the weapons of water warfare are nothing more than bed crossbows, slapsticks, rockets, trebuchets, etc., but Li Zhizhou, this matter is easier said than done, and it will take at least six months to transform the two Shenzhou into warships." Zhang Kan bowed down and replied when he heard this.
"If only there was artillery... Li Sanjian sighed.
"Artillery? Is Li Zhizhou talking about thunderbolts? The thunderbolt is a weapon of land warfare, and it has not yet been on a ship. Zhang Kan said suspiciously.
"I can't wait so long." Li Sanjian shook his head and said to Zhang Kan: "To transform the battleship, this official can only give you four months, and you must complete the transformation of Shenzhou within four months." ”
The thunderbolt is not an artillery, but a kind of explosive or incendiary object thrown by a trebuchet, and Li Sanjian still knows some about this.
If there is artillery, of course, the boat division is invincible and will be invincible, but at this time, Li Sanjian only has the appearance of the artillery in his mind, only the general principle of the artillery, where does he know the detailed production principle and process of the artillery?
Even if Li Sanjian knew the detailed principles and process of making artillery, the production process of making artillery and the gunpowder or explosives needed to launch shells at this time could not be achieved at all.
However, as long as the kung fu is deep and the iron pestle is sharpened into a needle, there is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of people with a heart, as long as I can insist on working hard in this direction, one day, the Great Song Dynasty will have the first artillery in this world, even if it is for five years, ten years, or even decades, I must persevere, Li Sanjian secretly made up his mind in his heart.
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
"Xianggong is back!"
When night fell, Li Sanjian returned to the Taishou Mansion, and Zhai Liu, the housekeeper of the Taishou Mansion, carried a lantern to welcome the door.
"Well, where is Madame?" Li Sanjian asked with a blushing face.
"In the old lady's room, Xianggong, what are you... Zhai Liu saw that Li Sanjian's expression was not good, so he asked cautiously.
Li Sanjian shook his head and strode towards his mother Fu Erniang's residence.
"Mother, the child is back." Li Sanjian walked to Fu Erniang's residence, stood at the door of the compartment and said loudly.
"Jian'er is back? Fast into the house. Fu Erniang said happily when she heard this.
Li Sanjian nodded and pushed the door in, only to see his wife and concubines Cai Rongxue, Wang Wen, and Xu Tingting all sitting around the house, the summer was hot, and the clothes on Fu Erniang and others were relatively thin, Wang Wen sat behind Fu Erniang, and gently fanned Fu Erniang with a sandalwood fan.
After Li Sanjian entered the house, Fu Erniang and the others all stood up.
"Official!" Cai Rongxue, Wang Wen, and Xu Tingting blessed a blessing together.
"Jian'er, what's wrong with you?" Fu Erniang saw Li Sanjian's face blushing and unhappy, so she asked with concern.
"Mother, the child is fine, maybe it's because the weather is too hot." Li Sanjian hurriedly forced a smile when he heard this.
Li Sanjian had something to worry about in his heart, but no matter how unhappy he was, he didn't dare to show it in front of his mother.
"It's just, it's just too hot, look at the sweat on your face." After Fu Erniang gently wiped the sweat off Li Sanjian's face with a silk scarf, she instructed her three daughters-in-law again and again: "This official dress is simply too thick, Rong Xue, you go get thinner clothes, Jian'er, you haven't eaten yet, right?" Wen'er, you go and tell the kitchen to cook some food, and Ting'er, you go and bring a bowl of chilled lotus seed soup. ”
Cai Rongxue and the other three girls answered in unison, and went out to get busy.
After a while, Cai Rongxue took a silk dress and served Li Sanjian to change it into, and Xu Tingting handed a bowl of chilled lotus seed soup to Li Sanjian.
When Li Sanjian was changing clothes, he didn't even look at Cai Rongxue.
The spoon touched the porcelain bowl lightly, making a crisp sound, which made Li Sanjian feel a lot cooler in his heart before drinking the iced lotus seed soup, and a bowl of chilled lotus seed soup made Li Sanjian feel refreshed all over his body, and at the same time, the nausea in his heart was also reduced a lot.
"Mother, we have been in Quanzhou for more than a year, is there any news of grandpa? Are they in the capital? After Li Sanjian handed the empty bowl to Xu Tingting, he asked casually.
"Yes, I received a letter from your grandfather just two days ago, your grandfather is fine, so we don't have to worry, and I also asked Gongming to take care of them, and we have to thank them when we go back." Fu Erniang said with a smile.
"That's as it should be." Li Sanjian nodded.
I haven't seen Liu Anjie, Zeng Gongming and other close friends for a long time, and Li Sanjian also misses them.
"Jian'er, my grandfather mentioned something in the letter, I don't know... Fu Erniang then said with some hesitation.
"Mother, if you have something to say, it's just that." Li Sanjian sat down next to Fu Erniang and said.
"Jian'er, that's the case, your grandfather's letter said that your third uncle has nothing to do in the capital all day long, so... That's why your grandfather asked him to come to Quanzhou. Fu Erniang said.
"Oh? Coming to Quanzhou? What to do? Li Sanjian asked in surprise when he heard this.
"What do you say? Do you pretend to be confused in front of your mother? Fu Erniang slapped Li Sanjian angrily.
"Oh, hehe, grandpa probably wants the third uncle to be born in Quanzhou?" Li Sanjian smiled when he heard this.
"What kind of bastard? It's so ugly. Fu Erniang glanced at Li Sanjian and said: "Your third uncle is not a few years older than you, my mother plans to let your third uncle eat a bowl of official rice, do you think it's okay?" ”
"Haha, okay, how not? How dare the child disobey the mother's command? Let the third uncle come, and the child will make proper arrangements. Li Sanjian said with a smile.
Li Sanjian's third uncle Fu Ding is a person by the sea, and he must be excellent at driving a boat and being water-oriented, and at this time, the Wuwei Sailor is just recruiting troops, so let him do it in the Sailor first, Li Sanjian said secretly in his heart.
"Hee-hee, I knew you wouldn't dare disagree." Fu Erniang was immediately overjoyed when she heard this, and looked at Li Sanjian with a smile full of pride.
